。 "The subordinates don't have any very good ideas, and the really good ideas are naturally the master you come up with. "At this moment, it is already noon, and the sun is shining straight above people's heads, making people feel dizzy. However, looking at Saladin's calm face, Zhao Haier felt chills all over his body. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he had annoyed Saladin. Plus several previous defeats. Saladin is afraid that he has already murdered himself. Naturally, I didn't dare to say a word more.

"Waste. Saladin gritted his teeth, and the two words burst out from between his teeth, burying Zhaohaier's originally lowered head even deeper.

Beneath the holy city of Jerusalem, five kilometers outside the city, the earth-shattering shouts of killing are still heard. A small assault force led by Alpha, the captain of the Death Knight, charged several times in a row towards Saladin's location. However, Saladin naturally had few loyal guards around him, and he had to be able to serve as soldiers. The five hundred Casagi guards were like Egil's knightly guards, and they focused on protecting Saladin in the middle. These Casaji guards were inferior to the Norman knights in terms of equipment, and their training and tactics were a little outdated. But there are many more knights in number.

In addition, Alpha and the other knights killed Saladin from the front of the two armies, and their physical strength was greatly depleted, their armor and weapons were also worn out to varying degrees, and the wounds on their bodies were also faintly painful. The Kasaji guards have not moved much, and the degree of physical wear and tear is not very large. Therefore......

"Damn it!

Therefore, Alpha and other knights were forced by hundreds of Casaji heavy cavalry to move further and further away from Saladin's side. Rao is how Alpha scolds angrily, how he stabs and slashes. Turning the man who killed the Kasaji heavy cavalry who was approaching him on his back could not change the fact that there were fewer and fewer knight companions beside him. Unlike the Alpha, they are physically strong, well-trained, and well-armed with weapons and armor. But at the end of the day, they're just mortals. It's like the difference between Zaku and Gundam.

That's pretty much it.

And at this moment, Saladin watched the alpha who was fighting hard in the army of ten thousand horses. I couldn't help but blurt out: "Among the infidels, there are also such brave people......"

"That man is the captain of the knightly guard under the command of the Norman Emperor Egil. He is also the strongest of all the knights under Egil's command. It's called Alpha. With the Norman Emperor conquering the north and south. He has made a lot of meritorious achievements. At this moment, the traces of Hassan, the leader of Assasin, were revealed. and no longer hide their heads and tails. It's just that his body covers the upper half of his face more, and the lower half is also a bunch of bearded appearances. In any case, it cannot be associated with being above board. But. He is worthy of being the leader of the strongest assassin group in the entire Islamic world, and he knows a lot about it, and he recognizes Alpha's identity after seeing it.

"It's a pity, why don't I have such a brave general under my command?" Saladin said as he subconsciously looked to the side, Zhao Haier's position. And Zhao Haier still lowered his head and pretended to be dead. Saladin couldn't help but be even more angry.

"Send another 100-man Kasaji Janissadian!, and kill the knight named Alpha!" Saladin then ordered—he was not one of those men in the troubled times of the East, and the contradictions between the Muslims of Islam and the Christians of Europe were irreconcilable. Therefore, although I appreciate the courage of the Alpha, I have no intention of recovering it. Instead, a Kasaji of a hundred-man team was added. Trying to kill him.

"It's damn ......" Seeing the increasing number of enemies around him, Alpha gritted his teeth and continued to hold on. However, the power of the move is not as strong as before. Not far away. It's only ten meters away from Saladin. However, it is this distance of ten meters, like a moat. It is impossible to cross. ...,

"Is it going to be wasted?!" Alpha thought very unwillingly-at this moment, as the commander-in-chief of this campaign, he did not know, although the final result of his brainless charge was not ideal. But from a strategic point of view, under the offensive of the Norman cavalry surrounded on three sides, the Arabs have completely fallen into a disadvantage. Although, because after this the Norman army did not launch any tactics to expand these advantages. But according to the current state of affairs. It's easy to win.

