Chapter 62 Failed to Save
Egil walked around the city of Naples for a few times, and when he saw something like killing, robbery, he did not make the so-called "prank" again. Feng Qingyun turned a blind eye to all these things, as if nothing could attract his attention. Mafeo, Earl of Bologna, ran over excitedly and told Egil that after Nalcis was caught by him, Egil said. He thought to himself: Who among the entire coalition forces did not think that this Eastern Roman commander was captured by himself.
Unexpectedly, this guy got cheaper in the end. But speaking of it, this is a good result.
"Let's go and have a look." After Egil said this, he turned his horse's head and left another street under the guidance of Mafeo and Bologna soldiers.
However, Egil missed an opportunity when he left. He knew something less. At this moment, the fleet that set off from Sicily for Naples turned around at the port of Naples, and then returned. Harold, who was standing at the bow of the ship, sighed in his heart: Unexpectedly, he was still one step too late in the end. If the dead eunuch could last for half a day, he could still escape to Sicily on a boat. Forget it, just think that he was not lucky.
In this way, Harold sold Nalsis once, saved Nalsis once, and sold Nalsis once again. When he wanted to save Nalsis again for the second time, he found that Nalsis could no longer save...
A little depressed.
Moreover, Harold was very surprised that the coalition forces could break through Naples in such a short time, and the garrison system of Naples was improved, with a total of about 30,000 troops.
Narcis is not a mediocre person. He didn't even keep it for a month. This...
So Harold became even more afraid of His Majesty Egil who he "remembered".
And he began to seriously consider his own way out: the Valangi people were a branch of the Eastern European prairie migrated from Scandinavia to the prairie. Although they were a little farther away from the Scandinavian land, the connection between the Valangi people and the Vikings in Scandinavia land has never been cut off.
The leader of the Varangi mercenary was also a very important Viking leader. Some Varangi mercenaries were even successfully elected as the Grand Duke of Norway. When Varangi was short of his number, they would go to Scandinavia to recruit soldiers. In fact, Harold did this. Some of the bitter and cold places on the Scandinavia were powerful, and the poor and eager to make a fortune were eager to join his mercenary organization.
But all this became different a few years ago. To be precise, it was an emerging and powerful Norman Kingdom unified the entire Scandinavian Peninsula and improved the lives of local residents. After that, fewer and fewer people were willing to come out to make a fortune. Even if they wanted to go out to make a fortune, they had more choices. The best thing was to join Egil's army. Otherwise, it would be a good choice to be a pirate in the fleet. Recently, the navy was expanded and the lack of personnel was very powerful. If it really didn't work, the garrison legions in various places was also a choice.
Egil himself was much higher than Harold's titles, and he was the king of Norman, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and England: the three grand dukes of Livonia, Prussia, and Novosibirsk: Normandy, Southern Scandinavia, Bo Melania, as well as the titles of the Grand Priest of the Teutonic Knights, Gothborg, Biard and Bergen, and the four earls of Oslo. Such a terrifying series of titles made the so-called commander of the Valangi Guard and the leader of the Varangi tribe, appear dull.
Harold dared to fight before because he felt that it didn't matter how many mercenaries he killed, because Scandinavia was like a super barracks, which would continuously transport new mercenaries to him. But now, Harold was very afraid. He killed one less and one less pair if he killed two more. In the previous battle of Naples, if Harold hadn't known that Egil was against him, he would not have agreed to Nalcis's idea and put his troops in front of the entire formation.
Therefore, Harold didn't say anything, but he hated Egil in his heart. It is not difficult to explain that sincerity and oppose Egil.
But what should we do next? Will we continue to fight against Egil? The Norman Kingdom is at its peak. How can he, a small mercenary leader, fight against him? But what should we do if we don’t fight? Surrender?! It’s damn it, to surrender with the Valangi people, Harold really can’t do such a thing! He is also a Viking nobleman! He also has the right to be elected King of Norway! Harold doesn’t want to give up this right. He is a vassal of the Norman Kingdom!
Finally, after thinking about it, Harold went to drink.
At this moment, the camera turned to Naples again. After walking into a warehouse that was originally set up as a granary, Egil finally saw his opponent who had faced him several games. In a short time, he moved from middle-aged to the elderly eunuch Narcis. This guy, who was originally empty and unconscious and seemed to be stupid, also recovered a little after hearing that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and King Norman was about to see him.
It's just that it still seems very sleepy.
"Your Excellency, is it Narcis?" Egil asked.
"…That's right." Nalsis nodded, and then couldn't help asking, "Then, are you His Majesty Egil?"
"Indeed." Egil nodded.
“What is your age this year?”
When Egil was a little angry when he heard Nalcis ask the question in this column, he still answered Nalcis's question: "Yu is nineteen years old this year. "He is so young?" Nalcis felt a little unbelievable. Then he fell into a state of dull eyes and empty eyes. Egil also felt bored, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
"That... Your Majesty, what do you think will be better for this person?" Mafeo next to him asked hurriedly.
"He is your prisoner, and you can do whatever you want. Whether you kill him or keep him for ransom or release him or her.
All is OK." Egil's indifferent statement made Mafeo distressed. The first two options would definitely offend the Eastern Roman Empire, while the latter option would inevitably offend the coalition. Although this war seems to be the advantage of the coalition. However, the main force in Eastern Rome has not been dispatched. Therefore, it is hard to say who will win and lose in the end. Therefore, Mafeo is sincere and does not want to offend anyone before. Before, he looked at Nalcis as a great contribution. However, now it seems that it is a huge trouble.
Once again, it was difficult for the poor Count of Bologna, Egil, as usual, sent a guard knight to find a well-preserved villa in Naples as his temporary palace. But the final result surprised Egil. After a series of searches, the guard knights all ran back to report in embarrassment, saying that there seemed to be no buildings in the entire city of Naples that meet Egil's requirements.
Egil was very surprised when he heard the news: in the battles of Marseille, Stockholm, and even in the first battles of Bergen, Egil wanted to find a complete house from the city, and it would not be a big problem to live there.
But at this moment, perhaps the attack on the city of Naples was severely damaged, or perhaps because of Egil's ten-day order to massacre the soldiers?
However, no matter what, Egil didn't want to stay in Naples anymore. Even saying that not being able to find a house that meets his requirements in Naples made him feel relieved. So Egil walked out of Naples again and looked back at the city soldiers who were suffering from a massacre and were about to be burned soon. Egil felt a little moved. Then he rode his horse and ran towards his camp.
Along the way, the guards also felt the inexplicable depression of their lords, so no one was in the mood to joke. The dull atmosphere made Egil feel even more unhappy.
Speaking of which, this is the first time, Egil felt that it was unpleasant to be followed by a group of loyal knights who could block swords and swords for him at any time. So, as soon as he returned to the camp, Egil waved his hand and let the guard knights disperse.
The knights were surprised, but they did not dare to violate Egil's order. Thinking about it, this was in their own camp, and they were secretly protected by many Norman killers, so it should be nothing serious. Besides, the lord of their own bad temper, if they go up to persuade them, they may be scolded or even punished by the lord. So no one was so embarrassed. They all went back to their camp to play bridge, or drink and compete.
In this way, Egil was left alone, and Egil felt lonely. The camp was empty. Most of the soldiers and even other commanders of the coalition forces went to Naples to make a fortune. In fact, if it weren't for the Normans' rules that the robbery had to be handed over half to the king. Egil would have been unable to help but go to Naples to rob.
There was no one everywhere. Egil sighed softly, remembering someone he never wanted to see or dared not see at this time. Finally, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and walked towards her camp.@.
