"Well, Gawain, the stealing bear, really didn't dare to respond to my summons, and probably fled in the wilderness." After the curtain was closed, before announcing the decision, Anna disdainfully said to Agnes, "But it doesn't matter, this is my plan to take him away." ”

"What, to form an armed regiment into a full-fledged brigade?" When Anna behind the curtain said this request, neither of them, especially Branas, could not believe their ears.

"That's right." Anna's voice is still old and quiet with confidence, "The pillar of a country is noble and brave." Gawain and I were determined to restore the great glory of Rome, first of all, starting with the military system, and now the number of armed regiments was just enough to form a separate Turma brigade, and then General Branath was the Turmarch (Commander of the Count of the Brigade, Temachi), and Lambert was the deputy, the 1st Drungarios (commander of the 1st Battalion, equivalent to the deputy of the brigade, 1st Dugelius). ”

In fact, Anna's "Tema", "Temachi", and "Dugelius" are all ancient words from before, and now the system of the Sem Military Region has collapsed and no longer exists, and Alexios has long been based on the use of mercenaries, and the names of the military system and official positions have undergone huge changes.

But Her Royal Highness's tone next didn't look like a prank or a game at all, and she continued to be serious. "The new brigade was named 'The Guardians' (the name of an ancient Janissary regiment in Eastern Rome), and its formalities were written. I've asked Agnes to prepare it, and I'll leave it to Gawain for consideration in a moment. Don't worry about it. ”

"Branas, please serve the entire army well, otherwise where will you still have a foothold in this empire? You can only take refuge under my hands, and be faithful to me. In addition, you must understand that Gawain and my cause did not stop at the Red Hand Brigade itself, the latter was just another pillar of the royal industry, and I would soon ask Gawain to also change the Dalian Brigade to the 'Red Hand Brigade', and the two brigades would form a Sym Division, which would fight together on the battlefield - now twenty percent of the armed regiments were Romans (indigenous Greeks). Eighty percent are from the Salian and the Rhineland, so Lord Dorus, the coordination and training of the tribes is entrusted to you. ”

These words had both detailed planning and self-evident decision-making, and the two finally stopped doubting that "this is definitely not a game of the player on the whim of Her Royal Highness the Princess", but then Dorus cautiously reminded, "But the armed regiment belongs to His Excellency Gottschalke, the chief secretary, I am afraid"

"The General Bowl has never had a military duty. It is Gottschalke who should make a concession on this point, and I will soon make this clear to Gawain, and he will certainly accept it. Apparently this question is not within Anna's confusion at all.

"The Germanic people in the armed regiment are completely loyal"

"There is no need to worry about this question at all. We are not starting from scratch, the supreme command of the Guardian Brigade is still Gawain's, and as for ethnic and linguistic issues. A simple bilingual booklet will soon be available to address this issue. ”

"Yes, yes. The Holy Apostle dressed in purple. The two generals could only bow down and accept Anna's orders.

When the whole team arrived at the important town of Karon, on the south side of Lake Cappadocia. Gawain learned that behind his ass, Anna had actually set up the "Guardian Brigade" without authorization.

Caron, the Roma soldier who had been here at the moment, had already abandoned the city, and it had become a completely ownerless vacuum fortress, so Gawain arranged for the Red Hand Dalian to be stationed on his flank, and sent scouts to contact Baldwin or Tancred, who might be operating on the left, and then sent the Garganus Brotherhood into the city to maintain operations and collect supplies, according to military custom.

"It's really difficult, and the supplies can only continue for another four to five days." General Secretary Bo Gott Schalke, and Battalion Officer Wright. Bozia (where Merlot, the chief of the camp, remained in the camp to recuperate), and the black-haired female consul, who had recently been in close contact with the governor of the Asiatic march, gathered around Gawain at the city gates, worried about the lack of provisions, "We must contact Baldwin as soon as possible, we must know what the situation is in Anatolia today, and if we act rashly, we will be greatly defeated." ”

Then, while Gawain was still waiting for the scout news, another piece of news came: "With the unanimous approval of the army's military representatives, the original Pilgrim Armed Regiment was upgraded to the 'Guardian Brigade' by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, with a total of 200 war horses, pack horses, and 4,000 soldiers, under the new banner, swearing allegiance to the patron saint Anna, and to the Supreme Commander Gawain. Lusail expressed his willingness to serve the command. ”

"Just five guli behind the Dalian team, there has been such a big change!" Gao Wen was furious, holding the edict sent by Anna, thinking of all precautions, but he didn't expect this little girl to make such a fuss under his nose. But who can blame it, it's not because of his own weak heart, it seems that he was caught by Anna and calculated.

"Gawain, your 'little good girl' is really good at playing" Behind her, Cabeamia pulled the hair from her ears, as if she had expected it, and teased bitterly with her eyes closed. And the general secretary Gottschalke was also stunned, he was originally going to negotiate with the Paulineites to resolve the problem of doctrinal conflict after that, but he didn't expect that as soon as the front foot left, the armed group was "robbed" by a little girl.

Gao Wen, whose face was pale, continued to read the edict, "What, my Dalian team has also become a brigade, what turma, it's just a curse!" Turma, the Red Hand, was also removed from my post as Governor of the Asian March, for the Emperor had long since omitted it in his edict - Anna, the benevolent patron, had given me a new position, 'Strategos'. ”

"He is the supreme commander of several Semu divisions, with a higher rank than the Grand Duke of the Military District, and is in charge of a theater of operations." At this time, Anna was afraid that Gawain would not understand in the edict, and explained it in the notes.

"Congratulations on the promotion of His Excellency the Marching Commander to 'Stratigos'." Wright could barely hold back his laughter now, and the expression on his face was simply distorted when he said it against his will.

"What Straticos! I've had enough of the wine game, get me a horse, I'm going to take the guards to the next people, and Dad is going to beat the naughty 'daughter's ass. With that, Gawain shoved Anna's edict into Wright's arms with disdain, and then the Turkic servant lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, and brought him Sabina.

At the sound of the trumpet, the Saxons and Varyag warriors of the Gawain Guard began to assemble in formation, and then on the other side of the lake, louder voices were heard, all the sound of troop footsteps and horns—it was actually the "Guardian" brigade of the new banner, surrounded by Anna's shoulders and the new banner, towards the city of Karon.
