However, Theognes bowed his head directly and replied to Gawain in his seat, "But you deceived His Royal Highness the prince and seized Alalmanburg before, so that everyone will be even." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What......" Gawain looked at the rightfully dressed guard opposite with an incredible look, and his heart was angry and funny, such words may be something that Diognis can say directly.

After a while, Gawain threw the letter on the small table beside him, and then stood up, "The supplies of our army have arrived, and it is completely possible to advance and attack the back of Merrick's formation." Please go back and report my intention to General Tetitius, and in three or four days I will command twelve thousand five hundred soldiers to meet him in a decisive battle with Merrick, and in this time I will ask General Tetisius to join Conrad and Guillaume and arrange a strong camp along the city of Anglas, and not rashly go into battle. When I arrived, I would use the beacon fire as a signal to defeat Danishmond on both sides, and if Merrick was far away, he would pursue him quickly. ”

"Yes, thanks!" The guard officer looked at Gao Wen, who was already wearing a mustache in front of him, and couldn't help but burst into tears, no matter what, whenever there was a moment of crisis, the only one who could really rely on was this Varyag barbarian, even if he was arrogant, ambitious, and a restless dangerous element, but at the same time he was also a general and businessman who kept his contract.

"Don't rush to go." Gawain turned around, his tone became gentle, he stretched out his hand, and the guard saw the dishes on another small table, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" The valley is still very rich in herds, with fat lamb, olive oil tossed with kale, and good bottles of vermouth, to eat and eat before you go—and my squire has prepared plenty of forage for your horses. ”

So the catcher was not polite, after all, he and Gawain were old rain, so he walked straight to the table: after learning of the arrival of Diognis, Gawain thought very carefully, although the Mutt Valley in Seleucia had promoted pig breeding, even if the catcher himself was an Imperial Orthodox believer, but considering his mother's identity, Gawain still replaced the plate with pieces of mutton with thin iron pestles, as well as a blue glass wine cup. The warden was very satisfied, so he sat down at the table, and ate and drank with his hands, and the meat and wine were delicious, and he gradually felt that his stomach and belly began to warm up, and his mood was much calmer and lighter.

Gawain stood to the side and asked, "Is Gu Siyun okay?" ”

The guard over there was stunned, then nodded.

"Bohemond has become the lord of Antioch, Gusyun's brother Tancred will also seal the territory of the Holy Land in the future, I have become the patron of the lord, and Anna has become the Caesar of Tarsus. Everyone set sail from Italy, and now the situation is different. Gawain sighed a little, but the semantics he implied could still be understood by Theognes, that is, "Even if you are still a small earl commander, the so-called garrison area under your former jurisdiction no longer exists, so why bother." ”

Diognis smiled wryly, and then stuffed a piece of roast lamb into his stubble-covered mouth and chewed it, not matching Gawain's words.

"Diognis, how about following me? In the future, I will give you a border fortress to pacify, and your talent is enough to command tens of millions of soldiers. Suddenly, it seemed inevitable, and Gawain said this, "The prince reuses you, but he values your ability to walk......"

"I've eaten well, thank you for your hospitality." Theognes raised the glass and drank it to its fullness, then slammed it on the table, stood up with a scarf in his hand, and took the iron flail, interrupting Gawain's questioning.

"You've never changed, you'll always think you're a guy who can get away with a new pair of boots." Gawain stared at the captor.

Diognis was not agitated, he wrapped his scarf and covered it with the shepherd's old robes, "You have not changed in the slightest, and you have always taken pleasure in subverting the divine order, like a demon from Hellfire. ”

"Yes, I have recognized my own face and duty, and my fire will cleanse this empire and change the old sun, moon and stars, but what about you? Keep the nightmare? Gawain cross-examined.

But the guard retreated to the entrance of the tent and said goodbye, "Because it is here, I will not hear your words of rebellion, and if it is on the battlefield of a duel, I will not hesitate to smash your skull full of rebellious bones with a flail." ”

"But if I catch you, for Gu Siyun's sake, I will still forgive you."

"If you dare to be kind, please ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess on my behalf, and also bless the Holy Mother in her womb." The captor then turned and took his leave.

Looking at his back, Gawain commented in a low voice, "It's even more stubborn than the purest Roman nobles, others are in blood and status, he is spiritual, others are verbal, he is in his bones." Prepare your own food and go to various battlefields, and rush and fight against the windmills. ”

At this moment, Walter and Giovanni, who were in the curtain behind them, walked out, "Great Lord Guarantor, how to go about the next step of military planning?" ”

"I must keep my promise to the fool of Theognes, and march out of camp to-morrow. Giovanni, your new task is to go to the city of Konya to supervise and assist Billel, Hajib, and the Holy Sister against Ibn Ibn. Maimun continued to besiege the enemy, preventing them from breaking through or making contact with the castle of Anglas or Merrick; Walter, you commanded the armored cavalry regiment and accompanied me in battle. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The two commanders replied.

The next day, when the sun had just nodded from the other side of the mountain, the whole Kale Valley was boiling, and Gawain left behind the border army and the Jinat cavalry to sweep away the remnants of the Turkic resistance in the Naszar-Kayseri zone, and he drove out of the valley with the Red Hand Brigade, the Guardian Brigade, the Red Hand Cavalry, the Mounted Cavalry, and the Greiners, and two hundred pack horse wagons, guarded by the scout cavalry.

The whole team was divided into three divisions: the front, the middle and the rear, the front was the Defenders Brigade of Branas, the middle was the Red Hand Brigade led by Merlotus, and the cavalry and pyrophers of Gawain escorted the baggage convoy in the center, many of which were tightly sealed with box boards, and the guards carrying halberds accompanied the sides, not allowing idle people to approach.

When the catcher, tired again, brought the good news to the camp under Fort Anglas (Ankara), Tetisius, Conrad, and Guillaume breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone felt a sense of relief.

Then Tetisius decisively ordered to select some of the pilgrims who had regained their courage and confidence, enter the besieged camp, and continue to besiege Anglas with some soldiers of the new army, while the rest of the men built a double wooden fence along the perimeter of the camp, and stationed the elite infantry in it, facing the direction of Merrick's army camp.

Merrick sent cavalry one after another, and launched several surprise attacks while the double gate of Tetisius was not yet completed, but they were all repulsed by Diognes and the Count of Blois, and the great emir began to have nothing to do, and when he learned that Gawain's team was rushing towards his flank, he couldn't help but fall into hesitation and passivity.
