Eagle Flag of Epirus

At this time, there was no sign of optimism in the battle at Turnovo. It never occurred to him that Bourtonistein, the Count of Burgas, would turn to the front and become the **** of the northern nobles, Grand Duke Bouriel and his support. The southern aristocracy was almost wiped out in a single battle, but although they were lucky enough to escape, they still completely lost more than a dozen fortresses on the front line. The originally composed defense line completely collapsed and fell into despair. In order to prevent being surrounded, they were helpless. , Earl Connaughtin had to order the entire army to retreat, surrendering the advantageous terrain originally occupied.

Suddenly, they fell into the enemy's hands at the impregnable position at the two mountain passes. The southern aristocracy fell into a complete disadvantage, because there was a gap between the strengths of the two sides, and now the northern army, which is dominated by cavalry, has directly threatened them and mastered them. The initiative of this war can't help but make the Palatonnaon nobles panic.

And this news at this moment is undoubtedly the worst for Earl Connaught, who is the actual commander of the entire army.

Although it seems that there is nothing on the surface, Connaughtin has already seen that many people inside have wavered at this moment. Although the dispute between the North and South aristocracy has been around for a long time and has become the same, no one wants to send it out in the civil war by comparison. Life pushed the family's foundation to an end. Since even Bourtonisstein, the Earl of Burgas, can take refuge in Ivan Assen, then why can't they! Anyway, no matter what the outcome of this civil war is, it is actually nothing more than a struggle for the throne within the Assen family. Earl Connaughtine clearly realized at this moment that if he did not take measures to reverse the previous situation, he was afraid that the Pallatonaon aristocrat who had vowed to be loyal before could become the most loyal follower of Ivan Assen at any time. Even the brave and unscrupulous Grand Duke Baoli clearly understands this point. The so-called support is just a group of gamblers betting. Once the situation is wrong, then those guys will not hesitate to abandon him. .

Therefore, at present, the key is to reverse the current military decline and regain the initiative on the battlefield.

But this is not easy...

"Uncle...what should we do now?" As his only family, Earl Connaughton, the only thing he can rely on, the lonely Bolier Assen, is him, and at this moment, looking at the situation facing the battle, he is helpless. He can only pin his hopes on the man in front of him.

However, Earl Connaughtin looked rather solemn, and he had never expected that Earl Bultoni would rebel. He now had to admit that he had fallen into a great passivity.

"Unexpectedly, I have been underestimating the child of Ivan for so many years. He has already secretly prepared. Now he is no longer a puppet launched by the northern nobles, but the real controller. If you ignore him Actually, he has penetrated to this point, and even Bertonistein has been wooed by him. However, he must have paid a lot of money if he wants to come, or he can't tell the old viper's heart."Kang. Earl Notting sneered slightly, looking at the map in front of him, suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and slammed it on it.

"His Royal Highness, for the sake of this plan, we can only temporarily retreat and give up Turnovo."

"Give up Turnovo? Are you true? Are you kidding me!" Hearing that his uncle had made such a decision, Bolier Assen couldn't help but pale in shock. You must know that for Bulgaria, Turnovo is equal to the heartland, which is why they have been fighting fiercely here, but now Earl Connaughtin is not only preparing to give up even the most important Turnovo line of defense. Cheng was actually preparing to hand over others, which made him really unacceptable.

But I saw that Earl Connaughtin replied very calmly: "His Royal Highness, this is a last resort choice. You have to know that compared to the entire kingdom, even Turnovo and even Sofia are not important."

"But if you don’t even have Turnovo, what should I fight with Ivan?! I'm afraid that if you really want to do this, the outcome of this war will be decided instantly, and the throne of Bulgaria will be true. It belongs to him." He said very unwillingly. Boriel Assen has been fighting with his cousin since he was a child, and he really didn't want to give up like this. What's more, after the Macedonian incident was over, there were signs that the death of his uncle, Tsar Ilovan, definitely had some connection with Ivan Assen. This made this man even less able to accept that the throne of the Tsar was tainted by such a person.

But just when Boriel was a bit sordid with emotions, suddenly his shoulders were suddenly pinched, and the calm-faced Earl Connaughtin solemnly said:

"Borill, my child, you have to be clear about one thing. If you want to get something, you have to give up something first. It's like a farmer in spring. If he wants to have a harvest in autumn, then You must hold back your stomach and go hungry and plant the seeds in the fields. Now, the same is true, as I said before, Turnovo is not important, Sofia is not important, in a sense even the throne. It doesn’t matter. The only thing you care about is to win this war. As long as you win, everything will belong to you~www.readwn.com~ Understand, Your Highness!"

The man's deafening voice echoed in Boriel Assen's ears, and the originally agitated young man finally broke free from his uncomfortable mood.

"In other words, uncle, do you still have a way to reverse the current decline?" As if caught a straw, the powerful fat man with Kong Wu asked excitedly like a child.

But I saw Earl Connaughtin neither affirmed nor denied, and slowly said: "How well are you like this, Your Majesty, now there are many pairs of eyes staring at you. At this time, any trace of weakness is No, I can’t promise anything now, but as long as you listen to me, I think things should turn around."

"Transferring?" Baolier was taken aback for a while, looking at the man in front of him, it seemed that the other party really had some preparations.

At this time, a young voice suddenly rang out of the camp, "Yes, turn around." And this voice was so familiar, and suddenly shocked, Boriel Assen could hardly believe his ears.

When he followed the reputation, he didn't know when Justinian, who should have been thousands of miles away in Frachaburg, actually appeared in front of him at this moment.

Obviously, the so-called turning point that Earl Connaughtin said before was Justinian, and of course the Vadaritai cavalry he brought with him. Only they are the key to turning the tide, and this is exactly what The reason why he chose to give up Turnovo.

Looking at Justinian, Connaughton slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will rely on you for the rest of this..."
