Chapter 316 It is better to be famous than to meet.
The name "De" is essentially "from", just like the German "Feng".
The surname behind is actually the hometown of Gerris' ancestors, or the territory of his ancestors, representing his noble status.
Geris de Villeroy, the name should be interpreted as: Geris from Villeroy.
David Southland had never heard of the place of Villeroy. Perhaps this territory really exists on the Frankish land, or it is simply the result of the nonsense of the ancestor Gerris.
There are actually many precedents in this, after all, the Crusades gave time to many people from humble origins.
Take the Iberin family that David Soslan had heard of, it was a wealthy nobleman who had jumped from the past to the same kingdom between two generations.
Maybe, so is Gerris.
The past is worthless, and by chance, it has been the highest power of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
But no matter what Gerris' family background is, it will not change a reality. His current power and prestige are enough to change the political situation in the Levant region.
You should know that now, the Kingdom of Jerusalem is different now, and the geopolitics that the Kingdom of Georgia dreamed of has been actually completed by the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
In other words, a buffer country is set up outside the core territory of the country to avoid the barbaric plunder of the Saracens.
After years of development, Jerusalem not only restored its own land, but also truly endowed Antioch, Damascus and Cyprus, becoming a regional power and entering the golden age of a country.
Thinking in your shoes, it is obviously unlikely that such a powerful man would appear alone in the chaotic Anatolia as the husband of the king of Jerusalem.
You must know that even David Southlan dared to cross Anatolia alone, because that was really too dangerous.
Therefore, David Southland's first reaction was that the man lied and was pretending to be a nobleman in Jerusalem and thus tried to seek benefits.
But what benefits can we seek?
For a moment, David didn't understand.
In this doubt, David changed his thinking to details that had not been taken seriously before. "You said that the other party just waved his hand and let the arrows shot from you land on the ground?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I wanted to teach the other party a lesson at that time, but... I can't hurt him no matter what."
Hovanis repeated the scene at that time, when he had just finished I wanted to draw the sword, but I found that my sword had already been put on my neck.
The two sides are not at the same level at all.
After listening, David pinched his chin, and became increasingly suspicious whether Hovanis was covering up his incompetence and thus fabricating such a lie.
Unless it is a wizard or a devil, how can ordinary people have such power?
As a mature military commander, even though David Southlan did not doubt the existence of a wizard or a devil, he would try his best to maintain his rational thinking and avoid being interfered with by these unrelated information on the battlefield.
After thinking, David Southlan ordered: "Don't the other party want to meet me? Then let him come over by himself and you can send me this message."
Hearing David's words, Hovanis was quite in tears.
But he also knew what he said, and anyone with a brain might easily believe it.
After all, the saints of Jerusalem, the head of Cyprus, and the imams... These series of names, in other words, are definitely pretending to be gods and ghosts, and those who go from village to village to village and alleys. There is no difference between a charlatan and a liar.
But he really saw that the other party waved his hand and the arrow would not hurt him!
At that time, there were still more than a hundred people who could help him with proof!
However, Howanis also knew that once David Southlan began to get into a stubborn position, he would only believe in his guesses more and more. Until he saw it with his own eyes, he might be able to let go of prejudice. Face reality.
Until then, it was impossible for him to persuade David Southland.
To be honest, Hovanis was willing to disobey David's orders and was not willing to make Gerris uncomfortable in front of Gerris.
After all, disobeying David's orders will at most be dismissed, but if Gerris is angered, Hovanis will feel that no one in the world can protect him.
"Your Majesty, can you change someone else? I'm a little uh..."
Hovanis originally wanted to find some reason, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't get the answer. So he said frankly.
"...I am a waste, I really cannot complete your order!"
David Soslan looked at Hovanis quite badly, but it was When I met the other party, I dared not to execute my orders.
Even in this way, I admit that I am a waste and corrupt my reputation.
You must know that in this era, for aristocrats, there is actually no difference between the death of society.
Hovanis's family will be shamed for him! "Do you know what this means?"
David Southlan's hand was already touching his sword around his waist. Hovanis refused his orders, but this was actually It is to question your own authority. If other people in the army follow suit, then the hearts of this person will be dispersed and the team will be difficult to lead.
"I, I know."
After taking a deep breath, David Soslan did not draw his sword after all. After all, the other party was an Armenian nobleman and there was still something useful in the future.
"I will change someone to inform the other party, I hope he can be as magical as you said."
Hovanis, who escaped the disaster, hurriedly thanked him. After leaving David's camp, he did not dare to tell others what happened during this period.
…
People's use of land actually has marginal benefits. Suitable land is always the first to be cultivated by people, followed by some, and then connected into pieces and spread around until it touches the boundaries of the farming area.
And then, in areas where it was not appropriate to directly obtain nutrients from the land through farmland, people will rely on grass-livestock-dairy products to intake enough nutrients in order to live.
Different from many people's perceptions, it is not very common for herders to eat livestock they raise.
If an ordinary shepherd family starts to eat meat in big stutters, it actually means that their herds are beginning to decrease in irrepressible.
After all, dairy products represent interest from cattle and sheep, while eating meat means that the principal of the herdsmen is being consumed.
However, whether it is eating meat or dairy products, it means that the food of the herdsmen is particularly single. Even if you find some wild vegetables during the grazing process, it is better than nothing.
In the absence of vitamin intake, a series of diseases such as scurvy, night blindness, or beriberiosis are entangled with herdsmen.
