Eagle Byzantium

"There's nothing wrong with this. After all, it's a holy war against the infidels, to regain the Lord's territory, and there are also fiefdoms to be given." First, the weakest ones walked up to Reinstein after whispering to each other. , expressing willingness to accept this contract.

Count Reinstein smiled and nodded. The stack of contracts in front of him were all printed on paper and engraved plates, so he only needed to use the spare seal left by the herald officer to sign his own. Just name it and ask the other party to sign it at the same time. The efficiency is very fast.

Several people quickly signed their names, and then Reinstein deliberately read it over to express his inspection. The content was very detailed, not only the feudal land, the special camp, and the share of the Yinzi land. , the additional "tax lesson" (i.e. Anna promised to pay from The subsidies were drawn from the taxes in Tarsus, and Anna also promised that if they conquered the towns in Cappadocia, the tax revenue would increase accordingly) subsidies, as well as corresponding publicly funded equipment, such as swords and spears , flags, vests, military servants, etc.

In short, the salary composition of this group of people is different from that of the gospel cavalry. The cavalry received the share of land and shield taxes from the holy stipend and had no hereditary rights, but this group of people had partial hereditary rights (yinzi land). But in general, the "final power of jurisdiction" over all the sacred land, including the Yinzi Land, is still in the hands of Seleucia, that is, in the hands of Gawain and Anna.

Now that Reinstein has explained the details of the contract twice and a dozen people can't hold it in anymore, they feel that there are only three ways to go:

Carrying a lot of debt, he failed to recover the Holy Land, returned home penniless, and his wife, children, and family were completely in ruins;

Returned to Constantinople to work as a mercenary for the Greek emperor, and then drove away the ashes heading to Paphlagonia;

The last way is to become Seleucia's "contract mercenary". Of course, if you do it well, you may become famous.

After much calculation, the third way is feasible.

After a dozen or so people signed the contract, a "domino effect" ensued, and more people joined in. Everyone abandoned their oath to the Count of Blois or the Count of Normandy and completely forgot about it, even including Including Gotti, who was the first to question.

In the end, there were less than twenty people left who had not signed but still wanted to accompany the count.

"Those who signed the contract, please follow me to the barracks. For those who did not sign, the magnanimous princess will ensure that you have the original property and items, and will give each of you sixty saffron coins as a Sichuan capital. You can go to the border of the Mut Valley , meet your count." Then, the cupbearer Staurachos respectfully separated the two groups of people, so as not to cause trouble, and guided most of the people towards the barracks.

Several members of the Jince Brotherhood, carrying small purses, gave the Sichuan money promised by the princess to the remaining ten or so people one by one, and then told them to pack their bags and leave here quickly.

Not long after, the report reached the Acropolis Palace, which almost made Anna laugh to death: among the dozen or so people, five more people couldn't hold back when they saw the bathhouse notice board when they left the door of the post area of ​​the Grand Hospital. The Sichuan capital she gave as a gift (which happened to be sixty saffron flowers , equivalent to prostitution), visited the Ecstasy Cave again, wanting to supplement the services that I had not been able to try the previous time, and spent my last money, so after walking out, I ran to the palace gate confidently, and Rui Enstein "re-signed" the contract.

In the end, only seven people were left when they ran to the border and met the stunned Robert Curtis.

The Earl of Normandy really couldn't figure out what happened... but he could only drag these seven people away together, leaving the land of Cornea full of desolate smoke and wilderness, and went to pay homage to his brother-in-law who was accompanying the emperor.

The 278 people left behind, including 66 knights and the rest were all sergeants, were surprised when they arrived at the barracks. The stables had been equipped with excellent horses and armor racks. In addition to the armor required by itself, there is also an independent one with a vest on it - not a vest, but a standard vest.

"You will immediately put your armor and horse into one and go to Tarsus. Your previous attire was not able to show off the martial arts of the Grand Duke and Princess, so this is enough." At this time, the wine attendant smiled brightly and twirled his fingers. He moved the nails on his vest, making a clattering sound, and said to everyone.

"Your Highness, are you really going to attack Tarsus?" In front of the writing desk of the Acropolis Palace, the little sunfish was still hesitant and asked the princess who was calm and composed, with two Cairo cats standing on her shoulders.

"This is Gawain's established strategic plan. Now that my father has retreated, it's pretty much what Gawain expected." After speaking, Anna pouted and pinched her pink chin with her little hands, "Speaking of this, I never thought of it before. "My father can be so careless and timid. He is not as fearless and fearless as Gawain."

"Maybe this is just a matter of luck. His Majesty the Emperor is not favored by fate." Agnes sighed.

"Leave these problems to the astrologers to solve. Now, just as Damanzi said to me, if you don't accept the blessings given by the Lord, what will follow may be the disaster of the Lord's descent." Anna's tone did not delay, "New attachment The three hundred special cavalry will immediately set out to attack Tarsus. Now this city is completely ours. There was an isolated island surrounded by territory, and my father only had a thousand soldiers left there. By the way, he sent an emergency military message and asked Polybi, Lambert, and Monomachus to pull out 200 men each. That card. Beamia assigned four hundred men to accompany my companions, and these forces were enough for the isolated city of Tarsus."

"However, this will reopen His Majesty the Emperor's anger against us, and even attack us." Agnes was worried, "And the outcome of that wild bear is still unknown in Antioch."

Anna's hand quickly pressed hard on Agnes's head, which was bent down to ask for instructions. With a tone of regret and hatred, she said, "You are really stupid. It's natural for Gawain." We have Gawain and his team to worry about it. We are here to run our own business. The big barbarian specially called us before he left. Act without worries - you will have to fall out with your father's power. If you strike first, you will have more strength. Agnes, maybe you need to 'enlighten' before you can fully control your power. Wisdom was dug out, just like when Minerva was chopped out of his father's head."

"Enlightenment, enlightenment, please don't use such dirty words, Your Highness." Agnes, whose head was held down by Anna and whose braids were hanging down, was almost out of breath. She held her hands on her chest and heaved violently. What is even more worrying is that Anna is now acting more and more decisively and rudely. She does not look like an imperial princess from the Palace of Lions and Oxen at all, but more like a female khan on the grassland. "I will draw up a military document immediately, Isn’t that enough?” (To be continued) ~^~)
