Eagle Byzantium

While the soldiers were marching battalion by battalion towards the fortress of Armida on the border of the empire, the emperor was staying in the imperial camp, making arrangements for the situation in the Levant after the army was deployed.

Although Dukak of Damascus knelt down and begged for mercy, Gawain was not prepared to forgive him any more: in addition, Dukak's existence also made several forces in Jerusalem, Aleppo and Mosul feel uncomfortable, so Gawain He called Ridwan in front of him like a servant: "How about I lend you my troops to kill Dukak?"

Ridwan broke out in cold sweat instantly. He didn't know whether to say yes or not, but the situation clearly showed that he had to say "yes".

"That is indeed very good. I will divide his Emir Kingdom equally. The southern part will belong to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the northern part will belong to you." The emperor sat on the chair and made such a request again, and said to Ridwan meaningfully, "Expanding your country will make me feel at ease. With a little tribute and military service, you can enjoy the protection of my empire. Dear Sir Ridwan Emir, will you also feel at ease from me?"

"Of course!" Ridwan and his vizier shouted with their huge heads lowered in fear, their eyes only level with Gawain's crimson boots.

Then the emperor called two people from the ranks of his generals and ministers. One of them was wearing the silk robe of a high-ranking noble and a fine chainmail. "This is my postmaster Andodat, come on right away." He will assist you in the strategy of Damascus. If you have anything to tell him, just tell me."

Ridwan knew what kind of help this was. They are clearly supervisors and superiors.

The second is the emperor's confidential officer Philactus, who is also a Paulist believer. "Andodate, my confidential officer, and the Great Sith Sheriff Wright have temporarily submitted to your administration, for Damascus provided supplies and soldiers for the offensive. In addition, the prefectures of Sith, Tarsus, Seleucia and Caesarea then attacked Cyprus. Gather at Famagusta, the new port of Lus Island. After crossing the sea, all the border residents and mercenaries in Tripoli will be under your control. "The emperor's deployment is to let Andodat once again serve as the commander-in-chief and wipe out Song's control over the entire Syria and Syria. The legacy of the Levant, the punishment and destruction of Dukak, is a silent warning to all other heretics.

In addition, Gawain told Andodat that once the Emirate of Damascus is destroyed, Egypt will be attacked next: King Baldwin will be the main force at that time, our army will provide auxiliaries and fleets, and we will also unite with the Kingdom of Amhara (Aksu The Semitic remnants of the Mu Empire) attacked from both sides.

All in all, the emperor's grand blueprint was amazing and impressive. The golden-hand consul who was sitting silently behind him could not help but sigh. How could she have thought of this former Varyag slave when she and Gawain were escorted to the imperial capital? Will there be today's achievements?

"Holy Sister, you are saying that you want to move the entire Tefris Party and the Republic? Are you going to take root in the country of Shirvan Pasha?" After the meeting, after the meeting, Kabeamiya, who was packing the emperor's belongings and luggage, expressed her inner wish. Wen couldn't help but be very surprised.

Because Cabeamia has worked hard to build twenty prosperous synagogues in Sebastian, Erez and Melitene, many of which have become places with intensive business and trade. Now she actually To migrate to East Georgia (Baku and Derbent).

"Let these synagogues and towns be treated as gifts to you and your little wife." Cabernetia smiled and nodded, indicating that Gawain's questions were true and that he was in a calm mood. Then she squinted and said with a smile. With an angry look in his eyes, "I'm afraid you will be just a Paulist lay believer until your death, and you won't make any more progress. I don't want Paul to be a lay believer either." The Luo sect's teachings have caused unnecessary trouble for you, and our sect itself is also changing now - staying in the heart of the imperial plateau will always make your little wife unhappy, so you'd better go far, far away, go The territory belonging to the Republic can naturally be found in the farthest borders in the east and north of the empire.”

"But I also want to hand over the Bosnia and Dalmatia regions to you, as well as several cities at the mouth of the Danube River. Anna is also willing to let you join forces with the Bogomil sect and spread the teachings to the West!"

"There, let me think about it, let's leave it to your eldest son and Ingrina. When the Principality of Carinthia is established, it must show its value, otherwise it will be a thorn in the eyes of your little wife for a long time. "The Holy Sister breathed a sigh of relief, then walked into Gawain's embrace, "We all stayed far away, letting you and Anna grow old together in the new palace in Constantinople."

"But..." Gawain was also quite sad. He vaguely felt that while the heroic era was stirring, it was also coming to an end quickly - his father-in-law Alexius died, Bohemond died, and Ge Frey is dead, Theodore is dead, Giliki is dead, Merrick is dead, now Sooner or later, Inglina and Cabeamia will travel to other provinces, west and east, with heroes who are both enemies and friends, and with women who fall in love with each other. These are the splendid scenes created by them. , will soon be like the early summer at this time, all of them will wither after blooming.

Then what about you, will the originally strong world tree in your heart begin to grow old and crack, and eventually leave an old and lonely figure to time?

"Well, now is not the time to frown." The female consul suddenly rubbed the center of his eyebrows with her hand, tickling, "How does my hair look tonight?" After saying that, Cabea Amiya turned around with a smile. Come over and pick up your hair with your hands - her hair has a standard thick black texture, which is different from Anna's softness, and has a unique flavor when you touch it.

"It's my favorite fish-stem braid."

"Hey, Oxus River, are you confident of winning?"

"Originally I was 50% sure, but now I am 60% to 70%. I besieged Antioch for more than 30 days, and there was no movement at the Oxus River. It shows that the so-called Song and the so-called King of Justice are not so powerful as me. If my army goes there and the other side can negotiate and retreat, it would be great. If they want to continue to fight me, I will not be afraid after collecting sufficient intelligence and having countermeasures."

"Then I will feel relieved." Kabeamiya closed her eyes, held Gawain's hands and wrapped them around her chest, and snuggled in his arms. "In the future, when I go to the country of Shirvanpasha to gain a foothold, I have to live a quiet pastoral life, because I am a female fox who grew up in the countryside."

Ten days later, the emperor's huge camp army arrived at Amida, and the camp extended directly to Samosata. However, due to the successful construction of the military station in recent years, the supply was not a problem, which made Gawain very satisfied with his marching speed.

Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

Under the gray sky, the emperor, who was resting in the royal camp in the suburbs of Amidah to relax from the fatigue of the march, received an urgent report from the Isfahan court:

What he said to the holy sister before was simply raising a flag - summer has not yet ended, autumn has not yet arrived, and the enemy army like a "natural disaster" has finally appeared on the banks of the Oxus River - the first 80,000 nomadic cavalry, Khitan, Uighur, Karluk, Turkmen, etc., holding countless flags, set out from the assembly areas of Samarkand and Bukhara, and began to cross the dividing river like a tide, and attacked the city of Amul, which was only guarded by 3,000 outposts of Seljuk soldiers.
