Chapter 49: Battalion Officer

Isaac was nestled in a makeshift cage with a wooden bar, surrounded by guards and soldiers. At this time, Kabeamia was also under the "close supervision" of several guard warriors, approached, and then she looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, then held the fence with both hands, gritted her silver teeth, and said to Isaac, "I should recognize you, Glory of the Empire?" I'm afraid that ordinary soldiers don't dare to guess how glorious you are! ”

The people around immediately whispered.

"Fuck off, heretical witch." When Isaac saw her dress, he knew that she was a Tevris remnant, and dismissed her, "I am only a battalion officer, and you ought to be as generous as you are to the rest of the Imperial army, and let me go back to Adrianople, and then I will go before His Majesty the Emperor, and ask him to consider pardoning the sins of your troops—otherwise, if you anger Your Majesty, you will all die." ”

"What are you proud of, Sebastoclat!" Kabeamiya happily reported the identity of this person, and then laughed even more on her back, "I didn't expect that you would actually fall into the hands of the barbarian team, and the white and bright god finally punished your filthy family with a righteous fate. I will kill you, and at all costs will make that Gawain kill you, and avenge the countless co-workers who have died. ”

Kabeamia was like this, holding the wooden fence, her black hair flying, laughing, laughing sharply, "They are all captives, and I am at least given preferential treatment now, and I am free to move freely as an archon noble; And you, the second most honored nobleman of the Empire, the younger brother of Emperor Alexios, are like a lowly slave. Imprisoned in a cage. The samurai and others next to him didn't know what was happening, but there was a veteran who had served in the Red Hand detachment by Gawain's side. Pointing at Isaac with his head down, he shouted to the others. "You can call the Italian veteran company to come and take a look, this golden-handed consul is right, I know him, he is indeed Sebastoclate."

"I just look like His Excellency Sebastocratt, so as his stand-in, His Excellency has already taken a boat down the Thrace River to the safety of Adrianople." Now I heard that people are going to come and watch themselves as if they were animals. Isaac panicked and shouted incessantly.

At this time, fortunately, Gawain came over with two officers, and then the Grand Duke's eyes looked around, and everyone was silent, "Return to the various camps to rest first, and wait for tomorrow's journey, and the reward will be in place immediately." Gawain said a few words, and then the soldiers and servants followed the order of the queue. Leave completely.

Next, Gawain patted Wright on the shoulder, "Put the door of the crimson tent down, and you will take the guards to guard outside." Don't put anyone else. Wright slung the purse around his waist and scurried off to do so.

At the same time, Giovanni opened the cage's bar. Isaac was a little at a loss, his arms and head were heavily bandaged. But seeing Gawain constantly beckoning to him, he could only get out of the cage in the end.

All of them don't speak. Isaac stood there with his head bowed and embarrassed, he wanted to be angry, but all the accessories that could verify his identity and rank, including his armor, were stripped away.

And Kabeamiya let out a long sigh of relief, and sat directly on the couch by the tent, looking at this scene, she couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't stop at all.

"Hey" Gawain sighed, then took off his scarlet cloak, stepped forward and put it on the emperor's body, and said softly, "Your Excellency Sebastoprat, you have been frightened, since the Iron Gate Fort farewell, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. ”

And Isaac was caged in a cloak, showing only ** legs, and pretending to be witty that he didn't understand anything, glaring, "I just said, I've already said that I'm not the emperor's younger brother, I'm his stand-in, I look more like, my name is Andronicus. Branas was just a minor nobleman from Thrace. You've mistaken someone, you've fallen for Sebastoprat's scheme, haha, haha. ”

Gawain also smiled, and then waved his hand, and the eunuch of the prison army, Staulachos, flew from behind the curtain and threw himself at the feet of the imperial brother, hugging the other party's thigh, laughing and crying, "Your Excellency Sebastoprat, it is great that you have survived this battle spawned by this tragic misunderstanding, I have prayed for you all day in front of the icon of Christ, and it has finally worked. ”

"What nonsense, what nonsense! I'm not at all, you recognize the wrong person. Isaac struggled, but the fat man was so nimble that he couldn't shake it off.

Then Gawain didn't say anything, and continued to wave his hand, and the engineer Samuelfa, who was on crutches, also walked in slowly, looked at Isaac, and said in a sad tone, "Venerable Sebastocrates, you should not expose the location of the Roman fire of the entire city wall out of momentary pleasure. ”

This time Isaac was there directly, not saying anything, silent, not denying or acknowledging it in a loud voice. Androdart dipped his reed pen in ink and presented it to the scroll of paper, "Since you won't admit it, write your name, Andronicus. Branas. ”

The emperor's brother took the pen and wrote beautifully in Greek on the scroll of paper: "Branas, from the Thracian province, is now a battalion officer of the Imperial Army. ”

"Very beautiful palace style font." Gawain said in a flattering tone, and took it to see.

"You barbarian can still read and write, and you are smiling and generous."

Gawain didn't argue, he handed the paper roll to the confidential secretary to put it away, and then talked about the problem, "Since you say that you are the camp officer, then now continue to draw a simple camp map, the trench, the deer, and the foot riding camp, all of which can be clearly marked." Kabeamia continued to laugh on the side.

So the royal brother sat down at the long table, held the reed pen in front of the spread out paper, twisted and twisted the reed pen, drew a few times, then smeared it, then drew two more strokes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then pulled his ears anxiously, it was obvious that he could not draw at all.

"How about Branas? If you draw it, I'll send you to Adrianople at once. ”

The "battalion officer" was stunned for a long time, then froze, raised the reed pen, and signed "Isaac. Sebastoclat. Komunen", he willfully threw the pen barrel away, folded his arms, tilted his head, and ignored it.

As a result, everyone in the tent, except for Kabeamia, half-knelt down and shouted, "Honorable Second Glory of the Empire, second only to His Majesty the Emperor, please protect your noble body, the Red Hand Brigade is willing to escort you safely to the Imperial Capital, and you will not die."
