Eagle Byzantium

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah", the Pauline believers in formation had never suffered such intensive long-range attacks. In their field of vision, the incomparable emperor, the purple and gold-rimmed cloak, and the Saint Zagreb with the cross emblem Armor, a black divine horse, a long sword and bow embroidered with gold, and behind him are thousands of majestic imperial troops. With Alexios's order, billions of bows and arrows will bring devastating attacks to one's side.

If you fight against such an opponent, you will undoubtedly suffer a crushing blow.

Rows of slow-moving Pauline believers were shot down mercilessly from the front. Some carried bent arrows and trembled on the ground, while the rest ran towards Fort Philip, dragging their weapons.

"Keep shooting!" Alexios raised the "Holy Sea" sword, "This is only the third round of volleys. Is the enemy so weak?"

Amidst the sound of the trumpet, Yagfi, the commander of the Varangian Palace Guards, laughed, rode close to the emperor and said, "No need, Your Majesty, just send the cavalry to harvest." Then he pointed to the wilderness opposite, like a dense forest. With the arrow feathers stuck on it like stubble, and the corpses of the enemy still lying around, the rest of the people couldn't hold on at all, raising a lot of dust and fleeing towards Fort Philip.

Of course, among them was the Golden-Hand Archon Kabeamia Helisocher. She was wearing a black cloak and dropped the Holy Fire flag. With a horrified expression on her face, she retreated under the cover of her co-workers. In the city - and outside the city, the mercenary Turkic cavalry on the left and right flanks of Alexios, holding scimitars and spears, were sweeping through the remnants of their own army in the wilderness, killing and stabbing, and blood was flowing everywhere.

"No, no! In terms of head-to-head confrontation, can my army and I still be no match for this evil emperor who persecutes believers?" Cabeamiya was so distraught that she rushed into the city gate and came to the monastery hall. There, Romanus, who was holding the lamb, was lifted up by the believers. "Get on the horse, we can't lose you yet!" Cabea Amiya gritted her white teeth and asked the believers to push Romanus onto the horse, and then gave him a slap. A riding whip, "We exit this fortress and temporarily turn towards the Danube River. Contact more Cuman tribes there and then compete with the evil emperor."

Soon, at the small gate of Philip Castle, Cabeamia and Romanus led a small group of people and fled, quickly disappearing into the wilderness and hills.

All the heretical believers dispersed. No one was seriously guarding the city. The cavalry sent by Alexios was divided into small groups to intercept, pursue and attack everywhere. The emperor specifically ordered, "To deal with the Tefris party members who dare to support the false emperor, all of them will be killed on the spot without trial."

One of the believers' army, which consisted of thousands of people, panicked and chose no route when they retreated. He ran towards the neighboring Adrianople, but was intercepted by Isaac Komnenos's army. No one escaped, but at this time there were not many Pauline believers who dared to resist. Most people surrendered immediately, and what awaited them was to enter the royal leather workshop or armory as slave labor, where they would spend their entire lives miserable in the stench (the smell of tanning) and whip punishment.

Later, the emperor and Sebastocrat's army met at Fort Philip, and the two brothers embraced each other closely. "In the letter you sent me earlier, you expressed your hope to win over the widow of the Messadeni family. Is the idea done now?" Alexios took the lead in caring about his younger brother's lifelong affairs.

But Isaac was in an angry and low mood, "Eudosia's sister slipped away."

"Oh. It seems that this woman is much more difficult to tame than her sister Eudoxia." Alexios said meaningfully. At this time, Mikhail was staying in the camp and was not with him.

"Can the palace be entrusted to your wife?" Then Isaac was a little worried.

"No problem." The emperor said calmly, with no expression on his face. "Tomorrow we will break camp and move forward to Adrianople. I hope to get the exact situation in the west."

But after nightfall, when the emperor, Sebastocrat, and the generals and staff who went on the expedition held a grand banquet, the messenger delivered the letter to the emperor, "The city of Za'tar has been captured by Gawain and Felaye!" Alexios couldn't hold back and blurted out. Then the dance music stopped instantly, and everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor's expression in surprise - he lowered his head in pain, holding the parchment of the letter.

Damn it, these profit-seeking software frogs in Venice seem to be making an enemy of me. I will soon deprive them of their title of consul, destroy their business districts in the imperial capital, and impose extremely heavy taxes on everyone: Ah Lexius thought so bitterly.

But this idea must be buried in his heart for the time being, and he must not let it out, because Alexios still has to rely on the Venetian fleet, but what kind of magic did Gawain, a barbarian, use to make Venice and Amalfi stand on his side? This way?

Then Alexios opened the second letter, which was submitted by Breanus, and his anger filled his heart even more, "Stephen Gawain actually accepted the position of Patriarch of St. Peter, and combined the Red Hand Dalian Team with Bari The whole city was handed over to the city of Rome..."

The third letter almost made the emperor vomit blood. If it wasn't for the public, he would have vomited blood. "Gawain still has the nerve to say that the attack on Bourdin was for me and for my own good. He also got Bourdin's confession and the redemption money sent by Bourdin! It's so shameless!" Then, the emperor walked down and suddenly opened the box that came with Gawain's letter. It was full of shiny silver coins. "Yes, Anna was deceived by this cunning barbarian..." Alexius thought so in his heart, and 10,000 war horses and knights lined up in dense formations, whistling past, and then 10,000 lances thumped, all piercing his "heart barrier", causing the bricks and stones to collapse and dust to fly.

With a "bang", the dancers and musicians at the banquet did not dare to say a word, and they all fell to the ground. The emperor's boots kicked the box hard, and the silver coins rolled everywhere. Even Isaac put down his wine glass and stood up. He had never seen his brother, who was usually elegant and calm, so angry.

But Alexius quickly calmed down. He waved his hand, "These scattered silver coins are all obtained by my Grand Duke in the expedition against Bordin. Now, as a prize, all of them will be rewarded to the court officials, guards and musicians at the banquet." Everyone hurriedly fell to their knees to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his grace.

Outside the gate of the banquet, Alexius put his hands on his waist and was adjusting his breathing. Isaac was holding a wine glass behind him and whispered, "Is there something wrong with Gawain's company that makes you feel disgusted? I have said that this guy is as dangerous as the Norman bandits."

"It doesn't matter. I won't lose. I have my own countermeasures." Alexius smiled and looked at the bright moon in the sky. "Call the imperial eunuch. I want to mobilize Brennus of Durazzo and 5,000 detachments of soldiers. Tell Titius and Diogenes to come with them." (To be continued ~^~)
