After meeting with the Celtic Army... Egil and Artoria were not busy with intimacy. After all, it was a war period and the matter was important. So the couple greeted a little and went to the tent to discuss the current situation. Although they learned from the carrier pigeon that the Celtic Army had fought with the coalition forces, Egil still asked Artoria in detail about the situation of her fighting against the Centaurs and the Kumens that day.

"Those nomads are all garbage. They have not received formal training at all, have no discipline, and are poorly equipped. But those centaurs must be careful, they are indeed very powerful opponents." So, Artoria told all the powerful charge of the centaurs that day, as well as fighting against Celtic heavy spearmen as heavy infantry and gaining a very big advantage. This surprised Egil.

"I did fight with Centaurs before. I also know their brute force and impact. But I never thought that they could fight like this and advance slowly in a way similar to infantry..." Egil sighed: "If this is the case, then the situation may be the same as the Centaur girl said. As long as there are grasslands, they are all considered the sphere of influence of Centaur..."

"Which centaur girl is that centaur girl?" Artoria didn't hear anything else, but she heard this sentence so seriously. Then she asked Egil in this way.

"Well, it's the only daughter of Centaur Khan Ayujie, named Princia..." Egil did not hide the matter like some fools. Instead, he said straightforwardly: "What's wrong?"

"...No, nothing." I thought to myself that my husband was the emperor of a country. It was impossible to taste this way, right? So Artoria continued to talk about this topic. Instead, he asked: "So, what should we do next? We have an army of 100,000 now, are we going to fight against the enemy... It's just a little difficult. The other side is a nomadic people of all cavalry. Maybe we won't have a large-scale battle with us. So, let's go to Moscow?"

"No, no, we will not fight or save Moscow." Egil chuckled and denied the two proposals that Artoria said.

"What do we do?" Artoria was a little surprised: "Aren't we here to save Moscow?"

Hearing Artoria say this, Egil couldn't help but smile, and his wife was still the same as before. Although she was very keen in military terms, she was slow in politics. Just like in the Bronze Age, Mahabar evaluated the famous Carthage general Hannibal: he knew how to win but did not know how to use it. His wife Artoria was also a Hannibal-style general. Of course, this is not important because the Norman Empire had a guy who knew how to extract the greatest benefits from war, or only when he could get the benefits, that is, Egilskadragrimsun. This thorough utilitarian and pragmatist.

"Of course not, Hani." Egil chuckled: "Our purpose is to empire, to gain the greatest benefit for ourselves, not to save or destroy anything. You should think so: if destroying Moscow can make the empire more profitable, it is better to destroy it."

But........., Oh..." Artoria still looked like she was ignorant: "But if she only focused on interests, isn't we in a disadvantageous position in terms of morality and public opinion?"

"Wrong!" Egil shook his head: "The so-called interests must take into account many factors, and you can see the money, the army, the rights, the land, etc., which are one aspect, but what you mentioned before, the so-called morality, public opinion, piety, and the people's hearts must also be calculated. Only by considering this comprehensively can you finally get the correct answer."

"...wait?!" Artoria seemed quite surprised.

This gave Egil a sense of psychological superiority and satisfaction. It was like the feeling that arises after meeting someone who was stupider than him, and he laughed happily.

"Okay, okay, Hani, you don't have to care too much about this kind of thing." Egil said: "It's right to rely on me when I encounter something I don't understand. This is how couples exist."

Hearing Egil say this, Artoria smiled, but still felt something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked, "Then, what about me, your so-called consideration.................? If the interests are right, will you give up on me?"

"Why do you think so?" Egil was a little surprised: "From the beginning and the end, Hani was my highest interest, and you are the only exception to the higher position than this, Hani." Egil hugged Artoria and said.

Although he knew that Egil could only believe half of what he said. However, Artoria couldn't help but smile. He said "hate" and fell happily in Egil's arms.

In this way, Norman's 100,000 troops were stationed in the open, unimpeded open space fifty kilometers away from Moscow. Egil made full use of the small highlands nearby.

Using the wood cut from the surrounding area and the efforts of the baggage soldiers, this place has become a complete watchtower, shooting platform, and a large barracks with barbed wooden fences.

The soldiers gave up military tents and lived in semi-permanent wooden houses. Of course, it is not correct to say that this is a military camp. Such perfect defense and a huge scale of 100,000 people can be stationed. After Egil's army retreated, it would be a very useful town to make a little use, although there is nothing else to use in this nearby except for a little timber resources...

There is a 100,000 army next to it! It's not just a joke. Even if there are 100,000 ants, which are densely crawling together, it will make people feel cautious...

When Egir's army stopped outside Moscow, the inner and outer cities of Moscow were shocked. The Kumen and Centaurs outside the city were in an uproar. Some of the chief chiefs who had robbed enough and shouted to go back. Others shouted: "We can't attack the city, but they can't fight in the field! Let's kill all the Normans first, and Moscow will definitely surrender!" After that, he was sprayed with a few chiefs who had fought with the Celtics before.

After sending a scout cavalry to walk around the Norman camp, seeing the ten-meter-long design platform showing off its might at the mercedes, the expression seemed to be saying, "Grandson, your grandfather dares to shoot you into a sieve when you come over", as well as hundreds of crossbows and catapults installed on the shooting platform, the chiefs Khan and others were all silent.

The defense of this mud horse seems to be higher than that of the Moscow city next to it?! Are the Normans a creature from another planet?! The Kumans are sure that if they really attack here, the final result will be absolutely terrible. The Kumans, without any large equipment for siege, will be transformed into a large number of bows, arrows, crossbows and stones, like rain, and the Normans only need to pay such trivial things. This is really perfect.

Another one: "We can attack their supply lines!" Such a proposal was eventually rejected. The Normans had three legions, totaling 15,000 of the most elite light cavalry. The Celtics also had two thousand elite light cavalry above the level. Relying on such a large number of cavalry clusters, as well as the horse-riding militias temporarily recruited from places such as Neo Scandinavia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine, the Normans had enough force to protect their supply lines. A large amount of food and various materials were transported to the front line through the outskirts of Moscow in Minsk and Smolensk, and such a road was transported to the front line. Egil did not care how hard it was to transport food by pushing a trolley in the weather of more than ten degrees below zero...

So, the people of Kuman were huddled in their messy camps like a big enemy, and stayed in their messy camps for several days. Every day, only the rangers moved around and dared not attack the city. However, a few days later, the imagined attack of the Norman army did not happen...

The Kumans and centaurs outside the city were like this. However, the Ross inside cheered loudly and shouted long live. They had not been attacked for three days. Later, they heard about the news that Norman's 100,000 troops came to support. The Ross and Slavs couldn't help but shouted God's assurance. They took out the last bit of food and the treasured wine to start a carnival. However, in the end of this carnival, Catherine II, who was in the palace, was also frowning.

"If the civilians outside knew about it, their so-called savior was actually a robber who came to rob. I wonder if they would still shout so loudly.

"For a long time, Caterina II, who was sitting upright on the Duke's goiter, snorted and said such words.

"How can you say that?! The other party, Emperor Egil has come to rescue us with all his strength! Although this treaty is a bit harsh, it is actually for the good of the Principality of Moscow. In the future, the two countries will be as close as one family. Nothing like this will happen again." However, as soon as Catherine II finished speaking, the crown prince Paul, who was sitting next to her, stood up and shouted loudly, making his mother's face look even more ugly...
