Part 4 Anti-Norman Alliance Chapter 34 Peace Negotiation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Of course, no one took him seriously.  In fact, after saying the words like before, I encountered another difficulty and another danger.  Then he mentioned the Eastern Roman Empire, and Constantinople sent an envoy to ask for peace.  Everyone felt that Egil could no longer hold on and wanted to get out of this war.  And their guess is correct in a sense.

    From the beginning of the new year to now, it¡¯s almost September.  The Norman army swept across the Balkans.  Years and months of war.  It left the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted.  The defense of Constantinople also made the Normans tired.  Although Egil spent a lot of effort to make the Norman offensive more fierce.  And made many promises to arouse the greed and war desire of the Normans.  But this is already the limit.  .

    Chapter 34: The peace negotiation was a fierce battle with the Eastern Roman Empire for more than ten consecutive days.  The Normans lost their last chance to attack.  The army was desolate and there were many complaints among the soldiers.  Despite Egil's prestige.  Mutinies or similar things can be avoided.  But the army lost its combat effectiveness.  Even like other armies that attacked Constantinople, they were counterattacked by the Roman army and failed.  Such a thing is very likely to happen.

    Not to mention, the Norman Empire is now facing the threat of the Mongols.

    "If peace talks can solve the problem, then there seems to be nothing wrong with it." General Tomami Mami muttered in a low voice.  In this venue, she was the only one qualified and interested in saying such things.  Putting aside humanoid pets like Ion, the identities of Sonia and Maria are not enough.  He is not of noble birth and does not have a title.  The same cannot be said for official positions.  Although the emperor recently changed the law so that men can have up to twenty-four wives, they will presumably be given official status soon.  But at least for now.  They are not qualified to speak yet.

    Of course they are not the worst.  At least their status as confidential secretaries and personal bodyguards can still allow them to occupy a place beside Egil.  The other person who accompanied the army to negotiate peace in Chapter 34, Nightingale, who was a professional nurse, did not appear at all.  You don't even have to add soy sauce.

    And the other two have identities.  Centaur Princess Princia, since the last conflict with Arturia.  I feel uncomfortable staying with her anymore.  So I rarely speak.  Arturia, on the other hand, did not like the end of the war.  But I also know that the current situation is not good.  Caught in a dilemma.  So I don¡¯t want to say anything.

    That¡¯s it.  After hearing what Tomoe Mami said, Egil.  He nodded very seriously, and then showed a look of approval: "That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't expect you to be so smart. I'm really impressed. So, for the sake of you  For the sake of face. We neither fried him nor steamed or braised him. Instead, we let him in and discussed peace with him. Of course, my original intention was to continue the war. After all, the Norman army  It¡¯s right to be invincible, ah ha. Ah ha, ah ha ha ha ha ha"

    While the emperor was saying these self-deceptive words to feel good about himself, he patted Tomoe Asami on the chest - shouldn't he pat the shoulder at this time?

    Of course these are not the point.  Although the conclusion was reached to negotiate peace with the other party.  But at the same time, the Norman attack stopped.  The Emperor wanted to capitalize on the advantages gained by such an offensive.  To increase your bargaining chip.  So the war is still going on very fiercely.  Both the facade of Constantinople and the Theodosian Walls in the west.  Or the Golden Horn Pier in the north.  Battles were ongoing in both places.  The loud shouting of killing.  The Eastern Roman envoys who were allowed to meet the Norman emperor felt a lot of pressure.

    "However, no matter what, I can't show fear. I can't bring discredit to my motherland. Even when facing the murderous devil-like Norman Emperor, I still have to show my Roman style.  Neither humble nor arrogant, convincing." The messenger said to himself.  While trying to stay calm.  Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of ill-intentioned Norman soldiers, they advanced towards the camp where Egil was located.

    However, the envoy had just entered the camp and had not yet had time to introduce himself.  Explain your intention.  The emperor on the opposite side said: "Looking at him, he doesn't look like he is here to beg for surrender. Pull him out and chop him down." Then the envoy was inexplicably pulled out by the equally inexplicable Norman guard knight next to him.  He walked around the school grounds and then back again.

    But the messenger's psychological quality was quite good - he still maintained a certain amount of sanity at this moment.  Neither scared into a fool.  There was no yelling either.  He really couldn't figure out what Emperor Norman wanted to do - if he didn't want to negotiate, he could just kill him after he made his intention clear.  Why bother?

