After the capture of the tower on the stone embankment of Alexandria, several heavy mortillants were transported along the causeway and began to bombard the walls of Tyre, and the sound of shells whistling, the cracking and collapsing of stones, and the cries of the defenders filled the rest of the day and night.

In the first two days, the city of Tyre still had the ability to mobilize and defend it, and Hu Dejie and Portland could brave the artillery fire of the attack, allowing soldiers and citizens to rush to repair the collapsed area. But within two days Anderodat convened a new military council to coordinate the actions of the three naval fleets besieging Tyre from the west, northeast, and southeast. Two days later, a number of large ships rowed together in unison, roaring and unstoppably approaching the walls of the city of Tyre, and several of the large sunfish warships set up double stone throwers (one on the port side and one on the starboard side), strung together with iron chains, and smashed many towers and pheasants, while on the west side were mainly the pirate fleets of Winmoha, most of them using Panfelian light longships or Saracen dhows, blocking the sea route to Tyre and sinking the small boats captured from the city's water gate in an attempt to escape— There are dignitaries and beautiful women in the other party's cabin, as well as many soft treasures, which can make a lot of money for the pirates under Wenmoha!

On the southeast side, the ships of Pisa, Amalfi, and Relaya approached the city walls, and they built a hedged wooden compartment on the mast, behind which many soldiers could stand higher than the castle moats, and shoot arrows and throw fires from a high position.

After four days of fierce fighting, the city had reached a very poor point, the streets were full of dead and wounded, the wounded were untreated, the war dead were untreated, Portland was also shot wounded, the wounds were very serious, and the holy spear of his father's relic was also lying full of sighing Provençals—many of whom had participated in the Crusade and were preparing to make a fortune in a foreign land, who would have thought that they would end up in such a situation?

Hudejie sent messengers carrying white flags through the long stone embankment to the camp of Anderodat to ask for submission.

"I want to accept your surrender, but I'm wondering where you will go after surrender?" Ander Odart asks such a question.

The envoys of the city replied that they were willing to surrender the city and go to the inland Harran Desert, and would never dare to attack the borders of the new Roman Empire again.

"In the three cities, Tripoli, Sidon, and Tyro, all the Saracens, Persians, and Turks who had resisted before, were exiled to Haran. And the Provençals, who fought for the tiger, will be punished with capital punishment! ”

As Anderodat's party marched into the crippled inner city of Tyre, a trembling Portland was pulled up by soldiers from a pit smashed by a stone pellet, his face covered in dirt, blood, and arrow wounds. Under the banner of victory, Anderodat looked at him a few times, and then patiently explained, "I'm sorry, in terms of the territory of Provence, His Royal Highness the Duke of Guillaume has reached an agreement with our Emperor His Majesty that he will inherit and take over, so the Raymond family of Saint-Gilles does not need to leave any more blood. And you and your men have nowhere to go, and you will not survive when you go out of Tyre, so you will be glad to accept the fate of crucifixion in order to renounce your faith in Jesus......"

"My biggest mistake was to underestimate your master's ambition and shamelessness." Portland stared at Anderodat with hatred.

"It is as if you had come to the Levant for a noble and holy purpose. Finally, look at this ocean eye flowing with gold and silver, it is very beautiful. With that, Androdart waved his hand and walked to the site of the Agono Shrine.

Nearly 500 Provençal soldiers who were still alive were crucified with Portland, surrounding the site of the Holy Tomb, the heavens and the earth changed color and terrified, and the bodies of all the victims were blurred like red lacquered sculptures hanging on shelves, and many cursed and groaned for several days before slowly dying, and no one would come to call justice for their deaths: because they were originally the pagan mercenaries of the city, and had previously insulted Christ, and "deserved it"—as for Portland and Jordan, Their death represents the extinction of the Raymond family, which may only be a question of whether it can be done rather than whether it should be done for Gawain's Eastern Roman Empire, but for Guillaume, the Duke of Aquitaine, who has coveted Toulouse and Provence for many years, is a great joy.

Standing on the ruined pheasant moat, watching the execution scene, Androdart raised his eyes and looked at the boundless crimson clouds of the Levant Sea in the distance, they were connected and floated on the waves, like a thick wall, and he couldn't help but choke a little: ten years ago he didn't know that he would be where he is today, he was the child of an ordinary craftsman, he was sent to the monastery, he thought that he could get a god in this life and get what he wanted, who would have thought that today he would be able to command thousands of troops and become a marshal on the independent front.

Looking further out at the crumbling gates of the outer city, the hundreds of exiled heretics in the city, wrapped in crude blankets and driving the remnants of their livestock, headed for the far east of the Harran Desert, perhaps no more than a tenth of them could reach their destination. Because in the mountains of Tripoli on the east side were filled with strongholds of Maronites and Druzes (a fierce heretical sect of the Crescent, concentrated in eastern Lebanon and on the border with Syria, and the archers and light cavalry hired by Androdat had been provided by their tribes), they would have intercepted, plundered, or killed them.

"King Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Tyre." Androdart sighed, and then added and changed another quote from the Bible, "but it will never be reduced to ruins on smooth rock." ”

Soon, Androdat announced the construction of the Church of Our Lady of the Salvation on the foundation of the shrine of Argonor to be dedicated to the capital of Barcelus and Barcelissa, and divided the inner city of Tyre into five blocks and the outer city into three blocks, and began to attract merchants and the whole of Syria and Tripoli Romans (Syrians) to settle in it, and also followed the practice of Jubail and Belitus, clarified the land and land boundaries, and distributed them to farmers and herdsmen. At the same time, in the tent outside the construction site, Androdat signed the important "Treaty of the Mountain Boundary" with the leaders of the Maronites and Druze.

The treaty divided the whole of Tripoli (Lebanon) into three independent areas: "Coastal", "Inside the Mountain" and "Beyond the Mountain", many cities and plains along the coast were owned by the Roman Empire, the mountains inside the mountains were owned by the Maronists, and the pastures outside the mountains were owned by the Druze, and the three parties coexisted peacefully without interference with each other, and concluded mutual economic and trade relations - the Maronites and Druze factions provided mercenaries and border guards for the Empire, for example, the Druze factions promised to continue to provide the Empire with 3,000 archers and 1,000 light cavalry.
