Eagle Byzantium

The two people's lips parted and closed, and then continued to stir together harder. Sometimes it was Gawain's rough and effective "Varyag way" attack, and sometimes it was Anna's "Roman self-esteem" counterattack that refused to be outdone. , the grass and sand under the feet are all white under the reflection of the lake, and the Albizia Julibrissin tree greedily absorbs the fresh and moist air, spitting out its buds and leaves.

And Anna's interest became more and more high. She panted, buried her head in Gawain's arms, and asked gently, "What kind of behavior is it to expose? I just read some books and slang songs." I know a lot about it, but I don’t know much about it.”

Gawain, who was stroking Anna's hair, smiled slyly. He remembered Gothschild's reminder just now, and said, "You have witnessed the relationship between the Franks and me not only in the scrolls, but also in the Excello Valley." Company, charge with lances?"

"That spear can punch a hole in the wall of any city." Anna said, and then her eyes widened, a little frightened, "Big Barbarian, don't you mean..." Then she felt There was a frightening change in the other party's body, and she hurriedly tried to retreat, but Gawain tightened his grip on her, "How are you scared? Your Highness, yes, this is the feeling, and not only Stab a big hole, or charge and jab repeatedly.”

"That will destroy everything, and I don't want to!" Anna was trembling, begging the barbarian not to treat her so cruelly, "Maybe, maybe I will read more ancient classics to see if I can find a more accommodating method. ...But if it’s so terrifying, why did mother and Marlena try their best to compete for father’s love in the Brachna Palace?”

This little girl is extremely smart. Gawain thought that if he prevaricates this problem casually, his plan will be in vain. After careful consideration, He then answered Anna and said, "Because Queen Irene and Malena are both, you regard them as brave warriors. Your mother is from the Roman Empire, and Malena... It doesn't matter how you decide. Since they are brave warriors, they must go to the battlefield proudly and without regrets, even if they are faced with the terrifying stabs from the spears, even if they are hit hard by the ruthless swords and arrows, they must fight hard. Go down for the honor in your heart, right?"

"No wonder you have two arrow wounds on your shoulder, Gawain." Anna said, raising her hand to touch his shoulder blade with pity.

"Ahem, that has nothing to do with this, don't make random analogies."

"I can be like my mother. Not only can I withstand my father's spears and arrows, but I can also raise many children. But you, barbarian, can't treat me like my father treated my mother."

"Hmm. But you are still a recruit in the training period. Don't be anxious and take your time. You need to learn horse riding, wrestling and so on before you can grow into a qualified warrior. Isn't that right?" Gawain continued to tease gently.

"Okay...I will listen to you." Anna's heart gradually calmed down. She hugged the big manzi for a while, and was filled with joy for Gawain's first kiss with her, thinking that this was also a sign of growth. As a necessary journey for a "brave warrior", the other party picked him up on the horse again and led him back to the camp.

The camp of the Byzantine army above Xiaofu, after Gawain left. Tatisius deliberately left Diognis behind, and then said to him in a calm tone, "Your Majesty's order. Do you find it difficult? His Majesty the Emperor clearly asked you to supervise me, Gawain, and the Chief. The duty of the princess. When Anna arrived just now, you were happy that she could get Gawain's love and care, but you were also worried about whether you should report it to your majesty."

Diognis was silent, but he obviously acknowledged what the other party said.

So General Xiangbi sighed, stood up and said, "Your Majesty has His Majesty's considerations and difficulties. He cannot rely on the abilities of his own people, such as the two Imperial Glorymen; but he is afraid that our abilities will be too great, so he will The difficult battlefield of Asia Minor is entrusted to us, so that whether victory or defeat, Your Majesty can handle it calmly. Therefore, Diogenes Pavilion. Your Majesty, we will do what is convenient for the public and what is private for the sake of private affairs. For example, tomorrow we will move camp to the east of the city. For public affairs, I will implement your majesty's established strategy, and for private purposes, I will agree to Gawain's request. And you, too. Use documents to report the events here to the Brachna Palace in detail. In the public, let the emperor know the movements of the eldest princess, in private..."

"This will completely cut off the princess's way back to the palace, allowing her to follow Gawain with peace of mind and be his wife, right?" Diognis' IQ suddenly came back online at this moment.

Taticius nodded, and then said that it was getting late, so it was best to rest as soon as possible and prepare for moving the camp to attack the city.

Early the next morning, four Roman generals, Titicius, Branus, Michael, and Diognis, led the advance with 300 Plonian cavalry. These cavalry were dressed similar to the Normans. Some of them are Byzantine armor, some are Persian-style fine armor, they are also holding sharp spears or long-handled hammers, and their horses are covered with bright horse clothes, which can be said to be neat. They were the new elite of the Roman Empire. They all had extensive contracted lands in Thrace, Macedonia, and the Peloponnese. They could provide their own well-equipped armed forces, and were granted by the emperor the power to tax and levy people on their lands. , so behind this group of cavalry is a private army composed of their serfs, carrying luggage and equipment, and they are more powerful than the knights from the west.

Behind the cavalry were nearly 5,000 lightly armed infantrymen, the emperor's mercenaries, most of whom were Pechenegs and Tekopo, the former good at cavalry warfare and the latter skilled in archery and naval warfare. They held numerous flags and marched through the Frankish siege camp from the side of Nicaea.

In addition, the two counts, Robert of Normandy and Robert of Flanders, joined the Norman camp; and Count Stephen of Blois joined the Frankish camp.

At the same time, under the sunshine and smoke, the Normans, Franks and the Red Hand Company also quickly took action. Although the Roma soldiers in the city were proud of their city’s solid defense, they were still frightened when they saw the elite troops of various nationalities and kingdoms surrounding their city on the battlements and in the towers. The armies of Apulia, Calabria, Sicily, Normandy, and Flanders were at the siege point in the west of the city; the newly surrendered troops of Lower Lorraine, Bouillon, Verdun, Blois, and Armenia were at the siege point in the north of the city; the Grand Company holding high the Red Hand Cross Sword flag and the warlike men recruited by the emperor from various nationalities gathered on the east side of the city, cutting off the main transportation route between Nicaea and Conia. The entire army has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, claiming to have 300,000 soldiers. The spears, axes, halberds and spears are like the Black Forest of Salian. Countless servants shuttle around in the siege camp like ants, occupying tents for their masters and carrying luggage. The same number of monks and ladies perform their duties, inspiring morale, encouraging the soldiers to fight bravely, and firming their spirits and wills to serve the Lord and the Kingdom of Heaven.
