Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

"Aztec? What kind of weird name is that? What does it mean?" When most people present heard this transliteration for the first time, they were confused.

"I don't know. It's impossible to verify. Just treat it as a transliteration." Levi had no other options. The focus of these people was a little strange. "I brought you some scary news. The size of their empire is beyond my imagination."

Levi thought that the Aztec Empire was a Mesoamerican empire.

No, they are climbing the technology ladder too fast! For the three of science and technology, administrative technology and military technology, I doubt whether they have entered adm, dip and mil! Disgusting! The cheating wall, the system is rubbish, and they also enter cheat codes and use consoles! What the hell! Are these things done by good people?

"Aztec Empire... Sorry, this is a rough diagram I drew." Levi took out a huge piece of parchment, which must have been made by an adult sheep: "This is our Europe, this is Africa - this is the Atlantic Ocean..."

"Isn't that right? Europe is so small? Africa is so big? What's in the east? Did you draw it wrong? The world map looks like this?" Astolfo looked at Levi in ​​a way that he didn't understand, and then looked at the map in Levi's hand: "Aren't Africa and Asia just a tiny bit? Europe is the biggest, right?"

"..."

Li Wei suddenly recalled some famous historical scenes and classic quotes from some brilliant figures who were not yet born [How far is Kishmir from that country? Is there a water route? Has that country had any dealings with England? Why did it come to Zhejiang this time?] "Okay, that's fine if you think so - but generally speaking, let's just stick to my map for now, okay?"

"Oh." The transvestite prince nodded, and was led aside by Levi pinching his nose, without any resistance.

"This way." Levi pointed to the Atlantic Ocean and said, "Eight hundred kilometers west of England is a large island called Iceland. Another eight hundred kilometers west is Greenland. Another eight hundred kilometers west is the New World."

I used to be a teacher, so I know a little bit about liberal arts, history and geography. So I basically have a little knowledge reserve and memory in this area: "After traveling thousands of kilometers by water, you can reach another continent. It is several times larger than Europe, and the population... should be about the same as Europe. But it is obvious that the mobilization capacity is different. They are unified, maybe they are unified... Wait for the girl to come and ask her carefully. But nominally, they are all people of the Aztec Empire now. Please see. I call this place Ugly Continent."

"? What a strange name."

"Ah, I did it on purpose." Levi nodded and said, "The Aztec Empire was so large that it started from this continent, probably as large as the Frankish Empire. Then it spread all the way north, probably as large as another Frankish Empire. The entire eastern coast of North Continent was their territory."

As we all know, Crusader Kings II and III do not have maps of the Americas. However, Crusader Kings II can be transcoded to Europa Universalis IV through a paid DLC.

If you use transcoding technology to continue playing on Europa Universalis IV, you will find that after the "Sunset Invasion" incident broke out in "Crusader Kings II", the entire Central America and the east coast of North America became the base of the Aztec Empire.

It's so hot!

America was by no means a barren land. The northeastern part of the country was occupied by the eastern part of Canada, the Kingdom of Vinland in Greenland, and the entire western part of South America were all part of the Inca Empire. The central and northern parts of North America were maintained by an empire similar to the Holy Roman Empire consisting of N small kingdoms.

Oh, by the way, the Ming Dynasty in this save file of Europa Universalis IV is absolutely... gratifying. It occupies the entire Northeast, Outer Northeast, and Sakhalin Island. Tibet is also a sacred and inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty. Paradox even gave part of northern Myanmar directly to the Ming Dynasty to prevent nitpicking. There is no need for colonization in 4V, the entire island belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

"Hiss!—How many people are there?"

"I heard there are about 60 million people, or even more."

"Hiss! Sixty million pagans with the combined strength? This, this..."

Everyone fell into panic.

"What are you afraid of?" Levi curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just an empire with 60 million people who don't believe in God? The easternmost country, Seris, had a peak population of 90 million."

"Did Seris send an expeditionary force to Europe? No! So why should we be afraid of them? The Aztec Empire really sent 15 troops here, and you said there are another more behind them!"

Hmm... Does this statement sound familiar? We would really fight if we didn't have the atomic bomb, but we wouldn't fight if we had it.

"Well... don't be so confident." Levi was very nervous. The Aztecs here have come to cause trouble, so who knows what kind of horrible monsters will turn out in the east! "Be careful of the crow's mouth."

The implementation situation is that Levi’s idea was not wrong.

In the world of Ck2, the "dragon" in the east will send an expeditionary force once it gets angry. If there is a difficulty mod...

The minimum is 200,000, and there is no upper limit! Floating difficulty, how many soldiers you have, multiplied by two to five times, thrown to you. It can be called a medieval disaster.

If the difficulty coefficient here is not enough, you can also brush 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in the east. What is the Battle of Hengrus? It's all bullshit! At that time, I will destroy Arabia in minutes for you to see! Destroy India first, then destroy Persia, and then destroy Green Green!

All in all, this is a scary world.

