Eagle Byzantium

Gawain's large army of soldiers and horses arrived at the gates of Dolira'am and rested in the camp that was originally set up, preparing to continue moving forward the next day.

At this moment, his critical letter to Anna was quickly delivered to the royal box in Smyrna.

It was afternoon, and Anna, accompanied by the female officials, was leading a pair of children to play under the fountain sunshade hall. After seeing the letter, Caesar's face turned red, and his voice trembled with anger, "It's really not the same. Unreasonable accusations and accusations, and they didn’t even discuss it with me. Brenus took away four thousand soldiers, and also took the two most elite brigades to the east..." As he spoke, tears of grievance rolled down, and the female officers were so frightened that they hurried away. Dare to speak, the entire private courtyard fell silent, and the only sound of work at the large construction site outside could be heard.

It turned out that it was Gawain's own handwriting, and the accusations against Anna were listed as follows:

Nowadays, large amounts of stone, wood and earth are not sent to the siege front line, but are used to build a large arena. When your father built the Brachna Palace and spent a lot of money, the lesson is at hand;

Always remember to be simpler with yourself and more generous with your subordinates;

This time I went directly to Doli Laem Canyon instead of Smyrna or Laodicea. Because the military situation on the two fronts was uneven and unclear, I could not take it lightly and rest in peace;

Although there is a naval frontier area in Atalia, there are still not enough ships to form a complete blockade of the Pulusa sea route. Once your brother succeeds in building another barrier at Gallipoli, the Marimara Sea will be sealed off. From now on, the sea route will be blocked. The offensive will be more difficult;

From now on, you should pay more attention to tax issues, reclamation issues, intelligence issues, and academy issues, and don't get too involved in war strategy.

Gawain's last statement was obviously a rebuke to Anna for her handling of the Cretan uprising - he hastily agreed to send 4,000 troops to cross the sea for reinforcements, completely forgetting that these troops were to go to the Prusa siege position first, " Because the city of Gandia in Crete has always been considered forbidden by Venice land, if we incite the rebellion of the indigenous nobles prematurely, it will inevitably lead to the interference of the Venetian fleet. Once they send a fleet to occupy Rhodes Island, it will cause a serious threat to our maritime shipping and put us and the Venetian city-state at risk. The friendly relations established were in vain.”

The more Anna thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but smash the letter on the small table filled with flowers. Immediately, the Persian enamel vase fell to the floor. Caesar's anger made all the female officials silent, and Helena and Christopher also Sensing the abnormality of the atmosphere, she said, "I'm not leaving! I will stay in Samos County, in the city of Smyrna, and in the royal box. All female officials should not go back, let him go alone, go alone fight."

"Your Highness Caesar, but the great patron cannot be alone..." a female official reminded in a low voice, meaning that there were blond cows and brown vixens around Tarsus.

This sentence choked Caesar so much that he couldn't speak. At this time, another female officer asked, "Should we send someone to recover the original promise to deal with Crete?"

"Then my credibility as Caesar of Tarsus will be gone." Anna was frantic and in a dilemma.

Just when everyone was hesitant and Caesar was ashamed and angry at Gawain's accusation, someone in the crowd of female officials suddenly lowered his head and started sobbing.

When Anna took a look, it turned out to be the fat female officer Eudora.

"Eudora, why are you crying?"

"The letter from the patron just now reminded me of my father and brother. Especially my brother, who is also a border citizen and a member of the Genat Cavalry, was drawn to participate in the siege. A few days ago, he was injured while protecting the siege gun mount. All the tragic events , all of which can be seen in the letters previously sent to me." Eudora wiped her tears slightly.

Anna's anger subsided a little now, "Is the siege of Prusa City difficult?"

"Yes, Your Highness Caesar, my brother said that the trebuchets erected by the soldiers were all smashed, and the horses were infected and died in large numbers. They had to brave the enemy's blunderbuss and arrows to dig tunnels, and the enemy's defender was a very powerful and powerful general. A troublesome person. I think that the great patron must be feeling helpless and the military situation is in embarrassment. Are you unhappy?" Eudora glanced at Caesar and continued, "My brother's letter specifically mentioned His Highness the Patron's compassionate care for the soldiers. The dead were collected and buried, and the injured were buried. I went to express condolences in person, and also patrolled the battlefields on horseback day and night, thinking hard about strategies to defeat the enemy..."

"Okay, okay, don't go on." At this moment, Anna suddenly felt full of guilt for the barbarian, and also for--her husband was fighting on the front line in the rain of bullets and bullets, but he built a villa and paid attention to the grand arena. , it is indeed too much.

The problem had to be solved at this time. Caesar closed his long eyelashes, sat back in his chair and thought for a while. After a long time, he suddenly said, "I will stay in Samos County, but not out of anger or avoidance, but decided to do this - persuade my husband and his army to return and concentrate all forces to capture Prusa first. Yes, Gawain is now confused, so he is hesitating between the two lines. According to the intelligence from Tarsus, the King of Georgia has no time to intervene in the south for the time being, so there is no need for Gawain to return to defend, and the northern line can be handed over to General Bramson and Diogenes. Now is We must smash our fists on the western front and resolutely not give up halfway. Even if it takes half a year or even a year, we must capture Prusa, capture Prusa! As long as we capture this place, we can sweep Mysia, Bithynia and even the coast, and then interfere with Crete before the Venetians react, and be invincible. Eudora, send me ink cartridges, pens and paper, and I will write to my husband in person. No matter what, I still want to argue with him about the correctness of this strategic war. "

Anna's letter also flew in the leather tube of the saddle and galloped to Gawain's marching team in the Grand Canyon of the Plateau.

At that time, Gawain was riding a horse and flying an eagle in front of a dense forest where the army was passing to relieve boredom. Suddenly, the "Captain" circled rapidly among the long grass and bushes in front of him, and then landed steadily on the ground, folded his wings, and stared at the position under the tree.

A correct version at 16-9, 1 book, 1 bar!

"Master, be careful." Muzafi Adin, who was running beside him, hurriedly pulled Sabina's bridle and stabilized the mare, then pointed in the direction where the "Captain" was looking with his sharp eyes: in the shadow of the trees, there was a viper with its body arched, spitting out its fiery forked tongue, also facing the "Captain". The two sides were several feet apart, both silent and ready to go!

Seeing that the battle between the eagle and the snake was about to break out, Gawain also held his breath, patted Sabina with his hand to ask her to calm down, and looked ahead - the scorching sun on the plateau shone down, and the "Captain" half of his body was exposed under the wings, which were colorful, and the tips of the wings slowly began to spread and rise, and the snake also raised its head more straight, constantly making provocative hisses.

One side was like a fire bear cannon shell ready to be fired, while the other side was like a sharp spear that struck back.
