Everyone wants to achieve military achievements

Just as Zhao Taifu and his friends arrived in Cyprus early that morning, Louis IX and his brothers were talking about the situation in front of them. They were also King Henry of Cyprus, Girami II de Sonak, the Grand Commander of the Templars, and Gildom I de Chatnifer of the Knights of St. John.

Sitting at one end of the long table was Louis IX, wearing a crown on his head. Next to him was his most respected brother, Earl of Artowa. Although Henry, the master of the master, also wore a crown on his head, the strongest person here is Louis IX.

He had an army of 140,000, transported by 1,800 warships from Genoa and France, and supplied supplies. Although the Knights Templar and the Knights of the Hospital were not weak, they were mainly well-equipped knights. Although their combat power was quite strong, their number was too small after all.

"At this time the Mongols who occupied the Santars had entered the Near East, should we send people to join them, if we can gain Egypt as our foothold, or we can..."

The scepter in Louis IX's hand pointed at the so-called "Golden Horde" position on the map in front of him. Henry, the king of Cyprus, had no objection to this matter. He had a full and thick beard, which made him look like a brave and reckless person.

In fact, the king of Cyprus was a very careful and intelligent person. He agreed that the King of the Fa used Cyprus as the base for launching an attack. Although there were religious reasons, he also had helplessness in it.

Conquering the entire Arab Empire was the dream of these disciples. But what they really dreamed of was the huge economic benefits hidden in the East. As for the Knights Templar and the Knights of the Hospital, they were no longer the original intention of the establishment.

The great wealth of the Knights Templar has become the dream target of many knights. However, the Knights who lost the Holy City dreamed of regaining Jerusalem.

"In fact, we can directly conquer Jerusalem, or we..."

Compared with the Knights Templar, Gildom I de Chatnifer, who was quite weak in strength and lacked a large amount of property, was interrupted by Gildom I de Chatnifer, the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar.

"His Grand Commander, did I not hear it? Is it Jerusalem? It is hard for you to understand at all. Will it have any impact on us? If I say it is His Majesty who is right. The alliance with the Golden Horde will prevent the governors of other Arab provinces from interfering with us. Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps we can take Egypt in one fell swoop. If so, or we can use that as a foothold, and not always trouble His Majesty Henry!"

As the "creditor" who provided many loans to Louis IX, the Knights Templars were unwilling to put Louis IX into Jerusalem, which would cause resistance from the entire Arab Empire. At most, attacking Egypt was the support and resistance of the soldiers of the descendants of Saladin. If Egypt could be occupied, it would be possible to form and continuously join the knights who were eager for wealth and conquest to join.

The arrival of these people is more in line with the hope of the Templar Templar than a country controlling the Crusade. After all, the joining of those knights will make the Templar Templar grow rapidly, and arm more troops with its huge wealth, and eventually regain the glory and glory of the former Crusader.

This sentence was completely blocked, and the advice of the Grand Commander Gildom I de Chatnifer of the Knights of St. John. He turned around in disappointment. Behind him stood his accompanying priest, the chief secretary of the Saracen and one entourage, which was almost the same as the subordinates of the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar.

The few behind him answered him with their eyes, and the questions raised by him were raised. The Grand Commander Gildom I de Chatnifer of the Knights of St. John sighed softly, knowing that restoring the Holy City was not a matter of one or two days. Without Louis's army's help, there would be nothing in the future.

"Well, since your Majesty has this plan, we have to be equal, and will provide the powerful power of our hospital Knights for His Majesty's sacred expedition! We will not only provide enough knights, but also provide medical priests and provide sufficient support to the army."

Louis IX bent down slightly to express his gratitude, and the corner of his brother Earl Artowa, who was standing behind him, showed a hint of undetectable smile.

At this time, there was a kind of proposal to attack the Holy City. How could it be said that there was something unrestrained? What else could be said in Jerusalem? When the Kingdom of Jerusalem was defeated, there was almost nothing worth nostalgic about there. Of course, for the pilgrims, there was still a place they yearned for. Unfortunately, Louis IX led the army here, not a pilgrimage activity.

