Hundreds of Magyars were driven away in front of the meandering Sava River, and although their princely leaders had converted to Christianity many years earlier, they were still unformally baptized on the fringes of Hungary and Bulgaria, like these ordinary tribesmen.

Now Gawain has given them this opportunity, but it is always for the good of this group of people, otherwise the army of pilgrims who occupy the periphery of Zemon City will not hesitate to slaughter them casually in the name of "paganism".

"My army is followed by a large number of priests and priests who are good enough to conduct ceremonies." Soon, Gawain asked the soldiers to pull the Magyars to the edge of the river, and hastily completed the baptism with the robes of the priests on one side and the swords in the hands of the soldiers, and gave them some names common in the church, and then told them to take up bows and spears, and take their horses, and formed a new company of light cavalry of 400 men, called the "Saint-Cyril Cavalry Company", which mainly assisted the Lombard light spear cavalry and served as cover, search, and pursuit of the battlefield.

At the same time, Gawain walked into the duke's mansion, which had been completely burned and ransacked, and under the collapsed doorway and smoky walls, dozens of beheaded heads of Zemon dignitaries were piled up, including Duke Nikita's concubine, his court deacons and messengers, and famous barons. On one side, sitting was Gottschalke, who had fallen into a state of madness, he kept shaking his hands, shouting loudly to congratulate his great victory, the great achievement of slaughtering heretics and dishonest people, after seeing Gawain, he was even more excited, directly bowed under Gawain's boots and kept kissing, singing that Gawain was "a great warrior who is armed, and has been protected by the holy spear, the holy sword, and the glory of the Lord." And the deeds in Zemon City at this moment are but an inconspicuous cornerstone under the majestic Tower of Babel in the future."

It was clear that Gawain didn't have much affection for this magic stick. He only asked about the identities of the heads, and then Gottschalke did not regard himself as an outsider. "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, please put all these heads in mule carts and boats, and send them to the court of King Koroman of Hungary, and use them as a force to intimidate, so that the whole kingdom of the other side will fall apart, and we will take the opportunity to arrange for the separation of the main roads and fortresses, and the rest of the pilgrims will be unhindered."

"You don't have to." Gawain's words were a bit harsh, but the Gottschalk didn't react in any anger, and after listening to Gawain's opinion, he knelt down again. It is about completely treating Gawain as a "god" in this world, and only his head is the first to look forward.

So Gawain sighed and said to the servants around him, these are innocent people who have not committed their crimes to death, since the Duke of Nikita has been given enough punishment, then these corpses and heads will be stitched together and buried properly, "The corpses floating in the Sava River will speak for themselves." In addition, in my capacity as priesthood, I sent a letter of condemnation to King Coroman. ”

"It's just perfect, Your Excellency!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Gottschalk trembled with excitement. Kissing Gawain's boots again, "It's a fox-like diplomacy and a lion-like balancing technique." It's an eye-opener for people like me! ”

A few days later, letters from the priesthood were sent to the Hungarian royal palace. King Coroman was horrified, he did not know that Guz and Nikita had committed such a bold crime. This is to offend the whole Frankish world, and the majesty of the Holy See is great, and the kingdom may indeed be destroyed by it—he hastily sent three letters, one to apologize to the Holy See, one to explain to Gawain, and one to Duke Godfrey, who has arrived at the gate of the western border of Hungary, and who is coming with an elite expeditionary force, and if Godfrey is angered by this, then the kingdom will really be doomed.

Soon, Guzi also abandoned Belgrade Castle and wandered to the barren land of Wallachia, where he disappeared, tantamount to self-apologies.

On the edge of the moor, Gawain personally stood on his horse to greet him, and countless rudimentary flagpoles and crosses were erected in front of the sky, and the remaining sixty or seventy thousand pilgrims, led by Peter himself, came like gravel in the sea, and they had lost nearly 10,000 lives in the middle of the way, but soon many believers joined in temporarily, as if they would never be exhausted

Subsequently, the pilgrims completely demolished the castles of Zemun and Belgrade, and rushed to the important city of Niš, on the way Gawain strictly controlled the Dalian team, and always kept a distance of three guli from the pilgrim brigade under the pretext of being the avant-garde, because he saw that most of the people of this procession, except for a small number of knights and warriors, were noisy and undisciplined, and they would kill each other with their swords over a trivial matter, and they would also leave their wives, companions, and children who had made great wishes to accompany them on the road halfway. Escape with a dusty woman who has blended in with the team.

As soon as this large and disorganized procession arrived in the city of Niš, the Grand Duke Tapan fled by night, for the "prestige" of the pilgrim army for the slaughter of the city of Zemun had spread throughout Wallachia and Bulgaria.

In this way, Gawain can only take over Nish.

And the city of Niš is not far from Adrianople.

Hearing that Emperor Alexios had just suppressed the Paulese rebellion there, and that the garrison had 30,000 troops, Peter approached Gawain to discuss the matter, and Gawain was afraid that the Emperor would do something to him.

In addition to Gawain and his henchmen, the council was attended by the knights and lords who followed Peter: Walter, Gottschalke, and Birrell, as well as two knighthoods, the knight of the Château de Blois, and the squire of Orleans, Fourche.

Among them, Gawain persuaded Peter, insisting that we had won the division, but the discipline of the troops was very chaotic, and that the previous attack in Hungary was of course the conspiracy of the two evil dukes, Nikita and Guz, but it was also important for us to give others the truth. Gawain then took out the paperwork, on which he recorded in detail the atrocities committed by the pilgrims along the way, such as stealing wine, robbing the mill, seducing women, etc.

"If we continue like this, I am afraid that after entering the Thrace River, it will give the Roman emperor an excuse to exterminate us, and then it will not be as easy to deal with Hungary as it is." Gawain was worried.

Peter nodded his head repeatedly, of course he knew that his righteous brother's words were for the good of the pilgrimage, but Reinold and Forzer were dismissive, and they sarcastically said to Gawain, "Your Excellency, was it not the great Pilgrim who helped you to capture the city of Zemon before?" And then, with a single letter, you frightened the king of Hungary into suing for peace, knowing that behind us is the support of the Holy See of the whole city of Rome, and those who dare to oppose us will be reduced to dust. ”

"It would be fine if we went on, but I would like to have a supervising military judge throughout the ranks to improve discipline, and to separate the men and women into camps, and for the male pilgrims to be taught formation and spear art during the march." Gawain pleaded sincerely. (To be continued.) )
