South of the Mut Valley, the four military towns that were originally sealed to the Paulists, and now located in the plains east of the Sarlev River, are Koban and Sabak, which have been captured by the rebellious Jinats, and the market towns have been brutally destroyed. Burn, rebel cavalry They were flying through the ruins of houses and streets, holding up the looted goods. The infantrymen guarded the erected torture racks, which were covered with bloody heads. They were all unable to retreat and were beaten by the rebels. Brutally murdered Pauline believers.

Of course, there were also ordinary Greek tenant farmers who had been living in these towns before, and many of them were also destroyed - especially Tiga Kallegos, who personally killed more than fifty people with a sword, and all of his victims were His dependent farmers, who were later attracted by the higher wages and harvests, left and went to work on the holy land or the Pauline land. In the eyes of the two brothers, these were all "rebellious and unworthy breeds who must be killed."

This also shows that the real reason for the rebellion of the two brothers has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

"Work harder and pull out the other two crumbling market towns. His Majesty the Emperor's team will arrive. Then we will enter Seleucia again and kill all those guys from the wild land. Everyone can Get a lot of trophies and rewards." Leo and Diga were full of confidence because of the previous emperor's reward. The secret messenger came for the second time, telling them that the imperial army had arrived in the city of Konya, and that the city of Tarsus over there had also been recovered by the empire. Gawain's army had no way to advance or retreat - the days of this greedy bear were not long. Now, His Majesty is going to strip him of his title, tie him up with a dog chain, and parade him through the streets of the Grand Arena in the imperial capital.

The two remaining military towns on the Hardy Ridge, namely Rum and Kadir, were defended by the Pauline believers. They built earth walls, dug trenches, and lined them with dense thorns and antlers, desperately resisting. Well, this group of believers have done this many times before After being defeated by Gawain, he now learned how to fight, at least defensive warfare, how to rationally allocate military power, and how to repeatedly compete for towers and key points, so for a while, he actually fought to a draw with four thousand rebels and persisted. Shaotian. And Leo also decided not to be polite. The private soldiers in his castle dug a horizontal ditch despite the cross-fired arrows, separated Lum and Kadir, and introduced the Sarlev River water to flow back. , and built an earth embankment along one side, occupied the soldiers on it, and concentrated their strength to attack Rumu first.

Behind the wooden fence and curtain wall, Philus, the Pauline elder, was directing and dispatching the battle, but he was worried and kept looking in the direction of Seleucia: If the Grand Duke's troops were really trapped in the Cilicia area, then It's really a desperate situation.

In the direction that Philus hoped for, the Kallegos brothers were also prepared: they also forced their subordinate peasants to dig a horizontal trench, filled it with river water, and surrounded it to form a trench. Deer antlers and spear fence; in addition, on the mountain road facing Fort Colleadio, Tiga Kallegos personally led his men and horses to occupy a strategic position, In short, we must block any possible reinforcements from Gawain. According to reliable intelligence, His Majesty has occupied Tarsus with 10,000 soldiers. Gawain's main force will not be able to return in a short time. His Majesty assures them that as long as Gawain If you dare to act rashly, let this army destroy him directly. Maybe Gawain is begging for mercy in the city of Tarsus now!

However, the reinforcements still arrived. Hundreds of Cabeamia's believers who originally went to Antioch, as well as an infantry detachment brought by Branas and Walter from Seleucia, arrived at the first crossroads. Set up a formation in front of the ditch.

"The Grand Duke's reinforcements will arrive immediately. True believers, the white and kind God has never abandoned us. We will stand firm under the blade of the evil enemy and will retaliate in kind in the future!" The female consul erected a shining golden flag in the sunshine of the valley. Gloves, shouting with all his strength to the fireworks-filled town of Rum.

The responding voices of the believers in the city were quickly drowned out by the jeers of the rebels guarding the other side of the ditch, "Is that all there are? How pitiful, your grand duke's fate will soon be even more miserable!"

The rebels even intentionally retreated, leaving behind the empty antlers. Then they all mounted their horses, shouting and provoking like rain, "Come, cross this trench, and then line up your formation, we will ride on our horses to capture you." Washed away - don't tell me, you bunch of despicable peasants can't even wade in water."

"Calm down, everyone." Walter stood at the front of the formation, waving and cheering at the angry soldiers of the Guardian Brigade detachment.

After all, there are only about a thousand men and horses together now. If we really take the risk to attack, we may really be unable to withstand the enemy's counterattack and fall into a complete disaster.

Under the city of Seleucia, at the construction site where scaffolding had been erected for the "John the Baptist and St. Paul Evangelical Hospital", many craftsmen and soldiers looked nervous. They abandoned their equipment and tools and were unwilling to work. They surrounded the director of the project. Around him, people kept trembling and asking, is it true that the king of the Roman Empire is going to invade the country with troops? It is said that the violent majesty wants to behead and hang everyone who works for the Grand Duke?

Many people even fled into the mountains and hills with some wages and dry food. Director Ominisis Void was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were covered with burning blisters, but it didn't help - the whole building The castle is full of scenes damaged by wind and rain, and there are Rumors spread that the emperor's other army, commanded by Prince John himself, and thousands of ships, came down the Gulf of Atalia to attack the city directly, and Nikka Kallegos also He gave up the Key and Lock Castle and went to the side of the prince.

The next rumor was even more outrageous. It was said that Gaia and Nexus, the two youngest "Kalegos" who served as guards around Gawain and Anna, had assassinated the Grand Duke and the Princess in Purple and took their heads with them. , went to Tarsus.

After hearing all the happenings outside the corridor in the city, the little sunfish Agnes turned pale and lost her mind. She sat blankly in front of the reading table in the small chapel, held her long gray hair with her fingers, and kept saying, "I should do it for Anna." Pray, no, even pray for the lewd bear, and pray for the men and women in the entire city of Seleucia. Girls pray, Holy Mary, my Lord who is king in heaven, I offer you a heartfelt hymn. Please bless us to overcome suffering and setbacks. The people on this land only hope to be favored by you, even if it is your favor. It is a star point, and it will also become a great source of courage for us to defeat the devil..."

On the high hill on the west side of the mouth of the Sarrev River, the majestic "Red Hand Seven Ridges Flag" was quickly raised and held in the hands of the iron-tower-like Dim Hussehin. The entire Red Hand Brigade was lined up. They formed a deep and dense team, overlooking the bridge leading to the other side, where all kinds of red-handed cavalry were scrambling to pass - the infantry kept shouting "Purple Clothes" The princess’s divine support and the guidance of the Three Saints are with us.” The tip of the spear swayed, making a sound that could shake the ocean. Gawain, who was riding on a silver-white horse, pulled out the silver horse-head scepter. "The boring prayers and songs of longing for redemption are over, and it's time to decide with fire and sword whose plow will remain in this fertile land."
