readx;?“ If you lead your team south to Afyon, how are we going to hold on here? "By the stone wall of the window hole of the tower, several officers in draped clothes found Theognes, who was there to supervise the soldiers' readiness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Diognis turned around and pondered, "Angras is located in the middle of the Sakarya River and the Harris River, and Gawain must not be allowed to take advantage of it, and now Gawain seems to have only one brigade on the territory of Afyon, and the other two brigades are said to have marched from Caesarea City, and the route of attack is unknown, and Angelas may be coveted by them." I left four hundred men to defend the fortress, and I asked Count Stephen of Fort Germanico in the north-east to lead the troops to assist you in the defense - that's all! Afyon and Anglas are both gateways, and His Majesty's army still has days to go before it reaches the war zone, and you and I will fight hard to prevent Gawain from taking half a step too far. ”

"Yes, Lord Theognes." The officers all replied eagerly.

As soon as the words fell, under the walls of Angras and in the meadows of the river, suddenly stood up columns of soldiers, erected banners of war, holding all kinds of fire guns in their hands, and rows of flames and flying arrows in the thunder roared around the entire city wall in turn, shaking so that grass clippings and wild flowers fluttered everywhere, and the entire Angras castle was filled with smoke, and suddenly fell into panic and chaos, "There is an enemy attacking, there is an enemy attacking!" ”

"Gawain's army is sneaking so fast?" The guard officer was shocked, and hurriedly rushed out of the tower with the others, blasting the scattered stone chips along the moat, running about dozens of paces, and a garrison officer with a piece of arrow hid behind a battlement, and then got up and shouted and fired a shot along the battlement to the smoke-billowing river below, "How could the enemy run directly under the city wall!?" Theognes pressed the man's shoulder, and asked as he leaned over the firing of a sharp and whistling firebolt.

"The enemy had spies among the caravans of Afyon, and had bought Anglas sheep in the bazaar of the city two days before, but now that the war was in full swing, they had spent money on many local peasants, and had led many of them to run to the meanders of the river and occupy the passage." The garrison officer gritted his teeth and roared.

"Afyon's caravan, damn it!" Theognes raised his bow and arrows, his back against the stone wall of the battlement, and many arrows of fire trailing their tails over his head, "What is the state of confusion now?" Because it was Afyon City-Gawain who sent me an urgent request for help, and I am indeed your primary target here, but I will definitely hold on to this place and live up to Your Majesty's trust! ”

On the meadows of the river below the city of Anglas, the subordinate shooters of the Guardian Brigade and the Red Hand Brigade had all lined up, and fired all kinds of firearms, and the smoke and fire became bigger and stronger, and the guards, who were beaten so hard that they could not raise their heads, took the time to see that in the distant valleys all over the place behind the smoke, many flags appeared, and large groups of troops, they marched towards Fort Anglas, and rode side by side like a shower, surrounded them.

Under the dazzling golden red hands and golden citrus flags, Merlot and Branas rode side by side, commanding the troops to march forward: in the blink of an eye, the two brigades were in a pincer-shaped formation, completely cutting off the passage between the hilltop and the outer villages, pastures and market towns, and here and there were small chariot ramparts, and the soldiers then used their spears to round the chariot bars on which they leaned, and erected tents like starry sand and dust, or Turkic domed felt tents, to form a long front of siege.

Several merchants and farmers laughed, carrying the wine and meat on their backs, and led a few sheep with snow-white and rich hair, to the camp of the Grand Count Merlot, who was holding the banner of the Christfish, "This is the sheep that the great guarantor specially told to send to Sebastian?" Melo walked out and asked curiously.

"Yes, the best sheep are, their wool is of the highest quality." The merchant complimented.

Merlot nodded and handed them a money bag, "You've done a very good job of infiltrating and leading the way before, and this is your reward. ”

At the same time, in the twilight, General Branas, the general of the other brigade, rode his horse, surrounded by the soldiers of the German Guards, and ran to the tent, he pointed to the gray Anglasburg in the distance, "Earl, you can give orders, my brigade's crossbow is ready." ”

Mellot soon agreed, and at a distance of more than a hundred feet below the walls of Anglas, three officers and men of the Guardian Brigade came to the flat ground with white flags and crossbows in the sound of trumpets, and the guards behind the battlements raised their torches, raised their arrows, and drew their bowstrings to aim at the three.

Theognes held on to the battlements and watched the scene, as well as the dense enemy besieging the camp in the distance.

"The great guarantor said that you are the most stubborn!" After the crossbow had been set up, the centurion who took the lead waved a white flag and shouted in Greek to the warden at the head of the city.

"So there's no need to shoot the book of persuasion." Diognis replied aloud, then he took a birch bow with the thread attached, and then put his fingers together and drew the string to the side of his cheek, and there was a "buzz": an arrow with red tail feathers swept over the centurion's helmet like a meteor, and shot the feather of the other man accurately, "This is my only answer."

At this time, the bowstring on the crossbow flicked (and then the three men fled with the crossbow in tow), and a large unclustered arrow tied to a wooden barrel, whistling to the head of the city of Angras, fell to the fence, and when the soldiers picked it up, took out the sealed letter in the barrel and gave it to Diognis, the officer of the captor saw it, and the contents were written by Gawain himself:

"Diognes. Akritas himself

I have recovered the mountain where your parents once lived, in Elbistan, and found the outpost where you were born. It's always open to you, but the problem is you can't take your own steps......"

The part below Theognes tore apart and threw it in the wind without even looking at it.

"All the soldiers, cheer up the heroic spirit of the emperor's ** team, and support me to defend this fortress to the death. As long as we persevere, His Highness Brenus and Count Stephen will soon come to our aid. The Emperor's army is behind us, and it will arrive in five days at most, and the main force of the enemy army will be firmly crucified by us......"

But the next day something happened, Branas and the Guardian Brigade suddenly left the camp and headed west, and the southern front of Anglasburg was suddenly lifted from the siege, and only the Red Hand Brigade was still in formation, which frightened the guards on the tower for unknown reasons.

"Is this brigade lurking somewhere in the west, or is it interspersed with the other side of the city of Afyon, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the reinforcements of His Highness Brenus? Gawain and his generals are the best at this tactic, and they can't afford to be on guard. ”

The puzzle soon came, and a cavalry army appeared on the hill south of the city with a banner, and then reached the city wall with lightning speed, and the leading officer shouted that he was a reinforcement from the Panfelian Military District, and asked the catcher to put them into the fort of Anglasburg to strengthen the garrison.
