If it had been before, Gawain would not have been able to make up his mind when he touched such a walled city, so when he was in Calabria, he mostly wandered around the towns and villages, instigating the Greek people and nobles to set off a rebellion to create trouble for the Normans, and the well-fortified walls would not be hard to deal with - Gawain certainly knew the famous words of his ancestor Sun Wu, "Ten rules to besiege it", "The method of siege is to possess it as a last resort, and kill one-third of the soldiers", not to mention the military horses he now has, If you confront the Normans head-on, I am afraid that you will not be able to surround them even ten times, and in Aversa, he has surrounded a dozen Norman knights in the castle with hundreds of people.

But now it was different, although Gawain returned the captured noblewomen and monks to Bohemond according to Cigna, but the hundreds of carpenters and stonemen who had been working in Aversa were all taken captive by him and marched towards the city of Bari.

These men were the most precious in the Middle Ages, even more important than the soldiers, and soon Gawain ordered them to form separate companies with Caesar's private slaves, cut down wood and grindstones, and erect several projectiles outside the walls of Bari, and then the patriarchs of the parish of Bari came forward to discuss the dedication of the city.

The leader was a half-bald, bearded, very high-status named Anselm, originally from Canterbury Cathedral in England, the bishop of Yorkshire, specially appointed by Pope Urban to "rectify the diocese", to put it bluntly, to exclude the power of the Greek Orthodox Church in this place. The parish and the faithful were called to adopt the religious rites of the city of Rome.

"I want to visit the cemetery and church of St. Nicholas." This is Gawain's request, and in fact, it is also a request to control the authority of the entire city of Bari.

Anselm, helpless, and many Catholic priests, holding crosses and lining up in a procession, led the Red Hand Giant through the city square, during which it was naturally indispensable to welcome the Greek citizens who laid flowers.

Honestly. Although the tax collectors of Byzantium Rome were often cruel and unkind, the inhabitants of Italy had a desire for Constantinople to some extent, and Gawain was able to successfully instigate a rebellion in Calabria, and now the city of Bari is eating pot pulp, all of which are true: the inhabitants still agree in their hearts to admire the civilization and wealth of Constantinople, which is as large as a lighthouse, and do not want to admit that the Normans from the wilderness are dominant.

In front of the white magnificent St. Nicholas Cathedral, Gawain dismounted, and Muzafiadin stood in front of the door holding the battle flag of the Dalian team. The rest of the guards stood solemnly on the steps.

When he was inside, Gawain turned and said politely to Anselm, "Your Excellency, please officiate at a harmonious wedding for my men." A Roman border guard, and a Norman aristocratic girl from Aversa. ”

Anselm looked at the blue-eyed beautiful nobleman, and didn't know what he was doing, so he could only ask the servants to bring the holy table. The unleavened bread, salt, and wine were laid out, and Gawain called Theognes and Gustyun forward. Among them, the Norman girl was holding a makeshift flower.

"Girl Gusyun, fifteen-year-old girl, you have proved your family's lineage with your bravery and nobility in Avelsa . However, in our Roman Empire, it is said that there is a custom that when a warrior has taken away your body and mind, then you should take the initiative to pursue yourself as his wife. Just right. The Governor Theognes has no wife or children, so do the will of God and be united to him as a family, and in this holy temple of happy angels, I am the Archduke of Calabria and the acting consul of the Viceroyalty of Bari. will witness all this for yourself. Gawain angrily crossed his waist with one hand, waved with one hand, and began to support directly in front of Anselm, who was stunned and holding the ritual weapon, and the poor Bishop of Barry had no idea what the barbarian general was talking about, but he did not dare to refute it, and could only squeeze helpless glances with a group of priests on the side.

"He has taken my body captive, but my heart is shaken, Your Excellency." The girl holding the flowers in front of her said with a little embarrassment.

"You are very honest, but the Lord has said that a woman is born to serve men and raise children, and she and men should not talk about feelings, but more about responsibility, and the Lord's famous words want you to remember, and that is—over time, you will understand sooner or later how wonderful it is to entrust your heart to the hands of a reliable man, and to beat with his heart." The self-proclaimed Grand Duke continued to talk nonsense.

"Yes, I'll try." Gu Siyun nodded frequently, almost stunned Anselm and her "new husband".

"You and Diognis will be happy, he is a man who is faithful to his duty, and his parents were united in the same way. This is my wedding gift to you. Gawain continued to talk to himself, and the guards next to him protested against when he had become the acting consul of the Viceroyalty of Bari, but Gawain ignored him, and took out ten cylinders of fine Corinthian silk and three hundred silver coins, and then he went half a circle, and brought the silver candlesticks from St. Nicholas's Cathedral, and gave them to the couple.

"I'm sorry, I can't partake of this communion, it's unfermented." Theognes walked over to the table and said disgruntledly.

"My husband and I have a rift now, and I'm going to get it." Gu Siyun complained about Gao Wen's complaint again.

"Listen to your wife, man!" Gawain solemnly and instantly ordered the arbitration.

Gawain then summoned Anderodat and told him to lead the newcomer into the lodging quarters in the back courtyard to continue the "God-permitted love", and when Anderaudat walked back again, he was pulled by his master, "You are now acting as a deacon for this great church." ”

Not only Androdart, but also Anselm and a group of clergy were completely stunned, "Allow me to say that the contemptible man is the Bishop of Bari, appointed by the Holy See of Rome, and it seems inappropriate for you to behave like this, Commander. ”

"There is nothing wrong with this, I will now issue an expulsion order against your Roman Catholic Church on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, as I have always done in Calabria, waiting for the Patriarch of Constantinople to appoint a new patriarch." Gawain's tone did not carry any mercy or room for mercy, "According to the procedure, you can take your luggage and manuscripts, and go back to where you need to go!" ”

Then, a group of fierce Italian soldiers, with their swords in hand, walked into the hall, and Anselm lowered his head and glared fiercely at Gawain, so that the rest of the priests could walk towards the dormitory building to the south.

"By the way, if you can meet the Pope of Rome, tell him that I would like to speak with Peter the Hermit, who is my Baptist." Finally, Gawain held the rosary in his hand and suddenly said this to Anselm. (To be continued......)
