Eagle Byzantium

Gawain comforted the prince and said, "I will soon set up a new special jurisdiction in the Port of Fasis, imitating Samos in the West, and mainly let the Armenian Chamber of Commerce settle in and do Uk Xinghai, Khazar Trade between the sea, Taulis and the northern steppes , and integrated with Trabzon in the economy and trade. The marketing director of the special jurisdiction was fully responsible for my royal merchant, Mr. Zhao Zhao, and in the following days, I continued to send business groups and expedition teams to strive for peace with the East. Kingdoms with multiple political powers get in touch and communicate with each other.”

After making these announcements, Gawain looked at David lying on the ground in agony in female clothing, sighed a few times, and said to him, "You lacked a proactive spirit in this battle. Previously, you looked down on my army and ignored my cutting-edge firearms. , asked a large number of troops to concentrate on Kars in an attempt to fight me decisively, and then after seeing my formation, you became hesitant and did not dare to The Ani people's heavy cavalry was used to attack the Haddadi-Shirfan coalition on the east side of Kars in order to open up the situation. When I entered the Holy Apostles Cathedral, I failed to make up my mind to devote the main force to a decisive battle with me there. I gained favorable positions step by step, but you kept gathering on Chakmak Mountain and did nothing. In the end, I captured and defeated all the troops."

At this time, the builder David's face became even more pale and embarrassed.

"There is no point in talking about this now. I heard that there is an eagle-shaped birthmark on your shoulder, which is the mark of the Georgian kings passed down from generation to generation. But this era is already mine. On the day of the decisive battle, I flew over the Caucasus peaks. The big vulture said it all." Gawain then made a forgiving gesture to the couple's heads, "Let's set off to the Cave of Calle Adio today, and I wish you eternal health there. and tranquility.”

The builder David's throat was choked with sobs, but he couldn't utter a word. Suddenly, he couldn't hold back his grief-stricken spirit, and he lowered his head and retched violently.

But Gawain waved his hand, and several guards came in and took the couple away.

That night, the Barationi dynasty, which had ruled the Kingdom of Georgia for many years, fell.

Gawain, who was holding the golden eagle staff, also looked at the back of David, the builder, who was led out with a little sadness and sympathy. The other party's dream of creating great achievements was completely terminated at this time, so the deposed king's feet were hanging on the ground. On the blanket, being dragged out.

Seventeen years later, as the new emperor of the Roman Empire, Stephen Governing, his wife was the "Queen Regent of Brachna Palace" Anna Gawain, the first document signed by the Prime Minister's son when he took power. The order is to give Kaleadiou Cave The Cave Monastery sent eunuchs carrying potent poisons to execute the builder David, who had been under house arrest for many years. The reason was... and the follow-up of this case also had a subtle impact on the political situation of the empire, becoming Varyag's A famous public case in the dynasty.

The most famous historian, Andodat Nicetus, who was also the later Lord Privy Seal of the dynasty, categorically denied in his books that the Queen Regent's move was ordered by Gawain before his death. His views were supported by the Imperial Patriarch Gottschalk and the Imperial Purple Chief Boluolan, and became the unified standard for official history books.

However, many monk writers of the Cave Abbey School, in their private secret histories, vigorously attacked the late Emperor Gawain, saying that he was colluding with the Queen before his death, and it was at his request that Queen Anna got rid of the poor builder. David, lest this man might harm the empire in the future.

This controversial case is a thing of the past and will be put aside for the time being.

At the end of summer, the city of Trabzon, which is close to the Black Sea, stands on three sides surrounded by mountains and one side by the sea. It is surrounded by the armies of the great Earl Mero and Diognis: among them, Orson and Haarlem. Sebastian's border troops were stationed on Eugeniros Hill in the southeast of the city and attacked the city's water gate; the great Earls Merlot and Bram Sen's Philomelon brigade and part of the Caesarian border troops were stationed on the southeastern Zagros Mountains, besieging the city's stone bridge and lower city gate; while Diogenes' brigade was approaching Trabzon. At the Angeia Gate in the easternmost part of the city, General Monomachus's Pisidia border troops attacked the Moente Gate on the west wall of the city.

The upper city of Trabzon is a long and narrow fortress built along the southern wall of the lower city protruding further south. Its Holy Mother Monastery was built against the Eugenilus Mountain.

Theodoro's body had been brought to the upper city by the siege army. His wife Marianne was in grief. She screamed and wailed, tore her clothes frantically, and lay on her husband's cold body. Above all, I regret that because of her sister's instigation, my husband has fallen to this point.

And Theodoro's armored squire who once predicted a dream, felt guilty that he had unintentionally brought disaster to his master, so he jumped from the high platform of the palace next to the Notre Dame Monastery, and fell to pieces.

Later, Theodoro's eldest son Monsanco and eldest daughter Gabu Yaxia, who were not from Marianne, took this opportunity to join forces and colluded with the chamber of commerce and the Jews in the city who were unwilling to resist at all. He formed a group of henchmen and attempted to break into the palace and depose and kill Marianne and her son Dimitri.

At the critical moment, Trab's matriarch Marian had no choice but to take Dimitri to take the lead, escape from the twin towers in the upper city at night and run to Mount Eugeniros to surrender to General Orson.

General Orson took in and protected the desperate mother and son, and then, under the guidance of Marian guards, captured the double gate tower at the pass of the upper city. At midnight on July 3, two thousand Sebastian border soldiers shouted, holding torches and black flags with middle finger bones, and broke into the upper city of Trabzon. Without saying anything, they killed the brother and sister Monsank and Gabuyashia, who surrendered a step later, on the steps of the palace, and slaughtered almost all the relatives and staff of the Gabuyasi family.

Thick smoke and fire flew, covering the high walls of the Our Lady Monastery that rescued the suffering of the world. After dawn, the siege troops rushed in. They killed all the way to the highest cave in the monastery, and the high steps along the mountain were full of corpses. Finally, they stopped in front of the shrine of the Black Madonna statue stained with blood, and knelt down with swords in hand to worship the Virgin Mary.

At this point, Trabzon, a foreign land that once survived tenaciously in the cracks, also ushered in its miserable sunset.

"Please rest assured to go to Tarsus City. Caesar and the great patron will certainly promise to properly protect you and your son." Then the great earl Melo said this to Marianne very kindly, and wrote a personal letter to report the achievements here to Gawain.

In the 16-9 book, the correct version!

When the letter was on the way, Gawain had completely settled the old Georgia land, and temporarily let Hadadi's servants guard Tbilisi City, and he had already moved east from this castle, and the target seemed to be Alan and Shirvan Pasha.
