Eagle Byzantium

Osdu is the most proficient and valiant warrior in the Sagittus tribe. He makes a living by selling his force to various employers. He rides the fastest divine horse and uses the most gorgeous horned bow. Even the feathers on his arrows are from the city of Venice. Specialties come, carry the most Sharp scimitar - Osdu was supposed to be the chief of his tribe, but because he made the biggest mistake, he once had an affair with his blood sister whom he had always admired while drunk. An unethical relationship.

After the situation was revealed, Osdu's leg was broken by his father, and he ran to the orthopedic doctor in Samosata City for help, which saved his life. Therefore, it is shameless to stop inside the Sagittus people, and wander around with a bow and a horse outside.

But Osdu still has a dream, that is, to rely on his own strength to build a city as magnificent as Samosata, become its master, and then take over his beautiful sister Tang Wu. Once they are officially married, they no longer have to rely on the clan's rules and ethics to live their lives.

Now Osdu is working under Toros Ruben, and his annual salary is ten pounds of gold. He is far away from his dream of becoming the master of a metropolis.

Just now, Osdu fired seventeen arrows from behind the fence crenels, killing seven Armenian warriors, and successfully resisted the enemy's attack on the city gate. Thoros, who returned to the hall, rewarded him with a few gold and silver coins of various colors, and urged, "Have the reinforcements from all Edessa not gathered yet?"

"Your Excellency, I have sent requests to Antioch, Khorasan and other places. After receiving your monetary gifts, they will gather on the other side of the Euphrates River and immediately head to the fortress here to defeat the pagan enemies. Defeated." Osdu said to his employer with confidence as he touched the exquisite patterns on the arrow bag on his back.

Toros waved his hand and sat on the chair decorated with diamonds and gold edges. He drank the amber wine and said impatiently, "These people are still unreliable. Since the sudden death of the Seljuk Sultan, Edessa and Armenia have been in disarray. If no reinforcements arrive after half a month, Come, I will surrender the city to the Norman pilgrim."

Several city officials standing nearby looked at each other and said worriedly to Toros, "Now Samosata is very isolated in the surrounding area. We are worried that even if reinforcements arrive and repel the foreign enemies, others will Instead. What's more, in order to raise the money for help, we have already plundered the people under your rule. If you don't show your sincerity, I'm afraid we won't be able to collect taxes here. "

Toros angrily threw the wine glass on the small table and shouted to the city officials, these tax dollars are nothing, as long as I continue to control the city of Samosata. I have inexhaustible wealth and no one can do anything to me. Then he asked Estu, "Get ready with fifty cavalry. Once the banner of reinforcements appears on the other side of the Euphrates River, light a signal bonfire on the tower. We will attack from inside and outside to wipe out all the pilgrims and Armenian bastards!" "

Two or three days later, with his hunched back and carrying a large bunch of keys, Toros came to the cellar of the tower one by one and inspected the mountains of gold and silver coins that he had collected. Walking slowly up the stairs back to the hall, he felt much more relaxed at this time. Because the enemy's successive sieges were all defied and resisted by Esdu skillfully. Although this Turkic mercenary officer is sometimes weird and disgusting, his abilities and martial arts are still quite outstanding.

As long as we persist for one or two more days, the Turkic armies from all directions should arrive. After all, whether it is Yaghi (Governor of Antioch), Ridwan (Governor of Aleppo), Kobuha (Governor of Mosul) ) or Dukak (Governor of Damascus), in order to prevent this group of Christian pilgrims from crossing the Euphrates River, they would not sit back and watch the fall of Samosata! And once my city is rescued, those citizens and businessmen who dare to collude with the enemy must be severely retaliated and punished.

With this thought, Toros sat on the chair again, looking at the wounded soldiers who were bandaging their wounds and moaning by the fence. He made a disdainful sound at the corner of his mouth, then picked up the wine soaked in ice cubes and poured himself a glass of wine. stand up.

"Grandfather, please don't do this in front of the soldiers. Yesterday I was in the hall and heard their resentful and angry voices, and I felt very scared..." At this time, Toros' granddaughter and the apple of his eye, Meisang De, holding a wine flask, stood sideways uneasily behind the curtain that could shield her, trying to persuade her grandfather, because through the gauze curtain, she saw a few Turkic soldiers on the fence over there, throwing their weight at this side. Looking at him with terrifying hatred, I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine.

But the old man was not moved at all. Just when Mesander was about to continue admonishing, a huge cheer came from the turret on the other side of the city wall, shaking the utensils and cups in the whole room. "What is it!" Toros He excitedly supported his body and stood up, no longer paying attention to his granddaughter, but walked alone Arriving at the corridor between the towers, he rushed all the way to the turret. He saw many soldiers cheering, while the enemies besieging the city broke out in frustration. Toros could clearly see that on the other side of the river flowing by the city, Countless black and crimson battle flags appeared, as well as countless cavalry.

The bonfire was lit, and Toros shouted excitedly, "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming! Esdu, Esdu, prepare the cavalry quickly, we have to counterattack and get the reinforcements over."

In the fortress between the inner and outer cities, Osdu led all his men, climbed on horseback, began to carefully string the bow, and turned around and raised his arms, asking the lord not to worry: the glory and victory of the immediate attack must belong to our army.

So Toros Reuben turned around comfortably, left the fence battlements full of smoke stains and blood, and walked back to his hall, feeling overjoyed. Then he sat on the noble and gorgeous throne, stepped on the silk carpet, and waited for good news about the battle.

Soon outside the Acropolis, the sound of horse hooves and weapons colliding was like thunder, and the sound of killing went straight to the sky. Several guards came one after another and reported to him: Osdu drove his horse out of the side door and shot and killed many elite warriors of the enemy, and the enemy did not dare to stop him; and on the other side of the river, the cavalry of the Emirs and princes were also rampantly trampling on the weak lines of the enemy besieging the city, and were charging towards our city walls.

So Toros smiled triumphantly, while his granddaughter Mesandre on the side had more sweat on her forehead. She saw that the soldiers on the walls and towers did not seem to be defending at all, but took out their weapons one after another, and seemed to be inadvertently surrounding the hall. The ominous premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger, so she reminded her grandfather whether she should go to the corner tower to watch the battlefield situation in person.

"No, no." Grandfather always said this.

About an hour later, the stairs at the entrance of the hall came with the sound of excited footsteps, accompanied by the excited and joyful voice of Osdu, "Reinforcements have rushed in, we are rescued!"

Toros stood up happily, and then he saw Osdu and a young warrior wearing black chain mail, with flaxen hair and beard, walked in. (To be continued ~^~)
