"Ahem, cough, ahem!"

The sound of decaying death emanated from the curtains, and the rotting arms hung against the soft pillows. Ｘ

No one could recognize this man who seemed to be dying, the king of Jerusalem who led a few hundred cavalry to defeat Saladin.

"I seem to hear the roar of the lion of the West......"

"That Anjou kid must already be on his way, right?"

No one dared not answer the king's questions, but the throne was quiet, and it was a long time before a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, Prince Richard has arrived in Constantinople, the imperial capital of the Roman Empire."

"Oh, that's it!"

Baldwin felt a pain in his chest, and the decision of Emperor Alexios made him angry, but the torture of illness had begun to slowly drag him into the abyss.

The once heroic knight king is already a dying man who needs the support of his attendants even to walk.

The Leper knew very well that once he died, the kingdom would slide inexorably into the abyss, as long as Guy and Rennald remained.

Despite the plight of their own monarch's health, the Knights Templar, who insisted on provoking a war against Saladin, were also complicit in them.

No one sympathized with the king of Jerusalem, nor did anyone care what the departing king himself thought, no, perhaps, but the boy was still far to the north.

"Aleppo has been completely suppressed?"

"Your Majesty, Saladin's speed is too fast, we are not enough to react!"

After the Sultan of Egypt bribed the defenders with money to force them to leave the Syrian town, it was not that no one resisted, but Saladin sent his brother Safatdin to control the situation with overwhelming superiority.

The Holy Land was too late to hear from the news, and even the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller were debating whether or not to reinforce the infidels.

Saladin didn't leave any flaws at all, and he turned the tide in just one fell swoop.

Everyone was dumbfounded when the dust settled, but unlike the Knights Templar, who wanted to blackmail the king with troops to gain more power, the Knights Hospitaller were secretly worried about the future of the kingdom.

"Shameful Guy, I personally promoted him and gave him land and rights, but he turned against me in the Supreme Chamber."

The king hated and scolded the shameless Guy, and he didn't know why Sister Wang fell in love with such a man.

Although Princess Sibylla tried her best to encourage Baldwin to reuse him, the king of Jerusalem now understood that Guy of Lusignan was a complete fool, and he did not even know that he was being used by Renard of Shatillon.

"If he is asked to assist Baldwin Jr. in the future, it will be too dangerous, Guy and Renald will not be at peace!"

Raymond, the Earl of Tripoli, is not denigrating these two men, but they have done a lot of stupid things because they can't see the situation, and they will continue to make various efforts to destroy this kingdom faster.

It is true that Raymond had his own personal selfish intention to oppose the marriage of Princess Sibylla to the prodigal son of the Lusignan family, but he was indeed right in his eyes.

The kingdom's army suffered a heavy defeat at the Battle of Springwater Valley, and the Grand Master of the Knights Templar at the time was most responsible for attacking without heeding orders, even if they fought valiantly in the end.

It wasn't Baldwin who paid to redeem these knights who were so bent on killing and killing.

After the Battle of Harim, the kingdom lost control of the open seas, and the shrinking trade made Raynald of Shatilon think of Saladin's goods.

As a result, the first siege of Caleborg, the fool was surrounded by the 80,000-strong army of the Lord of Egypt, and it was only thanks to Baldwin's strong and sick body that he talked to Saladin to persuade the eager infidels.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Saladin doesn't want to fight Jerusalem so soon, he is waiting, waiting for the one who makes him jealous to die, and that person is also the last king who can unite the hearts of the people in the Holy Land.

The king spoke to the lord of Egypt as follows: "Your Excellency, leave this matter to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

The pagan Sword of True Dwelling responded: "What if I don't agree? ”

At swords' points!

Baldwin's opponent had 80,000 soldiers, a powerful force that could wipe out the entire Eastern Mediterranean, and the kingdom's chances of victory were slim.

And against the elite of the Heavenly Dynasty, who only had less than 30,000, the golden True Cross and the only king who dared to talk to the pagan monarch were their last sustenance.

"How about I drag you to hell before I die?"

The leper king, who was at a disadvantage, did not have stage fright at all, but made Saladin speechless.

When the wind and sand blew in front of the two kings, and everyone almost thought that Saladin would not be able to resist the battle, the lord of Egypt turned around and left.

The kingdom has been turned around!

However, King Baldwin's condition worsened, and he began to lose sight and his body was already decomposing in many places.

"My life is coming to an end......"

"The King's ......"

Raymond in Tripoli was once a faithful assistant to the Leper King, yes, once a loyal assistant.

But now the regent of the kingdom had to find another way out, and the pagan lord handed him an olive branch, but he did not intend to tell the king.

Ray of Lucy and Ray of Châtilon were already a great threat to him, and Raymond could not believe that he would be pardoned by these two thugs in the future of the king's death.

"The Roman Emperor got us a foreign aid?"

"Well, His Majesty Emperor Alexios means, Prince Richard's excellent military strategy can take on the heavy responsibility of defending Jaffa!"

Hearing this, Baldwin's hideous and terrifying face was distorted, Jaffa was the territory he had given to Guy, and the meaning of the Emperor's words could not be clearer.

Find a new protector for the Holy Land!

This is the supreme of the Eastern Empire shouting to the king of Jerusalem in the air.

"The Roman Emperor was interfering in the internal affairs of the kingdom ......"

The leper king was in a bad mood, and no matter how bad Guy was, it was not the emperor's turn to point fingers.

"But Your Majesty, we need the support of Constantinople, and Jerusalem needs the support of the Roman Empire!"

The Count of Tripoli also felt bitter in his heart, and the emperor also arranged for him to have an heir, Renard, son of Bosimund, Duke of Antioch. (This is the original history)

"Antioch, Cilicia, Tripoli, have they come to Jerusalem?"

The Crusader states were almost all under the control of the Roman Emperor.

Even the Leper King was trembling by the Emperor's tyranny, but he had begun to lose control of the kingdom and could only watch Alexios extend his hand into his own country.

If the king of Jerusalem had rejected the emperor's wishes, the Holy Land would no longer have received any support from Constantinople.

"Go and greet the prince for me, if he is indeed up to the task of defending the kingdom......"

Baldwin was originally scheduled to remove Guy's title and domain again next year,
