July 1007 AD seemed to think that this year was too calm. In Germany, to be precise, in the Holy Roman Empire, the princes of the empire could not wait to break the peace after half a year of rest and preparation.

The nth civil war between the Holy Roman Empire began. The goal was to a new generation of Holy Roman Empire emperors. After the doomed negotiations and discussions and the hypocritical mediation and advice from the Pope, five general election emperors, Brandenburg, Hesse, Swabian, Bohemia and Milan, began to compete. In an instant, the Holy Roman Empire seemed to have returned to the turbulent years of the four countries competing for hegemony in the early century.

There are three people who hope to become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Henry, the son of the previous Holy Roman Emperor Frederick, the Duke of Swabian, annexed the Republic of Genoa and established the Duchy of Milan, the ambitious merchant Duke Francisco, and the Duke of Bavaria, the insidious and cunning lion Henry - this is a special person. He claimed that he did not compete for the throne on behalf of himself, but was commissioned by his friend and previous emperor Albert to represent the Duke of Austria. Frederick II, who is just eight years old, competed.

Of course, in addition to the three candidates who wanted to become emperors, there was also a very helpless guy who did not want to become a candidate but was selected. That is, Egil, Scadra Grimson, Brandenburg and Hessen of the Norman Empire voted to support Egil as the new Holy Roman Emperor. Don’t forget that Egil also holds the title of Duke of North Saxony and is the legitimate imperial electoral.

In this way, without his knowledge, Egil was brought to the front by his two vassal states. In addition, although he established a new kingdom, Charles, the Burgundy king who also had a title of a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, chose to support Egil as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire for some purpose.

"What's going on?! I don't want to be dragged by those things now. Can't it be quieter if I'm a little quieter?! It's so damn!!" However, when Egil got the news, he did not feel happy, but cursed. A few days ago, Nemulis had sent information, and the Mongolian Khan Temujin led a million-strong army to the Kalmyk Centaur tribe. It would be said that Kalmyk would become a historical term in a few months.

Once the Kalmyk Centaur was defeated, then the Norman Empire would face this terrifying country. In this case, Egil naturally hopes to maintain stability in the continental area so that he can concentrate his efforts to face this behemoth. He does not want the internal disputes of the Holy Roman Empire to hold back his hands and feet.

Although the title of Holy Roman Emperor seemed very attractive, it took a lot of effort to govern this country with many princes and internal disorder. Egil did not want to invest too much in a little fame.

However, under this situation, he seemed to be in a difficult situation.

"What?! That Egil wanted to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire?! That would never be allowed to happen!" Although Egil did not speak, many people regarded the actions of the Brandenburg Hessen as Egil's instructor. Therefore, they became extremely nervous. The Roman Catholic Church, which had long been afraid of Egil, France, which had a lot of hatred with Egil, the Holy Roman Empire princes of Southern Germany, and the commercial city-state of Northern Italy. These people were anxious when they heard that Egil wanted to ask for another crown.

"But I really don't mean this - at least not yet."

Egil, one of the parties involved, felt that he was wronged. He seemed to be such a peaceful and peaceful person. Why are he often suspected of being a demon king who endangers the security of the world? He is so bullying.

That's almost that. After getting the news, Egil immediately wrote a letter to the king of the continental countries and the Pope Gregory. He repeatedly stated that he did not mean to obtain the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. He asked them not to worry. For Hesse, Brandenburg and Burgundy, the three countries, Egil also took a pacification method. He told them: "It's not the time, and the time has not come." Let them wait patiently.

However, Egil's approach confuses all the continental countries.

"What does Your Majesty want to do? Why don't you seize such a great opportunity?!" Lucivid, the Duke of Hesse who completely regarded himself as a vassal of the Norman Empire, was puzzled after receiving a letter from Egil, asking him not to act rashly. In his opinion, the only external troubles now, the pagan Arabs have been wilted. Another empire capable of intervening, Eastern Rome is now busy with its own affairs and most of them will not participate. Except for these two, other countries are small roles compared to the Norman Empire. It is very easy to deal with.

