December 1, 1014 AD. When General Wende's tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people were trapped in Kazan, they called for help. When General Urs was attacked from three sides by Ethiopia, the Moors and the Ilkhanate and was about to be killed, the Norman Emperor was at the Great Palace of Constantine - to be precise, the ruins of the Great Palace of Constantine Perform his coronation and marriage ceremonies.
After the city was broken, the current Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Sergius II denounced the Norman invaders very courageously, and then the emperor had his head chopped off in accordance with the method of dealing with an enemy with courage. Come down and kick the ball. After this, Egil appointed another Ecumenical Patriarch. That was a coward who hid in a cesspit and shivered in order to survive after the Norman army arrived. But it is precisely because of Chapter 38.
The Conqueror¡¯s Show Off This maggot is timid. That's why Egil chose this guy. After all, in the ignorant Middle Ages, religion was one of the indispensable embellishments of imperial power. The wedding between the emperor and the empress requires a competent host.
And just like that, the emperor sent his troops and forcibly gathered everyone in Constantinople in the square outside the ruins of the Great Palace. It was so densely packed that there was no way to get through. These guests, who were forced to come by the butcher knives of the Norman soldiers, had to force themselves to smile, using smiles that were uglier than crying, and auspicious words that were extremely insincere, turning themselves into one of the decorations of the wedding.
?Then there are the newcomers. First of all, he carefully accompanied Arturia to the evening drink last night. At least he took good care of her. Or Egil who got him drunk so that he wouldn't cause trouble. The emperor is still wearing the armor of an absolute guardian. The waist hanger tears the blade of life. This armor was the same as the previous fierce battle with the Mongols. After the best armorers and dyers. Artist's rest. The paintings and decorations are all completely new. Egil looked very energetic.
Next to Egil is Liliannu, who is wearing a bright red wedding dress and holding several bouquets of red roses. Marriage Chapter 38
The conqueror's show-off yarn was redeemed by Egil from the system. The same goes for roses. Constantinople in November, despite the Mediterranean climate. But roses are still a rarity. What's more, these flowers are the same as those just picked. Others looked at it and thought that the emperor was so arrogant and extravagant that he sent a fast horse to deliver it day and night.
One of the two men was wearing armor, while the other was wearing a full dress. The man is obviously heroic, and the woman is obviously delicate. They seem to match each other very well. But in the eyes of the people of Constantinople, this "good match" has another meaning. That Egil is covered in armor and has a saber on his waist. Isn't it a symbol of the Norman Empire's military conquest? And Liliannu was being led by his side, walking step by step along the red carpet towards the ruins of the Grand Palace. Naturally, it symbolizes the government of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Greeks were very intelligent, philosophical and emotional creatures. At this moment, many philosophers and literati saw this scene. They couldn't help but burst into tears - and then they burst into tears. These people were pulled out of the crowd by the Norman soldiers and their heads were chopped off without mercy.
¡°?¡ª¡ª¡± Seeing this scene, Liliannu, who had been tortured by the horrific real world and had been mentally numb, realized at this moment that the princess became angry. He stretched out his hand and took Egil's hand. He stopped in the middle of the red carpet and stared at the mad emperor with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" The emperor's tone was filled with unconcealable pride: "Today is a good day for me and you. You look at those people as if they were mourning. Is there anything wrong with killing? Is there anything wrong with it?!" One "What's wrong?" was said to Lilianu, and the second one was said by the emperor, turning around and loudly speaking to the surrounding Greeks who dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Under the threat of the Norman butcher knife, the Greeks reluctantly agreed in a low voice: "Yes" and "right".
"Louder! I can't hear you! What the whole people of Constantinople say is not as big as my own business?! Then the meaning of your existence is meaningless. Isn't it?" among the emperors He said this angrily. It really overshadowed the unwilling and unclear speeches of thousands of people before.
Still under the threat of the butcher's knife. The Greeks raised their voices and shouted: "Yes!" "That's it!" and other words.
"Louder! Say something nice to make me happy!" Egil smiled more and more happily. After hearing his speech, the tens of thousands of Norman troops who were monitoring these Greeks also loudly repeated Egil's words: "Say something good to make the lord happy! Louder!"
"Long live Emperor Egil!"
"Louder!"
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil!!"
