The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Over the next week, Stanissa captured several towns one after another, and the entire north of Sardinia had fallen.

Cagliari finally knew that the Roman army was coming, and hurriedly organized the army to set off north. However, because the enemy came too quickly, and the peasants who escaped said that the residents did not dare to go, they only hoped that the army could expel them.

The troops moved northward, culminating in an encounter at Giralza. Sardinia's army was mainly composed of civilians and temporarily recruited soldiers, and there were 100 nobles in it. After the fall of Rome, the weapons here began to improve. Although the comparison with Aragon was still not enough, it was already a considerable leap.

The Sardinian cavalry took the lead in the battle. They still maintained the spirit of chivalry and charged the Roman army desperately.

"Artillery ready, fire!"

The small Roman artillery fired at the opponent, and the horse was frightened and fell, taking the people on it with it.

The same way, the same end, their proud chivalry was shattered in front of the artillery. Their first resistance failed.

Because there were not enough soldiers, they attacked Cagliari directly after asking Rome for more reinforcements. The local farms and mines were unable to fight back against the army. Only the lords' castles and manors could barely protect their territories by relying on their own defenses, but they did not dare to go out, for fear that the only card that could protect them was gone.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Aragorn was furious because of the death of Martin I. Aragorn was involved in a succession war. Even in the previous meetings, the committee sent representatives.

"We have to change our plan. If this continues, they will definitely attack Barcelona. We must send troops first."

"But we have already discussed with Castile and Portugal to send troops together."

"If we don't send troops now, we will regret it when they attack Barcelona."

There were all kinds of quarrels in the committee, and they didn't have much interest in Sardinia. Anyway, their family property was in Aragon, where they were just barbarians.

However, its geographical location meant that they could not abandon Sardinia, so they could only send troops in advance. And a suitable commander must be found for it.

But before their discussion could be settled, Stanissa's army continued to move south. After solving the large army, the Roman army looted the towns along the way. Half a month after landing in Sardinia, Cagliari surrendered, and Rome controlled the entire Sardinia.

Although they nominally control the entire island, the guerrillas above still have to deal with them, from the plains to the deep mountains and old forests. The Roman army began to suppress rebellions every day, and the church was banned. It was also promised that the local nobles could maintain their privileges and property, as long as they came out to help the empire maintain order.

Thinking about it carefully, I am also a member of the indigenous people. Whoever rules over my head does not affect me. Maybe this is better. Some nobles began to turn to Rome, and others wavered.

Milan and Genoa noticed the actions of the Roman army and began to urge the armies of other countries to come to protect them. They also said that if they were finished, you would not be much better.

This threat is also quite big. No one knows how big Rome's appetite is. They only know that it has claims all over Europe. Only by defeating them completely can they survive.

But it still takes time to send troops to various places. Until then, they can only rely on themselves. Especially the bishopric near Rome. Who doesn’t know that the Roman army hated it the most when they plundered this place? If you want to trade, you have to pay a bargain price. They could only live off the output of the monastery and church. The Pope saw their pity and helped them a little.

Now the Roman army is coming again. They can't hold on any longer. How about you show mercy and go around?

Genoa also feels that this cannot be done anymore. If the country is really destroyed, their political talents will not be able to be used. But their business should be good after joining. This is really a dilemma.

However, the nobles and wealthy businessmen decided to support Shinra. For no reason, the nobles lent them a lot of money, and the whole city almost went bankrupt. At least get it back.

The West is in such chaos, and the East is even more chaotic. Relying on his control of Novgrod and seizing the Finnish region, Michael began to frame the boyars who were close to Lithuania, suppressed them and confiscated their property on the grounds of disrespect to the Grand Duke of Moscow.

Livonia was also often under pressure from Novgorod. Moscow also connived with Michael. In order to create a pro-Western Grand Duke, Livonia and Lithuania secretly supported Yuri's rise to power. Those who wanted to restore the old system Boyar also supported him. They were going to arrest Mihai, pronounce his crime and drive him out. Then they would tell the world about his crime, so that nothing would go wrong and Yuri could successfully inherit the position of Grand Duke of Moscow.

The plan was perfect, but problems arose in the first step. How could they capture Mihai quickly? Capturing territory for Moscow made his prestige at the peak. The Grand Duke trusted him very much and put him in charge of northern affairs. He also confiscated most of the boyar's property and gave it to the Grand Duke. It was simply fantastic for the Grand Duke to agree.

Michael changed the lands of the large landowners in the north into smaller yeoman lands. The peasants had to serve and pay taxes to Michael. They were directly responsible to the consuls, thus maintaining their fighting capacity. And used artillery to attack their fortress, facing Livonia, they could quickly capture it.

He has also heard about what happened in the south. Attacks from other countries that overestimate their capabilities in an attempt to regain their glory are destined to be impossible to succeed. What he has to do now is to stabilize the family's power. I heard that the eldest brother has gone south to Jerusalem to fight for the family. According to the plan, Mihai needs to obtain the position of Grand Duke of Moscow before he is eligible to compete for other places. He is doing it now.

The representatives from Munich left one after another, and they were preparing their armies. According to their plan, the Austrian army attacked Hungary, the Polish-Lithuanian army attacked Moscow, the HRE, Orleans and Burgundian armies entered the Apennine Peninsula along Milan, and Iberia It is to attack Naples through the navy. As long as Egypt can delay for a month, they can solve the Apennine Peninsula, then directly attack the Balkans, and then march to the castle.

Lithuania decided to unite with Livonia to deal with Moscow, but something happened in the south again. The Cossacks began to plunder Lithuania, and no one was left to them. It seems that Rome has taken action.

Vitatus prepared for another expedition, and then successfully gathered a group of troops based on his previous prestige with the Teutonic Knights, and went south in the name of crusade against heretics. As long as he was fast enough, he could regain all the territory.