A terrifying character who can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops will stand up at any time - ah, the bright Middle Ages. The British in World War II could not mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, but now Britain can easily mobilize 300,000 troops. Ah, the bright Middle Ages.

"Master, Your Highnesses."

At this moment, a girl knocked on the door gently and said softly: "The pagan princess that the master wanted to take has been brought here by us. Excuse me..."

Several Templars gave a thumbs up in their hearts when they saw such a high-quality maid, and then looked at their own servants - what kind of crap are they!

"Yeah." Levi nodded and gestured, "Bring the people up here - this is a magical world after all, and I don't understand it now. Remember to ask those who can do magic to come here and set up barriers and the like to prevent the other party from self-destructing."

Self-explosion, a man’s romance.

Soon, the dark-skinned girl princess, Terra, was brought up.

"Have a seat." Levi pointed to the chair next to him and said to the trembling dark-skinned girl, "If you are really a princess from an enemy country, even if you are a pagan, we must show you enough respect. I don't know whether your god can protect you, but I can guarantee your safety - but only if you cooperate with us enough."

"Hey! Okay, okay..."

The dark-skinned girl who looked like a bitch at first suddenly turned into a good kid.

: "I'll tell you everything, just don't hit me!"

"...Avi." Frowning, the 100% feminized young emperor Xia Lulu asked in confusion, "You didn't hit a woman, did you?"

"I couldn't help it and slapped her twice. Really, I slapped her twice - about that." Levi slapped Xia Lulu's shoulder twice in front of everyone: "The strength was about this. I didn't expect the other party to be so scared."

"...Really? Never mind. It doesn't matter." The other party was just a consumable, and Xia Lulu didn't want to choose between the consumable and Levi: "Just don't do this in the future... Then, come here, let me see. Hmm... He looks different from Europeans."

No, they all look the same to me. The cards are all Japanese comics anyway - as long as they look good.

"Different races." Levi nodded. The Greek beautiful boy style is different from the Asian beautiful boy style. The dark-skinned girl in front of him is obviously Asian - the American race is from East Asia, what else can you say? The dark skin is not really black, it's just a healthy color! - Even sexy!

"What's your name?" Xia Lulu asked.

"Tlasolitheolite Sochit Montezuma Socoyochin."

“…Uh…ah?”

"Call me, just call me Tera." He added weakly, he really knows how to "handle things"~

"Oh, so...Princess, right?" Xia Lulu asked, entering Emperor Daoguang mode: "How big is your country?"

After a series of questions and answers, Xia Lulu gasped at the results.

Large amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted.

"...If this is true, then...the endless stream of conqueror armies will shake our empire." Xia Lulu was the first to waver.

"No, no, we can all surrender to the heretics, but you can't."

“? Eh?” I didn’t ask you if you could surrender?

"If we surrender to the heretics, we will not lose our position as lords. For example, I have an army of 100,000, and even the pagans want to win me over. But you can't. If you surrender, you will only have one chariot, one horse, and a few followers. This is still the best case scenario. I guess you will be sacrificed directly to the gods. These pagans have a tradition similar to that of Christians."

“?” So much information.

"So, everyone here has the possibility of surrendering, except you." Levi stood beside Xia Lulu, ignoring the angry glares of other Templars: "I don't know whether they will follow suit or not, anyway, I will stand by your side unwaveringly."

"What are you talking about! - We want to stand by Charlie's side too!"

"That's right!"

The Templars all displayed their shining blades.

It means that what Levi said is like an insult to us! - Can we be the ones who surrender?

"Well then." Levi raised a more serious question: "I have an army of 30 ready to fight at any time. We can defeat the invading enemy at any time, or at least delay it. The problem now is, what about other places? There are heretics across the sea, which can become at any time. How are you going to defend? I have squeezed them to the extreme here. I have squeezed out a total of troops from Brittany and the newly granted Anjou. This is more than ten times the military service I should have. I would like to ask all the great lords, if you can have half of my strength in serving the country. The other territories of the Frankish Empire are hundreds of times larger than mine, and the population is hundreds of times more than mine! Can we squeeze out a million troops? Then we can easily crush the enemy."

"..." Damn, is this how you calculate the account?! If you say so, no one will be able to live like this.

"We don't have that many, but we should at least show some presence, right? Apart from anything else, I have 100,000 people here waiting for Xia Lulu's order at any time! Don't worry about whether I can survive the rest of my life. Anyway, I won't survive if I can't defeat the pagans! - Uh, shouldn't you also mobilize the troops to the northern coastal defense line?"

So are we going to live our lives?!

235 Royal Grace Earth-shattering Fist

Stupid, it's the economy!

After all this time, it's all about money. Loyal ministers have to eat. When a man is poor, he has low ambitions and his hair grows thin. The last few Templars groaned for a long time, but they couldn't get many soldiers. After all, under the feudal system, the division is done level by level. It's not that I'm going to go all in and follow you! I still have so many soldiers under my command. I don't want money and I'm even going to follow you on an empty stomach. The soldiers under my command don't have this awareness.

