Eagle Byzantium

Gawain neatly put away the phosphorus fire sword and inserted it back into the ring. Then a member of the Brotherhood next to him came over and made an invitation gesture, "Come to the Iron Gate Castle camp. I will not be your believer." Killing indiscriminately, but I need you to sign a peace treaty. On the other hand, if your attitude does not satisfy me, I cannot guarantee that my subordinates will not act excessively."

The female consul calmed down after being surprised and panicked, and still looked at Gawain's leaving figure with hostility...

Inside the Iron Gate Fort, the sun was shining, and there were plumes of white smoke in the forge workshop and kitchen. There were cheers and cheers everywhere, craftsmen and military servants running around, those pulling carts, and those carrying trophies, one after another. The Paulist believers had their hands tied with ropes and were escorted into the empty fortress of the camp. The terrifying-looking Birel stood there holding an iron basket, guarding the group of heretics with his followers.

In the crimson tent of the Grand Duke, Gawain sat on a chair and untied the silk ropes wrapped around his gauntlets. Then Muzaffy Adin, who knelt down in front of him, held the gauntlets he took off respectfully. He turned back and kept it, "Sit down, what's your name?" Gawain asked, squeezing his left and right wrists back and forth.

"Gawain, you have actually forgotten my name until now." Cabeamiya had never suffered such humiliation before. She was immediately filled with anger and refused to sit down.

"I'm sorry, I only remember that after I was captured by the Imperial Guard, that time..."

"Shut up!" Cabeamiya was filled with embarrassment and anger, her cheeks flushed red, and she scolded Gawain. She really didn't want to mention the nightmarish fact, "My name is Cabeamiya He. Lisochir, the current Golden-Hand Archon of the Republic of Tefris, the great saint, the apostle of the God of White Light in the world, the sword and fire that punishes heretics and unbelievers."

"Very well Kabeamia. I will remember your name!" Gawain replied solemnly after listening politely to her identity.

"Actually, she is just the leader of the Pauline heresy. Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, cannot get too close to her, because His Majesty the Holy See is definitely opposed to their teachings." The confidential secretary who wrote the note on the side reminded.

"I understand, so I didn't call any of the priests and priests of the Brotherhood to the scene." Gawain nodded, and then he turned to the consul and said, "You are defeated in this battle. What else do you want to say?"

Kabeamiya closed her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and said with a reluctant attitude, "The black evil God you believe in has succeeded again. This governor has nothing to say."

"No, it's not because of belief. My cavalry company has strong horse armor, sharp spears and arrow clusters, and strict flags and formations. But on the other hand, your team is unaware of the enemy's situation, has no rules, and is in a hurry. Crossing the river, you are The commander of an army cannot escape the blame," Gawain said sternly, and then he pretended to accept the scroll handed over by the confidential secretary, "More than two hundred years ago, your ancestor Heli Socher. With Roman Emperor Basil the Great War. The other side sent envoys to negotiate peace with sincerity, but your ancestor said arrogantly that all I wanted to do was push the heretic emperor from his throne. As a result, the city of Tefris was captured by Basil the Great. Also has a different body and head "It seems that this bad habit has not been eradicated yet. This is why your followers are getting weaker and weaker." These words made Kabeamiya blush, but she really had no words to refute. I can only grit my teeth. Without looking at Gawain, he was thinking about how to take revenge. But I really don’t know if I can get out alive today.

But then Gawain stood up and changed his tone to a gentler tone, "There is no way to rescue your followers, that is, you are a prisoner and hostage, and I will negotiate with King Cuman Khan in the name of capturing you. Dedicate you to Constantinople."

"What." Cabeamiya felt that this bastard was just a cat, playing a game of killing mice.

"How, I reiterate, it is only in name. As long as I enter Fort Sophia safely, can cross the strait under the eyes of the emperor, and gain a firm foothold on the road to the Eastern Expedition, I promise to let you go."

"Do you think you can deceive the emperor like this? In other words, you can deceive me." Not only did Cabeamiya lack trust, she also thought that Gawain was ridiculously naive at the moment.

Gawain chuckled, "I wouldn't even think about deceiving Alexios, and there's no need for that - the struggle between high-level figures relies on their own wisdom and strength, but the lower-level ones are different. In fact, I What we need to do is to give all the soldiers of the Red Hand Dalian Team a psychological certificate and a flag, and they will not hesitate to use weapons against the emperor for this."

These words made Kabeamiya's eyes widen with fright. After the confidential secretary Lu Guanbi subconsciously wrote these words on the record book, he took two more breaths and hit his head hard. Scribble away.

"You mean to 'escort' me to Constantinople to claim credit. If the imperial army has any way of stopping you..."

