Rinaldi told Roger's horrifying glare:

“Then the next morning, the Christians in the city woke up and went up to the defensive wall to see if the Christian brothers outside the city were still on the grass.

"They saw the bodies separated by their bodies and heads all over the grass, and blood flowed on the ground like a river..."

"In this way, the treason of the Turks was exposed.

“Immediately, the Christians set off a riot in the whole city, all holding weapons to avenge their brothers who were killed in the scheming.

"They violently destroyed the towers and killed all the Turks that could be seen in them, but were actually just some lowly Turkish servants.

“Amid the horns and the loud shouts, they stirred up a huge riot.

“Badwin was surprised by the violent noise and the crowd gathered together in anger.

“He left the tower where he lived, rode his horse through the city, urging the armed forces to stop fighting and return to his residence, so as not to destroy the agreement between the two sides, and eventually he knew the massacre that Christians suffered.

“The riots are getting more and more intense, and people can’t stand the murder of Christians, shouting ‘Baldwin should be responsible for the killing’.

"People were shooting arrows at Baldwin, and the rain of arrows was so fierce and huge that Baldwin had to escape to the tower to save his life.

"In the end, when the anger of the crowd faded away and Baldwin appeased the people, he defended himself from knowing nothing about the cruel behavior of the Turks.

“He declared that the people of the living God were kept out of the gates, not for other reasons, but for he had vowed to promise to the Turks and Armenians that no one would be allowed to enter the city before the Duke came.

"After Baldwin's defense, he reconciled with his own people, and then he attacked one by one, conquered the lower Turks who were left behind.

"As a result, almost 200 people were beheaded in order to avenge the pilgrims outside the city."

Shana yelled and interrupted, "What have you done long ago? You will kill all the Turks when you enter the city. Isn't that all the time? You have to do so many things."

Muttier shook his head and said, "Badwin had always said that he would abide by the agreement with the Turks, and even ignored the lives of Christian brothers for this reason.

"But in the end, he participated in the massacre of the remaining Turks in the name of revenge of the Christian brothers, completely throwing the promised agreement aside.

"It seems that he makes sense, but in fact he is not reasonable at all."

Everyone here was talking, and they felt that Baldwin's approach, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end of the incident, did not conform to the spirit of contract or the spirit of chivalry.

Seeing that the banquet could no longer continue, Roger smashed all the things he should have smashed, and even the long tables built by craftsmen in the army temporarily with branches and wooden boards were overturned.

He could only announce the end and return to his tent to sleep angrily.

The next day, Roger's troops arrived in Tassus in the afternoon.

This is a city on a plain with vast farmland surrounding it.

Roger and the senior officers stopped on the grass outside the city.

The lush grass in front of me had long since disappeared without any trace of the tragedy.

Everyone stood quietly for a while without saying a word, as a memory of the Christian brothers who died.

Roger then sent an envoy to inform the city of the city as Prince of Antioch, Bosimund, and requested permission to enter the city to station, repair, and fairly buy and sell necessary materials.

Soon there was an answer in the city, and Prince Toros of Armenia came out to greet him with the cross.

Roger looked at the prince in his 50s, with big ears on his head, wearing a gem-inlaid crown, black and white hair mixed with brown eyes, and passionate.

The Prince of Armenia greeted Little Bosimund in Latin, and he said familiarly:

"Your father is a famous warrior, a lion-like figure.

"When I saw him, I thought how good it would be to marry his daughter Arda.

"It's a pity that by chance, I finally married my daughter to that bastard Baldwin."

Bosimmond asked: "Did you mean Baldwin, did you use tricks to deceive Tassus and then ignore Baldwin who died tragically outside the city?"

Prince Toros interjected: "Yes, it's him, a bastard who doesn't care about credibility.

"I pretended to be hypocritical and deceived countless people to work hard for him, but he sold it again.

"Pity my daughter, arda, was abandoned by him for no reason, and inexplicably sent someone to send her back, without even an explanation.

