Today I am going to go out to burn people, so I updated two times.

On June 10, 1002, the Duke of Burgundy Charles boldly declared war on the Norman Kingdom first. The reason was naturally ready-made. That is, to maintain the rule of France and expel outsiders.

As a result, the Principality of Burgundy mobilized a total of 1,400 knights, including the 600 Knights of the Golden Wool Knights, and a total of nearly 4,000 Iron Cavalry. The famous Swiss mercenaries from Switzerland - a total of 5,000. As well as the power of the Principality of Burgundy itself, nearly 50,000 troops gathered. Half of Burgundy, holding the Burgundy half was a white-backed red eagle, and the other half was a white-backed white irises flag (suggesting that they were French vassals, and Burgundy vassals). They advanced towards the Duke of Norman like a mountain torrent.

At the same time, there are unreliable news that if the Principality of Burgundy can defeat the Norman Kingdom this time and obtain the territory of Normandy, then a great power will support his official independence and claim the throne and establish the legendary Burgundy Kingdom.

On June 11, 1002 AD, after receiving the news, France's nominal king Philip II did his best to concentrate all the troops he could concentrate - and received strong assistance from Edward IV, Duke of Aquitaine (to be dependent on the debt). He concentrated a total of 3,700 cavalry, including six hundred kings directly under the military police knights, including more than 10,000 Italian mercenaries, and nearly 60,000 troops. He also advanced towards Normandy. Philip II is also in a very anxious mood now. He must pacify Normandy before Charles, in order to show his ability, promote the authority of the French king, and stop the separatist forces in the country.

At the same time, under pressure, Aaron IV, Duke of Brittany, also declared war on the Norman Kingdom, but did not send troops, but instead strengthened the alert in his own territory. It must have been to prevent a certain king from rushing to beat the rabbit and taking him to the pot.

In this way, the entire French Kingdom was united in a rare manner, with eight thousand cavalry and one hundred thousand troops advancing towards the Duke of Normandy. Such a terrifying number made General Lufos, who was guarding the castle of Normandy, feel great pressure. The letters for help flew towards Egil at a speed of twenty letters a day. Until the spy under his command announced a little helplessly: "The pigeon has been used up." This was the end.

In short, the first attack of the anti-Norman League across Europe, unknowingly, was established through secret connections and tacit hints, at least in terms of momentum.

"A hundred thousand army?! Are your subordinates 'beat'?! The gathering of the hundred thousand army did not get any news in advance?!"

So Egil got angry. Another set of Oriental porcelain tea set worth hundreds of gold coins, as well as the hot tea made from the tea powder transported from the East, threw it towards Nemulis. The spy leader who stood like a flagpole lowered his head and didn't even dare to move. He was smashed and swollen at the forehead. The hot tea flowed down his head, which was so painful that he didn't dare to speak.

"roll!"

Nemulis was granted a general amnesty and knelt down on one knee, but fragments of porcelain on the ground stabbed into the flesh of his thighs. Then Ju limped and ran away.

"Will you just be lame all of a sudden? Then I'm losing money?" Egil murmured to himself. Then he sighed, turned around and sat on the chair next to him, then turned on the system and adjusted to the interface of the world map - of course, most of North and South America, Black Africa and East Asia are black now. Only places such as Europe, Near East, Middle East and North Africa are marked.

Above, the texts of the two countries France and Burgundy are shown in red, proving that these two countries are already in war with themselves. In addition to this country, Sweden is also marked in red. However, Moscow and Novgorod are slightly different, and are marked in orange. It means that they have been in war, but there is no clear declaration of war.

"A wretched country." Egil muttered, then continued to look elsewhere.

Brittany's words meant to be orange, but because war had been declared but there was no hostility. Egil thought for a moment and thought he should have a good talk with Arran IV. It would be better if he could be pulled into the sacred Norman camp of light, justice and sacredness.

In addition, Scotland, Lithuania, Saxony, and all Islamic countries to the south are marked in special yellow fonts throughout the map.

