After some expansion, the main force under Egil's command increased to a total of 21,650 troops. In addition to the three thousand dwarf mercenaries, it was close to 25,000 troops. It included 2500 heavy cavalry, 12,000 heavy infantry, 250 assault infantry, 2500 crossbowmen, and 2,000 longbowmen. One hundred and fifty generals guards (Egil's fifty men, Artoria 100). Most of the dwarf mercenaries are one of the elite troops that the dwarf tribe is proud of, the guards of the Dwarf Secret Room. That is, the legendary dwarf super spear quadratic infantry.

In this way, such a gorgeous lineup has been established under Egil's heavy cavalry, elite infantry, assault infantry, elite long-range, spear phalanx...

Only the light cavalry is missing.

That's right, it's the light cavalry.

Thinking of this, Egil felt like he wanted orz. Although he had three races under his command, Celtic, England and Viking, the Vikings were good at heavy soldiers and tomahawks. The Celtics were good at light infantry and longbows, and the English specialized in longbows - all your sisters were not suitable for developing high-level light cavalry. This also led to the formation of the weakness of the light cavalry under Egil.

And what can good light cavalry do?

Scouts reconnaissance, roundabout encirclement, attack the flanks, pursue defeated soldiers, etc.

Of course it can also be used to fight wars.

So...

"For light cavalry, the ones outside Europe do not count. Inside Europe, plus the ones near Europe... should be the area of ​​Eastern Europe, plus Asia Minor."

On the way to York City, Egil chatted with the system elves like this.

"That's right. But if the world's strongest light cavalry should be the group on the Mongolian Plateau." The system elves answered.

“…”

"What's wrong? Why don't you talk?" the system elves asked strangely.

"Well, no, I'm just thinking about a question." Egil asked in a slightly puzzled tone.

"What's the problem?" System Jingjing became a little interested.

"You... seem to have become much more serious recently. You don't complain about me anymore." Egil thought for a moment, and then said this.

“…Are you m?”

"Oh, I couldn't help it in the end and finally complained." Egil sighed.

"...You are indeed a bastard!"

"But, after you say that, I already want a path to development in the future," said Egil.

"What? Is it a path to be the most afflicted?"

"No, how to continue the path to strengthening the empire."

"When did you become emperor?"

"After defeating Finland, he will be called emperor."

That's right, what Egir thought was that to make up for his shortcomings in light cavalry, the fastest way was to continue to develop in Scandinavia, defeat Sweden and annex Finland. Then, recruit very famous Finnish light cavalry in Finland, and further annex countries near the Baltic Sea. It is best to be able to unify the various parts of the Baltic Sea, monopolize coastal trade, and look at Eastern Europe, this famous European granary.

To achieve this goal, Egir has to face the following difficulties. First of all, he just visited Novgorod, and there was no one under his command. Gustav Adolf, who is currently a gang of heroes by the troublemakers, has been said to be one of the two heroes of the North Mainland. Although gunpowder has not been introduced to Europe during this period of time, the melee gun is even more invisible. However, famous generals are famous generals. With the news from spies, King Gustav has a strong command ability and a strong strategic vision. He is inspiring on the battlefield to fight to the death.

Anyway, it's just a strong enemy.

Next, even if Sweden can be defeated, things will not be over. Denmark, which has recovered little by little, has a deep hatred between its queen Margaret I and Egil. He is even more keen on the Scandinavia together. He will never let Egil dominate the Nordic family. He may not say that he must connect and deal with himself with Sweden.

Even in the end, he could unify the entire Nordic Europe. Can he unify the Baltic Sea? I'm afraid he can't. After guidance from the system elves, Egir has already considered the various countries surrounding the Baltic Sea. Nordics are not counted. There are Novgorod, who has just been crippled by Sweden, the Teutonic Knights, which are weak and the west, and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, which occupy the dominant trend of Eastern Europe and is becoming increasingly powerful. Among these three, Novgorod has developed commercial business and has strong cavalry. The Teutonic Knights are brave and fierce, and the cavalry is strong. The United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is as strong as the sun rises, and the cavalry is strong.

