Chapter 101 Hot Potato Monthly Pass)

Chapter 101 Hot Potato (Please give me a monthly ticket for the first update)

After receiving the title of Prince of Palestine, Egil still did not care much about himself. In addition to the holy city of Jerusalem, the Count of Tripoli and the Duke of Sinai, other territories were enfeoffed to the monarchs of other countries, or were transferred to the nobles under his command by other monarchs of Europa. ( ! )

In this way, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, the three most faithful kingdoms of the continental princes, were divided up. Egil got the largest piece of cake, the whole of Syria, including two big cities, Damascus and Aleppo, as well as large areas of cultivated fields adjacent to the Euphrates and the Tigris River. In Egypt, the largest and most excellent port city in Alexandria, and the most important target of the Crusade, Jerusalem.

In addition, it is a wasteland in the Sinai Peninsula. The monarchs of various countries really can't figure out what the other party is going to do. This land is neither suitable for planting nor any special production. It is just a simple wasteland.

But it doesn't matter. Or there is gold hidden under the land, silver or gems. But these are not the point. If Egil makes a name for that land, it is certainly envious and jealous. But what if that's the case? Can you still snatch things from Egil?

After the division of these three countries, the kings looked at the map and the remaining three kingdoms had a headache. Thebes, Saudi Arabia, Babylon... These areas are too far from the local area and there is no direct road to reach them. They are the birthplace of the Arabs, the holy places of Islam... various desert tribes... the severe climate... the places where tears are wiped out are almost the same. The enfeoffment is enfeoffed...

"What's wrong with everyone?! Although these places are a little bit harsh, isn't this exactly where we need them?! Teach the local people back to the Catholic path of truth. This is the greatest achievement!" Egil frowned as he saw the monarchs not speaking, and said.

However, no one is a fool these days. All the princes and princes have passed their passionate youth. They will not be shaken by the fact that Egil is so singular. Therefore, they still don't speak.

"Then you guys..." Egil was a little helpless. He then said: "Anyway, we should think of a way, right? We can't let these places continue to be occupied by pagans, right?"

"Cough, cough... I think our purpose in this Eastern Expedition is Jerusalem. It is already an unexpected surprise for Egypt to be able to eliminate Saladin and occupy Syria. As for the others, I really dare not expect it." Hungarian King Attila coughed twice and said to Egil.

"...Who do you think so?" Egil frowned and said - in fact, he also knew the difficulties of these territories and was difficult to manage. However, if these territories cannot be annexed, then in terms of system regulations, he would not have been considered to have destroyed the Fatima Dynasty. Then the final system award would not be won. This is a very important thing...

"It's really damn. I originally thought that Babylon could at least be divided into such a good land... After all, it was a fertile field that had been developed for a long time. A group of bastards! Don't you know that risks and benefits coexist?!" Egil was silent for a while, but heard a cough coming from beside him, and he knew who had opened his mind - or in other words, his head was squeezed by the door. He wanted to take over this hot potato.

Everyone turned around and looked at it. It was the emperor of Eastern Rome, Basil II of the Macedonian dynasty. He relied on his own way to be a sucker after he had been bigger than others.

"If you have no objection, then I will be willing to let the Kingdom of Babylon." Basil II said.

"What about Saudi Arabia and Thebes?" Egil asked immediately. But Basil II smiled but said nothing, as if he had not heard what Egil said.

The Eastern Roman emperor also had his own considerations. Compared with the continental countries, his capital was much more abundant, and the distance from the near-eastern regions was much closer. The things that the continental kingdom dared to swallow, but he dared to taste them. The Mesopotamian plains and Babylon. Although it was a place where pagans lived, the religious atmosphere of the Eastern Roman Empire was not as rigorous as that of the continental countries. On the land of Asia Minor, the Eastern Romans also learned how to govern the people of heretic faith.

In addition, Babylon has a flat land and a lower development is quite good. It borders the East and can obtain convenience on the trade route. With a little effort to manage it, you can get good returns. From a military perspective, it is also bordered by Ottoman Turkey. In the future, the empire will use troops to fight the Ottomans, and the main force will start from Asia Minor, and the here can also send troops to respond. It can form a pincer attack on the Ottomans and gain strategic advantages...

