Sure enough, the next day, Gawain lined up all his military horses in three large arrays in the wilderness under the emperor's barracks, with the front mounted cavalry regiment in the center and the red hand cavalry on both flanks; The Chinese army was Gawain's guards, clustered in a red-handed spear array; At the rear were cavalry-mounted servants and Armenian logisticians, guarding the makeshift camp.

Gawain then returned Brenus and more than 300 captives to the emperor, and of course Gawain expressed the greatest goodwill and respect: he called everyone a "peace talk honor guard", among which the third glorious person of the empire was the chief envoy, and he did not mention the word "prisoner of war" in the external and internal documents, but said that yesterday the great lord and the third glory of the empire, the son-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, had negotiated peace matters.

Over there, another secretary of the emperor was concocting the "Battle of Little Antioch", ready to be sent to Nicaea, Constantinople and other places on the same day, which said that the emperor's march in the thick fog was attacked by the despicable Seleucian rebels, although the emperor was forced to abandon the imperial camp for a time, but he also succeeded in shooting countless rebels with bows and arrows, thwarting their plot, and killing and capturing many of the chieftains of the enemy.

Alexios was also happy that his son-in-law had been missing for a day and returned intact (except for minor injuries), he comforted Brenus, and then asked Gawain about the "peace conditions" brought by the other party, the emperor could not remember how many times he had talked to Gawain about this matter, and he was indeed tired of the Seleucian tumor that could not be eliminated by stopping and stopping.

"The basic condition is that Gawain proposes that the imperial army abandon the siege of Miliosephron and Konya, and take the line of Afyon, Ferner, Laudisia, and Firadofiam as a chasm, and the two sides will strike and strictly abide by it for two years, and unite against the Danishmund Turks." When Brenus said Gawain's conditions, the emperor was furious, "This is simply shameless blackmail, even if I retreat, Gawain will definitely occupy the important place of Miriosephalon, and I have exhausted the tax resources of the empire with 40,000 or 50,000 troops this time, so I can't just give up halfway." Then my position and throne will be shaken. ”

"We will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" Brenus was horrified and bowed down to the emperor under the emperor's purple boots.

"I have sold two huge alum mines to the Relaya people, and in exchange for a large loan from them, as well as their fleet attack and defense agreement, the Relaya people will soon be able to provide me with fifty galleys, which is enough to block Gawain's sea route and retreat, you must hold on." The emperor had no choice but to play his own cards first.

"Please bear with your Majesty for the time being, for Your Majesty also knows that the Patriarch of the West, Odar. Urban was dying, and 200,000 Gauls and Lombards were now gathered in the area from Rome to Taranto, and they were going to continue a new crusade with a clear goal: the Sivas plateau occupied by Danishmund, and it was said that they would sweep all the way to Khorasan and capture the palace of the Turkic king Khan. Brenus was in a hurry at this time, and told the information he controlled, anyway, he had no hope of defeating Gawain for the time being, after he saw Gawain's mounted cavalry and assault troops last night, and after he and Gawain fell asleep last night, "We can follow the wisdom of the previous pilgrims' crusades, and guide these 200,000 men to follow the route of Nica-Amasra-Kastamonu-Ankara-Amasya and storm towards Danishmund, Our army took the opportunity to collect the castles and alien mercenaries in various important places in Paphragonia and the Sivas Plateau, and as long as they could recover these places, they would be able to connect with Trabzon and form a situation of outflanking Gawain. ”

"This route?" The Emperor groaned.

"Yes, we must also absorb the previous lessons, Gawain in Seleucia is relying on coercion to induce a large number of pilgrims, so that he has a strong labor and military resources, this time he can't let him repeat his old tricks, follow the route said by the previous ministers, he can recover the lost territory, and he can also prevent Gawain from fishing in troubled waters." Brenus's plan should be quite good, and the emperor couldn't help but be slightly moved, but he was unwilling to withdraw in front of Gawain again without doing anything, if this behavior was done too much, it would make the whole team form a sense of fear that "every Gawain will lose".

So the emperor paced up and down in the tent, and for a long time he said to Brenus, "Ask Gawain to present an oath of continued allegiance to his subjects and a note of begging for surrender, and promise to send troops to besiege the fort of Caisia (Kayseri) in Danishmond for the future crusade; In addition, the fleet of the Ducks and Pisans must be stationed in Smyrna, ready to be dispatched by us. In short, although this expedition did not completely wipe out the rats of Seleucia and Tarsus, I also moved my territory to the line of Afyon, and captured half of the plateau, which was quite rewarding—and if the rebels were willing to be loyal and act as my pawns, I could forgive them for a while. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servants will immediately ask the clerks to draft the relevant edict documents. In addition, Your Majesty, Gawain begs me to tell you that Apat is pregnant, and I ask you to forgive them for the time being, regardless of their blood relationship. ”

Hearing this, the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched twice, and then turned his back, "Forgiveness again, have they ever forgiven me?" Shamelessly transferred all the land belonging to the empire to the big hospital, and turned himself into the chief guarantor of the big hospital, which is tantamount to a trick to transfer my land from my left hand to my right hand. Brenus – Despite the defeat of that Xhosa idiot, I still have 40,000 troops at my disposal, and even on this front, there are more than 20,000 elites to mobilize. Gamble again, gamble again, and tell Harold to go back and continue to supervise Mirio Sepharon's camp, and continue to attack the enemy's camp. ”

Under the emperor's stubborn orders, the imperial army, which was originally facing peace, had to be driven by the generals to launch a fierce and futile attack on the sub-city defended by the Seleucian people. The Emperor's officers relied on their old experience: they took lightly armed spearmen and archers, and once again took advantage of the night to launch a tidal wave of infiltration attacks on the sub-city.

This time, however, the whole sub-city had become completely standing—not only did Gedier take the time to reorganize the people and build the gates and towers, but also set up a "corset wall" and a figure-of-eight moat, flanked by the camps and wooden fences of the Waitun People's Army, and on the battlements of the sub-city, hanging oil cans stretched out, wrapped in leather and asbestos to prevent arrows, and fish oil and tinder inside, illuminating all the edges and corners of the city as if it were day.

The Emperor's men and horses first attacked the sub-city, but their soldiers were nowhere to hide under the light of the oil tanks, and their flesh was blown up by the iron fire thrown from the city's head, and the trenches were full of mutilated corpses, Harold and Myles watched silently in front of their camp, and in their eyes, the enemy's sub-city flickered like a rising and falling thunderbolt, and their soldiers were completely driven into the terrible hellfire to die.
