Chapter 18 It feels bad to be threatened
it's over.
Egil looked at the last batch of uninhabited corpses shot by crossbows, and felt a little moved.
It's indeed over.
The glory of the Holy Roman Empire or something.
When the guard knight asked him how to deal with Frederick's body, Egil thought about it for a moment and then ordered: "Get burial well."
Frederick Barbarossa, a hero, walked his lifelong path in this way.
"I hope I won't be like him." Egil looked at the buried shovels and placed Frederick's coffin, and couldn't help but think: "Although real warriors like to die in battle on the battlefield, I think I still die in chuáng, amid the crying sounds of my wife and children. This is more appropriate."
When you think of your wife and children, you will think of Artoria. Speaking of which, Egil and she haven't met for a while. Although nothing can really relieve lovesickness, the interval between them is sometimes even as long as one month, which is naturally even worse.
So I miss her very much. I really want to see her. When I think of her, I feel that it is not possible………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
That's it. After a series of things like counting the trophy, prisoners of war, re-entering the army, and treating the wounded, Egil announced loudly to his army: "Now, we can go home!"
A simple sentence made the Norman army cheer. After all, the soldiers had been fighting continuously for more than a year and had consumed a lot of energy. The regular and professional troops were slightly better. However, those informal and temporary recruited troops had all developed a serious homesickness. If Egil had not suppressed his prestige and the army had been winning battles. The trophy was quite expensive, there would have been deserters in the army.
However, all this could finally be over. Although there was the obstacle between the Norman Empire and Egil's army, Albrecht of Brandenburg. However, Egil did not feel that this man had only more than 10,000 troops in his hand, and most of them were the hard-working dukes of peasants and soldiers, and had the courage to stop him. The smartest and most correct way should be to open the city and surrender directly. Egil could still give him some leftover soup.
In the end, Albrecht did so. After learning that his emperor was defeated and Norman's 80,000 troops (mercenaries have been disbanded) were coming to Brandenburg, Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his feelings: "The emperor comes first... my fortune has been saved." It seems that he did not have to be massacred by Queen Norman, which made the Duke quite satisfied. He also made a quick decision to leave the city and surrender.
As for the duke who enjoyed prestige and power in North Germany, Egil did not make too much embarrassment. He directly asked him to disband his peasant soldiers and feudal knights, leaving only a garrison force of one thousand people. Then he entered Brandenburg City openly and selected the villa of the richest merchants in the local area as a temporary palace to live there.
At this point, the road to return to China became smooth. After countless large-scale operations and successfully survived, the soldiers who had experienced a lot of emotion. After obtaining Egil's permission, they began to organize spontaneously and headed north to Jutland Peninsula, or Bo Melania. There, they took ships back to England, Scandinavia, or by land, along the already built transportation road from Jutland Peninsula to Nova Scandinavia, to Prussia or Livornia. In short, these people left. They left with a large amount of spoils and endless topics of talk for three days and three nights.
Brandenburg, or Egil, now only about 37,000 regular troops are left. This also makes other countries that have received the news breath a little relieved.
"It seems that this savage from the North doesn't want to fight anymore. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
For example, after receiving the news, King Philip II of France was very happy to talk to himself. After that, he ate a lot of dinner and opened several bottles of new wine this year. Those who had the same idea as him were now in Hesse, fearing that he would be the next target to be destroyed, in the Pope in Rome. Even the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula believed that Egil could be calm for a while, which was a good thing for the Christ world.
But in Munich, the Holy Roman Empire army, which is still in a hostile relationship with Egil, has slightly changed its taste...
As Frederick's important supporter, General Tilly felt as if he had lost his parents after hearing the death of the Lord and was in a state of disgrace.
But he is a mercenary general. His relationship with Frederick is also the relationship between the employer and the mercenary. Now that the employer is dead, the obligation of being a mercenary has disappeared. Even if he wants to take revenge, he cannot afford the employment costs of the tens of thousands of mercenaries.
Others, including Henry, who now claims to be the Duke of Bavaria without authorization, and Albert II, the Duke of Austria who was eager to hold Frederick's letter of commitment and declared himself the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (in order to distinguish the Elector of Brandenburg, he switched to English translation, and the translation method was really useful), neither of them wanted to continue fighting with Egil.
"If according to what the guy said, his revenge was only targeting Frederick's family, then he was now satisfied. Negotiate. North Saxony, the barren and rotten land, he would give it to him if he wanted it." Albert II, who had completely regarded himself as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, announced this in the military meeting. Henry, who seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with him, nodded and agreed with his words.
Immediately afterwards, the two people turned around and looked at the other one, who had been vaguely squeezed out of the decision-making level, but still had tens of thousands of mercenaries, such a powerful military force.
General Tilly raised his hand tremblingly, finally lowered his head weakly, lowered his head, and said, "...Nose, let's do it." After that, he stood up and walked out with a hunched over. This was the last time the old general appeared in a large historical event. After that, the old general disbanded his mercenary troops and distributed decades of savings to the mercenaries.
And thanked these soldiers repeatedly, and then left Munich sadly.
After that, there was no record of this general in history. Some people said that after leaving Munich, he encountered a robber, and was eventually hung on the side of the road, and his clothes and money were all taken away.
Some people also say that he returned to Iberia with the few savings left, bought some land in the countryside and spent the last little time in his later years safely. But it doesn’t matter. There are so many scenes for supporting roles and can get a safe retreat, which is not bad. The real thing that attracts people is still the high-sounding emperors and generals on the stage. They are the protagonists.
After spending three days in Brandenburg safely, Egil began to get busy again. The intelligence system was too complete and it seemed that it was not a good thing. Because the amount of information obtained was too large, it was very time-consuming and laborious to analyze. Fortunately, Egil was still a diligent emperor. After diving into a lot of information, he quickly analyzed it: the Holy Roman Empire's request for peace talks was 80% true.
However, after a few days, Egil was angry with another news: it was the information given by the intelligence system of the Pope: the remnants of the Hohenstaufen family, the Crown Prince Henry fled to Rome. After considering its own interests, the Roman Catholic also agreed to provide him with estimation. And he sent an envoy very arrogantly and arrogantly to order Egil to stop any hostilities with the Holy Roman Empire. Otherwise, Egil would be dismissed from the church.
"That's fucking!"
After hearing this news, Egil locked himself in the room, slapped the table and smashed the stool and got angry for a long time.
"I have no heart and no idea what Ende is! I just saved your life!
I just saved your lives!!! You treat your life like this? OK! I will never care about your life or death in the future! They are all bastards!!!”
Just like this, Egil opened the door again and saw a circle of people around him, including the guard knight, the archbishop, the intelligence officer, and the scribe Talleyrand. These people were all looking at their emperor anxiously.
"What do you see?! Do whatever you should do! Didn't you hear it?!"
So the group of people scrambled to disappear.
"It's so damn." Egil leaned against the door frame, closed his eyes and rubbed the somewhat swollen sun, and then muttered in a low voice.
"I told you before, if you choose the Nordic God-type belief, there will be no more things now." At this time, Aurora's voice appeared in Egil's mind again.
"Okay, don't mention this kind of thing again, okay?" Egil said in a bad mood.
"So what are you going to do?" "Anyway, I was going to sign a peace treaty with the Holy Roman Empire.

"Oh? Then why are you so angry?" Aurora continued.
