Eagle Byzantium

After finishing his speech, Tancred told his uncle that another matter was of great interest. Then Bohemond put down his knife and fork, stopped eating, and followed his nephew with interest, wearing a burqa and civilian clothes, and stepped on each other's shoulders. Get on a horse and go around The wooden palisades and ramparts of the camp finally reached a hillock under the remains of Antioch City Mountain. In front of their eyes, the sunlight, which became longer and longer as the seasons went by, still had its afterglow, shining on it. In a fruit forest between Achish Acropolis and our own camp.

After a while, two people, a man and a woman, walked out of the woods. Several armed church servants walked over eagerly and helped each of them onto a mule. Then the two quickly and tenderly placed their fingers on the back of the mule. , then they hurried away in different directions, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Bohemond, who was hiding behind the stone wall, raised his eyes and after a quick glance, he could confirm that the man was Adelbero, the young priest whom Ademar admired most. This handsome monk was of noble birth and was the former Salian. Caesar's nephew, many noble ladies in various camps admired him. "Who is that woman?" Bohemond patted his cheek with his palm and returned to the wall, avoiding Adelbe. Luo looked at Tancred and asked.

The answer was that she was an Italian romantic woman from the Piacenza area, named Beatrice. Her husband had died earlier and her family had some money, so she came to the pilgrim team. On the one hand, she wanted to see the Holy City and on the other hand, she Hoping to hook up with a beautiful man.

"This is their regular tryst place. During the day they pretend to play backgammon here, and at night..." Tancred stroked his flaxen beard and added that he had secretly watched the couple. Mandarin duck for a long time.

"It's impossible for the defenders in the city not to notice this pair."

"Yes, I saw the Tower of the Four Sisters (the name the Christians give to the four towers on the Acropolis of Antioch, and Achish calls it the Tower of the Four Emirates), which is the one closest to this forest. The sentry posts have been frequently mobilized recently."

"Skinny girls from Italy and cute boys from Greece are the ones who have the greatest appetite for those Turks." Bohemond said expertly, then he and his nephew lowered themselves, took the reins around, and rode on He picked up the horse and said, "The defense area here will be patrolled by our cavalry tomorrow. Tell your Osdu man to do a better job."

"Yes, no problem at all, uncle."

On the other side, Beatrice was riding a mule, her hair was a little loose, and she was wearing a silk robe and jumpsuit that could not cover her graceful body. She passed Gawain's camp on the edge of the palace area with satisfaction.

After the fall of the city of Antioch, it was severely burned and destroyed. Many Syrian Greeks and Crescent Christians (most of them were Saracens) who came to seek refuge with Gawain. Now only the Grand Duke of the Empire would not Like other Frankish and Norman lords, they robbed and massacred them wantonly), set up various tents in the camps and remaining buildings, and managed to survive.

Among them, Prince Sven of Denmark and his fiancée Florina also set up camp near the palace area. At this time, Gawain specially brought Wright, the deputy heraldry officer, and Turkish military servants to come to talk to the pair. The core meaning was " The food supply is running out fast, and Cobuha will attack soon." Then Gawain rubbed the corner of his robe with his horse-head scepter in annoyance, and said to the two of them, "If it doesn't work, I'm going to take the team to the Syrian Gate to eat. ”

"But in this case, wouldn't the city of Antioch we just obtained fall into the hands of that heretic Cobuha again?"

"Actually, the defense of Antioch does not need to be limited to the city." Gawain responded to Prince Sven's question.

At this moment, Florina suddenly walked to the entrance of the camp gate gate and greeted Beatrice intimately, who was riding a mule. The two of them were relatively familiar with each other, and then Beatrice's face was filled with joy. , got off the mule, and saluted Prince Sven and Gawain.

Among them, Beatrice's eyes specifically lingered twice in front of Gawain: the opportunity for her and Adelbero to become friends was when the Turks invaded during the fierce battle at the Dog Gate. Bello bravely rescued her from the flames of the war, and the other party was also very handsome, so they hooked up with her—— But from then on, Beatrice began to have a good impression of the brave warriors in the expeditionary army, such as Gawain standing in front of her at the moment, with his tall body, long arms and feet, rich and mighty armor and appearance, masculine Her beard, hair and blue eyes appealed to her a lot, and she couldn't help but take a second look.

At this time, the deputy heraldry officer behind Gawain, Lete Borgia, couldn't take his eyes away: As expected, the girls are still better from Italy, plump and beautiful, passionate and unrestrained, and proficient in various techniques of flirting - until Beatrice rides on After leaving with the mule, Wright was distracted and stared at her back again and again.

The Grand Duke's fist hit his shoulder, "Don't think about it, this bitch has a lover."

"Who?" Wright's face was filled with pain, as if he had been beaten violently.

"I don't know, but I can tell at a glance that her garden has just been watered, so the flowers in the garden are blooming."

This time, Light was hit even harder. He admired the Grand Duke in the entire military camp because his experience and knowledge of women were better than his own. Then the two old captains exchanged some experiences and insights on sailing and sailing in private. Seeing that Light was very disappointed and painful, Gawain comforted him again, "Here, although your team is not nominally affiliated with Adhmar, if you go to mess with that woman Beatrice and get discovered, even if you don't get punished, Beatrice will be in trouble. Don't harm her. This is also one of our principles."

Then, Gawain and Sven did not reach a consensus on whether to leave Antioch and go to other areas to eat, so Gawain said goodbye to the Danish prince's camp and went to Taitishius outside the city with the deputy herald officer Light to discuss again.

In the red tent of Titishius, the marching general was staring at a letter from Constantinople, and the turbaned guard officer was sitting beside him with an uneasy look. When Gawain came in, the two slowly stood up. "The emperor's secret letter?" Gawain pointed and asked.

General Nose Nose nodded and said that although the emperor's headquarters was in Adrianople, he was very concerned about the situation in Antioch.

A perfect version in 16-9 Book Bar!

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Ask us to reorganize the troops and help the pilgrims resist the counterattack of Cobha. After your majesty finishes the war against the rebel Bodin, he will lead the army through Anatolia to support us. In addition, your majesty appreciates your return of the coastal fortresses of Syria Gate, and he will then send officials and tax collectors to take over these areas." Titishius remained calm and rolled up the letter paper made of calfskin.

Diogenes was restless and had a complicated expression. (To be continued ~^~)
