Chapter 29: Hashish Resin

Kabeamia's head was tilted back slightly, and her beautiful chin shook slightly in front of Guz, making his ** riot like the wind on the banks of the Wallachian River, and his hand holding the shoulders of the female consul was in prostration, this slightly dark beauty, "Why do you want to revive the Republic of Tevris, immediately you will marry me as a duchess, defeat the enemy you said Gawain, and then enter the castle of Belgrade, rule with me over a large area of grasslands and forests, and give birth to many, many children for my Derjian family." ”

At this time, Kabeamia's face slowly lifted up, her beautiful eyes looked at the Duke of Belgrade who was trembling in a commotion, and then said in a very ambiguous tone, "Give birth to a child, of course I am willing to give birth to a child for Your Excellency", her hand warmly held Guz's neck, and then touched it upward, Guzi was like an electric power, and she almost didn't have to continue.

"Kiss me, kiss my lips, and my body, and come to declare your love for me to the white, good and bright Lord." The consul half-drooped her face and eyelashes, and in a very feminine commanding tone, said that it was the kind of "command" that men loved—which made Guz lose his soul, and he opened his hyena-like mouth like a whimper, and pecked at Kabeamia.

Outside, Romanus secretly lifted the curtain, holding the bleating lamb, staring at curious and obscene eyes, ready to watch this scene, and was satisfied, he really did not look like the "emperor's son", but like a brothel handyman.

Suddenly, Kabeamia's fingers slid sharply into Guz's mouth, and at some point, her fingers caught something the size and shape of a silkworm chrysalis. Shoved it into Guz's mouth, then quickly flipped his hand. Forcibly closing Guz's jaws, the chrysalis of silkworm chrysalis instantly chewed inside the exiled duke's tongue and teeth. The sticky liquid bursts out!

"Ahh Romanus sat down in fright, and he saw Guz with his back to him, twitching and making a sound that seemed to be crying rather than laughing, as if possessed by the devil, and in the eyes of the cold Cabeamia, the eyes of this one were spinning rapidly, like bats in two caves, "You fool." It is inevitable that Gawain will be defeated! Then Kabeamia shoved Guz to the ground, lifted his robe, pulled out his dagger, ripped open the collar with a "stab" sound, exposed the carcass of his neck and shoulders, cried out twice, and then dropped the knife and stabbed it on the churning Guz's neck.

Blood shoots out in strands. It flew to Kabeamia's cold face, but she still didn't stop, and calmly poked through Guz's vital parts one by one. It seems that there is a great deal of resentment. Then she wore her hair loose, her collar open, and her dagger. Smiled and walked over to the already frightened Romanus, "Cub. You're here to see the play, aren't you? Now I'll give you a chance to become an actor who dances for the evil gods. Then the consul spoke in a dignified tone. Eat this chrysalis with 'hashish resin' in it, too! ”

Romanus was so frightened by the bloody dagger and Cabeamia's demeanor that he didn't dare to think about it, so he swallowed the chrysalis shell, and then he cried and laughed on the ground, rolled into a ball, and then went berserk, picked up the lamb and pressed it down.

When the slaves and attendants of the Cuman Khan, hearing the screams of Kabeamia, rushed out of the tent, they saw her stumbling and unclothed, and ran out crying, and then fell to their knees in front of several attendants, begging for help from the Khan and a just ruling.

"Guz. Durjian still persisted in his bad habits during the period of his escape, and dared to try to rape the respected female consul of the Tevris Republic in the royal court of King Ben Khan, but fortunately the female consul was helped by her white god, and the other party descended on her companion, Romanus, the widow of the former emperor, so that he had the courage to take up the dagger and slash this mongrel rapist. Yasin Khan, who learned the "truth", was furious, and immediately pronounced the following sentence to everyone, and the Wallachian bandits hired by the dead ghost Guz were also sentenced to be crushed to death by wheels, "From now on, the region of Belgrade, I declare my right to inherit it, and make another war against the Emperor of Constantinople!" ”

But at this time, Romanus also received a nickname in the camp of the entire Cuman royal court, "Epimedium". It was a grotesque act witnessed by seven or eight people, but fortunately there were many shepherds in the Cuman tribe who secretly did such things, and the people who believed in primitive religions always responded with a generous attitude towards this kind of closeness to nature, and some people even said that it was because Romanus had inherited the spirit of God and his body could not stand it, so he did such things uncontrollably.

Only poor Romanus himself understood that the reason why he was so had something to do with the liquid that Cabeamia had forced him to drink, and once he drank it, he suddenly had the illusion of a rapid spin, as if he were shuttling between different dreams, and regarded the lamb as a beautiful woman with a jade body, and immediately had no will to make such a shameful mistake.

