Eagle Byzantium

At this time, a member of the bodyguard suddenly opened the curtain and walked in. With a terrifying tone, he said, "The emperor's official has arrived!"

"Don't panic, what role is the imperial official? What is his purpose?" George quickly calmed down the scene.

"Now it is known that Nicodemea, the great eunuch of the palace, came ashore from Nicomedia in a ship with only ten retinues and cavalry. He also entrusted a detachment at the frontier to deliver the emperor's memorandum in advance. Here you go." After the soldier finished speaking, he handed the slip into the hands of the stable chief.

"What do you think?" the stable master asked Cabeamiya and his deputy Cranmer.

Then the two of them agreed that just as the emperor's document said, the eunuch came to express condolences to the labor army. He brought many gold and silver rewards to the soldiers. All the procedures were very normal. We don't need to panic too much and get into trouble. Because the emperor had just defeated the Pechenegs in the north, he hoped that the governor would gain a foothold in Asia Minor while the emperor continued to advance with his army into Epirus to deal with the Normans.

"And we took this opportunity to establish ourselves in Nicaea and Trebizond. At the same time, a large number of followers of the Tefrian Party went south in Thrace and surrounded Constantinople. We forced Alexios to abdicate. When the time comes, Mr. Stable Master, you are the Emperor of the Empire," Cranmer said excitedly.

"Well, Asia Minor is the foundation of the empire. The Comnenus and Ducasse families came from there, but no one understands my painstaking efforts. Since I don't understand, I will do it on my own. The throne of the imperial family and The Purple Lion Palace has always been home to capable people. I have gained military morale and the hearts of the entire Asia Minor believers and people. I have met the qualifications to board the shield, not to mention that I still have the legal authority in the imperial capital. "Finally, George added the last sentence,

"There is no successful rebellion in this world, because if the rebellion is successful, who would dare to call it a 'rebellion'?"

The next day, Diogenes, the delighted captor, rode out of the military camp and walked for about twenty miles. When he saw the chariots with colorful curtains and flags, he hurriedly dismounted and marched toward the palace. Eunuch Nicodemya reported, "His Excellency the Chief of the Stables has set up a battle array in the military camp to welcome the arrival of His Excellency the Great Eunuch."

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty the Guard. To be honest, I have been walking in this wilderness for many days. The Indian rosewood boxes in the vehicle are full of treasures to express condolences to the stable chief and the soldiers. I really feel a little anxious. If you, the guard, could come to the guard earlier, I would be relieved of a lot of worries." The "little bird" sitting on the shoulder carriage looked kindly, and then pointed the box to the guard Dio. Gurness watches.

Diognis smiled innocently, then straddled the horse, turned the horse's head, automatically escorted beside the eunuch's motorcade, and slowly walked towards the camp by the Lake of Nicaea against the setting sun.

The horns sounded one by one, "Gawain, put on your helmet and mail armor. The Red Hand Guards will serve as a guard of honor in front of the camp gate to welcome the arrival of the eunuch." Hearing this call, Gawain immediately got busy. He got up, followed his sixth column, lined up with the other ranks of guard warriors, and stood by the ditch in front of the camp gate.

When the great eunuch arrived in front of the camp gate on his chariot, amid the sound of the welcoming trumpet, the old man glanced at the ranks of the red-handed guards, and stretched out his withered fingers over the heads of many people. , the direction fell directly on Gawain, who was standing in the sixth column, wearing a nose helmet and a red cloak under the military flag, "Stephen Gawain, come here."

Seeing everyone's eyes secretly pointing at him, Gawain met the cold light emanating from the great eunuch's swollen eyes and felt that the hair on his shoulders was exploding. This old guy was so terrifying. Not only could he be remembered in countless opportunities, , and he remembered his name so clearly, and could recognize himself at a glance among these 280 people.

"Yes." Gawain lifted up the nose guard on his helmet without hesitation, then walked out of the queue slowly, stood in front of the eunuch, and expressed his welcome to the royal wardrobe manager.

"Follow me, you and I are old friends, and I have temporarily assigned you as a guard." The eunuch hunched his shoulders and laughed like a bird. Then Gawain walked, with Diognis on the left and right, sandwiching him. His carriage walked into the military camp lined with thousands of soldiers and flags.

At the same time, at the gate of the camp, a man dressed as a guard jumped out of the mule cart that was being pushed in amidst the cheers of the soldiers, and stood in front of Farov without knowing what was going on.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Brother!" Farov was surprised and blurted out.

As a result, Isaac Komnenos stepped forward and knocked on Farov's armor. The opponent immediately understood and stopped talking.

Soon, the soldiers in all the military camps opened the rosewood box sent by the great eunuch. It was full of shining treasures and gold coins. Suddenly, cheers resounded throughout the camp. In the camp of the commander-in-chief, the great eunuch was in a good mood. After citing the emperor's edict, George Paralogus immediately knelt down with his staff, "His Majesty is determined to bestow upon you the newly created title of 'Sebastocrat'."

George frowned and looked up with a confused expression, because he really didn't understand the meaning of this title.

Then the eunuch gave an explanation and clearly told the stable chief, "This title and official rank are higher than Caesar and Augustus, as evidenced by His Majesty's edict."

Just as the stablemaster was grateful and ready to thank him, the eunuch added, "So, does the emperor hope that the honorable Lord Sebastokrate can lead the army to assist the imperial capital and Gallipoli in time to wipe out the Zahas bandits?"

"Please allow me to report that the army's goal now is to continue to recover Trebizond and Anatolia, so please be patient, Your Majesty, Zahas is just a minor problem."

Gawain's fingers moved suddenly, and he felt that the rosary hanging on the phosphorus sword made a low chirping sound, which only he could feel. He felt that a certain uneasy atmosphere was spreading throughout the tent. Then he looked around the tent, and most people, including the guards, were still unaware.

Nicodemia's face froze, his hand slowly raised, then suddenly touched his chest, and his expression turned into a smile, "Is that so? I will report to His Majesty." Then he quietly handed George a small note.

The stablemaster quickly looked at it and saw the word "hometown" written on it. Then he understood, smiled and stood up, and gave a clear answer to the eunuch, "Several of the most fertile manors in Paphlagonia that have just been recovered have long been donated to you and your nephew."

"When people get old, they always want to return to their hometowns." The eunuch laughed again, and then he went with the flow, "Finally, the emperor needs you to swear loyalty to His Majesty in a monastery to guarantee your duties and responsibilities for the title you have been given. You also know that there must be this ceremony, which is stipulated in the ancient etiquette book."

"There is no monastery in the military camp, but there is one outside the city. I will ask the guards to protect you and I will go together." George is not stupid.