"The Great Company of Red Hands will rise up and down, and attack the imperial army in a legitimate manner. At that time, your value will be completed, and I will keep my promise and release you. However, if you continue to fight against me in Asia Minor in the future, I will still I will annihilate you." Gawain continued to speak treacherously, which was even more outrageous than that of the Stablemaster George whom Cabea Amiya had contacted in the past.

"But, it's ridiculous. Your Dalian company doesn't even have 10,000 people, so why should you fight with that emperor?" Cabeamiya still refused to believe her ears.

"I am a priest consecrated by the Pope of Rome. Theoretically, all the troops in the Eastern Expedition are inferior to me in divine rank. Even if the commanders and nobles do not want to respect me, it doesn't matter. I will naturally win over allies. "Nowhere is monolithic. As long as we have Frank's allies, it will not be easy to deal with Komnenos. What's more, under the throne of Komnenos, there are surging undercurrents and constant internal strife."

"What on earth do you want to do, Stephen Gawain, the throne of the Roman emperor? The status of the Komnenos family? You are just a Varyag barbarian." The female consul could no longer restrain her curiosity and asked.

"That's right! There is nothing to be afraid of in the Roman Empire now. It has declined. No matter how hard the emperors try to remedy it, can he abandon his luxurious palace and quell the selfish struggles among the various big families? I His ideal is the same as Bohemond's, which is to establish his own country in a distant place, but My ideal is different from Bohemond's. He just wants to turn a certain place into his own Norman kingdom. But my Gawain's kingdom is to make the people of the world admire the happiness of my people. In songs, I treat my country as something more beautiful than the Holy Land. Tax collectors and customs can spend the money they get on real state affairs and the army. Among them, young people are vigorous, philosophy and science are prosperous and reasonable, everyone hates darkness and barbarism, and is good at learning from other ethnic groups. The army is brave and good at fighting, protecting the territory, and the church bells and prayers are played for those who really need it. , everything is so different from the world I was in. We did some experiments, but they were just experiments. Generally speaking, we still followed the methods of the Venetian State. We need to accumulate experience and cross the river by feeling the stones. In the future, when the real state is formed, its cries will be heard. More resounding than the battle trumpets of giants; and its smile will be as comforting as the caress of God.”

"A bunch of nonsense." Kabeamiya spat.

"Dare to compete with the devil and don't give in to Satan." This was Gawain's final reply. "There are very few female relatives in the Dalian team. There are only a few female doctors. They are not pilgrims, so you don't have to worry about it." After being criticized and attacked, I will allocate your residence to them, and the military judge Giovanni in the camp will make arrangements immediately. He is an upright and rigorous gentleman, so you don't have to worry at all. "

Before the female consul could answer anything, Giovanni appeared. After completing the ceremony to the Grand Announcer, he introduced several envoys from King Cuman Khan. After they entered, they knelt down in front of Gawain and held a cup of wine in their hands. Wearing a huge luxurious blanket, "King Khan met the Grand Duke He believes that you are the only hero in the world who can rival him. From the black sea to the end of the mountains, across the entire Wallachia, there is no hero like you and him. Therefore, King Khan I hope to become brothers who help each other and love each other.”

"Then this is a gift from King Khan?"

"That's right, it is woven from the entire fur of a huge black bear hunted in the mountains. When you lie or sit in it, you can be wrapped in the warm fur. It is laid in this magnificent crimson tent. It couldn't be more magnificent!" The messenger was eloquent.

And Cabeamiya over there was almost so angry that she fainted. The ox tongue sword and dagger was confiscated from her, and the grooves on it were coated with poison. If it was still in her hand, she would do whatever it took. Kill and poison these envoys on the spot! She worked hard to put together an army of believers and came to fight against the Iron Gate Fort. King Yassen Khan saw that the situation was not right in the blink of an eye and betrayed everyone.

At this time, Gawain expressed his willingness to accept the gift and quickly signed a peace treaty with King Khan. "I will set up a bargaining center in Iron Gate Castle and arrange for Venetians and Bari people to come here to trade friendly with your ministry. This Grand Duke I will not accept the gift from my brother King Khan in vain. There are still twenty pounds of gold in the warehouse, so I will give it back to King Khan!"

The messenger was very happy and said that on the auspicious day, the two sides could meet by boat on the river, make an oath to each other, and open up mutual trade.

In the afternoon, in the Iron Gate Fort, the soldiers of the Dalian Company chanted various hymns. Grand Duke Gawain reported to them the entire battle situation and achievements, "The Cumans will retreat soon, and the heretical believers will all be defeated by our Dalian Company." Annihilated, their governors were also imprisoned by me. Some of them were afraid of our achievements and abilities. They tried to throw us into this wilderness, but their ambition and conspiracy failed - I now declare that I will dedicate the Pauline consuls to His Majesty the Imperial Capital, and the remaining believers will not be punished until death. After taking the oath to serve in the Dalian team, they were all punished as servants in the army, cutting wood and building ships everywhere! To be continued ~^~)