Geris naturally thought about solving this problem, so he reclaimed vegetable fields near the Arslan tribe settlement, trying to help them find more suitable vegetables for growing. Of course, we can also solve our own food problem by the way. We can't always follow Arslan to eat dairy products.
Geris felt a little uncomfortable with his stomach.
In addition to farming by himself every day, Gerris occasionally goes out to hunt to see if he can find some prey and improve his food.
At the end of the day's hunting, I found a wild boar and knocked it out and carried it home, walking to the mountain pass.
Geris's face was a little subtle, and his mouth and eyes were a little unnatural.
The scene in front of him made him feel distressed.
The carefully cultivated vegetable garden in our home is now being ravaged by a group of peasant soldiers from the Kingdom of Georgia.
Many of those people were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the flags on the side represented their belongings. At this moment, people were raising green vegetables.
Whether it is the tender green spinach or the newly unearthed lettuce leaves, they are greedily picked.
What is even more infuriating is that there are a few horses who are unrestrainedly allowed to be left in their own vegetable fields, trampling around, and gnawing on the tender leaves that are not yet mature.
Take two deep breaths, Gerris threw the tied wild boar to the ground, and then moved his muscles slightly.

He greeted the group and then walked up.
The people were originally a little confused, but then they were stunned.
The other party was obviously a little angry, so when he started, he was unconsciously a little heavy, which was a bit hard.
…
It was still in the barracks near Erzurum that David Soslan received a group of defeated soldiers.
The appearance of these defeated soldiers was terrible. Although they all had healthy limbs and had not even cut off their armor, their faces looked particularly terrifying.
Some people's eyes were blue and swollen, leaving only a thin slit;
Some people's nose bridge was crooked, and blood was dry on their cheeks.
Some people's mouths are swollen, their teeth are loose, and even their speech is hoarse;
Some people even have their cheekbones collapsed, and one eye is almost impossible to open, as if they are being thrust by some huge number. The object was crushed.
But in the end, apart from losing his helmet and abandoning his armor and his bruised nose and swollen faces, these dozens of people actually did not suffer much.
But their respective panic emotions began to spread like a plague.
When David Southlan saw these people, they all looked very devastated. Some people subconsciously protected their cheeks with their hands, fearing that they would be fists that appeared from nowhere.
Another person was frightened and his whole body was trembling, his steps were as if he could fall at any time.
After all, these dozens of people could not beat one person, which really subverted their past life perception.
Facing this situation, David Southlan's fist had already squeezed its veins and burst.
The entourage beside him, after completing the measurement, returned to David Southlan, with a rather uneasy expression, which seemed particularly unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, you can be sure that it was indeed a man who fought. Whether it was armor or shield, they all left a complete fist mark."
"The marks are so clear that they can be distinguished. With a slight comparison of the arc of the knuckles, you can confirm that the same person was taking the hand."
After hearing what his follower said, David's face became unspeakable.
Could it be that a real person in this world can bring down dozens of soldiers with just a fist?
I even deformed the shield and armor with my fists!
But no matter how David Southlan felt like a dream, the evidence in front of him was as strong as a mountain, so he could not believe it.
In this case, he gave an order to the side.
"Come Hovanis, I have something to ask him."
...
The mountains and grasslands intersect in the sun, and the boundary between heaven and earth is blurred here.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and undulating, and at the foot of the mountain are sparse pine forests.
From down, the mountain is gradually slowing down, and the mountain streams wind out, merging into the grasslands in the lowlands.
The grassland here is not as vast as the sea of grass, but is undulating and divided into soft slopes by hills and rock hills.
On such a beautiful and picturesque land, the husband of the Georgian king was marching with a team of nearly three hundred people.
When we arrived halfway up the mountain, David Southlan looked out to the west and found that it was not far from his military camp, which was just a schedule of more than half a day of riding a horse.
In fact, David Southland didn't plan to come.
But his two waves of soldiers were defeated by Garys one after another, and he could no longer control the spread of rumors in the army.
Although those rumors are not defeatist remarks, the awe contained in them seriously shakes the will of the army, making it difficult for them to concentrate on the war.
You should know that this is not groundless, but that there are more than a hundred people who confirm each other, and even shields and helmets can be used as physical evidence.
Just compare the fist marks on those shields, it will be enough to make ordinary soldiers exclaim that there are such powerful men in the world!
Then he thought of the other party’s name as the saint of Jerusalem, and began to feel a stir in his heart.
The Georgian army is not an iron army. At most, it is a slightly more reliable mob. It is impossible to restrict the spread of rumors in the army.
In order to solve this problem, David Southlan, as the commander of the army, could only go there personally to verify whether the rumors were true, so as to calm the inexplicable emotions in the army.
However, when he came to Garys' hut and met Garys himself, he felt that Garys was a guy who was not as famous as meeting him.
The thirty-year-old man in front of him seemed to be no different from ordinary farmers except for his handsome face and figure.
He even personally reclaimed the land in the summer and worked in the farmland. Apart from removing the clothes a little cleaner, he showed that he was no different from the farmers David had met.
After seeing David Southlan, Gerrys did not care about the troops behind him at all. He just inserted the dung spoon in his hand back into the dung bucket and called the noble Majesty to his house A narration.
In this way, two men with the most noble status in the Middle East met. One had a entourage with 300 people behind him, and one was just a Turkic apprentice. Even just now, he was still there Water farm manure into the vegetable field.
