But apart from his grandfather, the little sunfish was not without anyone else - the three Animei girls sent by Gawain, who were completely carefree compared to the owners of the manor - two were throwing lamb leg bones in the shade of the forest garden, and the other was holding a Mediterranean farmer's straw hat that was about to be blown up by the sea breeze, and was squatting in the grass picking beautiful flowers.
Hey, there's not a single one that can fight.
Now Agnes admits in her heart that a brave warrior like the brown bear can still protect others in times of crisis.
A shadow shrouded the clothes and hair of the little sunfish that was thinking, and then it got bigger and bigger, she raised her head, and the originally golden autumn sun was swallowed up by a large area of dark clouds at some point, the whole heaven, earth and ocean turned black, and the wind also swept from the sea, and the little sunfish stood up, and the grass that was blown kept blowing her feet under the corners of her skirt. At this moment, the lighthouse at the end of the headland suddenly burst into flames, and not far from the water, Roman warships with skews passed in front of the port of Mytilene, and sailors in blue coats on the masts were waving their flags and signaling to the shore.
"In the direction of Seleucia, there is a giant Kobo Hemomond that His Majesty the Emperor wants to capture, and under the protection of the warship of the Tarsus traitors, he is making a surprise attack in the direction of Rhodes. As the elite orphaned archers to whom the emperor belongs, it is time for us to make a contribution! Soon, on the edge of the cliff outside Plani Manor, fifty Praetorian Guard archers lined up, and the leading guard officer spoke impassionedly, "There are only old men and girls in this manor who need our supervision, and we don't need so many manpower, just leave twelve people in the watchtower here." ”
After saying this, the other Praetorian Guard archers, dressed in half-length armor made of willow leaf armor, covered with embroidered crimson robes, carrying shields and cylindrical leather arrows, walked down the road of the headland in an orderly manner, and boarded the ships under the clouds and strong winds. Behind the window of the manor's barn, Agnes disappeared into the buildings and shadows, her eyes fixed on the movements of the Praetorian Guard's archers, "Captain is thirty-eight...... There was a lieutenant captain with eleven soldiers left in the tower of the manor......"
Two days later the wind had subsided, but the clouds and cloudiness were still on, and the sea was becoming less and less calm, and in the evening a ship with a broken mast, half of its sails burned, sailed into the harbor of Mytilene in a state of confusion, and many fishermen, when they approached the wharf, saw that half of the deck of the ship was oarsmen, and the other half was full of dead and wounded men, some of whom had pointed wooden darts and arrows stuck in them, and some of them had their heads split by flying stones, and blood was bubbling down the cracks in the deck of the ship. The wounded were also lying next to them, moaning and praying one after another.
"Dozens of warships are fighting in the Gulf of Atalya, I have never seen such a terrifying formation, I had never known that there were ships like that in Tarsus—they were as tall as fortresses. The ships of the emperor and the generals were sunk many times, hundreds of people died, the Grand Count of the Navy fled back to Atalya, many wounded were sent along the road to Rhodes, Caios, Samos, where they could not be accommodated, and the enemy's light ships were still chasing and killing us and setting fires, and now the whole of Atalia Bay was occupied by them, it was terrible! The captain pointed to the dead and wounded and pools of blood on the deck, and shouted in horror to the fishermen who had come to help, and it seemed that he was also dutiful, and drove the boat for more than a day and a night, and insisted on sending the wounded in his hands to the populous island of Respos.
"Hey, why don't you just send it to Smyrna?" Fishermen and local residents asked questions while carrying the wounded to the shore.
Then the captain said angrily, "I am a merchant ship requisitioned by your majesty, and it is flying the flag of our Romans, but now that Caios and Smyrna are colonies of the Italians, they not only did not come to my rescue, but also drove me away with a catapult, and they were really a swarm of toads in the swamp." After hearing this, everyone was also very angry, saying whose world is this holy sea? Our Roman's, or the Italian merchants'!
The twelve archers in the watchtower also ran out, and when they saw that two of the wounded who had been carried over and were dying, they were all in high spirits, shouting, and snatching them up and carrying them into the spacious courtyard of the Prani Manor.
There, the three Ani maidens were frightened and screamed, but soon Magrundius and Agnes came out calmly and offered to take up the responsibility of treating the wounded of the two archers.
Soon, the two wounded were carried to the bed board under the corridor, Agnes lit the lamp, and the grandfather squinted and took out the box full of precision instruments, as well as jars and glass bottles containing various potions and ointments, and then began to wipe the wounds of the wounded with a muslin dipped in the medicine.
The archers and arrows retreated gratefully to the gate of the manor, consciously standing guard for the pair of grandfathers and grandsons.
At this moment, Pucrepps and his nephew, carrying some inexplicable gifts, and the armed serfs he had privately raised, came to the gate, and cried out to Maglendius to come out and talk about the marriage and dowry between his granddaughter and his nephew.
"Get out of here!" The deputy captain of the bow and arrow forbidden soldier standing at the door suddenly pulled out a single-edged saber and put it on the butler's neck, and said viciously.
Uncle and nephew Pukripps were so frightened that they ran back......
The fiasco in the Gulf of Atalia made Alexios, who learned the news, furious, "When did Gawain's fleet grow so strong?" Not only did the Maldivins act as sailors for him, but they were also said to have a new type of fortress warship, with wheel drives and Khitan fire firing gear on them. He had defeated Apsomatus, and now Assassidus, and it was clear that he would crush my few naval forces so that Bohemond could return to Apulia in peace. Could it be that my killer weapon has to be used now? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the information that has just been sent from Atali!" The Imperial Ink Officer hurriedly walked in.
As a result, this information gave the emperor even greater consternation, "What! In the previous naval battle, Bohemond, who tried to escape by boat in the Gawain fleet, was shot dead by our sailors? ”
"At least that's what Gawain said to His Highness Brenús, saying that Bohemond had a bad fate, though he was of high standing, and that he had been killed by a stray arrow in the middle of the water, and that he had now been retracted into a coffin. Gawain also wanted the emperor to release Bohemond's coffin so that it could be shipped back to his hometown of Aversa for burial. (To be continued.)
