So it was logical that the original "Sivas Day" became "Sebastian Day". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the plateau, Gawain's entire army had won a great victory over the 70,000 Crescent Mujahideen, and the news quickly spread everywhere, spreading to all corners along the sea and land. The first congratulatory letters were issued by the nation of Adanabe, then the state of Jerusalem, and then the ships of the city-states of Amalfi and Venice set sail back to Italy. The chief guarantor of the Grand Hospital of São Paulo, Stephen. Gawain, having crushed 120,000 pagans in one fell swoop on the Anatolian plateau, the corpses of the enemy lying in clogging all the rivers the eagle could fly. "When this good news reached the Papal Palace in Rome, the record doubled again, anyway, Eugene. Owenseth was told that "the army that had defeated the invasion of 200,000 pagans was Christ's shield."

When several cardinals stood on the bell tower and shouted the news, the entire square of the city of Rome was filled with celebratory and cheering crowds, and it was widely believed that this was almost as glorious as the restoration of the Holy City.

The Pope and the Council of Cardinals immediately decided to "canonize" Gawain, who was still alive, by conferring on him the title of "Faithful Servant of God" without having to be verified by the investigators.

In other words, if Gawain dies in the future, his body is likely to be kept in a crystal coffin for a long time and will be worshiped by believers all over the world. Then many absurd legends quickly became popular in the cities of Rome, Bari, Ancona, Venice and even Ragusa, and were added to the attention of the propagandists of the headquarters of the Rehabilitation Society of Bari, who said that His Highness Gawain, the faithful servant of God, had the power to perform miracles and cure two of the most difficult diseases, infertility and epilepsy. The trend of donating land to large hospitals has set off a new round of craze. Of course, more pilgrims have to take a boat to Seleucia or Tarsus, and it would be better if they could be touched by Gawain's finger and receive his blessing.

Adrianople's palace, Alexios. Komnenos had been in a good mood lately, as he had learned the recipe for Khitan snow and the drawings of several firearms, and while he had temporarily released Agnes and her grandfather, he still sent fifty Praetorian archers to guard the Prani manor in Mytilene; In addition, he ordered the palace governor "Little Bird" to supervise the ordnance workshop in the imperial capital to work overtime day and night to manufacture cutting-edge weapons.

Once the production and equipment are on a large scale, then the combat effectiveness of the emperor's army will inevitably be strengthened, so when Alexios saw the letter, he only smiled contemptuously, "I have deprived Gawain of the title of Grand Duke before, and now he knows that he will not escape in the future, so he has flattered me - to give him the title of 'Earl of Clothing' (yes, the Byzantine Empire's official title system does have this name, eslargitionum) as a sign of my 'concern' and compassion." ”

Later, the Emperor confidently recounted to the Imperial Ink Officer at his side, Myles, that "once weapons and more Roman armaments are in my infantry and fleet, I will be able to completely pacify the western territory within a year, and sooner or later I will have to confront Gawain again." At that time, the weapons of both sides were balanced, and the key depended on the manpower - Meles, the population under my rule was no less than five million, and it was very densely gathered, and there were many mercenaries on the steppes and islands owned by me, and Gawain now even if he had Cilicia and Cappadocia, and now he had Meritene and Sebastian, but the population was only one and a half million, so the next decisive battle would not only be very large, but also I would have greater confidence in victory. In addition, he sent a secret letter to Raymond saying that he had done a very good job, and in this way organized the Callegos Party to continue to raid Gawain's territory, leaving him exhausted. ”

While the Emperor's edict of the "Earl of Clothing" was still on the way, on the tower of the palace of Tarsus, the dressed Caesarana was holding her smiling daughter in her arms, Helena's back was held, and her little fat feet kept kicking on the battlement, laughing, and seemed to like to look at the crowd of ants below who were cheering and cheering. At the semi-circular intersection of the square and the main forest**, there is the "Sebastian Gate", made of birch and cedar, with many ribbons tied on it, where many soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the battle march through in a procession to the sound of drums, receiving the applause of the tide, and even their shadows falling on the masonry of the square are so neat and mighty.

At the lintel of the "gate", there are two curtains with words written on both sides, which are particularly eye-catching under the illumination of the lights. The content of the curtain script is exactly the same, one is Chinese and the other is Greek. After Zhao Zhao heard of the great victory, he wrote "The Defense of the Soldiers and Horses of the Three Prefectures of Fu Yu made Gao Wen break the Turkic Lubu":

“...... Pixiu gathers, tigers and leopards gallop, salty pounding owl nests, and swearing to level the anthill. The soldiers and horses of the three states are guarded by Gao Wen, pushing the heart of Xu Guo, forgetting home, the male of the Mianjin base, the courage of each of the sleeping skins, so it is the flying arrows and stones, dancing and rushing together, pointing to the fish of its play, and the meat of the paste. As a result, the troops were conscripted to adjust food, and the whole army was killed; Those who are in love with evil will not return. And the enemy chief raised his mantis arm to survive, and he was obscene and self-consolidated. The plan is exhausted, and there is no door to fly away; Thousands of deceitful demons, would you rather avoid the scourge of Yiyi? It is to cause its ghosts, there is no escape from punishment, and it is a period of harmonious drinking, and it is a classic of mediocrity. Beheading and capturing alive is invincible. As for the flesh and blood of the disciples, there is nothing left behind. Today, the prisoners are sacrificed, the head is hanging, the six divisions are triumphant with the enemy, and the realm is restored to life and gathering. Meritorious service and others have been lowered, and they will be rewarded from above, and the table will not be overdue. The glory of the inscription bell and the tripod, showing the inheritance of the descendants and the ......"

After Zhao Zhao wrote this article in a sprinkling manner, he sent it to his wife and asked her to translate it into Greek, but his wife immediately said, "You should ask for another master", so the article was sent to Zhao Zhao's father-in-law, Monomarcus, who personally participated in the battle. In the hands of Scoleroru.

"My family is a generation of Jinat nobles, this kind of writing problem, let's leave it to the girl of the Orson family!" Monomachus also expressed modesty in his concessions.

But Hetomia, the Imperial Ink Officer, was so busy that the task eventually passed to the Cappadocian herdsman Ryanstein, who had always claimed to love cultures—and eventually, the Greek word was written by Ryanstein.

"Damn, even the most knowledgeable of me can't make a coherent translation and elaboration of such a text even if I have gone through all the dictionaries, it is too difficult for us. This kind of writing has the peculiarity of God's choice.

But I will say that the army of the Great Patron crushed the pagan enemies like ants, and we built stables and cattle pens on their temples, and the Great Patron won a brilliant victory in this chess-like game. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, Civilian, Sebastian Day belongs to all, and it will be with the Holy Nation forever! (To be continued.) )
