Eagle Byzantium

"I agree with Gawain's plan, and I believe Godfrey and Lord Raymond have the same view." At this time, Bohemond also raised his hand in agreement.

Then Baldwin and Robert of Flanders raised their hands in approval.

And Xio over there slowly raised his hand, also agreeing.

Admar nodded as he looked around the scene. Then he stood in front of Gawain, kissed Gawain's nose and touched his forehead. Then he stepped back, took off his beautifully embroidered trousers, and took off his clothes. He took off all the rings and let the dumbfounded servants around him take them, "Said that he had For those who don’t have gold or silver, that’s it. There’s no need to force me. I’ll first donate all my robes, sacred vessels, and everything made of gold and silver to Monicini in Pisa in exchange for it. Some food—even if I’m covered in flesh and thorns, I still want to reach the Holy City.”

Then, the hermit Peter also walked up to Gawain. The two looked at each other, and then Peter took out all the valuable things on his body, "I hope I can exchange them for five beans."

Below is Bohemond. He gritted his teeth and placed his favorite beautiful wine glass on the altar. Then he took off his diamond-encrusted sword and placed it on it. "Now is the time to gamble. No one will pity anything that can be used as a bargaining chip.”

Gawain calmly took out the silver horse-head scepter from his belt and placed it on the altar. Then everyone, whether they were knights or priests, lined up and soon all kinds of valuable things were piled up. "Ten days' supply may not be enough, but it can at least last six or seven days."

"I will win and open up a battlefield for you to stand on, so that you can face the pagan army of Cobuha by the mighty Orontes River and either win or die." After that, , Gawain shrank his shoulders, then looked at everyone, then turned and left.

On the street outside St. Peter's Church, when Gawain was walking towards his guards and mounts step by step, a man in a tattered cloak suddenly crawled to Gawain's feet. The guard warriors hurriedly stopped him, but the man He kept shouting in broken Greek, "Grand Duke, Grand Duke! I just heard your words and determination in the corner of the outer court. You are the person who will lead everyone out of this desperate situation. It's a pity that when I said my words No one would believe a blind man's words."

The man's bony hands kept shaking in front of Gawain's eyes, and his voice was hoarse, but the people around him were laughing at him.

Gawain turned around and looked at this man. He was horribly thin and short. His eyes were all white and he kept opening and closing his mouth, "Who are you?"

"I am a devout priest, Bartholomew from Provence, and I have received the divine revelation of victory!"

Everyone around burst into laughter. It seemed that no one took this guy seriously. One of them pressed Bartholomew's head with a sour nose and said, "He is bragging. He is not a divine person at all, but Lord Raymond." A handyman in the kitchen!"

"My divine status was not conferred by the church at all. They are not qualified. It was given by the Lord and the Holy Apostles personally. I received the revelation from the dream that in the backyard of St. Andrew's Church on the edge of the city, there is an extremely sacred oracle. The weapon, if it can be obtained, can wash away the sins of all believers and defeat the armies of heathens." After Bartholomew finished speaking, he shouted the content of the Gospel, "The soldiers on one side thrust their spears into the crotch of our Lord. Blood and water came out of the ribs!”

"Holy Spear?" Gawain then pointed at Bartholomew and shouted, "That's nonsense. Everyone knows that this Spear of Longinus is now in the palace of Constantinople."

"That's a fake, I'm talking about the real thing!"

"What proof do you have?"

"My heart is the proof that this has been tested by the Lord. It was clearly told to me by the Lord and Saint Andrew in a dream. There was absolutely no hindrance or dishonesty involved. I originally planned to tell My master Lord Raymond, but realize that this real thing belongs to all pilgrims. Grand Duke, if you still don’t believe it, please look at my eyes. They were fine before, but now they are blind. This is what the Holy Apostle Andrew asked of me - if I tell this secret, I must accept it. Bear this sin and praise Jesus, who is both truly God and truly human! The blood flows from his veins and the water flows from his belly.” Then Bartholomew shouted like a madman. When he screamed, people around him beat and scolded him, saying that he He is a madman, "You are blind because you are hungry, because a lazy man like you can't bear the labor and can't get paid. You actually want to use this trick to deceive the mercy of the lords. The priest Ademar will never approve of this." Such nonsense.”

"Is it the same as the dream of the purple-robed princess?" The warriors behind Gawain began to murmur in a low voice.

Gawain rolled his eyes twice, "Lock this guy up. I will work with other lords to verify this matter in three days. Now send people to seal up St. Andrew's Church. No No one is allowed to be released, so that the judgment will not be fair when the time comes.”

"Grand Duke, I have dreamed of Jesus and Saint Andrew three times in total. He will definitely entrust it to me for the fourth time. Grand Duke, Grand Duke!" Bartholomew was chained up by a swarm of warriors and was still struggling. plead to.

"Then wait three days. You will definitely see us for the fourth time." Gawain clapped his hands and told the crowd gathered to prepare for war with peace of mind and strictly prohibit such rumors from recurring in the city - as for what Bartholomew mentioned The authenticity of the Holy Spear will definitely be known in three days.

After the crowd slowly dispersed, Gawain mounted his horse and headed straight for the Orontes camp outside the city.

When he came back, the "breast belt wall" and "mother-child gate" had been completed.

But that Geddie was still roaring on the top of the city wall, more majestic than the Grand Duke. The Crescent Church laborers, who were exhausted and half-starved, were under the supervision of the soldiers' swords and whips, continuing to make special battlements on the sub-walls and city walls, and transporting uniformly cut rafts to them. Following Gawain in, there were more than 2,000 soldiers from the Gimges Brigade. One-third of the soldiers on the top of the city were responsible for guarding their respective posts. In the scorching heat of early June, they wore sturdy armor, held torches, and stared at the Turkish siege army opposite.

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

The rest of the soldiers were also wearing short shirts in the camp in an orderly manner, either resting or helping to transport things.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Gawain walked to the edge of his crimson tent and was about to discuss the secrets of the battle with Giovanni and other generals, but he found that General Ossen, his brother Hallam, and his daughter Hertomia were all half-kneeling there.

"You mean, you want to leave this camp and Antioch and take a boat back to the Lampron Castle in Cilicia?" After a while, Gawain sat on the chair and said to the Hertomis family. (To be continued ~^~)
