Eagle Byzantium

Gawain patted his head and shouted, "I know, I know, I have seen movies and TV shows about him before."

"Film and television works?" Anna was very surprised.

"Well... I made a mistake. It's a gospel sermon. Isn't he the apostle who was crucified upside down..." Before he could finish his words, Gawain's collar was touched again. Anna was caught, and Xiao Nizi's eyes were full of contempt and distrust, "Hey, you are getting more and more suspicious now, you know, everyone knows that it was St. Peter who was crucified upside down."

"That's the one who was nailed to the cross."

"That's Andre!"

"There was a man who was stoned to death, and there was a big bleeding and glowing bump on the icon. He must be Paul."

"Bastard barbarian, that's the same name as yours, St. Stephen." Anna was shaking with anger. She didn't know if Gawain was joking with her, or if this barbarian was simply a believer. Godly guy.

It’s no wonder that Gawain, in the previous era, held his nose to watch the so-called Holy Apostle story disc, just to seduce a beautiful and pious nun. He didn’t really remember who was in it.

But what he said just now, he did have some careless intentions, because last night he read some of Cabea Amiya's so-called Pauline sermons, and he had some vague suspicion and confusion in his heart, but he did not say it out.

At this time, Anna clapped her hands, angrily broke away from Gawain's arms, and stood up, "I won't talk to you about this, this is the military system. In exchange, a thousand strong Rhineland soldiers will be drawn from the Guardian Brigade. Lan soldiers were added to the Red Hand Brigade. As for the land of Seven Ridges, that is just my speculation. At least I don’t understand the meaning of Seven Ridges, so don’t say anything about it. In any case. Big Barbarian, your previous military deployment was correct. Find Baldwin and advance towards the city of Antioch. There is an extreme lack of water along the Kasili and Caesarea lines. If we go there, we will easily be defeated by Dani. The Shimund Turks will be defeated from areas with abundant water sources such as Amasya and Malatya, so taking the Cilicia Gate is the safest route.”

At sunset two days later, a Cuman scout cavalry carrying a bow and arrow and a small shield, cheering and holding a flag in his hand, ran into the city gate and drove straight to the door of the mosque on Judgment Day to stop. The horse was so tired that Covered in sweat. Breathing out and twitching her hooves, "Congratulations to the great Princess in Purple and the invincible General Stratigos. We found Lord Baldwin near the edge of Butantrot Valley. He and His army is lost."

Gawain came out hastily and joyfully. He asked loudly, "Are the lord sir and his wife okay?"

"Well, I met Earl Burke, one of his men, when I was looking for water. I found out about this. Their army is only thirty kilometers away from Caron, but the terrain is too complicated and we will get lost. If we don't move forward, Go to the rescue, I'm afraid Lord Baldwin will be really uneasy."

"Muzaphiadin, Giovanni, and I took the cavalry company of the newly baptized, together with all the military servants and all the pack horses. We shipped all the food and water we could get from the city of Caron, and followed this Scout, go and meet Baldwin!" Gawain shouted "everything" four times in a row. It’s hard to contain my excitement.

Even though the sun was about to set, the cavalry company still gathered in a short time. Under the command of General "Stratigos", guarding the supplies that were also precious to our own side, they marched along the rolling hills and canyons outside Caron City towards Butantrot. Walk to the edge of the valley.

The surrounding area is as desolate as the surface of the moon, with fragmented rock mountains, strange stone pillars, and patches of desert. I often walk for several miles without seeing any green plants. There are only black bats flying everywhere. Far In the distance, there is the huge Taurus Mountains whose outline faded in the dusk. The whole team walked silently and perseveringly, with only the bells hanging on the horses making sound. Even Gawain didn't know how Baldwin and Gottschild Will go around that damn place.

After walking for two hours, they finally saw a spring in a crack in the rocks. Earl Burke, wearing chain mail and a helmet, was sitting on the ground holding his horse. Seeing Gawain's arrival, he cried with joy. Praising the Lord loudly, he rushed over and hugged Gawain who dismounted, "It's finally time. The Almighty Lord has not abandoned us, and will surely bless everyone to reach the Holy City safely."

On the barren rock, Baldwin took off his armor, took off his helmet, hugged his thirsty dog ​​with its tongue hanging out, and stared blankly at the path where Earl Burke left, hoping that he could use the only remaining The horses brought back water for everyone to survive. Gottschild sat next to her husband, carrying a shriveled water bag. Her originally plump hair and lips were cracked. She kept touching Baldwin's ankles to Show encouragement. Several knights sitting around him were suffering from dry coughs and greedily breathing in the slightly moist mist in the evening. "Don't light the fire." The armed monk named Oden stopped the servants and soldiers from lighting the fire. He thought it would burn away the fog.

"I really didn't expect that Gottschild blamed me for being greedy for merit and resenting Tancred. Otherwise, he would have gone backwards along Lake Cappadocia and would have joined Gawain's army long ago."

"It doesn't matter, husband, Gawain will definitely come to rescue us, just like he did at St. Atkins Gate before." Gotheschild's tone was certain, but in fact, she didn't know what she was doing. Earl Burke had already gone to several places. Before the time came, was he ambushed and killed by Turkic bandits, or had he encountered some other misfortune? It really makes people burn inside and out.

At this moment, the sun has completely dissipated, and the night has enveloped the land. There are even low sobs coming from the team. Baldwin wants to yell harshly to maintain his morale and military morale, but when his throat is already so painful from dryness that he can't control it, he shakes it. It seems like it will break apart, let alone speak loudly.

Suddenly, a series of bells rang. Baldwin and Gottschild supported each other, widened their eyes and looked at the direction of the sound, "It's Burke back."

"No, Burke shouldn't have so many horses, and he won't light so many torches. Look at Gottschild, look, look! What flags did we see!" Baldwin's voice suddenly became shrill and deformed, He took the hand of his wife, who was also excited, and jumped and shouted regardless of the severe pain in his throat.

"It's the red hand cross sword flag, it's Gawain coming, and Gawain is indeed coming." Godschild's eyes burst into tears. She couldn't help but wipe them off and licked her cracked lips again and again.

Under the moonlight, many of Baldwin's knights, armed monks, sergeants, and military servants cheered and gathered on the huge rock overlooking the entire mountain road. Below, Gawain waved his hand and stood side by side with Earl Burke. , with hundreds of cavalry and many beasts of burden carrying skins, meandering towards them. The sound of the bells on the horse's neck was simply more beautiful than the most beautiful hymn...

"I want to take revenge on Tancred and that Armenian bastard Pakade. Gawain, you have to continue to help me!" Then, holding a water bag and wiping his mouth, Baldwin said fiercely. (To be continued ~^~)
