Therefore, war was the eternal and unchanging subject of medieval Europe. This is completely correct and indisputable. At this moment, both central, eastern, western, southern, and northern Europe are in chaos. Various contradictions are messy. Countries often even have unclear water sources, unclear icons, resulting in unclear boundaries, diplomatic insults, commercial disputes... or simply want to fight, such reasons, and attack each other.

Now, no other places are mentioned, just talking about the Baltic coasts of Nordic Europe and Eastern Europe, there are N groups of contradictions at this moment. The Nordic Norman Kingdom and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in Eastern Europe: The United Kingdom has always taken the unification of Eastern Europe as its mission, and the Livonia region is exactly what the United Kingdom expects, most and most want, but never needs - either independent, or occupied by the Ross, or occupied by the Swedes, or by the damn Germans... so.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Vadislaw II tore up the covenant with Norway despite his grief and treason, and insisted on obtaining the Livornian region. This is understandable.

At least the princes and nobles and common people of the United Kingdom think so - as for other countries, what if they care about it, they are all slags. Who are we? The nobles of the highest noble alliance, own the most fertile land in Europe, the largest territory in Europe (directly governed), the most advanced political system in Europe (inexplicably everyone has a noble republic with a veto power), and the cavalry in Europe (although the Polish winged cavalry has not yet appeared at this moment). Why should we care about the ideas of those barbarians?

Just like a long time ago, the Greeks believed that Europe was all barbarians except Greece, while the Romans believed that Europe was all barbarians except Rome. The Celestials believed that the whole world was all barbarians except the Celestials - but the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania seemed not qualified.

Today, Poland and Lithuania have not reached the peak of the fourteenth to fifteenth centuries in history. However, there are many problems in history, because all members of the noble parliament have a veto system, and the kings are even chosen by the nobles through voting. Therefore, the United Kingdom is in anarchy for a long time, and the centralization is basically less than or equal to zero. No matter what kind of decree or law cannot be implemented, the whole country is in chaos like something...

Of course, the United Kingdom has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to return and can only lie down and wait for death. Today, Vadislaw II is also considered a hero, and his internal affairs and diplomacy have made great achievements. After defeating Hungary a few years ago, the king's prestige reached its peak, which greatly restricted the rights of the noble parliament. If this continues, Vadislaw II said that it is possible to change the disadvantages of the United Kingdom... But.

He chose a wrong—extremely wrong—opponent.

King Egil Scadragrimson Norman - After he defeated and conquered Sweden, the attention of European countries to him increased by another level. Although the exaggerated title of Alexander No. 2 has not been expressed yet. However, the title of the Northern European Mad Wolf, which sounds very majestic, has been spread far and wide.

But the United Kingdom doesn't care - the people of the United Kingdom have a unique value - that is, the values ​​mentioned above are all barbarians except me - since they are barbarians, they should be beaten up and surrender. How can civilized people in this world not defeat barbarians?

...Of course, if you take a step back, even if the other party is really lucky, you will win a little bit or two - that's what we're giving in to him. What's the big deal?! If you cede land and pay compensation, you will get compensation. My brother has silver. The noblest alliance is or the noblest alliance.

Under such a strange psychological effect, the morale of the United Kingdom's army was high, but Vadislaw II was at least a battle-hardened general. He had heard of Egil's deeds. So to be on the safe side, he once again drew light cavalry troops from all nomadic peoples in China - the Tatars, Lithuanians, Magyars and Cossack refugees. He then recruited knight troops from the country, and then recruited a large number of Germanic mercenaries from neighboring countries, and recruited a large number of peasant soldiers...

In this way, the United Kingdom can organize at least 50,000 troops. And even such a terrible number is still not the bottom line for the United Kingdom to mobilize. If the United Kingdom is forced into a hurry, it can recruit at least more than 100,000 troops.

After obtaining such information, Egir was speechless for a long time. He had an intuitive understanding of the capabilities of the United Kingdom in his heart - but there was a little problem here. That is, the United Kingdom itself is not without enemies. On the contrary, in central and eastern Europe, the United Kingdom is full of powerful enemies. Novgorod and Moscow in the east, the Holy Roman Empire in the west, Hungary in the south, and the Teutonic Knights in the north. So Egir believed that as long as the other party was not forced into anger, the other party would not fight against it.

In addition, Egil is the diplomatic alliance that is best at. The one that should be used most at this moment is the Teutonic Knights, a country that is no different from the Mad Dog.

However, let’s be the mad dog. Or, the mad dog is better - because it bites people harder. The Teutonic Knights, composed of Germans, are the armed regiments with the Catholic faith, are actually completely a mad dog organization. Naturally, it is impossible not to rise again and become an Eastern European power. However, it is a little difficult to achieve this goal with its own ability.

Therefore, Egil sent diplomat No. 14, and promised that the Knights' Order is currently the Grand Commander and Albresit, the Earl of Brandenburg (the last Grand Commander of the Teutonic Knights, the founder of the Kingdom of Brandenburg). If the Knights can give "strong and powerful support" to the Kingdom of Norman, then the Kingdom of Norman promised to support Albresit's rule over the entire Prussian region and be willing to transfer Vilnius' sovereignty to the Knights.

On October 7, when Egil's army was still boarding the ship in Gothic Fort in southern Sweden (ceded to Norway), the diplomat No. 14 had already taken the lead and arrived at Magdeburg, the capital of the Knights. He handed Egil's empty-mouthed covenant with red mouths and white teeth to Albresitt.

Seeing such a generous empty check, Albresit snorted: "The land promised by your Lord is now in the hands of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. You can really do such a generous act."

"How dare you, how dare you? Be polite, be polite." The diplomat No. 14 really regarded this as a good thing.

"Hmph..." Albresit hummed a lot this time, and of course the diplomat No. 14 was still unmoved: "If you want to gain the friendship of the Knights, you must first show sincerity. Weapons, food, horses, cloth... I heard that you have given Sweden a large amount of assistance?"

"Although the greedy eyes are very annoying, they are perfect." The diplomat No. 14 looked at the other party's eyes and then smiled confidently: "It is true, but please be clear: the assistance of the Norman Kingdom is not as selfless as God's blessing. And the Lord is not a cowardly and kind person. On the contrary, the Lord hates other people's deception..."

"Will he not hate cheating others?" Albresette complained in his heart. But he also knew that what the other party said was not a nonsense. Egil really hated those guys who destroyed the covenant with him - such as Scotland, Edward of Normandy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom now. So Egil beat them up. Those who were lucky were directly destroyed and those who were lucky had to cede land and pay compensation. The worst thing was the United Kingdom of Ireland-Welsh. Not only was the annexed territory, but the queen was robbed of it as the queen...

"Naturally, in the name of God, the Knights will not be untrustworthy. Besides, we have the same extreme hatred of the Poles and the Lithuanians," said Albresit.

"Thank you very much for your frankness to the Grand Commander. I will convey your request to His Majesty the King of our country as soon as possible. I believe there will be good results..."

“That’s true.”

On October 15, the Norman army landed in Riga, used the system to upgrade the city wall, build arrow towers, city defense crossbow runs, stone catapults and other objects, and collected a large number of oil and stones in the Livornia area. It seemed that they wanted to defend the city. However, they cut down wood under the city and built a wooden city gate against the city wall against the city wall. The crossbow cannons and stone catapults on the city wall can directly attack the outer edge of the city gate, forming crossfire. In addition, this city gate adopts a very strange star structure that has not been invented in Europe today. Although the project volume has increased a lot, it can form crossfire, making it easier to defend and difficult to attack.
