Eagle Byzantium

As expected, the first thing Titicius did after entering was to kneel down like a slave and declare, "Your Highness, please implement my humble strategy, which is to put me in charge of everything in Philadophiam City as soon as possible. Mobile troops rush to support Fort Alamein, which is now in danger."

The prince was full of displeasure, "Tatisius, you have been alarmist more than once. Now, following my father's instructions, I am discussing the murder of Hugh with Gawain, and finally made some progress. From Pamphylia to Brusa, I am there. With my father’s 20,000 troops and horses as the backing of negotiations, why do you always mess with the delicate steps?”

But General Xiubi kept shaking his head and begging, "The situation is extremely urgent now. Even His Majesty has mentioned it many times in the document. I hope that Your Majesty will put the main force in Alamein Fort; Gawain is What kind of person, as humble as I am, I know very well. He must be ready for war. Perhaps his brigade is ready to go out in Seleucia, sharpening its sword against Alamein. "

"Shut up!" Prince John really couldn't believe it. If he went by what the guy at his feet said, could it be that his previous maneuvers at the negotiation table were all fine and fell into Gawain's trap? No, it's impossible. He saw Gawain's embarrassed and embarrassed reaction, and it couldn't be faked. What's more, Gawain's army once besieged Fort Alamein before, but failed under the defense of the old general Nika. Why did Gawain rely on a brigade this time (John's intelligence clearly showed that Gawain The remaining two veteran brigades were on standby for rest in the Syria Gate area) and more than a thousand cavalry, so they could capture Al Alman Fort before he and his father's troops could quickly gather their forces to counterattack. That was nothing short of a fantasy.

However, Taticius was unyielding and still begged, "At the very least, let me, a humble man, command three thousand, no, even two thousand soldiers, including five hundred light cavalry, to support Ala." Fort Man. There are only 800 soldiers of the Kallegos family stationed there. I still don’t know what methods Gawain will use to attack the fortress, but what is certain is that Gawain is sure of victory.”

Every word, every word, made the prince embarrassed and angry. He immediately stood up and said, "Since Gawain has the chance to win, why are you going there?"

At this moment, Aksepokos, a Turkic slave, suddenly knelt down in front of him and said, "Your Highness, the Turks have a proverb that a tiger will never hurt someone with its antlers. Is Gawain a tiger or a deer? I believe that Your Highness He has enough judgment. Perhaps as the general said, the negotiation is just the smoke of deception he casts, not to mention if it is high. Wenzhen's attack on Alamein Castle will put him at a disadvantage in diplomacy, and if he is defeated by your highness, then even if Gawain does not personally hand over Seleucia as agreed, his vitality will be severely damaged. We can also Using force to get rid of this trouble will be of great benefit to His Highness in the future!"

At this time, the prince was speechless for the time being. He hesitated quietly for a while, and then said with difficulty to Titicius, "In this case, I promise to give you four thousand soldiers, and now we will travel by starry night to return to Phila." Dophiam City mobilized and rushed to Alamein Castle, but it was impossible. Let's take the lead to avoid being caught by Gawain at the negotiating table. And Aksepokos, you should also act with this general and gain some military experience. If you are only a handyman and a soldier. If you want to serve, then I have plenty of people here and won’t need you.”

Titicius and Axepochus immediately burst into tears of gratitude, bowed before accepting the order and left.

Then, John sighed and said to Maupulos, who had been silent but respected him, "Tomorrow, Gawain doesn't know what kind of tricks he will use."

"As long as His Highness continues to seize the missing Norman gangster and silence him, neither Gawain nor the Franks will be able to do anything about it. Wait until His Majesty's army arrives to intimidate these barbarians who do not know how high the sky is. We will retreat when faced with difficulties, not every blackmail will work." Maupoulos is very confident and optimistic.

At noon the next day, John readjusted his thoughts and led the guards to the scarlet tent between the two camps. He only saw a row of horses from the Seleucid side tied in front of the manger on the other side. Several warriors stood there, "Did His Excellency the Grand Duke arrive early?" John asked loudly.

The curtain of the scarlet curtain was lifted, and the first person to come out was Vallott, the extremely angry General Counselor of the French Palace. He complained loudly in other languages. The attendant next to him translated it to the prince, but John almost fell off his horse. "Early this morning, Mr. Vallo could not find the whereabouts of the so-called Grand Duke. At first, the camp officer of the other camp said The Grand Duke was ill last night, but when he went to visit, he found that there was nothing there, so the Grand Duke's heraldry officer in the camp told him that after the Grand Duke's condition improved, he took some guardsmen to negotiate in advance. He was waiting for me here at Feizhang, so the general counselor came to Feizhang again, but he didn’t see Gao Wen’s people at all.”

"This is despicable fraud!" John held the riding crop and complained angrily. Then he forced all the warriors holding the horses to get on the horses and ran forward with him. He arrived at the camp where Gawain was stationed, but He found that Andodat was the only one waiting for him on the wall.

When the prince asked loudly what happened, Andodat showed no expression on his face, holding his iconic monk's mushroom head, and held up a written petition, "The Emperor of Constantinople, please rest in peace." Bohemond had lost the respect and allegiance of the pilgrims due to his various rebellious behaviors during the Battle of Tick. As the commander-in-chief of the army, the lordship has issued a decision - no more towns will be handed over to Constantinople in the legal territory around the city of Antioch, and no inch of land occupied in Syria or even the Holy City will be handed over to Constantinople. Let Emperor Komnenos get involved again and ask Emperor Komnenos to be responsible for Xio’s tragic death and pay compensation.”

"This is impossible, damn it." John, standing in front of the earthen wall and ditch, almost raised his fingers angrily.

But Andodat ignored him at all and continued to read slowly, "His Royal Highness Stephen Gawain, the Grand Duke, has decided to stand on the side of our righteous lord and realizes that the emperor is currently the enemy of Pilgrimage, so he I reluctantly launched a military remonstrance, hoping that the emperor could rein in the situation. "

"What awaits you will be punishment from the empire, for those who overestimate their own capabilities." John's eyes turned red, he raised his whip and lost his composure.

But Andodat still read the entire pleading loudly, "Last night the Grand Duke rushed to Seleucia, took over the troops that arrived, and prepared to attack the Emperor's Alamein Castle. One came to prepare for it to become The emperor continued to murder the pilgrims' strongholds, secondly to ensure the smooth flow of sea routes for pilgrim supplies, and thirdly to punish the Kallegos family who had rebelled against the Grand Duke. From now on, the peace agreement was cancelled, and the war was ruthless. !"(not yet To be continued ~^~)
