In the evening, Gawain rode Quicksilver, and together with a multitude of victorious pilgrims, rushed into the vast camp of Kobha from all over the passages: the soldiers who had first invaded had been completely reduced to looting machines, and when they saw that many of the tents owned by the emirs and beys here were woven of brocade and silk, they swung their swords and cut them into pieces, and covered them over their own armor. Many people also carried horses, flour buckets, pepper bags, ceramic vessels, gold and silver ornaments, and so on. Many Franks, swaying and carrying jars of Persian wine, walked about without any respect.

In the firelight, Gawain could only shake his head when he saw that even his own brigade was so virtuous, he understood that now that the battle in Antioch City was completely over, the emotions of the soldiers needed to erupt, and when you spent a hundred days in the company of dead bodies, hunger, blood, and fear, you would also go crazy and lose your mind for two or three days of indulgence.

"Let's go on." Gawain said to Baldwin, who was tired beside him, and the two of them walked towards the center of the camp, where Lord Raymond had taken up a luxurious tent for the fallen emir, and had set up a banner outside, and went in to receive (rob) the goods, and of course the beautiful concubine or dancer that the emir could not take with him, so that the one-eyed lord could relieve the tension of these days.

Then, to Gawain's surprise, in the midst of the commotion in the camp, there was also a detachment of soldiers from the Gemegis Brigade, crouching in a queue, digging a blockade ditch.

The answer was soon revealed, because in front of this group of soldiers, there was a large tent where Kobha lived, and in the eyes of the people, it was huge like an independent fortress, protected by a wall of earth, silk curtains and huge wooden beam supports, which divided it into two levels, and the people on the upper level could look out over all the places in the surrounding five guli, and the lower level was connected by a passage for horses to gallop, and it was no wonder that this group of Gemagis soldiers were nervous, they thought that there were strong garrison soldiers inside, so they simply adopted the "siege" policy.

"Kobuha is gone, and there will be no one to guard it anymore." Gawain laughed, pointed to the big tent opposite, held the reins in his hand, and shouted to the group of dumbfounded soldiers.

But the group of soldiers looked back at themselves, most of their faces were "Grand Duke, don't lie to us", Gawain shook his head and raised his arms, "I declare that as long as you capture the big tent of the Maharaja of Mosul, everyone can take a quarter of the booty." ”

"Whoa!" As soon as Gawain finished speaking, the group of Gimageis soldiers threw down their shovels and stakes, jumped over the trench they had just dug, and rushed madly into Kobha's tent.

A minute later, Gawain and Baldwin entered the main entrance of the tent, and found that the valuables had been looted, and that the soldiers of G. Maggis were carrying all sorts of booty, which belonged to them, and carried the rest of the captives to the wagons parked outside. Gawain walked to the throne where Kobuha had once sit, stepping on the finely cut patterned carpet, and finding that the diamonds and nuggets had been pried away by the soldiers, he leaped up lightly, sat there, holding the horse's head scepter, and happily made a king's landing gesture to Baldwin.

"You look like a real king." Baldwin was half admiring, half envious.

Gawain laughed, then walked down and pushed Baldwin to sit up, handing him the scepter and holding it, "You're like that, too." ”

The young Count Adana sighed, "When you were fighting Prince Reuben, you told me about the lion crown you captured, and I did have the idea of becoming a king at that time, but now I have dismissed it. ”

"Is it because of the previous election, I told your brother, that you are still too young, and that you have some arrogant words?" Gawain stood in front of the throne, empathetic.

This seemed to speak to Baldwin's heart, he held his forehead a little embarrassed, except for the soldiers running around, and the corpses of dead prostitutes all over the ground, in this big tent, as long as he and Gawain were present, there was no need for him to hide it, "Do you know Gawain, how sad I was when you said that to let me know. Because I have always respected your and my brother's opinions the most, and even in my heart, you are a more important existence than my brother. Since you have commented on me in this way, I can only deeply feel my own inadequacy. ”

As a result, as soon as Baldwin's words were finished, Gawain's hand pressed on his right shoulder, and with a gentle smile, he raised the subtle and masculine wrinkles on his forehead, and whispered to him with certainty, "Baldwin will be the king. Eustace, I promise. But not now, now you need to continue to grow and continue to experience. To become a king, you not only need a golden crown, but also courage, calmness, strategy, tolerance, and perseverance, and you still lack something. ”

"But I need the approval and support of my brother and you even more." Baldwin's eyes became eager, and he couldn't help but suddenly flip the clasp and grasp Gawain's hand.

"Of course this is our vow, isn't it?" Gawain didn't withdraw his hand, his pale blue eyes were very soft.

"I will support you and become the king of Anatolia!" Baldwin eagerly shouted out the terms of the exchange.

At this time, Gawain suddenly withdrew his hand, took two steps back, then tilted his head and raised his arms, "Please go back to what I just said, Baldwin, you should know that you are still far from the real king." ”

Baldwin's mouth opened wide, then looked around, then gestured to silence with some regret.

Then both of them stopped talking, and walked out of the tent in silence, the night was already over, but the soldiers were still in high spirits with torches to continue to loot, and in front of the camp that belonged to a certain emir opposite, Raymond was naked, roared and pulled out the girl with the only shirt with long black hair, and threw the other party to the ground, picked up the whip in his hand, and whipped it fiercely, the lord was already stuttering, and now he was even more angry and almost unable to control himself, "Liar, liar, liar, big liar!" ”

Just before Gawain was about to step forward to persuade her, the girl was whipped until she couldn't stand the pain, turned her body over, and let out a strange scream, and then Gawain saw that there was a big thing shaking violently in the lower part of this "girl", so he stopped and stopped Baldwin, "Don't go forward, we should understand Lord Raymond's anger, this Mosul camp is full of this crazy and strange scene, this guy Kobuha and his subordinate generals and emirs are really unique." ”

At this moment Gregor came up and whispered a few words in the ear of the Grand Duke.

The curtain of the other camp tent was lifted, Gawain stood there, and there was a scream of a genuine woman inside, and behind the layers of gauze curtains, Gawain saw that there were bewitching and beautiful girls everywhere, dressed up, "The soldiers of your brigade have also protected this camp?" ”

Gregor nodded, and then made a request: "Please send this group of Persian women to our brigade for marriage." (To be continued.) )