When the King of Khan announced that he would officially go out on the next auspicious day, Kabeamiya was relieved, and in the middle of the moon, she secretly came out, weeping and holding the grass on the bank of the river, she was tired of being frightened of such a life, but the duty of the saint still drove her to continue to grit her teeth. According to the agreement, she had to go at the same time to the densely populated estuary of the Danube, where the Black Sea entered, and to agitate the believers there to rise up - Cuman Khan marched from the north bank, and her troops followed the south bank of the Morava River to attack the Iron Gate fort garrisoned by Gawain - and after success, she went deep into the area around Constantinople and planned great things!

As a sign of sincerity in the alliance, Cuman Khan Yasin also gave her a thousand warriors armed with bows and arrows to serve as a ranged force for the future Cultist Legion: it is known that the most lacking of the Pauline Believers is archers, which is an important reason why she was defeated by Alexios at Fort Philip.

"Now I won't continue to lose to you, and unfortunate fate won't follow me, Stephen. Gawain! ”

"Ho ho ho!" On the fort field under the Iron Gate Fort, two squadrons of mounted spears composed of Lombards and Magyars, on horseback, men and horses in leather armor, face to face and face to face and face to face, and then staggered, stabbing each other with round-headed spears. Over there, under the command of Giovanni, columns of Greek infantry were forming with shields and spears, learning to march collectively under the command of drums and flags to stabilize the spear forest, and also to learn to charge in formation, and to coordinate between the various squadrons and columns, in order to fight the enemy's infantry more efficiently.

The duty of teaching Italian veterans and Lombard infantry undoubtedly fell to the new Pirel, the elite and sharp edge of Gawain's army, and the power of the Greek infantry to defeat the enemy's central core with the cavalry after entangled in the enemy's position.

"The army must be more elite and organized in order to confront a strong enemy in the future! Especially in the infantry company, each column has a small flag, each squadron has a trumpet, and the commander's drum and big flag must not be confused. Each soldier must learn to distinguish between the left and right hands, the left and right legs, the front and the back of the heart. Fight as calmly as a lion, attack as decisively as an eagle, lie down as calm as a python, and skirmish as cunning as a fox. Judge Giovanni worked very hard, constantly emphasizing these orders, and column after column of Greek infantry, according to his instructions, according to the prescribed posture, held their spears, and marched forward and stabbed step by step. The honorable soldiers at the forefront of them, who had already donned the armor of the former Za'tar Guard, were now trained to be more confident, and some had been trained by Billel and Bramson with their two-handed halberds, axes, and swords and shields, enough to be used as elite skirmishers.

The trade route on the west side of the fort, which led to Niš, and along the Dalmatian region, connected Za'tar and Bari, was a new lifeline, and a small number of merchants from Venice, Bari, and Amalfi were the ones that walked, and each small caravan was guarded by five or ten brocade brotherhoods with horses and armor (their ranks were expanded), and the bandits of the Sava and other places did not dare to come and make a mistake when they saw soldiers in their red-handed cross-sword robes and banners.

This time, a detachment of mules and horses was particularly strictly guarded, and in addition to the thirty Brotherhood warriors who had arrived from Bari, Gawain sent a hundred cavalry companies to meet them to the west, and when they entered the first and second gates of the Iron Gate Fort unharmed, they opened the boxes and boxes, and laid them in linen, full of fine and shiny armor.

According to the prior requirements, all of this batch of armor were loaded separately according to sets, there were chain mail woven with iron rings, armor attached to linen, and some ring armor, but none of them were worn by people, "they are horse armor." ”

The so-called horse armor is not considered full-body, it is just a halter and a hanging gear in front, which can resist the enemy's flying arrows and spears in the front, but this is already a bloody cost for Gawain, all ordered from the Po River and Milan armor workshops under the Duchess of Matilda, a total of one hundred and fifty sets, which are to be used on the elite of the baptized cavalry company, "This autumn, the key to gaining a foothold in the Iron Gate Fort and being ready to go to Constantinople at any time is all pinned on these guys!" ”

The autumn wind is rising, the grass is growing, and at the mouth of the vast Danube River to the mouth of the Black Sea in Yukchen, there is a very lively black market, Kabeamia, who is riding a horse and wearing a cloak, is bargaining with a dark-skinned merchant from India, and finally sells for thirty silver coins of Seriqua, "This is a new hallucinogen, much more powerful than the kind of hashish of the lord of the mountains, I will not sell it to ordinary people, noble and lovely girl." The Indian merchant assured Kabeamia in a stiff Greek language. (To be continued.) )
