Roger shouted: "Go north, go to the cathedral!"

So all the guards, wrapped in Roger and Bosimmond, ran towards the north of Sophia Cathedral.

They used their swords to drive away the poor and thugs who blocked the road, and killed several people who blocked the road from time to time.

But there were still constant chaos in the turmoil rushing in front of them to block the way.

The team cannot move faster.

Roger felt that they were climbing in the mud.

He even had the feeling of going back to later generations and going to visit Nanjing Road during National Day.

Roger turned around and saw that those Valangi had deviated from the way forward.

They inserted diagonally, but rushed towards them.

In the other two directions, the cavalry drove away the rioters as before.

The situation is already very obvious, and the real threat is Varangi.

Roger ordered a full speed retreat.

So the guards stopped slashing and assassinating.

They lined up sideways, used sword sheaths as shields to form a shield wall.

Then they shouted loudly and rushed hard, like an armored vehicle, knocking down all the people blocking the road and knocking away.

Roger took Little Bosimund and stomped over the man who fell.

This time, the travel speed is much faster.

Soon, they rushed to the edge of Augustus Square.

Next, Roger didn't know how to leave.

He was not sure whether the Orthodox Sophia Cathedral would provide shelter to these Christians.

Roger thought of Patriarch Kosma's respect for secular lords.

He felt that the Orthodox Patriarch was very likely to dare not stop the emperor's personal guards.

So Roger did not order his men and rushed into Sophia Cathedral.

He wanted to go to Kinmen and meet his swordsmen.

But he didn't know where there was another way to lead to the Kinmen and let him leave.

Just as Roger was wandering, he heard someone shouting in front of him: "Here, here!"

He saw a man in ordinary clothes at the church door, waving at them.

Henk pointed to the man and shouted, "It's him, it's him, and the person who sent the letter that day was this."

Roger hesitated a little. He didn't know whether he should believe this mysterious stranger.

But the screams of constant approaching behind Roger knew that he didn't have many choices.

So Roger decided decisively: "Follow up!"

Roger and his gang ran over to meet the stranger.

Then, under the leadership of strangers, they bypassed the Sophia Cathedral and ran all the way.

Finally they rushed into a stone house with open doors.

When they just closed the heavy wooden door and inserted the door bolt.

Roger heard a dull sound of "dong".

He saw a sharp axe blade protruding from the thick wooden door.

The axe blade retreated.

Roger saw the fierce leader of the Varangi Guard from the crack.

The stranger said to Roger: "It is Harold Hadrada, the leader of the Valangi Guard, who is the deputy emperor John."

Henk and his guards were busy moving the furniture in the house to block the door.

Roger walked to the window that looked like a narrow slit.

He saw the vicious leader Varangi and was directing his men to chop the wooden door.

He felt that this man's face seemed familiar.

The wooden door was cut like a drum by "dongdong".

But Roger knew that they wouldn't rush in for a while.

He felt that he should talk to this leader named Harold.

He felt that negotiations could be used to resolve some misunderstandings.

Roger shouted to the leader: "Harold."

The man turned around and looked at Roger through the narrow-slit window.

Roger asked, "Why?"

Harold clenched his fist and raised his thumbs up, then looked down a little.

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

He said: "The blood debt is paid back."

Roger didn't know what Harold said meant.

He turned around and asked Linardi: "What kind of deep hatred do we have with Valangi?"

Linardi said: "In the Battle of Dilasium, we Normans defeated the Valangi Guards with guns and broke their undefeated myth. They collapsed and fled like dogs one by one, but many of them were chased and killed by us."

So Roger knew that it was related to honor and hatred, and there was no way to solve it by persuasion or money.

He thought, it seemed that Harold had made up his mind to kill his group.

Roger thought that although the other party could not get in for a while, it was unsafe to be trapped here, and he needed to run to the city gate as soon as possible.

Before he could think of a solution, he heard Harold shouting outside: "Burn them to death!"

Roger saw several clay pots thrown over.

Some hit the door, some hit the window.

The clay pot was broken and liquid splashed in.

Then Roger saw the other party throwing a torch.

The flames rushed up quickly.

The guards in the room were carrying the water from the water tank in the room to punch the fire that was splashing in.

But the fire was not extinguished by the water, but floated on the surface, and as the water began to flow, more items were ignited along the way.

Rinaldi shouted in surprise: "Greek fire, this is a Greek fire, who can't put out the Greek fire!"

Roger knew that this must be because the fuel was lighter than water, so the flame could float on the water.

This kind of fire is inextinguishable from water, and it will only allow it to flow away and burn a wider range.

He thought that in later generations, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or dry powder fire extinguishers could be used to extinguish them.

Or a little simpler, you can use sand and soil.

Roger looked down at the foot of his feet and saw that there were floor tiles.

There is no way to get enough sand in this place to extinguish the flames.

The thick wooden door had already begun to burn, and flames rushed in through the gaps split by the axe, igniting the furniture that blocked the door inside.

The thick smoke began to spread.

Roger felt that if they didn't think of a solution, they might have been smoked to death before burning.

He grabbed the stranger's clothes and shouted at him in a roar:

"What to do? What to do now!"

The stranger was very panicked by Roger.

He waved his arms and said, "Let's go here, let's go here!"

So Roger let him go.

The man stumbled forward and led the way.

Now that the fire has started, there is no need to consider that Valangi will rush in.

So everyone followed the stranger.

But the man did not take them to the back door, or any other exit.

He led Roger and his gang to walk down a staircase into the basement.

The shaking flames hit the light into the basement.

Roger looked at the basement, which was empty, except for a huge cabinet, and there were walls on all three sides.

The flames above became bigger and bigger.

Roger said angrily to the stranger who led the way:

"Are you choosing a tomb for us?"

The man did not explain to Roger, but he pounced on the cabinet.

He said: "Help me and move it away."

Roger realized that there might be something wrong with this cabinet.

So everyone stepped forward together and moved the huge cabinet away with all their might.
Chapter completed!
