"Father, now is not the time to give up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Seeing this, John hurriedly cheered up and said, "The waterwheel can be rebuilt, especially the tanker, which is easy to make. ”

"Your Majesty, we have no terrible losses in manpower and military resources, please persevere." Many of his aides also responded.

Seeing that Alexios was still frowning, John stepped forward further, "If Alalmanburg is really discarded, then the hearts of the entire empire in the east will be shaken. The rest of the staff also began to echo the prince's words, but at this moment, between his fingers and eyebrows, Alexios turned his gaze to Tetisius, "Say, what do you think?" ”

So everyone turned their eyes to the kneeling Tetisius, and the slash-nosed general bowed his body very nervously, "According to my humble vision, the emperor can temporarily conclude a peace treaty with Gawain, and ask the other party to continue to treat Alarman as a middle ground, and put Hugh's murder case on hold for the time being, so that he can withdraw from the imperial capital." ”

Then in the entire royal tent, all the reproaches and accusations fell on the face of Tetisius, but this one only continued to lie on the carpet, with his hands stretched out in the direction of the emperor's throne. "My most loyal servant, you are embarrassed by what you say, why don't you tell me what I will do in the future if I reconcile with Gawain?" The emperor tapped his chin slightly, and the horsewhip in his hand whistled.

"I, who am humble and lowly, have already said that Alalmanburg is the middle ground." Tetisius raised his ugly eyes slightly, and looked at the emperor.

"What kind of middle ground, if we retreat, then Gawain will immediately seize it, slaughter and destroy this fortress completely, and the loyal and brave Genats who are willing to fight for their father and the empire will be sacrificed and abandoned. Gawain won't even spit out a bone from his bloody mouth. Prince John pointed in the direction of the tent curtain, and angrily counted Tetisius lying on the ground.

"That has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with the Empire." Tetisius turned his face sideways, but looked at the prince who was no longer calm, "Because in the peace treaty signed between us and Gawain, both sides agreed to treat Alarmán as a middle ground, so that's fine...... As for what will happen after the emperor leaves, it is also the result of Gawain's treachery and deception of His Majesty, and it will not damage the prestige of the empire and His Majesty. ”

"What nonsense, what about Seleucia!" John held his head, unable to adapt to all this fiction and reality.

"The real threat now is Gilligi. Arslan, who was told that he had reoccupied the fortresses such as the city of Konya and gathered the Turkic tribesmen loyal to him, began to sweep along the Ores Gorge towards the city of Dolly Laem. Tetisius didn't seem to have the patience to continue.

Hearing this, the emperor frowned and stood up, "Tetisius is right, the strategy for Seleucia is not fast now. Even if Gawain is allowed to obtain Fort Alalman, we can make up for it by building a fort on the military district's seafront road to prevent him from penetrating. But I must not lose it, because once this place falls, the imperial capital of Brusa, Nicaea, and even across the Strait will be threatened by Giliki again, and my Bithynia and Lydia will be cut off from each other. For example, Alalmanburg is at most my finger, but Dollilaham is my throat. ”

"But this is exactly what I dissuaded my father from before, why didn't my father listen to my advice at that time, and burn all the Konya and Mirio Sefalon that had already been obtained!?" John was almost on the verge of collapse.

"That's because my soldiers and horses are really limited, and there are enemies on all sides of the empire, and I just made peace with Danishmond, but I am at war with such miscellaneous as Gilligi and Gawain, and we must not let 20,000 soldiers wither here for a long time, and let Gilligi take advantage of it." Alexios paced forward two steps, and then he adjusted his deployment in a difficult tone, "Tetisius, you stay here with five thousand soldiers and horses, and boost the morale of the defenders in the fortress on the other side of the swamp, so that they can hold out a little longer, and maybe things will take a miraculous turn...... John, you and everyone else pack your bags and are ready to go with me to Dolly Laem. It's good that Gilligi saved me from hunting him again, and annihilated him in one fell swoop outside the city of Dolilahim. Now that the group of pilgrims has helped me defeat Kobha, the Turks of the Anatolian plateau and the Syrian desert will not unite for the time being, which just gives me the opportunity to use diplomacy to defeat each other, and I decided to break the gilliki first, stabilize the situation, and then clean up Danishmond and Seleucia one by one. ”

Then, the emperor turned his back and waved his hand twice at everyone, saying that there was no need to discuss the matter again, and that was the end of it, "Tomorrow send a small boat and entrust His Excellency Maupulos as an envoy to negotiate in the camp opposite." Either way, I've done my best for the Callegos family. ”

John walked out of the curtain and saw Leo at the edge of the tent in front of the tent. Callegos & Tiga. Callegos, who wore armor and carried bows and arrows, although they were not qualified to participate in the Emperor's secret council, were more concerned about what the Emperor said than anyone else, "Your Royal Highness, I have a good plan, that is, to make a tank wheel for drainage, and then along the valley and the land bridge over there, separate the two ends, and drain the water diagonally, so that the angle of Gawain's kind of catapult can be limited, and the earthen embankment can be built like a sea crab's double crow, and after closing it, I will have the soldiers fill the swamp inside with a bang......"

"I'm sorry, but the work to fill in the swamp has stopped." John twinkled and replied to the two Callegos.

The two of them had stunned expressions on their faces, and they couldn't believe their ears, and then the prince turned his face away from them, and added, "The barrier in front of Nicaea City, Dolly Laem, has been threatened by the Gilici Turkic dogs, and my father will return north in the near future, and lead the army to destroy Gilliki, and then turn back to rescue Alamanburg, and my father has given an order, and you two will also accompany the army." ”

"It's too late, Your Royal Highness! That is, His Majesty is going to abandon our family. Leo shouted indignantly.

"Don't worry, we will also use diplomacy to contain Gawain, he promised to use Alamanburg as a middle ground, and tomorrow His Excellency Maupoulos will go to negotiate with Gawain." In the face of the accusations, John's tone became more and more weak.

"Bastard, shame!" The two Callegos brothers were red-faced, speechless, they trembled with anger, spitted, took two steps back, and then looked at John, who was still about to continue to argue, with a fierce look in their eyes, and pressed their hands on the hilt of their belts, "Your Royal Highness, please forgive us for our abrupt disrespect......"
