Chapter 38 The Conqueror's Show
On December 1, 1014 AD, when General Wende had tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people were trapped in Kazan and asked for help. When General Ethiopia, the Moors and the Ilhanate were attacked from three sides by Ethiopia, the Moors and the Ilhanate, the Norman Emperor was performing his coronation and marriage ceremony on the ruins of the Constantine Grand Palace.
After the city was broken, Sergius II, the current Orthodox Patriarch, rebuked the Norman invaders with great backbone, and then the emperor cut his head down as a ball according to the backbone enemy's treatment. After that, Egil appointed another universal patriarch. He was a coward who hid in the cesspool for life after the arrival of the Norman army. However, it was precisely because of Chapter 38.
The Conqueror's show-off was timid. That's why Egil chose this guy. After all, in the ignorant Middle Ages, religion was one of the essential embellishments of imperial power. The wedding between the emperor and the empress required a host who was worth enough.
That's it. The emperor sent his army to gather everyone in Constantinople in the square outside the ruins of the Grand Palace. The dense surroundings were scattered. The guests who were forced to smile by the butcher knife of the Norman soldiers had to force themselves to laugh, and turn themselves into one of the decorations of the wedding with a smile that was even worse than crying, and auspicious words that were insincere and insincere.
Then there was the newcomer. First, last night, she was carefully accompanied by Artoria for drinking at night. At least she served her, or because she got drunk so that he would not make trouble. The emperor was still an absolute guardian armor. He hanged a blade of life on his waist. This armor was the same as the time he fought with the Mongols before. After the rest of the best armor masters and dyers and artists, the paintings and patterns were completely renewed. Eguir looked very energetic.
Aside Egil, there is Liliannu wearing a big red wedding dress and holding a few bouquets of red roses. Chapter 38 of Marriage.
The Conqueror's flaunt yarn was exchanged by Egil from the system. The same is true for roses. In November, Constantinople, although it has a Mediterranean climate, roses are still rare. What's more, these flowers are the same as those just picked. When others saw them, they thought the emperor was so arrogant and extravagant, and sent them to him day and night.
One of these two men was wearing armor, while the other was wearing a full set of dresses. The man was very heroic and the woman was very beautiful. But in the eyes of the people of Constantinople, this "uniform match" showed another meaning. The Aigel, who was covered in armor and sabres, wasn't it a symbol of the Norman Empire's military conquest? And Lilianu, who was led by his side, walked step by step along the red carpet towards the ruins of the Grand Palace. Naturally, it symbolized the Eastern Roman Empire that was government-led.
The Greeks were all very smart, philosophical and emotional creatures. At this moment, many philosophers and literati couldn't help crying after seeing this scene. Then, these people were pulled out of the crowd by the Norman soldiers and chopped off their heads without mercy.
"Ah--" Seeing this scene, Liliannu, who was tortured by the terrible real world and was a little numb, reacted at this moment, and the princess's temper came to her senses. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Egil. She stopped in the middle of the red carpet, staring at the mad emperor with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" The emperor's tone was filled with pride: "Today is a good day for me and I. Look at those people who are crying. Is there anything wrong with killing them? Is there something wrong with it?!" The one in front of them said to Liliannu, but the other in the latter was the emperor who turned around and said loudly to the Greeks around who dared not speak out.
Under the threat of the Normans' butcher knife, the Greeks reluctantly agreed in a low voice: "Yes", "Yes".
"Hit louder! I can't hear it! Are the words spoken by the people of Constantinople not as big as I am alone? Then there is nothing more meaningful about the existence of the people. Isn't it?" the emperor said in a angrily manner. It indeed surpassed the reluctance of thousands of people before.
Still under the threat of the butcher knife, the Greeks raised their volume and shouted loudly: "Yes!" "That's it!" and so on.
"Speak louder! Let me be happy with something nice!" Egil laughed more and more happily. After hearing his speech, the tens of thousands of Norman troops who were monitoring these Greeks also repeated Egil's words loudly: "Say some good things and make the Lord happy! Let me be louder!"
