Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 29: Threat

"Are you really letting us go like this, Lord Justinian?" Sir Baptiste asked at this moment, the man still couldn't help but wonder. This is the second time, and Justinian released them so happily that he didn't even mention a harsh condition. This is still the case now, even if the young man in front of him absolutely knows the consequences of releasing thousands of prisoners in this way, there is no way to weaken the power of Achaia.

But the young man in front of him tilted his head slightly and asked, "Otherwise?"

"All the Greeks regard us as absolute enemies. Eliminate them all quickly!" Baptiste said coldly about this fact. Since the fall of Constantinople, the Latins and Byzantiums in the west The people of the empire were completely in the same situation. Achaia ruled in Moria and did not know how many people were killed, and his own side did not know how many people died as a result of the revenge of the Greeks. In the past year, it can be said that the two sides have long been red eyes, but Justinian is the first time Baptiste has met someone who is not blinded by this kind of hatred. It can be said that all his actions serve his own purposes... and it is precisely this that makes him difficult to understand.

"Because in their eyes you are foreign robbers, and naturally everyone wants to kill the robbers quickly."

"What about you, Lord Justinian? I am very curious about your attitude. I really can't think of the reason why you let us go!" Baptiste bluntly asked the question in his heart, questioning Chas before him. Denny.

And this really caused a cold sweat from the back of the Viscount Senna who was beside him, for fear that Justinian would be irritated and could not help but he said, "Baptiste!"

But Justinian did not feel annoyed, but replied faintly: "The reason is very simple, because we don’t have to be enemies...Of course, the premise is that you leave the territory that belongs to us. I hope your Excellency Senna can tell when he returns Your Excellency William said that, for us now, whether it is Latins or Greeks, mutual prejudice does not do any good. I hope you will do it for yourself."

"But you also know that this is impossible, Your Excellency Justinian, I don't think you really naively thought that we would just surrender like this! The city of Argos is only temporarily in your hands!"

"Then let me wait and see!"

With that, in the voice of Justinian’s command, the Roman army obeyed his command and released the encirclement to let the disarmed Achaean army leave safely. At the same time, the garrison of Argos also opened the city. After surrendering, I saw some Latin immigrants in the city who were unwilling to stay because they were afraid of revenge and fled the city and prepared to leave here together, and Justinian did not intervene to stop anything, but watched the scene quietly.

But at this moment, Nevsky walked up to him slowly, lowering his voice and said:

"Do you really want to do this, Justinian?"

"Why not?"

"You should be clear that these people will come back as soon as they turn around. I don't think you are a soft-hearted person when your heart is cruel. Why do you do this?" Nevsky did not directly express his dissatisfaction, but Looking at Justinian calmly, he believed that this young man must have reason to do so.

"Because in a sense, the Latins and even the Venetians are not our enemies. Simple revenge will not help to rebuild the empire." Just listen to Justinian said indifferently, but if someone else hears this sentence But it is no less than a big rebellion. We must know that because of the fall of Constantinople, the Roman Empire’s aversion to the Latins has become so much that in the future, the emperor in Constantinople will ask the West for help, but the imperial people in the city would rather accept it* Square scarf instead of the cross of the Holy See.

"Amazing remarks, but if you are known by others, you will suffer, Justinian, but I think you are not an impulsive person. I respect your choice." Although shocked by the words at this time However, Neusky still did not oppose Justinian’s decision this time. However, he must remind Justinian that if his attitude was known by others, it would be enough to give him the prestige that he had accumulated before in the army. Nothing exists.

And Justinian also has self-knowledge, watching the army enter the city of Argos, which the Latins handed over, in fact, his previously suspended heart has finally let go, and it is his best to win this city with such a result. Of choice. Although he did not wipe out all of this Latin army, he led the men and horses to avoid serious injuries, and the significance of taking down this city is also extraordinary, that is, the initiative of the entire battlefield has completely fallen into this moment. In his hands. The land of the key that connects Corinth and Peloponnese has fallen. I am afraid that neither the Latin nor the Prince Theodor in Agrinon will remain indifferent. What Justinian has to do next is just Just waiting.

At sunset, the sun also gradually sets ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time, in Argos, soldiers who have recovered their lost ground are everywhere chanting various hymns, and the imperial people in the city are also welcoming the king, and they are eating pots. Justinian and others who have experienced **** battles. The whole city was filled with joy, like a holiday, but Justinian completely ignored the celebration of this day’s victory. Instead, he listened to Leo’s defensive chief reporting the results and losses of this time, “We will not lose this time. The dead and wounded are insignificant. Although the siege equipment has been lost a lot, the seizures are enough to compensate. It’s just that although the Latins have retreated, I don’t think it will be more than tomorrow morning, and the entire Achaia nation should know what happened here. , After knowing that the entire important land of keys has fallen into our hands, I think they will definitely try to take it back, Lord Justinian! If I guess right next, I'm afraid it will be another tough battle! "The man couldn't help but worry. Although he won the first battle, Justinian undoubtedly pushed himself to the forefront by doing so. It is absolutely impossible for the Latin to sit back and watch this threat exist.

But Justinian nodded calmly, and said, "Don't worry, Leo, I know what you mean, but the Latins will know and that means Theodore will also know what's going on here. Like him. It’s impossible for people to remain indifferent."

At the same time, a few dark shadows on the mountain outside of Argos watched everything silently on the cliff below. They have been watching the battle from afar since the Roman army and the Achaian army fought. Thousands of dominant Achaean troops finally suffered a crushing defeat, which shocked them greatly. After staying on the mountain for a long time, these people finally retreated one after another. Be prepared to report what happened here to your master, so as to decide the next step of action.
