The smoky wind that blows through the lush mountains and fields is a beautiful bloom of colorful wildflowers in the summer.

Although more than half of Asia Minor is a barren area of dry gravel and bare rocks, at least along its coasts it is largely green and fertile with a humid climate and lush vegetation. The warm and humid Mediterranean climate always brings in the salty and moist sea breeze, bringing moist moisture to the land, which still exudes life in the hot summer.

With this salty sea breeze, a row of tall and straight figures gradually emerged from between the low hills with lush vegetation, marching forward in a neat and orderly manner. The dead leaves of the mountains and forests were trampled hard by heavy leather boots, making a rustling sound. The occasional bush gripped the equipment and backpacks of their uniforms, making the sound of swaying foliage and metal colliding.

The tall figure at the head held a military flag in his hand, and in the upper left corner of the blood red flag, a golden sickle and hammer badge were printed.

This is an army that should not exist in this era, but it has traveled through more than five hundred years of time and space and appeared here.

-- After crossing the Bosphorus, this advance party of traversers, mainly with Russian werewolves, continued along a deserted road built by the ancient Roman Empire, and in only three days, they successfully reached the outside of Nicaea.

To be honest, this "holy war" launched by the Eastern Roman Empire could not be described as a long expedition from Calsedon, where the main army was assembled, to the city of Nicaea, the first target. It's only a few tens of kilometers away. The emperor's next target in his plan, the Turkish capital of Bursa, was simply a port on the southern shore of the Marmara Sea. It is separated from Constantinople by a narrow sea area. If you sail from Constantinople in the morning, you will be able to see the walls of Bursa in the evening.

But even if it was only such a short distance, the situation he saw along the way had already made Wang Qiu feel terrified.

-- Prosperous market towns became cemeteries, and wealthy estates became cemeteries. The corpses were piled up on the road and rotted and stinky, with no one to pick up and bury.

Men, women, the elderly, and children were all trembling in the midst of a terrible illness, not knowing when death would come.

In the face of an irresistible disease. The ruling order of the Turks in Asia Minor completely collapsed. The Turkish magnates abandoned their corpse-strewn towns and took refuge in fortresses and villas in remote mountains. Greek Christians marched to Constantinople with their children to Hagia Sophie, the city of God. Go in search of the "holy water", "holy oil" and "holy bread" that are said to contain divine powers and cure all diseases.

Muslim civilians, who do not want to renounce their faith and turn to the pagan gods for help, can only pray silently in mosques or in their homes for Allah's salvation - obviously. Doing so is more than a little psychological comfort. It doesn't have any epidemic prevention effect at all.

No matter what choice they make, in the face of the god of death that may come at any time, they no longer have the fighting spirit to take up arms and fight.

Therefore, the traversers did not encounter any resistance at all, and made their way all the way to the outskirts of Nicaea City.

After passing through several camps littered with rotting corpses, they finally found a living person to ask for information about - Isaac, a dying minor nobleman of Nicaea lying in a filthy shack. When he was dragged out of the moldy haystack, the smell of feces, urine and mildew. Immediately, Wang Qiu couldn't help frowning, and several women in the team. I couldn't help pinching my nose with disgust.

However, before the interrogation, Wang Qiu and the others had to solve a very troublesome language problem - everyone present spoke very bad Greek, and medieval Greek was also very different from modern Greek...... For specific information, please refer to ancient Chinese and modern Chinese.

Fortunately, Wang Qiu happened to have an all-powerful human flesh translator by his side—this was also the biggest takeaway from his last interdimensional adventure.

“…… Syllable! Snow Lady Radian, get ready to cast a translation spell! ”

Looking at the unkempt survivor in front of him, Wang Qiu snapped his fingers very casually, and commanded softly to his girlfriend who was following him, the Aztec priestess who was not used to this medieval Greek costume on her body.

And the Aztec princess Snow Lady Delan also nodded obediently, and then reached out and pulled a Greek woman who was quite flamboyant, but her face was pale because of the rotting corpses everywhere, and she pressed the other party regardless of it, kissed her lips, and exchanged a long, moist and hot French kiss...... Then, she turned around again and pressed the moist red lips that had exchanged saliva against Wang Qiu's lips......

- Well, as an Aztec priestess who served Icahir, the goddess of the moon, floods, and rainbows, Princess Snow Celestia had the wonderful ability to understand the language of others through the exchange of bodily fluids.

For example, after drinking Wang Qiu's blood, Yukihime Dailan completely mastered Chinese, textbook English, and Wang Qiu's self-taught half-hung Japanese. Conversely, after drinking the blood of Yukihime Delan, others can also understand the various languages she masters, but the effect can only last from a few days to ten days. In addition, in addition to drinking the caster's blood, if you can have a wet kiss with Yukime Delan and exchange saliva, you can achieve a similar effect on other people. However, if only kissing is used in exchange for saliva, the effect of "fluent language" will only last for a few hours.

It is a pity that the Chinese, Japanese, and Russian travelers who came to the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century were not very good at Greek, so they could only find a way to find a way from the local natives of this plane. And Wang Qiu, who is very jealous, can't accept letting his girlfriend kiss other men twice in three days...... Fortunately, among the more than 10,000 "holy war army" hastily put together by Constantine XI, there was a "women's march" composed of Constantinople prostitutes, nuns and widows (the words given to them by the former prime minister Kotoriyu Mashiro), and the initiator and leader was Diolena, a red-carded prostitute who claimed to be a descendant of the crusaders - so, at the strong request of Wang Qiu, Constantine XI incorporated this "women's march" of dozens into the advance team, and called the "Varangian Guard" The travelers under the guise set off together.

-- For soldiers fighting for their lives on the battlefield, a woman's embrace is undoubtedly the best consolation to vent excess energy. If you are overstressed for a long time, many soldiers will go crazy sooner or later. So, in medieval Europe, it was also common for the army to have a regiment of prostitutes behind their butts. But it is a bit jaw-dropping to let the advance team, which is the vanguard of the whole army, also go out with prostitutes.

And during this short three-day journey, Diolena, the commander of the "Women's Advance Team", who originally carried a sword and wanted to fight for God, was also disappointed to find that all she could do in the advance team seemed to be to pick up customers and sell meat, and she still received female customers......

In any case, after solving the translation problem, through a brief interrogation, Wang Qiu obtained a piece of information that stunned him.

“…… What the? The Turkish Pasha, who originally ruled the city of Nicaea, has now abandoned the city and fled? (To be continued.) )
