The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Seeing the cavalry behind them falling into chaos, the cavalry who had rushed forward, led by their captain, had to turn back and charge towards these heretics to relieve the soldiers from their plight.

Just when they were in trouble, Hus's main force had already engaged the opponent. The arrows crisscrossed in the sky were as dense as thick dark clouds. When they turned into a rain of arrows and fell to both sides, they took away fresh lives.

The squad leaders kept shouting: "Stand still! Hold still! Don't worry!..." Preventing the soldiers from being impulsive would not only easily alert the enemy, but also disrupt the team's overall defense, leading to unnecessary increases in casualties.

The Crusaders finally began to run, roaring and striding toward the waiting enemy. They stepped over the corpses of their comrades and advanced so fast that many Hussite soldiers did not react. They suddenly hit the shield wall of the military formation, and immediately knocked numerous cracks in the shield wall. For a moment, soldiers from both sides clashed with shields and spears, dust and mist filled the air, and the sound of killing was loud...

The Privy Council finally decided not to send troops and only provided diplomatic support to the Berlin Alliance. Now the empire needs to rest and stop sending troops.

Of course, not sending troops does not mean doing nothing. There are still a series of things waiting for them to do in the country. The city of Jerusalem is being rebuilt at a very fast speed. Pagans were also allowed to come here for pilgrimage, so that they could collect tolls from it.

Constantinople has become the most economically developed place in the empire, with a large number of workshops opened here, as well as a large number of shops and business stations. Thousands of people came to settle here every year, and as medical conditions improved, the birth rate also began to increase. The emperor followed this trend and began to discuss plans with the queen.

When Navalny came to Constantinople, he saw such a scene. There were many merchant ships parked in the port, which was even a bit crowded. Workers were rushing back and forth on the dock, constantly carrying goods, which seemed a bit busy, and occasionally... When something goes wrong, from time to time you can see the ship owner yelling and even causing some minor conflicts, so the patrol team has been maintaining order at the pier. It can be seen that the prosperity here is not comparable to Munich.

When he kept seeing an endless stream of ships coming and going from all directions around the passenger ship, it seemed as if they were in a prosperous port, but in fact they were on the vast sea, but the Romanians completely blocked this sea area. It became their inland sea.

I recall that in those days, countries such as Venice, Genoa, and Florence controlled the ocean here. I didn’t expect that things have suddenly changed now. It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

He came to deliver compensation to the emperor. Perhaps knowing that Sigismund was short of money, Peter deliberately delayed his repayment time. Today is the first repayment, a total of 250,000 lei, which Sigismund finally made up. Delivered by Navalny himself to Constantinople.

The city is also quite lively, and Romanians, Armenians, Russians, Neapolitans, Hungarians can be seen everywhere on the streets... There are actually many businessmen from Egypt here. However, Navalny was not surprised. After all, Romania, with its vast territory, large population and rich resources, provided huge business opportunities for local businessmen, and these greedy businessmen flocked to it.

There are also many horse-drawn carriages transporting guests in the city. Although their buttocks hurt after sitting for a long time, many people are still willing to choose horse-drawn carriages as transportation. Navalny called a car. The driver was an Anatolian and was not very talkative, but under his deliberate questioning, he also revealed a lot of information.

Initially, when they were first annexed by Romania, the Anatolians resisted Romanian rule, and a relative of the coachman died in a riot. But the swords and spears of the Roman soldiers gave them a taste of pain, and they gradually changed their methods and chose to fight silently. Even though Ni, the administrator appointed by the Roman Empire, claimed that "according to the Romanian decree, the tribes will be abolished and given their personal independence...", he was still doubtful, and he was still waiting to see the jokes of the Romanians, because although they were few, According to the decree stated by the chief, if everyone is allocated land, it will not be enough at all.

But the short-sighted Anatolians did not expect that the chief executive actually divided them, and it was not barren mountainous land, but plain land not far from them. Those lands used to belong to other tribes, but now they are divided among them. Under the governance of the unified Roman Empire, they felt the benefits of joining Romania for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, the second benefit followed, "All subjects who become Romania are exempt from tax for two consecutive years!" In addition, the administrator also told them, "Their land can be rented and sold, and they can go to other places for work. As long as they continue to be loyal to the empire, their descendants can still serve as officials."

Then the Anatolians felt the third benefit of joining Romania. The imperial government wanted to build roads in the interior. Everyone was dubious, but the empire directly sent people in. This time, they did not stand and watch the excitement, but actively Actively join the road construction team.

As Navalny listened, the expression on his face gradually became solemn. From the coachman's mouth, he felt that the Anatolians identified with the Roman Empire. If they were like this, would the Armenians and Syrians be the same?

Romania's strong power has put pressure on Western Europe, and their strong ability to assimilate has made Navalny even more frightened. The driver, who was intrigued by Navalny, talked about how much he liked Constantinople. The various scenery and local prosperity made them linger there. No city could be more prosperous than this.

When he came to the inner city, Navalny saw the dazzling statue of Justinian, which made him feel as if he was in Augsburg, but it was not as big as here, and Constantinople had many peculiar buildings, such as huge water wheels, automatic fountains, triumphal arches representing the glory of Rome, different arenas, and libraries with unique shapes and profound meanings, which made his eyes overwhelmed.

Navalny knew that the Bartland Dynasty had been established for less than 30 years, but at this moment he had an illusion: the city of Constantinople had never fallen and remained the same.

Finally they arrived in front of the imperial palace with a double-headed eagle flag flying high. Navalny and another deputy envoy were preparing to meet the Roman emperor.
