Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The city of Thessaloniki has been breached..." Across the Carpathian Mountains between Epirus and the Macedonian Plains, Emperor Mikhail Dukas himself led his army forward to recover the lost ground. But I didn't expect to get such "good news" on the way. At this moment, this man's face is really wonderful.

"It seems that I really underestimate the kid under your hand, Your Majesty Muzfius." Mikhail chuckled as he looked at the purple-robed stunner who was walking with him behind him. The smile on Zhang's face makes people feel very uncomfortable, there is a false feeling, and even some dangerous atmosphere, it sounds creepy.

At this time, Muzfius was sitting on the carriage alone, silent, although it seemed that the supreme emperor was still extremely graceful, and followed by the court eunuchs and guards of honor. , It seems that Mikhail, as the co-ruling emperor, still respects Muzifius very much. But in fact everyone knows that this is just a superficial article. The true ruler of Epirus has always been only one, and that is Mikhail. As for the already useless Muzfius, it is just Just a flag. No one would regard him as the real master of the empire, but Mikhail knew clearly that Muzfius would never be willing to be controlled by himself as a puppet, so he has been confined in confinement for the whole year. In the monastery, it's a pity that Mikhail never thought that the unremarkable little boy would be arranged in a remote corner by him, but he would eventually become a huge threat.

　　 I should have cut the grass and rooted out the roots in the first place... It was too careless... At first, I never thought that Theodore would reach a tacit understanding with that kid.

　　 After what happened in Rusnina before, Mikhail was convinced that the two must have reached a cooperation. Looking at the good news coming from the front line, Mikhail, who was irritated on the surface, seemed calm, but was actually already thinking about how to deal with the alliance of the two.

　　 swept his gaze over Muzfius behind him, and Mikhail had a trace of fear in his eyes. This is indeed a very useful banner, but it is also the Achilles heel that shakes his orthodox position. If necessary, in order to prevent this "flag" from getting out of his control, Mikhail didn't mind destroying it personally. Of course, this was a last resort after all.

What he cares about now is the captured city of Thessaloniki. As the second largest city after Constantinople, it fell into the hands of his brother Theodor that Mikhail did not. Willing to see. He has always tried to weaken and remove this confidant, but now if the entire Macedonia falls into the opponent's hands, it is bound to endanger Mikhail's status.

Seeing the worries of the co-ruling emperor, the chief deacon Nikifrus, who was Mikhail’s confidant, said quietly and quietly: "Your Majesty should still be worried about Thessaloniki! "

"Indeed, after all, this time, let those young people succeed again, I'm afraid they don't know how proud they are now!" Mikhail sneered, and at this moment, the eyes of the evil prey were also full. With a cold chill, "How is the news from your people from there?"

Many of the forward forces that attacked Thessaloniki were the armies of other Epirus nobles. Although they were auxiliary soldiers, in order to prevent accidents, Mikhail himself had already placed many people as eyes and ears to monitor at any time. The situation there. And now, in order to prevent Theodor and Justinian from completely controlling the entire Macedonia, their marching speed must be accelerated.

"Please rest assured that everything is currently under our control. It is not so easy for them to swallow the whole to Macedonia. The nobles in those places wait and see, but Boniface is dead and all the Latins Withdrawing from Thessaloniki, as long as we make enough conditions, it will be enough to win over most of the nobles to serve your majesty." Nikiforus replied respectfully, as if everything was ready.

　　 But Mikhail himself is someone who is so easy to feel relieved, half-believing, at this moment, he can only choose to believe what Nick Fruss said.

"I hope so, tell them that as long as they are willing to call me courtiers, then everything they did when the Latins came before can be wiped out." Although he had sworn an oath to his people in Rusnina before the expedition. Traitors will definitely be punished, but now this man no longer cares about trivial things in order to completely stabilize his rule. He only needs a promise to allow countless nobles to turn and surrender. Why not do it! More importantly, the little fox of Moriah had already been notorious for chopping the heads of hundreds of rebel nobles and nobles in Tripolis. Those Macedonian nobles were afraid to avoid it. Mikhail was convinced of this. At that time, the olive branch I stretched out will not be rejected by anyone~www.readwn.com~Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty. Just leave these things to me to deal with. "

Nodded with satisfaction, Mikhail suddenly stopped Nikifrus and asked: "Yes, there is one more thing, did the guy next to Theodor make a decision? I There is a limit to his patience. For my brother who doesn’t know his esteem, I no longer have to tolerate him. Especially now that he is cooperating with Justinian. The foolish choice made."

　　 "You mean to prepare..." Nickiphorus, who was taken aback for a moment, quickly heard the overtones in the words of His Majesty before him, but he was a little surprised in his heart. In this way, the plan would have been advanced.

Mikhail nodded impatiently, "The plan ahead of time, the province’s Ye Changmengdo, you and I know that Theodor and Justinian have already begun planning to deal with me. It is better to wait for them to do it first. Strike the best..."

"Yes, I will contact him again... Although he is still a little hesitant, please wait patiently for a while! That person will never let us down. He will definitely solve your current confidant completely for you. Great trouble, at that time, you will be the unquestionably supreme ruler of the empire."
