The breeze blew the sea, and today was a rare and good weather. The sailors sang happily. The rough singing fluttered on the sea. As the sea breeze blew into the distance, dozens of sea boats carried the knights of the Teutonic Knights toward the port of the Antioch Kingdom. Schwab stood beside the captain and watched the experienced captain turn the circular rudder. As the captain swung the ship, the ship swayed and moved smoothly with the rhythm of the bō waves. Schwab thought he was not like a captain, leading his subordinates to the dream port, but whether the future was bright or dark was completely unpredictable.

"Sir, we have one more day to arrive at the port." The captain said leisurely. For sailors who have lived in the sea for most of their lives, this trip is worthy of boasting to his children and grandchildren.

"Thank you Captain." Schwab nodded and thanked the excellent captain.

"No, I should thank you sir." The captain turned his head, the wide captain's hat on his head was greasy and full of salt, his face was covered with red bumps burned by the sun, and his nose was big and ugly.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Schwab asked curiously. Although Schwab paid a higher fee than others for this voyage, Schwab knew that it was actually a dangerous gambling. Several times when he encountered storms, Schwab felt that he was about to reincarnate again. Speaking of the storm at sea, the storm at sea was extremely terrible. In addition to the Novedes, even the bravest knights would be scared.

"Look, it is precisely because of this journey that we cleared the sailing route. If we pull the Antioch tenon back to the mainland, I will never have to make a living on the sea for the second half of my life." The captain laughed and said, saying that the truth is that the Antioch spices can be sold on the mainland at the same price as gold.

"Good deal, but I hope you can continue to be employed by me for the time being. I need your ship and fleet." Schwab smiled and then said to the captain.

"Oh? You are not going to acquire a piece of territory here and pass it on to your descendants?" asked the captain curiously, while his strong arms and flexible hands kept maneuvering the rudder.

"No, I'm here just to complete a task, and when it's done, I'll go home." Yes, the northern territory, which is warmer than spring in summer and colder in other seasons, is only where it is home. The heat here makes Schwab feel uncomfortable.

When the Teutonic knights arrived at the port of Antioch, Queen Sophia's messenger immediately came to summon him. Schwab took William and Baron Liugudi and others to the Antioch Castle. Schwab, who saw this castle for the first time, couldn't help but admire the beautiful castle, but he soon thought about whether the enemy's army would be full of hope that the knights in the castle would be like jiāonèn's huād.

"Isn't it beautiful here, Lord Earl?" Little William said to Schwab, his face filled with a happy smile, and the joy of seeing Queen Sophia was as sweet as soaked in bees.

Passing through the tall city gates, winding roads, towers, and palaces are located on the west side of the castle. Queen Sophia sat on the throne, wearing a shiny golden crown and waiting for Schwab and his group with full of expectations. Sophia was curious about the commander of the Teutonic Knights that Little William mentioned.

"The commander of the Teutonic Knights, the Earl of Stockingshire, and Lord Schwab arrived~~~." As the commemorative announced loudly, Schwab walked in with a squat wearing a chain armor and a shirt covered with an eagle heraldic pattern.

"This is the commander of the Teutonic Knights, so young." The court ministers looked at the count who had traveled thousands of miles to surprise them in surprise.

"You are the Count Schwab." Queen Sophia smiled and stretched out her hand to let Schwab bow down and kiss her hand. Baron Liugudi and others could only bow their heads away from her. In the official view, those with low status were not likely to approach, but Queen Sophia's eyes were staring at Little William.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will come to serve you according to the Pope's order. As long as you issue an order, our swords will be swung to the heads of the pagans who threaten you and your kingdom's freedom." When Schwab raised his head, he saw the queen who was wearing the costume of a king and sitting majestic on the throne. Her face was as majestic as possible, or just to imitate this expression, but was actually just a young girl.

"Your Majesty will let you and your knights go to war at the right time, but the knights who are coming from afar should rest." At this time, the Antioch Palace next to him said, "This is an old nobleman with a bald head and a face full of old spots.

"What about your opinion?" Schwab did not answer, but looked at Queen Sophia.

"Oh, of course you and your knights will be treated by the Antioch people.

Queen Sophia looked at the palace scene and said as the palace scene.

