With the dull sound of blades clashing, John gritted his teeth, holding the hilt of the knife in one hand and holding the blade horizontally with the other, resisting Leo's slash without warning, "Callegos, you are crazy, what's the use of attacking me?" ”

"This is blood revenge, anyway, the emperor also sacrificed and destroyed our family!" Leo shouted, pressing the blade down heavily, John was a teenager after all, and his bones were still weak, and he couldn't help but be pressed to his knees half a knee over there. Callegos said sorry, drew his saber, and raised his hands in the air, ready to slash at Prince John's neck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Crazy, you're all crazy." John squinted his eyes, saw the cold light of the blade, and involuntarily shouted in a trill, he still did not lead the guards, and deliberately ran to the secluded place of the stables to explain to the two brothers, hoping that they would understand the royal family's hardships and persevere, but he did not expect that this group of Jinat was completely unruly wolves on the plateau, and stretched out their fangs and claws to himself without saying a word.

"Forgive us, Prince." There, Diga shouted, and swung his blade, but before he could finish his words, an arrow whistled over the half-kneeling prince's head, and shot straight into Tiga's still gaping mouth, and the Callegos staggered his head, and then fell to the ground like a muddy mud, his booted legs still shaking.

"Ahh Prince John saw a fresh life, and was immediately killed by the bow and arrow, and couldn't help but loosen his wrist, and sat here, the saber pressed by Leo over there could not recover his strength, and the blade grazed the tip of John's nose diagonally, and another arrow flew and hit Leo's right shoulder, he screamed, and the saber fell to the ground, and then hung down his crippled right arm, and pulled out the dagger at his waist with his left hand with a low roar, and continued to press Prince John with a hideous face.

"Whoosh" the third arrow, flying straight forward, fluttering, just raised his left hand to stab Leo, the exposed ribs were pierced through the armor, Leo howled in pain, shrunk his body, his hands were bloody, sprinkled in front of the stunned prince's feet, like a violent lion trapped by an iron grate, gritting his teeth and falling backwards.

At this moment, the prince, who had been relieved of the danger, looked back, thirty feet away from the stable, in the faint twilight, and the noseless Tetisius had a calm face, and was holding his bow and arrow, and was putting on the fourth arrow again, like a hunter rounding up a beast.

"Ah, damn it!" Leo staggered, slammed into the railing outside the stable, and turned to take the road, only to be swept away by another arrow, from the left side of Leo's face to the right cheek, and Leo was rushed sideways to the side of the road by the force of great inertia and fell down—the prince's new guard, Axepocos, also holding the bow he had just issued, quickly tiptoed out of the shadows.

Leo, who was not yet completely out of breath, trembled with his mouth and the arrows that ran through it, and supported his body with his hands, and got up in pain, his eyes looking at Axepocus close to him, like a prey begging for mercy.

"Axepocus ......" John picked up his saber and was about to reach out to say something, when Tetisius, who was standing behind him, lowered his bow and shouted first, "Kill Callegos who dares to attack the prince!" Suddenly, without the slightest delay, Axepocus walked quickly in front of Leo, pulled out the Turkic hunting knife, held it firmly with his backhand, pierced it into Leo's eyebrows, and then pulled out the knife, and raised his foot, and knocked the dead man to the ground......

In the midst of the campfire, Alexios rode on the back of the returning horse, looked at this scene coldly, shook his head, waved his palm at his guards and horses, signaled not to alarm the other camps, deal with the aftermath, and left quietly.

At this moment, Tetisius withdrew his bow, slung it on his arm, and walked to the prince's side, "Your Highness, please do not approach anyone with a sword in the future without the protection of the guards, including Axepocus and the lowly me. ”

John turned his face sideways, looked at him hatefully, and then put the saber back in its sheath. "Your Royal Highness, you may think that killing the two Callegos is too cruel and unnecessary, but I don't think so. The two men openly expressed their resentment against the Emperor's tactics, which was their capital offense, and if they continued to live, they would surely spread all kinds of rumors in the army that were not conducive to unity and obedience, and they had to be executed. Tetisius explained to himself that there were already several henchmen disposing of the corpses of the two Callegos......

The next day, Maupulos wore a ship, sailed to Gawain's siege position on the sea outside the land bridge, and then flew the purple imperial flag representing the emperor, and walked to the scarlet tent where Gawain was located amid the cheers and shouts of many defenders at the head of the city.

When Maupulos arrived at the tent, Gawain was sitting there, waiting for the other party to arrive, and then Gawain took out the peace document drafted by Anna, which was also pre-planned, and this document covered not only Alalmanburg, but also the whole of Seleucia, Cilicia, and South Cappadocia.

In this document, Anna declares that she is "willing to continue to keep the oath she had made with her father, and to surrender Seleucia in March of the following year; After waiting for another three months, Sicilicia will be handed over. However, "Aralmanburg is still the middle ground, and my father, the army horse of the Empire, is not allowed to set foot in this place for the next year, and the right of our army to punish and hunt down rebels here is guaranteed", "Then the ports will be opened, and free trade will continue for a year", "The people of John and Tetisius, who are hostile to Seleucia and the whole procession of pilgrims, will be removed to maintain peace on the border", "After the surrender of Seleucia and Western Cilicia in the coming year, the emperor shall not persecute the kingdom of Adanab, In addition, the region of South Cappadocia should be promised to be 'leased' to Gawain and Anna for a further period of three years, and to be granted to Gawain and Anna's Triflank Brigade and Mounted Cavalry Regiment to which Gawain and Anna belonged, in order to gain the power to conquer the area from Melitene to Lesser Armenia, either to the Turks or to the remnants of the disobedient Armenian Ani dynasty (Prince Ruben)."

Finally, Anna also noted, "In March of the following year, Gawain will definitely keep his oath and hand over Seleucia, so that my father will not have any worries." I also asked my father not to mistakenly believe in the demagogies of the traitorous party, and to withdraw his troops in time to deal with the real enemies of the empire. ”

After reading these contents, Maupoulos put it in the box and said that when he returned, he would ask the emperor for approval as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