"It's impossible to retreat at this time...... The armies of both sides have been glued together. If you order a retreat casually, then you will collapse on all fronts. ”

On the other side, Saladin, who was also the commander-in-chief of the campaign, was much stronger than him. After climbing a high sand dune to see the current situation, the king of the desert immediately made this judgment. Now the Arab armies are in a dilemma. Advance cannot be victorious, retreat cannot be retreated. If you hold on, you can only be gradually killed by the other party. In the end, the whole army was wiped out......

"He is worthy of the Norman Emperor, worthy of the legendary invincible figure. Saladin thought that the battle was still under the command of the Norman Emperor. But in reality, this is not the case. If Egil was still on the battlefield at this moment, he would have already decided the winner with his ability. It is possible to exaggerate and capture Saladin alive......

However, at this moment, Egil is not on the battlefield. Instead, in the camp of the Crusaders, it hurts to see Sonya, who has fallen asleep after receiving treatment and frowning in her dreams.

"Don't worry, I'm here to watch. Hurry up and get out and do your business. I'm afraid those monarchs of other countries will have to wait. Nightingale, who had been watching from the side, sighed imperceptibly, and looked at the way Egil had been holding Sonya's hand tightly, and felt a little jealous in her heart.

“...... Then please. Egil turned his face and smiled slightly apologetically at Nightingale before letting go of Sonya's hand, standing up and kissing her lightly on the forehead. Then she covered Sonia with the quilt and rubbed her eyes—and then saw a wet towel handed in front of her.

"Wipe your face a little. Nightingale said.

"Hmm. Egil wiped it haphazardly, and then Nightingale snatched it up, and wiped the dust and stains off his face before letting go.

"Thank you......" said Egil.

"The emperor I know is not someone who will casually say thank you. Nightingale was not only grateful, but slightly reproachful: "And...... Our relationship doesn't seem to be the kind of person who needs to say thank you to each other. ”

“...... I'm so sorry. ”

"Sorry, no. ”

Egil hugged Nightingale tightly all of a sudden.

“...... What's wrong?"

"I was scared. Egil said, a tremor in his voice.

"Will you be afraid, too?

"Of course, as long as it's human, it's scared. Egil sighed softly, "Today, Sonia is almost going to die. I had just held her hand, and many times I had thought about what I would do if she did die. Kill Saladin, kill all the Arabs, kill the whole world, but even that won't solve anything -- she's dead, she's dead. The dead don't come back to life!" said Egil, trembling and tears welling up in her eyes: "I realized how thin she was when I held Sonya, as if she had no weight. However, she relied on such a slender and thin body to protect me again. And before that, I had really been saved by her several times -- I took all this for granted, and accepted her protection with peace of mind......

Egil paused, then asked, "Am I being selfish?"

“...... You can think of that, that's enough. Nightingale replied, "If you think of this, you'll be treated by ninety-nine percent of the scum in the world." Otherwise, why do you think we're giving ourselves to you, just because you're handsome?"

"Isn't it?" said Egil, smiling reluctantly. Then he put his arm around Nightingale's neck and kissed......

Immediately afterwards, the perfect, unflawed Egilska de Grímsson came out of the tent. It looks fresh and natural, unshaken - those things are not out there for outsiders to see.

"Sorry, guys, for keeping you waiting. Egil smiled, and apologized first to the kings and dukes of the Crusader states, for Basil II was still hungover, apparently having been choked by Egil the previous night.

"Then Your Majesty, can you tell me what happened ahead?" asked the King of France, Philip the Fox, who had rushed over from the camp behind the coalition forces more than ten kilometers away, with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Yes, of course...... Saladin, the leader of the infidels and devils, treacherously instructed his killers to assassinate me while the two sides were negotiating!" It was a little strange to the surrounding kings and dukes - in just half a day, the legendary Damascus scimitar, and the Norman emperor's iron like clay saber, the killer organization Saladin made the kings of Europe talk about tigers. And the personal guard of Egil just now...... It's no worse than an epic poem sung by a bard.

"Then Your Majesty, what do you think we should do now?" asked Charles, King of Burgundy, who was next to Philip.

"Yes, of course...... Punish the treacherous infidels, and purify Jerusalem, the holy land that has become filthy. In the midday sun, Egil's smile was unusually bright. ()