"As you wish, your majesty." Schwab took a few steps back helplessly. After all, he was on the territory of the Antioch. Although Paogen wanted to go south immediately to meet Saladin, the Teutonic Knights could not support it without the logistics support of the Antioch.

"Why don't we let the Teutonic Knights go to support my uncle immediately?" Queen Sophia asked dissatisfiedly to her palace as Schwab and others retreated to the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, we don't know these people well enough. They are neither the Knights of the Hospital, nor the Knights Templar. How can we let them span the entire Antioch territory? What if a loot occurs?" Gong Xiang expressed his anxiety. Although they were knights of the same clan as the Antioch people, during the Second Crusade that year, poor York City also believed in the true gods, but they were still looted by the crusaders because of their carelessness.

"I believe it won't. Sir William told me that they are real knights." Queen Sophia was a little dissatisfied with the suspicion of the palace, and she couldn't help but defend herself.

"Yes, your Majesty, Sir William is indeed an upright knight, but don't forget that we don't know this Earl of Schwab at all." said the palace relative to the queen.

"So OK." Queen Sophia had to retreat in front of the stubborn palace prefect, after all, what he said made sense.

The courtyard of Antioch Castle was as beautiful as the whole castle. Schwab and his men sat in the courtyard enjoying wine and food, and the dancing girls in violent clothes danced gracefully. The food and wine for hospitality were rich, but the attitude of the Antioch was cold, and they seemed not to be interested in the arrival of the Teutonic Knights.

"What's going on? Why are the Antiochs so neglected?" Baron Liugudi frowned.

He said to Schwab with a voice.

"I don't know, Baron William, you can get down to Queen Sophia and ask what's going on?" Schwab also wondered. According to the arrival of a powerful Knights, the Antiochs who were surrounded by enemies should have been expected at this time, but why are they so cold?

"Yes, Lord Earl." Although William had been adopted by Schwab as his adopted son, he still used to calling Schwab the Earl, indicating that Schwab was the monarch he followed.

At the Huā Garden where Queen Sophia often goes, Little William found her. She was taking care of the withered huād in the Huā Garden. The two were very happy to meet again, but because of the previous attack by Queen Sophia, the guards and the shì girl were inseparable from Queen Sophia, which made the two unable to express their feelings.

"I'm sorry, Sir William." Sophia said with apologies.

"It's the baron, your majesty." Little William said with a proud god.

"What?" Sofia asked in confusion.

"I have been officially appointed Baron Mark by Earl Schwab. I am a noble with a fiefdom and an adopted son of Earl Schwab." "Congratulations, but even without the canonization of Lord Schwab, I will choose a new territory for you to save my life." Queen Sophia said with a smile.

"Ah, you and Lord Schwab are equally generous to me. But I don't understand, don't the Antioch people welcome us?" Little William asked in confusion.

"No, it's not like that. It's just that the commander of the Knights Templar has sent a letter. It seems that there is a misunderstanding between him and your Lord Schwab." Sophia said in embarrassment. She looked down at a beautiful Lanhuā and did not dare to look up at Little William's eyes. After all, she personally invited the arrival of the Teutonic Knights, but now she is suspected of driving Schwab and others away.

"This is unfair. We are fighting for God and the Holy See. Lei Ruo has no right to interfere in our actions." Little William said angrily. Perhaps because his voice was too loud, the guards around him became alert, put their hands on the hilt of the sword, and looked here at the same time.

"I'm sorry, but please rest assured that Antioch is an independent kingdom, and Lei Ruo can only influence and cannot order me. But now the Saladin army knocks on the edge, we can only avoid unnecessary trouble." Sophia said helplessly. Although the queen is supreme, who knows that she cannot help herself. When his uncle went to deal with Saladin and the barrier that resisted the storm left, Sophia realized how helpless she was.

"Yes, sorry, your majesty, I shouldn't be angry., Little William looked at Sophia's little face and knew how helpless she was. The powerful armed forces of the Knights Templars were enough to influence the likes and dislikes of the Antiochs. Just when he was upset, he suddenly saw the small cross on Sophia's neck. Isn't that his own? Thinking of this, he felt a warmth in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (q to m to m) to vote for recommendations.