In addition, the Earl of Artuva did not want his brother to change his goals after listening to his words. In contrast, in addition to having better interests in Egypt, what is more important is that this does not match his goal. What he is the goal is for the time being. But what we can tell you is that he is the Western noble who is in contact with Bahayi, the governor of the province of Bershall.

When he saw that Gildom I, de Chatnifer of the Knights of St. John, gave up his proposal to attack the Holy City, the Earl of Artowa took advantage of the situation and proposed by his brothers.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead our fleet to attack Damietta. Now the command is still in our hands. I think if it is later, someone will probably take over his position, and then..."

Louis IX shook his head slowly, knowing that his brother was a brave knight. But it was not a good time to attack Damietta, the foothold of Egypt.

"Carlos is very strange. That night we heard him give a young knight, and he was an Arab nobleman. I really don't know how to treat him. I wonder if I should keep him for a while, maybe his family will soon come with ransom!"

Of course, the Earl of Artuva did not want this to happen. He always patrolled the sea with his warships. If there were indeed people from Carlos's family, they would definitely not escape the pursuit of the patrol warships. Therefore, he just smiled and said.

"Yes, your majesty, your kindness is unparalleled in the world, but I am worried that Carlos's family may have given up on him. Today is the final deadline!"

On the island of Cyprus, the tent of Louis IX's military camp was discussing the future, and in the palaces far away in Egypt, they were also discussing the future war.

"My Majesty, please allow me to lead some cavalry to reinforce Damietta, and I am worried that the Frank Crusaders will attack there. If they are given a foothold on the shore, they will..."

Saleh Naidimdin, who sat high on the throne, was the Egyptian Sultan. The person who knelt on one knee below was the energetic general Baibirs, an officer trained by Saleh Naidimdin himself, from slaves to generals.

Saleh Naidimdin has any fullness for his impeccable loyalty.

"Ah, I think there is someone to take charge of it, but Carlos from Cote was sent by Badag Caliph after all. If we were not good, we would deprive him of his authority unless he really couldn't come back! But I have heard that a few days ago a group of weird people bought a boat to Cyprus, and I guess that might be his family, and if so, he would probably return there soon.

Even without him, I think I have to send another warrior to the King of Baghdad. You know that this matter involves many things, so... but I understand your heart. When I lead my troops to fight in the future, you will be the general of my vanguard!"

Like almost all empires, the court of the Saleh dynasty in Egypt was not as peaceful as it seemed. The loss of the opportunity to go to Damietta and annex the Mamluk cavalry led by Governor Kot, which made Baibls feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Before the ceremony was finished and about to leave the palace, I had a black veil on my face to the one next to the throne, and Abaya's robe was also made of black veil, and there was no gauze on her face. On the contrary, a string of casual and unthinkable lines could not be covered. Some small pearls were stringed together like curtains to cover them.

Through them, she could see her bright eyes. The light green pupils under her long eyelashes were shining with a certain light. It was precisely because of her boldness and of course because of her intelligence. Therefore, Saleh Naidimdin could no longer live without this concubine, and often allowed her to listen to these things in the palace when she was discussing these things.

She was mentioned earlier. She was the concubine of Saleh Naidimdin, Schejlai Dur, also known as the pearl branch. Although she was able to become a famous Muslim queen in Egyptian history, she ended up in a miserable way, but she was definitely not an easy woman to deal with.

Two pairs of eyes, which were young, collided with each other. Bybers was only 25 years old at that time, and was one of the people Saleh Naidimdin trusted the most. Pearl Sprig was still young at this time, but only 19 years and a few months old. But in the palace, her scheming and wrists had made her a powerful person.

The two of them had a brief gaze and quickly moved away. If such a look of eyes was found in Saleh Naidimdin's court, it would be a great sin.
