————————————————————————

In this situation, not to mention the Turkic Attaberg, even Gao Wen, who was holding a halberd and supervising the battle under the military flag, seemed to be in another world. He seemed to be a director, using a group of Chinese extras to perform "war" "It's like a play". In the past, he thought that the extras really showed their strength in leading the lunch, but he didn't expect that it was even more like this in ancient times when swords and swords were shining.

Our own army of servants all held up their shields and were close to each other. The same was true for the other side. You came and went, shuttled between positions, and the sound of killing was everywhere. It seemed lively and lifelike for a moment, but these people were all cunning and sophisticated. Being from a peasant background, if you look carefully, you will notice that both sides are just showing off, poking each other's shields with spears, or just hitting them with swords. Anyway, just give the commander a ring and it's over.

In the end, Gawain, who really couldn't stand it anymore, put down his halberd and stood there blankly, while the Turkic Atabog was also behind his line, riding a horse and grunting, looking at Gao helplessly. arts. After the two looked at each other for a while, they looked at the grand group dance on the center position with a blank expression.

Standing until sunset, after their respective infantry withdrew, Gawain finished counting and was shocked. Except for seven servants who were slightly injured, no one was killed.

In this era, do bloody fights only exist in battles for country subjugation or between elite warriors? Gawain, who was sitting in the fortification of the camp, was thinking to himself. At this time, Francesco came over and handed him a bottle of wine, "I'm sorry, I respect the creed of prohibition of alcohol." In fact, Gawain had just traveled through time, In the ice and snow, he tried to collect the wine from the corpse of the slave soldier in order to keep warm. He was indeed a strict teetotaler and only smoked good cigars.

Seeing what Gawain said, Francesco stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he put the wine bottle in his mouth and drank it tastefully, "Where are you from?"

"I was baptized by a Norman and Danish priest, and after being captured in Asia Minor, I joined the emperor's team." Gawain was already completely familiar with this routine.

Francesco nodded, then looked at the fiery sunset, "I am from Pasaleno, very close to the city of Amalfi. My family is a farmer, and I was born to be with wheat fields, fruit trees and soil, but I I left my hometown and went to Amalfi City, because I am more interested there Strange things that I have never seen before - the Saracen tower to guard against pirates, the salty sea water, the woman with black hair, the wine that is almost as bitter as the sea water, raise the sail to fight in every corner of the ocean, get rewards, and then Spend them all in one night."

"Then why don't you go into business?" Gawain seemed to have a hidden occupational disease again. He gestured with his hands, "You can save one-third of your salary and wages each time, no, even one-fifth." 1. Then you can entrust someone, yes, entrust a shrewd Jewish businessman, to give birth to the child. Interest. Yes, yes, that's what I'm saying. I know the creed says that money is strictly forbidden to be reused, but after accumulation, you can buy properties, such as mills, workshops or orchards, and wait for the business to be effective. Later, we will attract more wealthy partners to invest in remote trade.”

"Then what?" Francis nodded, took a sip of wine, and continued to look at Gawain.

"Then it will be easier. After you accumulate more assets, you can buy more boats, cover taxes and land, and have many beautiful houses. At that time, you can do whatever you want. Feel free to do what you like in the sun.”

"But am I not doing my favorite thing now?" Francis laughed, swung the wine bottle in his hand in the sun, and looked at the speechless Gawain, "Don't stay in the Roman Emperor's house anymore. It’s a capital city, but it’s still Italy. For comfort!" After speaking, Francesco raised his head and leaned on the flagpole, "If it weren't for the salary, I would not serve in the emperor's army. They Greeks like to regard courage as recklessness. , seeing vitality as evil, he They have only false faces and weak hands, indulged in self-righteous conspiracy and foolish obedience. So Gawain, after the expedition of Lord Stabler George is over, you should return to Amalfi with me, the nearest chamber of commerce in the city. and Benedict The association is preparing to hire me to take up the guard duty of a charity hospital in a distant holy land. The pay is not low, and at least I can do something interesting, instead of like here, where I kill defeated soldiers today, and they may be defeated tomorrow. The soldiers were killed by others.”

Gawain was surprised to see Francesco slandering the Roman Empire so much, but he still kept Artiehe's reminder in mind and did not have any positive reaction to Francesco's warm invitation.

Finally, the next day, the most incredible thing happened - all the Turks who came to attack in front of them evacuated.

Soon, a cavalry messenger came from the other side of the stone bridge and said to everyone, "The city of Prusa has fallen, and the stable master once again won a great victory against the pagans!"

Amidst the cheers of the soldiers and servants, Gawain put his hands on his hips and frowned at yesterday's battlefield in front of him. It seemed that the Turks were not really guarding Abydos and Prusa. They even felt that they would soon Nor will they defend Nicaea with all their strength. It seems that Zahas' power is like an ebbing tide, and will soon retreat far away from the plains and lakes.

After returning to the camp, while preparing the baggage vehicles, Pheteas followed Gawain with his hands hanging, and kept saying, "It is the border guard, Your Excellency Diognis, who is climbing up with fifty elites. He reached a corner of the Prusa city wall that was in disrepair and immediately brought down the city. Here he is the eyes of tens of millions of us. "

Gawain tightened the luggage and weapons on the baggage car disapprovingly, and said to Pheteas without looking back, "That's because Zahas has no intention of guarding this fortress."

Later, he did not hear the always noisy Pheteas protesting against him, so he turned back and found that the military servant stepped aside in surprise and embarrassment - not far away, Diogenes was carrying A wineskin stood opposite him, staring at him, obviously hearing Gawain's comments about the war just now.

"Are you despising my merits?" Diognis's eyes were red and he was full of anger and alcohol.

Gawain looked at it, and then did not answer his question directly, "I am just stating a fact, which has nothing to do with merit. Similarly, I also think that my fight is in vain in the whole situation."

"Every day I long for the emperor's flag and the army's horses' hooves to return to the Anatolian plateau, and I can also return to my hometown. I have grown up looking at the fortresses and clouds on the top of the mountain there since I was a child. , and now you say that everything I have done is meaningless!" Diognis was irritated, completely angry.