    ? ???Well, I understand!  The barbarian emperor was really putting on airs.  Trying to scare me with this clumsy trick.  Fortunately, you will have an advantage in the subsequent negotiations!  Well, that must be the case!  So I have to take a tougher stance to make his conspiracy go bankrupt!  "

    After making such a decision, the Eastern Roman envoy acted righteously.  Smoothly, he followed the guard knight and walked toward General Fang on the school field.

    Then he was hacked to death.  His head was hacked to death.  He was hacked to death without any suspense.

    At the same time, in the camp, the Norman Emperor and Queen were having lunch.

    "So, why did you want to kill the envoy? Haven't we already determined the strategy for negotiating with the Greeks?" After Egil said this, next to him, Arturia asked strangely  road.

    "To show my toughness. We defeated the Greeks near Adrianople. Then we occupied the entire Greek Peninsula without stopping. Then we attacked Constantinople. And we also occupied the city during the siege.  The upper hand. That being the case. Why should we negotiate?"

    "Didn't you say that the Mongols are about to attack?" Arturia was even more confused when he heard what Egil said: "In addition, there are also reasons for supply and morale."

    "But the Greeks don't know this news." Egil chuckled: "The most they can guess is some supply and morale matters. But relying on these alone, it is certainly impossible to determine our true position. So I want to give them  Create an illusion. I do have some intention of negotiating. But my negotiation is very harsh. It just depends on what they do."

    After this, the Norman army fired arrows at the city of Constantinople.  There were very simple words written on it: That messenger was too unruly.  So he was killed by me.  If the Romans really want to negotiate, then they can find a guy with the softest bones who will tremble with fear when he sees the Norman army as an envoy.

    After receiving this explanation from the Norman Empire.  Everyone in the Eastern Roman Empire felt this.  This is too much.  These Greeks wanted nothing.  But you just can¡¯t do without dignity.  If the Normans asked them to cede territory and pay compensation.  There's no way they would agree.  After all, they had ceded land to the barbarians more than once to pay compensation.  Even like this, it is not unprecedented for the entire Greek peninsula to be occupied.

    When the Bulgarian Empire was at its most powerful, it integrated the entire Greek Peninsula and most of the Balkan Peninsula.  The then Bulgarian Emperor proclaimed himself Caesar of Bulgaria and Greece, and was recognized by the Holy See.  Although the Eastern Roman Empire was reluctant, it had nothing to do.

    But so what.  Savages will remain savages.  Although it can dominate for a while.  But it cannot remain strong and glorious forever.  An empire maintained by force can only last for a while, but an empire maintained by civilization can last for thousands of years.  Unfailing.  Soon the Bulgarian Empire was in decline.  As much as you ate, you would be beaten up and spit out by the Eastern Romans.

    That¡¯s it, there are such examples, as well as the grudges and resentments between Eastern Rome and Ottoman Turkey, and various inferences and inferences.  So compensation for ceded territory.  The Romans couldn't care less.

    ¡ª¡ªBut face is not enough.

    Soon, the contents of the Norman letters spread throughout Constantinople.  A large number of nobles became excited after hearing this.  They immediately joined forces and ran to the great palace of Constantine, all shouting that they would continue to fight the Normans until death.  No matter how much Liliannu tried to comfort her, it wouldn't work.

    ¡°You bastard who can¡¯t stand and talk without hurting his back!¡± Hearing these slogans, each one shouted louder than the last.  Liliannu was very angry inside.  She is not the kind of honest person who just believes what she hears.  But the scheming empress.  A cold-blooded and ruthless guy who dared to leave his seriously ill father outside the city and be angry to death.

    She naturally knows that the words of these bastards cannot be taken seriously.  The screams became louder at this time.  The sooner you wait until you fail, the sooner you will surrender.  As long as she kneels and licks her new master, she can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.  Integrity is naturally not as important as life, glory and wealth.  When the time comes, she will be the only one who deserves to die.

    Of course, Liliannu is not a vegetarian.  Although I was very reluctant to draw out my sword and chop them down.  On the surface, he was still smiling and said something like this: "Very good, everyone. I am very touched. You are all the pillars of the Roman Empire. With your help, why worry about the big things happening?"

    The Queen first put a high hat on these people, and then said something that made all the Eastern Roman nobles tremble: "Everyone is so angry. I have also decided to fight the Normans to the end - come on, give me  Each of the Roman warriors has a set of armor and weapons. Now send them to the battlefield to fight the Normans to completeOur wish!  "
