Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 42: Coup (Part 1)

"This child is the illegitimate child of my deceased brother. It can be said that he is my only immediate family member in this world. Speaking of which I only found him two years ago and have been raising him. But I think that guy Gottfrey should be Knowing this, I kept pressing on, I wish I could replace me as soon as possible!" The sick-faced man sat in a chair with a wry smile. Looking at the Viscount Senna and Sir Baptiste in front of the twelve or three-year-old boys team at hand, this man can only entrust his nephew to them at this moment.

In fact, William Chapulitt had no choice at this time. The whole city was sealed off. It would be a burden to take him to leave. The coup was clearly planned for a long time, and the army of the nobles who supported the Marquis of William was all taken by Gott. Freey transferred away with various excuses. It can be said that no one can check and balance the man in Corinth. Therefore, William Chapulit would rather give up the chance of escape to the child in front of him.

   But the boy beside him was obviously unwilling to leave his side, and the young face showed a weeping expression:

   "Uncle William, I don't want to go alone! I want to stay by your side!"

Although a boy who has lost his parents since he was young, although he still doesn’t understand the world of adults, he knows clearly that if he really leaves, then the man who treats himself like his biological father in the past two days may never be seen again in the future. Arrived.

But the Marquis William's face showed an angry look and said: "Charlie, how many times have I taught you? You are already a big child, and you will grow up in a few years. Don't always cry! Listen to my words and leave here safely with the two of them. This is my only concern." At this point, a gentle look appeared on the man's tough face. In fact, he has always regarded Charlie as his own son. . He also knew that Gottfrey would never let this child go.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Marquis, we will definitely **** this child safely. It's just that our magistrate is now purging the nobles who opposed him from top to bottom, I'm afraid that the entire country has now completely fallen into his hands. Even if we leave Corinth, what we can do is limited. Please don't give up so easily for the time being." Although he agreed to the request of the Marquis before him, Viscount Senna showed a solemn look on his face. Although he knew the difficult situation facing him, he actually wanted to rescue the Marquis William from the city together. If the monarch of the Achaia vassal state were there, a crowd would respond with just a raise of arms to escape smoothly. With only one child, even if he is indeed the heir appointed by the Marquis William Chapulitt not long ago, it is undoubtedly very limited.

Sir Baptiste on the side also had the same view. It was precisely because they were aware of the coup initiated by Earl Gottfrey for the first time, the two moved away the Marquis William in time and hid their traces. Therefore, the rebels who jumped into the wall did not hesitate to The cleaning method carried out a large-scale search of the whole city. But this does not mean that they have no chance to escape at all.

However, Marquis William shook his head and said: "Impossible, that would be too dangerous. In the end, the only possibility is that we will all be wiped out. I know my old friend too well. I don't need to say more. What, I just hope that you can protect Charlie, the child, not to let the name of Chapulit be so severed in my hands."

   Seeing that William had made up his mind and couldn't be shaken, the two Viscount Senna and Baptiste had no choice but to nod their heads and agreed to the last request of the monarch in front of them.

"After we leave safely, we will definitely ask Thessaloniki and Constantinople for help against the thieves to avenge you." Viscount Senna and Baptiste, who knelt on one knee, vowed to the Marquis William in front of them. Charlie, the boy on the side, also wiped his wet eye sockets, and vowed in his heart to make those betrayers pay ten times a hundred times the price.

   But at this moment, the calm-looking Marquis William Chapulett said next that both Senna and Baptiste were unexpected.

   "No, after you leave, don't go to Thessaloniki or Constantinople, go south and go to the Greeks."

   "What?!" I couldn't believe that the two people I heard showed incredible expressions at the same time. No one would have thought that the Marquis William had issued such an incredible order. At this time of trouble, not only did the Kingdom of Thessaloniki and the Latin Empire, which are relatively safe to the north, rush to the Greeks who were feuds, it was really ridiculous.

However, the Marquis William did not utter this sentence out of panic. He saw the man calmly saying: "This time, Gottfrey deliberately transferred the army to the outside~www.readwn.com~ but now he With so many troops to blockade and clean the whole city, where do you think his troops come from?"

   As soon as these words came out, Senna and Baptiste, who were looking at each other, were shocked at the same time, their backs were chilled, and they all said in the same way: "You mean, there is someone else behind Gottfrey?"

"The only possibility is this, but I'm not sure whether it is Thessaloniki or Constantinople or something else... But one thing is certain, my old friend must have already done this before. With preparations for the aftermath. If you go north, you can only throw yourself into the net.” Said confidently, Marquis William seemed to be very sure about this.

   "But where the Greeks...it's okay." Despite this, Viscount Senna still hesitated. He had fought Justinian before and escaped with his life. Even if Marquis William's analysis is not unreasonable, but going to the Greeks always makes him feel funny.

"Although I haven't seen the young man named Justinian, but from the words you brought me for him, I guess he should not have that pure hatred towards us, and such pragmatic people are often the smartest. . If he is really like the rumors, then it is absolutely impossible to ignore the existence of Charlie as my heir. "Cough cough" slowly said, at this moment, because of the ill, the look in the eyes of Marquis William was fierce. When the place changed, something seemed to be noticed.

   "They are here"

   The man’s voice just fell, and the next second, at this moment, the soldiers shouted fiercely from downstairs where they were:

   "If you block this place, no one is allowed to miss it. Anyone who encounters resistance will be killed. Everyone will rush in with me!"