"Goodbye"Speak louder! ! "
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil"
"If you make any louder noise, won't you have enough food?!"
A group of Greeks murmured in their hearts: "Isn't it because we haven't had enough to eat All the food has been robbed by you Normans. The only thing given to us every day is two taels of black bread mixed with sawdust and sand Naturally, I don¡¯t have the energy to shout so loudly right now.¡±
However, they just dare to think about it in their hearts. Those who really dared to speak out had been killed by the Normans in the turmoil long before this.
¡°Long live His Majesty Emperor Egil! Long live Long live!!¡±
Super loud and loud shouts came from the mouths of tens of thousands of Greeks at the venue. If you don't know the truth at first glance, you may think that this conqueror emperor is very likable.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha " Long live hearing such an indescribable words, but had to shout out loud. Egil's bad taste was greatly satisfied for a while. Laughed wildly. that's all. Amid the tsunami-like cheers of the Greeks and the wild laughter of Egil, this wedding had unknowingly become a stage for the Norman emperor alone. The whole of Constantinople, the whole of Greek civilization, turned with the baton of this so-called "barbarian."
This process probably lasted nearly half an hour. Everyone whose voice is hoarse from shouting, or who has no strength and therefore stops shouting. They were all pulled out by the Norman soldiers who were watching. Beheaded on the spot. The bloody smell of this so-called wedding was even stronger.
That¡¯s it, without Egil¡¯s permission. Not a single Greek dared stop cheering. Even if my voice is almost broken when shouting, I don¡¯t dare. Some people shouted and collapsed on the ground. However, the people around him didn't dare to care at all. The enthusiastic shouting continued for half an hour. Only then did Egil stop laughing with satisfaction. He waved his hands and said: "Okay, everyone, don't be like this. I will feel embarrassed if you are so enthusiasticah hahahaha"
Having said this, Egil couldn't help laughing wildly.
Beside Egil, the former empress of Eastern Rome and now the quasi-concubine of the Norman Empire, Lilianu, had shed tears of dissatisfaction. He was shaking amidst the roaring and tsunami-like slogans and almost fell to the ground. However, Egil was quick-sighted and immediately put his arms around her waist and held Liliannu in his arms.
"Why do you want to humiliate me like this?!" Lilianu struggled violently in Egil's arms. She cried and kicked Egil's body. Of course, for the Norman Emperor who was wearing the Absolute Guardian Armor, this was just like scratching an itch. No feeling at all.
"Because I love you." Egil said naturally. What she got in return was Liliannu's eyes of disbelief.
"Becauseyou love me?" Liliannu's mind was in chaos at that time. I don't know what to say at all. In fact, after hearing Egil's shocking confession, the surrounding Greek and Norman soldiers were also stunned. If the tyrant said something cruel or impersonal or utilitarian. Then these people will accept it. But Egil actually said "love", an answer that has nothing to do with war, sieges, plundering and slavery, which is unacceptable.
"That's right, I love you. So I defeated your army, captured your city, captured you, and in order to prevent you from leaving me, I let your country be completely destroyed. No more The possibility of revival. Is that a problem?¡±
The problem is huge. But at that time, Lilianu, who heard what Egil said, completely lost the ability to think. She just looked at Egil in a daze, letting Egil hold her hand, and walked step by step toward the other side of the red carpet, the Orthodox Patriarch who also had a forced smile. At this time, the queen really didn't know what to do. Should he be moved by Egil's infatuation and passionate love? Or should he shout: "Are you an idiot?!" Grab the saber hanging from Egil's waist and let him test the question that has troubled him for a long time: is his armor better or his? A saber is sharper?
But in the end, Liliannu didn¡¯t do anything. She just let Egil hold her hand in a daze. The dozens of meters long red carpet quickly reached the end. After the Universal Patriarch consecrated the marriage between Egil and Lilian, he canonized Egil as "Emperor of all Greeks and Romans." Then he took the crown that originally belonged to Liliannu and prepared to put it on Egil's head.
Then, Egil snatched the crown, turned around, and put it on Lilianu's head.¡
"Remember, the one I want to marry is Liliannu, the empress of Eastern Rome." Egil said as he continued to laugh and hugged Liliannu like a princess. Walked all the way towards his barracks
