Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 14 Border Guard

"Saint George!" Peter turned his head and shouted in an instant.

"Throw the sword!" The phosphorus fire sword in Gawain's hand made a small circle with the fire and flew directly out. This is indeed the close combat skill of the Norman knights. This is what they used when they were pirates in their early years and besieged the Frank Empire. It was learned from the enemy Franks, but what was thrown was a sword, not the battle ax commonly used by the Franks.

The sword of phosphorus and fire, without any bias, collided with the Eagle of Zahas in the sky above Peter's head. The sword of phosphorus and fire with great momentum even knocked the eagle upside down and flew several feet away. , then a small blue-green sun exploded The eagle's feathers filled the sky with burning fire. The body of this noble bird was destroyed in an instant. Many branches trembled in fear, as if countless ghosts were wailing and screaming at the same time. Even the snowy night's The stars have lost their light.

Finally, the devil's sword fell straight down and pierced into the snow. The surrounding area was filled with firelight, and the leaves and branches were burning in the phosphorus fire, emitting a faint and gloomy light. Gawain walked over and cut the sword again. He drew his sword and stared at Bohemond.

The three Norman knights behind him didn't even have the courage to think about it, and immediately ran away on the ground. These warriors were not afraid of facing any worldly opponents and beasts, except demons.

"Bohemond, I'm here to send you to hell where you have no fear." Gawain walked over with his sword raised.

Bohemond was so frightened that he staggered and smashed the mazza below. He lost his composure and grabbed his sword. "Tonight is really a legend. The Varyag with an unsheathed sword." Oh, I will live to tell the world about your harm to God and believers. "After saying that, the man in black quickly brought two horses. Bohemond jumped on, and the man in black got on the other horse. Several other knights guarded him with swords and shields. All around, Bohemond then waved his hand and gave the order, "Crossbowmen, shoot Peter to death."

Gawain's ears twitched. Although he couldn't believe it, he did hear the subtle sound of levers moving in the woods far away beside him. "Could it be that the genes of the falcon were also plundered by me?" His eyes followed the sound, and he clearly saw three figures, two holding short stick-like shooting tools, and one with a Danish recurve bow in his hand, and then three arrows tore apart It split the air, spinning from different directions, and flew towards Peter.

"Stop calling Saint George, I am your patron saint!" Gawain quickly threw Peter down. Three arrows flew over his head and side. One of them was running with his back to them. The Norman knight was hit twice in the back. He groaned and fell to the ground motionless.

Horse hooves sounded, and then three archers screamed and rolled down from the edge of the ambush woods - a warrior shouted in Greek, "Bohemond, you can't escape this time!" stepping on the archers. His body, along with several other riders, flew out of nowhere and chased Bohemond in the direction of his escape.

Bohemond looked back and laughed wildly, "It turned out to be a vicious dog raised by Emperor Komnenos. After three months, it still caught up with me!"

The knights in the retinue immediately turned back to fight, trying to block this "bad dog warrior" for their master. One of the knights half knelt down, raised a small hand crossbow, and flew towards the warrior who was charging towards him. One arrow.

The warrior turned the horse's head and lowered his body. The Norman-style long kite shield he was carrying hung down just in time, blocking the crossbow arrow with a "clang". Then on the galloping horse, the warrior stood up again, unaware of the ghost. Xiaodi fully drew the horse bow in his hand and shot an arrow back. The knight holding the crossbow screamed miserably. He was hit by an arrow in the face and died on his back.

"I am the emperor's border guard, Diogenes Atreras, the Norman bandits are coming down quickly!" the warrior shouted, then he flew off his horse, pulled out a long stick-like weapon from the saddle, and Fight on foot with three Norman knights who rushed over.

Gawain could hardly see clearly the skills of this Byzantine captor, because he was too fast. He was not like the Normans who won with brute force and courage, but more similar to the agility of the Turks and the cunning of the Greeks. The strange weapon in his hands The long stick, no, is actually an iron-headed flail that is difficult to use, like a sea snake It danced like the wind, first it broke the tibia of a Norman knight, causing him to fall to the ground unable to move - then Diognis turned the movable iron head at the front of the flail like a windmill, and pushed it back to the side. The attacking enemy took a few steps forward and approached the Norman knight standing in front of him.

The knight instinctively raised his shield to protect his body. As a result, Diognis quickly stretched out his flail, and the iron head rotated, bypassing the shield's protection, and hit the opponent's head in an arc with a crisp sound. , the other party didn’t even shout, his head was covered with blood, he knelt on the ground, and then fell down.

Then, the guarding officer gave a backhand, knocking the man next to him to the ground.

On the hill on the opposite side of Bohemond's path, several Diogenes' men emerged shouting, holding up spears and bows, and forced Bohemond and the man in black back. There, the guard was waiting for him, holding his flail in a relaxed position!

"Today is really the day when Satan appears. The evil dogs and devils are entangled with me." At this time, Bohemond did not forget to joke, and then he shouted to urge the horse, holding the sword flat, towards Diog Nice pounced on him, trying to kill him.

Diogenes bent down, and Bohemond's sword blade directly brushed against the shield he was carrying. Then Diogenes threw the flail smoothly, and the iron-headed flail flew a certain distance and struck steadily. When it reached the leg of the horse of the man in black who was trying to escape by another way, the horse immediately fractured and threw the man in black off the horse.

Several riders under the oncoming guard officer used their swords and spears to force Bohemond's horse to a stop. Bohemond raised his long sword and slashed at them over and over again, but the opponent's east side Dodging and dodging had no effect at all, all he could do was roar and vent his dissatisfaction.

Diogenes quickly used a lasso, like a shepherd lassoing a horse, and swung it around Bohemond's neck. Then with a pull, the Norman leader was pulled upside down. When he got to the ground, "You bastard Diognis, how dare you do this to me!" he shouted and got up, but Diogenis took two steps back and pulled again. Bohemond was dragged to the ground again. The rope was very strong and could not be cut with a sword. It looked like he was playing with an animal. Several times in a row, Bohemond could only gasp and yell angrily. Throwing the sword aside, he lay on the ground and stopped struggling. The subordinates of the guarding officer swarmed up, inserted a wooden pole into his back, and tied him tightly with ropes.

"I will give you a ransom. My secretary will give you a large sum of money personally within two months. You cannot harm me with such a noble status. You must ensure my safety during this period." Bohemon De was brought before the officer.
