Eagle Flag of Epirus

The iron cable sank into the cold water-Justinian led the Vadarutas and finally broke through the Latin blockade on the water, while the defenders on the shore were struggling to deal with the sudden Nicaea Their offense completely ignored the Genoese fleet that had been stopped by them.

"Now is the time to break up. It seems that I can only send you here, my child." On the deck, the one-eyed Christopher said his final goodbye to Antonia beside him, and beside him, the sailors under his command. The rope was slowly lowered so that the people who followed Justinian and Antonia changed to a humble small sailing boat to prepare to leave Constantinople.

"But if that's the case, what do you do?" Seeing the old man in front of him seemed to be reluctant to leave with her, Antonia looked at and asked in a puzzled way.

But Christopher shook his head as usual, "Don't worry, there is no evidence, the fake guys in Constantinople can't do anything about me. Besides, if I leave with you, one goal is too great. Risks, the remaining mess of the two will always have to be dealt with by talent."

"But where is my brother..." There was a trace of worry on the girl's face. You must know that Christopher's approach was to fight against the Doria family. I'm afraid this mess will not be so easy to deal with.

Seeing Antonia’s worry, the old man smiled slightly and said: "Andrea, like you, grew up when I was a child. I brought you back to Genoa. I understand his character. Everything he did before is also his last resort, I believe he will not embarrass my old bone too much. Okay, time is tight, you still have things you want to accomplish, don't you!"

"Grandpa Christopher, I..." Seeing the old man turned around and turned away a little hunched figure, Antonia's mood also struggled at this moment.

But the words that were ready to come out were not uttered in the end. The determined Italian girl finally decided to keep the last secret in her heart, because once this secret was uttered, too many people would be involved, whether it was a family member or her own friend. From the moment she made up her mind, everything was actually doomed.

...

...

...

By the sea wall, the Latin defenders were scattered, and Justinian was also leading his men to retreat toward the original route. According to the previous agreement, Antonia and the others should have already left the Golden Horn by now.

So far, the previously planned plan has been almost half-successful. I hope everything goes well in the future! Justinian made the last prayer in his heart, but it fell through as soon as the prayer was over.

"Master Justinian, the road ahead..."

On the side of the sea wall, the wall hit by the trebuchet collapsed into a pile of rubble, and a huge stone lay in front of Justinian and his party completely blocking their way.

"Damn it, I'm afraid of what's coming." Justinian looked at the scene before his eyes, and his heart that had just been put down at this moment couldn't help but lift it up and couldn't help but slam a fist against the stone wall beside him. . At this time, the fall of the sea wall is enough for the Latins to react, and if they want to pass time through this pile of ruins, it is simply too late. Just at this moment, the noise of the army coming from the open flames in the northwest is getting closer and closer. It is obvious that the reinforcements of the Latins are coming, and their retreats on both sides have been completely cut off.

"What can we do? If this goes on, we will be surrounded, Lord Justinian!"

After a fierce battle, the Vadaritais are now exhausted, and it would be too difficult for them to return and make a **** path. But if they continue to sit here and wait for death, they will certainly die without a burial place.

"Calm down!" At this moment, Justinian's majestic voice suddenly sounded and suppressed the restlessness and panic of his army, and the calm and composure on the young leader's face also slightly made the unstable military spirits. Calm down.

"Are there any of you who are familiar with water? I need someone from the upper reaches of the sea to meet with Genoese." Glancing at the surrounding subordinates, Justinian asked. Now this situation must seek support, and he must be in This group of nomads choose a person who can swim, even though he himself thinks it is unlikely.

But then a middle-aged man who was about 30 or 40 years old stood up, pressing his sword and said: "I, Lord Justinian, I have served in Constantinople for almost ten years and I am more familiar than these young people. Water-based." The tribes of the Vadaritais have been in the border between Bulgaria and Thrace for a long time since they surrendered to the Byzantine Empire, and they still live by the water and grass~www.readwn.com~ but among them Any man over twenty-five years old must enter Constantinople to serve, and since this man has been in Constantinople for ten years, he must be better than others who have not entered Constantinople. Young people are much better water-based.

Justinian nodded, "Okay, then this matter is left to you, remember that now all of our lives are tied to you alone."

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" The middle-aged man took off the chain mail he was wearing and took off his upper body clothes to reveal a body covered with scars. It seems that he is indeed a warrior with many battles.

And the man also noticed Justinian’s gaze, and said lightly: “These are the gifts that Latin pigs gave me two years ago. I will not give up my life before giving them back. I will never be one. Deserter, I, including everyone else here, believe that only you can give us the bad breath."

"Well, since you follow me, what's your name?"

"Wild bear, Bear Karski. I am willing to use everything I have for you." The man replied in a hoarse voice, and jumped into the cold water as he spoke.

"Well, Karski, I believe you must be more difficult to deal with than wild bears. Come back alive and reward yourself." Watching the man and the edema wave as the final goodbye, and at this moment, heavy footsteps It's also getting closer and closer-it's the reinforcements of the Latins, and they finally arrived.

And Justinian, who slowly turned around, also drew out the broadsword that had already been slashed and slashed, and walked with his head in front of the Vardaritai warriors, saying, "Are you ready for your weapons, warriors?"

"The time has come to fight the enemy to the death, and bet your lives—"

"To survive!"
