The Norman Empire's expansion in the Near East came to an end. The empire organized the newly acquired territories into three new provinces. The province of Jerusalem with Jerusalem as its capital, the province of Syria with Damascus as its capital, and the province of Mesopotamia with Baghdad as its capital.

As for the barren and deserted Arabian Peninsula, because of its vast territory, sparse population, and strong people, it is the base camp of Islam. There is no product. Therefore, the empire did not set up a province here, but managed it with a military control system.

The Hussars of the Empire gathered all the Arab tribes they could find together for convenience of supervision. The Empire forced them to pay taxes and perform labor service on the head, and destroyed mosques and massacre Islamic Imams to cut off their religious heritage.

The original holy city of Mecca was destroyed by the Hussars. The magnificent forbidden temple was demolished, and the Kerbai Temple was beaten into powder by the Normans and then sprinkled in the desert. In order to destroy the faith of Islamic believers, the precious Islamic sacred objects and the sacred Quran were all burned - no matter how exquisite the objects were. From the Prophets of the Prophets to the Four Orthodox Caliphs, the glorious civilization of Islam was destroyed.

The Muslims cried loudly at the holy objects destroyed by the Normans. Some fainted, and some even died sadly. Some even rushed over crazily, trying to stop the Normans' blasphemy behavior and trying to rescue one or two scriptures.

However, in the end, they all failed. They were killed mercilessly by the Norman Hussars. All those who bravely stood up and looked at them with hatred were pulled out and their heads were cut off. Fear, fear, and fear.

The Normans had to create fear here. The rule they would implement here also relies on fear. The Empire slaughtered all those who had a rebellious heart, leaving only a coward like a trembling and a lamb-like coward. Anyway, the Empire did not expect this land to provide itself with any benefits, as long as it did not cause trouble.

After that, the negotiations between the empire and the Persians ended successfully. The Persians who had just experienced the rule of the Mongols, civil strife, and the Black Death were now seriously injured. They still had the courage to deal with an Ilkhanate, which had lost all its main force. However, they would not dare to lend them ten courages to the Norman Empire.

Emperor Darius was very wise and accepted the empire's request for alliance. He agreed to the empire's approval of trade, cultural exchanges, etc. when demarcating the borders between the two countries.

In this way, the so-called Silk Road in the southern border of the empire has been restored to smooth flow. Of course, this year's trade is not only fast, but also has an amazing transportation volume. From the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, from the Red Sea to India to South China and East Asia, this Silk Road has been open for many years. The merchants who have been in the forefront of the fast and slow and have low cargo volumes are simply a waste of money. Therefore, the opening of this road is nothing more than nothing.

The battle against the Ilkhanate came to an end. The empire once again expanded its territory and made great profits. On the other hand, the empire's battle against the Mongols and Yuan dynasties was in full swing.

Compared with the gradually Islamized Il Khanate, the strength of the Yuan Dynasty was not only stronger. Even though Egil was full of confidence, he shouted that he had knocked down his grandfather back then. He was afraid that his grandson would not succeed? This took advantage of his seniority. But he still had a hundred and twenty cautions in his heart.

Speaking of which, there are indeed many talents in the Mongol Yuan. Genghis Khan's three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, and his civil and military achievements were rare in all dynasties and even in world history. Temujin. His four sons, Shuchi, Chagatai, Ogedei and Torre, Mengge, Badu, Guiyu, Hulagu, and Kublai Khan, all of whom were top rulers and military geniuses. The excellent bloodline of the Golden Family guaranteed the Mongolian Empire's dominant position in the Eurasian continent for a hundred years.

As for the third generation leader of the Golden Family, Kublai Khan in history cannot be overestimated.

With this mentality, Emperor Norman led an army of 700,000 to leave the Moscow absolute defense circle. After the army was on the Ross Grassland, he did not dare to launch any large-scale battles. Instead, he desperately sent Rangers, Hussars, various light cavalry and nomadic cavalry, endless harassment, reconnaissance and intelligence collection.

Even people like Egil must be cautious when facing Kublai Khan. They will not take action without absolute certainty.

However, Egil thought so, isn't Kublai Khan the same? If Egil was just careful about him, then Kublai Khan was cautious about Egil and was also a little afraid.

When the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty heard about the peerless evil spirit who killed millions of Mongolian troops in the outskirts of Moscow, he brought a lot more troops than him and appeared on the Ross Grassland. He almost didn't mention the words "I've been in a long time since I was old, and the sentence: "If it doesn't work, we'd better leave."

In the battle of the Moscow Absolute Defense Circle, Emperor Egil was seeking life in his death and attacking a million troops alone (and still ignore the 100 guard knights and 4,000 berserkers), the current Yuan Shizu n was assigned to the flanks of the Mongolian army, so he could not see such an unprecedented scene. Of course, it was also a blessing that he did not see it. Otherwise, it would be a big deal to sit here.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't know what happened, so he ran away with the defeated soldiers in a confused manner. However, in the next battle, the battle on the outskirts of Moscow, a battle between the two armies head-on. Kublai could see clearly throughout the whole process. He saw how the Mongolian cavalry fell under the arrows of the Normans like a spear and a rainstorm. He saw the two elite troops that Mongolia was proud of, the Qixue army and the Proton Army were like three-year-old children, and were powerlessly crushed by the other side.

It can be said that after that battle, Egil Skadragrimsson was mentioned. None of the Mongol Yuan generals here were afraid of it. After that, the newly promoted Mongolian young generals, or the Han generals brought to the Han area in the Central Plains, were trembling in their hearts after hearing about the emperor's deeds.

Being timid before fighting is not a good sign...
