Roger also considered the plan to arrange the main force in Arish.

Roger reminded: "But this will lengthen our supply lines.

“And the Ashkelens will also come out to attack our transport supplies.

"Then our main force in Arish will be in trouble because of the lack of supplies."

Baldwin said calmly: "This is not a problem, we have enough manpower to maintain this supply line.

“As for the Ashkelens, those people can’t fight in the field.

“I am going to arrange a force to protect the supply line.

"It would be fine if they didn't come out. If they came out, we would just teach them a lesson."

Roger also wanted to stick to his plan, he said:

“But it’s totally unnecessary.

"Isn't that better if the main force stays in Ashkeen, waiting for the Egyptians who come from afar, guarding the Ashkeen people?

"And the longer the supply line of the Egyptians, the more convenient it will be for the cavalry I led to raid them."

Baldwin smiled and comforted, "But you will be very blessed in this way.

"Look at you, it's not easy to cross the desert.

"And it is not safe. If the haunted troops fail, they will easily be surrounded and suppressed by the Egyptian army.

“I promised your mother to ensure your safety.

"So I won't send harassing troops anymore."

Roger was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to command the army here and fight the Egyptians head-on?"

Baldwin smiled softly and said, "You are my son, the person I trust the most."

"So I want to give you the safety of the main force and my life.

“I want you to be responsible for the safety of the supply line, you know, how important it is to us.

"And I believe that with your command ability, even those Ashkelens will not pose any threat to you."

Baldwin said this, patting Roger's back of his hand and sincerely said:

"I have sworn to your mother that I will not let you suffer any harm."

Roger said in a daze: "What should the Egyptians do?"

Baldwin smiled confidently and said, "You have done enough, leave the rest to me."

“Egyptians, let them do it.

"I'm here and fight them in a decisive battle."

Roger thought that Baldwin took on the most dangerous task and handing over the easy and simple things to himself is such a good person.

But he always felt something was wrong.

Two "little Rogers" appeared in Roger's mind, one with two sharp red horns on his head and the other with a pair of white wings stretched out from behind.

......

Hongjiao said: I am not afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the worst malice.

Baiqi said: The most important thing for people to get along with each other is to trust each other.

Red Roof said: Please note that Baldwin has been dominating the conversation, is this normal?

Bai Bi said: It's normal. The other party is the king, and I guess he is used to being in the dominant position.

Red Rogue said: As king, Baldwin seems to be too kind to Roger, is that normal?

Baifeng said: Baldwin said that he treated Roger as his son, and his father talked about commonplaces with his son. What's the problem?

Red Rope said: I don't think Baldwin has a good explanation for why Adelaide was asked to leave Jerusalem.

Baiqi said: He said it was because of love. Isn’t this reason enough?

Red Rogue said: Baldwin has been questioning Roger's plan, and he even threw out that kind of terrible scene, but later changed to drinking camel milk. What exactly does he want to do?

Bai Bi said: He just mentioned several possible situations. Although these situations may not necessarily happen, it was indeed something Roger did not consider, so Baldwin was proving that Roger's plan was flawed.

Hongjiao said: Although the enemy advance team and partial division are of average combat effectiveness, Baldwin insists on emphasizing that the enemy's main force is very powerful. Is it great to have faith blessing?

The little white-winged Roger seemed angry. He shouted "Give me strength" and slapped the little red-horned Roger away with one wing.

......

Roger felt someone patting the back of his hand and he came to his senses.

He apologized for being distracted in front of the king.

Baldwin didn't blame him, he said gently:

"Roger, you are tired, go and have a rest. I have someone arranged a room for you."

Roger was really tired, and his long journey and sandstorms made him urgently need a good rest in a house with eaves.

Moreover, it was not convenient for him to refuse the king's arrangements.

But he suddenly thought of Shana's anxious face, and he said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have some things to explain to my subordinates."

Baldwin immediately called the commemorative officer and ordered him to obey Roger's command.

He leaned against Roger's ear and said softly:

"As a superior, you don't need to go for small things. If you want to meet, tell him and let him bring them here."

Then Baldwin ordered the attendant to take Roger to the room.

So Roger saluted and said he was leaving.

After waiting in the arranged room, the messenger brought Shana as Roger told him.

Shana looked alert. After the messenger left the room, she opened the door and looked outside, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop.

Then she lowered her voice and said, "Sir, no, that bastard Baldwin, have you taken your mother away."

Roger said disapprovingly: "I already know this, Baldwin took Adelaide to Carac Castle.

“He did this to protect her.

"Although I don't think he needs to do this, it's not a big problem. I just live in another place."

Shana said in surprise: “This is not a big problem?

"He has ruined Adelaide."

Roger wondered, "What? What's the useless?"

Shana said: "Queen, he abolished the Queen of Adelaide."

Roger was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking, saying, "How is this possible? Why did Baldwin do this? Was he crazy?"

Then Roger insisted on calming himself, and he seriously questioned Shana:

"Shana, this is not a joke.

"Which tavern did you hear about this?

"You know, Baldwin is a king, and such words are slandering a king, and you cannot say it casually."

Shana said angrily: "Slander, do you think I'm slandering Baldwin?

"Do you think I'm going to be unstoppable?

"Do you still don't believe me?"

A sultan stone flashed through Roger's mind, and he quickly comforted:

"No, Shana, I don't doubt you, I believe you.

"I'm just worried that you will be deceived by someone else, and maybe someone with bad intentions will reveal the fake news to you.

"Can you tell me how this news came about?"

Shana said slowly, "This news is definitely true because it was said by Baldwin."

Roger tightened his brows. He believed Shana would not lie to him, but he was confused when he thought of Baldwin's previous attitude to talk to him.

He asked, “Tell me, have any special things happened during my time when I was not in Jerusalem?

"Pick up important things that are directly related to Adelaide."

Shana thought for a while and said, "During the time you were fighting on the front line, it is said that the former patriarch Anurf went to Rome.

“This is what he said himself, in the church of the Holy Cross in Akh, in front of the Holy Cross of the Lord Christ, everyone thought that he would not lie.

“According to Anurf, he was kindly praised by Pope Pasgal.

"He was then relieved of all the charges and returned with the advice and orders of the Roman pope.
