Eagle Byzantium

When Portland and Magnu Matsumoto heard this, they looked at each other a little angrily and did not react to the eunuch's words.

But Nabuh had stayed in the palace of Palermo, where he was also fascinated by "Byzantine fashion". The fleet commander hurriedly walked up the steps and came to where Gawain was standing, and then He shortened his body by half, hugged Gawain slightly, and then kissed Gawain's left chest: this was considered the courtesy of a courtier to an emperor.

Portland and Magnusson still looked at this scene in disbelief, especially the co-king from the North, who didn't understand "why such a brown-haired, strong and mighty man like a bear, we The same kind of pirates learned this kind of pomp and behavior after coming to the land of Greece? "

Next, Gawain did not show any anger or anger. He said hello to the two of them in Oyi language, and said that he would fully comply with the instructions of the Holy See for the subsequent conquest:

I attack Tripoli;

Magnuson attacks Sidon;

Portland and Venetian fleets attack Tyre;

Everyone separates their camps and boundaries so as not to interfere with each other;

In terms of supplies, I am willing to bear one-third of your military resources as a gift.

Gawain then turned to young Portland and told him in a sad tone, "Lord Raymond has always been my brother-in-law during the Eastern Campaign. His death was a complete accident on the battlefield. I have buried him well." "Skeleton, please don't listen to any instigation from others. I will also fully assist you in your conquest." After finishing speaking, Gawain raised his hand: several palace guards turned in from the side door of the audience hall, shouldering their shoulders. Carrying a long repaired holy spear.

"This is your father's relic and a witness to his lifelong glory. I have always kept it well, hoping to return it to you at this moment."

"Don't believe anything this bear says, keep an eye on his claws and fangs!" Jordan, who was behind Portland, stepped forward and reminded through gritted teeth.

"Yes Jordan, but I must hold back out of diplomatic decency - accept the Holy Spear and accept his supplies, because my father has exhausted everything and failed to establish a territory in the east. I want to obtain the city of Tyre, Then you can show off your fists.”

Jordan said he understood completely, so Portland then walked up the steps and reluctantly gave Gawain a kiss on his left breast. Then he looked at the beautiful Anna and asked whether according to court etiquette, he should also kiss the empress's breast?

Gawain laughed kindly at the young man's clever behavior, and said of course not, for I myself will convey your respect to the empress to her after she goes to bed.

Magnuson then stepped forward. He had no quarrels or old grudges against Gawain. He was even related to Gawain's current minister Sven. He refused the kiss and just had a passionate exchange with Gawain and Sven. of fist bumps and hugs.

"In three days, take my gift to Cyprus, which is also my territory, and then you can attack the enemy."

At this time, from the far end of the ocean, golden light shot out, slowly immersed in purple red, and then gradually dimmed, dyeing the sea surface of St. Paul's New Port as red as blood, stars floating up, reflections and light mist Mixed, entangled among the masts of the forest...

In the palace mirror room, Gao Wen and his wife, who had just received guests, changed into light clothes and received several guests whose whereabouts were hidden.

Unlike the Norwegians and Provence, they arrived here via Bohemia and Hungary, and then quietly passed through half of Anatolia under the operation.

The guests were all from the Salian court.

The leader was Henry V's confidant, secretary and chronicler Ola Eckhard.

Now Gawain and Anna are also imitating the diplomacy of Brachna Palace: putting aside the exquisite "Byzantine balance" is unimaginable for Gawain, the eight-clawed spider.

Expensive utensils, porcelain vases, and ivory sculptures covered the long table in front of the couple, dazzling the Salian envoys. The attendants behind them also held many silk gowns produced in Calle Adio Castle. "These are just gifts for you envoys. I am also willing to donate 60,000 gold coins or equivalent Tasso silver coins to your country free of charge every year within three years." Gawain said generously.

When Eckhard expressed confusion about the "Tasso silver coin", Gawain handed him a beautiful coin on the spot.

Soon Eckhard's face showed his fascination with this new silver coin.

Anna took the opportunity to argue in depth: "The reason why the current Grand Marshal of the Palace of Salian Caesar's father was killed on the island of Cyprus was because Conrad attempted to occupy Salamis and make himself king."

"My respected Highness, Conrad is dead. No one can care about him anymore. There will never be a shortage of people for the position of Grand Marshal of the Palace. Any country has to face the future." Eckhard immediately spoke bluntly.

Seeing how straightforward the other party was, Gawain quickly figured out a plan in his mind.

He knew that Henry IV had passed away, and although Henry V had been instigated by the Pope and Matilda to rebel against his father, when he ascended the throne of the ruler of Germany, it would be impossible for him to reconcile with the Holy See. Really peaceful coexistence: The Holy See hopes to take over all churches and their properties in Germany, and also hopes to cancel Henry V's right to appoint bishops in the territory. This must be unacceptable to Henry V.

Correspondingly, Henry V must have inherited his father's aspirations when he was still alive - he wanted to get Matilda's Tuscany, wanted to unify powerful regions such as Saxony, Swabia, and Bavaria, and was even more eager to restore the State sovereignty over northern Italy.

This is something the Holy See cannot tolerate.

They might break out in three years, or five years, and it's a specter floating over Italy, a permanent specter.

But Gawain is more capable of seizing the opportunity.

In front of a wooden frame hanging a map of Italy made of calfskin, Gawain stopped, then turned to Eckhard and said:

"It is not convenient for me to make any promises in Tuscany. After all, it is an internal matter within your dynasty and family. However, I fully support your country's Caesar's demands for all cities north of the Po River after he went to Rome. In addition, I also support Your country’s interests in the Naples area.”

Now that Naples is within the sphere of influence of the Normans, it is obvious that Gawain's promise is to drag Henry V down.

However, Eckhard did not hesitate too much, "I will support your rights and interests in Bari, Ancona, and Foca. In addition, if there is any hostile behavior from the Kingdom of Sicily, the two countries must sincerely form a military alliance and work together to Deal with it."

"Of course, I also support your country's appeal to Bohemia on the eastern border." Gawain then dragged Hungary into the water, because this country is now John's back-up and is also competing with Henry V for this land. .

"I also support your future sphere of influence in Ragusa and Dalmatia." Eckhard simply dragged Venice into the water...
