In this way, Egil has people to rely on to support the scene, both in the old lair and in the second battlefield. He can also leisurely lead the army south to rob - I mean saving Rome.

It is very capable to convince Burgundy. But Charles, the reckless duke of xing Greece, is quite simple. The real problem Egil has to face is how to convince the union between Burgundy and France.

In fact, these two countries have not signed a peace treaty yet. In other words, these two countries are still in a state of war. Especially the weak and the strong are strong. France is now in a mess. The troops that can be mobilized are only about 10,000. On the contrary, in the previous wars, Burgundy was not hurt. It is not a big deal to mobilize an army of 30,000 and 50,000.

So Egil went around and bypassed King Philip II of France and found Edward, Duke of Aquitaine, on the condition of reducing all debts and issuing low-interest loans, and invited him to join his alliance.

The reason why Edward was so generous was because now is different from the past. He has broad vision and looked down on Aquitaine's compensation. In addition, more than half of the time has passed. Aquitaine has also made people's livelihood declining. Edward hangs it in a hurry. It just so happened that Edward has such a place to use him. Therefore, he let him go.

After that, King Philip II of France was surprised to find that several powerful Dukes of France, Aquitaine, Burgundy, and Brittany, had once again gone toward union. He was then scared. Egil asked again, and Philip II agreed with the flow.

On February 8, 1003, the establishment of the Norman French-Burgundy First Aquitaine Alliance marks the beginning of union in the entire Europe. It also marks the entry of a new stage in the war between Catholicism and Orthodox Church.

The monarch of the Three Kingdoms and a duke gathered in the southwestern French city of Lyon. He swore an alliance in the Lyon Cathedral to jointly rescue the danger of the world of Christ. He pulled up the crusade flag with the red cross on white.

Among these three kingdoms, Egil has many soldiers, and has great reputation. In addition, the miracle of the public trial in Normandy last year. Everyone recommended Egil as the commander of the coalition. Egil was also unscrupulous. With an attitude of making the pursuing low-key and low-key, low-key is the king, but he didn't know that he had a sarcastic face and was born annoying idiots incomprehensible. He was very happy to become the commander of this coalition.

The four-nation coalition army had a total of 100,000 troops. Among them, Egil's Norman army occupied nearly half. The remaining ones included the 25,000 troops in Burgundy and the 10,000 Swiss mercenaries hired from Switzerland, the 15,000 troops in France, and the 5,000 troops in Aquitaine. In addition, some other wandering knights, refugees, devouts, etc., which were really a big army.

On this side, the four-nation coalition went south. When discussing the march route, France Philip II had a sensation. It was suggested that the army continue to move south and rest in Marseille, and then cross the territory of the Renaya from the south and follow the route of the Western Alps to enter Italy. Egil knew that Philip II wanted to use the coalition forces to threaten Renaya and return Marseille. But he did not say it out loud. He just smiled and nodded, agreeing with Philip II's proposal.

The monarchs of the other two countries, whether Charles or Edward, were not fools. Naturally, they understood Philip II's meaning. However, they were quite disliked Northern Italy, a group of so-called "republics" that did not accept the kingship. The wealth of the Renos also aroused the covetousness of the monarchs of these two countries. After making the decision: "Marseille will be the King of France, half of the trophy will be the King of Norman, 40% of the Duke of Burgundy, and 10% of the Duke of Aquitaine...", everyone was very happy and expressed their willingness to help the King of France fight against the damn merchants.

From Egil's promise to the Holy See, to the four-nation coalition forces heading south. Several months have passed. In order to increase the danger of the Holy See, Egil's Roman savior has a little more weight. He also sent people to assassinate the only mercenary general in the Holy See who could lead troops to defeat the invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire.

But the Holy See has not fallen yet!

It hasn't fallen yet!!

Egil thought of delaying time. It would be best to appear in the suburbs of the city as a savior when Rome was about to fall, and then command the coalition forces to defeat the Greeks. In this way, both fame and fortune will be gained. There will be both real and real.

However, the Roman Catholic Church could still withstand it. It was not as Egil imagined that the world had asked for help to Egil forty-eight letters.

Egil naturally didn't know that in fact, the situation in the Roman Catholic Church was already very dangerous. After further increase in troops, tens of thousands of Eastern Roman troops siege the city of Roman. They used stone catapults, stone crossbows, and sky-long attacks. The Roman mercenaries and alien armed forces were in chaos because they lost their unified commander.

It is impossible to even defend the city. It is useless to have tens of thousands of troops.

At the critical moment, Innocent III was ruthless and personally held the golden box containing the holy bones and the shroud of the holy wall to the top of the Roman city to boost morale. This made the defenders burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and chopped down the Eastern Roman army.

Immediately afterwards, Innocent III completely removed the so-called pope's reserve. He sent a large number of mercenaries to go door to door. He arrested all the civilians, nobles, and priests who were related to Eastern Rome, who might be internal or spies, and killed them without interrogation. Then he gave half of their accumulated wealth to the holy treasury and the other half to the defenders to motivate morale.

The Roman Catholic Church just tingled.

The violent purges such as the Pope also greatly hindered the actions of the Norman spies. This is why Egil did not receive the news as soon as possible.

"It's really strange." Thirty miles away from Marseille, in the coalition camp, Egil listened carefully to the sound of other soldiers and camp prostitutes in other tents hundreds of meters away, knocking on the table and talking to himself.

"What is your majesty strange?" said Philip II, the King of France, who was sitting next to Egil.
