Tetisius had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he could not disobey the edict in the hands of the officials, so after explaining to Meriselos, he boarded a brig from the city's west water gate and quickly sailed away from the area, heading for the Marimara Sea.

On the aft deck, looking at the fading walls and even the dense besieged barracks in the distance, some of the Nova garrisons stood on the towers, watching their departed figures with strange eyes, whether they believed that they would return, or that they would take the opportunity to never return.

Tetisius simply sat on the deck, with an inexplicable sentimentality in his heart, he understood that no matter how the young Emperor John was ready to fight, the city of Prusa could not be defended, and the only suspense was the time of the fall of the city, because no matter how tenacious the city defense was, once there was not enough field force to repel Gawain, he could continue to maintain the siege of this place until it was captured.

Therefore, Tetisius prefers to think like this: the city of Prussa is to buy precious time for the war preparation of the imperial capital, after all, the empire still has half of the country, and if you win diplomacy, there is still a chance to counterattack.

But the thousands of new troops trained by Thessaly, fearing that few of them would be able to escape the terrible siege, and they were all sacrifices that had to be made......

Suddenly, there was a loud cry from the watchman on the mast, and the deck was full of people running, and Tetisius scurried to his feet, and a volley of lead shot from the fire guns hissed and flew over his head, and he bowed down in alarm, and the shot shot into the side behind him, making a violent noise.

Then more and more arrows and projectiles flew in, and the brig made its way through the waves, up and down, in the direction of the Gallipoli fortress. Tetisius crouched on the side of the ship, and saw the sandbanks, rocks, and seaside caves on both sides of the river estuary, and many light longships rushing out unnoticed, attacking from all directions. The sailors above undoubtedly belonged to the country of Tarsus, they shouted and raised the firearms in their hands, and from a distance, they continued to shoot at their warships, and the shrimp whiskers on the bow of the group of light ships were still firing coldly, and the sailors around Tetisius were constantly being shot and falling into the water, and many oars were interrupted by the close-range shotguns swept by the shrimp whiskers.

"What ship? When did you pounce here! Tetisius was really shocked, but in front of him, Gawain's light ships rushed through the smoke with the sudden rumbling of cannons, beating drums, and scurrying like wolves and light cavalry at sea.

After some fighting, Tetisius's brig finally broke through, but the hull was riddled with holes, and the rudder was broken, and it was only the captain's audacity and dexterity in taking advantage of the tide of the strait that brought the ship to the shore of Gallipoli. Tetisius ran to the stern of the ship and looked at the sea in the distance, where many Tarsus "skuas" took advantage of the victory to come ashore, and some of them broke into the river west of Prussa, "This, this Prussa's supply line has been completely cut off!" ”

In despair, Tetisius found Emperor John in the fortress, and the other party was also full of sorrow.

"I want the Venetian fleet to come here as soon as possible and destroy Gawain's light ships."

"Impossible, after the Venetians rescued Crete and Rhodes, there were no more than a thousand mobile men and horses that could be drawn from them, excluding the garrison."

"It doesn't matter if we don't have an army, we just need their ships."

John shook his head, "Now Gawain is instructing Bill Leoni to instigate the city-state of Pisa to send envoys to Rome to impeach Venice, so it is unlikely that they will directly attack Gawain again in the short term." ”

"The defenders of Prusa will be destroyed."

"I know...... That's why at the last minute, I took you out......" At this point, John finally told the truth.

"What's the use of me without an army?" Tetisius was in pain.

And John was even more bitter, "When I first entered to defend Prussa, no general or army was willing to go to Prusa except for my new army; Now that Prussia is in danger, there will be no generals or troops willing to defend it to the death, except for my new army. ”

After saying this, the young emperor actually raised his face and faced the sky with difficulty, crying, "It was I who made a mistake and chose to use such an over-the-top way to eliminate the calamity I feared in my heart, but it was at the cost of destroying the empire that ......"

Tetisius also bowed his head and held the hilt of his sword, "God does not give people pure and pure happiness, He mixes happiness with pain and gives it to people. But Your Majesty, it is too early to talk about the destruction of the Empire. ”

"So I want you to stay in the fortress of Gallipoli, and forget about Prustha. It's a glorious fortress that has been done well enough before, but now that the Venetians have stepped in, and the Gallipoli fortress has been well defended, the great granaries of the imperial capital will continue to be used to recruit new troops—and as long as you and Axepocus are around, my new army will not be extinct, and we will be able to hold Gawain to death. ”

Three days later, in the early morning, a large number of soldiers on the Great Turtle Fortress held torches and chanted the slogan of Long Live around Gawain and Anna who were standing at the top, and they were waiting for the lecture of the Great Patron before the general attack.

In the front line of trenches, behind the wooden fences, dog-footed wood, and breastwork, the soldiers in charge of the first round of storming were either kneeling or leaning over, and stayed there densely, their helmets reflecting the sparkle of the rising sun, and the firearms, swords, battle axes, and bows were overlapped, blending with the human figures like a black forest covering the entire white high wall.

In their central position, three heavy mortars and six light mortars were grouped together and lined up, forming a bombardment section two hundred and fifty feet long, with the muzzles of the guns towering high and diagonally against the nodules on the opposite side.

The teachings and speeches of the great patron cannot be transmitted here.

They only listened to the orders of the centurion beside them, and once the order was issued, they had to sacrifice their lives to pounce on them.

Although the enemy soldiers who could still hold behind the enemy should have been greatly reduced due to the continuous shelling before, their deadly threat was still everywhere.

On the Great Tortoise Barrier, Gawain's speech was very brief, "Most of you are honorary veterans who have participated in countless battles, don't use any sensational words to add to it." I'm just here to say that Anna and I are here to urge all the fighters.

In addition, Anna and Her Royal Highness Princess Dedo in Purple jointly issued a joint announcement announcing the list of sinners who had previously participated in the murder of the Holy Apostle Emperor - the masterminds, including the Puppet Emperor John, the chief lady of the court, Malena, and the traitor Theodoro of Trabzon. Gabrias, Marianne, the wife of Theodoro, and John's minions Tetisius, Meriseros, and Axepocus, and the pseudo-patriarch Maastas; The accomplices include the Georgian chief David, and the pseudo-court warden Mikhail. Nestas ....... These are the people on this list, and you must kill or capture them mercilessly in any subsequent battle......"
