Eagle Byzantium

When the confidential officer was ordered to retreat to the room on the other side of the camp, Gawain quietly called General Orson Hermetos and whispered to him, "I am going to hand over Kirat and Van City. I will give you the command, while your brother-in-law Hallum is stationed in the important town of Manzikert to provide support. "

Orson said there was no problem with this arrangement, but he wanted to know more about what his role and mission would be if he did so.

"Now that I have restored the Kingdom of Greater Armenia, Prince Toros is nominally the supreme ruler of this country, but I feel... Toros is not a reliable and loyal person after all."

Hearing this, Orson thought nonsense. This young man was imprisoned by you in disguise in the palace of Fanka City. He lived in a monastery room with no windows, and had four servants who were deaf or mute and one person to take care of him. The old woman stayed there, and every two or three days she would send a (sometimes even two or three) beautiful and slim Adigai slave girls to "squeeze" her. Prince Toros - now I heard that this prince is in his teens and already has two penises and black eyes. He does nothing else every day. He is either being served on the couch by the beautiful Miss Adigai or waiting for the beautiful girl. A young lady comes to pay homage and serve him - how can he be reliable? Even if such a person is released back to Ani City now, there is no way he can govern the country.

"Well, I didn't expect that this Toros would be so addicted, so I'm very worried about the future of Greater Armenia." Gawain sighed, pressed his fingers on the edge of the silver candlestick, and said sincerely, "So I arranged this Tell me, my old warrior Orson, you might as well give me some reliable advice."

Orson understood it, and he heard the clue from what he just said, so he replied, "Now the Yevanduni brigade is stationed in the city of Kars in the north, and Heracles is also there; and Hallam and I are in Van in the south. City, Kirat and Manzikert, as long as your majesty gives me military personnel and tax-sharing rights, I can form a new border army in the Lake Van area; in this way, I can monitor the northern border and keep Greater Armenia loyal forever. To you and Empress Anna.”

After saying this, Gawain was very moved, "I won't let Taurus back, otherwise you and Hercules will be tied up, which is not good. You are the chief of security in Greater Armenia, and your daughter Hertomia He is Anna and I’s imperial ink officer, and Your son-in-law is in charge of the military and civilians in the Marash area, and your brother-in-law Hallum also owns a large number of sacred fiefs in Manchikert. The Hertomis family is my arm and humerus. The descendants of Rus will also continue to assist my descendants.”

"Yes, I will do my best to serve His Highness Christophe forever in the future."

But Gawain held down Orson's hand, "No, Christopher has his own childcare system. The one you will assist in the future is my eldest son Kaleadios..."

Seeing the surprise on Orson's face, Gawain sighed slightly, "Ingrina has done the most for me, but because she is also an Orthodox Christian, I can't even perform a ceremony... Forget it. , in short, I feel very guilty towards Ingrina, and in order to make up for it, I want Kaleadios to become..."

"Then you have to facilitate the marriage between His Highness Caleadios and Lolita (Toros' sister). This will be more legitimate." Orson looked at it subconsciously and reminded.

Gawain nodded, "That's no problem. Lolita is only two years older than my eldest son. Then when the time is right, we have to work on this matter... Now Kaleadios, Helena Both your daughter and Christopher's guardian are your daughters, so I won't worry about their character or skills."

"Then please rest assured, Your Majesty..."

After Orson finished answering, he seemed to be able to foresee the future ending of poor Prince Toros.

In the next few days, Gawain, who had completed the temporary enthronement ceremony, issued orders one after another - he announced that Wright Bozia, the original governor of Sith County, was now temporarily in charge of the affairs of Tarsus, Sith, Fanka and other counties. , with Sven and Polybi as his deputies, they fully mobilized the transshipment of food to go to Cyprus to reinforce Andodat.

After the Gemakis brigade landed there by boat, Gawain's token quickly arrived: the 4,000 civilian troops Andodat originally brought to the island and the 3,500 newly recruited German troops Lan soldiers (all from Conrad's old army), plus Gimakis The brigade, artillery, and engineers began to attack the only remaining Nicosia Fort on the island with all their strength from now on. Gawain even personally urged Andodat to "must capture this place in one to one and a half months, and conquer Apu." Somats the owl leader! I will give you a winter rest and training. When the spring seaworthy season comes, you will cross the sea and go to Bellitus (i.e. Beirut) to join forces with Pragit. You will continue to be the commander-in-chief and attack Tripoli first and guard against Bohemond. Take advantage of the fire and then break it Go back south and besiege the two ports of Sidon and Tire. Then I will personally lead the main force to support you... I will not interfere too much with you during the war, but you must pay attention to uniting and persuading the local people in Tripoli, especially A Maronite believer."

Almost at the same time, when Anna had just finished her tour and returned to the city of Tarsus to rest, one day in the early morning, as she was just getting dressed and walking out, she saw Staurachos, the palace cupbearer and eunuch, slowly approaching with a solemn honor guard. The fat eunuch also held Anna's seven Ling held the small golden crown in his hands. After walking in, he knelt down and placed the small golden crown in front of Anna again, saying, "The great and supreme empress, the mistress of all Tarsus, this golden crown belongs to your husband now." I personally wish you good health."

Anna rolled her eyes, and temporarily did not react to the change of her role...

Soon, in the Agaron Palace, Anna stood in front of the courtyard with some anger, watching Massoud practicing archery with a soft bow at the target, while Massoud's mother Shahnami and the imperial ink officer Hetomia accompanied the "new Roman empress".

However, what made Anna angry was not the title of empress, anyway, it was she and Gawain who controlled the country, but Gawain said frankly in the letter that he hoped that his son with Ingrina would become the prince of Armenia in the future.

In fact, this was completely Gawain's way of testing the waters. From the perspective of blood, Kaleadios would have no big problem guarding the eastern vassal in the future with such an arrangement - the rich Lake Van area can at least support a team of 15,000 soldiers, plus the Yefanduni Brigade and Bellerophon Brigade stationed there, and the border residents in Samosata, Marash, Melitene and other places, which are enough to defend several borders of this country.

But Anna thought, why not her own son guarding there? Who told her that she only had Christopher as her heir, and the widow's son was the oldest, so this arrangement was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Where is Princess Dido's son, His Royal Highness Theodore?" At this moment, Hertomia quietly suggested to Anna.
