Eagle Byzantium

Bohemond hurriedly put on a smile, although in his heart he wanted to draw his sword and chop this snake-like merchant into pieces, "Now I have extremely important military information to share with you, and that is Kobuha's The army will soon cross the Euphrates River , so I hope you will use small barges as soon as possible to transport the food hoarded by various city-states in Port Saint Simon along the Orontes River to Antioch for centralized storage, because Cobuha can raid you at any time. In that case, it will really be It’s hopeless.”

Hearing these words, Moniqueni frowned with sparse and narrow red eyebrows, spitting out two red fuses like a poisonous snake, her amber-yellow eyes sparkled, and her slender legs under the wide cloak seemed to be swaying a little - - Even Bohemond felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the merchant's appearance, as if he had been killed by a cobra in the desert. He was staring at him, but the other person didn't seem to care about him, but was quickly calculating something. Soon he smiled sinisterly, showing his white but irregular teeth, which made his face even more terrifying, " Very good, I will immediately mobilize thirty barges and start transporting the food from San Simon Port here along the river. "

"Very good, by the way, notify the three city-states of Venice, Amalfi and Rela Duck of this news. I will entrust Gawain and Raymond's cavalry to escort you - also, I have asked Richard to There are several empty warehouses in the arena area we occupy, so you just need to change places to stock up on food." Then, Bohemond hunched over and slowly walked up to Moniqueni, and gently pressed his hands on the opponent's shoulders in a flattering manner, "At that time, once Kobuha besieges the city, just selling food to the army will be enough." It will make you a fortune, and you can take over all the money and assets of the knights, hahaha.”

But Moniqueni still had a sinister smile, looking slightly at Bohemond's hand, and the new army chief laughed awkwardly, as if he had touched a burning flame, and moved his hand Shrinking, Moniqueni gently raised his fingers and dusted the black shawl twice, "Then it's settled..."

In the palace area, streets and houses at the other end of Antioch City, basic business activities have begun to recover. Saracens, Syrian Greeks, and the camp of the brigade all conducted a simple barter model in exchange for their respective Required supplies, after the lively market In the alley, there stood a secluded garden. In the middle of the courtyard, Baldwin held up the letter he took out from the box and held Gawain's shoulders with great joy. "Gothschild wrote a letter saying that she was pregnant with three children." I’m 3 months pregnant, God bless me, I hope it’s a boy.”

Gawain said with half sarcasm and half congratulations, "Gothschild has just struggled out of the terrible whirlpool of the disease. I didn't expect that you would not let her go and let her get pregnant."

"You have to be considerate. How can a couple sleep on the same couch and remain non-provocative for a long time? You know, at first I would have listened to your suggestion and put a little space between me and Gottschild on the couch. The one with the sword separated us."

Gawain put his hands on his hips, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and turned his back, indicating that he did not want to hear Baldwin talk about these secrets of the boudoir anymore, but Baldwin laughed and ignored him at all, patting his back warmly. "The next day when she went to bed, Gottschild sheathed the sword. When I asked why, she said she was afraid that if I crawled over to her after dark, she would accidentally cut me, hahahaha! Then she Pregnant."

"What a sharp sword." Gawain commented, and then the two talked and laughed. Baldwin kept asking if he had impregnated Anna. Gawain replied that Anna thought it was a great sin against God because they had not yet Be formally blessed and complete the wedding ceremony in the church.

"If you and Anna have a daughter in the future, then you must use Sicily as a dowry and give it to my son; if you and Anna are a son, then the two countries should form an eternal alliance."

In this way, with Baldwin chattering, the two of them quickly passed through the path paved with flower tiles and mosaic tiles, and came to another more private small courtyard with a flower-carved corridor with a water reservoir - where the angry Raymond stood there, his whole body not matching the atmosphere of the elegant and quiet courtyard, while Godfrey and Robert Flanders were also sitting on the stone benches. It seemed that they had been waiting for a while.

Raymond is obviously still complaining about why Gawain elected Bohemond, a bastard, as "Confederate of the Army" at the previous meeting.

"That is the death of Adelbero and Beatrice, which was used by this red beard. He successfully undermined the prestige of the Priests and the Council of Cardinals. And previously he boasted that he would definitely seize In the acropolis of Achish, the internal and external military situation is currently in turmoil. We don’t need to fight for a while. We must first protect the entire pilgrimage." Gawain spread his hands and explained, and then he said to Robert of Flanders who looked concerned, "If I guess correctly, the Count of Blois is very important. He will soon run away towards Xiaoya - never look back."

Robert looked melancholy, but he had nothing to do. He just complained about why the Greek emperor did not keep his promise at all and why he was so timid.

"It's useless to complain about this. All we can do now is work together. There's nothing wrong with Bohemond being the general manager. Since he has the confidence to take down the Acropolis, he must have made thorough preparations. After all, he is a shrewd man. It's also a good thing for all of us. It was Godfrey, Baldwin and I who acted as the outer line of the city wall to block Cobuha's army; while Bohemond, Robert and Hugh acted as the inner line of the city wall and concentrated on taking down the acropolis; Lord Raymond's army was divided into two groups. The other group continued to hold on to the Holy Fountain Castle, dividing the Acropolis and the coalition forces of Kobuha's reinforcements. Department, one unit is stationed at the fortress at the mouth of the Iron Bridge to prevent the enemy from invading the city gates by boat." Gawain restated his military deployment just now, "Just now Bohemond also issued a notice that he has given access to the St. Simon Harbor. The sailors mobilized a large number of barges to replenish all the food there. Come to the city together, otherwise it will be a big problem to feed 150,000 people. After doing all this, we can definitely persevere, and as long as we persevere, I think the emperor, Titicius, Stephen, and Robert Curtis and the others will still lead the team back."

After listening to Gawain's encouragement, everyone cheered up and clenched fists to each other to express confidence, "Is this the fundamental reason why we are gathered here?" Then, Baldwin shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly.

Raymond also laughed, "Of course, it's not. We are here, of course, to seek our own best interests after the fall of Antioch."

Later, the Marquis of Provence used a Spanish curse in a particularly strong tone to express that he could not let Bohemond's ambitions go unchecked. (To be continued ~^~)
