Chapter 82 (Egil's eloquence burst into tears)

However, Egil did not directly answer Basil II's question, but instead rode his horse to the Roman Bishop Hilde, and extended his hand to introduce it. Every time he said a sentence, Foster, who was proficient in various languages, quickly translated it into Greek. The Greek words spoken by Basil II were also directly translated by Foster into standard Norman. What Egil said at this time was also standard Norman.

After more than half a year of war, these languages ​​have spread throughout Europe with Egil's great military power. Their language is strong when high, and their low is gentle and sad, which is very nice. In addition, the influence of the Norman Kingdom has made the royal nobles of all countries proud to speak Norman standard language.

Many small countries even define it as a palace term. This is a concrete manifestation of the strong national strength and cultural prosperity.

At this moment, most of the nobles present could understand the standard Norman language that Egil spoke. Even if they didn't learn well, there were smart but low-ranking entourages next to them to translate them into other languages. "This one, highly respected, was the spiritual leader of Pippin's land and established in the Holy See, two hundred and fifty years ago, including the spiritual leader of countless princes and nobles in European countries, the cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, and Cardinal Hildebrand, the right-hand man of the Pope's Holy See. This alliance was successful thanks to the bishop running around."

Afterwards, Egil walked to France, Philip II: "This one was one of the heirs of the Frank Empire five hundred years ago. From West Frank to France, the king of the largest country in Europe, was young and promising, and could be called a wise master."

"This is the Lord of the Three Major Territories Burgundy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. He is powerful, wealthy and brave and fearless."

"This one is the most important city-state of Northern Italy, a country of gold and commerce, a governor of the Republic of Venice, who values ​​freedom and glory, and his son inherits his father's business and the Lord of the Revival of the Republic."

After that, Egil turned his horse and looked directly at Basil II: "In addition, there are the strongest countries in Central Europe, Germany where the Germans gather, the brave and fearless Kingdom of Britain in the northwest, the Iberian kingdoms, and the tragic Hungarian Kingdom in the Catholic world, countless royal palaces, countless sages, countless elite soldiers and generals!! Countless populations, countless lands, countless wealth, and I am their leader!!!"

After Egil spoke, thousands of cavalry behind him raised their weapons and cheered loudly. The sound was so impressive. The morale of the coalition army was greatly boosted. The Greek side was slightly lower. Egil did not directly answer the other party's questions directly. Instead, he touched his four allies indirectly, and then he further spoke bigger and bigger, and the seventeen European countries said that they all over the seventeen countries.

Then he said: I am their leader.

This is more pleasant than what Basil II said, half of which is an exaggerated self-satisfaction. And it also sounds more like the truth.

That's it.

Basil II sighed softly, thinking to himself: "Young people are so terrifying." Then he took back that little thought.

After that, Egil chuckled, then raised his arm. A thousand elite soldiers behind him suddenly became silent. His excellent quality once again shocked the Greeks on the opposite side.

Basil II knew that if this continued and let the other party show all the limelight, then today's negotiations would be a loss for him, regardless of success or failure. And after the 1,000 iron-armored paladins under his command returned, there would be no need for gossip. Fifteen days was enough to make those gossips come out and more than a dozen versions, they were all the ones that were not good for him.

"The king lives in the north of the earth, covered by ice and snow. I live on the Mediterranean coast, and is open all year round. There is no war in both directions. On the contrary, business and travel trade between Norman and Lou are prevalent. Your messenger once accepted my summons in the Great Palace of Constantinople. My messenger was also entertained by you in the palace of Gothenburg. So this time, why did you give up the friendly relations between our two countries.

The anger is rushing thousands of miles away, and the people are exhausted and wealthy are launched. Go to a territory that does not belong to you at all, fight with my army, and make your tribe members die in vain?"

Egil snorted coldly: "I have heard people say that the Greeks are accustomed to turning black and white into white, pointing to deer as horses. They didn't believe it at first. But when they saw it today, they realized that there was no wind and no waves. What everyone said, word of mouth is mostly true.

What you said in the first half is that you and I have a deep friendship, but I don’t know. I, Norman merchants, abide by the law and trade fairly across the world. All countries in the continent praised our country and provided convenience. Only you Greeks have many obstacles and have made clever names to collect heavy taxes. How do you say it is friendly?!"

