Eagle Byzantium

"After conquering Lower Nicaea, our Dalian company must leave immediately!" When Gawain returned to the camp, he quickly summoned all the generals and officers of the Brotherhood and issued this order.

Of course, Gawain did not reveal any other details, but simply stated, "Because His Majesty the Emperor has given us a mission in advance, which is to recover Paphlagonia and Trabzon after the fall of Nicaea. Follow the others."

He also specifically said to Gottschalk behind him, "When it's time to go on an expedition, your armed regiment should also accompany the army and prepare light luggage and weapons."

Finally, when everyone went to arrange the matter, Gawain took a few key members, including Anna, to stay in the scarlet tent. "This matter is extremely confidential. The sworn brother who stayed in Qiweit knew it in his heart." Well, otherwise don’t send him any letters about today’s issues, so as not to alert the enemy.”

"Your Excellency, can you talk about it in detail?" Giovanni's words represent the voices of most people, who are temporarily confused.

"As soon as Ademar arrived, the situation for the entire pilgrims became more complicated. This priest is actually a supervisor sent by His Majesty the Holy See. Of course, the Holy See's move is understandable. But it is necessary to form a meeting of cardinals to accompany the expedition. If so, I have to be involved.”

"In that case, Gawain, your military power will be weakened, right?" Anna asked, because she immediately understood that if Gawain put on his robe and became a cardinal, he would be entangled with the church and believers' mass all day long, and would have no time to care about it. In the army, Bohemond or Raymond will take the opportunity to add sand to the Dalian team.

"Yes, the sponsor, but it may not only be weakened, but in severe cases, it may be merged and captured! Because Bohemond will do this soon, but at the critical moment of attacking Nicaea, he can't take action. Come on, just waiting for the opportunity." Gao Wen said. Most of the people present immediately understood that after all, the Normans would not miss any opportunity to attack and destroy the Red Hand Dalian team. Cooperation is temporary, and confrontation is the norm.

At the same time, Gawain also proposed another danger, which came from Constantinople. "There is another reason to leave immediately. That is the movements of His Majesty the Emperor. As far as I know, even Raymond of Provence He is His Majesty's most trusted agent. He came across the sea to be His Majesty's sword. From then on, The internal fighting is probably going to get heated. Godfrey and Baldwin are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, let alone us." After saying that, he turned his attention to Anna, "Besides, His Majesty the Emperor has tens of thousands of elite troops in the capital. The movement is not very clear. But he can come at any time.”

"That's right, let's leave here, avoid internal fighting, and let it go to the outside world - this is also the secret of success in ancient times. Julius and Caesar went to Gaul." Anna nodded and said, and everyone else nodded accordingly, making a pilgrimage. There is nothing wrong, but regaining the Holy City is the ultimate goal, and all the goals in the previous stages are achievable.

Just when everyone was making up their mind, Gawain said something again, and people's brains were instantly twisted into cables. "We will go to Brasillon, make a circle, and wait for an opportunity to join the pilgrims again."

"Oh." Even Anna couldn't keep up with the rhythm now. He could only smile bitterly.

Of course she understood what Gawain meant by "going around in a circle." It’s definitely a pretense of optimism and open-mindedness.

Brasillon, next to Bithynia, is a standard mountainous province. It is difficult for large armies to move and there are many castles. And now there, the forces of Greeks and Paulists are intertwined. The situation is extremely complicated. If you are not careful, you will end up dead and destroyed. "Gawain, I'm afraid the real challenge is coming." Anna secretly encouraged and prayed for the barbarian, and also for herself.

But before that, the city of Nicaea must be captured as soon as possible.

"Anna, I hope to see Agnes. Now that the siege of the city has been successful, the defenders have lost their courage, and they just have to build a passage on the wall. Now the Normans, Franks, Provence, and Flanders Everyone hopes so, but none of them have particularly qualified craftsmen who can inherit the essence of Roman engineering technology, but we do." After the meeting, Gawain asked Anna alone.

"But Agnes told me before that her help in improving the vehicle drawings is already the limit." Anna was a little embarrassed.

"By the way, shouldn't Agnes be by your side?"

"After today's confinement ended, she asked the battalion officer Wright for a tent alone and left here."

"Oh... that is to say, you and Agnes went against my warning in advance and secretly saw something. Is that right?"

"I was a little scared. War is indeed cruel and bloody." Anna replied.

So after Gawain left the tent and told Anna to rest early, "I'll stay outside after I'm done, don't be afraid." Then he led several sturdy warriors to Agnes' tent. .

At that time, the gray-eyed girl was climbing up and down with her servants, busy packing her luggage. When Gawain suddenly broke in, she screamed in fright and kept retreating.

"What are you doing?" Gawain looked at the situation around him and asked sternly.

"I want to go back to Lesbos." Agnes said this with great fear. The Gawain she saw now was a man who chopped off four thousand enemy heads and then threw them all into the ground with a trebuchet. Within the walls of the heathen - a hero, or a butcher. .

"Impossible, you must be with Anna." Gawain and several warriors approached him and said as if giving a verdict. Agnes's slaves were so frightened that they put down their work and stood in the corner obediently. Inside, they didn't dare to move. They had all heard what happened today, and they didn't want their heads to be thrown into the city of Nicaea by the trebuchet.

"But, it's ridiculous. I have not joined your brotherhood, nor have I pledged a holy war oath. Even if I have, I still have the right to cancel my return. I want to leave, and I will leave tomorrow."

"First of all, I still want to thank you for sending Anna and me to Asia Minor on a wheel ship; but now I have decided to hire you to make equipment for the Dalian team. You enjoy the special allowance and food as an engineer." After saying that, Gawain suddenly pushed Agger Nisi held up her hand and threatened, "I have already I warned you girl, this is not a leisurely outing, but you still dived in in order to hunt for Anna's beauty. Then I can tell you clearly that a smart person like you with engineering knowledge entered Dalian. Team, if you get past my eyes, I, Gawain, will never let you go."

Originally, Gawain was planning to come to plead with Agnes, but after he learned from Anna that the gray-eyed girl was frightened by what happened today, he decided to do the opposite and use the fear in her heart to achieve his goal. . (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Fame is just a dream, only sincerity will never fade away.

Life is full of emotions, no one can comment on success or failure!

Let the song of Li Sao sing loudly, and the tragic song of generosity ends today.

There is a sharp sword at my waist, and there is a pool of blood in the clearing sea!
