Eagle Byzantium

At this time, Melo and Andreev, along with several cavalrymen, came to support them, and the guards on the high embankment also held their weapons tightly, overlooking the scene. The battle might be imminent, and it was very tense.

"It doesn't matter now. The lives of the second and third glory of the empire are in my hands... and this Grand Duke is still here, ambushed by your emperor. Tell your majesty to show greater sincerity to redeem people and stop playing tricks. That's it, Diogenes." Gawain said, and then he tightened the blade even more. The two brotherhoods also took the opportunity to tie Anna's fiancé with ropes, led his horse, and headed west in Diogenes' sight.

"Take my words!" Then, Gawain put the phosphorus sword into his waist ring and turned his horse's head.

At the same time, Bramson brought half a cavalry company, whistling and covering the field under the city gate, and everywhere there were shouts of "the priest was ambushed by the emperor's killer."

"I'm ashamed. Thanks to you Andreev for putting horseshoes on the horses for the pilgrimage." After Gawain met up with his troops, he expressed his gratitude to Andreev. It turned out that this was the reason why the cavalry brotherhood under Gawain galloped in the low-lying mud. The Byzantine Roman cavalry had previously fought in Italy and Asia Minor, and almost all encountered dry terrain, so there were very few people slapping horseshoes. Andreev had seen the cavalry of Normandy or Varangia, who mostly moved in the soft and wet land in northern Europe. If the horseshoes were not protected, it would be easy to get stuck in the mud or get injured.

"Grand Duke, Godfrey's army over there seems to be moving!" At this moment, the military servant Muzafiadin pointed to the "hurricane" of the entire Sarabria and said.

"How could this happen..." Isaac, who was held hostage, and Brennus witnessed this situation. They all said in a daze, while Gawain faced the cold wind without saying a word.

In the main hall of the Brahena Palace, Alexios sat on the throne, and the colonnade was filled with his trusted orphan guards, Varangian guards, and eunuchs. The true face of the emperor. It was hidden under the tassels of the Persian triple crown, and there were rows of gauze curtains. Anna and Dido, the sisters, sat behind the throne, and there was a layer of gauze curtains.

The mechanism was in Dido's hands. This is the ingenuity of the craftsmen in the Roman court: the lion beside the fountain in the hall can make a prey posture and make a terrifying roar; and the mechanical bird hidden behind the curtain can suddenly fly out and glide after pressing the mechanism, which is amazing.

"Sister, I'm actually a little excited!" Dido whispered to Anna next to her, "Unlike you, you have already met your future husband. Can you describe Stephen Gawain? It is said that you are his patron."

"It is extremely unwise to write anything before seeing the real thing. This is Anna's wise saying. Remember this, Dido, the judgment is in your hands now." Anna could only say this at the moment. Her mood was quite chaotic. If her father really married her sister to Gawain, how should she treat the barbarian in the future. In addition, she didn't know whether the illiterate barbarian could understand her feelings...

Such torment, such slim hope. Such a frightening but slightly bitter sweetness, how long will it last...

But the sound of the hourglass passed away. Even Alexius showed an unhappy expression on his face. Of course, the servants and his daughter had not noticed it yet. "Logically, both Gawain and Bohemond should have come to the palace. But, did something happen on the way?" The emperor began to get anxious. He was afraid that his strategy of killing two birds with one stone would be seen through by Gawain and Bohemond. He used the title of the Grand Duke of Anatolia to induce Gawain and Bohemond to swear allegiance, and then used the release of Peter to provoke Gawain and Bohemond to fight each other, so as to prevent the pilgrim army from being united and maximize the benefits of the Roman Empire.

But in the current situation, is he too arrogant? It seems that these barbarians have become immune to the sophisticated calculations of the Roman Empire.

Anna and Dido, who were behind the curtains of the throne, also felt a little uneasy. Anna was full of tension and secretly pinched her hands, while Dido stretched her small neck, stared with big eyes, and looked at the corridor over there along the soft gauze, expecting the appearance of the target.

After a long time, with the shouting of the honorific title, Nicodemia, dressed in full dress, walked in quickly with several warriors and eunuchs. Alexius' spirit was also lifted. The two important guests finally arrived, so he sat firmly on the throne, making himself look more mysterious and majestic.

There was the sound of boots stepping on the marble floor again. Anna's shoulders shrugged violently, and the hands in her sleeves kept pulling the silk laces. She wanted to see the big barbarian, but didn't want to show it too obviously in front of her sister. At this moment, Dido chuckled, because Anna happened to sit on her right, so she raised her toes and fell on her sister's knees, winking at Anna mischievously, and Anna also smiled back a little embarrassedly.

Then she heard Dido say, "Hey, this barbarian is so interesting, his hair is all red."

Anna also turned her head in surprise. Following the light and shadow between the colonnades, she did not see the tall, brown-haired "barbarian", but another nobleman with a cold and complacent expression walked by: the treacherous appearance unique to the Normans, and his face could be considered handsome, but he was not as appropriate and gentle as Gawain, but full of coldness.

The appearance of this red-haired nobleman was indeed very similar to the description of the appearance of the former Norman bandit Guiscart that Anna had read in the book. The cold murderous aura wrapped around her body and the mental attitude of doing whatever she wanted made her, a noble Roman woman born in the purple palace, feel unhappy.

"Sister, is this man the husband my father chose for me? I feel a little scared." Dido couldn't help but hold Anna's hand, her body a little cold.

"Is it Bohemond de Tver?" When the red-haired noble lord came around and stood in front of the hall in front of the emperor's throne with an indifferent expression, the eunuch turned around and asked specifically.

"I should have informed you when I entered just now!" Bohemond said so presumptuously to the eunuch, and it seemed that he didn't care about the etiquette of the palace at all.

"Okay." Just when Nicodemia was about to explode, the emperor on the throne spoke, "Why didn't Stephen Gawain come?"

A correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 bar!

Bohemond knelt down in a pretentious manner, and then faced the emperor's question, and continued to answer with a smile, "I don't know, maybe that guy doesn't want to come, maybe when that guy walked, his horse's hoof sank into the mud? Hehehe, but I advise your majesty not to pay attention to that humble and barbaric guy, or give me the promised me as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Dido thought that "promise" was her, and she was so scared that she just wanted to get into her sister's arms. (To be continued ~^~)
