This is the so-called surprise. Although he sent envoys to the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Zaporoze Khanate at the same time, asking them to surrender to him. However, Egil did not expect that the two countries actually agreed to this -

No, no, it should be said that the unconventional country like Zaporoze Khanate surrendered and recognized Norman as the sovereign state. Since he was the king of Norway, he fought against Sweden, Novgorod and Moscow, and defeated many Cossacks in that battle, he has never suffered any losses when he saw the formation of the Cossacks. For the powerful and outstanding cavalry tactics, these unconventional Cossacks were very afraid of these unconventional Cossacks. In addition, the Norman Empire is now powerful and its territory covers most of Eastern Europe, and the only Eastern Rome that has the ability to stop the Norman Empire was bribed by the Norman Empire. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Cossacks to recognize the Norman Empire as the sovereign state.

What surprised Egil was the Grand Duchy of Moscow. This country, which had been mostly Slavic, was even more distant from the Ross and Vikings in terms of blood relations. During the European turmoil before the New Year, it was even more popular and the Novgorod was annexed, and its national strength increased greatly. The ruling class was also very enterprising, and Ekaterina II was a hero of a generation. Why did he surrender so easily?[]

At that time, Egil was thinking that if the other party could cut off the envoy who persuaded him to surrender, he would be able to attack the Grand Principal of Moscow with justification - without asking to occupy all of him - the Norman Empire now has too much new territory, and it will be full if it eats - but at least it must be weakened properly the power of the Grand Principal of Moscow.

But soon, when his envoy returned with the letter of loyalty from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Ekaterina II, and letters of help, Egil knew that he would not need to weaken the strength of the Grand Duchy of Moscow at this moment. In fact, this grand duchy, which once had the ambition to sweep Eastern Europe and was now in turmoil and on the eve of destruction.

"Are those Kumans really that strong?" Egil seemed very puzzled - one hundred thousand nomadic cavalry, which seemed very scary to say. But in fact, these guys with superb equestrians, good courage and wildness are indeed very good soldiers - but if they really go to the battlefield, they will only be crushed when they meet the Norman Hussars.

Egil's evaluation of them was: "very good soldiers" are "armys" rather than soldiers. The difference between the two is as big as the difference between high-quality iron ore and alloy steel. After systematic military training, reorganization and dress-up, the grassland nomadic cavalry can indeed become very powerful soldiers, but before that, in Egil's eyes, these were just a group of "mobs".

So Egil Flying was surprised and asked as he watched the diplomat returning from the Grand Duchy of Moscow Shot.

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow has a territory of millions of square kilometers and a population of tens of millions. Commander Semenov is also considered a talent. Even if the number of troops is not as large as the Kumans, it should not be so easy to lose if the city is held."

"This... my subordinates do not know much about the military, but it is said that the strategies implemented by the Grand Duchy of Moscow are not much different from what His Majesty said. After a field battle, he could not gain much advantage. Under the leadership of Semenovsky, he retreated all the 50,000 troops he summoned into Nizhny Novgorod City, and defended the walls and cleared the fields."

"What?" Egil continued to ask.

"Then they failed, and Nizhny Novgorod was massacred. Semenovsky fled back. But most of the 50,000 troops had lost. The rest were also depressed and did not want to fight anymore."

"...What happened in the middle?!" Egil asked.

"I said that my subordinates do not know much about military aspects."

“…”

So Egil had to continue waiting, waiting for military professionals to report to him what happened - and this so-called military professional was the Norman spy he deployed in the Principal of Moscow. In order to help Sonia regain some confidence as soon as possible, Egil also said it several times next to Sonia as if cheating.

"Ah, what method did the Kumen use to break through Nizhny Novgorod? I really want to know."

This is how Sonia reminded.

But seeing this guy seemingly understand, and finally thinking for a long time before suddenly realizing it, Egil was still speechless.

In the end, Sonia was still completely defeated - although her intelligence department had tried her best to collect clues and information, in the end, when Sonia was excited to run towards Egil's study with a large roll of sheepskin rolls, Egil had already begun to read the reports provided by Nemulis, which were more detailed and aided. Most importantly, the literary talent and narrative are clearer and better read.

When Sonia looked up at Nemulis, who was nearly thirty centimeters taller than her, she obviously found the other party's mocking intention, and almost couldn't help but pull out the dagger to destroy him.

Of course, according to Nemulis's skills, it is still unknown who will destroy who will eventually be.

Egil looked at Sonia's trembling hands and left the dagger on her back little by little. He took a deep breath, hoping that he could return to normal, so he comforted himself: "But, no matter what, Sonia is still improving..."

Seeing Egil looking at Sonia's very generous look, with no intention of blame, Nemulis sighed secretly, feeling a little unbalanced: "I am the old man who has followed His Majesty the Emperor as soon as he debuted. How can I let a girl who comes from my heart step on my head? Not to mention the hatred between her and me... If this guy is in power, where can I have my place in the Norman Empire?"

Of course, this guy would never dare to question or blame Egil. Therefore, he focused all his resentment on Sonia. However, Sonia always stayed by Egil, and he really couldn't find any opportunity to start - and in fact, Egil also made a vague statement: If something happened to her, no matter whether you did it or not, I would have to settle the score with you. In this case, Nemulis would not dare to do too much. At most, it would just be like now, just despising Sonia with her eyes, which was the kind of small move that could be ignored.

"At least, let Your Majesty think I am very useful. It is not something that can be replaced by such a little girl movie." Nemulis thought in his heart, and at the same time, he snapped his fingers at the maid, asking Egil, who had already read the entire report, asked, "Master, have you seen something?"

"This..." Egil's lips curled up, and then he said with a slight smile: "Nemulis, your information looks really interesting."

"This..." After being with Egil for so long, Nemulis naturally understood that Egil's appearance was actually a prelude to get angry, and he secretly regretted it. He had to read any information he had sent. If he noticed that it was inappropriate, he had to cover it up and modify it first. Then he sent it to Egil. However, this time in order to compete with Sonia, his information did not modify it and was sent directly to Egil's hands...

"It's a pity, something must have happened!" Nemulis was sweating profusely at the time, feeling like he was about to die. However, Egil just snorted lightly, then put down his intelligence, and then took over Sonia's information and started reading it.

Because Sonia's information was a bit sloppy and the content was inconsistent, Egil's reading speed was not very fast. It took almost twice as long to read the previous information. Finally, he shook his head.

“It’s similar.”

After hearing Egil say such words, Nemulis and Sonia both felt very strange, not knowing what the emperor's majesty meant. But in the end, Egil didn't say anything, just shook his head and let Nemulis go to his side, leaving Sonia to massage his shoulders.

Egil, who was resting, contacted Aurora, who was in charge of the relocation of the Advisory Council and the construction project of Krakow, and asked in a daze: "That, is that?"

"Which one is you talking about?" Aurora seemed to understand Egil's words, but she asked deliberately.

"The information of Nemulis and Sonia is similar, both of which say that the Kumans have been sieging the city day and night, and the losses are heavy, but Nizhny Novgorod is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Immediately afterwards, the Kumans used some methods of siege, such as ants gathering ladders, rushing cars, tunnels, etc., but they all failed miserably - and then the Kumans began to work tirelessly, work tirelessly, and always attack in authentic ways - up to this point, the two pieces of information were the same." Egil paused at this point, but did not hear Aurora's cooperation question: Then? So he had to continue.