Basil II thought about it for a long time, and after careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to take Babylon, this land!

"If this guy knew that this land would soon become a bridgehead for the Mongol invasion west, I wonder if he would cry." Looking at Basil II's mysterious smile, Egil thought to himself.

So another kingdom was settled. Now there are only two regions of Saudi Arabia and Thebes. Egil yelled for a long time, but in the end no one was willing to take over the two kingdoms. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Then Thebes, I will serve as the Prince of Thebes - what do you think?!"

"Very very well, Your Majesty, you are the commander of the Crusader this time. There are two princes among your subordinates, but you have not got any help. This is really unfair. This is the best." French Philip agreed with both hands. The other princes also nodded repeatedly. Egil smiled bitterly, but had to swallow the bitter fruit.

Although the Kingdom of Thebes was close to the Nile River, it was convenient to plant and densely populated. However, it was adjacent to Ethiopia, another major East African country. This country was originally influenced by Rome during the heyday of the Roman Empire, and regarded Orthodox religion as the state religion. However, when the Roman Empire declined and the rise of the Arabs, it was influenced by Arabs and Islam and began to gradually accept Islamic beliefs. Today, the Ethiopian emperor has already positioned Islam as the state religion.

Although this black country was not civilized and had barren land, and even smelting was not good at all. The imperial military even used bronze equipment. However, its national strength was still quite strong. Even compared with second-rate European powers such as France and Burgundy, it was not much different. In addition, home battles... I believe that Egil will be "careful" from this country in the future. Winning, consuming national strength and losing prestige. This is simply better for the European monarch who dislikes Egil.

"Then, there is only the last country, Saudi Arabia. Who would like to take over? Or do we follow Egypt and Palestine and divide this country into several pieces?" Egir asked with a forced smile. However, the continental kings, before, Babylon and Thebes, who had better conditions, did not speak. At this moment, it was the turn of a thousand miles of barren land and a sea of ​​sand. They would not make any noise.

It was like Philip and Henry of Swabian, who were not in love with Egil, who were sarcastic and encouraged Egil to continue taking over the land. Egil was not a fool, and he did not eat this at all - just kidding, the Arabian Peninsula is the main base of the Arab nation. Although the European monarchs discussed here like they were talking about the division of this place, it seemed that the Arabian Peninsula was already his own meal. In fact, the Crusaders had never entered this place at all. What was originally like and what was still like, and the Arabs still had the final say.

In addition, this is also the birthplace of Islam and the place where the Prophets were born. The holy city of Mecca and Medina are much more important in the hearts of Muslims than Jerusalem. When the crusaders enter here, they will inevitably be subject to the strongest resistance of the other party.

As for geographical factors, it is even more trouble. The power of the Arabian desert is much stronger than that of Palestine adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea. It is also much wider. It is not impossible for the crusaders who are not familiar with the terrain to enter here and be wiped out all their troops...

"Everyone, do you really want to accept the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? This is the evil nest of pagans. If anyone can sweep the caves and plow the courtyards, then the glory and merits they receive will definitely not be worse than the recovery of Jerusalem!"

Even though Egil praised the Arabian Peninsula as a flower, the continental kings from high latitudes were indifferent. Egil himself did not want this piece of wasteland. In the end, among the six kingdoms divided by the Fatima Empire, the only place of this kingdom was unresolved. Egil spoke for a long time and the continental monarchs were also drowsy. It was already noon at this moment. Egil looked helpless and announced that the meeting would be temporarily dispersed and everyone would have dinner first. The continental monarchs, who were bombarded by Egil's fatigue, immediately ran away clean. Egil was so angry that they were very angry.

"So, what do you think I should deal with that damn land?" Egil hugged Aien, who was lying on his thigh, hugged her in his arms, and asked her this, while Aien, who had no idea what he was talking about, came out his tongue and licked Egil's face...
