Eagle Byzantium

In fact, Sebastocrat's swordsmanship and archery have been trained since he was a child, and he was taught by a famous family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is very superb. However, because his wrist was injured by a stone just now, and the hero is short of breath, he cannot use it at all. , a Greek soldier tentatively thrust a spear at him, but he blocked it with a backhand chop. Then the emperor's brother roared, jumped forward half a step, and slashed another Greek soldier who came forward.

Wright was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but the two military servants stepped forward bravely and pulled back the injured comrade who fell to the ground. At this time, about ten people surrounded Isaac. The emperor's brother lost his helmet and horse, and his robe and armor were covered with blood. Of course, it was not him who killed the enemy, but the blood splashed on him by his companions. It stood in the sky. Among the flying poplar flowers, it looks particularly tragic.

"Trapped him with spears." Wright shouted, and then the soldiers and servants formed a circle with four or five spear points, surrounding the emperor's brother. Isaac was almost blinded by the cold light of the spear points. Without opening his eyes, he could only swing his sword to chop in vain, but he blocked one, and another one came out immediately. Slowly, his energy and fighting spirit began to be exhausted. Then Wright smiled evilly and waved to the soldiers behind him. The servant came up with a sling, "Keep smashing."

Then, the whistling stones kept hitting the emperor's brother's armor. Isaac could neither fight nor walk. He could only assume various postures on the spot to avoid the stones coming from all directions, but his sword skills No matter how strong he is, he is still afraid of this kind of swarming. First, he was hit by a stone in the lower abdomen. The emperor's brother crouched down in pain, and then he was hit again on the shoulder. He leaned over. Finally, the servant did not throw a sling, but he raised an unpolished stone and threw it at Isaac, hitting Isaac in the forehead. As Wright shouted, "Be careful, don't really kill me," Isaac became dizzy. His eyes turned black and blood continued to flow. He cursed Gawain, a bastard and a barbarian, and slowly fell down.

Falling heavily on the dirt, Isaac's eyes saw that the sky had become gloomy, a cold wind was blowing, and people's screams were everywhere. Then an unknown wrist roughly stretched out and pulled away the hilt of his sword. Then two or three people pounced on him and took away the armor and accessories, "Gold, silver!". Then the calfskin belt and boots produced in Nicomedia were also peeled off, and several wooden sticks stretched out and were placed under his body. "One, two, three, get up!", flipping him over. . Then the neck seemed to be suffocated - and the silk and gold-embroidered cloak was pulled away.

The emperor's brother, who finally became naked, could only look at the soil and grass roots as far as he could see with grief and indignation. All his fate was in the hands of these humble military servants, and someone was kicking his wounds. There were also local dialects from all over the world. Finally, an old guy with shaggy hair pulled him back and looked at him like a dead dog. Then he suddenly grinned, showing his ugly buck teeth, and smiled. Li didn't know when he raised an axe. "Kill you."

Next to him, Wright directed others to throw the stripped trophies onto the mule cart, and then looked around. When his companions from the cavalry company approached, they shouted and waved their swords in threats. It means this is ours and no one else is allowed to interfere.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I am the most glorious person of the Roman Empire, take me to your Grand Duke." Isaac looked at the ax blade, arched his shoulders, and begged quickly with weakness and fear.

"Kill you." The old military servant seemed to not understand Greek at all, so he raised the ax and prepared to chop it down, but was blocked by Wright who heard this, "Don't be stupid, then Keep him alive, maybe take this guy to see the Grand Duke, and we can get more rewards."

Several military servants lifted up the emperor's younger brother, who was left alone, and threw them into the mule cart. They tied them tightly with ropes like animals, then pushed the baggage cart and rumbled towards the pre-designated camping spot. .

On the banks of the Prevensus River, the 15,000 Byzantine soldiers who originally guarded Fort Sophia, except for a thousand cavalry who ran away, all surrendered and suffered the humiliation of disarming. The arrogant Godfrey was unwilling to kill them. , except for burying the bodies, they followed Gawain's suggestion and sent them all towards Adrianople.

In this battle, the supplies seized were extremely rich. A large amount of supplies, coins and cloth were stored in the warehouses of the small town. What made Gawain even more delighted was that the Greek engineer named Samuel Far fell into his camp and became his Prisoners, not only the secret recipe of "Roman Fire" can be obtained Yes, we can still persuade this engineer to join our side and provide the engineering technology secrets of Byzantium and Rome. Although the combat effectiveness of the army in this empire is uneven, many core technologies still have characteristics and advantages in the world at that time. Fortifications , construction technology, etc.

"Here are the coins newly minted by the emperor, Byzantine and Hasniel gold coins. Yes, the fineness has reached seven-eighths of the previous Solid coins. Now the great Emperor has finally stabilized the value of the coins, and also allowed my The seizure is more substantial." At the camp banquet. Stephen Gawain said with a sarcastic tone, looking at the large pile of shining coins in the box. The other Frankish pilgrim nobles and women also laughed and raised their glasses to celebrate this great victory. The king of Greece can no longer underestimate us.

"It's just Agamemnon." Godfrey, who was leaning at the dining table, also mocked Alexios Comnenos in a drunken tone.

At this moment, Baldwin's wife, Godhild, stepped forward and came to Gawain. Grand Duke Bari stood up and saluted solemnly. Godhild also smiled and lifted her skirt to return the salute, then stretched out her hand. Gawain took the other's hand amid laughter, "I hope the King of Greece can learn lessons from this failure, and I also wish us to arrive safely in the court of Constantinople and arrive at the Holy Sepulchre smoothly in the future." Godhild said, and then said, "The Grand Duke should be familiar with the dances in the Greek region. I wonder if you can teach me."

"Of course, noble and beautiful lady." Gawain agreed generously, and then all the men and women present laughed and danced with each other.

And Godfrey sat there, looking very contented, holding up the wine glass and taking one sip after another.

Gawain's dance steps were considerate and elegant, and there was no sense of disobedience with his tall figure. He won the praise of many noble ladies including Godhild, and many knights in the Frankish land also admired this priest. After the dance ended, Gawain saw Giovanni and Light standing at the door of the tent. The latter had an unusually bright look in his eyes, looking at the men and women in the tent with envy.

"That man only said that he was the glory of the empire, but he refused to admit his specific identity. I'm afraid he is a nobleman." After saying goodbye, Gawain stood side by side with the two men outside the tent, listening to Light's narration. Then Gawain held up a purse, "There are 20 Hesnel gold coins in it. You did a great job, Light. You have good luck and good eyesight. From now on, you are not only a camp officer, but also allowed to rejoin the Brocade Brotherhood. However, you must have some self-control in the future-I will go and see about this matter, but don't tell Godfrey and others for the time being." (To be continued ~^~)
