Chapter 57: The Three Brothers of Broken Gold
After listening to Tiga's words, Leo. Callegos also remembered the warning of his blind father in the past: in this world, no one can trust the emperor, Gawain, or the Sultan of Rรปm too much, and if you blatantly join a certain camp, it will be the beginning of the family's demise.
What's more, the sixth and seventh are still in Gawain's army
"What's the good of these two not being there? The succession of the castle of Alarman in the future" Diga is not interested in the life or death of his brother at all, even if he decides not to decide to rebel against Gawain, it is to consider the interests of the Mut Valley and the castle, the first three and the last two, there is only an obstacle for him at all.
The conspiracy is spreading and operating rapidly throughout the land, regardless of the sun, moon and stars.
The Jinats of the Mut valley were the first to be instigated by the two brothers, and they gathered under the castle with soldiers and servants;
The situation in Cicilicia was slightly better, for General Orson was not yet clear;
In the wilderness around the city of Sith, the three brothers' horses were already eager to march towards the city of Mamistra.
Almost at the same time, at Anna's command, many messengers galloped from the city of Zefelim in all directions: in the castle of Seleucia, Walter. Sanzabal, Andronicus. The two remaining commanders of Branas, as well as Samuelfa and other craftsmen, immediately organized the remaining brigade detachments and mobilized German volunteers to begin to defend the city, build fortifications, and strictly investigate the spies;
Giovanni, who was patrolling affairs, also hurried with his companions in the Fort of Ramas, which guarded the seaside passage between Seleucia and West Cilicia. Begin to hold on and support both ends at any time;
And Dolus, who guards the mountain arteries of the two regions. Lambert. With a detachment of brigades, they also strictly guarded Fort Coleadio;
Meantime. After calculating the distance of the fast horse, Anna sent different batches of messengers to order the Genat nobles who remained in the local area of Cicilicia, "Assemble at once to Seleucia, and according to the instructions from the front, the remnants of the Turks are ready to intercept the pilgrims from Denmark in the mountains of Isuriya, and the Grand Duke is returning from the starry night, and immediately lead the commanders to battle, and those who hesitate will be executed." Confiscation of property. The Imperial Army, which had appeared on the Cilician Road, was about to rush to reinforce the siege of Antioch, and waited for the Grange and the Dock Fort, and was to wait for orders, to give them the way, and to provide provisions. Anna then stood nervously in Zefelim's tower, waiting closely for the messenger to return, and in the middle of the night, the messenger returned safe and sound. And tell Anna that the Jinats around Zephilim are indeed intimidated by the majesty of Gawain and the princess in purple, and the tragic lesson of Aspar in the past. They all prepared their harnesses and weapons, began to raise their flags, and obediently marched towards their destinations.
"These troublesome people are finally away from the fire," Anna couldn't help but sweat soaked through her silk robe. Secretly lucky, "It seems that my father's biggest miscalculation." It should be focused on plotting against the Orson and Callegos brothers, and ignoring this group of little Jinats. โ
"Prepare my shoulders. Organize all the detachments of Zefelim, let Wright and Anderodat be the flag bearers, and guide us to Lamprun Castle! Then, Anna resolutely gave this order.
The main heraldic officer next to him was okay, and the deputy heraldic officer Wright grunted, kneeling weakly in front of the purple-clothed princess, "Your Royal Highness the princess, I don't know anything about military affairs, I'm afraid it's a burden to take me to the battlefield!" โ
Anna looked at the Sicilian and nodded, "Yes." โ
Wright was overjoyed, "Then entrust me to stay here and prepare for the return of the Grand Duke." โ
"No, you have another use." After Anna finished speaking, she handed the sealed secret letter to Wright, "You now set off immediately, gallop to Alalmanburg, and hand this over to General Nika." โ
Alas! At this juncture, he actually asked me to do such a task, not to mention that Alalmanburg is still on the seaside road to the Panphelia region, which is very far away, not to mention that the immeasurably blind general Nika, at this time, will he have been bribed by the emperor to rebel, by the way, cut me off the sacrificial flag, and then attack Seleucia?
Wright's eyes were rolling, but Anna had already handed the paperwork into his hands, "If you can't complete this vital task, I'll treat you as dead - either you'll go into exile or you'll come back to Seleucia, and I'll personally order the guards to cut off your head." The purple-clothed princess's tone was very fierce.
So the deputy heraldic officer could only weep and mourn, put the paperwork into the sleeve, stepped on the horse's back, and ran desperately in the direction of Seleucia, facing the night wind and the moon.
In front of the burning bonfire in the tower, watching the indecipherable dust and smoke raised by Wright's horses' hooves, quickly disappearing along the dark white road, disappearing into the night, Anna collapsed and sat down on the stone slab, Gothchild came over, gently hugged Anna, touched her braids, "Be strong, Adana and Mamistra, I have also sent fast horses, be prepared, the difficulty will be overcome." โ
"Cross over, yes, you can cross it, but who wants the placket to be stained twice by the same filthy river? There will be no next time. Anna's brown eyes turned cold, "This time, it is a litmus test for anyone, and what is recorded in the folded account book is not only the land and taxes, but also the real accounts, the accounts to be settled."
The sun was rising, and the army of the three brothers of Callegos in Sith City, raising their banners, had already crossed the border, and secretly advanced towards the city of Mamistra along the valley where the Adana and Felamis rivers meet, and the footsteps of the infantry and cavalry stepped on the soft sandy river beach, and made a heavy squeak, "This fortress is stronger than the city of Adana, but it is said that there are only thirty soldiers left behind. Seize it, and you will be able to keep both Baldwin and Godfrey in the east, and His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to despise our exploits! Severn was triolated, because intelligence showed that the heavy forces of the Godfrey and Baldwin brothers were massed on the side of Issus and the Amonos Mountains, watching over the many Armenian lords.
"Who would have thought that it was us who made the trouble, haha." The bad second and third laughed in unison.
"Woo woo woo", as soon as the words fell, the sound of a long and mournful horn instantly resounded throughout the river valley, and the three brothers panicked - they saw that in the hills and jungles outside the city of Mamistra, countless knights and sergeants in shining armor appeared, and from all directions they were forced to face their restless army, and it was the two counts of Werner and Hartmann under Godfrey who took the lead.
"Big brother, let's retreat." Seeing this formation, the two Callegos hurriedly turned their horses' heads.
"If we retreat, then wouldn't it be true that we have a conspiracy?" Severn. Callegos wept and mourned, but he could only take the flag and the guards, and together with the two brothers, he fled in the opposite direction of the valley.
As a result, in the Adana River, they saw that countless fierce cavalry with red-handed battle flags, men and horses, armor and river water, were marching in columns, and soon blocked the circuit, and the three brothers hugged each other, trembling, and watched the Grand Duke, wearing a red-handed feather helmet, coming towards them under the long axes and two-handed halberds of elite Saxon warriors.