Now, Egil has fame, strength, and status and status. Two princes of North Germany, plus Burgundy and Egil himself, can get four votes. Then the righteousness is on Egil's side. Taking this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and even further, unify Europe and establish another great empire that summarizes the West, is not a dream. However, what is Egil hesitating about now?

This is what others want to know. Egil, although many people call him a madman, a psychopath and an incomparable madman behind his back, deep down, even a three-year-old or a real psychopath must admit that Egil is talented and ruthless, and is a very difficult person to deal with. Germany, the Holy Roman Empire was placed in front of Egil, but this guy put down his knife and fork and said that I am a vegetarian. Who believes this thing?!

"There is definitely a conspiracy! Order the army to speed up! Hurry back home as soon as possible. We might be going to fight the Normans soon!" After receiving the news, we finally passed the Dardanelles Strait and are now pursuing life in the Balkans and are about to die. The French King Philip II, who is about to die, issued an order like this. In return, he was wailing and more deserters. This guy could not trust Norman's ship. He chose to take the land route and had been floating outside for more than half a year, but now he has only walked halfway. If you want to go back to France, then fight Norman again... This is not reliable no matter how you think about it.

Philip now regrets not falling. However, since he chose the wrong choice, there is no medicine for regret in the world. He can only take one step at a time.

In such an atmosphere, Egil, who had done a lot of bad things, had a cunning impression in the hearts of the European royal family. Pope Gregory VII at that time commented on Egil as such: He said "yes" and "no." He said "no" and "yes" and "yes". Therefore, although Egil strongly denied it, the continental countries did not believe it at all. On the contrary, they tightened the connection and moved towards union.

Finally, in August, when Egil wrote a second letter to the kings of the continental countries, reiterating that he had no intention of the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, a major alliance covering the entire Southern Germany and Northern Italy and the Kingdom of France joined, and behind him was Pope Gregory VII.

Although there were many conflicts within the alliance, the three Holy Roman princes, Henry of Swabian, Henry of Bavaria, and Francisco of Milan were also opponents competing for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. Milan and another franchise in Northern Italy were also enemies and rivals. The Holy Roman Empire and Northern Italy also had many evils with France. However, under the pressure of the Holy Norman Empire, this super invincible behemoth, these countries resolutely abandoned their past grudges and went to unite.

"If that guy really won the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, then there will be no benefit for everyone in the future. It would be better to fight hard, and you might as well defeat him and let the madman guard his territory in the north. Never let him come to the south!" At that time, at the secret meeting of the Roman Catholic Church, the conversation of Francisco, Duke of Milan, resonated with the princes of the nations.

In this way, an absurd alliance that, under false pressure, was born with false enemies as opponents and advancing towards false goals.

It is worth mentioning that the current Duke of Austria is also the previous emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and Frederick II, the son of Albert II, did not participate in this alliance. Of course, this does not mean how smart, cowardly, or conscious of the current affairs of the eight-year-old child is. Now in these two countries, Bohemia and Austria have the final say, the previous queen, or the current queen, the daughter of the previous Duke of Bohemia, Albert II's wife, Frederick's mother Maria, and Theresa.

The reason for this strong woman is quite simple: it is just a group of clowns. How could a group of mobs be the opponent of the hungry wolf in the north? Instead of joining such a hopeless alliance, it is better to stay out of the matter and preserve your strength so that you can gain a better position after the war.

In this way, in mid-August, when Egil was caught off guard because of this incident and was overwhelmed, the other party, a mob known as the Southern European Holy Alliance, had already begun to swear an oath to go out, and his troops were divided into three groups and heading towards the territory of the Norman Empire.

"A bunch of scum! I thought I was really afraid of what you did?!" When Egil received the news, the emperor overturned the table in anger and roared. (To be continued.