"Long live Emperor Egil!"
"Speak louder!"
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil!!"
"Speak louder!!"
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil"
"Didn't you have enough food after shouting louder?!"
The Greeks muttered in their hearts: "Isn't it just that I didn't have enough food... The food was stolen by the Normans. Every day, we were only two taels of black bread mixed with wood chips and sand... I naturally didn't have the strength to shout so loudly at this moment."
However, they just dared to think about it in their hearts. The person who really dared to speak out had been killed by the Normans in the turmoil before this.
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil!!"
The loud and loud shouts were shouted out from the tens of thousands of Greeks in the venue. If you don’t know the truth at first, you might think that this Conqueror Emperor is very likable.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Long live, who was insincere when he heard this, but had to shout loudly. Egil's evil taste was greatly satisfied for a moment. He burst into laughter. In this way, amid the Greeks' long live sounds like tsunamis and Egil's crazy laughter, the wedding had unknowingly become the stage for Emperor Norman alone. The entire Constantinople and the entire Greek civilization turned with the baton of this so-called "barbarian".
This process lasted for about half an hour. Every person who shouted hoarsely or had no strength to stop shouting was pulled out by the Norman soldiers watching next to him and killed him on the spot, making the so-called bloody smell of the so-called wedding even stronger.
In this way, without Egil's permission, no Greek dared to stop cheering. Even if his throat was almost broken, he would not dare to. Some people were exhausted and fell to the ground as they shouted. However, the people around him dared not care. The warm shouts lasted for half an hour. Only then did Egil stop laughing with satisfaction. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, don't do this. I will feel embarrassed if you are so enthusiastic...ah hahahaha..."
Having said this, Egil couldn't help laughing wildly again.
Next to Egil, the former Eastern Roman Empress and the current Norman Empire's quasi-monarch Liliannu had already shed tears in abruptly. She was shaking amid such slogans like roaring mountains and seas, and almost fell to the ground. However, Egil was quick-witted and immediately hugged her waist and held Liliannu in her arms.
"Why do you humiliate me so much?!" Liliannu struggled violently in Egil's arms. She cried and kicked Egil's body. Of course, this was like tickling for Emperor Norman wearing the armor of the Absolute Guardian. It didn't feel at all.
"Because I love you," Egil said naturally. In return, Liliannu's incredible eyes.
"Because...love me?" Liliannu's brain was in chaos at that time. He had no idea what to say. In fact, after hearing Egil's shocking confession, the Greeks and Norman soldiers around him were also stunned. If this tyrant said how cruel or inhuman or utilitarian it was, then these people would accept it. But Egil actually said "love" an answer that is irrelevant to war, siege, robbery and enslavement in any case, which makes people feel unacceptable.
"That's right, I love Je. So I defeated Je's army, broke Je's city, and grabbed Je's hand. In order to prevent Je from leaving me, I let Je's country completely destroy them. There is no possibility of revival. Is there any problem?"
The problem was big. But at that time, Liliannu, who heard Egil say this, completely lost the ability to think. She just stared at Egil blankly, let Egil hold her hand and walked step by step towards the other side of the red carpet, the equally forced smile of the Orthodox Patriarch. At this time, the queen really didn't know what to do. Should she be moved by Egil's infatuation and warm love? Or should she shout: "Are you an idiot?" She grabbed the saber hanging around Egil's waist and let him experiment with the problem that had troubled him for a long time: Is it better if his armor or his saber sharper?
But in the end, Liliannu did not do anything. She just let Egil hold her hand stupidly. The red carpet that was dozens of meters long quickly reached the end. After the universal Patriarch ended up marrying Egil and Liliannu, he also conferred Egil as "the emperor of all Greeks and Romans". Then he took the crown that originally belonged to Liliannu and prepared to wear it on Egil's head.
Then, Egil snatched the crown, turned around, and put it on Liliannu's head...
"Remember, the one I want to marry is the Queen Liliannu of Eastern Rome." Egil continued to laugh and hug Liliannu in the form of a princess hug. He walked towards his barracks...