——Why are all powerful cavalry forces?! Egil couldn't help but complain.

"Because it is Eastern Europe, there are many plains and terrain in Eastern Europe. There are many cavalry stretching out. There are many water and grass, and there are many herdsmen. That's it."

“…Okay, keep talking.”

"This matter is considered difficult." The system elves continued: "Even if you can conquer all these countries, then you still have to fight. If you want to completely control the entire Baltic coast, the Pomeranian region must be occupied. The Pomeranian region is the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Although this empire was said to be neither sacred nor Roman nor empire in later generations. However, its strength is strong one by one. Currently, the legendary Elector of Saxony Otto I. The legendary Eternal Emperor—"

"——The Emperor of the Eternal Eternal is Qin Shihuang." Egil complained.

"The sea of ​​the eternal emperors is here. Listen to me first." The system elves seemed quite dissatisfied with Egil's interruption.

"I said that Otto I was the emperor of the ages because he was the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire." The system elves said: "In your previous life, this emperor fought south and north, fought Hungary against Bavaria, Bavaria, and then fought Italy, fought Ross after Italy, and then fought Ross after fighting Ross. Finally, he received the crown of the pope and called the Roman emperor, and his empire was the Holy Roman Empire."

"It seems like Italy has been beaten twice."

"Because it deserves a beating - this is not the point." The system elves continued: "This guy now controls the entire German German region in this world. He occupies almost half of the land of the entire Holy Roman Empire. The other three electorates sometimes even have to unite to compete with it. Therefore, some people say that he is the hottest candidate for the Holy Roman Emperor."

"No, I think he will eventually be destroyed by others. Just because he occupies half of the land." Egil continued to complain.

"It's up to you. In short, you just need to know that Otto I was a very arrogant person, and that he now controls Pomerania. He is not the kind of person who says: Emperor, can you give me Pomerania? You will willingly give that land to you. That is to say...be prepared for the battle."

"I heard what you said, it seems that I will beat most of the kings in Europe before I can unify the Baltic coast." Egil thought of this and was fascinated by leisurely.

"Yes, I'll spend your whole life working towards this direction." The system elf said, not knowing whether to cheer up or deflate.

"It won't last a lifetime. It only takes a few years...well, more than ten years, almost... maybe... maybe..." Speaking of this, Egil was a little uncertain. After all, his opponents are very outstanding in terms of quantity and quality. It would be fake to say that he is not in the form of stage fright.

At this time, the system prompt sound suddenly rang. The system that has not released a task for a long time has released a long time ago.

"Build the Baltic hegemony: work hard, Sao Nian, Alexander is looking at you! Mission goal: control all the lands around the Baltic Sea. Including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Novgorod, the Baltic Three Kingdoms, the Teutonic Knights, and the Holy Roman Empire. Mission Reward 1: Crown as the Emperor; Mission Reward 2: 200,000 points; Mission Reward 3: Unlock the next level of buildings."

It's really... Seeing these things that are invisible and intangible, Egil couldn't help but burst into tears: "By the way, Alexander died young, and the entire empire fell apart after that? He was looking at me as a god, is it curse? Is it curse?!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the final result of you without children is like Alexander." The system elves pointed out this very sharply.

...

orz.

Egil, who hates children (actually, he is also a child), feels that it is better to have an heir for the first time.

"Do you want to find a mistress or something? Have one or two illegitimate children?" Egil had this idea in an instant. Then.

"Lie, there is nothing inside..." A certain King Arthur, wearing black cursed armor and holding a hatchet, looked at the mistress who was broken by the intestines and ignored the six-month-old embryo, and comforted himself. Then he turned his hand and chopped down Egil's head and held it in his arms.

"In this way, we can be together forever."

niceboat

Then Egil shivered all over, and the little ambition was instantly wiped out.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Artoria looked at her husband crying and laughing, as if she was in a state of snoring, and couldn't help asking like this.
