?When Queen Norman led her army to the south. The small Greek villages and towns all descended in sight. The army had arrived at Sutheronika in a blink of an eye. In the Adrian Fort, in the residence of the general who was designated as a temporary palace by Emperor Norman, Egil received an envoy from Constantinople.

Although he was still carrying the pride of a civilized man at the moment he entered the door, he also wanted to show his courage, wisdom and integrity. In fact, when he heard about Egil's name and when the two countries were in a state of war, he was indeed brave.

But Egil did not give him any chance to show off. When he saw that he had letters in his hand, the Norman Emperor had a clear mind. Since there was letters, the so-called messenger had no meaning of existence. The emperor was not in the mood to tell him what the so-called thing is... or something like that. Just a question was to send the messenger away.

"Why don't the Greek envoys come down to kneel down and salute when they see the emperor?" Egil said this, while giving a look at the guard knights standing on both sides of the door, that is, behind the envoy. The two guard knights understood and were ready immediately.

"My Eastern Roman Empire is—ah!!"

From here, we can see that although humans are divided into many subspecies, they are indeed evidence of the same race. Their screams were the same - the envoy had just said half of what the envoy immediately took a step forward, and a sword sheath blew on the numb tendons behind his knees. The force was just right. He knelt down in one go. The other knight caught up with him two steps. He turned around and reached out and "clicked" and removed the chin of the envoy who was trying to curse.

The severe pain made the messenger want to struggle, but soon, two hands and half swords with cold light hit his neck.

"Move it for a while and let your head move." The cold words of the guard knight made the messenger feel his hair standing up. Then, his chin was put back. The messenger, who was sweating all over his body, did not dare to move as the guard knight said.

"By the way, that's it. Everyone needs harmony. This will make the world peaceful. Hahahaha..." Sitting on the chair with a tiger-skin cushion, Egil laughed and said such words that deserve to be beaten.

Of course, because he is the Norman Emperor, basically no one will deal with him. At most, Aurora, who is thousands of miles away, would just snort "I'm sick" and forget it. And this level of verbal attack can naturally be completely ignored with Egil's thickness.

After that, the letter in the messenger's hand was respectfully handed to Egil. There was no anthrax or something like this these days. It was basically unimaginable that poison was applied on the paper. However, the emperor who was afraid of death still asked someone to carefully check it out. Then he took the letter and read it in ten lines at a glance. Then he tore it into pieces.

"Nonsense." The emperor snorted lightly, looking at the messenger who was pressed by a sword below and forced to kneel down: "All nonsense."

After that, before the messenger could say anything, Egil waved his hand and prepared to ask the guards to deal with him. So the guards took their swords back into their sheaths, and each of them pulled him one arm and dragged him out.

At the same time, when Eastern Rome consolidated its city defense and prepared to fight to the death with the Normans, the main Norman troops also arrived at Fort Adrian. The 20,000 Balkan minions, 50,000 Eastern European recruits and 40,000 Norman standing troops. Together, a total of 110,000 troops carried the world's most advanced siege machinery manufacturing technology and the ambition of an emperor who covered the sky with one hand, headed towards Constantinople.

The war was about to begin. The Normans prepared everything they should have prepared. A large amount of wood and steel to make siege machinery and cast artillery. At the same time, the Hussars blocked all the roads near Constantinople. The Black Sea Fleet, led by the fleet commander Ushakov, blocked the entire Marmara Sea. They drove the warships into the Golden Horn Bay and prepared to bombard the Constantino Castle. The transport ships were also ready to transport the Norman army over and launch landing operations from the direction of the sea...

Just as the rain in Constantinople came, in another direction, Artoria's strategy in the Greek region was very successful. The cavalry crossed and quickly defeated Sutheronika. After that, Artoria left a team of thousands of people there to guard the station. Nearly 10,000 cavalry continued to move southward, towards Athens, the Greeks once and most powerful city-state.

The Roman defenders on the Greek Peninsula gathered in the city of Athens. The old, weak and disabled soldiers with less than 5,000 people. In addition, a few spontaneous Greeks organized - the number was about 2,000. In this way, the troops that were not as large as humans in both quantity and quality will soon start a battle with the Normans in the city of Athens...

However, although they were inferior in quantity and quality, they relied on the renovated Acropolis of Athens. They were still a solid city defense system to fight to a certain extent. After all, although the Normans were strong, they were all cavalry. They were not good at siege, and they did not have too many siege machinery. This gave Artoria a little a headache.

"I have to use some coercive means. But before that, I'd better try to persuade the surrender." Needless to say, the queen's persuasion is basically: You group of trash, why don't you kneel down quickly! Teach all the food and money. Otherwise, I will kill you! This is a way to be successful except for m.

However, everything needs to be processed. It is like before you do something, you have to be polite before you accept bribes, and you have to buy a car and a house before you get married. It is like Emperor Norman, and there are still very few people who want to kill the messenger without saying a word. This is a process, although it is basically useless, it is essential. It is a basic skill of a normal human being.

So, after the failure of persuasion to surrender, Artoria sneered and sent troops to surround Athens. The main force went south, plundered and conquered other areas. Since it was difficult to siege the city, then leave this hardest bone in the end. When the entire Greek region was conquered, isn’t a mere city of Athens easy to capture?

It seems that I have been with Egil for so long. Artoria has increased a lot in terms of strategic IQ and combat IQ...!
