Roger lay on a small slope next to him Baldwin, Earl of Edsa.

The dead grass dried by the scorching September sun perfectly obscured them both.

Roger looked through the gaps of dead grass and looked at the large gravel Gobi Desert in front of him.

He saw Rugero with his troops and retreating into the Gobi Desert.

They didn't run fast and turned around and fought back from time to time.

Behind them, 4,000 Turkic archers were suppressed, just like African hyenas who were attacking the lions by virtue of their numerical advantage.

Whenever the heavy cavalry turned back and attacked, they stopped and retreated.

But they did not retreat far, as if they were sure that the heavy cavalry could not catch up with them.

The heavy cavalry's counterattack was not determined, and they always flicked a shot and then continued to retreat.

So these rebellious Turks surrounded and chased after them again.

They chased after him, and as they approached Rugero's heavy cavalry, they shot out a rain of arrows.

Then when the heavy cavalrymen were in agitation to fight back, they retreated.

These people chased, stopped, and walked through the gravel Gobi Desert.

Seeing that they still had a long way to go, Roger asked Baldwin:

"Your subordinates have been enlightened by the other party's nail, don't you care?"

Baldwin replied with a serious face: "It's not that lunatic Gillard, who is pestering me desperately.

"I had injured Joselin's head before, but fortunately I was not seriously injured.

"I promised to act, why did he fight so hard?

"If I hadn't dealt with him with all my might, I would have to be injured. How could I have time to care about others?"

Roger recalled the previous duel.

He thought, after all, we are not actors, they are all real warriors who are used to fighting on weekdays.

Under the crowd's watch, no one wanted to lose for the sake of face, so they all used their real skills.

The original good performance was just a fight, and it turned into a real duel.

Roger complained: "All of them are Christian brothers. The one who takes the nail hammer is too ruthless. Does he really want the lives of you Edessa people?"

"It's possible," Baldwin said.

"He's crazy?"

Baldwin: "Maybe it was a grudge from the past, maybe he had a relative who died at the hands of the Edessa Knight, who knows?"

Roger: "Or it was because of that showdown between you and Doncred?"

Baldwin: “That’s not a showdown, it’s an aggression!

"It was Doncred's war of aggression launched to capture Edessa!

"In that war, we, Edessa, died a lot of Antiochs, and of course, we also killed many Antiochs.

"But we are just, they are unjust."

Roger could clearly hear the strong resentment in Baldwin's tone.

Many years have passed since this incident, and even Doncred has passed away, but Baldwin still can't let go of this resentment.

Therefore, although those Antioch Guests and Edessa who had once formed blood feuds have reached an alliance on the surface, they may not be able to let go in their hearts.

So it is not surprising that the promise of acting will become a life-and-death battle.

Roger thought that Rugero poked his dagger at that time, but he had no intention of being polite at all.

If it weren't for the fact that my chain mail was strong enough, I would have really explained it.

Of course, it seems that I didn't let the water go until I got beaten.

The resentment towards Rugero's insulting words that had been suppressed before erupted at that moment.

At that time, I thought about smashing the stinky mouth, but it really hit it.

If the other party hadn't called for surrender, he would have really beaten him to death.

Roger was a little ashamed. His suggestion of doing a scene and pretending to be an insider almost caused a real disaster.

He thought that the key was that he did not understand the conflicts between various people on this land and the land.

Now he understood a little.

The water here is very deep and muddy.

Just as Roger was thinking about it, Rugero led his troops to the small dirt slope.

Then he ordered the Antioch cavalry to turn around and form a formation.

When the enemy saw that Rugero's troops stopped running, they slowly pressed forward.

Rugero sat on the horse and said condescendingly to Roger and Baldwin, who were lying on the ground:

"You two gay guys have been in the grass for so long, are you doing well? Do you still have the strength to fight?"

Baldwin said in a muffled manner: "I really want to kill him during the duel."

Rugero didn't know if he didn't hear it or if he didn't hear it, so he continued to say with a smile:

"Hi, don't just be patient with your own intimacy, and exclude me."

Roger also said fiercely: "Me too, I wanted to kill him at that time. Otherwise, we have done him now?"

Baldwin agreed: "Very good advice."

Rugero said in a trembling voice:

"No, no, you can't do this. We are allies now, and the enemy is currently in the face of us, and we should always be external."

Rugero's voice sounded like he was scared, but if combined with his exaggerated expression, anyone could tell that he was just making fun of him.

Then Rugero added:

"I actually don't want to break up you, I just want to join you."

Roger was itchy and wanted to jump up now and chop this guy up.

He had knocked out several of Rugero's teeth before, which seemed to give this bastard's poisonous tongue more room to play.

Baldwin couldn't stand the stinky mouth, and he said, "Let's go and prepare too."

Then he turned over first, went down the dirt slope, and ran to the middle of his 59 Edessa cavalry.

Roger followed Baldwin and also went down the dirt slope and returned to the ranks of 20 personal guards and 600 Norman heavy cavalry that lined up neatly behind the dirt slope.

When Rugero at the top of the small slope sounded the horn of the attack.

Roger and Baldwin led the way and rushed out with the cavalry.

They climbed over the slope and joined Rugero's troops, like a torrent of steel, charging in the sky with arrows.

The 4,000 archers of the rebels were driven away like flies on carrion, and then "boomed" to scatter.

They turned around and ran desperately, trying to distance themselves from the heavy cavalry.

But these horses under the Turkic seat seemed to have been cast by a spell and were unwilling to run away.

The clever Turks seemed to have discovered the mystery of the terrain and they shouted loudly.

Roger heard a Turkic warrior in his friendly army shouting:

"They see through it, hurry up, catch up with them! Don't let them run away!"

Roger sneered, even if the Turks understood, what if they wanted to run away, it would be too late.

After they entered this gravel Gobi Desert, they had already stepped into the trap.

The subtlety of this trap is that it will only become a trap when traveling at high speed. On weekdays, it is a smooth road for anyone to pass through.

Perhaps some Turks already understood when they entered this Gobi Desert that it was not suitable for fast horses to gallop here.

But when they feel that they are sure to win, they naturally don’t care about this. Perhaps they think that the terrain is good and can prevent Christians from running away quickly.

Until they find that the power of Christians suddenly increases to the point where they cannot bear it.

Roger thought proudly while chasing carefully.

He relaxed the reins and let the "Gift II" choose the right place to move forward.

He trusts his horse and does not urge it at all, or tries to control it.

An anxious Turkic man stabbed the horse's buttocks with a dagger and forced the horse to run.

Although their horses immediately ran out of speed, they soon fell to the ground one by one.

The Turks were immediately thrown out and smashed heavily on the hard Gobi Desert.

They just wrapped their heads with cloth and smashed them on the gravel, bursting like ripe watermelons, and red and white splashed out.
