Eagle Byzantium

But apart from grandpa, there are others around Little Sunfish - the three beautiful girls sent by Gawain. Compared with the owner of the manor, they are completely carefree - the two of them are sitting under the shade of the trees in the forest garden. Throwing the lamb leg bone, the other person raised his hands, covering the Mediterranean farmer's straw hat that was about to be blown by the sea breeze, and was squatting in the grass picking beautiful flowers.

Alas, there is no one who can fight.

Only now did Agnes admit in her heart that brave warriors like brown bears could still protect others in critical moments.

A shadow covered the clothes and hair of the thinking little sunfish, and then grew bigger and bigger. She raised her head, and the originally golden autumn sun was swallowed up by large black clouds at some point, and the entire world and ocean turned black. Suddenly, the wind swept in from the sea. The little sunfish stood up, and the blown grass kept fluttering her feet under the skirt. At this time, the lighthouse at the end of the promontory suddenly burst into flames. On the water not far away, Roman warships with pitched sails passed in front of the Mytilene port. The sailors wearing blue smocks on the masts were Wave the flag and keep signaling to the shore.

"In the direction of Seleucia, there is a giant pirate, Bohemond, whom His Majesty the Emperor hopes to capture. Under the protection of the warships of the Tarsus rebels, he is raiding in the direction of Rhodes Island. As the elite of the Emperor, we It’s time for the orphaned archer to make a contribution! "No!" A long time ago, on the edge of the cliff outside the Plani Manor, fifty guards and archers formed a team. The leading guard officer lectured impassionedly, "There are only old men and girls in this manor who need our supervision, and we don't need so much manpower." , just leave twelve people in the guard tower here."

After finishing speaking, the other archers of the imperial guards all wore half-armor made of willow leaf armor and embroidered crimson long-breasted robes. They carried shields and cylindrical leather arrow baskets on their backs and walked down in an orderly manner holding flags. They reached the road to the cape and boarded the ships under the clouds and strong wind. Behind the window of the manor barn, Agnes disappeared into the buildings and shadows, her eyes fixed on the movements of the guard archers, "The captain has left thirty-eight people... there is a deputy The captain and eleven soldiers stayed in the tower at the entrance to the manor..."

Two days later, the wind died down, but the dark clouds and cloudy skies remained, and the sea became increasingly unstable. In the evening, a ship with a broken mast and half of its sails burned off sailed into Mytili in a mess and commotion. In the Nigerian port, many fishermen saw the boat on the deck after approaching the pier. Half of them were oarsmen, and the other half piled in the middle were all dead and injured. Some of the dead had pointed wooden spears and blunderbuss stuck in their bodies, and some had their heads split open by flying stones, and blood flowed along the gaps in the ship's deck. It kept bubbling, and the injured were lying nearby in dense numbers, moaning and praying one after another.

"Dozens of warships fought in the Gulf of Atalia. I have never seen such a terrifying formation. I didn't know there were such ships in Tarsus before - they were as tall as a fortress. The emperor and the general Many ships were sunk, and hundreds of people died. The Earl of the Navy fled back to Atalia. Many wounded were sent along the way to Rhodes, Chios, and Samos, where they were simply The enemy's light ships are still chasing us and setting fire to them. Now the entire Atalia Bay is occupied by them. It's terrible!" The captain pointed at the casualties and pools of blood all over the deck and said in shock. He shouted to the fishermen who came to help. It seemed that he did his duty. He sailed the boat for more than a day and a night, and just sent the wounded in his hands to the populous island of Lesbos.

"Oh, why not send it directly to Smyrna?" fishermen and local residents asked in various directions while carrying the wounded to the shore.

At this time, the captain said angrily, "This is a merchant ship requisitioned by His Majesty, flying our own Roman flag, but now Chios and Smyrna are Italian colonies. They saw me on board Not only did my flag not come to rescue me, but they also used stone catapults to drive me away. I am really a toad in the swamp." After hearing this, everyone was very angry, asking who owns this holy sea? What belongs to us in Rome belongs to Italian businessmen!

The twelve archery guards in the sentry tower also ran out. When they saw that two of the wounded who were being carried over to die were actually their own comrades, they became excited. They shouted and grabbed them. They were carried bloody into the spacious courtyard of Pulani Manor.

There, the three Ani girls were so frightened that they turned pale and screamed repeatedly. However, Maglendius and Agnes soon walked out calmly and expressed their willingness to take on the responsibility of rescuing the two archer guards. Casualty Responsibilities.

Soon, the two wounded people were carried to the bed board under the corridor. Agnes lit the lamp. Grandpa squinted and took out a box full of precision instruments, as well as jars and glass bottles containing various potions and ointments. , and then began to wipe the wounds of the wounded with a fine cloth soaked in medicine.

The soldiers with bows and arrows gratefully retreated outside the gate of the manor, consciously standing guard for the grandfather and grandson.

At this moment, Puclips and his stupid nephew, carrying some inexplicable gifts and a group of armed serf thugs he had raised privately, came to the gate and loudly asked Maglendius to come out and talk to Sun Yat-sen. The marriage and dowry between the daughter and his nephew.

"Go away!" The deputy captain of the Archery Guards standing at the door suddenly pulled out a single-edged saber, put it on the butler's neck, and said fiercely.

Uncle and nephew Pukripps were so frightened that they pissed themselves and ran back...

Alexios was furious at the disastrous defeat in the Gulf of Attalia. "When did Gawain's fleet become so large? Not only did he have Maldaites serving as sailors, but he also had new-style fortress warships, with wheels and Khitan fire guns on them. He defeated Apsomatus and now Asacidus. He obviously wants to defeat my few naval forces and allow Bohemond to return to Apulia safely. Do I have to use my trump card now?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the information that was just sent to me from Attalia!" The imperial ink officer hurried in.

As a result, this information made the emperor even more surprised. "What! In the previous naval battle, Bohemond, who tried to escape by boat in Gawain's fleet, was shot dead by our sailors?"

"At least that's what Gawain said to His Highness Brennus now. He said that although Bohemond had a high status, he had a tragic fate. He was shot in the forehead by a stray arrow in the fierce battle on the water and died. Now he has been put into the coffin. Gawain also hopes that the emperor can release Bohemond's coffin and body so that it can be transported back to his hometown of Aversa for burial." (~^~)
