As he spoke, under the gaze of thousands of soldiers, Gawain's Praetorian Guard's standard-bearer, Diem. Goliath sent the purple banners that had been given to Emperor Komnenos one by one into the stables next to the construction site of St. Paul's Cathedral, where they were subjected to the dirt of excrement and dust.

Then Gawain clenched his fists across his chest, and several banners of the Labran Cross on a black background rose behind him, "From now on, we will no longer be the frontier army of Imperial Anatolia, but will be renamed the 'John the Baptist and the Great Hospital Guard of the Holy Apostle Paul', and I will no longer be the Grand Duke of the Empire but the Grand Patron and Grand Consul." In addition, our main city will gradually move from Seleucia to Tarsus, the hometown of the Holy Apostle Paul and the central temple of the activities of the Guardians. Our duty will be engraved on the stone tablets of the cathedral in the future, that is, to conquer the infidels with fire and sword, to expel their locusts from the plateau and from Cilicia and Trab, and to restore the glory of the Lord! ”

"Restore the glory of the Lord!" The soldiers threw their arms together and shouted again, countless arms raised powerfully in front of Gawain's eyes.

"From now on, the flag of the Grand Commander and the flag of the Red Hand Cavalry will remain unchanged, and the battalion flags and the flame tongue flag of the rest of the bandas will be changed according to the color of the flag behind me. The whole army, marching towards Seleucia, swore to the death to protect the homeland of the Guardians and the Holy Apostles, and resist any enemy of the Lord. In the midst of the frenzied shouts, Gawain's red feathers swayed up and down, and he turned over and rode on the black Sabina, and the sun shone down the street, dyeing his brown beard very majestically.

Two days later, Gawain and his two brigades had arrived at the bridge outside Seleucia, and at this moment, two horsemen of the People's Army, covered in sweat, galloped in front of him with banners, "Your Highness the Lord Patron, Your Highness the Princess in Purple has an urgent message. ”

Gawain on horseback unfolded the letterhead, "What? On the west side of Alalmanburg, an enemy camp appeared, and the princess temporarily judged that the situation of the troops was unclear. Now is the time of anxiety, what else is needed? Tell the princess that I will convene a military council here at once, and decide the direction of the decisive battle at once, and I will not go into the city to meet her. ”

Then the infantry of the two brigades sat and rested on the ground in accordance with the rules of the marching column, carrying weapons such as spears or halberds of large infantry, and the estates and fields in the hills and flats of Seleucia, and the common people and peasants calmly worked in places within the reach of the army, which was the instruction that Gawain often requested, "The army marches and fights in its own territory, and when the people do not feel the existence of the army at all, it is the army of the truly excellent elite." ”

The guards and the Red Hand cavalry surrounded the makeshift tents, and the horses were all tethered outside, and Gawain gathered together Merlot, Gregor, Parni, Pragit, and other generals, "Now Anna's information has arrived, and the Imperial army camp has appeared in the direction of Alalmanburg, the number and strength of which are unknown; And the Milio Sefalon camp, the commander of the Imperial Southern Army is really Emperor Komnenos, there are many field battles taking place around it, the emperor is very clever and shrewd in using troops, and has uprooted several strongholds of our army around the camp, occupying most of the water streams. And it is said that the Imperial Northern Army, which is gathered in the direction of the city of Konya, is also drawing out elite troops and preparing to take a detour to the flank and rear of the Milio Sefalon camp. ”

"Then the current situation is that the emperor's imperial army is attacking Seleucia in three directions. But the main target is still Milio Sepharon. Melo gestured with his hand at the sand table, and then after he finished speaking, he looked at the generals waiting for instructions around him, and then looked at the great patron who was sitting on a chair and dangling the horse's head scepter, and felt that something was wrong, and swallowed back the judgment that "the main force of our army must gallop to the camp of Milio Sefalon as soon as possible". Then, the camping manager paced two steps around the sand table and continued to analyze, "Is the enemy army in the direction of Alalmanburg the main attack a surprise attack, or is it a diversion and confusion? ”

At this time, Gao Wen laughed, "Everyone should know that the emperor is a commander who is more cunning than a fox, because when hunting, hunters can only return with wisdom beyond foxes." I don't have to care too much about it, because—" As he spoke, Gawain stood up and slammed his scepter on the sand table, "No matter how many people the Emperor sends to attack, I will only solve them all the way, and since the enemy army that has appeared in Alalmanburg is the first to appear in front of my sword, whether this road is a real attack or a feint, then we will deal with them first-The Emperor is full of thought that he is a hunter, but we will also hunt him as a fox!" ”

"Yes!" All the generals stood up and replied.

Then, Gawain crossed his waist with one hand, and swiped his scepter with the other hand: "Dim and Muzafiadin, you two supervise my two Praetorian Guard detachments, 'Farov' and 'Milutin', a total of 300 men, set off now, carry all the battle flags and march quickly, the goal is to camp Milio Sefalon, to boost the fighting spirit of Billel and the Holy Sister, and to replenish their strength. And told the Holy Sister not to panic, no matter how the emperor on the other side moves, it is the best policy to hold the supply line of the camp and the Mute River Valley. ”

"The chief patron of the present was to take command of all the cavalry, and at the second hour of the morning of the following day, he arrived at the front of Alalmanburg on time to resist the battle, with Gregor's brigade of Gemegis behind me as the rearguard, and Pragit and Parni with their logistical companies marched around the fortress between the big and the small towns, and the banners were silent; And Merlot took all the infantry detachments of the Red Hand Brigade from the small city to the enemy's flank and lurked, and after our signal flag was raised, he went down the mountain with all his strength to attack - remember, Merlot's combat mission is the most critical, so we must make good use of scouts to observe, stealth military discipline must be strict and accurate, and the charge must be brave and decisive. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will prove that I can be in charge of myself." Wesat. Melo assured.

Finally, Gawain raised his scepter and turned to face everyone, "Remember, our attack is to kill the enemy in the direction of Alalmanburg to the ground, I will go with one punch first, lest a hundred punches come, whether they are three hundred, or three thousand, or even thirty thousand, and they will be defeated and annihilated by this road." Alalman and Seleucia will be worry-free, and then we will rush to the camp! ”

Fifteen centuries west of Alalmanburg, it happened to be the 7,000 soldiers and horses of General Xhosa, after he arrived in Panphia, he received the emperor's secret order and shook a shot, quietly turned south to the city of Atalya, and then along the long and narrow bay and the coastal road between the mountains, arrived at the imperial front fortress Alanya opposite to Alalmanburg, which was the emperor's "plan", first raised his voice to fight Konya, but in fact he was to fight Milio Sepharon; But at the same time as fighting Milio Sepharon, he had a detachment raid on Aralmanburg and rush into the rear of Gawain and Anna; It's really a three-pronged strategy, at least that's what the emperor thinks.
