When he saw the banner of "St. Theodore" fluttering in front of him, Gawain in front of the city gate restrained his bridle and hesitated, completely losing the courage to slap the ass of the "good little girl".

Anna was surrounded by selected Greeks, clad in captured Turkic scales, forming the new guard of the Purple Princess, while the rest of the armed regiment marched with uneven steps (they were obviously far from the regular army), chanting slogans such as "Little Heaven", "Divine Revelation" and "Purple Apostle", and marched towards the gates of Karon.

All the generals of the Dalian team stood behind Gao Wen and watched Anna's shoulder stop, but the curtain was not opened, so they quietly stopped there under the protection of the new brigade. So everyone shot their eyes at Gawain, and Gawain swallowed and spit: you can't be angry with Anna at this time, she is the guarantor of all armies, and she is also her own flagpole, and she is her own, if Anna turns over the account on the spot and accuses him of the inappropriate relationship with the female consul, it will be completely finished.

Gawain's feet lifted, quickly rolled off the saddle, and then calmed down, and walked to the shoulder, a smug Agnes walked over, stretched out his hand to block him from the distance specified in the Book of Etiquette, Gawain glared at him fiercely, and then leaned down and bowed, "Lord Patron, I have been supervising the march of the troops in front, and after mastering the castle of Caron, I have received your edict, and I am ready to ride to you to congratulate the birth of the new Guardian Brigade." ”

"Great Stratigos, supervising the march of the troops in front is really tiring to you." Behind the sheer curtain, Anna held the soft armrest of the seat cushion. Softly, "You haven't looked good for the last few days. Pay attention to your body, you are the 'God of War' of the whole team. ”

Anna deliberately compares him to Ares. This is obviously something to say, but Gawain can only bow his head.

"Don't be afraid of Your Excellency Stratigos, I just want the size and prestige of the army to increase, so please come forward - I will fully entrust you with the command of the new brigade." Anna said this, but still did not move behind the curtain, Gawain coughed lightly, stepped forward, and half-knelt down. Anna's hand stretched out and handed the newly made token to Gawain's hand, "The roster is being made, and Dorus will deliver it to you soon." ”

At this moment, the back of Gawain's neck who took the token was oozing sweat, and this gesture was made in front of the thousands of onlookers of the "Red Hand Brigade" and the "Guardian Brigade", which also meant that his Gawain's military power was given from Anna's hands.

"It's time for the new Semu Division, called 'Bow', to take shape. The two brigades fought side by side, regardless of each other. Immediately afterward, Anna said it again.

Gawain can only admit it.

But Anna didn't stop, "That's it. Please draw two infantry companies, one archer company, and one cavalry company from the Red Hand Brigade to strengthen the combat strength of the young brigade. ”

Gawain's head was wilting and drooping.

After saying this, Anna's soft and boneless little hand reached Gawain's eyes again. "All right, Lord Stratigos. Please take me by the hand and walk into the city of Karon. We also need to gather all the generals. Meetings were held in temples in the city. ”

Gawain forced a smile and pulled Anna out of his shoulder, and then the two walked side by side, Anna leaned in front of Gawain's arm, and kept waving to the soldiers around her, whether it was the Red Hand Brigade or the New Brigade. All the generals and soldiers erupted in loud cheers and consciously lined up to welcome the princess and the new general into the mosque of Karon (after the Turks occupied it, the newly built temple became the most magnificent and striking building in the area).

On the side of the city gate, Kabeamiya secretly felt sad, turned her head and left the scene angrily.

"Why should Anna be like this, whether it is to increase the brigade or reform the military system, anything can be discussed with me in advance."

But Anna just grabbed her arms, turned her face sideways, smiled and didn't say a word, and didn't pay attention, as if the punishment and anger against Gawain had not yet subsided.

The main entrance to the Mosque of Juri in Karon is a narrow "sahan" closed by two corridors, covered with small domes, and a small cistern in the center, which is gloomy in light, but when Gawain and Anna pass through it, the sun shines brightly—a courtyard of hundreds of feet on each side, covered with fine and ornate canvas, facing the worship hall of the three colonnades.

The military council was held in this courtyard, "where we waited for two days, and if Baldwin could be contacted, we were to act en masse; If not, our army will advance on its own. Then Gawain rested on his half-kneeling knee with one hand, and with one hand he used a horse's head scepter to point to the mosaic masonry laid in the courtyard, and continued, "There are three directions for the present advance: one is to the east, to the east side of Lake Cappadocia, where there are many important military towns, but on the other side, Cassery, Caesarea, etc., are owned by the Emir of Danishmund, and the strength is very strong, and we cannot go there; The second is to the west, to rendezvous with the main force of pilgrims in the area of Conya, but Bohemond is a bastard, and now he is in command, and the Emperor's power will also stretch there, which is not good for us, and cannot go; So there was only one last place, and that was to reach the Taurus Mountains, and break through the Cilician Gate into the province, opening the way to Antioch. ”

After they were ordered to leave, Gawain pinned the horse's head scepter, walked alone into the hall of worship, touched the pillars, looked at the gorgeous column in the shape of a seven-leaf shell, his heart was full of melancholy, and suddenly he wanted to smoke, and then he stepped on the carpet and steps, and paced to the garden behind to search everywhere, but there was no gain, and at last he could only pluck a few unknown leaves that were somewhat dry, and leaned against the laurel tree, rolled up and beat it with a fire sickle.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps from the other end of the hall, getting closer and closer, and Gawain knew who was coming, but did not look up.

Anna knew that the other party was angry with herself, so she deliberately looked around, circled, and then curiously watched Gawain actually burn the leaves with fire, and put her mouth on it and kept inhaling, smoke came out of the fire, although it was a little unclear, but instinctively knew that Gawain was venting, so she walked under the laurel tree and stood behind the big barbarian, "In the jar on the mosque hall, there is refined cannabis oil, which is the same as the Orthodox monastery, why don't you touch it?" ”

Gawain threw down the charred leaf, still without replying, so Anna laughed, fell up from behind, and put her arms around his neck, "Split your backbone team, the big barbarian is angry?" (To be continued.) )
