Eagle Flag of Epirus

He didn't know that the ship was full of dangerous gunpowder. Alfonso, who was full of joy, only wanted to make a fortune in the future, and without any vigilance, let his men secretly open the iron rope that blocked the bay and let it go.

Others were also unaware of the coming danger. After all, they opened the wooden barrel and checked it, and the top of it was indeed the precious oriental spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, etc. However, the pungent smell of gunpowder was just right to be obscured and not by anyone doubt.

I saw that the boat from Genoa drove slowly into Thessaloniki Bay and finally docked at the pier.

In order to prevent being suspected, Alfonso also happened to let the Genoese anchor the boat to the side of the dozen or so warships of the Thessaloniki Navy, which happened to be in the arms of Genoese men. Looking at this stupid scene, as if digging his own grave, the businessman couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face. However, in the eyes of the surrounding Latin soldiers, he thought it was the joy of cooperation and did not know that he had fallen into a trap. in.

"Then this will be handed over to you." Seeing that the ship was ready, the Genoese merchant counted that the time was almost up, and then he took off his hat and saluted. Alfonso arranged for another ship to take the smugglers in Genoa to leave. They had already set a date for the handover, and the generous advance payment made by the generous merchant was enough to make him fascinated. For this reason, even if he was severely punished by the Marquis of Dennister, Alfonso decided to take the risk. As for the others-these Italian mercenaries were originally for wealth. Of course, they were willing to take the risk for the money, compared to the rich. Life loyalty does not make them care, so everyone is happy to see it happen.

Soon, the night darkened, and while holding a torch watching the departure of the Genoese businessman, Alfonso couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. With such a big deal, when the war here is over, he can finally get out of the **** life. , No need to worry about making ends meet. While thinking about it, while slowly preparing to return to his post from the pier, Alfonso suddenly stopped his steps.

...

On the other side, sailing slowly away from the bay of Thessaloniki in a small boat, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, the businessman who completed the task can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Recalling that the Latin was on the ship and searched, he still sweats for himself. Had it not been prepared, the other party would have doubted even if they could not recognize the powdery substance called "gunpowder". It's just that the spice that I bought at a big price is going to be burned like this, which really hurts.

He had never thought that his cold chess player, who has been hidden in the snow, would be awakened by Miss Antonia during this time of flames, and was given a heavy responsibility. Even though he was unwilling to do so in his heart, he did not dare to disobey. , But at last he still carried things in without going over the sea, and the next thing was out of his turn.

It's just that he still needs to confirm a few things before leaving--

"You have already lit the fuze before!" The man asked, looking at the subordinates beside him, still a little worried.

Next to him, several subordinates quickly replied: "Please don't worry, we are sure that it has been lit, and I think the time should be almost the same."

"That's good." The relieved businessman nodded, so that even if he failed, he could give Antonia Doria an explanation.

Looking at the expression of the businessman, the other Genoese were still confused, and asked: "It's just the boss, what exactly did Miss Antonia let us transport? It made us so careful and just put it there. It’s too strange."

"Specifically, I don't know, but it seems that it should be a burning weapon like the'Greek Fire'. That's why Miss Antonia told us to be careful." The man replied, but he was actually curious about it in his heart. What is the power of the black powder of the wooden barrel that makes my lady so afraid to give me a thousand warnings in advance. But what makes him even more puzzled is that if the thing burns like the Greek fire, at most it can only burn down one or two surrounding warships. Miss Antonia can't help but think of the so-called "gunpowder" power. It's too exaggerated!

...

The Genoese businessman who completed the purpose of this trip was disapproving and prepared to leave the city of Thessaloniki for business. In his opinion, news of one or two warships being burned and the Thessaloniki’s garrison against the sea came from the city on the next day. Tighter blockade. However, at the same time, Alfonso, who was still ecstatic because of the deal, couldn’t help boarding a cargo ship docked at sea because of his excitement. He wanted to take a look at the oriental spices that are as expensive as gold, even if they smell it. Their fragrance also seems to be in a treasure house full of gold and silver treasures.

However, as soon as he stepped into the dark cabin, he saw a little reddish spark flickering in front of him, and he could hear a faint hissing sound in his ears, and only saw the sparks a little bit towards the pretender The barrel of spice is only a few inches away. Alfonso, who has never seen the fuze, of course can’t figure out what it is. However, an ominous premonition in his subconscious makes him subconsciously want to stop it. When I felt the black and wanted to walk forward quickly, everything was too late~www.readwn.com~ I saw that red spark jumped into the barrel, and the next moment, in Alfonso's life At the last moment-he saw that he had never seen an incandescent, and then the blazing waves swallowed him up in an instant.

boom--! !

The huge explosion on the sea in the Gulf of Thessaloniki resounded through the otherwise peaceful night sky, and the cargo ship left behind in Genoa was stunned by all the Latin defenders, and the frightened soldiers around were like fragments from the explosion. Fly out all around. But the fire wave caused by the huge explosion swallowed everything around in an instant, as if even the sea water was about to evaporate. Even on the shore, the Thessaloniki warship that was hit first at sea was also crumbling, only to hear the broken hull groaning weakly. Even the strongest keel is like a dying life, easily and directly shattered.

"God!" The helpless soldiers were hit directly by the air wave. The survivors looked at the burning sea with trepidation on the shore, thinking that the end of the world had come, and murmured to pray that God would forgive them and give them blessings. .

But all this did not end at all, "Boom——!!!" There was another loud noise, and a hot wave broke out from the coast of Thessaloniki. With the earth-shaking noise, thick smoke billowed like the sky and the earth. The dust storm is normal, flying into the air, accompanied by the scarlet flames blooming fascinatingly, but the explosion still does not stop, making the night fire flower one after another to compete with each other.

As the explosion sounded endlessly, the warships anchored on the sea were also torch, and the broken pieces fell like a meteor shower, ruthlessly hitting the soldiers fleeing on the shore.

At this moment, the city also seemed to be crumbling. The firelight seemed to break through the sky.
