Eagle Byzantium

Zangi sighed and turned back to him and said, "You have lost your faith, Macianias. You are completely a converted Greek. There is no longer a place for the Lord in your heart, only the beautiful one." Helena.”

"You have misunderstood me. Can't the knights of Ogus shout out on the battlefield? Can't they shout out the name of the noble woman they care about in their hearts?" Macianias covered his chest, although he was a little shy but still Courageously refuting Zangi’s accusations.

"That is indeed not surprising, but the Oghuz Knight raised the flag of Allah in his heart at the same time, but you did not."

"Then you leave the emperor and your father like this?"

"You don't care about the situation in Seljuk at all. Maybe Markianias, you don't know yet - there are countless locust-like alien soldiers from various strange ethnic groups, including warriors who are believers of ancient Christianity, who have arrived in Seljuk. The border area of ​​​​the Mu River, their camps and cavalry cover the entire world, the entire The Seljuq Oghuz army was gathering in the hope of blocking their movement. The Sultan even asked the emperor for assistance, but the emperor's reply was that he would send four or five more brigades after Durazo was captured. To assist Isfahan, that’s because the emperor needs the entire plateau to serve as a barrier for his empire.”

Markianias frowned, it was indeed the first time he heard such shocking news.

If this is really the case, then as an Oghuz, we do have the obligation to help the Seljuqs, even if the ancestral family of Markianias is just a twig and has a blood feud with the patriarch.

At this time, Zanji stretched out his hand and whispered, "How about it? Brother, go with me, where we can also have a gorgeous adventure, fight against the pagan enemies, and become the true king. This world will always be like this, The door to power and glory is always open to the brave with firm faith.”

Hearing this, Macianias was shocked. He knew that if he asked Emperor Gawain to resign, his majesty would agree to him and continue to treat his mother and sister favorably. In my eyes, I will become a "foreigner" on the Persian plateau, no longer a Roman...

With mixed emotions, he raised his dark and deep eyes, and slowly extended his hand to Zanji, but his fingers were hesitant and weak, and he could not hold Zanji together.

"Zangi, my brother..." Macianias wanted to say something, but didn't know how.

"Okay." Zanji retracted his hand and said to him, "You stay with the one you love, even if she may never face your feelings in her whole life, it is still a happy thing - Gao Yuan is Leave it to me to explore and see what kind of heroes there are on the other side of the Amu Darya River."

After saying that, Zanji got on his horse, raised his whip and pointed at the other side of the grass, "Go and report the order, don't delay your mission."

After Markianias successfully met with General Melo, he narrated his experience. The other party was very angry and immediately asked Markianias to return to the emperor's royal camp, and brought along a letter of impeachment against General Gregor. "He randomly used a messenger who shouldn't be used. The messengers around His Majesty are ten or even a hundred times more valuable than those in the brigade!"

After seeing the letter, Gawain also felt ashamed. He had sent the child out earlier to be warm with Anna and Agnes, and he couldn't wait to enjoy the joy that he had not been able to get for the rest of the year. Who would have thought that Macianius would suffer like this? dangerous situation.

So Gawain sent an ultimatum to reprimand Gregor and fined him two months' salary. Then he called General Branas and said, "Take your son with you and protect him. I don't want to." What a shame to lose this fine young man."

At the same time, father and son Zanji and Hajib also fell in front of Basileus and Baselisa, and Zanji indeed stated his wish.

"I know that there are many complicated and terrible things happening on the other side of the Oxus River. It seems that the whole world is migrating to the west. Is there a more terrifying devil driving them behind?" Gawain looked solemn.

Anna held his hand, and Gawain felt vaguely aware of it. Could it be that the Song Dynasty Empire, where Zhao Zhao originally belonged, had conquered the Khitan and Mongolia that he could understand, and its power had extended to the Khorasan and the river areas, and then the original The various ethnic groups on the grasslands of China were oppressed and began to carry out huge and astonishing migrations to the west? Is this the case? Gawain was unable to get a clear answer due to limited conditions.

"Regarding this matter, Mr. Zhao Zhao has already rushed here after receiving the order. I want to appoint him to go to the East to gather intelligence, and explore the mysterious Aksum and King John's empire. I believe that in half a year and a year, we will be We can get accurate intelligence information." At this time, Anna added. After a pause, she said to Zanji, "You can go to Isfahan after the fall of Durazo City, and you can get more first-hand information on the front line. message."

"As you command Mistress."

"Remember, the rank and title here are reserved for you. Hajib will continue to stay here and serve as the commander of the Ogus Cavalry and Archery Regiment." Anna said warmly.

"Yes, you will always be our mistress." The father and son said in unison.

A day later, the Red Hand Brigade defeated the Hungarians and occupied the St. Michael's Monastery. Then the artillery regiment task force followed up and began to build artillery forts on the hill in front of the monastery, preparing to flank the northern wall of Durazzo; at the same time, twenty jaguars rushed into the river, with cannons installed on the side of the ship close to the enemy, and the other side was fixed with pins, forming a battle line to bombard the enemy camp on the opposite bank. The Venetians in the garrison used nitre spears to fight back and burn the jaguars.

On the fourth high platform, in the camp of the Guardian Brigade, Markianius looked down at the river in front of the castle, where the nitre spears shot by the Venetians, dragging long tails like comets and sharp and shocking whistles, illuminated the entire water surface, and shot into the jaguars sailing into the river one by one.

"It seems that the enemy's resistance is still fierce, father." Markianius looked at his own ships that were burned into a group of torches and the smoke and rain of gunpowder on both sides, and couldn't help saying.

"Because the enemy also knows that if Durazzo can't hold on, His Majesty's troops will be able to attack Italia unimpeded." Branas replied to his stepson.

"But the situation in the east is so tense, will His Majesty still cross the sea to attack Italia?"

"It all depends on how the Lord plays the scales of victory." Branas sighed, "Your Majesty has surrounded the north side of the castle, and the moment of the decisive battle should come soon."

Branas was right. When the battle between the Gimegis Brigade and the Jaeger Longship on the river front was unfavorable, Gawain decided to open up the situation on the northern front. He asked to build a gun fort on the south and west of St. Michael's Monastery at the same time, of which the western one was used to bombard enemy ships on the sea of ​​Durazzo...
