"I have to thank you for living up to your promise to me, and now the Paulineans have really returned to their homeland." Kabeamia lowered her head and looked at the big guarantor sweetly, her lips were also covered with makeup, which was the pale pink color, which was especially suitable for the color of her skin, and set off herself even more beautifully.
"Happy? But then you'll have to lead the Followers and accompany my army to defeat the massive Crescent Mujahideen of 70,000. Gawain touched the cheeks and ears of the holy sister very gently.
"I will depend on you for everything, even if there is no marriage," the holy sister moved back, and then the wind blew her dark hair, the sun lined her toned wheat-colored skin, and a pair of slender feet under her skirt, which were extremely long on Gawain's chest.
"You like that, don't you? I'm still a little confident in my well-proportioned legs, but I'm certainly not as small and white as your favorite Caesar. The Holy Sister then brushed her hair, her face flushed, and her pretty toes ran down Gawain's neck, and then to the tip of her beard and nose, rubbing them back and forth.
Gawain held her foot like picking a wild black tulip, but Cabeamiya struggled back in shyness, "You're still so shy. Gawain closed his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
"It's not like when you crossed the sea to Gallipoli, didn't you use your feet to help you a little" Cabeamia seemed to be agitated, and a little disgusted regrouped her slender feet, and the tips of her feet stretched out, and then Gawain tightened her whole body, and the holy sister deftly lifted the hem of her robe with her feet, and then arched her toes, and actually clamped his inner hem, and gave it to life.
The whole spring air flowed with the sweet smell of lively and high-spirited desire like fine wine, and the holy sister gasped slightly, looking very hard, constantly arching her knees and spreading them, sometimes changing the direction of her sitting posture and feet, and her hair kept hanging from one side of her shoulders and then to that other
Gawain bared his teeth, "Take out the Paulese Gospels in the box, and I want you to sit on top of me and read them aloud to me again!" Hey, Holy Sister, don't give up your love for your layman, even though I'm still only a layman. ”
"You should be punished for dealing with a layman like you, who has no devotion to speak of." As the guards stood almost a kiori away, Kabeamiya became bold, put on her golden hands and covered her black robes, and took out the Gospels, and Gawain lay on the soft grass and stared like a rabbit, "Yes, yes, that's it!" I like the tone of your voice sitting on top of me reading the scriptures, and it's best to ask me questions and then reprimand me as a layman. ”
But then Kabeamia took out a sheep's intestine coated with essential oil, clamped it to Jade Foot, and laughed mischievously, and used a trace of her foot to trap Gawain's rising riding spear
By the stream, the rabbit had finished eating, but his head was stuck, and he could only whimper around the water's edge with a food basket.
When the two of them were having a wild time at a spring picnic, when the city of Sivas learned that Gawain had insulted the Great School of Meritene in such a way, the leaders of the Holy War, who had been hesitant, were furious, and they gathered in front of Merrick and held the "Ulma Conference", calling for a march to the south of Melitene and a decisive battle with Gawain.
Merrick and most of the military and political officials of Danishmond rejected the resolution, and many imams waved the scriptures and hadiths in their hands and angrily reprimanded, "Even the Great Emir must obey the laws of the Council of Ulma." ”
"Ulema is for ordinary believers, since ancient times, the caliphs, sultans, and great emirs do not need ulema even if they execute believers of the same sect, I have my own firing squad and my own will!" Merrick, distraught on the throne, also became angry and loudly retorted.
After arguing for a long time, Merrick insisted on complying, and said that he would immediately be sent north to the castle of Bayburt, because it was under attack by Theodoro, "If I lose even that, everyone will have to go back to Lake Van Lake." In that way, we have done it for nothing for 30 years. ”
"Let this coward go to Bayburt, and let's go to Mélitane. Of course, if we defeat Gawain, take off his head, and recover all the land, we will still return the land to you, Your Excellency! Many of the imams shouted sarcastic Merrick, who had already made up their minds to take the 70,000 Mujahideen south to fight Gawain's army.
The Council of Ulma then elected several chiefs to lead the huge ranks, and two imams named Qasim and Harun served as military decision-makers, and they imitated the rules of the ancient prophet Muhammad and divided the entire 70,000 men into the "Hermes military system" (Hermis means five limbs, everyone understands the four limbs, and the remaining limb should refer to the head, right?). After all, it must be pure and not dirty), that is, the five divisions of the forward, rearguard, backbone, left army and right army, each of which has a "Hetian banner" (a spear shaft made of hard bamboo on the coast of Bahrain, with a square cloth flag hanging on it) to command.
The vast majority of the mujahideen came from Great Khorasan, Mesopotamia, and the Kurdish regions, and were heavily armoured, mostly unarmoured, with the spirit and manners of ascetics, carrying bows and arrows, slings, and wooden spears, and a few elite men armed with curved swords against cavalry, as well as shields and chain mail. In the Chinese army, there were also two or three thousand Bactria (i.e., Bactria, a Hellenistic kingdom founded in present-day Afghanistan in the 3rd century BC) camels carrying baggage and siege equipment, as well as several large guns known as "maddam".
The left and right armies each had more than 1,000 cavalry, led by the chieftains of the Sajitus tribe, Urux and Elviz, who were also appointed commanders of the left and right armies, while Qasim and Harun commanded the center and rear guards respectively, and the vanguard was the radical Armenian "Kiposa sect", which numbered about 4,000 fanatical believers, and carried tens of thousands of old and weak, and the chief consul was a man named Pap. Potany, who made an oath with all his followers, also desperately wanted to retake the homeland of the Tevris Republic, and naturally had an irreconcilable conflict with Kabeamia.
As for the tactics of this large group of ascetic pilgrims, Qasim also took everyone to consult, and they adopted the ancient Turkic tactic, that is, when the "Pleiades" encountered the enemy's array, the Hermes Five Limbs selected a thousand men from each of them, scattered close to the enemy, and then one group of endeavors followed one after another, and this tactic was said to be invincible.
Their large procession began to leave the city of Sivas and head south about the first day of the third week in late spring and mid-May.
As a result, the next day, the border cavalry sent by Gawain captured the whereabouts of the Mujahideen army (even if Qasim and others wanted to cover it up, it would be useless), and after three days of continuous reconnaissance and even forcible raids, the regulations, numbers, strength and marching route of this army were quickly sent back to Melitene and were mastered by Gawain and his generals.
