Chapter 77: Departure Ceremony
Today in Jerusalem, many streets appeared much quieter and emptier than usual. The people had all gathered before the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to watch the departure ceremony for the Crusade marching north. A dense tide of humans blocked everything, making passage impossible.
With Regent Raymond needing to head north, all affairs of the Knights of Jerusalem fell into the hands of Baron Godfrey, who served as Commander. He rode alongside Lothar on their warhorses, conducting a patrol.
Lothar chuckled, teasing, "Baron Godfrey, your dark circles look like the eye powder used by those Saracen slave girls. It seems the position of Commander isn't so easy either."
Godfrey retorted irritably, "I haven't had a good night's sleep in three days! The Knights of Jerusalem are vastly larger in scale than the Royal Knights!"
