Chapter 33 Continue the Offensive

He drove the spy leader who had become corrupt when he didn't know when it started. Egil rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.

If he simply embezzled a little activity fund, the emperor would probably just turn a blind eye and indulge this bastard a little. After all, he was still counting on this dog to help him bite people. However, this guy did some very bad things, which made Egil a little impatient with him...

"This man uses his power to seek personal gain - if this is the case alone, I won't care. But this man's eating habits are unbearable. He uses the subordinate institutions of the intelligence network, the integrated gangsters doing a lot of disgusting transactions, smuggling, trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, etc. - Of course, what's more excessive is that this bastard does not pay taxes to me - and it also violates the Imperial Law, and those illegal income should be half of my money."

Once, the emperor complained to the eldest princess like this. At the end, he gained Aurora's charming eyes and +5 contempt.

"Okay okay." Egil shrugged: "In addition, illegal and disorderly discipline, disrupting market order, and smuggling materials from hostile countries have infringed on national interests. These things are also worth noting. This guy's organization has become a cancer of the empire in a sense. What I want is an intelligence system all over the world. What I want is an organ that can quickly convey messages like a nervous system. It is not a criminal network that parasitizes nutrition on the empire, it is not what I want."

"Then why not just kill him?" Egil began to discuss the matter. Aurora also became serious and then said this. It sounded very simple and direct.

So Egil responded with +5's contempt.

"It's so simple to be a spy network? Change people? Who? If you are a person inside the system, then you will change the soup or not. Airborne one? Then you have to endure the consequences of the intelligence system not working properly, even paralyzing, or even collapse. If it weren't for this, all eight Nemulis would die. Do you think I have a good temper?"

"What should I do?" Aurora continued to ask after hearing Egil say this.

"When the world is pacified, it is time to kill the donkey." The emperor said confidently.

"...You are really direct." Aurora was a little speechless when she heard Egil say this - of course, there was actually another reason Egil didn't say it. In this era, Emperor Norman had been on the custody for nearly fifteen years. There were only a few people who followed him at first. It also made people feel a little sad.

Archbishop Peter was also dissatisfied with his political differences with Egil. In addition, he also withdrew from politics for self-protection. Now he lives a semi-seclusion in the Krakow Cathedral. He can't meet him at a casual time. At the New Year's party, the emperor met him. The archbishop, who was originally sturdy like a cow, now had wrinkles and old spots on his face. He walked tremblingly. Seeing the emperor who was growing more and more powerful, he didn't even dare to say anything. Except for "Yes, yes, long live the emperor," he lost his words. It made people feel very pitiful.

The Death Knight Alpha verified the prophecy of Emperor Norman in the war between the Empire and the Mongols. He died in the chaos and was stepped into flesh mud by the Mongolian cavalry. His black iron armor was split into pieces. The long sword and spear were taken away by the Mongols and became trophy. After the war, the corpse was collected. Only a few black steel pieces were found. There was nothing else. A generation of powerful generals fell here, leaving only a tomb in the Royal Military Cemetery outside Krakow. As well as an epitaph written by the emperor himself: This is a powerful knight, who had been born and died for me.

The captain of the Longbow Soldier Robin Hood, because of the development of crossbows and artillery in recent times, the heavy armor of the armor has reduced the strategic value of the Longbow and is depressed. His health is getting worse and worse, and his spirit is also very bad. He suffered from a serious illness a few years ago and almost died. Egil went to his house to visit him in person. At that time, the Robin Hood who was unconscious on the hospital bed was already withered and thin and was left with only a pair of bones. Where is the appearance of a general of magic arrows? Not to mention pulling a bow and shooting arrows, he can't even get out of bed and walk...

The clerk Talleyran was just promoted to viscount before the New Year. However, his title was improved and his status decreased a lot. After gaining the system authority, the emperor immediately replaced this guy with a group of loyal clerks and servants. Looking back, it seemed that he had not met him for a long time. The last time he got news from him was that he accidentally saw a document "The security environment in the capital has deteriorated, and the frustrated nobles were rampant. He violated the law and discipline..." In the end, the emperor seemed to have approved a strict investigation and prosecution. I don't know if it was closed or cut...

