    Kicked out the spy chief who had become corrupted at some point.  Egil rubbed his temples and felt a slight headache.

    ¡°If it was just a matter of misappropriating a little activity funds, the emperor would probably just turn a blind eye.  Give this bastard a little indulgence.  After all, he was counting on this dog to bite people for him.  But this guy did some very bad things that made Egil a little impatient with him.  .

    "This person is using his power to seek personal gain - if that's all, forget it. I won't care. However, this person's appearance is unbearable. He uses the subordinate agencies of the intelligence network and the gangs that have been integrated  Doing a lot of disgusting business. Smuggling, human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, etc. - Of course, what's even more egregious is that this bastard doesn't pay me taxes - and violates the imperial laws, and those illegally obtained money  It should be half as good as mine."

    Once upon a time, the emperor complained to the eldest princess like this.  At the end of the sentence, Aurora received a charming eye roll and +5 contempt.

    "Okay, okay." Egil shrugged: "In addition, violations of law and discipline, disrupting market order, and smuggling materials to hostile countries have infringed on national interests. These things are also worth noting. This guy's  The organization, in a sense, has become a cancer of the empire. What I want is an intelligence system all over the world. What I want is an organ that can transmit messages quickly like a nervous system. It is not an  A criminal network that is parasitic on the empire and sucks its nutrients is not what I want."

    "Then why not just kill him?" Hearing Egil start to discuss business.  Aurora also became serious.  Then he said this.  Sounds like very simple and straightforward advice.

    So Egil responded with +5 contempt.

    "Is it so simple for you to be a spy network? Replace people? Who to replace? If they are people inside the system, it is just changing the soup without changing the medicine. Airborne one? Then you have to endure the intelligence system not functioning properly or even being paralyzed. Or even  The consequences of the collapse. If not for this, eight Nemulis would have died. Do you think I have a good temper?"

    "What should we do?" Hear Egil say this.  Aurora then asked.

    "When the world is at peace, it will be time to kill the donkey." The emperor vowed.

    "You are really direct." Aurora was a little speechless when Egil said this - of course, there was actually another reason that Egil did not say.  In this era, it had been nearly fifteen years since the Norman emperor raised his armies.  There were only a few people who originally followed him.  It's a bit sad to say it.

    Archbishop Peter had political differences with Egil and was dissatisfied with his approach to the Holy See.  In addition, he retired from politics to protect himself.  Now he lives a semi-reclusive life in the Cathedral of Krakow.  I can't see you again.  The emperor met him at the New Year's reception.  The Archbishop, who was originally as strong as a cow, is now covered in wrinkles and age spots.  He was trembling when he walked.  Seeing the emperor's growing authority, he didn't even dare to say anything.  Except "yes yes yes, long live the emperor".  There were no words.  It makes people feel very pitiful.

    Death Knight Alpha verified the Norman Emperor's prophecy during the war between the Empire and the Mongols.  Died in the rebellion.  Trampled to pieces by Mongolian cavalry.  The black iron armor on his body was torn into pieces.  The swords and lances were taken away by the Mongols and became trophies.  Collect the bodies after the battle.  Only a few pieces of black steel were found.  Nothing else.  A generation of warriors died here, leaving only a cenotaph in the Royal Military Cemetery outside Krakow.  And an epitaph written by the emperor himself: This is a strong knight, he once went through life and death for me.

    Robin Hood, captain of the longbowmen, because of the recent development of crossbows and artillery.  At the same time, the heavy-duty armor made the longbow's strategic value decline and became unhappy.  The body is getting worse and worse.  The spirit is also very bad.  I almost died from a serious illness a few years ago.  Egil went to his house to visit in person.  At that time, Robin Hood, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, was already emaciated and emaciated with only a set of bones left.  Where's the look of General Shenjian?  Let alone draw a bow and shoot an arrow, I can't even get out of bed and walk

    Clerk Talleyrand was promoted to viscount just two years ago.  But the title was improved.  His status has dropped a lot.  After gaining system authority, the emperor immediately appointed a group of loyal secretaries and attendants.  This guy with ulterior motives was replaced.  Thinking back again, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time.  Last heard from him.  I accidentally saw a document "The public security environment in the capital has deteriorated, and frustrated nobles are running rampant. Laws and disciplines are violated" It seems that the emperor finally approved a strict investigation and punishment.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s turned off or cut off¡­