“In a blink of an eye, he married a rich widow.

"What a shameful villain."

Roger was listening to it and his heart was thumping. He thought, isn’t this “rich widow” his mother Adelaide?

The information collected before did say that Baldwin's second wife was an Armenian woman.

But I didn't expect that it was the daughter of the prince Toros in front of me.

Roger thought, but fortunately, he did not report the name of Earl of Sicily.

In the notice I just handed over, I only said that my troops were the Catalan mercenaries hired by Bosimund.

If the other party knew his true identity, he would probably not be as easy as he is now.

His troops fought and marched along the way, and they slept in the open air, and had enough supplies to be used up, so they needed rest and rest.

Roger did not want to fight with them in the territory of the Armenians, who were said to be the best ally of the Eastern Expeditioners.

At this time, Xiao Boximond asked naively: "Since you know that he doesn't keep his word, why should you marry his daughter to him?"

Prince Toros replied calmly:

"Didn't you know this beforehand? Of course I wouldn't agree if I had known it.

“When he saw my beautiful daughter in Tassus, he started his pursuit.

“My daughter was also confused by his handsome appearance and happily promised.

"And I thought that he was the leader of the Eastern Expeditioners, the brother of Duke Goldfrey, a noble young man, so he also enjoyed the success and did not interfere.

"Who knew he was just a wife.

"His wife, Gothelde of Normandy, also joined him in the Eastern Expedition.

"But later his wife died on the Eastern Expedition and was buried not far from here.

"Then Baldwin then became the Earl of Edsar by tricks.

"Because there are many Armenians in Edessa, and to maintain his rule, it would not be possible without the cooperation of the Armenians.

“So he came to marry my daughter arda.

"The twelve Armenian elders of Edsaber came to persuade me.

“And my daughter has always been in love with him.

"So I agreed and married my daughter to him.

"Later Baldwin replaced his brother, Goldfrey, and became king of Jerusalem.

"I still think that my daughter is lucky enough to become a queen.

"I didn't expect that Hou Guan was not put on, but he suffered a great insult."

Little Boximond and Roger obediently stood in front of the audience, one seemed to not know how to comfort each other, and the other had no position to comfort each other, so they could only stand awkwardly.

Fortunately, Prince Toros complained a few times and then changed the subject.

He said he wanted to hold a banquet to welcome the Christian brothers, and he invited Little Bosimund in pure Latin.

At the same time, he also kindly invited Roger and his gang to participate, and did not look down on mercenaries because of the prince's noble status.

Xiao Boximond accepted it happily on behalf of everyone.

But Roger did not bring all the senior officers with him.

He asked Danny to command the troops to find a place to rest in the city.

He also asked Muttier to take people to the market to buy necessary supplies.

He himself took Henk, Odin, Shana and Zarro, and followed Little Bosimund, who was escorted by Rinaldi, to the castle to attend the banquet prepared for the Armenian Prince Torros on a whim.

After Roger entered the castle, he found that the decoration in the hall was similar to the style of Taranto Castle in Little Bosimund's hometown.

He almost thought he had entered a French castle with a slightly Armenian style.

After everyone sat down next to the long wooden square table in the center of the hall according to their own identities.

Little Bosimund, sitting in the host and guest position, expressed this doubt to Prince Toros, who was sitting in the host position.

He said: "Your Highness, your decoration here reminds me of my hometown, my mother of France, who likes to arrange the castle hall like this."

Prince Toros urged the attendant to serve the food, and said happily:

"It is true that we Armenian nobles and the Frank brothers who fought in the east have many common hobbies.

“For example, Armenian nobles like to live in mountain fortresses, surrounded by woods and farmland.

"They like strong and simple entertainment activities such as hunting, raising eagles, and martial arts competitions.

“At the major banquet, there were moon boys, bards and jugglers to entertain themselves.

"These are learned from the court life of French nobles."

Prince Toros stopped here, and he looked around and questioned the servant:

"Where have my moon boy, bard and juggler died? Why can't I come here?"
