Eagle Flag of Epirus

"It's been a long time since I saw you... It really surprised me, Justinian." In front of the Bolgar's camp, after meeting with Prince Theodor, Czaroyan, who had a slightly subtle expression, recognized it at a glance. The young people around Prince Theodor blurted out subconsciously with surprises and suspicions.

He really didn't expect that the young man who was captured by his subordinates was really Justinian of the little fox called Moria by the Latins. But it’s not too shocked. After all, his nephew Ivan Assen told him what had happened after returning from Rusnina. Therefore, Czaroyan always had a great deal with the young man who had successfully deceived him. Deep impression-he forcibly let a Roman emperor who could have been a stranger slip away from under his nose, but he was irritated and somewhat admired Justinian.

It’s just that in less than a year, the country established by the two Latins in the south was able to be wiped out and became a pivotal force in the Roman Empire. Tsar Kaloyan had to admit that he still underestimated Justinian, maybe that The emperor Muzifius had some help behind the scenes, but it was undeniable that this kid did have his own uniqueness.

At this moment, Justinian looked calm. From a distance, he felt the unkind gaze among the Bolgar nobles, and among them was his "old friend" young Grand Duke Ivan Assen. Sure enough, this time Bulgaria came out in full force, and it seemed that the kingdom of Thessaloniki would not stop without destroying it.

It’s just that he doesn’t care. He is no longer what he used to be. He is no longer the fledgling hairy boy. He nodded slowly, and saw Justinian look towards Carlo in front of him. Yang saluted: "Hello, Your Majesty, it's really been a long time since I saw you that day."

"Yeah, you can be said to be different from you nowadays... It's a pity, if I knew it would be like this, I would definitely keep you at all costs." I just listened to Carloyan laughing. Said with regret.

However, his words sounded completely nonsense in Justinian’s ears. Given Justinian’s knowledge of the "Roman’s butcher", if Caroyan knew it would be like this, I am afraid it would not be the first The threat of myself was extinguished in the bud of growth.

But of course it will not be exposed. After a few words of greeting, the Roman army and the Bolgar army formed a coalition and started camping on the walls of Thessaloniki. After all, at present, the first thing that the Latins have been surrounded by them is to stand firm and not give each other a chance.

...

"Please forgive my frankness, Your Majesty, we only arrived on the trek for a few days. What is the current situation of the war? I hope you can inform so that we can prepare in advance and join forces with the Bulgarian army to destroy the Latin entrenched here People." As soon as he entered the tent, Prince Theodor asked straightforwardly. Although the Latin was caught off guard this time, no one would deny the name Bonifa in Thessaloniki. The Si man is a very difficult existence. As the commander of the Fourth Crusade, it is very dangerous to play easily without absolute certainty, especially now that Prince Theodor only has his own Army of Agrinion and Cha The Moriah's new army in Stinny could be worthy of World War I.

Prince Theodor’s question was immediately answered-although they did not like the Romans, the Bulgars, who had no cumbersome habits, always did not like procrastination.

On the left hand side, a Bulgarian nobleman immediately stood up and replied: "We have captured all the small fortresses outside Thessaloniki. The garrisons in them have been annihilated or fled, and the entire city is nearby. There is no Latin army. The number of enemies in the city is estimated to be about 40,000, and half of them are auxiliary soldiers and militias, and the rest are the Latins themselves and a large number of mercenaries. Now except from All the connections between the sea and the outside of Thessaloniki have also been interrupted by us. Now the only thing the Latins here can rely on is the huge city wall."

After listening to the narration of the Bolgar, Justinian and Theodore glanced at each other subconsciously, and their faces were a little complicated.

One was shocked by the powerful mobility of these Bolgar troops. They actually cleared out the Latin defenses outside the city of Thessaloniki in just two days. It can be seen that Bulgaria can really do it today. In its heyday, it is no wonder that its military strength can wipe out the captured Baldwin I of the Latin Empire in one fell swoop outside of Fort Adria. Although the two sides are still allies now, there is such a powerful country of tiger and wolf spying on the northern frontiers of the empire, and it really has to be carried away.

And the other ~www.readwn.com~ is anxious about the Latin army shrinking into the city. This is not good news. Although Thessaloniki is devastated by the war, it can be the second largest city in the Balkans. Ten thousand people stayed for a long time. And in such a situation, if a direct attack is bound to cause huge losses, this is unacceptable to anyone, especially Justinian and the others, the temporarily conscripted frontier soldiers cannot climb the wall and fight against the fierce enemy. . And letting their direct army into such an offensive will inevitably fall into the Bulgar people's pockets, once the loss is too large, it means that they lose the bargaining chip after the war. And that must be the thing that Emperor Mikhail, who is sitting behind, would like to see most. Even if Justinian didn't care, Prince Theodor had to hesitate.

Just as the two were silent, at this moment, the voice of Tsar Kaloyan suddenly sounded in the tooth tent.

"Since our allies have arrived, I think we can attack the city of Thessaloniki tomorrow. I think the two should have no objection to this!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he asked for a joint attack for convenience. Prince Theodor was about to turn his back on the grounds that the army was tired, but Justinian stood up at this moment.

"There is no problem with this. Tomorrow morning, the imperial army will cooperate with your country to launch an offensive against Thessaloniki." The young man's voice was decisive and without the slightest hesitation, and he directly agreed to the Bolgar's request without any muddling— —So much so that Prince Theodore was also shocked, and when he was about to speak, the deep blue eyes beside him looked at himself with a deep meaning as if to indicate something to the man. And theodore, who saw it, subconsciously swallowed back what he had originally wanted to say for some reason.
