Soon everything fell silent, presumably Caesar was blind.

Peter also sat down against the wall, covered in cold sweat, as if he had been executed.

Seeing the eunuch easily come out of the cave with the box in his hand, Alexios turned his head and said to the monk, "Don't give up your faith in the good world, while you still see, my friend." ”

Then, the emperor knelt in front of his mother and kissed her hand, "The child is not good, and I have to trouble you to continue to be the regent of the court and the capital, because the child will supervise the army and go out of the city to meet the heroes and enemies from all walks of life." ”

"This regency should be the easiest and shortest one." Darasina. Komnenos replied with a smile.

"The Gate of St. Atkins" then, the Emperor said, ripped off the robe he was wearing, threw it into the hands of the silver-haired veteran Harold beside him, held the twin swords of "Holy Sea" and "Athos", and walked towards the exit of the dungeon.

Cold tears rolled up Anna's neck, and she moved, and woke up, and then she heard the howl of hell's dog, and she got up, arched her hands, and came to the window lattice facing the outside, and the boundless light of the fire came through her petite body—the pilgrims, the emperor of the Empire, had gone to war under the city of Constantinople before meeting the infidels.

The Emperor and Harold stood on the highest corner tower of St. Atkins' Gate, the highest and most fortified city, where the falcon soared before Alexios' eyes, "O proudest eagle of Rome, bring me good luck in defeating my enemies!" Then the Emperor drew the sword of the Holy Sea, "The first cavalry." Rush out of the gate and intercept the enemy! ”

Then. Harold stood on the city walls, following the Emperor's orders. Waving the banner in his hand, the gates were opened, or as the iron cables were lowered, hundreds of Turkic mercenary cavalry armed with bows and arrows galloped out in an instant, and then crossed the stone bridge and faced Godfrey's men, the snow foam of horses' hooves splashed like thunder and lightning.

"Turn around, line up!" In the midst of the wind and snow. The infantry regiments on Godfrey's left flank, in accordance with the orders of their respective standard-bearers, stood their weapons and bodies facing the enemy, formed a dense line, raised their shields in front, raised their heavy pikes and swords, and issued a Germanic battle cry, behind them was the honorable Godfrey. The Duke of Lower Lorraine, who held the golden eagle scepter in his hand, was urging them with his own eyes, "Beat back all the cavalry of the Greeks!" The Duke's words had just landed. Countless arrows flying from the horses galloping on the opposite side, after throwing a perfect arc in the air, shot countless churning white dots around his banner. The minions around him screamed and fell, but Godfrey stood still. Ignoring the arrows that swept from his ears, he instead stretched out the scepter in his hand straight ahead. Calm as a mountain.

"Ahhh The soldiers in the array of infantry regiments on the front line threw their heavy pikes at the emperor's Turkic cavalry that rushed over, this pointed projectile killer, with frost, tore through the coldest air, and exploded the hottest blood on the chests of the Turkic cavalry, and then the two-handed swordsmen from Swabian and Bavaria, waving huge blades, stood out from the formation on foot, and galloped into the wilderness chasing the Turkic cavalry who turned and ran.

"All knights, step on your stirrups tightly, and see the embankment over there? If you occupy it, you will be able to hit all enemies that come out of St. Atkins' Gate. Godfrey's gaze soon saw the abandoned section of the levee, and he gave the order for the whole army to attack.

"Follow the battle banner of the princess!" All the knights and sergeants, carrying Carolingian spears and spears, or narrow cavalry swords, rounded the sides of the infantry line and rolled towards their targets

At this time, Gawain and the Red Cross Sword Battle Banner also arrived at the battlefield at the scheduled time, "The Duke of Lower Lorraine over there has already engaged the Greeks. Bramson beside him pointed to the scrambled St. Atkins Gate.

"You go, tell Your Excellency the Prince, don't go and seize the embankment, I'm afraid there will be an ambush by the emperor." Gawain hurriedly shouted.

But at this moment, Bramson had just driven his horse away, and the sound of killing suddenly sounded in front of the Tomb of St. Basil on the other side - the same countless mercenary cavalry dressed as Cumans and Pechenegs like stardust burst from several valleys and rushed over, "It's the soldiers and horses commanded by Tetisius, lined up to resist the battle!" Gawain pulled out the sword of phosphorus fire, and he naturally understood the truth that this slash-nosed general must not be taken lightly in front of him.

At this time, the Greek infantry company and sailor company under the jurisdiction of Gawain's right flank, facing the direction of Godfrey's army, also turned around under the guidance of the flag, and suddenly swung the spear in his hand diagonally, facing the cavalry driven by Tetisius, and then the sailor company behind them formed a horizontal formation, with fir bows and light crossbows in their hands ringing endlessly, and waves of arrows rained from the heads of their comrades in front of them, while the cavalry sent by Tetisius galloped left and right, scattering and gathering, consuming the arrow and arrow reserves of Gawain's army.

"Shoot sparingly, shoot sparingly!" In front of the infantry array, Billel, who was standing under the banner, kept shouting and sent a herald to ask for Gawain's tactics.

"Regardless of the tricks of Tetisius, all the cavalry, gathered around my battle flag, as a reserve force." This was Gawain's reply, and then Saint Cyril and the Baptist cavalry company, a total of nearly a thousand cavalrymen, armed with various flags and weapons, firmly united around the Grand Duke, motionless, wearing a red hand feather ornament, put the blue sword of phosphorus fire on his shoulder, and the color of his eyes reflected each other, gritting his teeth, "Godfrey, Godfrey, don't move blindly, otherwise the entire three centaurs will be cut apart, and the enemy will be given a chance." ”

On the hill in front of the imperial tomb, Tetisius and Theognes stood side by side, looking at the wilderness below, Gawain's Red Hand Infantry and Archers were in a tight and calm formation, and the cavalry were guarding Gawain's handsome banner, "Sure enough, Gawain is not so easy to be fooled, he is really a good material to lead troops." Tetisius held his whip in his hand and sighed.

"But he is now our fierce enemy, and even the kind-hearted Lord Brenus has been taken captive by him." The captor said angrily.

"Then you, Diognis, will add a little pressure to Gawain's formation. The key to this battle is that Gawain will use his elite cavalry in that direction. Tetisius said.

"That's good, I'll command the infantry attack and get Gawain moving." The commander then rode down the hillside, passing through the Byzantine army, armed with shields and spears and carrying bows and arrows, in a dense formation, stepping on long grass and snow, and approaching Gawain's infantry formation.

"When Gawain and his cavalry move, that's when we win." Almost at the same time, on the corner tower of the city gate at the ten Stadia opposite the Imperial Mausoleum, Alexios overlooked the entire battlefield situation and said the same thing. (To be continued.) )
