Eagle Byzantium

Finally, the servant frowned and whispered, "On the farmer's trousers, there is a leech-like insect in its mouth."

"Hey, leech..." Wright's forehead was pale and the bridge of his nose was flapping rapidly.

"Well, deputy heraldry officer, that's you. The leech is you. It clings to the farmer's body and sucks blood, but sometimes it can also be used to bleed and cure diseases." Nika finished explaining, then laughed again and said, "It seems The Grand Duke and Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot do without you, but for us Gina Special, it must be eradicated painfully - go back and report to the purple princess, the Kallegos family also has its own dignity. If Gawain can really eradicate the old man and his five sons before the emperor intervenes, then he will obey the destiny. If If not, please ask the Grand Duke to acknowledge the Lord’s arrangement.

"Is this going to start a war with His Highness the Grand Duke?" Wright asked hurriedly.

"No, Fort Allalman remains neutral in this battle." Nika sighed, with a miserable expression and wrinkles on his face. "I have been trapped in a knot like an ancient curse that can no longer be untied." It feels like. When Wright didn't understand at all, he raised his dull white eyes, "Because if the crops are destroyed, farmers will The husband will be angry and desperate, and then he will first eat the two dogs to satisfy his hunger. This is probably the last meaning expressed in the princess's painting. Anyway, in the end I will probably only have two sons left, but I don't know. Goat or dog, there is no other choice, because the power of choice is not in my hands.”

The city gate rumblingly closed, "Leech" looked back at Alamein's castle. Perhaps in a few days, the imperial army coming from Atalia City would pass through here to carry out the emperor's will and besiege it. Will the city of Seleucia, farmers and crops be destroyed? What about me, a leech? Where can I become a ditch that accepts my small body?

At the same time, on the acropolis in Tarsus that could overlook the plain river, Titicius and Diognis stood there silently, looking at both sides of the river bank, Gawain's elite brigade and Baldwin, Orson, Polibi's team marched in an orderly manner with their backs facing each other. "How long can the Kallegos brothers resist in the Mut Valley?" the guard couldn't help but ask.

Taticius did not answer this question, but covered his face with his billowing cloak, turned to the other side of the battlements, and looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains of East Cilicia, "Diognis, you should not ask This question, look at the castles over there, they are now It's all Gawain's - His Majesty originally told me that as long as Tarsus is captured, the system run by Gawain will be full of rebels and fall apart. Unfortunately, this situation has never happened, and now I am trapped. Yes, it’s us..."

Diognis was startled by these words, and he seemed to have woken up. As a result, he looked around in confusion and realized that the city of Tarsus was isolated in the vast mountains and rivers, surrounded by lords with ulterior motives. Our side is indeed as General Xiubi said: we are alone. I couldn't help but feel the cold air rolling up from my back.

"Hurry up and send troops to guard the Cilicia Road." Diognis was very anxious, but General Xiangbi was very indifferent, "Now at this end of the road, there are Lamplon and Mojibold on both sides, just like We don’t own the two iron door latches.”

"Where are Harold's horses? Have them come from Konya."

"Gawain moved quickly. He still had enough time to get out of the Mut Valley. If Harold left Konya at will, he would seize the city and cut off the plateau. In this way, even Harold would fight with us. Together, we are isolated.”

Diognis' face was covered in cold sweat, "Then the current situation is..."

"Both Kou and I are in a situation where we can go anywhere. And in terms of the overall situation, I'm afraid the emperor is at a greater disadvantage." Taticius replied calmly.

Then he paused and looked at the rivers and reeds around him, "Actually, in the end, His Majesty chose to compromise and negotiate with Gawain. We can just sit tight and wait."

At this time, the emperor's team formed a long column, carrying magnificent saddles, royal flags, and bridles, and lined up with elite weapons. Behind them were densely packed carriages and countless military servants. And go, Having arrived at the Oles Canyon, the scouts in front kept riding fast horses and reported the news of the scouts to His Majesty the Emperor in military uniform, "The Konya dogs have completely lost their traces. Maybe Giliki felt that instead of provoking me, , not as good as It would be safer to escape into the mountains of Isauria and intercept the pilgrims from Denmark. I have warned him long ago. If he doesn't listen, he will have to suffer this fate. After dealing with Gawain, he will eventually end up like this. Like a grass bandit, he was crushed to death in my hands "My heart." The emperor put down the document and said with a proud tone, "The army continues to advance. After passing through this canyon, there are no lush meadows and market towns to provide supplies along the way. It must reach Konya in one go. ”

Amidst the sound of horns and trumpets, two of the emperor's most favored palace guards came on horseback, "Your Majesty - news from the front line, Gawain has returned to Seleucia, and it seems that he is going to attack the nobles in the Mut Valley anyway! "

What, the emperor repeatedly exclaimed, how could Gawain be so fast? Then he bent the riding whip in anger, "Could it be that Titicius and Diognis secretly set things off?"

But the court officials, generals and guards around him all said that the situation on the front line was unclear and it was difficult to make a judgment. "Should we send a message to Harold and ask him to bring 5,000 men to Miliocephalon to stop Gawain? In addition, Prince John of Pamphylia also has 4,000 garrisons and can also arrive there to join Harold." Agafi suggested.

Now the emperor feels a little passive. To what extent will Gawain control his actions? Will he plow the Mut Valley or further plunder the empire's territory? As for the former, it was not clear to what extent the Calegos family could resist Gawain; as for the latter, Gawain also had two routes to choose from, namely, going north along the valley from Miliocephalon, or going west along the sea from Fort Alaman. The emperor was still lost in thought, and before he could extricate himself, another messenger claiming to be from Pamphylia came on horseback. After being stopped by the warriors of the inner palace guard, he rolled off his horse and handed the emperor a new letter, claiming that it was sent by Prince John.

The prince's letter was blunt, accusing his father of having no merit in his current behavior: first, he sent Taitsius to pass through the Cilician Gate and occupy Tarsus in the name of assisting Antiochus, which not only formed an isolated situation, but also fell into a passive position in terms of trust; then he himself made trouble and led the army to march along the dangerous and lacking supply Anatolian Plateau, which was easy to be strangled by the enemy and unable to advance or retreat.

"The best strategy is to lead the fleet, advance by land and sea along the Gulf of Attalia, directly pass through the Alaman Castle, and steadily take Seleucia - once this city is taken, Gawain will be like a stray dog, and will give up Cilicia."
