The night in Bursa was dark, there were no waves outside the harbor, and the fleet of Cilicia was quietly anchored at sea.

From the town hall to the port, there were Armenian warriors along the way, and 2,000 men were stationed and guarded along the road.

It was not that the emperor did not want to protect the Grand Duke, but that the Roma army was on the offensive and the imperial army was unable to spare valuable forces.

Archduke Ruben and Prince Leon decided to return home.

The Armenians were quite satisfied with the strength of the Imperial Army, and the Pact would be implemented quickly.

In the battle against the Seljuks, even after losing the paladazions, the Imperial army remained resilient and not weak.

In the opinion of Prince Leon, the hussars of the imperial army were worth learning from the Armenian knights.

This was a force not inferior to the Imperial Paladins, and the Romans were still strong.

Bravery, tenacity, sacrifice, honor, the prince did not hesitate to offer the words of praise.

Cilicia also needed one such army, which they had followed the example of the Crusaders.

But now it's time to ask the Imperial Army for advice!

In the face of an increasingly powerful offensive by the Turks, it's time for a change!

Town Hall, where the emperor sends off the Grand Duke and the Prince, which are his important allies.

The accession of the Armenians is pivotal and will determine the scales in Anatolia.

Antioch, Jerusalem, and now Cilicia.

The Catholics of the East threw themselves into the arms of the Empire, much to the delight of the Emperor.

The bitterness of the bloody battle during the day has also dissipated a lot.

Arslan is cunning, but he is a lone wolf, while the Empire is the commander of the lions.

The Seljuk's rule was so fragmented that Syria's descendants had long since fallen, and Kerman's siblings were on the verge of death.

Arslan will be the last descendant of the Seljuks!

Alexios muttered silently, the strong enemy is isolated, the empire is prosperous, this is the time change.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Royal Highness!"

"As long as Cilicia does not turn its back, the promise of the Empire will always be valid!"

"The Armenians will never betray their allies, the empire is in trouble, we will not wait and see!"

The Supreme of the Empire and the prince of Armenia looked at each other eagerly, and the two shook hands and exchanged joy, tightly intertwined.

"Let's not talk about it, Grand Duke Reuben is still outside, it's time to return!"

The Emperor led the crowd, and the Imperial soldiers opened the way on either side, connecting with the Armenian defenders, and stretched forward.

The streets were covered with bright armor, and the samurai stood straight with no end in sight.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Reuben held the coffin outside, standing quietly, silently waiting, this last solemn moment.

The two golden coffins were neatly arranged, the red lion flag was draped, and seven sturdy Armenians carried it.

The golden coffin of Grand Duke Leon I is still missing one person, who is it? The nobles of Armenia were slightly puzzled.

Alexios nodded slightly at Ruben, and the Grand Duke was also understanding, making eye contact, and was silent.

The Emperor walked to the golden coffin and slowly lifted it.

On the side, the Armenian nobles were all stunned.

Many of the Armenians who accompanied him disagreed and thought it was inappropriate.

The deep enmity between the two countries has not been resolved for 40 years, until today.

"Let's go!"

The emperor gave the order to drink, and the wrestlers marched together towards the port.

Armenians wept profusely.

The empire was once friendly with Armenia, and the great imperial supreme was the protector of Armenia.

The relationship between the two countries is unbreakable, the Romans think so, and so do the Armenians.

Until the iron hooves of the aliens rolled in, and the Armenians were displaced.

The Byzantine emperor did not lend a hand!

Instead, they fell into the lower stone!

The former friendship has turned to dust, and the empire has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Armenians!

But today, Alexios carries out salvation, both for the empire and for the Armenians.

Walking in the coffin, a long road, mourning and longing, solemn, sacred mission.

The Imperial Supreme bowed his knees, and the Armenians shed tears.

Both Ruben and Leon were impressed by the Emperor's boldness, and this man could be trusted.

At the end of 1181 AD, the empire concluded an alliance with Armenia again.

……

……

……

The next day, roaring like thunder, the Turks attacked the city again.

At the head of the city, the emperor stood.

The city was silent, and countless warriors looked up, waiting for a declaration.

"Yesterday the Roma army was repulsed by us!"

"Today, they're here again!"

"In this world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, to survive, to be dignified, the only way is to fight!"

"We have no mercy on the weak, because we are the Empire!"

"I came to this world to lead you, Imperial soldiers, to conquer and witness."

"The Romans will not give in!"

"Hooray!"

The cheers were like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army all raised their arms and shouted.

"Today, we will continue to fight until dawn!"

Under the city, the tide of Roma troops poured in, densely, innumerable, and endless.

……

……

……

In the imperial capital of Constantinople, Betak is reviewing documents.

The outbreak of war was very sudden, and the new governor was ordered to change the route of the imperial capital.

The Empire's war machine is in motion.

Soldiers from the imperial capital, Greece, and Bulgaria were gathered, even if they had just left the battlefield.

The Varangian Guard, the Second Legion, and the Fourth Legion of the Imperial Army were all recruited.

These warriors will take to the battlefields of Anatolia and enter the eastern provinces of the empire to engage the Turkic cavalry.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open heavily, and the people who came were menacing, and Bertak was as indifferent as water.

"Beta!"

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"When will the troops be moved?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is fighting in Anatolia!"

"The Imperial Army needs to be thrown into battle immediately!"

"We can't wait any longer!"

Stopping, Bertak looked up at the man.

General Khayyam of the Imperial Army, a close confidant of the Emperor and now the most prominent military man in the Empire, is not one of them.

"Let's go, then!"

Khayyam froze, and Betak agreed?

"Yes, the Imperial Army is ready to go into battle!"

"Really?"

This was the third time that Khayyam had come, and Betak had always rejected him, citing the lack of preparation of the Imperial army.

"Whether it's a giant trebuchet, a Greek fire, stored grain, or winter clothing, it's all ready!"

"The Imperial Army can fight with the barbarians in the East until the beginning of spring next year!"

Betak crossed his hands and quietly looked at the Imperial General in front of him.

Here's his response!

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

"Me!"

Khayyam was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"My lord, are you satisfied?"

"Yes!"

"Very satisfied!"

"Let's go, then!"

"The naval warships of the Imperial Army are already waiting for you!"

……

The Aegean Sea breeze is slightly cold, the warships gallop across the sea, and the waves surge.

Hundreds of Pamperon ships carrying tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Imperial Army sailed on the sea to the east.

Atop the battleship, the Varangian Guards sang a ballad and remembered the bravery of Thor, the god of thunder.

The Imperial Army will once again go into battle until death!
