People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 264 The call with Anna (thanks to the leader of the black-eyed boss)

Hannya, who was squatting by the spring to wash the sheets, suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

Jeanna's voice sounded immediately: "Tsk, why did you remember to wash the sheets? Leave it to the maids. They have a lot of leisure all day long."

Hannya's movements paused slightly, and then continued to scrub.

Jeanna pretended to be nonchalant and moved closer, seeing that there were no bloodstains of unknown origin on the bed sheet, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, if I were an adult, I wouldn't want to wash the sheets with your delicate fingers."

Banruo raised his head, his eyes were cold: "If you are really bored, I will persuade the adults to let you go back to train recruits."

Jeanna swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"How can I be free, I have to inspect those armored bow cavalry who have just changed jobs."

She made a perfunctory sentence and fled the scene in a hurry.

The corner of Banruo's mouth curled up slightly: "Cunning woman."

...

Sending off the Teutonic Knights, Lothar simply took a shower, washed off the sweat, took out the coat of arms, and injected spiritual power: "Hey, is it convenient now?"

"Hold on."

The voices from over there were a little noisy, as if they were arguing about something.

After a long time, the voice became clear.

Anna was obviously still angry, and cursed: "That bastard Isaac Komnenos, it's okay to be defeated in the battle with the Armenians, but he dared to recruit a group of pirates and mercenaries, relying on one A forged document, occupying Nicosia, blatantly declaring himself Emperor of the Empire."

"Cyprus?"

Lothar reacted for a moment before realizing that Nicosia should refer to a large city on the island of Cyprus.

The place names of this era are too confusing for him, such as Nicaea and Nicomedia.

"It's just scabies. The navy of the Eastern Empire won't even be able to take down Cyprus, right?"

Anna paused slightly.

It really is so.

Although the navy of the Eastern Empire was not weak, after Isaac Komnenos occupied Cyprus Island, he held a large amount of gold and silver in his hands. It was unlikely that he wanted to build a large fleet, but he had to hire a fleet for himself. Combat is still fine.

She snorted a few words, didn't bring up the topic again, but asked, "I heard that you have formed a new cavalry team under your command?"

Lothar was a little surprised and said: "Your news is well-informed."

Anna considered the words: "Of course, Lothar, if I tell you that in your territory, there is a citizen who is actually a member of our association, will you be angry?"

Lothar shook his head and said, "Of course not—as long as he pays taxes legally, he is my good citizen."

Anna was relieved, and her tone became relaxed again: "Speaking of which, you not only have a heavy infantry under your command that resembles the equipment of the Varangian guards.

There is also a square shield soldier who looks like an imperial army in the ancient empire.

Now another team of equipped cavalry has been added-you must know that after the battles of Manzikot and Durazzo, even the empire did not have a serious sequence of equipped cavalry. "

Anna teased: "You are really keen to restore the former glory of the empire, so I think you should be on our side."

Lothar chuckled and said, "Oh, it's just a coincidence. I'm not interested in reviving the empire. That's the cause of you Greeks."

Anna muttered softly, "It's not that the barbarians have never been emperors."

She paused slightly, and said again: "What, do you want to be a mercenary and take Cyprus for us, and I will give you a considerable reward."

"I'm not interested. I'm the count of the frontiers of Jordan, and I'm a high-ranking and powerful man. I'm not a landless wandering nobleman. How could I be a mercenary?"

Lothar paused slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, you haven't paid back what you owe me."

If it was a close, low-intensity war, he might still be willing to send troops to fight to sharpen his skills, but attacking Cyprus was fine.

Cyprus is one of the richest sources of wealth in the Eastern Empire, and is an extremely important producer of wheat, olive oil, copper mines, and cheese.

At the same time, it is located in the Mediterranean trade hub, and it is a rare source of income for the empire that still pays taxes directly to the empire's center.

Even if it wins here, it is impossible for the Eastern Empire to reward Lothar as a territory.

Moreover, Lothar has no ability to take care of the two sea areas.

If it was just a reward of some money, Lothar hadn't planned to sell the lives of his soldiers to earn the money.

Anna jokingly said, "Oh, how about handing me over to you?"

"no."

Lothar replied coldly.

If he said that he might have been a little moved before, but now, he is very Buddhist.

Sage Mode has been activated.

"I advise you to recover the territory of Asia Minor as soon as possible. Many Latin scholars have now begun to scorn you as the Aegean Empire or the Constantinople Empire."

Lothar very much hopes that the Eastern Empire can make some moves, which will draw Saladin's attention even more.

Compared with the Crusaders in Jerusalem, the Eastern Empire is undoubtedly a more formidable opponent.

Anna frowned when she heard it: "Where did you hear it? It's shameless!"

Just like the Roman Empire, the empire of this world is the orthodox empire, and there is no Byzantine name.

Lothar said seriously: "I don't think there is anything wrong with what they said. At this stage, you and I should be allies. It is the glorious mission of you and my Christian people to eliminate the Turkic forces in Asia Minor and fight against the Zoroastrian forces. "

"Oh, I didn't realize that you still have such a pious side before."

Anna joked, and couldn't help but sigh: "I know Asia Minor is very important, but Lothar, the empire has no shortage of elite soldiers, only you are missing a strong general, do you really plan to change your allegiance to the monarch? I guarantee you will rise to the top of."

"No."

Lothar said firmly.

Maybe if he changes his family now, he will soon rise to become a great prince.

But he is not a white-eyed wolf.

Moreover, compared with the more simple and straight-forward Franks, the Greeks really have too many eyes, or how can they be called "Greek conspiracy"?

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"Transfer Nishaya for me, I want to sell her a tyrannical dragon core."

Lothar had already asked Marles that this thing should be used to make magic items, but that was obviously beyond the blacksmith's ability.

Anna's voice paused for a moment, and then sounded again: "So, you guys really killed that tyrannical dragon in the past few days?"

"Well, it didn't take much time to kill it, it was wasted on the way."

"Leave this to me. I'll let Nishaya rush over immediately. How about I give you [-] Suledes gold coins and a magic book?"

"A very reasonable price. The magic book requires fire elements."

Lothar readily agreed.

"Well then, Hallelujah."

Lothar was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile, "Hallelujah."

This is a prayer in praise of the Heavenly Father. Anna said goodbye to Lothar with this sentence, which was obviously ironic.

In the evening, the magic scroll and a heavy box of gold coins were delivered.

Lothar had no intention of saving the money, but with a big wave of his hand, it was all spent on Celinina, Jeanna, Fringila, and Prajna.

Raised their level to sixty.

Just about to study the magic tome in his hand, Prajna's cold voice sounded behind him.

"Do you want to sleep together tonight?"

Look back.

Looking at the moonlight, Prajna's holy and clear face without a trace of impurities.

Lothar said without hesitation: "Sleep."
