Chapter 715 King Level Reward
Beneath the huge painted mural is the new king who has crowned himself with a double crown.
The artist quickly sketched the line drawings of the panic-stricken archbishop, the excited Coptic monks, the heroic new king, and the cheering crusaders. It was impossible to portray all these characters in a short period of time.
He focused on recording each person's expression, the emblems on their robes, and facial features, and then processed them afterwards - he had a hunch that this would be a world-famous painting that would go down in history.
A priest recorded it this way: When the new king was crowned and everyone was jubilant, the new king just smiled slightly, as if regaining the Patriarchate of Alexandria that had been lost for a thousand years was just an insignificant first step in his great cause.
As for the two Kings, their feelings were much more complicated.
I still remember that at the beginning, they did not take a mere duke with an illegitimate title seriously, but not long after, he became the king of a country, and this crown was not inherited.
The new king never even looked at Sebastian, and he still retains this actor-like role, but only because he is the Pope's special envoy, and having him preside over the coronation not only demonstrates Losa's orthodoxy, but also sends a signal of peace to the Pope.
He had no intention of building a fleet to land on the Apennine Peninsula and force the Pope to recognize his status in the future, nor did he plan to return to Aargau and use it as a base to seek the throne of the Germanic Empire.
That's no different from losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.
The title of kingdom has been obtained, and the next step is to gradually recover all of Egypt, integrate the territories under its command, restore production, develop the economy, create identity, and reconcile the conflicts between the Crusaders and the Copts.
This will be a long process.
After all this is done, the power at his disposal will swell to a level comparable to the top European powers. Only then will it be time to consider further expansion, swallowing up all the legacy of the Ayyubid dynasty, or even unifying the Crusader states to piece together an imperial crown.
He stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the golden glow transformed into a brand new Spear of Destiny in his hand.
This treasure that belongs exclusively to him has now been replaced with the "King's New Spear", and its capabilities have also been improved. Unfortunately, his legal territory has expanded to all of Egypt and still needs to be urgently recovered. The territory is also unstable, and the new gun is still the bottom-line "excellent grade", so this improvement is very limited.
The King's Spear:
1. Wherever the Spear of Destiny points, the charge speed of your cavalry will be increased by %.
2. Assassinate the King: When this weapon is used against an enemy with a title equal to or higher than "King Level", each strike will have a critical hit effect.
3. Spear of Destruction: Dragon energy can break all laws. The Spear of Destiny infused with dragon energy can break any tangible spell cast by the enemy. It can be released twice in a row (with a cooling time of one day).
4. Worship: This legendary weapon has been regarded as the legendary holy spear. When it is worshipped, it will autonomously absorb the power of faith and strengthen its next attack.
"Everyone, under the gaze of God and St. Mark, I am crowned king here. From today on, Egypt will return to the embrace of Christ. All Christians who participated in this crusade will have their sins cleansed, and the glory of defending Christ will always accompany you."
"Praise the Father, praise His Majesty!"
Many Christians watching the ceremony shed tears. Unlike those ambitious "little ponies" who wanted to make a fortune and achieve great things in the Holy Land, their only wish in participating in the Crusade was to atone for their sins and obtain redemption.
Lothar continued, "All those who have made contributions, whether they are knights, soldiers, rich people, or poor people, will receive equal rewards according to their merits. This is the Lord's reward and encouragement to you."
Many people listened and their breathing became more intense.
But Losa changed the subject and continued, "When we entered the city, a citizen who came to greet us said that he hoped I would prohibit our devout Christian warriors from entering to avoid destroying this magnificent city."
The Jewish businessman standing behind the crowd turned pale in an instant and stammered, "He, he's not going to execute me here, is he?"
However, the Crusaders did not show any anger about this, as they knew well what the military discipline of the Crusaders was like.
Alexandria is the richest city in Egypt, and it can even be said to be the richest city in the entire Mediterranean except Constantinople. Any ruler who is about to rule this city will not underestimate the wealth of this city.
If looting were allowed to continue, this city would be reduced to ruins within three days.
"I rejected his rude request because we came from afar, leaving behind our wives and daughters, our hometowns, and our lands to come to the Holy Land. We came to save the Holy Land, to save those Christians oppressed by Saracen slave owners, to save those who were forced to abandon their faith and go astray, to gain salvation and liberate the Holy Land, not to be robbers."