Lord Guan would rather die than surrender, but all the soldiers in Jingzhou defected.

So you must not only be loyal and righteous, and be the only one in the world - you must also have money and food, unless you can gather a team that is completely dedicated to the ideal, and the entire team from head to toe can be dedicated to the ideal.

448

The ultimate warrior who dedicated himself to the cause.

"Alas." Xia Lulu sighed and said, "Don't blame everyone for hesitating, Avi. It's not that everyone is unwilling to do their best, sometimes we really have no choice. Even if we are willing, the soldiers can't fight on an empty stomach. Even if we fight all year round, the farmers have to go home to grow food."

The Franks had warriors of all professions, not nobles, but simple warriors. The so-called "knights" during the time when Xia Lulu ruled the Franks meant "armed warriors surrounding the king."

"Oh? So... all the civil and military officials in the court actually think that I am a devil..." Levi has to show off! Mad usually keeps staring at my devil identity, but now even a devil is not as good as your face!

"Okay, Avi." Class teacher Xia Lulu came over to stop them from starting a fight. "What should we do now... Well, should we gather the troops and wait for the enemy to attack? In that case..."

"Ah."

For strategic reasons, Levi couldn't help but feel upset - after all, if something went wrong, he would be the next one to cross the English Channel! Even if I could withstand the enemy's first wave of attacks - why should I block the first blow? Just because I stand here to be stabbed? Ugh! No, even if I die, I have to be unlucky!

Seeing that the emotional buildup was almost complete, Levi sighed and shook his head.

"Xia Lulu?"

"Ok?"

"Alas." Levi sighed again. It felt like he was pointing a knife at his own father. Then he took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you 50,000 gold coins and 50,000 kilograms of spices - can that solve the problem temporarily?"

The big prize is not 50,000 gold coins, but 50,000 kilograms of spices. The gold coins are earned, and the spices are grown from the manor. Anyway, there are so many spices that Levi even has to control and reduce production. Eating spicy hot pot every day is not good for the body, and rice is the staple food.

"Pah!" Xia Lulu grabbed Levi's hand, her heart was excited, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't say a word. After a long while, the young emperor asked a question in a trembling voice: "Avi, is it true? Fifty thousand kilograms of spices..."

Ah, so it turns out that he didn’t ask about 50,000 gold coins, but 50,000 kilograms of spices.

"Not bad." Levi nodded. It was just 400 kilograms of spices. It only said spices, not pepper. Pepper yields kilograms per mu? Red pepper can produce about kilograms per mu - it's very simple. In the Age of Exploration, if you go to Southeast Asia, except that the output is not high, you can buy a ship with one silver coin. "When have I ever lied to you?"

...When we first fought, you tricked tens of thousands of my troops into entering.

As if he understood Xia Lulu's look, Levi was also a little embarrassed: "Have I ever lied to you since I became your vassal?"

“…That’s not the case.”

"Look." Levi quickly climbed up the pole: "You still don't trust me? Oh, by the way, you can take the spices from me later."

"...Avi, thank you. By the way, where do you get your spices?"

"Well, the Holy Grail..."

It seems that he is unwilling to tell the truth again.

"How about this." Li Wei decided to try harder: "If it really doesn't work, let's go and help."

"? Are you going to take sides?"

"Well, that's called driving a tiger to swallow a wolf."

————————————————————————

Is war really the main theme of this era? Ordinary people certainly don't like war.

Some people play this kind of war game just because it’s fun.

Levi is now very calm deep down in his heart. He calmly believes that the Aztec Empire is vulnerable and he should even go to help.

The reason is simple: on this European battlefield at the end of the eighth century AD - you don’t have a horse!

This is almost on the same level as "Damn Zhang Mazi, how dare you kill my horse?" If you didn't have a horse in the Middle Ages, isn't that equivalent to not having a tank in modern warfare?

…Although Britain does have no tanks anymore.

But! Why do we still mention Britain when it is such a lame country that can only stir up trouble? You see, in the Middle Ages, there were no horses, and even no heavy cavalry in direct PK between countries. What a tragedy that was? Even the Mongols had a lot of heavy cavalry, right? In a place like Europe with vast plains, how dare you show off without cavalry?

Levi had given away a flaw. There were definitely no horses in America. Cavalry was also a piece of cake. Forget about it - what about a 150,000-man army? Five thousand heavy cavalry fighting on the plains could kill their way through the enemy! Levi was now planning to help the drow elves' evil cult army to take sides.

That's what he thought.

But at the same time, a small incident occurred.

"Should we use some diplomacy?"

Everyone sat together and looked at each other, and suddenly Roland raised a suggestion. As the most famous knight in the era of Charlemagne, he was a distant relative of Xia Lulu.

At this time he made a suggestion: "The situation is so critical now, and Xia Lulu... just happens to be unmarried!"

"……Um?"
