Roger looked at the closed door and thought that what he wanted to express was not the same as he was.

What exactly did Henk think about this stupidity? What did he think he wanted to do?

Didn't he see a faint cursed witch lying on the ground?

However, Roger did not realize that Henk did not have such a sensitive ear as he did.

So from beginning to end, it was impossible for Henke to know what was going on in the room.

Perhaps in Henk's eyes, Roger's various behaviors, including eavesdropping on the conversation in the maid's room, rushing into the room to knock the maid out, and facing the princess who was wearing loose clothes and untied, were all Roger's special hobbies.

That's why he did what he thought was the most correct thing - leaving Roger alone in the room.

At this time, the princess leaned forward, she bit her lip and said:

"As long as you are willing to keep it a secret for me, I can do anything."

Roger grabbed the black iron candlestick with candles on the desk, blocked his chest, and stopped the approaching princess.

Then Roger took the princess' cold and tender hand and stuffed the black iron candlestick into the princess's hand.

He said: "I will leave tomorrow. I will regard this matter as a little secret between you and me, and I will not tell anyone.

"Also, I'll give you a free message, Doncred's illegitimate daughter is still alive and is living well."

"She is lying to me!?"

Roger turned around and walked out of the room, covering the wooden door.

His sensitive ears heard the sound of blunt objects knocking in the room.

When he walked into the door of his room in the middle of the corridor.

He glanced at the corner of his eyes that the door of the high-level maid's room was opened, and Princess Cecilia walked out of the inside and turned up the stairs.

When Roger left the castle the next day, neither Pons nor the princess came out to see him off.

The housekeeper apologized embarrassedly and said, "The master has not woken up from his hangover, and the lady said she is not feeling well."

Roger ignored the servant's nagging and left.

After joining the troops in the city, Roger left Tripoli.

The next journey was relatively smooth.

Whether it is Beirut or Sidon, under the control of Christians, Roger's troops can easily purchase supplies.

As they passed, Roger saw the charred walls and the notch on the wall that had not been completely repaired.

This also allowed Roger to imagine how Christians gained domination there.

However, when passing by Tyre, the situation changed.

This city with the same name as the Nordic God of War, floating on the walls is not famous in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and seriously violates the color rules in heraldic studies, with a silver-bottomed cross flag.

Instead, there are three black crescent moons with capital "c" in the middle of the left and two vertically up and down on the right, and are arranged on a yellow background like a desert.

That was the symbol of the Fatima dynasty in Egypt.

Roger asked the old guide in surprise: "Did we go over and run to the Egyptian territory?"

The old guide said with regret: "Since the arrival of the Eastern Expeditioners, they have captured almost all the cities along the coast, but not the city of Tyr and the city of Ashtaron to the south."

Roger saw that outside the walls of Tyre, the farmers in the fields were quickly retreating to the city.

Soldiers gathered on the city walls.

Roger thought, did he think he was here to attack the city or rob or harass him?

Judging from the reactions of these Arabs, it seems that such things often happen.

Roger had no interest in having any conflict with the other party at all, he just passed by.

However, the Avenue leads to the Tyr city gate and leaves the city gate.

In order to avoid entering the Arabs' range of bows and arrows on the walls, Roger's troops had to leave the avenue and walk in the rugged wilderness.

Roger complained: "Why keep such a city? It's like a stone blocking the road.

All Christian business trips and pilgrims have to circle around. If there are fewer people, they may be robbed by them, which is more inconvenient."

The old guide sighed and said, "I don't want to keep it. King Baldwin of Jerusalem has fought several times, but he can't beat it down.

After all, this city was besieged by Alexander for seven months before it was captured."

Roger looked at Tyre's walls, and it was indeed very majestic.

However, it does not have a moat, and it is on the flat ground, and there are vast farmland outside the city walls.

Roger knew about Alexander the Great. This gay man was an outstanding military strategist and the leader of the four major military commanders in the West. He was still ranked before Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon.

