Eagle Byzantium

The palace gate slowly opened. The warriors of Gawain's guard, wearing nose helmets and red feathers, took the lead in stepping onto the roads and floors of Bodine's palace with loud shouts. The soldiers of the Royal Guards stood in shame on the school field in front of the Palace Armory. They listed their weapons, shields, armors and flags on the ground, and let the military servants of the victor's team take them away. Several Slavs The noble officers could not bear it and committed suicide in advance.

Soon the flags on the tower were replaced by the Lion of St. Mark and the red-handed cross sword. Bodin's carriage lowered the curtain and stopped quietly in the remote garden at the back gate of the palace. The heartbroken prince stayed there. Among them, several unarmored guards stood around.

The sun suddenly flashed in. It was a man dressed as a red-bearded barbarian. He roughly opened the curtain. He looked up and down at Prince Zata, who had a look of fear and humiliation on his face. He muttered twice in Varyag dialect and then carried the curtain. Pick up the battle ax and re-enter the palace to "accept" the loot.

About half an hour later, Bodin's female relatives all came out "safe and sound". Previously, Bodin specifically asked his wife, maids and daughters not to apply makeup, so as not to attract the enemy's bestiality, but at this moment, before The discipline of the army that came to occupy the palace was acceptable, so for the sake of inherent honor, these women dressed up and walked out proudly.

Then in the palace and the palace, Gawain's guards, the servants of Farov's company, and all kinds of Venetians and Amalfis were all flowing in, silently and efficiently plastering their respective places in various places. seal, indicating that these names will be Expensive silk curtains, street stalls, enamelware, silver tableware and candlesticks, marble sculptures, and all kinds of expensive furniture were all taken over by themselves. A small team even walked into the kitchen to package the cinnamon, pepper and other spices inside. The package was bundled and shipped out. The whole process is harmonious. is friendly and fully demonstrates the gentlemanly demeanor of the Venetian and Red Hand Dalian Team.

Even not long after, the soldiers of the company came into contact with the Miyagi female family members staying in the courtyard: the pretty boy Wright was soon holding hands with a woman with the title of Zatar noble in the shadow of the colonnade. Together, cuddle up. Speak sweet words to each other.

"You mean, you have dedicated your life to the Archduke's company, and if you are romantic, you will only have this half a moment left?" The lady fell into the arms of Wright, who had her eyes closed and was deeply in love, and whispered. .

"Yes, my mistress. My patron, the lovely person who guides me on my way forward. Kissing your lips and kissing your eyelashes will be my inexhaustible motivation to go to the Holy Sepulchre. When I arrive there When you are on the other side of glory, I will continue to love you for the rest of my life and pray for your happiness and peace. So, without further ado, where is the nearest dormitory?" Wright said, tapping the woman's chin with his finger. Lift gently. Speaking of.

But the woman suddenly screamed, broke away from Wright's arms, and leaned back against the pillar: in the shadow, a tall, strong man stared coldly with a pair of light blue eyes under the brim of his helmet. Looking at them, there was an unsheathed sword hanging on his belt.

"I am mobilizing female pilgrims. To raise funds for the Dalian team, Your Excellency the Grand Duke..." I don't know when and where Grand Duke Gawain broke into Wright who was on inspection and immediately knelt down. Explained with a cry.

Gawain was silent, like a bear looking for food. He lowered his head slightly and walked between the two of them. The lady wanted to run away, but she couldn't move. Then the Grand Duke's eyes "nailed" her to the pillar and pointed at Wright who was kneeling on the ground, " Did he actually violate and deceive your chastity?”

The woman's face turned earth-colored and she shook her head hurriedly.

At this time, Andodat came up and asked the Grand Duke if he would follow the new military order. Gawain said in a deep voice, "Since there is no big fuss and no too real crime, there is no need to castrate Wright."

Hearing this, the woman was so frightened that she covered her mouth, and Wright subconsciously touched his crotch, feeling cool.

But then the Archduke came to him and said, "But you have to be whipped in front of the whole company to set an example! - Let me ask you Wright, will you have the guts to accept the punishment calmly in front of six thousand soldiers and brothers? , not moaning or scolding?”

"I can still do this, Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Wright's face turned pale. As long as he could keep the "core parts", he would not hesitate to throw away some flesh and blood.

Gawain nodded, and then he said kindly to the lady, "Return to your ranks, woman. Have nothing to do with my soldiers anymore."

The noble lady's teeth were chattering, but she still exchanged salutes with Gawain, and then ran down the steps.

In the evening, Bodin and all the prince's guards who had been stripped of their armor, as well as the nobles' servants and women's families, dejectedly left the city of Za'tar from the land pass. The soldiers of the large company of red hands were at the foot of the hill. Their cheers shook the heaven and the earth.

Then, the Venetian colonial team hurriedly arrived by boat two days later and began to operate the blocks and docks - forty brothers and three hundred immigrants, craftsmen and merchants from the city of Bari also arrived with sail about a day later. Gawain was to stay and manage the power of a fifth of the block.

In addition, fifty newly recruited soldiers got off the ship that was sheltered from the wind in the branch of Zatar Port: the city of Bari has never recruited volunteers for the expedition among the pilgrims visiting the Saint Nicholas Cathedral. Interrupt.

Most of these soldiers were from Italy. They were full of confidence. After receiving chain mail, scale armor, weapons and war horses in the temporary armory, they crossed the narrow cape bridge and came to the starting camp of the Red Hand Company under the Mix Fortress.

As a result, under the setting sun, what greeted them and gave them their first lesson was a high-built whipping platform. Wright was stripped of his shirt and stood there with his hands hanging. The other nine soldier companies, as well as the cavalry company and the craftsman company, were all lined up in strict formations and surrounded.

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

Giovanni, who had just been appointed as the "Military Judge of the Company" and "Spear Instructor", stood in front of the platform with a lance in his hand, looking as serious as ice. He was beside two executioners. Then the group of recruits looked up. On the top of Mixburg, their Grand Duke Gawain, the chief confidential officer Andeodat, the company's camp manager Melo, the cavalry flag bearer Muzafiadin, the "fleet helmsman" Andreev, and the "sword instructor" Bramson stood proudly and supervised the implementation of the flogging.

"This guy, but I haven't called him a scum and dregs yet, because of the temptation of beauty, he violated the discipline of the big company during the march, but he has not caused actual harm to the famous women of Zata. Together with the other six people who have committed such faults, even if they are members of the Brotherhood, they will never be pardoned, accept the punishment of fifteen lashes, and temporarily deprive the title of the Brotherhood. Take this as a lesson, and I will hand over the investigation of the Brotherhood's atmosphere to Giovanni. Next, execute." Gawain's eagle-like eyes swept the whole scene and issued this order.