Marshal Carter died earlier. When the Black Death attacked, he contracted this incurable disease. After lying down, he could not get up again. The body has been buried on the island of Malta in the past two years. The emperor specially arranged a cemetery for him. The birds sing and flowers scented, and the scenery was beautiful. For the heroes to rest in peace...

Just like that, Nemulis became the only remaining general who started his career under the command of Emperor Norman. For this reason, the emperor did not want to get him casually. Instead, he wanted to retire with a relatively peaceful way. This way everyone looked good.

During this period, the emperor also gave this person a lot of tips openly and secretly. But for some reason, was it really confused by power and could not understand, or was there another plan. Nemulis did not take the initiative and obediently submit his resignation as Egil thought. So the emperor's patience gradually disappeared... He decided to complete everything (conquer the entire Western world and defeat the Mongol invasion again, so that the empire was the advantage in the battle with the East). He gave Nemulis to commit suicide.

Well, it is not the time to say this. While the emperor was taken away by his spy leader and obtained news from the East, the siege of Constantinople was still in full swing. The Normans tried every means to occupy Constantinople. The soldiers and civilians of Constantinople fought for their lives. The two sides fought hard.

After realizing that the Normans were constantly attacking, they wanted to put their troops in fatigue and collapse without fighting. Queen Liliannu began to change her strategy. She spent a certain amount of time adding up nearly 300,000 residents in Constantinople - no matter whether they are men or women or young, and mixed them with the 50,000 troops in her hands. She formed eight new legions.

The Queen asked each of her legions to fight for six hours continuously. After six hours, a new legion would be replaced by them. This would be rotated once every two days to deal with the continuous attacks of the Normans.

In the first few days, the newly formed legion had a certain amount of chaos. At night, due to physical discomfort, the soldiers' physical strength and mood were not very good. This allowed the Normans to seize the opportunity, gain a certain advantage, and achieve a little victory.

But then, within the second two days, the Legion seemed to have mastered a little trick. They fought better and were able to play a game with the Normans. On the third two days, and sometimes, the Constantinople's army could gain a little bit of advantage. Of course, at that time, some abnormal situations would occur - for example, the army of our side suddenly became weaker, and morale would inexplicably decline. Or the combat effectiveness of the Norman army suddenly increased. In this way, the previous advantage would soon disappear.

"However, if we continue to develop at this level, we should be able to defend Constantinople." After ten days of continuous battle, Liliannu calculated and found that although the Galata Fortress on the north side of the Golden Horn Bay had fallen, Golden Horn Bay had almost become an inland river for the Normans. One-third of the towers were occupied on the north side of the city wall. Constantinople suffered about 30,000 casualties - but the city - despite being riddled with holes and exhausted, it was still in the hands of the Romans.

"Ahhhh... If it continues to develop to this extent, I will not be able to conquer Constantinople." At the same time, after considering the situation of the war, Emperor Norman expressed his feelings with most similar words, but the content was completely opposite.

"What should I do?" Hearing Egil say this. Artoria, Pamame, Princia, and Maria, who were standing next to him, Sonia all turned to look at him. Aien, who was lying on his knees and breathing, raised her head in response.

Speaking of which, with the continuous decline of talents and generals around Egil, there are more and more women around him...

"Speaking of this, Aurora also began to urge. Logistical supply began to be difficult. Almost unable to support it. If we continue to develop like this, we will go hungry." Egil continued: "And General Wende in the Kazan area also sent information, and the Mongols might have to launch another expedition. They probably would not be able to support it."

"So what?" Artoria seemed a little nervous when she heard the word "hungry", and her tone became much more anxious.

"So... someone came to report just now and said that the Constantinople's side sent another messenger to discuss peace with us. Do you think it's better to chop him up or fry him in a frying pan?"
