Eagle Byzantium

The horrified screams arose, "Allahu Akbar, shoot the infidels' mounts first!" Hajib in the reeds shouted, brandishing his knife, and with the sound of fork bells bursting out, the Roma soldiers shouted They screamed in horror, and fired countless sharp arrows from their hiding places. Many of the horses in the Danish team were shot over in an instant. Many people covered their feathers that were submerged in their bodies and crawled around screaming.

Sven on horseback was stunned. The Greek shepherd in front of him had slipped away at some point. He turned around and looked at his fiancée, who also had a pale face, and then gave her a hard whip on the back of the mule, "Run quickly, Florina!"

"Sven!" By the time Florina reacted, her mule had already carried her a long way away. There were people falling down with arrows everywhere, reeds passing by quickly but not knowing where the edge was, and The white reed flowers stained with blood came to my face.

"Your Highness, be careful, it's on the tree over there!" Following this shout, Sven suddenly saw several ape-like Roma soldiers hanging on a crooked tree hanging by the stream dozens of feet away. , carrying a horned bow, Holding the reed tube with arrow feathers in his mouth, he used his hands and feet to climb on it quickly, then spit out the arrow in the reed tube like lightning, put it on the bow string, screamed wildly, took aim and galloped forward. Florina.

"No, if you want to shoot, shoot me!" Sven shouted with all his strength, and then he rode his horse towards the sight of the sniper archer on the tree against the whistling arrows flying around, "Shoot him !” As expected, the Roma soldier on the neck of the tree drew his bow and turned, shooting like a gust of fire at the prince. At the moment of life and death, Florina and her mule rushed to the front.

The prince's mount was hit by six arrows in an instant and fell upside down to the ground. Sven struggled to get up. The retinue and flag bearer around him tried to save him. But they were shot down one by one and lost their lives. "Everyone took up arms and shields and went to the stream over there to resist!" The prince bravely picked up his sword, unsheathed it, and was loyal to his soldiers. They also quickly moved closer and began to recover from the chaos. Searching for shadowy and sneaky enemies and arrows that might be shot from any direction, they formed a solid shield array against the streams and rivers and defended them desperately.

"Call Reinstein to reinforce us." Sven shouted, but it was the soldier who delivered the order. As soon as he ran a few steps, he was shot to the ground by an arrow shot from the reeds: Hajib arranged many excellent archers to ambush on both sides of the only way to block the entire road section.

Over there, many Danish soldiers on the front road rushed towards the Milio Cephalon area in a chaotic manner, including Florina who kept shouting back. However, on the hillside, the Isaurian bandits had quickly cut off the road without knowing anything. This group of people had ferocious faces, and they were all wrapped in colorful hemp ribbons around their waists as a sign. A spear array was formed in the front to resist the Danish attack. Then countless people armed with sharp battle axes lurked in the reeds and approached, and then suddenly jumped out to kill them.

"Uuhaha!" Following this terrifying cry, Florina saw several ghost-like Isaurian bandits, wearing leaky helmets and colorful cloaks. Pushing aside the long grass and raising the ax to strike at herself, she mustered up the courage to shout. He also drew his sword and raised the sword in his hand. Hot dirty blood splashed in front of her. A leading bandit was covered in blood and howled miserably. His shoulder was deeply wedged with Florina's sword blade. Florina stepped on the stirrup and bit her. Zhu Ya held his hands and tried to pull the sword back from the body, but the frightened mule bared his teeth and screamed loudly. , carrying her on his back and continuing to run, Florina could only throw away the sword. The sword continued to be inserted between the neck and shoulders of the unlucky bandit. The opponent scratched back and forth a few times with his hands, then swayed and fell down. The companions hacked to death several of Florina's servants and maids, and began to plunder the corpses.

The prince's fiancée rode a mule across the hillside in the melee. She wanted to go back and see how the Sven Prince was doing, but the layers of spears from the Isaurians made her lose her mind and panicked. down, her She and her mule stepped into the swamp of reeds, and her skirt was completely covered by the mud. Then she tried hard to control the bridle rope, and after a few seconds she stepped onto dry land, and continued towards the ghost-like trees everywhere. Run to the mountain peaks and dense forests.

Behind them, several Isaurian bandits were riding horses, laughing and following closely behind the embarrassed and dirty Florina. The prince's daughter (Florina, the daughter of the Duke of Burgundy) and I am frightened and fearful. There must be the lairs of these gangsters ahead. Are Sven and I going to die miserably here before we reach the Holy Land?

"Drink!" In a daze, Florina heard the sound of shouting to the war horses. She turned her head and looked back to the front. A cavalry was galloping towards her. "Holy Lord!" The girl closed her eyes and quickly Saying her final prayers, a crossbow arrow without tail feathers flew past her cheek, and the Isaurian horse bandit behind her who had raised his ax to chop down was immediately hit by the arrow, rolled on his back and fell from his horse. die.

Then, there was the sound of weapons clashing everywhere, and two more riders rushed out from behind the crossbow cavalry, using their spears, they continued to kill the two bandits. The other bandits saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly turned their horses around. , fled back to his own army.

"Ahhh!" When the hand-crossbow cavalry pulled the reins of Florina's already exhausted and frantic mule and brought it parallel to her own horse, Florina's spirit almost collapsed and she kept raising her hands to push. The other party shouted in Frankish, "I am the vanguard of His Highness the Grand Duke Gawain. My name is Bramson. Please calm down. The Grand Duke's elite brigade is over there."

"Save my fiancé, please." Florina finally regained consciousness and begged, leaning on the saddle.

Bramson nodded, took the opportunity to pull off the golden earrings that were hanging sideways from the prince's daughter, and threw them into his robe. Then, while the girl was in a trance, he took the gold and silver utensils hanging on her saddle. , also sneaked over together, and then pulled her horse side by side towards the direction of Gawain's cavalry group.

When Florina appeared in front of Gawain who was leading the cavalry, she had already fallen on her mount and fainted. Gawain jumped off the horse and said to Deem Goliath and Muzafiadin, "Give her to Take him down, cover him with a blanket, and put him in the light car behind him to rest.”

When Muzaffy-Adin and Dim heard this, they both knelt down half-kneeling and spread their hands in tacit understanding.

"What's going on?"

"Please come and hold me personally, Grand Duke. We are humble people, and you are the only one with this woman's status to do this." The two said in unison.

Gawain rolled his eyes at them a few times, and then opened his arms. He originally wanted to carry Florina down, but he thought that the area of ​​physical contact would be too large, which was a bit bad (Anna knew it, and it would definitely be troublesome), and then He wanted to lift her up on his shoulders, but this gesture was too much like a bandit robbing a girl. It's not good to be dead - in the end, the Grand Duke raised his hands twice and had to be hugged by the princess. Bramson over there was busy tying up the sash and watched Florina being carried away with no expression on his face. "Grand Duke, without further ado, the Roma are all in front to ambush the Danish pilgrims." (Not yet.) To be continued ~^~)
