"When it comes to partitioning Cilicia, Robert will have to consider my opinion. I am the Supreme Lord of Pisa; the Pisa Fleet answers to me," Eric said.
"You mean the Marchioness," Belem corrected with a smile.
"Close enough." Eric waved his hand dismissively.
....
Events developed beyond Eric's expectations, and his run of bad luck was far from over.
On the second day after leaving Mamistra City, a vast army of knights caught up with Eric and his party.
Leading this army were the Count of Pontieu, the Count of Boulogne, Count Evler, the Count of Ghent, and of course, Stephen, the Count of Blois, who had come along for the excitement.
They led over a thousand knights, along with a dense swarm of attendants and sergeants.
They claimed to be under orders from Robert, sent to support Eric's attack on the Antioch Turks.
