He only distributed some troops to defend the fortress along the Suez Canal. The cavalry patrolled the newly built stone paving road between Alexander and Cairo. In addition, he asked the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet to assist in the defense of Alexander and transported enough materials and food to come in. Because in the chaotic and resistant Egyptian region, he could not obtain enough supplies.

Under such circumstances, General Ess could only ensure that such a small area was barely stable. As for the rest of Lower Egypt, they could only be occupied by the rioters and the Moors.

During this period, General Ershi wrote several letters of request for help to Emperor Norman. He reported in detail what happened here. He hoped that the emperor could give him an idea. It would be even better if he could give him some reinforcements. However, at that time, Egil was fighting desperately to attack Constantinople. So he did not give him any troops. He just wrote back to him and encouraged him to fight. He agreed to his strategy of sticking to the important cities in Egypt now. He also assured him that after the Constantinople matter was settled, he began to take care of the Egyptian region.

So time went on to November 1014, when the Norman army won the victory and triumphant.

Egil's army returned to Krakow. After the fall of Constantinople, Athens surrendered without fighting. The entire Balkan Peninsula and countless islands on the Aegean Sea, including Rhodes, which had an extremely important strategic location, all became the new territory of the Norman Empire.

When conquering these islands, the empire encountered a little obstacle. The Greeks from the Anatolian region, the resistance of these sad fallen nations.

On the eve of the Norman Empire's complete occupation of Constantinople, a group of desperate Greeks hung a small boat from the walls east of Constantinople with a rope. After hardships and obstacles, they fled to the Anatolian region. In Nicea, the most important city in the Asian territory of the Eastern Roman Empire.

One of them, the son-in-law of the former emperor of Eastern Rome, Theodore Lascalis, was promoted to be emperor. They, as well as the Eastern Rome's troops in Asia and the people who refused to recognize the current position of Emperor Lili Annu. They declared that they were the orthodox successors of Rome. Theodore I was crowned the emperor of the Nesian Empire and announced that they would fight the Normans to the end.

However, for the time being, Emperor Norman did not include Anatolia in his strategy. After capturing a large number of islands on the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, completing the encirclement of the new Nicean Empire, or the remaining Eastern Rome, and firmly grasping the strategic initiative in his own hands, Egil did not make any further moves.

Therefore, first of all, the opponent faced by the Nicean Empire was not the Normans who had a deep blood hatred with them. Instead, the Turks who had recovered their vitality and were ready to continue to expand to the West.

Suleiman was a great master of his generation. After quickly quelling the domestic rebellion, he argued with reason and used political, military and diplomatic means to correct his relationship with the Mongols or the Ilkhanate, which improved the original status of a vassal state. The Ilkhanate is now busy conquering Egypt, so he can't take care of them for the time being. So after weighing the pros and cons, Hulagu exempted the other party from his high tribute.

So, after several years of rest and recuperation, Türkiye gradually regained its strength. So another round of war to expand to the West began.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Egir. Egir is now betting on the Kazan region. He is ready. After a little rest in Krakow, he will mobilize again nationwide. He personally led the army to Kazan and scored another victory with the Mongols.

Under such circumstances, the reinforcements originally promised to General Ershi were naturally unable to reach them. However, the emperor would not lose the general's general. A large number of artillery passed through the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea Fleet continued to transport to the Egyptian region to consolidate the local defense. Since it is not possible to draw enough troops to attack for the time being, at least there should be no loopholes in defense issues. The same is true for the same.

With sufficient supplies, a large number of artillery, and the order of Emperor Norman, "Preserve the front line of the Supis Canal. If you have no mistakes, you will be rewarded." General Ershi also felt at ease. He checked posts every day to consolidate defense and calm the morale of the army. For a moment, the three armies could not do anything to him. The Egyptian provinces showed a strange state of balance.

The Il Khanate soldiers adhered to the Mongol tactics and were extremely fierce. In addition, Hulagumucheng formed a large number of fanatical warriors from Muslims and elite cavalry of Arab tribes. Therefore, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. However, a Suez Canal made their advantage disappear. The Norman army built a fort on the south bank of the canal to strictly protect it. There are two military ports in the Eastern Mediterranean at both ends of the canal. When necessary, the Norman Eastern Mediterranean fleet could directly enter the canal to fight.

The navy has always been the shortcoming of the Mongols in the East. The Yuan Empire, which inherited the Central Plains heritage, was slightly better, but the Il Khanate naval capabilities in the Middle East were basically zero. Although the Middle East Muslim shipbuilding technology they inherited was not bad. However, from the Fourth Crusade to the present, the Near East has long been prosperous. With the Normans completely controlling the Mediterranean, it is really difficult to build a strong navy.

Then there is the Moorish army under Arslan. These vicious desert herders riding camels and veiled combat effectiveness is indeed good. However, the North Africa region is deserted. They do not have the ability to transport seas, so they can only transport supplies by land in North Africa and recruit on-site. So their lives are also very hard. The Moors, who lack siege, suddenly felt very stressed when facing the castle in Alexandria and the Norman warships patrolling the coast.

As for the Ethiopian army, there is no need to mention a group of black African indigenous people. Their soil is lost. Whether it is equipment, training level and combat effectiveness, they are behind the world for a hundred years. Their limit is that they have annexed Upper Egypt with their number and geographical advantages. As for Lower Egypt, they are powerless. The Muslim mobs there are the banner of Egypt's Fatima Dynasty. They don't even miss these scum from Black Africa...

In this way, it was December 1014 AD. When Emperor Norman and his army returned to Krakow, the situation in Egypt still did not change much."
