"No, not necessarily, it's wise......" Raymond stammered the second half of the sentence after everyone had rushed down, but no one responded, "Uh, uh! ”

The Earl wanted to send a herald down to finish what he had just said, but it was too late: at this time, Becus and Arcrobolites, with dozens of elites, under the guidance of Na Neiying, suddenly came out of the cave dug through, and the ten Nikitas who had the first ten Nikitas climbed out of the floor, and without saying a word, they held a fire gun and half knelt on the ground and shot violently, knocking down many of the guards by the gate one after another, and then set fire to the fire they were carrying. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Then the Callegos Party, who reacted from the chaos in the Eagle Tower, grabbed all the weapons at hand and fought down the stairs and rooms, and in the flames and dark shadows, there was a loud bang, and many people shot at each other at close range, and then they overturned and suffered casualties at the same time.

"Feud of Ferner!" This is the mantra of the Nikitas.

"Alaralman's Feud!" The Callegos party shouted such slogans.

Swords and spears slashed and stabbed at each other, blood shadows flew intricately, and after the chaotic battle began inside the tower, the soldiers of Gawain's brigade and the border people who received the signal also began to storm from the outer wall: several counterweight ladders were pushed, and the high tops resisted the abrupt trenches or perforations in the middle waist of the tower from all directions, and the commandos crossed the ladders with their waists bent up; In front of the gate, the assault team also began to use various means to destroy it, many archers and archers surrounded the eagle tower several times, and shot at it, fire and smoke began to rise around the towering tower, it really turned into a furnace - all rooms and tower floors were fighting, so from night to dawn the next day, more than half of the defenders were killed and wounded, and the gates, halls, weapons depots and other important places on the ground floor were declared lost.

At the spiraling stairway on the upper floor, Gao Wenfang's soldiers were the first to shoot the military guns, and the shields and long and short soldiers were behind, and row after row knocked down the Callegos gangsters, fireworks thundered, corpses tumbled, paved with steps, blood spilled everywhere, soldiers' leggings or boots stepped on it and made a creaking friction sound, layer after layer, constantly approaching the location of the top floor.

As soon as Baron Burns reached the entrance of the staircase, more than a dozen remnants of the Callegos and the sergeants of Toulouse stepped forward and blocked him again, and then a roar of shooting came from below, and the group was immediately scattered, some of them were shot and fell on the stairs, and some of them hurriedly retreated to the sides of the entrance, and those who drew their swords and those who raised their swords were ready for the final hand-to-hand combat.

"Who, who asked me, my decision!? All of them are not obedient to orders. Gawain, where is Gawain, I want to see, see him......" Raymond, who shrank under the crucifix, twisted his body against the wall, and his eyes stared down on the icon of himself, as well as the holy spear and chess cloth standing on the altar, and cried out in pain, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I want to see Gawain......"

A cloud of fireworks exploded, carrying a splash of oil - the besieging soldiers below began to throw fire pots and fire tongs mixed with Armenian light oil and various poisons on them, and they also imitated the practice of the emperor's immortal army, tying the fire pots and fire tongs with rope nets, and then grabbing the tail end and throwing them.

The brave of the remnants of the defenders on the top floor began to pounce on it, ready to pick it up and throw it back, but it was too difficult: the light oil ignited very quickly, and the siege soldiers found the corners of the raised stone wall and threw it so that it could be shattered and burst into flames.

Soon the top floor of the tower glowed red, and the flames hissed like poisonous snakes licking the walls and floor, devouring the air inside, and soon some soldiers could not bear to jump from the perforation and fall into pieces of flesh.

The tragedy lasted for two hours before the fire burning on the top floor of the Eagle Tower subsided, and "there could not be anything alive in it......," a few frontier soldiers came down and reported to the generals Leotius, Decius, and Gregor, "The whole tower was a scene of living hell, and there were corpses and blood everywhere, which was terrifying." ”

Eventually, dozens of burnt corpses were found from the top of the flame-out tower, and it was difficult to find out who the real One-Eyed Count was, so Decius ordered the corpses to be buried on the spot.

There was also a burnt and twisted spearhead, with some broken spear shafts, which was also found from the altar of the prayer room and sent "to the Seleucian Armory, which may be the holy spear of Jesus, to restore it and find a beautiful spear shaft to put on." ”

All five or six hundred defenders of the Eagle Tower were killed, none survived, and the Callegos party was completely exterminated.

The tunnel raiders who stormed into it also suffered heavy casualties, and Bekus was wounded, and only one of the ten Nikitas survived.

After learning that Raymond, who had originally hesitated to surrender, was also killed in the civil battle of the Eagle Tower, Gawain was very angry at the cruelty of his general, but he was helpless. At the same time, Anna's urgent letter also arrived from Afyon:

"The nail of Lauritica has been completely removed, and now my husband can hand over the command of the Right Army to General Branas, and let him lead the whole army in advance. And you come to Afyon to meet me. Since the battle in the initial stage is over, it is up to Brenus and Dedo to be dealt with once and for all. ”

By this time, Anna had sent a letter full of arrogance and intimidation to Nan Feihong, "The ancient holy city has fallen into my hands, and the rebellious bandit Raymond and his men, who had made you and Daido fearful, were all gone. The siege took less than three weeks for my other army, and now my husband and I are waiting for you and my sister here in the old temple of Hierapolis. By now, there is no possibility of two or three monarchs coexisting in the Roman Empire, just as it is impossible for two suns to appear in the sky, and those who should turn into stars must first know their fate. ”

After the news of the fall of Laudisia, the whole Smyrna, Nanfijon, and Philadofiam were in a panic, "The little female tyrant of Tarsus is coming!" "Many of the Orthodox monasteries began to summon their servants to occupy the walls of the courtyards, many Italian merchant ships sailed out of port with restlessness, and the peasants and Plonnese landlords had their own thoughts, most of them ready to be deferential to the arrival of the new ruler, but some were still unwilling to give in, and began to flee north to the city of Prussia, where they took up the post of soldiers of Emperor John, whom they considered orthodox.

In the chaotic court of Nan Feihong, Dai Duo reluctantly held her son Theodore, sat quietly alone in the hall, and muttered to her husband who was standing opposite her, "It is meaningless to linger in the cracks." When I was a child, I was only a shadow of my sister Anna, and the court officials and the maids would say in private, behold, she and Anna looked very similar! Maybe she and Gawain will really be the sun, and I will only be a star. ”

"There will be one star that will never move by your side, and that is me." At this time, Brenus grabbed Dedo's hand and said in relief.
