During Marlena's scolding, Gawain also got information about Eudocia's family. It turned out that the three Eudocia brothers and sisters were just among the thousands of foreign Varangian barbarians who came to Constantinople to seek life. One, but who calls Eudocia and her sister outstanding? In any era, women always have to use beauty as a weapon, and this trick has been tried and tested. Soon Eudocia married the nephew of the "Queen's Wardrobe Manager" Nick Demea, and her other sister Ingrid Naze was married to a prominent and wealthy grand duke in Moria (the ancient Peloponnese region), but is now a widow, and her brother Yagfi has also prospered and become the emperor's security commander.

As for Nicodemya and his nephew Mikhail, they did not have a prominent background at all. The little Nicodemya was just a craftsman in the Paphlagonia region. Later, he became too poor to endure it. At that time, he castrated himself into the palace and became prosperous by serving the emperor. Before he was promoted, Mikhail was just a reckless peasant son with a brogue.

Anyway, the amount of information that this group of people in the royal family used to criticize and expose each other's shortcomings was really huge. It was so full that everyone felt like it was too much.

Just when Malena was still thinking about it, the guards came over, surrounded by General George on horseback. At this time, Malena was full of joy and saluted General George in a charming way. George also hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands first. (This is Byzantine etiquette) Bow down in front of the chief lady, "I hope that my expedition can be blessed by the two empress dowagers."

"I will pray for this victory with the Empress Dowager (Alexios's biological mother) at all the Apostolic Cathedrals in the city. In addition, I have also invited the Chaldean astrologer. It is said that he will observe the stars. "This expedition will definitely be a success." Malena. She opened her mouth to encourage the general's fighting spirit, and then she publicly promised George Paralogus in front of everyone, obviously targeting Eudocia and others, "When the time comes for your triumph, General, I believe you will not It will stop at the Royal Palace..."

After saying that, the deputy empress dowager and chief lady took off the icon pendant from her neck and hung it on the general, "May the Archangel Saint Michael bless the sword in your hand, and you will be invincible!"

"I am willing to hold this sword and kill all evil people." George Paralogus also became impassioned and replied knowingly.

Then, the general stood up, and sixteen monks in cassocks held icons and various holy objects in their hands, sang hymns, and led tens of thousands of soldiers along Metz Street to the Old Golden Gate of the Wall of Constantine. at.

Among the petals floating down, Gawain actually received such treatment. He entered the world behind the city wall just after joining the army. You must know that the captor Diognis had served the empire for twenty years and had no chance to come here. ——The destination of the parade is the vast Julian Harbor, where countless ships are waiting, Serpentine Square Famous buildings such as the Arena and the Colosseum passed by Gawain one by one. The streets here were completely different from those outside the wall. Countless nobles and foreign merchants in splendid clothes came and went like stars in the sky. " General George and the guards entrusted to him by the emperor embarked first to the fortress of Gallipoli to take over the affairs of Caesar's Asiatic commander."

At the dock of Gallipoli harbor, while military servants and soldiers were still riding in small boats, carrying heavy luggage, a group of people dressed as villagers, all looking miserable and half-clothed, knelt on the beach. All petitions were made to General George Paralogus.

The red-hand detachment followed the instructions and stood around the general in full gear. The general in military uniform stood elegantly and majestically, facing the sentry horse sent from the Gallipoli City Fortress, "Where is the noble Caesar of the Empire now?"

"Caesar is handling military aircraft in the official residence. He asked the general to come and discuss it together." The sentry horse said respectfully, then dismounted, holding a lead letter in his hand, and leaned over to hand it into the hands of General George.

Gawain, who was holding the battle ax behind him, couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This Caesar was an out-and-out bastard. Three months had passed since he was defeated by Zahas, but this Caesar was still Sitting in Gallipoli and doing nothing at all, the explanations presented to the palace were "discuss again", "allow for further discussion", and "please allow for further discussion".

Sure enough, General George also sneered. He did not open the lead letter at all, but threw it to the guard beside him, "I am now under the emperor's order, as the royal steward, to oversee all military command in Asia. And the frontline disposal power, the Imperial Caesar will be recalled to the palace soon. "

Hearing this, the sentry horse did not react for a while, and stayed in place, continuing to bend down. George made his words more clear, "I will set up a temporary tent here and call Caesar and all the others." All the officials came to see me and I had an order to convey."

The sentry horse still stayed where he was, not knowing what to say. At this time, George's tone became extremely stern, "Repeat my order, and then leave here to perform your mission, soldier!"

Then, he turned to the kneeling people and extended his hand kindly, "I would be honored to help the residents of this magnificent fortress. I previously served in Dirasium for seven years and in the Governorate of Bari for four years. This is the first time in my career that I have gone to Asia Minor for an expedition. I must get your help and support."

"Save us... otherwise the whole of Gallipoli will be destroyed." The village elder who took the lead looked at the soldiers around with suspicion and fear. Then he saw the army of the Royal Stable Master. Even the ordinary soldiers were wearing colorful smocks and strict chain mail. The weapons and flags were in order. They looked absolutely not comparable to the hyenas under Caesar Macolinus. So he made up his mind and continued to appeal to General George, "Listen to the wailing of Gallipoli. Before the Turks came, this most beautiful and rich town and fortress outside the imperial capital would be destroyed."

"Tell us your appeal in detail." George was very kind, but his tone was firm.

"Please hurry up, General! Either you execute us now, or go and save our village! They will all be trampled and burned by Caesar's army - if I can still live, I would rather call him a vicious dog - merchants, farmers, craftsmen, and all the good people in Gallipoli will be slaughtered by them." At this time, several strong men next to the elder shouted first, and then the people cried loudly.

After George Paralogus continued to listen to them, he took the token from the attendant and handed it to Farov, who was staring at the side, "You go and solve it, Lord Count Farov, take your people."

In the 16-9 book, the correct version!

However, Farov did not take the token, "I don't know if it is appropriate to take my people to do it, General."
