"There's nothing wrong with that, anyway, it's a holy war against the infidels, recovering the lord's territory, and there are fiefs to give." The weakest-willed ones, after exchanging words, walked up to Reinstein and offered to accept the contract.

Earl Ryanstein smiled and nodded, the stack of contracts in front of him were all printed on paper and engraved plates, so he only needed to use the spare seal left by the heraldic officer, sign his name, and let the other party sign at the same time, the efficiency was very fast.

Several of them quickly signed their names, and then Reinstein deliberately read them all over to indicate the inquest, which was very detailed, not only the fiefdom of the estate, the special camp given, the share of the shady land, the additional "tax tax" (that is, Anna promised to take out the tax from the city of Tarsus, and Anna also promised that if they conquered the towns of Cappadocia, the tax tax would rise with it), and the corresponding equipment at public expense, such as swords, spears, flags, men and horses, military servants, etc.

In short, the composition of this group of people is different from that of the Gospel Saints and Cavalry. The cavalrymen were given a share of the property and shield tax, and had no hereditary rights, while this group of people had some hereditary rights (shade land). In general, however, the "ultimate authority" of all the sacred lands, including the shade land, was still in the hands of Seleucia, that is, Gawain and Anna.

Now that Ryanstein has said the contract details twice, and a dozen or so people can't hold it back, they feel that there are now only three ways to go:

With a lot of debts, he failed to recover the Holy Land, returned to his hometown without a penny, and his wife, children and family were completely ruined;

returned to Constantinople to serve as a mercenary to the Greek emperor, and then to drive away the ashes that served as the fly ash on his way to Paphlagonia;

The last way is to be a "contract mercenary" in Seleucia, of course, if you do it well, you may even soar.

After all, the third way is feasible.

When a dozen or so people signed the contract, the "domino effect" ensued, and more people joined in, discarding their oaths to the Count of Blois or the Count of Normandy, leaving them behind altogether, even Goti, who had questioned it in the first place.

In the end, there were less than twenty people left who did not sign and still had to accompany the earl.

"If you sign the contract, please follow me to the barracks. And if you do not sign it, the magnanimous princess will ensure that you have the property and goods, and give each of you sixty saffron coins, you may go to the border of the valley of the Mut to meet your count. Then, with respectful respect, the bartender Stagurachos separated the two groups of people who had parted ways, so as not to cause any trouble, and led most of the people towards the barracks.

A few brocade brothers, carrying small money bags, gave the Sichuan capital promised by the princess to the remaining dozen or so people one by one, and then told them to pack their bags and leave here quickly.

Soon after, the report reached the Acropolis Palace, and almost didn't make Anna die of laughter: five of the dozen or so people, when they left the front of the post area of the big hospital hall, saw the sign of the bathhouse and couldn't hold back, and gave her Sichuan capital (exactly sixty saffron, equal to prostitution money), and swam to the ecstasy cave, wanting to supplement the service items that had not been tried before, and spent the last money, so after coming out, they ran to the palace gate confidently and "resigned" the contract with Ryanstein.

Eventually ran to the border, and the stunned Robert. Curtis was left with only seven men.

The Count of Normandy couldn't figure out what was happening, but he had no choice but to take the seven men away and leave the land of Conya, which was full of smoke and wilderness, and go to his brother-in-law, who was with the emperor.

And when the two hundred and seventy-eight men who were left behind, of whom sixty-six knights, and the rest were all sergeants, came to the barracks, they could not help but be astonished, and the stables were already equipped with fine horses, and on the armor racks, in addition to their own armor, there was a separate one, on which they were draped in a horse armor - not a horse coat, but a standard waistcoat.

"You will soon be armoured and cavalry and set out for Tarsus. Previously, your outfit could not show off the martial arts of the Grand Duke and Princess, so you can. At this moment, the bartender said to everyone with a bright smile, his fingers flicked the armor pieces on the vest, and made a rattling sound.

"Your Highness, are you really going to Tarsus?" In front of the writing table of the Acropolis Palace, the little sunfish was still hesitant, and asked the princess, who was calm and relaxed, and had two Cairo cats standing on her shoulder.

"This is Gawain's established strategy, and now that his father has retreated, it is similar to what Gawain expected." After speaking, Anna pursed her lips and pinched her pink little chin with her little hands, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect my father to be so calculating and timid, he is not as unrelenting and brave as Gawain." ”

"Maybe it's just a matter of fortune, His Majesty the Emperor won't get the favor of fate." Agnes sighed.

"These problems will be left to the astrologer to solve, and now, as the great barbarian said to me, if you do not receive the blessing given by the Lord, it may be followed by the Lord's descent." Anna's tone did not delay without any delay, "The newly attached three hundred special cavalry will immediately set out for Tarsus. Now the city is completely an isolated island within the siege of our territory, and my father only has a thousand soldiers left behind. By the way, send an urgent military message, telling Polibi, Lambert, and Monomachus to draw out 200 men each, and that Cabeamia to set aside 400 men to go with me, and these forces are enough for the lonely city of Tarsus. ”

"However, this will rekindle His Majesty's anger against us, and even attack." Agnes was worried, "And that brute bear is still in Antioch and the outcome is unknown. ”

Anna's hand quickly pressed on Agnes's head with strength, with a certain tone of regret and hatred, "You are really stupid, Gawain naturally has Gawain and his team to worry about, we are here to run our own business, the big barbarian specially told us to act without concern before leaving-and my father's power is fixed to turn the other cheek, strike first, and then have more strength." Agnes, maybe you'll have to 'open your mind' to fully tap your wisdom, just as Minerva did when he cut out his father's head. ”

"Open your mind, open your God, please don't use such filthy words." Agnes, who was pressed by Anna's head and braided with her hair all hanging down, was almost out of breath, her hands were held on her chest, rising and falling violently, she was even more worried that Anna was now more and more like acting spicy and rude, not at all like an imperial princess from the Lion Niu Palace, more like a female khan on the grassland, "I will immediately draft a military document, is it not okay?"