He thought, is this city on the flat ground really so difficult to conquer?

Roger told the old guide this doubt.

The latter seemed to have been scratched to the itchy spot, and he showed off:

"Sir, you can't see the whole picture of this city here.

"In fact, behind this thick and tall city wall, the city is divided into two parts.

“In addition to the land, there are some that extend into the sea like a peninsula.

“The earliest time there was an island not far from the shore, about 3,000 years before the birth of Jesus.

"The islands are settled and a medium-sized island city has been formed.

“In 1,000 years before the birth of Jesus, the city reached its peak.

"Tir's king Hylam created a considerable land in the vast ocean through land reclamation, connecting the islands and land."

Roger couldn't help but talk. He thought that in 1000 BC, the "Shan Hai Jing" had not appeared yet, and the story of Jingwei reclamation of the sea had not yet been circulated, and the people here had already started reclamation of the sea and land!

The old guide didn't notice Roger's distraction, and he continued to show off the legend he heard from somewhere:

"At that time, the supply line of Alexander's army was suppressed by the Persian fleet at sea, and it was impossible to build a fleet of the same size in a short period of time to compete with it.

"So Alexander used the freshwater supply of the Persian fleet to block all freshwater recharge areas along the line through the weakness of the land.

"At that time, Tyre was famous for producing freshwater, and often sold freshwater to surrounding countries..."

"Please wait," Roger interrupted, "This coastal city still produces fresh water?"

"Yes, it's magical here. There is fresh water coming out of the underground on that island on the sea."

Roger thought of the Holy Spring Temple on Bali, Indonesia, where he traveled in his previous life.

It is also a small island on the sea not far from the shore. Fresh water seeps out from the caves on the island, which continues to be continued all year round.

When Roger recalled, the old guide had already continued to talk nonsense:

"Alexander first tried to stop the Tyr from selling freshwater to the Persian fleet through diplomacy, but was rudely rejected.

“Alexander began to attack Tyre, and he blocked him on the shore.

"However this is useless, the Tyr can get supplies by sea, and they are not short of fresh water either.

"When Alexander saw that the siege was ineffective, and was inspired by Tyre's construction, he ordered the digging and reclaiming the sea from the mainland part of Tyre.

"It took Alexander seven months to build a sea wall that stretches to the walls of Tyr Island.

"The city walls there are not as tall as those on land. After all, there is a sea to block it, and no one can attack it.

"After that Alexander took advantage of his land operations and defeated the Tyr defenders.

"It is said that Alexander was extremely angry at the tenacious resistance of the Tirs and the heavy losses of his subordinates, and thus destroyed half of the city.

"There are 30,000 residents in the town, either massacred or sold for slaves..."

The old guide was still nagging, just like a competent tour guide in later generations, he could tell any stone of flowers.

But Roger's thoughts had already spread. He thought that he was worthy of being Alexander the Great, and he could actually think of a way to build a dam on the sea.

But to put it bluntly, this method is still avoiding the enemy's tightly guarded front and attacking the enemy's unprepared rear tactics.

Roger's troops passed by Tyre under the close surveillance of the pagans.

After that, they passed through coastal cities such as Ak, Haifa, Caesarea, Alsov and Jaffa.

Like Beirut and Sidon, they are both under the rule of Christians and have walls that have been destroyed by war and have not been completely restored.

The old guide then took Roger's troops away from the coastline.

After passing a city called Ramla, a vast plain beside the city, and a mountainous area that is not too steep.

Roger and his party finally saw their destination, Jerusalem.

He sent a knight to the city to inform him, stood on the mountain and looked out, and listened to the old guide's introduction with excitement and pride:

"Jerusalem! This is the holy city of Jerusalem!

“‘Jerusalem’ means ‘the city of peace’ in Hebrew, and it is called ‘Guts’ in Arabic, meaning ‘holy city’.

“According to the Bible, this is the place where Jesus died, buried, resurrected, ascension.”
