For Anna, at the meeting where the Sixth Division was founded, Gawain still had a shadow on her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a while, Sigma, pale, and seemingly bleeding had lost a lot of blood, was lying on a stretcher with his shoulders bandaged, and was carried into the feast by two soldiers, when Walter, the commander-in-chief, stood up on his own initiative, bowed to the people, and said in Greek in which he was not very fluent, "As a commander-in-chief, it is his duty to assist in the examination of the Grand Duke and the military judge." ”

The two brothers behind Walter also lowered their heads in a disturbed mood, and Anna behind the curtain stared at the two brothers again, and the whole atmosphere began to be weirdly tense, but soon Sigma raised his head and said to the Grand Duke brazenly, "I am the first to plant the battle flag on the head of the city according to the request of the leader of the formation, Your Royal Highness the Grand Duke, you promised me half of the gold coin, not even half of it!" ”

"Don't worry—Wright, I'm by my side." The Grand Duke replied in front of everyone, and then Wright hurriedly sat down beside him, pen and paper in hand, "Sigmar, before you get the gift, you have to explain what the arrow in your back is." ”

"I it, I don't know what's going on, I was about to kill the main tower of the castle and cut off the head of the enemy general to get more pay, when I was coldly hit by the arrow." Sigma yelled in exasperation.

"So the arrow wasn't struck when you turned your back on the enemy?" The Grand Duke continued to ask.

Sigma shook his head one after another, indicating that there was no such possibility, "I have jumped on the head of the city to plant the battle flag, how can I run away in the face of the enemy?" Those enemies are as vulnerable as insects. ”

Gawain nodded his head, and then he looked at Walter who was standing. Sanzavar made a gesture, and the old knight understood, and immediately summoned several military servants who first noticed that Sigma had fallen to the ground, and immediately those people prostrated themselves at the foot of the steps where the Grand Duke and the princess lived, "When you found Sigma, in what position was he lying there with the arrow?" Giovanni asked.

"Facing the direction of the entrance to the enemy tower." The confessions of several military servants were completely consistent, "At that time, we also felt strange that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke's army could be shot in the back at this angle. ”

Because of the extremely strict rules of the Gawain military code, especially the shooting of arrows by soldiers, which could only be carried out under the orders of the flag officer, and those who did not obey the order to fire arrows indiscriminately must be executed immediately, and all the teams received orders at that time to use swords and shields to attack the city, and all archers should stop shooting to avoid accidental injury.

At the same time, the arrow that hit Sigma in the back was also pulled out by the doctor and handed it to Gawain, "The regulation of this arrow, as well as the inscription of the Ordnance Division, are naturally used by our Seleucian army. Giovanni's tone was affirmative.

Gawain held the direction a few inches behind the arrow cluster, and the pupils of his eyes reflected a faint light, "Giovanni, what you said is not enough, this arrow is not only Seleucian, but also unique to mounted cavalry...... The arrows were shorter and fired at the point, and were used by mounted cavalry to restrain armored enemies. ”

"What ......do you mean, Grand Duke," Giovanni said hurriedly as he understood.

At this moment, the faces of the two Dukas, who were sitting behind Walter, were like earth, and Anna's attitude was also worse, and she thought to herself, "This is obvious, there are people in the mounted cavalry who want to kill Sigma, or vendetta, or fight for merit, but either way, the barbarians may use this as a reason to revoke and disband my cavalry regiment - this group of people, I should not have neglected to discipline them in the first place." ”

But Gawain threw the arrow back on the plate that the fat eunuch was holding, and clanged, "I mean, Sigma didn't run away, but it was also a mistake. ”

Before Giovanni could say anything, Gawain continued to report the basis for his decision, "Although I issued a ban on bows and arrows before the battle, the mounted cavalry was not included, and some of them were originally from the nobles of Jinat, and they were used to carrying quivers to fight on horseback, and they were different from the Blois, Normans, and Franks, and they fought the enemy at short distances, and it was inconvenient to be limited to which weapon to use; What's more, it is said that the defenders also used bows and arrows and mounted cavalry to engage in a small firefight when they were defending the central tower, so it was inevitable that Sigma, who was at the front, would be injured by mistake. Sigma's wounds were also suffered because of his bravery. In the end, Gawain qualitated the incident, "So there is no need to delve into who the arrow is, but to compensate Sigma for his injuries and give the warrior two hundred gold coins." ”

As soon as the Grand Duke's conclusion came out, Sigma of course had no opinion, and he kept a grateful voice, and immediately put a heavy money bag on the stretcher and was carried away from the scene.

And Anna and Walter were relieved.

"The heroes who killed the Callegos family will be named one by one." Subsequently, Gawain resumed the next round of judgments and punishments.

Giovanni and Wright were very accurate: in the swamp, six civilians were shot at Severn, each of whom was rewarded with seventy gold coins; The large plani cannon that slew Taylor with a stone projectile was slain, and all the cannon craftsmen divided the four hundred gold coins equally; The little sunfish works hard to make sharp weapons, and is rewarded with an additional 100 gold coins.

But as the rounds of affairs were cleared, Anna's face became solemn again, because at this time, Gawain's eyes were fixed on the two Ducasse brothers, "You were the first to rush to the room where Nika was, and there was a fierce fight, so who cut off the heads of Nika and Ace, the rebellious father and son of Callegos?" Or did you two disrupt the prelude of the whole army and charge arbitrarily in order to compete for merit, or because you were worried about your father and brother, and did not want them to die at his hands? ”

At this time, as soon as Gao Wen's words were finished, the purple-clothed princess suddenly stood up from behind the curtain and sharply reprimanded the Ducasse brothers, "Before setting out on the expedition, I gave you two the duties of supervising officers, but I didn't expect that your only strength was that you ran faster than Sigma, and you also harmed the entire armored cavalry regiment, and you must be severely punished." ”

The Dukas's brothers did not dare to refute, so they could only half-kneel on the ground, facing the princess and the grand duke, expressing their willingness to accept any punishment alone.

"You've let your adoptive mother down so much." Gawain said, but then Walter suddenly stood up, "Your Royal Highness, in fact, it was not them who cut off the heads of Callegos father and son, but me. And the reason why these two prison officers of Her Royal Highness the princess attacked in advance was also my order, because at that time Sigma was under siege by the enemy, and I, as the commander of the mounted cavalry regiment, of course, also had a bit of selfishness in it - in case Your Excellency Sigma made a mistake and was taken away by the enemy, it would not only be a disaster for the mounted cavalry regiment, but also damage the princess's reputation, so I temporarily sent the Ducas brothers to deal with Sigma. ”

"Oh?" After a long time, Gawain suddenly said something like this. (To be continued.) )