Egil said this because Norman business is developed and Norman diplomats are also polite. In addition, the business laws are not perfect in this era. Therefore, when Norman diplomats go to other countries to sign trade treaties, they can always get some benefits. Although Northern Italy is also well-developed in its nasal industry, its foundation is insufficient. In addition, Northern Italy has a desire for others, so it can still sign trade treaties that are beneficial to Norman.

But it was not possible to get to the Eastern Roman Empire. It was a thousand-year empire with a profound foundation and clear laws. Moreover, the Greeks' eloquence was also famous in the continental region. The senate was very quarreled every day, so Norman diplomats could not take any advantage. In addition, the Eastern Romans were born with contempt for all nations not Eastern Romans. Corrupt officials and tax collectors extorted, so Egil said this.

"If this is just for this reason, I can give your businessmen convenience.

Even the treatment is comparable to that of the merchants of his own country, it is not unrelated to the treatment." Basil II was suffocated when he heard this and said this.

"Yu hasn't finished speaking yet!" Egil waved his hand, but did not listen to Basil II's words: "You asked in the second half, why did you waste the people and cause money to start a large army? Indeed, this place does not belong to Norman territory, but does this place belong to Eastern Roman territory?"

"What exactly do you want to say? Do you think that you are more suitable for leading the land of Hungary than me?" Basil II angrily scolded.

"Of course not!" Egil was also not at a disadvantage: "The land of Hungary should be independent of the Hungarians! The Hungarian king Attila believed in Catholic faith and was one of our Christ brothers. How can we not help each other? This time, we are in accordance with the will of God, upholding the spirit of chivalrousness, and helping the weak! We fight with you for one of our Christ brothers. This is the right way, and the glory is the ultimate, what can we not do?!"

Basil II was suffocated again, and then he was a little angry: "You are waiting for the barbarians every three days a day."

Battle, a battle every five days. The heads of people who were killed rolled and blood flowed into a river. There was no such thing as brotherhood! How could I solve it?!"

"This is all family matter!" Egil replied directly without hesitation: "Although there are disputes between us, the Catholic nations, they are all disputes between brothers. There are occasional rough and bad things among the nations. When encountering foreign enemies, they can put aside their hatred, unite and fight with them together. The so-called brothers are seen outside the wall to defend against their insults!"

"If I say faith, our Eastern Roman Empire also believes in God. It has a long history and will be the strongest person in Europe. If we start a war, it will be a pity that the civilizations such as you will not prosper, and the virtues of the Tao will not prosper.

Kindly help. Why refuse?!"

"What you believe in is heresy. How can you compare with our great ways?! You are so frustrated that you can even speak so well-soundingly of evil deeds such as invading land, robbing wealth, and massacre of people. What is the use of the Roman Empire? "Dao" virtue? In dialect, there are many people who kill relatives and riots, and there are many men and thieves and prostitutes. You still have the face to mention the word "Dao" virtue?! It is extremely shameless!"

"A bold!"

Seeing Egil speak more and more, he stood completely on the commanding heights of the Daodi king and ruined his king like his grandson. On the other hand, the commander of the First Iron Paladin Regiment, the Greek General Dulusus, who was in charge of the security of Basil II, was anxious. He cursed like this, and then he immediately stepped forward. At least he knew some rules. The sword in his hand was not unsheathed, but he just wanted to teach the barbarian full of Hu Chai a lesson.

"Dulusus! Stop!" Seeing his subordinates so impulsive, Basil II was ashamed and angry as he spoke to stop him. However, Duluusus was like you, but he was determined to establish his authority and show off in this alliance.

Seeing a cavalry from the enemy flying over, Egil did not dodge, and was not in a hurry. He smiled and then everyone saw a black shadow rushing out from the coalition forces. He picked up a whirlwind-like thing in his hand and picked up the long sword in Dulusus's hand, then slapped it on Dulusus's shoulder. Everyone heard a "crunch" sound, and the skull shattered. Dulusus was also tough, and just groaned, and the beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead suddenly appeared. But he didn't scream.

After that, everyone looked at the center of the venue, and then they saw clearly what was going on. The black shadows were always following Egil. They didn't talk much, and the calm captain of the Knight Guard Alpha. The whirlwind in his hand was Alpha's unique giant black spear. He had just picked up Dulusus's sword and smashed his shoulder bones into pieces.

"Why is Lord?" Alpha still did such an amazing move, but he turned his head and asked.
