In the early morning of the next day, the company of St. Cyril's cavalry, clad in armor and horse coats, lined up in several columns, blocking and monitoring all the routes from the city of Ferna, and then flew through the dust and reeds, and another company of the newly baptized slowly opened the way to Seleucia in the direction leading to Milio Sepharon.

Of course, this is more of Gawain's caution, because it is impossible for Gillicki and Nikitas to come and pursue again.

Sandwiched in the middle were the twenty or thirty thousand surviving pilgrims, sons who had lost their parents, elders who had lost their young, husbands and wives who had been separated from each other, many of whom had simply wrapped their wounds in coarse strips of cloth, and looked around at the shattered peaks, fearing that the Turkic cavalry with their scimitars would reappear, and they no longer wanted to be as carefree as when they set out from their homeland, for the Kingdom of Hungary, Bulgaria, and Constantinople had opened roads and free inns to them, among them Prince Sven and Count Ryanstein, who had also received a warm reception from the emperor in the capital of Rome, thought that the following thousand miles of road was just as pleasant, and who would have thought that as soon as he walked to the hot water lake in the Phrygian mountains, seven or eight thousand people were killed.

Several unkempt pilgrims asked the cavalrymen passing by with spears on their shoulders, "How long is it to get to the Holy Land?" What other murderous enemies are there to keep the believers in their way? ”

The cavalryman smacked his lips, unable to see clearly under his helmet, but said to them in Lombard, "I also heard from His Excellency the Grand Duke that the armies of the Bishop of Le Mans, the Duke of Apulia, the Count of Adana, and the Marquis of Provence were besieging the city of Antioch with great difficulty. ”

Several pilgrims in the "City of Antioch" were confused, carrying luggage and broken baskets. Crookedly tread on the uneven mountain road.

Obviously, they simply only know. In the east there is a holy city with the tomb of Jesus. We can be redeemed and live a good life with the Lord when we walk there, and our bones and souls will always be with Jesus after we die.

The armor on the cavalryman's body rattled, "Antiochus, it is the gateway to the Holy City, the real Holy City, even if it is captured, it will take a long time to reach the wilderness and desert." ”

The pilgrims, who were struggling, were silent, they felt. The frenzy in my heart is rapidly draining away.

At this moment, another general-purpose cavalryman with a Turkic scimitar swaggered and whistled, adding, "In Antioch alone, there are as many towers as there are in a year, and an iron gate of considerable height for a child, a moat that can run parallel to eight ships, and a city road with eight horses running in parallel, and thirty thousand pagan soldiers of all kinds." They have swift horses and arrows, and your life will be gone until you see the arrows and hear the sound of them sweeping through the air. And also. It is heard that in Khorasan, Damascus, Aleppo, and countless more unbelievers, the horses of countless more are rushing there in an attempt to save this great city at the hands of the pilgrims. Drive everyone into the sea and kill all the Christians in the East. "Finished. The cavalryman laughed and gestured with his hand around his neck. The pilgrims shuddered at once, and then they stopped talking.

When he arrived in the mountains of Mirio Sephalon, Gawain rode Sabina, trotted, the bells rang endlessly, with smoke and dust, ran to Gaofu, which overlooked the surrounding narrow roads, and several scouts holding flags here dismounted and saluted him, and after Gawain returned the salute, he turned his head to look at the cirrus clouds and green mountains under the bloody sun: he left Suhrmann in fact to leave himself a "checkpoint" - a steady stream of poor pilgrims and exiles from the West, coming by land (they had no money to go by sea), after Suhrman's killing, Surely a considerable number of people will be frightened, and then join him and Anna's Seleucian kingdom, and provide him with taxes, cultivators, and military service, in fact, there is no psychological obstacle to doing so, and this group of people, many of whom have problems even supporting themselves in their hometowns, many of whom are not so much a pilgrimage as a desire to escape from the poverty and exploitation of their homeland, will have a great possibility of staying when they hear of the greater danger and bloodshed ahead, and see the peace and tranquility of Seleucia and Western Cilicia.

And Gawain also predicted that in three or five years, with the large-scale movement of men to the east, a considerable number of women would follow in the footsteps of their fathers, brothers, or sons, and that Seleucia would have to do a good job of "checkpoint" and "interception".

The value of a woman who can give birth to a doll is extraordinary in Gawain's eyes.

While Gawain was looking out at the distant mountains and thinking about the coming "great wave of women", another woman of all Anatolian descent and status, who could also give birth to a baby, Anna. Ducasse, together with the female ink officer Little Sunfish, rode on his shoulder, escorted by guards and guards, to the besieged Mut Castle.

Anna's shoulder first stopped in front of the Paulician-owned town of Rum, and she saw under the clouds, this group of heretics were burying corpses and repairing the devastation, "It turns out that this group of heretics will shed tears of loss like us Orthodox Christians, so why would they reject Our Lady, and even more so the portrait of Our Lady mourning her son?" When I was four years old, when I saw this painting for the first time, tears flowed from my eyes, and I felt the greatness of humanity and divinity, the merging of body and spirit."

As Anna muttered, Kabeamiya had already arrived like the wind, with the elders of the believers, "The great and inspired princess in purple, the front is full of war, executions and corpses, please stay here for the time being, let us do our best to entertain you." "The consul was very sophisticated and obedient and fell down before her shoulder.

"The Paulicians are okay with the damage this time, right?" Anna behind the curtain didn't eat this set, and her tone was full of business.

"With the wisdom and kindness of the princess in purple, I believe that the four market towns will soon be restored to their original state, no, it will be better in the coming year, and more taxes will be paid to you."

Anna elegantly took out some blackened bread crumbs from the small box next to the armrest, and carefully wiped her white teeth, "Sir believer, this kingdom also belongs to the Grand Duke." ”

Why doesn't Yaguchi improve his text, it is clear that there is a ghost in his heart, the female fox of Konama!

"Yes, but His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is also under the glorious and holy purple-clothed princess." Kabeamia also turns quickly.

"Gawain is right below me, it seems to work." Anna, who still had breadcrumbs on her lips, heard this and fell into a short but serious thought.

The little sunfish next to her coughed softly twice, reminding the princess that she had lost her mind, and Anna turned around, "But I'm still a little sorry, Believer Chief." ”

Kabeamia bowed her head, her black hair braided down, and waited respectfully for the princess's question. (To be continued.) )
