Eagle Byzantium

The frightened Robert had no idea about the battle situation between Germanico and Anglas, nor did he know that his brother-in-law had actually been captured by Gawain. He only knew in the tower that "Theodoro Gabua" This Greek separatist general suddenly commanded an army to invade my territory. "

So Robert hurriedly asked for help from General Marinus, who was stationed at Castamonu, and asked him to report this terrible horror to the emperor. At the same time, he also sent a messenger to Fort Germanico asking for help, "Brother-in-law" Save me!" He rushed out of the castle with dozens of knights and sergeants to find out.

On the coastal plain, among the vast cultivated fields and pastures, the Black Madonna flag held by Trabzon's peasant army was particularly conspicuous. The soldiers set fire to and plundered people and livestock everywhere, and detachments advanced towards the castle.

Robert Curtis had just rushed in front of them, and before he asked anything, the Trabizond peasant army forwards shouted and lined up the Juma wooden forks they carried on their backs, and then lined up behind them, with dense arrows. The arrow whizzed down the wind and shot towards Robert.

The furious Robert put on his armor and rode towards the opponent, but he heard the dense crowd of people on the other side constantly shouting, "Robert has indeed surrendered to Gawain and is an enemy of the empire."

"As expected, send a detachment of Alan cavalry to capture this Norman traitor!" Under the banner of the Black Madonna, Theodoro waved his baton without thinking - the ordered column of Alan cavalry suddenly appeared like light arrows. , the thunderous sound of horse hoofs reached Robert's ears in an instant, when the newly promoted Lord Pvelar saw the Alan Hussars coming towards the ground. After that, even Puveral Castle did not dare to return. "Did the Greek emperor secretly instruct this general from Trabizon to take the opportunity to trap me? If not, I have to go find my brother-in-law!" This man then took all his followers with him. He escaped from the plains and ran into the mountains of Pontus in the south. After running wildly for a day and night on the path full of cold fog and thorns, he finally saw the front line of the Guardian Brigade.

The soldiers of the brigade received Robert and told him that his brother-in-law was waiting for him in Germanico.

The confused Robert handed over his horses and weapons, and continued to walk south under the "protection" of the Guards Brigade troops until he actually saw his brother-in-law at Fort Germanico.

"Brother-in-law, Pvelar has been attacked..." When he reported anxiously to Count Blois in the camp, the other party raised his hand sadly, "Stop talking about Curtis..." .My castle has also been lost, what’s the point of saying this..."

"I'm sorry, because General Theodoro also responded to the call of the great patron and began to raise troops to resist the tyranny of Komnenos. Capturing Pvelar is only the first step. Next, the old general will seize Sinop, Kastamonu!" Branas, the true master of the camp, generously defined the battle.

Subsequently, the Guardian Brigade set a fire, burned the fortifications of Fort Germanico, and took away all the armed provisions in its fortress. "Since Pvelar has been captured by friendly forces, "Zhan, let's draw the boundary on the spot and return to Anglas!"

At this time, in the Puveral Fort, soldiers from Trabzon's Peasant Army Division were standing all over the city walls and towers, with military flags waving everywhere, "Long live the Black Madonna, long live Trabzon, long live Gabuas!" "The slogan was deafening. When Theodoro rode into the city gate on horseback, the whole scene reached a fever pitch. Four soldiers immediately rushed over with shields, "Get out of here, get out of here." The old general's guard warriors whipped with riding whips. They beat them with sticks to drive away these drunken troublemakers, but more and more soldiers excitedly embraced the shield and raised their heads. Shouting the sacred slogans of Christ and the Virgin, many faces in front of Theodoro showed passionate and terrifying expressions, crowding around the old general's horse, pushing the guards away, and pulling the bridle of the old general's mount. And the saddle, "If I don't agree, these peasant soldiers will tear me to pieces on the spot..."

Finally, Theodoro's feet stepped on the shield, and he was raised high by hundreds of soldiers surrounding the core. The cheers drowned out the roar of the sea in the north of the city.

"Long live, long live! Let us march to Sinop, let us march to Kastamonu! No one can look back and must abide by today's sacred oath." Countless arms and fists were raised and waved excitedly, Everyone gritted their teeth and swore to bind each other to be completely loyal to the old general's grand cause. But there were also many peasants and soldiers who took the opportunity to mix and shout, "General, please give us a promise in return for our efforts."

"I will allocate all the unowned land captured along the way to you. The ordinary infantrymen will have one share, and the peasant knights will have two shares." Theodoro also became excited and immediately issued such a slogan.

"One copy, two copies! One copy, two copies!" More than 10,000 Trabzon peasant troops chanted this slogan, with their morale high. Carrying weapons, equipment and luggage, they marched toward the tin without even setting up camp. and stormed away in the direction of Fort Knop.

The entire Pontus Mountains on both sides were engulfed in wild whirlwind flames.

Outside the city of Sinop, the emperor's envoy saw the Trebizond rebels swarming towards him. They were captured before they could negotiate. The peasants and soldiers all seriously and severely "admonished" the old General Theodoro, " I hope you won’t betray us and try to make peace with the emperor!”

So far, the "honest defense system" originally assigned by the emperor to the plateau (Diogenes, Robert Curtis, Stephen, the emperor originally thought that placing these three honest and law-abiding people on the front line was the most reassuring) has been completely torn apart and bankrupt under Gawain's attack and alienation. And Theodore Gabouas, under Gawain's secret drive, could not suppress his ambition and established himself in Fort Pravel.

"Okay, now we have to go all out to deal with the emperor. Excluding the troops that the emperor must send to stop Theodore, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 enemies left..."

On March 23, at Fort Angras, Gawain, who did not continue to advance northward, immediately shouted to Diogenes, who was gritting his teeth on the top of the city wall, "Germanico has been destroyed by me, and Puvelar has also been captured by Theodore. The anti-riot army is heading towards the main force of Komnenos in two directions. So, Diogenes, you'd better surrender to me, otherwise after I break through here, I will bury all the guards alive and skin all the officers."

"Wishful thinking!" Diogenes drew his bow angrily and shot three arrows at the position of Gawain's flag as an unyielding answer.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

However, Gawain was not interested in storming the isolated Fort Angras. He left the Guardian Brigade to continue to besiege the isolated city, and he led the Red Hand Brigade and other troops to bypass it and advance along the south bank of the Sakarya River, "to bypass Philomelon's flank and annihilate Brennus and Raymond before the emperor arrives."
