Eagle Flag of Epirus

"In case they discover our traces..." Arslan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although Justinian has now taken control of the entire Moria and Athens, it has gone through a devastated battle. After that, it was already exhausted. Although Justinian’s army was still useful, it was still unable to compete with the great powers. At this time, the hostility that attracted Genoa was very bad. Fastest update

However, Justinian, who was riding a horse, turned his face carelessly, and said angrily: "What are you afraid of? It's a big deal and you don't admit it. As long as you hide that girl, they can't help us."

"Huh? You're not kidding!" Looking at Justinian's indifferent expression, he didn't know if he was really confident or numb, and Arslan's face was full of surprise.

But the next second, Justinian’s leisurely voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"There is no direct evidence that they dare not act rashly. After all, I am at least the governor of the empire, and they only know that the identity of the frontier of Edessa is fake. Other than that, my true identity is more. Conjecture, but we can't do anything."

"Are you really sure?"

"Unless they don't need to be in the ports of Moria." Justinian replied, turning his head slightly to the side. "The Doria family is powerful, but it doesn't mean that they can exercise the will of the entire Genoa. In fact, there is cooperation and struggle. I don’t have full control of it. I will only take it for myself, and whether it is Mikhail or Theodore, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will not allow the Genoese in their turf. Do whatever they want."

"That's fine, that's why you let us not even play your banner before. It turned out to be to prevent the other party from grabbing the handle." Alslan nodded, admiring the accuracy of Justinian even more. Feed the enemy first.

But the young man on the side smiled shyly at this moment and shrugged: "No, this is just a coincidence. I didn't expect it to come in handy." Now that Justinian still has a lingering fear when he thinks of it. If it hadn't happened to have left behind before, the consequences would really be unimaginable.

Then the conversation turned, Justinian's gaze swept across Antonia Doria behind him, and whispered: "But the only thing that makes me care about the Doria lady's true intentions... I haven't understood her much until now." He shook his head slightly and had to admit that the Italian girl always seemed to have countless secrets, and such a person was always the most difficult to deal with.

"She wouldn't really like you, Lord Justinian!" The Turkic man with a smirk on his face teased, and although it was a joke, Arslan actually had this in his heart. Thought, otherwise, why would an aristocratic lady help Justinian like this! This is indeed incredible, and I have to think about it in a crooked way. After all, in the cities and towns in Rome, you can always hear the love affairs of such aristocrats.

"Spare me!" Looking at the gossip on this Turkic face, Justinian almost fell off the horse with a water bag in his hand. I didn't expect the other party to do such a thing. Sure enough, the environment can transform a person.

"No kidding." Moria's little fox shook his head and looked at Arslan next to him seriously:

"I think she should have her own plan too, and we have become a part of her plan without knowing it! It's really a headache to get along with such people! Alright, alright, no matter what. It’s time to worry. Now we’re going to start talking about business.” Justinian spread his hands helplessly, but the face returned to the rare solemn and solemn expression in the past, suddenly making Arslan I also feel that the atmosphere around me seems to change.

Seeing this, the Turkic man also showed a serious look and nodded slightly, "Yes, I will follow your orders, Lord Justinian."

On a certain day in February 1206, in the Kingdom of Thessaloniki, which was established in North Macedonia, occupied by the Latins, on the plain near the capital, the shepherd's teenagers drove the flocks with the shepherd dogs, looking for pastures, because Because of the fighting, there is scorched earth everywhere, but even when facing the ravages of the invaders, in order to adequately subsidize the poor families, the teenagers still have to work for the wealthy people in the village to earn some money to make a living.

Although it is actually a time of war, the remnants of the surrounding empire and the Bolgar barbarians in the north are still at war with the Latins, but most of the people of the original empire are actually numb. I don't care about these at all. Anyway, there is no Greek army near Thessaloniki. Even those who are thinking of the restoration of the empire in their hearts don't expect anything anymore.

Because today’s Rome has weakened to the point where it’s too weak, many even simply acquiesced to the orthodox identity of those Latin tyrants in Constantinople. As for Thessaloniki, this city with a very special geographical location is the second largest in the empire. City ~www.readwn.com~The only disadvantage of city defense is second only to Constantinople is its geographical location. It is not so easy to conquer the city wall.

The sun hasn't risen, the east is faintly pale, and there is actually some fog on the plain.

The world is so quiet, I can only hear the calls of birds from a distance and the sound of the dog next to him sniffing. I saw this conscientious shepherd dog scurrying around the flock from time to time. But at this moment, the rapid sound of horseshoes from a distance broke the silence, making everyone frightened.

what on earth is it? !

The teenager thought robbers were infested. After all, it was very common to be in turmoil at such times. Holding the pole in his hand tightly, it seemed as if the little boy who had been lifted in his heart held his breath, his heart was full of fear...

The fog rolled up, and a huge air wave suddenly split it from the middle, and the turquoise weeds also undulated with the wind and waves. A horse and a rider galloped past the shepherd boy, and he Behind...

Countless cavalry lined up, looking like a wall of black iron from a distance. This was not a bandit at all but an elite army. I saw the brave riders holding their lances and carrying bows and arrows to the shepherd boy and his flock. I didn't even look at it, but went straight to a direction that was the direction of Thessaloniki.

The wooden stick in the hands of the shepherd boy fell to the ground. He was too scared to speak, and his heart was in a panic. He didn't know how to explain to the people in the village, but he still turned around and ran to report to his compatriots, saying that he was protecting him. The Gals are coming from the north! And a war is also...coming!
