Eagle Byzantium

For Anna, the shadow given to her by Gawain at the meeting when the Sixth Division was established still exists.

After a while, Sigma turned pale and looked like he had lost a lot of blood. He was lying on a stretcher with his shoulders bandaged, and was carried into the banquet by two soldiers. At this time, Commander Walter stood up on his own initiative, bowed to everyone, and said with The not very fluent Greek said, "As the commander-in-chief, I have the duty to assist the Grand Duke and the military judges in their inspections."

The two brothers behind Walter also lowered their heads uneasily, while Anna behind the curtain stared at the two brothers again. The whole atmosphere became strangely tense, but soon Sigma raised his head and faced the big brother shamelessly. The Duke said, "I was the first to plant the battle flag on the city in accordance with the request of the leader of the formation. The gold coin you promised me, Your Highness, the Grand Duke, is half, and I cannot miss even half of it!" "

"Don't worry about this - Wright, you will be responsible for recording documents by my side." The Grand Duke replied in front of everyone, and then Wright hurriedly sat next to him, holding a pen and paper, "Sigma, before you get the gift, you You have to explain clearly what happened to the arrow in your back.”

"Damn it, I don't know what's going on. I was about to go to the main tower of the castle to cut off the enemy general's head to get more rewards, but suddenly I was hit by an arrow." Sigma cursed angrily. .

"In other words, this arrow was not shot when you turned your back to the enemy?" the Grand Duke continued to ask.

Sigma shook his head one after another, saying that there was no such possibility at all, "I have already jumped on the top of the city to plant the battle flag, how could I run away from the enemy? Those enemies are as vulnerable as insects."

This made sense, Gawain couldn't help but nodded, and then he made a gesture to Walter Sanzaval who was standing. The old knight understood and immediately called out the first few servants who noticed that Sigma was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground. , and immediately those people bowed down at the steps where the Grand Duke and Princess lived, "When you found Sigma, in what posture was he lying there with an arrow?" asked Giovanni on the side.

"Facing the entrance of the enemy's tower." The confessions of several military servants were exactly the same. "At that time, we also felt strange that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke's army could be hit by an arrow in the back at this angle."

Because the regulations of Gawain's military code are extremely strict, especially the soldiers' arrow shooting, they must be carried out under the instructions of the flag officer. Anyone who disobeys the order and shoots arrows must be executed immediately. At that time, all the teams received the order to use swords and shields to attack the city. , all the archers stopped shooting to avoid accidental injuries.

At the same time, the arrow that hit Sigma's back was pulled out by the doctor and handed to Gawain. "The regulations of this arrow and the inscription of the Ordnance Department are naturally used by our Seleucid army." Giovanni said in a tone. Pretty sure.

Gawain held the direction a few inches behind the arrow cluster, with a quiet light reflecting in his eyes, "Giovanni, what you said is not enough. This arrow is not only from Seleucia, it is also unique to the armored cavalry... ....The arrows are shorter and fired forward, and are used by armored cavalry to restrain armored enemies. "

"Grand Duke, what do you mean..." Giovanni understood and said hurriedly.

At this moment, the faces of the two Dukas brothers sitting behind Walter were pale, and Anna's mood was even worse. She thought in her mind, "This is obvious. Someone in the armored cavalry wants to kill Sigma, either for a vendetta or for a fight." But no matter what it is, the barbarian might use this as a reason to disband my cavalry regiment - I should not have neglected to supervise these people in the first place."

But Gawain threw the arrow back onto the plate held by the fat eunuch, making a clanging sound, "I mean, Sigma didn't run away from the battle, but this was also a friendly fire."

Before Giovanni could say anything, Gawain continued to report the basis for the decision, "Although I issued a ban on bows and arrows in front of the battle, the armored cavalry were not included. Some of them were originally from Gina. The nobles were accustomed to carrying quivers to fight on horseback, which was different from the Blois, Normans, and Franks. When fighting the enemy at short distances, it was inconvenient to be restricted by which weapon to use; what's more, , it is said that when the defenders were defending the central tower, they also used bows and arrows and mounted cavalry to engage in small-scale firefights. It was inevitable that Sigma, who was at the forefront, was accidentally injured, and he was also injured because of his bravery. "Finally, Gawain concluded the incident, "So there is no need to delve into who fired the arrow, but we must compensate Sigma for his injury and give the warrior two hundred gold coins."

As soon as the Grand Duke came to this conclusion, Sigma certainly had no objection. He kept making a grateful voice, immediately put a heavy bag of money on the stretcher, and was carried away from the scene.

And Anna and Walter also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The heroes who killed the Kallegos family will be named one by one." Then, Gawain restarted the next round of judgments, rewards and punishments.

Giovanni and Wright made very accurate calculations: in the swamp, there were six civilian soldiers who shot Severn, and each of them was rewarded with seventy gold coins; For the Plani Cannon, all gunners and craftsmen also received four hundred gold coins equally; Little Sunfish was rewarded with an additional one hundred gold coins for its hard work in making sharp weapons.

But as the rounds of affairs were cleared, Anna's face became solemn again, because at this time Gawain's eyes were fixed on the two Dukas brothers, "You were the first to rush to the room where Nika was, and what happened There was a fierce fight, So who beheaded the rebellious father and son of Nika and Ace? Or was it because you two were competing for credit or because you cared about your father and brother and didn't want them to die at other hands, so you rashly disrupted them? He ordered the whole army to charge decisively? "

At this time, just after Gawain finished speaking, the princess in purple suddenly stood up from behind the curtain and scolded the Dukas brothers, "Before the expedition, I assigned you two the duty of supervising the officers, but I didn't expect that your only advantage is running away." He was faster than Sigma and harmed the entire armored cavalry regiment, so he must be punished severely. "

The Ducasse brothers did not dare to refute, so they could only kneel on the ground, facing the princess and the Grand Duke, expressing their willingness to accept any punishment alone.

"You have disappointed your adoptive mother so much." Gawain said, but then Walter suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness the Grand Duke, in fact, it was not them but me who beheaded the Kallegos father and son. And before, His Royal Highness the Princess The reason why these two supervisory officers attacked in advance was also my order, because at that time Sigma was suffering The enemy is besieging me. As the commander of the armored cavalry regiment, of course I have some selfish motives. If Lord Sigma makes a mistake and the enemy takes away the flag, it will not only be a disaster for the armored cavalry regiment, but also a disaster for the armored cavalry regiment. The reputation of the princess was damaged, so I temporarily sent the Dukas brothers to come forward to help Sigma."

"Oh?" After a long time, Gawain suddenly said this. (To be continued ~^~)
