Eagle Byzantium

"Then I will go west, west, west. Little Sunfish, as long as you can use your talents to serve me and build sharp weapons like the Great Plani Cannon, in the future, the rich maritime country of Lesbos will be I will grant you and your family a separate kingdom." The Grand Duke started to induce the little sunfish, just like he promised to give the eastern Anatolian fortress Melitene to Kabeami in the future. Yaban.

Lesbos Island has been the most powerful city-state on the Sea of ​​Arches since ancient times. Even Little Sunfish's grandfather is one of the nobles with the most extensive fields and the highest lintel on the island. If Gawain really gives the entire island to Agnes in the future, then she will be an important figure in the entire empire. Agnes can't help but see a beautiful picture in front of her eyes: surrounded by the vast blue ocean, the sailing boat is comfortable The land is driving back and forth, on the island Among the red-tiled and white-walled villas dotted with emerald green palms on the island, I was wearing an elegant robe and sitting on a small chair beside the mottled low wall. The sea breeze was blowing, and beautiful women of various appearances were sitting or lying around, surrounded by In front of her knees, some sang and some discussed issues , some are feeding themselves grapes or pineapples, with a wise expression on their faces, holding scrolls of drawings with various instruments drawn on them. Behind her is the academy with a towering vault. is the style and characteristics of Neoplatonism, only good looks are accepted High-end girls come to learn mechanical knowledge such as engineering, sieges, ships, etc. Everywhere there are well-dressed girls discussing these issues in arcades, garden pavilions, tree shades or lawns... Although there are Something doesn't seem right, but thinking about it, I'm actually a little excited!

"Arrogance!" Although she had been thinking so engrossedly just now, Agnes still reacted with scorn at Gawain's vain thoughts. Then she suddenly thought of a question, "Why do you always talk about going west?" Going west, as a member of the pilgrims, shouldn't we escort the entire team and continue to fight towards the Holy City on the agreed date? "

"It's not a conflict, little sunfish." Gawain said with a smile.

Just when Agnes wanted to ask the question, Gawain had no intention of continuing to talk to her - instead he pointed the horse-headed scepter at Alamein in the sea of ​​blood and fire, "Strictly restrain all soldiers who enter the city and do not allow them to enter the city." Looting and massacre.”

However, orders and military commanders soon came one after another to report that the armored cavalry occupying a corner of the castle had looted all buildings, whether warehouses or houses, and killed many people indiscriminately and set many houses on fire. "Send a fast horse to tell Giovanni that if anyone like this behaves like this, he will be executed immediately! Although we are victorious today, the army's violations are endless. After the war, we must strictly rectify it, otherwise if there is a disastrous defeat next time, it will be catastrophic. "Gawain was furious, because in his mind, it was of course possible to annihilate the Kallegos family, but he could not take a destructive stance towards Alamein Castle. , he wanted to revive and expand it and treat it as a barrier and base for the Kingdom of Seleucia. "They are all vicious dogs and wolves raised by Anna. This little girl only knows how to bribe, expand the army, and spend money, but does not pay attention to the army." Codes and training - even if these cavalry are heavily armored and equipped with combat skills, their lack of discipline may not be a big disaster in the future when large armies confront each other. "

After receiving the Grand Duke's order, Giovanni did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the Gimage soldiers and militiamen who also entered the city, rushed to the area where the armored cavalry was concentrated, and arrested the murderers. Many conflicts broke out among the people traveling there, resulting in several civilian army soldiers being killed by the resisting armored cavalry, so the same troops Giovanni was so furious (he had never seen such ferocious and unruly troops on his own since he followed the Grand Duke to conquer the East), and ordered all the civilian soldiers to form a formation with halberds, axes and spears in hand, and "execute in front of the formation" Military discipline!" After killing several people, the remaining personnel were gathered in a small square, with men and horses guarding them.

The military judge continued to be angry, holding up the cavalry regiment roster to find the officers, but found that the commander Walter and the adjutant Gotti were missing. After questioning, he learned that these two men, with dozens of personal followers, had entered the city on their own. Went to the central tower.

"It's really a mess. We can't even find the commander. We've left so many people here to cause trouble and loot." Giovanni was greatly distressed and had a headache, but looking at the central tower where the fierce fighting was still going on, there were constant casualties. The soldier fell down and could only shake his head, "After the battle is over, we will leave it to the Grand Duke to deal with it."

On the tower stairway where flames were flying, Gaia kept charging with blood on his face. His brother Nexus, with his shield and spear, blocked the enemy soldiers in front of him. He stepped forward and smashed the ax in his hand everywhere like raindrops. Falling on each other, the two brothers took turns fighting and covering. There were many corpses at their feet, and they had almost rushed to the room where their father was.

Kicking the wooden door open, Gaia and Nexus panted and saw their white-haired father sitting on a chair in the corner, looking at them calmly. "Very good, you two were the first to attack. Although you two bear the name of Ducas, the princess will always treat you as vicious dogs. She is always worried that you will bite back. Don't forget that the blood flowing in your body is always the blood I gave you. You will not forget it, and she will not forget it either." After the blind old general finished speaking, he stood up in full armor. Next to him was the coffin of his two sons. "You always walk your own way. Maybe you two will be safer and more promising in Seleucia than my other two sons serving under the emperor (Nika doesn't know yet, the two have become food in the belly of the emperor's hounds), but in order to eliminate the princess or Gawain's doubts, I can't help but give you my head. Look, this is your father's last gift to you!" After speaking, the white-haired Nika raised the dagger in his hand and put it on his neck.

But before he could cut it, the third brother Ace. Calegos, who had been hiding in the corner beside the door, suddenly shouted, "Traitor who betrayed the family!" As he spoke, the spear in his hand stabbed straight and horizontally. Nexus, who was caught off guard, was originally staring at his father. Seeing the blade light flying from the side, he hurriedly raised his shield to block it. After the sound, Ace's spear blade slipped and only pierced the shoulder armor of the seventh brother. Immediately, Nexus's laces were pierced and the armor was dragged on his arm. Blood flowed, and he took two steps back and bumped into Gaia beside him. The two leaned against the wall of the tower room at the same time and fell together. Shields and various weapons fell to the ground.

Nika, who heard the fighting, did not drop the dagger. He understood that it was Ace who had just shouted, and now in front of him was Calegos and Calegos killing each other.

Ace looked at his sixth and seventh brothers and hesitated for a moment, but not for long. "If the Calegos family is wiped out here today, then all of us shall die!" Howling, he raised his spear with both hands, aiming at his two brothers by the wall, ready to stab them hard. (To be continued ~^~)