Some Crusaders couldn't help but look ashamed. Their purpose of coming to the Holy Land was not that noble. When Urban II called for the Crusades, he also said that he wanted to take the endless wealth of the East.
Losa paused and said loudly: "I hereby promise that no one can take away what you deserve, but I will never allow anyone to rob and insult the honor of Christians."
All the Crusaders shouted "Yes" in response. Lothar's request was not excessive. Firstly, Alexandria did not resist and they captured the city without bloodshed. Secondly, Lothar had accumulated great prestige and no one dared to easily go against his will.
After Losa took the oath, a grand mass ceremony was conducted in an orderly manner under the presidency of the distraught Bishop Sebastian.
Lothar's mind was no longer on this. Since his coronation, the reminder sound in his ears had been ringing non-stop.
First came the settlement of the kingdom-level battle. This time, his contribution from one side alone was as high as 90%, and the reward he received was an exclusive treasure "The King's New Crown" that matched the King's New Gun (as long as it is within your territory, you can designate a target to weaken or gain it to a certain extent, and the effect varies with the territory situation).
Having a new crown is a good thing. The double crown does not conform to Lothar's aesthetic taste. If it were not for its symbolic significance of orthodoxy, he would not have bothered to ask Kul to find it.
In addition, after obtaining the kingdom-level title, the upper limit of special military recruitment is increased to 300. With the addition of large-scale standing troops, this number will be increased to 400. Considering the elite level of special military forces such as winged cavalry and armored archers, this number is already terrifying.
You have received a special reward: the King's Treasure Ring (contains two spaces, one for storage and one for bearing enemy attacks. The size of the storage space varies with the territory)
Flemish Pikeman Training Camp (training limit is 700).
Swiss Halberd Training Camp (training limit is 700).
Three blank combat records.
Two advanced combat records (can be used for the second elite upgrade of the squire)
A six-star attendant recruitment ticket.
The system prompt sounded again: You have completed the milestone "Crusader King". You led the Crusaders from Europe and opened up your own overseas kingdom in the Holy Land. Your great achievements will surely be praised by Christians all over Europe.
You have obtained special military training camps: the Knights Templar Station, the Knights Hospitaller Station, and the Teutonic Knights Station.
The dazzling array of rewards only made Lothar slightly stunned, and he put them aside temporarily. He was accepting the allegiance of a group of Crusader nobles, including several guards and servants brought by the two kings.
This was also the consensus reached between Lothar and the two monarchs. On the one hand, the two kings were given royal estates, and on the other hand, the nobles they brought were rewarded.
There are no commoners among the king's guards and attendants. Almost all of them are descendants of great nobles, or they are simply powerful lords in the local area.
For example, Richard's confidant, the captain of the Earl's guard, was Richard's most loyal and most commendable vassal, but it was obviously impossible for Richard to enfeoff him in Egypt. Instead, he enfeoffed the second son of Earl Fuller.
This can be described as a win-win move. On the one hand, the two kings proved to their subjects in Europe that following them would give them meat to eat, which would greatly increase their loyalty.
On the other hand, Lothar was also able to gain a group of vassals with distinguished backgrounds and insights.
What’s funny is that even though Egypt has already been conquered, the main armies of both sides are still on the way.
Richard was decisive. Coincidentally, King Sancho I of Portugal begged his queen to send troops to help him fight against the pagans in Andalusia, so he directly ordered his soldiers to participate in the Iberian Crusade.
As for Philip II, he had no intention of changing his marching route to help the Iberian countries fight against the pagans, nor did he intend to get involved in the War of the Sicilian Succession that was in full swing in the Mediterranean.
Instead, he planned to continue his advance, and after reaching the Holy Land, launch a "Northern Crusade".
Philip had already planned to leave Richard and Lothar behind and go it alone. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity to prove himself - Lothar had to be busy dealing with Egypt's internal affairs, and Richard had to go back to fight the Iberian Crusade.
My opponent is just the remnants of Saladin who has lost all his main forces. The advantage is mine!
After a long ceremony of enthronement and oath-taking, Lothar, surrounded by his Winged Hussars, mounted his Eclipse, came to the street and began a grand parade, which was a follow-up to the previously unfinished entry ceremony.
The parade lasted until the evening, and was followed by a grand banquet. Regardless of background or status, everyone, except the soldiers on duty, drank heartily.
