At this time, there were only seven or eight wounded warriors who were still with Farov, but they still stubbornly blocked the only door leading to the hillside of the monastery with their shields, and maintained their fighting posture.

Farov knelt on the floor tiredly, looking up at the icon paintings in the hall, and then the light of flames flashed before his eyes.

This aroused his last memory. At the Battle of Durazzo more than ten years ago, he and many comrades of the Varangian Guards were locked in a bitter battle in the wildly dancing sand and dust of the seaside. The spears of the Norman knights were flying. The towering stance on the galloping horse is enough to pierce the sky. The ferocious enemy faces are hidden under the large barrel-shaped helmet and the dome helmet with a mask visor, going back and forth. Continuous trampling hit the front and flanks of the team they rushed into - in the end, they were helpless and hid in a St. Michael's Cathedral on the edge of the battlefield. The Normans dismounted and set fire to it. In the hell of boiling flames, Farro The husband could never remember how he survived, but that scene would always become the main subject of his nightmares.

"Swish, swish, swish", the Turkic rockets trailed the tails of light smoke and shot continuously through the windows and exhaust vents of the monastery. After they surrounded the entire monastery, they drew their bows and fired, followed by others. People kept holding arrows, lighting them on the bonfires and rolling logs, and then joined the ranks of continuous shooting.

The furniture and altar in the monastery hall quickly burned, and the air was swallowed up by the rising flames. The remaining wounded soldiers also fell one by one, their hands tightly held together and did not separate.

"Are you still going to die in the fire in the end? Forget it, end up in a nightmare." Farov gritted his teeth, and finally looked at the red mural, and then pulled out the Viking long sword he was wearing, "It's okay. Farov's sword will not cause pain, neither to the enemy nor to oneself."

After saying that, the sword turned upside down and pierced his throat. The thick count commander of the Red Hand Division fell down and was quickly engulfed in flames.

The monastery on Gaofu was reduced to a sea of ​​flames. On the path, Gawain was wrapped in a flag and charged towards the city of Nicaea without looking back.

Coincidentally, those blocking the roadside and serving as security guards were Hajib's men. "An enemy is breaking out." When the entourage told Hajib, the Attaberg suddenly saw Gawain at the front, and suddenly It opened its mouth, then cut down its hand gestures, stopping the archery team's movements.

Hajib, who was born as a slave, then actually said a very heroic sentence, "This Akin warrior is the biggest hero in today's battle. Turkic warriors cannot shoot him with bows and arrows from behind."

After hearing Attaberg's words, all the soldiers faced him, thinking how to deal with it?

Among them was Diognis, who held Eriksson tightly, warned him not to be impulsive, and blended into the team. Then Hajib seemed to think about it for a long time and gave the order "Chase behind that Akin warrior." Ambiguous orders.

At this time, the sun was like half a huge red wheel, hanging in the western sky. Gawain had already led his comrades from the red hand team to the front of the city of Nicaea, where the Byzantine army had quickly occupied the city gate. , towers and lakeside walls, stood firm. The severely injured Rom Sultan Giliki also made way for him to rectify his army - no one seemed to really care about Gawain anymore, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Only a few hundred Pauline believers, holding simple weapons, accompanied Hajib's team and followed Gawain, but they did not dare to get close to fight.

Kabeamiya, who was watching the battle from behind, saw this and said anxiously to her colleagues, "Why don't the Turkic soldiers shoot arrows?" Everyone looked blank because they didn't know the Turkic soldier named Hajib. What on earth is the commander thinking?

"Where's our archery team?" This was Cabea Amiya's second question. The answer she received was that it was still behind and had not been mobilized - Paul sent troops, and there were relatively few who were proficient in archery. Most of the subjects are ordinary farmers.

"Bring up Team Arrow, hurry up!" Cabeamiya gritted her teeth. She didn't even know why she was so hostile to this tall barbarian - yes, she had deceived everyone from the beginning. She was indeed Henuo. The Romans colluded on the condition that Bohemond promised her to hand over Paphlagonia and Trebizond to the remnants of the Republic of Teflis; while the Paulists supported the Normans to establish a country in Anatolia and attack Byzantium. Roman Empire. She had traveled with Bohemond in the hope of going to the Thracian region, encouraging the believers there to raise armies, unite with the Pechenegs, and inflict hardship on Emperor Alexios.

However, what Cabeamia told the captor that "her virginity was violated by Bohemond many times" was an out-and-out lie. She originally hoped to win the captor's sympathy and release her, but who would have thought Diogenes was a complete ascetic bastard (the Franks had great respect for noble ladies) and did not take her complaints to heart. By some strange combination of circumstances, she met Gawain, her nemesis. Not only did the trip to Thrace fail, but she also got into trouble. She didn't know if she had preserved her chastity, and she didn't dare to confess publicly. It was really heartbreaking.

Therefore she wants Gawain to die.

The arrow team sent by Paul ran forward, ready to accept the instructions of the Golden Hand Archon.

Afterwards, Gawain looked at the nearby city of Nicaea. Finally, he spat out blood, covered his chest and fell on the saddle. He had killed too many enemies, and the sword of phosphorus and fire had plundered too many enemies. The mixed genes and several killings have completely exhausted his physical strength. Now the organs and internal organs of his entire body are churning in pain.

On the battlements of the city of Nicaea, Francesco, who had returned, climbed up. When he saw the scene below the city, he said to Palomio, who was also standing beside him, "Charge over with the cavalry and take down the city." Commander Earl, rescue him."

However, Palomio's face was full of indifference and he ignored him at all. Francesco turned around and looked down, only to see that the guards at the city gate were all Palomio's soldiers. , the rest of the soldiers didn't know it yet, and were resting between the church and the square to heal their wounds.

Francesco understood immediately. He became angry, pointed at Barromio and shouted, "You are disobeying the army's instructions and abandoning the heroes who fought for this country and this army."

"The Roman army does not need heroes, let alone a foreigner to be a hero." Finally, Palomio sneered, turned to Francesco and said, "If you want to save, then go Save it. I won't stop people like you from doing anything stupid. But don't encourage my soldiers."

As he spoke, Francesco felt that several of Palomio's soldiers were approaching quickly from behind him, trying to trap him.