Those Islamic countries can be ignored for the time being - probably all Catholic countries are hostile. So Egil is very calm.

Then, Scotland - perhaps there will be some action after John leads his army to support Normandy. But it should not be big.

Lithuania...

Well, it's probably what happened these days.

And Saxony.

Egil thought for a moment and seemed to have not done anything that made Otto I extremely angry. Even when dealing with the incident in Denmark, the two of them had a not very pleasant cooperation.

"Is it for checks and balances? Because I have expanded too fast recently?" Egil thought for a moment, and probably this is the only reason.

After seeing the situation in the enemy and us, Egil made a decisive decision: to advance east and defend west, concentrate all his strength to destroy Sweden and repel the Ross. Before that, he adopted a garrison in Normandy: sending Celtic troops, and implementing local mobilization in the British Isles, and then ordering John to lead most of the British garrison troops to provide assistance. In this way, in Normandy, he could gather 30,000 to 40,000 troops, but insufficient offense, but sufficient defense. And Scotland... With Hadrian's Wall, as long as two to three thousand troops are left to guard, there is no problem.

The key point is also the English nobles. Although Egil thought he had given them great benefits and showed his ability and the strong strength of the Norman Kingdom, these bad-minded nobles still had some restlessness and plotted to overthrow Egil's rule on the British Isles.

It seems that in the previous battle with Poland, the nobles did not suffer enough casualties. As expected, all these damn maggots were still better off.

Then, just treat them as cannon fodder and throw them into Normandy to fight the French.

Then, the last and most critical issue.

Just as John said before, who will do this army of 30,000 people to rule?

With such confusion, Egil walked to Artoria, who was struggling to sit outside while restoring training.

"Hani, do you think Lufos and John are more suitable for being the boss?" Egil asked casually.

"Who are they?" Artoria stopped cutting the mannequin and then turned around and asked.

"...I didn't say it." Egil had a little headache. Although the two were in a rank-level relationship, because England could mobilize more troops, it would be better for John to be the head coach... No, no, Lufos was also a local tyrant, and if reinforcements were put on his head, they would definitely be dissatisfied. Maybe it would cause trouble. It's really damn, it's very difficult to do such a thing.

"If it's okay, call me for lunch." Artoria turned around and prepared to continue exercising.

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." Egil knew that mobilizing the Celtics would never be possible without his wife's help, so he said it: "That's it. The situation there is a little dangerous. Nearly 100,000 troops from France and Burgundy are approaching. We need to mobilize the forces of England and Celtics. I will write a letter later. If you see if there is no problem, just press a handprint."

"...Oh, then, who is the right person for those two guys you asked before? Are you talking about the army of more than 30,000 people to defend Normandy?" Artoria seemed to be quite interested in this matter.

"That's right..." Egil had a little bad premonition: "Hey hey hey, Hani, you don't want to do this, right?!"

"Yes. Why, do you think I can't do it - you forgot who brought you back then-"

"—Okay, okay, okay, before that, I suppressed you completely. In the end, the turnaround was because your force was relatively high. Now, you are basically not much different from the waste when you fight with others.

“—Who are you talking about the waste?!”

"—I'm a waste, am I not good enough——Anyway, you're in a bad state now, so, it's better to be a little bit——”

"—I will never be better in my life, you will be satisfied, right?"

For a moment, Artoria suddenly asked an extremely sharp question.

"To be honest, that's true." Egil answered very directly. Then he frightened away the people who had already started to gather and planned to watch the fun, and pulled Artoria, who was a little depressed, into his tent.

"Okay, Hani, what happened before was that I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?" Because Artoria's current condition is indeed because of her own fault, Egil is a little guilty.

"Then can I go to Normandy to command?" Artoria asked.

"That... I really can't bear to bear it. Look how dangerous it is on the battlefield. It's both a knife and a gun. How can I survive if you make a big deal of two or two shorts?"
