Eagle Byzantium

At this time, Melo stood up slowly and said, "I still agree with Bramson's idea."

Next to them, Branas and Walter were relatively silent, and Chief Bo always stood beside Gawain without making a sound, so when the camp manager, who was actually Gawain's military deputy, spoke, the whole venue was in a state of silence. Silence.

Anna was very satisfied with the timing chosen by the camp manager and the situation created. She even moved the huge figure of Gawain in front of the curtain twice to ask his good comrade to share his valuable insights.

"If the starting point is just to appease the local Genate nobles, I personally think it is not that important to accept or not to accept the Grand Duke's edict." Mero spoke fluently and had a calm attitude, "If you accept the title, of course you can. We can use this official title to do many cheap things, but if we think about it the other way around, we They are also shackled in the existing system of the empire. Once the emperor infiltrates his power, why do we think that the local Jinat will follow the orders of the Grand Duke to fight, and will not accept the emperor's bribes and launch a larger campaign against the military government? What about the rebellion! Is the Grand Duke more important than the Emperor’s orders among imperial officials?”

Immediately, many generals expressed their admiration for the camp manager's insight, "Don't hesitate!" Bramson once again issued such an appeal.

There was even more applause from behind the curtain. Gawain looked back and saw Anna's bright eyes behind the gauze, blinking at him. This was probably a signal for him to agree to the camp manager's plan as soon as possible: to refuse the royal title and establish his own country - - What a title and flag, take me to the couch and make me your wife, then you have everything - I am the glorious combination of Ducasse and Comnenus.

At this time, she saw Gawain turn his head and announce to Mero and everyone, "The plan mentioned by the camp manager is indeed very reasonable. Now, please raise your hands. Those who agree with Wessart, please Raise your finger."

Melo took the lead and raised his middle and index fingers together, followed by Bramson, Birrell and Walter followed the trend. They also responded one after another: Chief Herald Officer Andodat couldn't help but look behind the curtain. Although Anna didn't make any movement there, her eyes were already locked on her, and she couldn't help but sweat dripping down. Then she looked at the steps standing on the steps. Your Majesty the General, to whom I am loyal wholeheartedly. Feeling very conflicted and swaying in his heart, he finally stretched out his hand and folded his five fingers downward - indicating that the young man had given up.

In the end, Giovanni was the only one who clearly did not raise his hand or say a word.

But Anna is already very satisfied, and there are no obstacles in her control of the situation. Achieving the results you want: In fact, the same is true for letting the big barbarian accept the imperial edict. As long as everyone in the division and the military government understands that Anna's opinions must be respected.

"Hmm..." Gawain pointed his chin with his finger, and then looked at each other with Souji Bo to signal. Then the loud voice began to echo in the hall.

At the same time, Anna stood up from the armchair with great satisfaction. Agnes also held up the train of her skirt. The fat eunuch next to her had already begun to collect various things. She no longer had any need to observe this meeting. .

"The steward's plan is not only reasonable, but also has the support of most people. So I think it is best to accept the emperor's imperial title." Gawain's words were loud and clear, and Anna was behind the curtain. She turned her back to him, stunned.

"Is this teasing?" Anna immediately felt blood boiling from her little chest. It penetrated to her eyes and throat. She turned around angrily, but she saw that in the entire hall, the generals were sitting or standing. Most of them had not recovered from what Gawain had just said, and Anna Same, masked expression.

The sound of boots on the steps was sonorous and rhythmic, and Gawain slowly walked down, "Now Seleucia is surrounded by powerful enemies, not to mention the Roman Empire, the Seljuks, or the Armenians. Even forces like Lapsomates and Kallegos We cannot underestimate it. Although establishing a state is our lofty goal, there is no need to be tied up for it. That would be putting the cart before the horse. If we rush to achieve success, Seleucia may soon be like Nako. Like Niya, he was isolated by the surrounding forces. We must accumulate food, wealth and weapons, train better and more elite troops, build richer and stronger fortress cities, and possess More and faster fleets, these are all things that need to be brought I can't wait to pursue it, but there is no need to rush for an arrogant title like 'Caesar' - therefore, I am willing to take over the emperor's imperial title, assume the position of Grand Duke of the Empire, and show my goodwill to the emperor. Loyalty, that’s my plan.”

"But..." After Anna kept making eyes at Mero, the camp manager also tried to persuade Gawain.

"If you want to gain a foothold in Cilicia, you must obtain the legal cloak granted by the Roman Empire. This is where we are superior to Prince Ruben's hyena, otherwise even Feraredos Blechamios The level cannot be compared! "Gawain's fist hit the table, and then he said to the herald officer with burning eyes, "I will invite Lord Maupulos tomorrow. I am willing to take the ribbon and seal and turn it into a sword in the emperor's hand. Protect this land and sea.”

"That's it!" Gawain finally said these words very seriously, like a phosphorus fire sword splitting the air, full of unquestionable tone. All the generals stood up together and lowered their heads to show that they fully accepted his conclusion. .

Anna behind the curtain pinched the tie, very embarrassed, and then she heard Gawain's subsequent words, "In the future, there will be no need for you to participate in the vote on such confidential matters. Now the situation is extremely tense and everyone has important responsibilities. There is no need." Just waste your time here and just follow my instructions."

"Yes, Your Excellency." All the division generals, including Branas, responded in unison.

"Your Excellency, the seals of all documents are currently used by you and Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyi. The patterns are exactly the same, which will interfere with the flow of affairs." Taking this opportunity, the herald officer and the chief minister issued such accusations at the same time.

Then Gawain turned around and spread his hands to make gestures, "This can be easily solved. Let the person in charge of the armory, Samuel Fa, cast two seals, one big and one small. The big one only has the red hand pattern. The shield area of ​​​​the small one only has the seven-ridge pattern. The former is made by me. The latter belongs exclusively to the Princess in Purple. From then on, Seleucia's laws, taxation and diplomatic treaties were jointly combined by large and small seals; military affairs, expeditions, and the Sixth Department were only combined with my seals; while the model farm and palace private property affairs were combined. The princess’s little seal can be used for verification.”

Hearing this, Anna almost fainted and fell down.

What's more, she and most of the people present didn't know what Gawain meant by "Six Divisions". (To be continued ~^~)
