Eagle Byzantium

As a result, General Stratigos smiled and acted like this. Bramson and the guard warriors couldn't help but kneel down around him. Bramson was dripping with sweat, and he took off the shield from his back and held it in front of him. delivered at Gawain's feet.

The implicit meaning is the same as that of many Roman generals in the past: as long as Gawain nods, all the soldiers will lift him up with shields and support him as Caesar, Ibrato, or even the supreme emperor!

But then, as the laughter faded away, Gawain's eyes became calm again, and he calmly put down the "Crown of the Seven Ridges" slowly, "Bramson, can you keep this embarrassing move for me? I was a demon just now. Startled."

After Bramson heard this, he hurriedly pulled back the strap of the shield. The slight sound of friction with the carpet echoed in the hearts of everyone present. Not only the swordsmanship instructor shed sweat, they used their remaining energy to Just looking at General Stratigos, he saw that the other party accepted the crown calmly and put it in the suitcase of the military servant, as if he was doing something extremely reasonable. After all, the winner has the right. Seizing spoils of war.

"The rest of the treasures in this camp will be left to you to distribute freely. Also, give this big lion crown to my best friend Baldwin." Gawain calmly arranged everything.

On the quiet battlefield, Baldwin happily accepted the trophies sent by Gawain. He had even paid attention to the fact that there was a magnificent church in the city of Tarsus, and he could completely guarantee the pilgrims' visit. The conditions for the passage to Antioch required that Admar and the Holy See of the Roman city crown themselves "King of Tarsus".

Then he will push his brother to the throne of the Holy City King, and the Eustace family will surely glorify the world.

The defeated Tancred and Reuben coalition forces suffered close to 4,000 casualties, and the entire camp and baggage were lost. Then from the afternoon until the moonlit night, they were fleeing on horseback. Tancred once misunderstood the army in embarrassment. Into the mountains. Finally, with the support of the Parkads and his son, they entered the city of Issus in shock. Most of the Armenian nobles who fled from Tubersena, Lavodra, Marashi and other places also escaped into this city.

Although the defeat was tragic, this group of nobles all admired Tancred: This young general from Apulia performed much better than Prince Ruben in this battle, and not only did he not abandon his companions. He also attacked the enemy's chasing cavalry many times and rescued many people.

The soldiers of that era naturally admired the behavior of warriors the most. If the commander made some remarks about fear of death on the battlefield, even if a soldier heard it, it would spread. Suffer a lifetime of shame.

So under the instigation of Pacoad, everyone decided to reorganize the team the next day, support Tancred as the leader, abandon the city of Issus, and enter the dangerous Tubesena Castle in the Ammonos Mountains to recuperate - the local The commander, Fela, was willing to give up the fortress to Tancred.

Not even Tancred himself thought of it. It would be such a "blessing in disguise"...

On the other side, Ruben's broken troops were in groups, riding or on foot, heading upstream along the Feramis River. Many nobles fled along the Armenian Pass. When they reached the meander area, they happened to see Polybius Blechamios coming from the city of Demalicia.

Prince Reuben was ashamed and disheveled, and said to Polybi, "Don't go forward, the army has been defeated miserably. I want to go back to Fanka City to rest - you also go back to Jemalicia, stick to your guns, immediately Maybe that bastard Orson will take advantage of the victory and attack you."

Finished. The Armenian cavalry was like the tide in flood season, heading north in a congested manner. Polybi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly urged his troops to turn back, "That Orson should still be on the battlefield now, and will not come to harm me for the time being." However, after just walking a few miles, General Orson did not Come, but Gawain's rangers, under the supervision of the three generals Wesat Mero, Asba and Monomachus, more than 400 cavalry, carrying flags and weapons, filled the ground in darkness. Appearing on the slopes flanking his marching column.

This group of cavalry had been guerrillas for several days, and actually reached the area between Lamplon and Gemalicia. When they saw Polybi's weak team, without saying a word, they swarmed over with howls and screams.

There was a huge smoke and dust, and the two teams were locked together. Polybi commanded the cavalry at the rear and repelled several attacks from the opponent. However, the infantry and military servants had already fled, "Aspar Priscus, I recognize your battle flag, and you should also recognize mine!" When Polybi led the few remaining cavalry, he was After encircling the Jedi with crisscrossed streams and cliffs, the moonlight shone brightly on the earth. This man, with tears streaming down his face, shouted, or rather begged, to Asba who was chasing him, "My father raised you up with one hand. Remembering the kindness of the past, return me to your own castle so that I can be reunited with my wife."

Thinking of the kindness of the old chief and his superior, Asba, although he fought fiercely, also sighed. After all, the old chief's son had fallen to the current situation and followed Ruben to eat scraps. It was really worthy of sympathy, so Asba then stopped his cavalry and headed in the opposite direction.

"Why did you stop chasing!" Mero, who was holding the reins and waiting for the good news, said angrily to Asba who ran back, "If General Stratigos finds out, you will suffer. Punishment.”

"Whatever, camp manager, I am a person who values ​​friendship." Asba didn't care.

Melo did not continue to attack. He stared at another person, Monomarcus. Skoleru, and his eyes were giving orders, "Go and chase, don't let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Hah." Monomarcus pulled the reins, commanded his cavalry, raised his saber and chased after him. The poor Polybius was still circling there, and it seemed that he was lost in panic.

"Sir Monomarcus, I recognize you too." When he saw the chasing cavalry coming again, Polybius couldn't help but feel that the master had not abandoned him. Two enemy cavalry generals in a row were his father's old subordinates. But before he could continue to get close to him, Monomarcus drew his bow while galloping, and an arrow flew in and penetrated the side of his mount. The man screamed and fell into the stream full of bushes. Then Monomarcus came and waved his saber, and cut down several subordinates who tried to rescue Polybius.

Finally, Polybius was tied up and thrown in front of the campmaster. "Send him to General Strategos for punishment." This is what Melo said. After that, the cavalry had no intention of continuing to go deep into the enemy's territory, and they returned to Mamistral City in a mighty manner.

A correct version can be found in 16-9 Book Bar!

When they arrived at the city gate, the victorious team was having a feast - Tancred fled into the mountains, and Baldwin and Gawain's team pursued them deeply, taking the opportunity to sweep across all the plains east of Issus. All the lords surrendered, and the troops rushed to the Syrian Gate before stopping.

This also means that the door to Antioch is open. (To be continued ~^~)
