Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 39 Banquet
The so-called mansion is actually the former grand palace of Tappan. There are defensive towers at the four corners. It has a chapel, a small armory, a reservoir, etc. Gawain does not have a special cook, so the soldiers from all over the world of the Dalian regiment Temporary recharge Play this role: Italian caviar, Varyag cod, Slavic pickled cucumbers, Frankish meat pies, Turkic grilled venison steak, and of course the Anglo-Saxon famous dish "Looking up at the stars" are served one after another. the dining table.
"I'm still in Lent." Kabeamia, who was sitting in the seat, remained unmoved and held the simple stone rosary in her hand indifferently. Her pendant had been confiscated.
Stavlachos, who was sitting at another seat, was enjoying his meal. He was a glutton, and he was especially full of praise for the Rhine Valley wine given to him by His Excellency the Grand Duke.
"In the military, the preparations have been hasty, so this banquet is far from exquisite. When Asia Minor and the Holy Tomb are recovered, I will have boundless wealth and power, and I will entertain you two even more grandly." Gawain does not drink alcohol. , so all he had in his cup was Bulgar's sour goat cheese juice. , raised it high, and toasted to the two of them - Cabeamiya turned her face away, looking unwilling to do so, while Staurachos was definitely the type to do as the Romans do. He was flattered and immediately proposed to pay tribute to the Grand Duke for his merits and achievements. Blessings of health, after three or four drinks in a row, my fat face became as rosy as an apple.
Then Gawain put down the cup and turned to the topic, "Actually, the noble female consul had some doubts about my mobile march. Why did I go in the opposite direction and occupy the city of Nis? It's actually very simple. , now the Grand Duke is in a confrontational relationship with the Komnenos royal family, and I want to support the beauty The wise eldest princess Anna takes the throne, Alexios, the brothers Isaac, and the prince John are all my direct enemies. The Red Hand Company only has a detachment of three thousand people, even if Isaac lets me. After passing through Sophia, they will also be annihilated by the Roman army in the hinterland of the Thracian River. "
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you must be careful, otherwise the expedition to the Holy Tomb will fail." The eunuch overseeing the army suddenly had a face full of flattery.
"The city of Nis here has access to the Sava River Corridor in the north, Dalmatia and Zakhlunia in the west, the Morava River in the east, and hilly forest areas in the south that are difficult to march on. It is a very critical place. It is also a place where the expeditionary force in West Frank must pass through." Gawain took a sip of milk and recounted.
"But those pilgrim armies are not led by the hermit Peter. Have they arrived at the imperial capital?" Cabeamiya still couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked.
"Your information is still not sufficient, Consul." Gawain teased mercilessly, making her blush. You must know that Gawain's brotherhood in Bari City soon developed many pilgrims into a dense network. The intelligence network in the Apennines and even West Francia, so he knew the movements in many areas. "The noble Duke Godfrey of Lower Lorraine, and his close brother Baldwin, have brought with them a thousand knights in fine chain mail, and five thousand infantry regiments with the same equipment. There are countless Priests, noble ladies, rich peasants, and slaves formed a team of about 30,000 people and had begun to enter the Kingdom of Hungary. "
Hearing this, Cabeamiya was silent, but she quickly reacted, "You have to join Godfrey. March towards Sofia, and intimidate the emperor's brother Isaac to let you go to Constantinople. ”
"That's right. You are very smart, Archon, but you are wrong about something. That is, I will not only force Isaac to open the gate of Sophia, but if he refuses to submit, I will attack it with my own hands. Defeat this arrogant imperial brother, and give Komneno some words and lessons." Gawain drank the juice from the cup and stared at Cabeamiya with a look of absolute certainty.
Over there, the eunuch who was overseeing the army smelled of alcohol. His mind had already been anesthetized by alcohol and he was yelling nonsense. If so, then I will act as a messenger and force His Majesty to walk out of the Brachna Palace and surrender to His Excellency the Grand Duke’s riding crop, uh-uh-" Then he held on to the corner of the table and vomited on the floor.
At this time, Gawain also stood up from the couch and walked to Cabeamiya, "How about it, noble female consul, a descendant of the Republic of Teflis, what do you think... "
It’s up to Cabea Amia to make a decision. For hundreds of years, the Paulists have been most hostile to the Roman emperors. No matter which emperor was in power, they adopted a ruthless policy of suppression against the Paulists. , which once made the roads under the Anatolian Mountains of Minor Asia It was full of gallows and burning racks. As long as they could resist the Roman emperor, the Paulists were not afraid to cooperate with anyone, be it a Turkic Khan, a sultan, a Saracen emir, or a Slavic monarch. In this case, it was no match for the current high Cooperation with literature seems to be feasible.
