Eagle Byzantium

Agnes made a helpless gesture, covering her forehead and eyes, "My salary will be doubled, and the title of Royal Ink Officer will be returned to me, so that I can hold it."

"Of course, no one stipulates that there can only be one ink officer in the entire Seleucia palace, right?" Gawain shamelessly vowed to let Little Sunfish "return to duty" immediately.

After several people walked down the stairs on the north side, they came to the palace under the arch bridge between the towers. According to Gawain's joke, it was "the lair of Reuben the hyena", but in good conscience, the environment of this lair was not bad: A row of narrow windows that serve both shooting holes and viewing purposes are listed on the stone walls and exposed areas. On the table, candlesticks burning with fish oil are attached to it. They are lit in rows at night, which is quite interesting. Under the light of candlelight and murals, the dining table is made of precious wood harvested from the mountains of Taurus. There, Gawain and the little sunfish on the opposite side were eating and talking about matters.

This is a very relaxed atmosphere. Once it is drawn up, Little Sunfish, the "part-time ink officer" will formulate the document format, and what follows is extremely boring work (so although Little Sunfish hates Gawain for depriving her of her She has the position of Royal Ink Officer, but in terms of workload, she should thank the big brown bear. Only a girl like Hertomia can really do this kind of job), so Yi Gawain also promised the little sunfish, "Fanka City is temporarily listed as the camp for our army to march north. You don't need to accompany any military expeditions anymore. You can send the takeover documents and letters here with peace of mind. You will work three hours a day, and the rest of the time , there is a very beautiful hunting ground here, I will hand over half of the guard to you, you can go hunting if you like, go fishing if you like, or play in the snow. "

Then the "part-time officer" asked for important information, "How are you going to arrange the four thousand five hundred Armenian captive soldiers to form a separate 'logistics brigade'? What is the nature of this brigade?"

Gawain used an iron fork to fork the barbecue and rolled in the white salt and spices, and then chewed a few mouthfuls. "I am not planning to set up a separate brigade. If the Armenian soldiers mutiny collectively on the battlefield, my war situation will be seriously affected." Break them up - three-wing brigades, one for each brigade. An independent 'Armenian Banda Detachment'. Each detachment has 1,200 people, half of whom are infantry spearmen, usually archers. They receive the same training subjects as the garrisons and are responsible for escorting baggage and handling. Logistics, acting as a reserve when necessary; the remaining nine hundred people, They were assigned horses to accompany the red-handed cavalry. Each company was divided into five squadrons with 450 men. Their weapons were unified as horse bows and horse arrows. They were responsible for the company's search, security and light-armed attacks - all Armenian detachments. , the cavalry squadron all implemented the system of sitting together, and one person escaped If there is any betrayal, the entire team will be executed. Faced with the requests and orders of regular brigade soldiers or sacred cavalry, they must accept. If there is any injustice, they will have the opportunity to complain directly in front of me once a month. If the number of appeal rights cannot be used up this month, they can be accumulated and used.”

"They will gradually get used to it and tolerate it, and then they will become slave soldiers of Seleucia." Little Sunfish added, "You have to give them alfalfa to eat, and you have to whip them twice when they are slacking off." It's hard to imagine this. It was the words spoken by a girl from a famous aristocratic family, and she gradually became similar to Anna.

Then, Gawain shook the tip of his fork slightly, "Compared to this, there is a more urgent clerical order. You will work hard tonight to draft it as soon as possible. That is to appoint Mero and Monomaku As the commander-in-chief and deputy commander, Si drew out 600 red-handed cavalry and 300 Jinat cavalry, each of whom returned It is two war horses. In addition, all 900 Armenian logistics troops directly under me will be allocated to this advance team, plus 400 pack animals, so that they can set off as soon as possible to seize the castle of Melitene. The sooner the better, we. We have to hurry up before everyone else and occupy this key place while it’s snowing.”

"you mean?"

Facing the little sunfish's question, Gawain nodded and pointed at the gray-haired girl with the tip of his fork, "Not everyone is willing to have a sharp sword hanging above their head. In addition, the path of Merlo's advance team is not It’s easy to walk. The original road has been dug up by Reuben. It is possible that the team can only take the mountain road, and ordinary baggage trucks will not work there. "You should understand what I mean."

"This is asking me to make carriages for mountain roads again. I want to increase the price!"

"It's really an unreasonable entanglement. How about this - I will give you two or three of the most beautiful Armenian noble girls. They are all crying now and want to save their lives. So they don't care whether the person they sleep with is a man. They are still women, maybe they are more accepting of the latter." Gawain suddenly said this, obviously wanting to give Agnes "the queen." Palace." On the contrary, Agnes was dumbfounded, and then she subconsciously put it under the table and covered her skirt, "Well... who do you think I am... I am that Is this a person with abnormal orientation? No! I am a devout Orthodox Christian." While she was defending, her forehead was shining with wisdom and she was covered in sweat.

When she was arguing, Gawain's finger had already pushed to the center of the table, with a metallic friction sound. Agnes frowned and looked at the candlelight. There was a key ring around the other party's finger, and underneath was a very delicate key. "The three noble girls are waiting for you in the room corresponding to this key. Don't worry about the diagram of the new baggage cart. Just complete it within five days. In other words, once the order I just issued to go to the army is completed, you can go and enjoy it. Don't worry... You don't have to worry about Anna's supervision order. You see, I have generously given you the meat that you should have enjoyed. Little sunfish, who said we are good friends, don't you think so?" After finishing, Gawain raised his eyebrows, lifted his finger out of the key ring, put it back, put it on the wine glass and raised it, making a toast gesture, "Don't think about confessing at the church altar. Spring nights are short. You see, I can go to confession once every six months, which is good enough - cheers."

"Yes, yes." Agnes lost her last bottom line and also picked up the wine glass.

As a result, just as she put her lips on the edge of the cup, she heard Gawain ask casually, "The church is fine, but have you listened to my previous advice? Have you ever been to Anna..."

Gululu, gurulu, as soon as the voice fell, Gawain saw with his own eyes that the wine in the little sunfish's wine glass rolled up and filled her nose and mouth, and then the gray-haired girl's head swung back and forth like flying.

It was late in the winter night, but Agnes, wearing a light cloak, with a slightly flushed face, strode with her head held high, accompanied by two guards, and used the key to open the wooden door of the secluded room in the castle, and then pushed it open with both hands excitedly. After the rumble, the soft and warm fire in the room with a hint of sweetness came to her face, illuminating the little sunfish's elegant but lustful facial features. Under the curtains on the couch, three noble girls wearing only gauze nightgowns were sitting or lying, looking at the people in front of them, stunned.

"Come on, to Agnes Plani's wine and women!" The little sunfish laughed proudly, twisted his fake beard with one hand, walked in, and closed the wooden door heavily... (To be continued ~^~)
