"The main reason is that there is a big problem with the length design of the ladder this time, and it can't be connected to the buttress of the other curtain wall at all. Otherwise, we would have attacked and seized this section and planted the red hand flag. At this moment, Biller became angry, he stood up and waved his fist, his eyes fiercely stared at Agnes, who was holding a food plate to "feed" the giant, and the little sunfish, who had always been proud of himself in the ranks, also lowered his eyes and gray hair, and did not make any argument to the "wild boar in armor" from Lombardy.

Later, many flag officers of the detachment also followed the rhythm of Birel and stood up to summarize and reflect on the problems existing in the siege: the range of the catapult was not far, and even if it reached under the cover of the wooden canopy, it could only hit the curtain wall, and could not pose a threat to the defenders on the battle road and the tower; The power of the stone thrower and the cross ballista is too small to break down the protection of the city curtain wall and so on.

All in all, the momentum and resentment are all directed against Agnes, and now another engineer, Samuelfa, is concentrated in charge of the Ordnance Division, so the siege equipment on the front line is all in charge of the little sunfish.

"Enough!" Just as Agnes bit her lip and was about to explain, Gawain patted the handrail and stopped everyone sternly, "Grand Duke Ben said before that now is the most difficult time, not to mention that Nika is not an ordinary general, he secretly increased the city wall on the eve of the general attack, causing all the ladders we made in advance to fail, if we take responsibility, it should be the Grand Duke's strength"

The northerly winds from the Anatolian plateau, though cut off by the long mountains, gave the besieging soldiers a chill, and a thin layer of frost and snow fell silently, covering the hills and jungles around Alalmanburg, and also falling in the besieging camps. Soldiers lit bonfires everywhere to keep warm. In the scarlet tent, Agnes sat on the small chair opposite Gawain, "I'm sorry"

"Don't keep thinking about apologizing, little sunfish, cheer up. Anna is overseeing the construction of the Great Hospital, and we are here to attack Alalmanburg with all our might," she said. Gawain's tone became heavy, and he took the opened letter and handed it to the little sunfish, "This is a gift from Prince John of the Empire, and it says that he has a woman who is very important to me, and the wife of Merlot, the head of the camp. ”

Agnes unfolded and looked, "So it's her?" With that, Agnes' eyes caught a glimpse of the silk sac hanging from Gawain's belt. The one that had hung from his neck, but had moved to the other side, was filled with blond hair, and according to Anna and the barracks, was the widow of Mesadeni, the richest man in Corinth, who was known to Anna and the first woman Gawain had since his arrival in the Roman Empire.

Anna had been concerned about this for a long time, although she had never met her.

According to the Prince's letter: The Honourable Madame Mesadini and Madame Merlot are in my castle. They were hospitalized, but now there are constant border frictions and clashes between the two sides. Therefore, I will send the two ladies directly to the Grand Duke, and not to my sister, because I will never use the character of a woman to blackmail, but I still hope to put an end to the scourge of war, and to give an account to my father, who put down the rebellion in Macedonia. and to maintain a friendly relationship between the Empire and the pilgrims—so that, from the date of receipt of the letter, His Excellency the Grand Duke shall cease his attacks on the castles of El Alaman and Mutt, the latter of which shall be given to you, provided that you promise not to harm the rebellious nobles who leave the city. And the five brothers of Callegos, who had been captured, were returned safely to Alalmanburg, and I sent them to Seleucia by ship, and I did not break my promise.

After that, within a year, the two sides were friendly and trade-loving, and I concentrated on the remnants of Konya, and Your Excellency and other pilgrims entered the Holy Land.

The fourteen-year-old Prince John was very calm and polite, but now that Agnes had finished reading the letter, she felt that the biggest problem was Anna.

At this time, Gawain slowly half-knelt down in front of her, his hand on his knee, "Little sunfish, I can't lose Ingrina, she abandoned everything that came to me; But I didn't want to anger Anna, and I was afraid that if Anna knew about her brother's letter, she would secretly kill Ingrid. ”

"How dare you say this to me? You know, I'm definitely on Her Royal Highness's side. Agnes avoided the other's blue eyes and laughed awkwardly.

"Everybody's on the same boat, it's nothing more than a position, right?" Agnes let out a low cry of surprise, because Gawain kicked his nose directly in the face, and after saying this, he actually directly covered his hands with his big hands, and his tone was soothing and sincere.

"Let it go!" The little sunfish shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help it.

"Yes, okay." Gawain raised his eyebrows, made an apologetic look, made a gesture to quiet down, and then broke away from Agnes's hands, "Then you are going to secretly release the Callegos brothers?" It is to shut my mouth, negotiate with Nika and Prince John on my own, and then slash and then slash, and force the princess to submit as before. ”

"No, I'm just telling you beforehand, because in my eyes, you are Anna's dearest friend, that is, my friend. Immediately, you and I will go to Her Royal Highness with this letter to Her Royal Highness, and I will make it clear to her face that Gawain will never back down. With a second exclamation, Gawain unconsciously pressed the soft knee on which Agnes was bent and sitting, his tone was sincere, and his eyes were gentle. In the eyes of the little sunfish, it was like a brown bear with honey and hara at the corners of its head and mouth, and it was picking at her, flicking her red tongue, so frightened that she raised her knees, bent her elbows, and shrunk into the chair.

Gawain raised his hands again and said "love?&peace".

"Okay, I'll go with you." The little sunfish then said that he could understand Gao Wen's remarks, but he could not agree with Gao Wen's behavior, which was a serious insult to the identity of the princess in purple and violated Orthodox ethics.

Gawain only smiled wryly.

At this time, the large hospital has begun the process of plastering the inner and outer layers of the building, and its huge figure and the people who climb up and down the scaffolding that covers it are particularly eye-catching between the gray sea and the white snowfall. On the northern platform, the workers have also begun to build the foundation, and in Anna's temporary mansion next to the Akum Bazaar, the princess in purple placed the blueprint paper scroll of the academy on the small table, and looked at Gawain and the little sunfish who had rushed back from the front line with some surprise.

And the camper, Visat, who was prostrating himself on the floor with tears in his eyes. Merlot.

Then, Agnes lowered her eyes and handed the letter to Anna, Anna hurriedly took it over and read it, and then her brown eyes flashed, and Gawain was about to kneel down to explain, but the words of the purple-clothed princess surprised everyone, "It's okay, in the future, you can just call my imperial ink officer Agnes to handle this kind of thing, the front-line military plane is nervous, you and Merlot are both core figures at the commander level, there is no need to report anything to me, it will not be good to delay things."