However, Caperamia still felt ashamed, because the rules taught her that as long as she was with Gawain, her shame would be continuous, not to mention "Aren't you a priest ordained by the city of Rome?"
"Everything I have done is for my country, the new world country. I believe I have made it very clear to you before. What do you Paulists need? It's just a territory that can freely tolerate your own religion. It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will grant you a suitable territory." Gawain's tone was arrogant, and he had reached the point where Kabea could do it. Mia was so frightened that she really didn't expect such a Varyag barbarian. She originally thought that he was just for sex or to gain glory, but who would have thought that this guy from the north would , actually has such a grand plan, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to make all friends and fight against all enemies.
Cabea Amiya, trapped in paradox and confusion, doesn’t know where she or the entire Republic of Teflis will go. However, Gawain’s big hand has already reached out, “In this world, the only interesting thing is not Is it just to build your own country? Being a priest, an emperor's mercenary, or any other status will not hinder my ideas and actions. If you feel afraid and are unwilling to seize the opportunity, then I will not force you. The Pauline Hostess.”
"It's ridiculous. I have nothing to be afraid of. Even if you cooperate with me, you have to be careful of my fangs, Stephen Gawain. I will inadvertently trap you, make things difficult for you at any time, and kill you." Although Kabeamiya said something tough, she still stretched out her hand, and it was immediately held by Gawain's palm, feeling a wave of warmth. As the fingertips poured into her body, the light blue eyes were also smiling at her, "You should hide your identity during this period. I will arrange a separate and secluded tent for you, and Don't use venom easily again - by the way, last night you shouted that you were willing to be my sister..."
"Stop talking! If you still hope to maintain a cooperative relationship with me, then don't say another syllable on this matter, forget it completely, and sink to the bottom of the Morava River!" Kabeamiya In embarrassment, he quickly withdrew his hand. The teachings of the Paulists were influenced by the original Crescent Sect, Manichaeism and Worship. Zantine Iconoclasm has a great influence, and the legacy of the Persian region still exists, especially for Kabeamia Helisochir, because the daughter of a holy descendant must retain her "virgin" status for life, but Since the marriage cannot be terminated, the couple can have a holy marriage with their de facto husband and present themselves as "brother and sister" to others.
"Yeah, that's quite a pity." I don't know if the expression on Gawain's face is sincere or just fake.
After the banquet, Gawain went to his house alone, a small sturdy room in the Grand Duke's mansion next to the tower. "Okay, that's it. You two should rest early at night. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with." , Godfrey’s army is not far away from us.” On the stone stairs of the tower, Gawain said to Muzaffy-Addin and Andodat, and then the two people argued with each other and walked down. Gawain lit the candle in the groove of the wall, and then Zhiya pushed open the wooden door, locked the latch, and then the light instantly illuminated the small room.
Then, he saw an unimaginable scene.
Ajiehe stood there, but not wearing her iconic robe. Instead, she was wearing a white apron, white katyusha on her long hair, and her slender legs were in white stockings and black stockings. She was wearing a maid outfit, and she also wore a copper badge of "Red Hand Cross Sword" on her chest. Then she smiled and lowered her head, held up the white lotus leaf-shaped skirt with her hands and bowed down, "Welcome back, my master, you need... ....”
"What are you doing, demon of hell!" Gawain remained motionless.
"I just want to bring you some surprises from that era." As he said this, Ajiehe playfully put his hands behind his back, tilted his head and blinked, and walked towards Gawain step by step, until the opponent's phosphorus fire sword He put it on his neck, "Why bother, Sir Gawain, you were a knighted figure in that era. Or you don't like this? "In the blink of an eye, Ajiehe was already wearing a pink nurse's uniform and a short British nurse's hat embroidered with a cross sword. He was holding a stethoscope in his hand, and his voice became hoarse and magnetic, "Sir, do you like this? ? Oh, patient, simple medication is no longer enough. Let me cooperate with you in some intense and fun physical therapy."

"Tell me, what's the point of it?"
"You have forgotten that I am the Lord of Hell and can change seven times in one day. My dear Gawain, you performed very well last night and held your own, even though the unlucky heretic girl took the Indian potion. So. , my strength has been restored during this period.”
"You were the one who secretly created that camping map and moved Cabernetia into my camp, right?" (To be continued ~^~)
