The next day, the first day of the Passover of the Holy Spirit, the militia in the direction of Fort Mut passed through the well-known pavilion area before the pirates launched a second attack on the eastern city of Seleucia, and rescued more than 200 men and women captured by the pirates in a merchant hall.

The shouts of slaughter shook the sky, and the Nationals climbed the hillside along the hidden path, and stormed the camp of the pirates under the big hospital, and the soldiers in front used fire guns to shoot and throw fire, and the explosions were incessant, and the pirates who had been drunk last night abandoned their tents like a swarm of bees, and fled barefoot towards the Akoum waterfront.

All the men and women who resisted in the Great Hospital, including the chief deacon and the female physician Grana Ai, were rescued, and then Badurf and Jindschwart, with all the civilian army and armed people, used the Great Hospital and the hill where it was located as a barracks, raised the military flag and lit the torch, and reported the victory to the Seleucian city.

The morale of the city was further boosted, and Zahas was even more annoyed, and soon he learned that another army of Tarsus was coming from behind him, so he summoned his son-in-law Musetto: "Give you five hundred of the bravest warriors of the sea, and set up an ambush on the shore of the city of Ramas, and intercept this enemy from Tarsus." After speaking, Zahas, who has always regarded himself as an old fox, suddenly grabbed his son-in-law's collar, and his tone was a little anxious, "Listen to Musetto, listen...... We can't go back to Tunisia, where there is infighting and conflict, so we can't be attacked behind our backs, and I didn't just go back to Anatolia to get a handful of them with so many subordinates. The Emperor promised us that if we conquered Seleucia, he would give us the city of Tarsus. What's mine is yours, so no matter what means are used, we all have to take root here, we all have to take root! ”

"Yes, my father." Musetto also plucked up confidence and said.

In the tent of Philomeron's camp, Peter, a hermit who was panting on a donkey, approached Gawain and told him that the Seleucian city had been attacked by the Zahaas pirates—the monk did not want things to be too big, so he wisely prayed to the local militia when he saw the beacon fire in the monastery of Arahan, asking them to come to Caesar's fortress, while he stepped on the donkey that was faithfully with him, and galloped over the various mountain paths to tell Gawain privately.

"Let Giovanni return to the city of Iconium to take charge of the city, and let Merlot oversee the whole camp here—I'll only go to Seleucia with Caesar's cavalry regiment, and that's it, it shouldn't weaken the army much." Gawain's hand was hidden at his waist, and Peter watched as he kept pinching his fingers.

After all, his wife was there, and although Anna's ability and intelligence could not be viewed as an ordinary woman, Gawain was still worried, and showed obvious unnatural emotions in front of the generals and military servants.

At the tent gate, the Turkic servants and Dim also looked frightened and uneasy.

"Your Highness, you can't go back." At this time, the rest of the generals did not say anything, but Maglendius, who had rushed here earlier, sat in his chair and was calm and categorical.

"But Seleucia is also very important, and I must personally lead the cavalry to the rescue......" Gawain's hand was on the side of the map sand table, raising his hand to try to make his tone appear calm, but his eyes were full of Anna's smile, making his fingertips tremble.

"Don't you trust your county magistrate and the people's army? This is nothing more than a trick of the Emperor, the pirates may seem ferocious, but they are a complete rabble, and I have heard of the battle of Gallipoli on the island of Respas. At this moment, the old wise man stood up and spoke, and then he turned to ask the monk, "Your Excellency, your Excellency, have the Arahan Monastery and the militia in the area of Fort Mut gone for reinforcements?" ”

"Yes, I got the beacon signal and went." Peter replied.

"Perfect." The old wise man mixed in a Latin phrase, and then he quickly made a judgment, "Zahas came to attack, and the inside lines of the Pisa and Reladuck Chamber of Commerce have not been reported, which indicates that the emperor has only hired this Turkic pirate operation alone, and even with the help of Cyprus, I estimate that the scale is only three thousand to five thousand, and with the men who guard the ships, only seventy percent of the people who went ashore to besiege it." ”

"But there are only a few hundred Seleucian guards, in case ......," said Gawain, who felt a little remorseful, and could not help but feel that he had been too careless before, and that he had underestimated the Emperor's ruthlessness and ruthlessness.

"No, I have seen Seleucian City, in fact I have seen it many years ago, and now it has been enhanced and perfected by you. If Zahath's pirates go to the mouth of the river, there is a bridge that he must control, and if they go to the military port, there are two small fortresses guarding the passage to the coastal defense wall - so Caesar will have enough time to control the city defenses, plus the civilian army everywhere is rushing to help, and Caesar is deeply popular, so it is not a big problem to hold on. So you can't dance to the beat of the emperor, the big guarantor, in that case it's very bad here, the soldiers are fighting according to your appearance and banner, and you can't get out of the battle line at this critical moment. And once the battlefield of Ferro Mellon loses, it will be a total loss. Now that we are here, with our backs to Iconium and Miliosepharon, just choking the emperor's throat and neck, coupled with the success of forcing Theodoro, so that he can't hold his breath and get out of this killer move first, it is enough to see that the emperor is exhausted, and our side has an advantage on the chessboard of Zeno - as long as you take this turn, it will be your turn to get out of the real killer chess, and then the emperor will be completely passive and defeated, and the victory will be in your hands. Magrundius spoke eloquently, and then he held up his finger to conclude his plan, "This is a truly perfect game." ”

Hearing this, Gawain frowned and slowly sat back in his chair, "Are you really not going to the rescue?" After finishing speaking, still touching the rosary around his neck with some uneasiness, Peter raised his hand at this time, "Sometimes, the tests that the Lord has given us are everywhere. From now on, give up the emotional throbbing and mania and face the battlefield of Firomeron with unparalleled calm! ”

Gawain, who was sitting in the chair, put his fingers on the corners of his mouth, his pale blue eyes were motionless, he admitted in his heart the correctness of Maglendius's words, and couldn't help but recall all kinds of hard work when he was young, of course he knew the truth that "if you care, you will be in chaos" and "if your heart is in chaos, you will lose".

"Anna...... He once said to me before he went out, go back, the child is waiting for us...... Now I know that the father must be safe and secure after the victory to go back to see the child and touch her cheek. (To be continued.) )
