    ~Date:~October 13~

    AD 1012, an extremely difficult year for European countries finally ended.  Two things happened in this year. Half a year later, the Black Death that swept across Europe finally weakened. This is good news.  The news in the second half of the year was quite bad The Norman Empire took action to eradicate the two countries of Aquitaine and Burgundy.  Burgundy is a long-established power in Europe.  Aquitaine was no weakling either.  However, the final result ended with the complete victory of the Normans¡â which had to make other countries frightened.  I can't live my life in panic.

    After the foreign threat of Mongolia disappeared, and after the internal trouble of the Black Death was resolved, the Norman Empire, a terrifying behemoth that had retained most of its strength, finally tore off its hypocritical mask.  He began to attack his former allies. Emperor Man was ambitious and decided to bring the entire Europa under his control.  And the most important thing is that this madman really has the strength to do this!

    Several German princes knew that their secret funding of Burgundy would definitely not be hidden from the Norman Emperor, who had a network of spies everywhere.  At the same time, the Norman Emperor dispatched 80,000 troops and surrounded them on three sides, which was definitely not for a joy ride on the border.  While their situation was very dangerous, the situation in Milan and Venice in Italy was also quite bad.  As the Black Death gradually dissipated, Mediterranean trade began to steadily resume¡ªwhich was a good thing.  But the Norman Empire's fleet also regained its mobility.

    After the old Admiral Carter died of the plague, the Norman Emperor split his Mediterranean fleet into two parts, the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet and the Western Mediterranean Fleet.  The dividing line is the Italian peninsula, the island of Malta, and the central axis of Malta.  After the fleet was split, the original dominance of the Norman Navy and the Mediterranean Fleet disappeared. This was a good thing for the stability and balance of the Norman Empire.

    certainly.  That's not the point right now.  It was the new military action of the Norman Empire - when the German princes thought that they were surrounded on three sides, the Italians knew that it was not three sides, but four sides.

    General Winde is also one of the new generals recruited by the Norman Emperor. The commander-in-chief is full of loyalty and zero ambition. He is a young man who looks very cheerful and free-spirited.  He was entrusted with an important task by the Norman emperor and led an army of 30,000 people on ships.  Starting from Crimea and heading to northern Italy, the Holy See disembarked and quickly used the remaining power of the Papal States as a springboard to attack Milan and Venice.

    This is the entire arrangement of Egil - a total of 110,000 troops in four directions, east, west, north and south.  This military operation surrounded Central Europe and Northern Italy, the last opponents that could pose a threat to the Norman Empire, and mobilized more than two-thirds of the strength of the Norman Empire's Central Forbidden Army. Occupation in the capital Krakow  The troops now number only 40,000.

    Before this, this kind of thing was absolutely unimaginable.  The emperor hid his main army as if it were a treasure. No one could command these armies except himself.  From this we can also see the emperor's trust in these new generals.

    Of course, this is all nonsense. These guys who are full of loyalty and ambition are all Egil¡¯s fans.  They did whatever Egil told them to do.  Apart from this, I have no desire or pursuit at all.  A little compliment from the emperor can make them burst into tears of gratitude.  On the contrary, no matter how much the emperor ravaged them, they would not complain at all.  It can be said that the meaning of these people's lives is to serve the Norman Emperor.  Nothing else.

    "The Lord has commanded me to be the Antichrist, and I am the Antichrist."

    This is almost the case.  When the Norman Empire's army was quiet and surrounded from east to west, north and south, other small countries did not sit still and wait for death.  They quickly connected.  He also recommended the son of the Austrian duchess as the new Holy Roman Emperor and nominal leader, forming a new anti-Norman alliance.

    Well, I remember that Egil once asked Duchess Teresa a question.  Ask her about her and her son's titles.  While sowing discord, he also knocked on the proud duchess.  But now, the situation is completely different. The original heir to the Duke, a young man named Joseph, has a more resounding title than the Duke of Austria¡ªEmperor of the Holy Roman Empire!

    Although it is very likely that the word "last generation" will be added in front of his title.

    Because of the betrayal of the entire Holy Roman Empire, Austria.  Bohemia, Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg and Milan - these six electors unanimously declared to depose the Norman Emperor Egil, the title of Holy Roman Emperor.  So now, from a legal perspective, Egil Skalagrimsson, a guy who was once proud of having one person and three emperors, now only has two crowns.

