After saying that, Wright and five or six members of the Brotherhood, dressed in chain mail, armed with shields, bows and arrows, and long swords, escorted the Grand Duke in the middle, and walked past the noisy and restless crowd towards the fruit grove.

At the same time, Bohemond glanced at his nephew beside him, and Tancred understood, and also got off his horse, and Estus and Hercules, with the same number of servant sergeants, were also on the left side of Gawain's team, and entered the forest from another "entrance", a passage formed by the fork of a pile of grass and fruit trees.

The fishy smell blew out with the wind, and under the thick grass and canopy, all kinds of birds made terrifying and ominous chirps, and Wright, who was at the front of the group as a spearhead, was obviously a little restless, and when he saw a large amount of blood in the grass, he began to let go, but Gawain grabbed his arm and pulled him back—six members of the Brotherhood, walking slowly and vigilantly, back and forth, left and right, guarding against the possible Turkic ambushes everywhere.

On the other side of the road, the Normans, who were also approaching slowly, also gathered Tanfred in the center and walked towards the depths of the orchard.

Soon they saw the first corpse, a slave, lying upside down on the ground, completely dead, three or four Turkic arrows stuck deep in his back, and then when Wright turned the stump directly opposite the corpse, he saw a maid, Beatrice's, also dead, she was shot through the throat by the Turkic arrows, piercing through the trunk of the tree, tilting her head, and pouting a pile of dirt with her feet, and it seemed that the moment before death was full of painful struggle.

Continuing to walk forward, the smell of blood became stronger, and everyone saw that the two mules where the priest and Beatrice were sitting were actually properly tied to the pegs, "Wright, this shows that the Turks are not a temporary robbery, but a deliberate ambush. Gawain raised his hand, and everyone, including Tanrred behind him, stopped, and the Brotherhood went up one after another, covering the view between the Grand Duke and the Four Sisters with their shields, and at a distance of only a hundred feet, it was the wall of the tower, surrounded by clumps of bushes, hedges, and vines, and it was easy to ambush people inside—on the four sides of the two mules, there were four or five corpses with arrows, all of which were drowned in pools of blood, and some even had their heads cut off, and none of them were alive, and they were completely dead," these people were all in an instant, And those who were killed by the arrows of the Turks did not even have armor. Wright half-knelt down, looked at the miserable corpses, and made a judgment, and then he quickly got up, and said to the Grand Duke, "Your Excellency, we can quickly evacuate, and as expected, the bodies of the priest and Lady Beatrice are not here, which means that they have been taken captive." ”

Under the shade of the trees that covered the sky, Gawain turned around a little angrily, his eyes stared directly at the somewhat weak Tancrad, the other party couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword, took half a step back, and his flaxen-colored eyes were a little wandering, "You deliberately withdrew the patrol cavalry and put this pair of young men to death!" Gawain drank.

"False accusations and accusations for no reason, you have to take responsibility for your words!" Tancred shot back, and an Armenian warrior and a Turkic warrior beside him stepped forward and faced Gawain with a defensive posture.

"You have to take responsibility for your conscience!" Before Gawain could finish the accusation, a violent Turkic dialect exploded in the city, and Beatrice's tragic cries for help!

They trotted all the way out of the orchard, for Gawain could not see the head of the city under the shade of the trees and the walls, and then he saw Ademar riding on a donkey, with a face as dead as ashes, surrounded by all the lords and lords, including Peter the hermit, looking up at the head of the city through the wooden fence of the camp. Gawain gasped and turned around as he walked, and he saw that on the most prominent tower, many Turkic soldiers were holding the miserable Adelbello, as well as the half-body ****, Beatrice with her skirt torn open, they grabbed their hair, beat and insulted, and deliberately let the entire pilgrim siege camp be seen, and more and more people stood up on their backs.

Wright saw that Beatrice, who had been so beautiful, was slapped, her hair was torn, and she was whipped with a leather whip by a vulgar pagan shepherd, she was crying, the corners of her mouth and cheeks were covered with blood, her teeth were smashed out, and in full view of both sides, her spirit seemed to have completely collapsed, and she would only keep begging the Turks, but also the pilgrims, to deliver her, to deliver her and Adelbello, and she was willing to atone for all her sins and ask for forgiveness.

Wright shuddered, almost feeling his muscles burning, or freezing.

And a Turkic Gazi wearing a nose guard helmet was standing on the pheasant, looking excited, pointing at the pair and yelling.

On the tower over there, Pragit also approached the shooting hole, and when he saw this scene sideways, he was also stunned.

"Adalbello my child, Adalbello my child, what is it that confuses you and puts you in such a purgatory!" The priesthood, who had begun to endure the terrible scene, was almost insane, and he held up the cross with the rosary and kissed it continuously, while Peter behind him covered his eyes with his hands in agony.

At this moment, Raymond, Flanders Robert, Godfrey, Hugh, Baldwin, and many other counts and barons all poured in, and they all had all kinds of expressions, some frightened and uneasy, some indignant and sad, but Bohemond kept shouting in the crowd, "Who can understand Turkic, who can understand Turkic!" We need to know what the murderous infidels say. ”

No doubt that under Gawain's cold gaze, the Ostu raised his hand, and then rode up to the crowd, then turned and translated the words of the Turkic officer, "He said that the man and woman were doing an indescribable, but filthy and shameless deed in the orchard, and were caught by their scouts. ”

"What is the unspeakable but filthy deed, forgive me for not knowing much about some of the evasive expressions in Greek." Bohemond continued to pull on the bridle, closed his ear with his right hand, and asked aloud questions very earnestly.

"It's ****!" Esturf used a phrase that everyone could understand.

"Forgive me, my father, for the Apulian cavalry failed to take good care of the priest and this wretched noblewoman." Bohemond turned his head and apologized very "painfully and sincerely" to the trembling Ademar.

The sun shone down on the back of the city, and the Turkic officer was still talking loudly, and the two men and women were beaten all over their bodies, and then several Turks pushed Beatrice to the battlement, tore off the only clothes left on her body, and knocked her to the ground, "No, don't do this! Adalbello screamed in despair and pain, and with the sound of this, and the laughter of the Turks, and under the gaze of all the pilgrims in the besieged camp, Beatrice was raped and abused over and over again, and at first she could scream in defiance, but soon she lost her breath.
