Eagle Byzantium

Watching Mikhail's back leave, Harold pointed to the two carriages that had just been carried ashore and were mounted on the fence, and declared to Branas, "They contain people captured in Nicaea. The wife of the Sultan of Konya, a pair of children, their vizier and an Attaberg named Hajib.”

"The emperor wants to..."

"Originally, we wanted to take the land route to Amasya City, but there were many strongholds of Konya thieves along the road, which was very unsafe, so we took the sea route with me. After finishing Gawain immediately, we sent him to Da The Kingdom of Nishmund is left to the disposal of their emir Merrick Ghazi."

"Is the wife of Konya Sultan beautiful?" Branas couldn't help but ask.

Harold laughed, "Although it doesn't have much influence on an old guy of my age, I can only say that it was a mistake to leave her in Nicaea City. The Sultan of Konya is now Hiding in a mountain col, you should be heartbroken, right?"

Then, the old commander of Varangia began to order the entire army to advance. The two armies met at one place, with a total of six thousand elites, meandering towards the city of Sinop. The letter was sent to Gawain's camp. On the one hand, he wanted to find out the location of the Dalian team, and on the other hand, he tried his best to stabilize Gawain so that he would not be wary of the rear. "

Andronicus Branas supervised a hundred Plonian cavalry, gathered around and monitored the two shoulder carriages, and walked at the back of the entire team. The newly promoted Paflago The Grand Duke of Niya, a new nobleman promoted by the emperor, was riding on horseback, looking at the swaying shoulder carriages. One of them was decorated with colorful embroidery and tassels. It was obviously the one riding by the Sultan's wife. He had just unintentionally gone out. Yu curiously asked Harold. But now the more he looks at this fragrant shoulder carriage, the less he can suppress the feeling in his heart - he wants to open the windows on both sides, or lift the curtain in front, to see what the rumored beautiful Sudanese wife looks like. What kind of appearance does it have to be.

"Wow!" Branas stretched out his hand, pretending to be serious. He opened the window of the carriage, and light suddenly poured into the room. When he calmed down his breathing and was about to take a closer look, he only saw an old man with a Saracen appearance and a long white beard, and a strong man with full beard. . Look at yourself with two pairs of frightened eyes.

"I am the Grand Duke in the army, and I came here to inspect the carriage." Branas defended this sentence with great disappointment, and then the old man protested angrily, talking non-stop, using Greek to accuse Branas of An insult to a noble prisoner.

Branas turned his head away in disgust. It was obvious that he had made a mistake. He originally thought that this feminine shoulder carriage should be for the Sultan's wife to sit on, but he didn't expect... just when he thought so, the shoulder carriage over there opened its mouth, and at that moment . Branas saw Shahnami, who was disturbed by the slight commotion and stretched out her face to see what was going on.

And at this moment, there was an inadvertent glance at the sultan's soft and sad wife. Her hair was like curled violets, her plump lips were like flower buds soaked in breath, and most of all, her beautiful and slightly frowning eyebrows. Like a fully drawn bowstring, the fiery arrow hit Branas completely, leaving the Grand Duke covered in blood. Trembling of limbs.

The child's voice sounded, and Shahnami just glanced at Branas. So he closed the small window of the carriage again and went to comfort his children.

The Plonian cavalry on both sides, carrying spears and flags, passed by Branas one after another with some confusion. The Archduke of Paphlagonia stood still, his chest almost suffocating. He couldn't move, covering his head. "The wound of the arrow", that was shot from the eyes of Shah Nami...

Two cavalrymen in scarlet clothes, holding letters intended to confuse Gawain, galloped to the east side of Sinop and in front of the camp gate of the Red Hand Company at the mouth of the Harris River. Now a total of 12,000 soldiers, armed regiments, a thousand auxiliary military servants, and many war horses and livestock are deployed along the river bank. The problem of horse deaths that Gawain was worried about has been solved - this open area In the area with streams and meadows, the horses were let out freely, and about half of the horses quickly recovered.

On both sides of the river, there are high banks at a steep angle, with a wide river sandwiched between them. This makes it difficult for both sides to launch an offensive, and because they have chosen their timing more skillfully, so far, the two armies are still in the confrontation stage.

Looking from a distance at the "Black Madonna" flag erected in the opposite camp and the cavalry drills beneath it, Gawain, who was lying on the wooden tower, was very puzzled. "This team seems to be a group of soldiers of various colors. In other words, is it a small combat group? It is somewhat similar to the configuration of my own column and the Italian company."

"Sixteen people, seven wearing armor and holding long oval shields and spears, four holding swords, small shields and flags..." The sharp-eyed Bramson reported them one by one.

"Those four are the captains of this team." Giovanni explained. "The remaining five are lightly armed skirmishers."

"Look, now the four squads can easily line up with the flags and attack quickly. The archers are all in the rear sweep formation, the spearmen are at the front, and the husband captains are guarding and commanding on both sides with swords and shields. Their cavalry is also The lancers and horse archers were divided into two groups, covering each other." After Gawain finished observing, he laughed, "This old guy Theodoro really despises me. He obviously did not retain the power of his own team and was deliberately demonstrating. and showing off.”

When the news of the emperor's scarlet messenger cavalry arrived, Brumson and Giovanni were very alert, but Gawain gestured to them to calm down, then circled his fingers and nodded, meaning that I will deal with it, and you two should strengthen the security of the camp.

In the scarlet tent, Anna consciously retreated behind the curtain accompanied by Agnes and Staurachios, with a row of guards standing in front of her. Then Gawain sat upright on the couch with armrests and received the scarlet messenger cavalry.

"Your Excellency, the General of the Asiatic Army, inside is the document of Grand Duke Branas and Commander Mikhail."

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Gawain answered calmly, and then took out the bounty. The two cavalrymen took over. He unfolded the document, which said "Do not easily clash with the enemy, and wait for our reinforcements to arrive." Gawain's blue eyes shook twice, and he said to the cavalry, "Very good, please report to Your Excellency Branas and Mikhail, Gawain is at the river mouth here, waiting for the arrival of the emperor's reinforcements, breaking through the Halys River together, and annihilating or forcing the Trebizond team to surrender."

"Agnes, the critical moment has come, we must quickly find a way to get out of here to the south, and those heretics who have been kept in the dark will come in handy." At this time, Anna, who was behind the curtain, spoke calmly and firmly, holding Agnes's hand and gently admonishing her.

"Yes, yes..." Agnes was full of joy. (To be continued ~^~)