    But that¡¯s okay ¨C in fact the emperor is waitingWait for an opportunity.  After he conquers all of Europe, he will do his best to condense the territories and nations under his control into a single country and nation.  To ensure that after his death, all his efforts will not be in vain and Europa will become fragmented again.

    "Strength is important, but what I need now is propaganda - I want to promote that the entire Europe is one nation. A single nation, a single ancestor, so that people have a sense of belonging to this empire." I will continue  Improve the laws and systems of the empire. Let this empire last for hundreds or thousands of years. Let the same idea exist in the hearts of all Europeans. Even if the empire falls into chaos and division for a time, it will eventually move towards unity. That is  That¡¯s right.¡±

    "That's a good point. But can you take a closer look at the situation?"

    Hearing Egil¡¯s passionate speech, Princess Aurora, one of his cheap sisters and lovers, said a little helplessly.

    "Eh? What's going on?" Egil looked innocent.

    ¡°We are having sex ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!¡± If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was difficult to get up from the doggy style, Aurora would probably be furious by now.

    ? Okay, that¡¯s it.  On the New Year's Day of 1013 AD, Egil officially announced the beginning of the crusade against the princes of the Holy Roman Empire.  The four-pronged army, which had received the news long before, with 110,000 troops, also launched an attack on the enemy troops in the border area at the same time.

    This battle is called: the war of two empires.  Because the Holy Roman Empire has collapsed.

    No one is a fool these days.  In addition, the Norman Emperor completely exposed his ambitions.  As a result, no country was willing to ally with him. The princes of the Holy Roman Empire, plus the Free City State of Venice, a total of seven countries, all rejected the emperor's solicitation.  The Kingdom of Hungary was the only country that was dying, unable to pose any threat to the empire, and could not provide any benefits to the empire, so it finally chose neutrality.

    Of course, in fact, neither the Holy Roman Empire nor the Norman Empire wooed him.  But in today's Romania, the Hungarian known as Hunyadi is very interested in his original motherland This hero with tens of thousands of elite cavalry working for him has repeatedly expressed his will.  He claimed that he was the best candidate to be king of Hungary.

    Of course none of this matters.  The battle between the Eastern Roman Empire, which had calmed down and began to gradually recover, and its local separatist forces, or the Turks fishing in troubled waters, or the riots of various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia, and Hunyadi's attack on the Kingdom of Hungary  None of this is the point.  The focus now is what is going to happen in Central Europe, the center of European civilization.

    Between the seven-nation coalition forces of Germany and Northern Italy, a total of 100,000 troops, and the 110,000 elite troops of the Norman Empire, a war that is neither unprecedented nor unprecedented is about to break out.  But the war is absolutely important.

    If the Norman Empire wins, then the main body of Europe will be basically occupied by him.  The task of establishing a unified European empire is more than half completed.  But if the Norman Empire fails, then Europe will once again usher in an era of chaos and disorder.

    The Emperor, Egil Skalagrimsson.  Twenty-nine years old, the world's most powerful warrior, dictator and ruler.  The man who was about to conquer all of Europe.

    And his opponents are a group of rabble.

    "So, three is really a strange number. One can be two, but not three. It is said three times as water, and if three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. If a third party intervenes or somethingit seems like there is something strange mixed up.  Went in. But there was no problem at all. When the Norman Emperor learned that his opponents had once again formed an anti-Norman alliance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal an extremely cheerful smile.

    He was recalling how panicked he was when the first so-called "Anti-Norman League" was established.  Ultimately, though, that turned out to be a false alarm.  Because of that incident, he gained the favor of many European countries and gained the title of commander of the European Allied Forces.  But that kind of fear still makes the emperor feel a little embarrassed when he recalls it now.

    The second time was a real anti-Norman alliance.  Because of the Holy Roman Empire's throne and the Papal States' opposition, Europe formed a coalition against him and his allies.  That war was unprecedented in scale and involved all of Europe.  In the end, the emperor maneuvered vertically and horizontally, relying on the advantage of comprehensive national strength and winning with the help of his allies.

    Next, is the so-called third time
