Eagle Byzantium

"You are here. I have ordered the relevant soldiers to keep it strictly confidential, so no one knows except me." Gawain held the other party's hand tighter.

After the two sat down, Gawain asked the attendants to serve delicious meals and wine, and then they became very familiar with each other. "Actually, there was only a small misunderstanding between us. Anna liked me back then, but the emperor mistakenly mistook Anna for her." I assigned Dido to me by mistake, which is why we elope. Now Dido is your wife and Anna is my wife (although we are not officially married yet). We are still relatives. "

"Yes, yes." Brenus was obedient. It seemed that Gawain's core meaning was "No matter what, I am committed to your brother-in-law."

So the brown-haired "barbarian brother-in-law" started talking non-stop. In short, he wanted to express to Breanus that he had absolutely no intention of confronting the emperor. The bloody battles in the previous camping camp, which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, were by no means what he wanted to see. of. "Is there any misunderstanding in this?" Gawain frowned and pretended.

Brenus was eating his meal and was careful not to comment on anything Gawain said. He just lowered his head and did not respond. After a long time, he agreed with Gawain, saying, "You should not be an enemy of His Majesty the Emperor." ".

"Yes, I never thought that even the empire's war preparations would be so sloppy and they would come to fight me rashly, which is completely disrespectful to the lives of soldiers." Who would have thought that Gawain took this sentence without shame and sarcastically After hearing the weakness of Alexios and Breenus' weapons and their foolish adventures, the inadvertent madness in their words emerged again.

Finally Brenus couldn't help it, "Your Majesty has mobilized 45,000 soldiers this time, and Gawain only has about 13,000 troops on the front line. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, you will not be an opponent."

At this moment, Gawain put down the cup filled with milk and sneered, "It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor's forty-five thousand men must be divided into three groups, one to besiege Konya, and one to stay with me here. Fighting, there is another road that should belong to General Xosa, heading towards Seleucia City, right? "

Brenus' expression changed when he heard the third word, but he didn't answer anything.

But Gawain continued to go straight to the point, "Before I came to camp in Miliocephalon, I had completely defeated General Xosa." After saying that, Gawain drank the milk in one gulp, and he was completely in control. Arrogant, "Now the emperor can only compete with me all the way. I am not left behind. On the contrary, now I have Little Antioch in the palm of my hand, using it as a bridgehead. I think I can break the siege of Konya, and I can concentrate on fighting the emperor Miliocephalon, because the leadership is with me. In the hilt of the sword, not in the emperor's..."

Breanus wanted to say something else, but Gawain raised his hand to stop him, "If we fight all the way, my six or seven thousand red-handed soldiers can completely defeat fifteen thousand enemies. If the emperor's army is increased, it may be even higher. Can defeat 20,000 emperors . You have no chance of winning. It is better to evacuate decently and save Afyon and Filna (Afyon is the central castle of the Roma Plateau, which means "Fortress of Victory" in Greek. It is an important transportation hub and the gateway to A must-stop in Konya).”

"How arrogant Gawain!" Even Breanus couldn't bear it now.

But Gawain did not care about his embarrassment at all, and continued to criticize the emperor's armaments, "The emperor completely ignored the importance of heavy cavalry. He had been defeated by the Normans at Durazzo before, and he still continues to do so." Without improvement, he relied too heavily on his Varangian guards and archers...The emperor's soldiers lacked the courage to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Qi, when they form an archery team, they can very effectively deter the enemy with volley strikes. If they encounter weak and irregular enemies, it can often be effective. However, once they encounter a team with complete armor and high fighting spirit, they will switch to a head-on hand-to-hand combat. The combat effectiveness of the emperor's soldiers will be greatly reduced... The people's fat and anointment absorbed by the Pulonian real estate will produce The gentry cavalry that were born excessively consumed military resources. This was also the biggest drawback of your and Dido's governance of Pamphylia. They allowed the rich to connect with each other and put all the chips of military service on these "non-nationals". In the end, The result is that I can raise five cavalry, but you can only raise three. This group of Plonian cavalry is followed by a large number of degraded ones. armed serfs, rather than qualified soldiers who are good at battle... It is true to use mercenaries, but the mercenaries recruited by the emperor lack long-term and effectiveness. They will become habitual bandits after the battle. During the battle, In fact, it is difficult to play a key decisive role, because this group of people are always only interested in one-time rewards and lives..."

So Brenus, who was unwilling to accept it, started to argue fiercely with Gawain. The two of them swept away their previous restraint. After all, their current status was equal - under the candlelight, they were separated from each other by the case. They were facing each other at the table, eating dinner and making things difficult for each other with different gestures.

Finally, both of them felt tired, and Gawain smiled and waved his hands, "No need to talk about these useless topics anymore, let the future decide who is right and wrong between us. Now I want you to give a gift to your noble wife, and also I hope you can convey a message to His Majesty the Emperor - Anna is pregnant, and I plan to marry her in Tarsus on the right day."

When Gawain took out an enamel box and brought it to Brenus, Brenus reacted, "Are you going to send me back?"

"Why not? In theory, Anna will always be His Majesty's daughter, right? Isn't her child His Majesty's grandson? His Majesty will fall in love with this grandson. Besides, you are my brother-in-law. Even if the war breaks out, this personal relationship There’s no need to deny whether it’s right or not…” Next, Gao Wen started to collect (hao) and buy (w) which he is good at. u) Human (yuan) heart (ze), "In addition, please tell Dido privately that if there is any trouble between you and your wife at the court, Seleucia will always provide help to you... Rest! "After saying that, Gawain winked and stretched. Then the servants and attendants came in, shaved and washed him, and then came to serve Breenus again.

Finally, Gawain lay unsuspectingly on the camp couch in the camp. After patting him, he said to Brennus, "In order to keep it secret, you will sleep with me tonight if you are sorry. Tomorrow I will send cavalry to take you down." Send it back intact.”

Before Breenus could express his humility and objection, Gawain lay on his back on the couch, his new signature beard style rising slightly, and soon he was snoring loudly.

So the Third Glory of the Empire, with mixed feelings, got on the couch, turned his back, and carefully slept next to Gawain... No matter how bloody today's battle was, or what he had suffered before. It was thrilling, but Breanus still had to admit that he really couldn't dislike men like Gawain. (To be continued ~^~)
