Roger returned to his tent angrily.

Senior officers walked in one after another.

Shana showed off her Tartaran coins in her hand with enthusiasm.

She said, "Did you see it? You won't come yet if you ask me to come. I shouted, "Long live the emperor." The fool grabbed me a handful of money."

Zarro frowned and said, "You are a senior officer, who is huddled among the soldiers and lined up to collect money. How can you be embarrassed?"

Shana said without caring: "What does that matter? Why don't someone give money? It's useless to take it?"

Muttier said on the side: "This money can only be used in Constantinople. No one wants it if it is far away. Didn't the commander say that you wouldn't go to Constantinople? What's the use of holding this money?"

Shana said proudly: "I found out that the official would come to pay the money tomorrow.

"I agreed with his servants to ask them to help me bring the dried fish I had eaten last time tomorrow.

“That dried fish tastes so delicious.

“I promised to wait for them to bring them, and I would pay them.

"I'm smart, I don't have to go to Constantinople and I can still buy things."

Roger sat there watching with a tense face, not speaking.

He thought, Shana, you are so smart. You know how to order takeout more than a thousand years earlier.

When Roger saw that all the officers were coming, he clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

Then he said, "We'll set out in the afternoon and leave here."

Danny reminded: "Captain, you're a little anxious. Yesterday I promised to give the soldiers a day off today."

Roger said firmly: "I changed my mind and I have to leave in the afternoon. I can't stay here for more than a day."

He turned to Linardi and asked, "What should we do next?"

Linardi replied: "At that time, after the prince crossed the strait, he went south with other expeditionists to Nicea."

Roger nodded and said, "I remember you mentioned this city. It is the city that the Eastern Expeditioners dragged the ships across the land and put them into the lake for one night, and then attacked."

Linardi confirmed: "Yes, it's this city. But we don't need to fight again, now it belongs to the Eastern Roman Empire."

Muttier interrupted, "But Welf, Duke of Bavaria, stay there now."

Roger asked impatiently: "Why haven't figured out yet? Is his attitude towards us hostile?"

Muttier said aggrievedly: "I have just sent someone to pass the orders and told the secret agents there to find out about Welf's situation. This order is still on the way."

Roger knew that he was anxious, and this was not something that happened in later generations. Just call and send a WeChat message to get it done.

He thought that if Welf agreed to be harmonious, there would be no problem in the past.

But if he doesn't agree with Harmony and breaks through like this, he may have to fight.

However, Roger had made a decision. He would rather fight than stay here than stay here, and was slowly corrupted by the Eastern Romans.

He asked Linardi again: "Is Nicia easy to fight?"

Linardi sighed and said, "It's really hard to fight. Back then, the Eastern Expeditioners were determined to siege and destroy Nicea.

"The battle surrounding the defensive wall lasted for seven weeks.

"There are many noble jazz who lost their lives in this battle.

"Later, even though the lake was blocked by ships, the Turks held on and fought without any effort.

"They used grease, oil, asphalt, linen and burning torches to poured them down from the defense wall and completely burned the siege cone and other siege equipment.

“They shot arrows with their horny bows and killed many people.

“They threw stones and smashed the people standing near the walls.

"I remember there was an extremely warlike Turkic man who threw his shield away from a distance and directly faced various weapons with his chest. He threw rocks into the crowd with his hands.

"At that time, at least 20 arrows were inserted into the man, but he still did not stop and threw stones with his hands, attacking Christians fiercely and brutally.

"Later, Duke Goldfrey picked up the crossbow, stood behind the shield of his companions, and shot through the heart of the Turkic man, which made him unable to make a horrifying killing."

The officers were fascinated by the hearing and sighed that they could not see such a spectacular and tragic scene with their own eyes.

Danny said a little dissatisfied: "Then are there any Warriors who are excellent in our Normans?"

Linardi pondered for a moment, and said:

"Yes, I remember there was a Norman man who was the subordinate of Robert, the Earl from Normandy.

“He put on his helmet and chain mail, held his shield, and bravely crossed the trench and rushed towards the tower.

“He tried to pull out the piles of stones with his hands and clear out a passage.

"But because of the heavy rainstorm stones and the projections that kept pouring down, he gave up this effort.

"When this warrior saw that he was isolated and could not stop the heavy stone pouring down, he leaned against the city wall and wanted to avoid the projection of the Turks.

"But in this case, he has no way to escape.

“In the end, thousands of stones smashed his shield.

“His neck was hit, and he was smashed like soft mud at the foot of the city wall.

"And the Turks threw the chains from that disgusting tower.

"This kind of chain lock has very sharp claws with great grip, similar to hooks.

“They hung the chain mail of the killed warrior firmly with the hooks and pulled him up.

“Then they strip him naked and hung him on the defensive wall with ropes.

"After a long period of mockery, the Turks threw the naked body off the defensive wall.

"This inhuman behavior angered all Christians.

"Everyone is mourning for the cruel death and the despicable treatment that this fell brother suffered.

“The Christians took back the warrior’s body with respect.

"The priests sang chants and people buried him."

Everyone sighed and sighed.

Roger also became curious and asked, "What's next? How did you defeat that city?"

"A Lombardian engineer, after witnessing the suffering of Christians, volunteered to build a construction machine.

"The superiors sought to his promises and gave him the greatest convenience.

“He made a slanted wall, and they placed it in the corner of the city wall.

"Engineers and volunteer craftsmen are kept safely in this machine.

"The Turks threw torches, asphalt, grease and pushed a large amount of stones down from the city walls.

"But everything, slid down, did not cause any damage to the people in the slanted wall.

"The engineer and his companions hid in the machinery and kept digging out the soil from the foundation of the city wall with pickaxes and sharp iron tools.

“During this time, he supported it with straight columns and crosses until he was able to dig a huge cave under the foundation.

"Then they piled the dried reeds, flax and everything they could ignite in the middle of the columns and beams.

"After this, the fire was ignited by the engineer. The fire rose in response to the wind, and finally the pillars and beams under the foundation were burned to ashes.

"So the foundation had no support, and the wall completely collapsed and a passage appeared.

"The Turks were crushed, and they prayed for the army of Christ to forgive them, and they promised to hand over the keys of the city gate to the Emperor of Constantinople.

"The Eastern Expeditioners thus obtained the city of Nicea."

Everyone was amazed.

Roger thought to himself, at worst, he went to Nicea City to dig a hole. He could give Duke Welf a try first.