    Admiral Carter died earlier.When the deadly disease struck, he contracted this incurable disease.  After lying down, I couldn't get up again.  The body has been buried on the island of Malta for the past two years.  The emperor specially arranged a cemetery for him.  Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful.  To rest in peace for the heroic spirits

    ??????????????????????????? Nemulis became the only remaining successful general under the Norman emperor.  For this reason.  The emperor did not want to take him down casually.  But I want him to retire with dignity in a relatively peaceful way.  This way everyone looks good.

    During this period of time, the emperor also gave this person a lot of reminders, both overtly and covertly.  But I don't know why.  Are you really so blinded by power that you can't understand, or do you have other motives?  Nemulis did not submit his resignation obediently and proactively, as Egil thought.  As a result, the emperor's patience gradually disappeared He decided that after completing everything (conquering the entire Western world and defeating the Mongol invasion again, allowing the empire to gain the upper hand in the contest with the East).  He ordered Nemulis to commit suicide.

    Well, now is not the time to talk about this.  When the emperor was taken away by his spy chief, news from the east was obtained.  The siege of Constantinople was still in full swing.  The Normans tried every means to capture Constantinople.  The soldiers and civilians of Constantinople fought with their lives to resist.  The two sides fought fiercely.

    After realizing that the Normans' continuous attacks were intended to make their own army fall into fatigue and collapse without a fight.  Queen Liliannu began to change her strategy.  It took her some time.  All the nearly 300,000 residents of Constantinople, regardless of age or sex, were mixed together with the 50,000 troops in her hands.  Eight new legions were formed.

    The Queen requires each of her legions to fight continuously for six hours.  After six hours, new regiments were replaced to continue fighting.  In this way, they rotated every two days to deal with the continuous attacks of the Normans.

    In the first few days.  The newly formed legions created a certain amount of confusion.  And at night, because of physiological discomfort.  The soldiers' physical strength and mood were not very good either.  This allowed the Normans to seize the opportunity, gain a certain advantage, and achieve a small victory.

    But then, within the next two days, the Legion seemed to have a little bit of a grasp on the trick.  They played better.  Can compete with the Normans.  In the third two days, there were even times when Constantinople's army was able to gain a slight upper hand.  Of course, at that time, some abnormal situations will occur - for example, one's own army suddenly becomes weak and morale drops inexplicably.  Or maybe the combat effectiveness of the Norman army suddenly increased.  As a result, the previous advantage was quickly lost.

    "However, if we continue to develop at this level, we should be able to defend Constantinople." After fighting for ten consecutive days, Lilianu made a calculation.  It was discovered that although the Galata Fortress on the north side of the Golden Horn had fallen.  The Golden Horn almost became an inland river for the Normans.  On the north side of the city wall, one-third of the towers were occupied.  Constantinople suffered some thirty thousand casualties - but the city - despite being riddled with holes, was exhausted.  But it remained in Roman hands.

    "Ah ah ah If it continues at this level, I will not be able to capture Constantinople." At the same time, after calculating the battle situation, the Norman Emperor issued a message with mostly similar words, but the content was different.  Completely opposite sentiment.

    "What should we do?" I heard Egil say.  Arturia, Tomoe Asami, Princia, and Maria standing next to him, Sonia all turned to look at him.  Ai En, who was lying on his knees and breathing heavily, also raised his head in response.

    Speaking of which, while the talents and generals around Egil continue to wither, there are more and more women around him

    "Speaking of which, Aurora has also begun to push. Logistics and supplies are beginning to have difficulties. We can hardly support it. If this continues, we will be hungry." Egil continued: "And in the Kazan area  General Wende also sent intelligence. The Mongols may launch another expedition. They may not be able to sustain it."

    "So?" Arturia seemed a little nervous after hearing the word "hungry", and her tone became a lot more anxious.

    "So someone just came to report that Constantinople has sent another envoy and wants to negotiate peace with us. Do you think it would be better for us to chop off his head, or fry him in a pan?"  "
