Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 The sound of war drums made the Latins in Karamai city nervous. Yesterday, although they successfully repelled the Byzantine attack, after learning that the reinforcements were annihilated, there was a desperate atmosphere in the city.

Everyone knows that the offensive Byzantine army is definitely not the same as before. The militiamen on the front of the city tremblingly hold the single bow and stand in line, while the soldiers clenched their weapons and looked down at the city. , The solemn reloading policy is aligned, all spears and Greek delta shields all demonstrate the terrible strength of this army, this is a regular army, obviously they can't handle it.

"Your Excellency Baptiste, look!" Following the gazes of his men, Sir Baptiste watched a young man in the Byzantine army slowly come out riding a tall horse, and the heavy cavalry beside him Surrounded by the guards, obviously he should be the commander of this army, but he is really too young, and even looks out of tune with the Persian-style scale armor.

"That's him..." Baptiste muttered. If it were a young nobleman who usually thought he was a mixed military service, he would never think so now. Such a risky and clever military operation is definitely not. The mediocre can do it. He didn't have the slightest intention of despising in his heart at the moment-

　　 It was just Sir Baptiste's reaction when he looked at the other person, slightly confused. What is his intention at this time?

And Justinian did not intend to attack, but ordered the people below to take the captive Valarian knight to the front, and many of the Karamai garrison who saw this scene immediately recognized that it was Mysore. The people of Horry, this time everyone was finally convinced that the reinforcements had really been wiped out by the Byzantines. The originally proud knight's face was pale and gray, and Valarian, who had become a prisoner, appeared in front of the Latins like trophies.

What frightened them even more was the behemoth slowly walking behind the army. The Byzantine soldiers on both sides stepped aside, and a huge armored elephant appeared in front of everyone, which completely defeated the Achaean army. The last trace of courage. This is the first time that many people have seen this giant beast. Just the hill-like bulk and the black armor covering it is enough to make everyone who sees it realize the horror of this monster.

　　 There is such a thing, wouldn't it be possible to break through the city gate by relying on that thing? ! Baptiste thought in his heart that he now believes even more that the defense of the fortress simply cannot resist such an elite iron army.

　　 But what makes Baptiste more concerned about is why the other party did not attack the city, but deliberately showed this in front of him? Staring at the silent young Greek commander below, Baptiste was also thinking about what to do next.

But at this moment, Justinian, who was standing below, looked at the timid Achaean army and understood that the time has come, and finally said: "Latins in the city listen, now standing in front of you is the emperor. The new governor of Moria, appointed by His Majesty Mikhail, Justinian, the stupid Latin invader, has only two options before you. The empire’s actions paid a price, one is to immediately end the dirty act of occupying the magpie’s nest and surrender, and as a benevolent empire’s teacher, we can give you a way out.

　　 And as soon as these words came out, Baptiste finally confirmed the other party's intentions, and put on such a position that the other party actually wanted them to surrender, and the conditions proposed did not seem to be as harsh as imagined.

We must know that poor knights like them came to the east to show their piety and show their piety only incidentally. The real reason is to get ahead, but the prerequisite is to save their lives. At this time, the Byzantines only offered to guarantee their safety as long as they surrender. This is already a very generous promise. , At least they can leave this dead place without paying a high ransom.

　　 But this man's face just showed hesitation, the leader of the militia group and the priest beside him fiercely opposed, they didn't believe the Byzantines at all.

"Don't be fooled by them, sir, have you forgotten the fate of the residents of Mysokhori?" The Latin immigrants in the surrounding villages and castles were performing harsh retaliatory behaviors. This is the leader of the militia. Unlike the priests, even the professional soldiers have at least a ransom to avoid being executed or becoming slaves. Unlike them, the former immigrated here and the militias have been unable to retreat, and the latter Catholics and Orthodox churches have reached the same level. .

　　 However, their attitude can't influence Sir Baptiste at all, and he is more relieved that whether the other party's words are true or not is still a trap.

He looked at the Byzantine army below, lowered his posture and said: "Excuse me, Lord Justinian, what you said is true? If we can really solve the current situation peacefully~www.ltnovel.com~ you can really. Is our safety guaranteed?"

　　 "Swear in the name of God, as long as you lay down your weapons, then there will be no more blood!" Justinian replied calmly without any falsehood, but he knew that this would definitely not convince the Latins.

"If you still don't believe it, you can send someone to discuss with me alone, but my patience is also limited. You must give me an answer before sunset!" After that, Justinian turned his horse's head and retreated slowly. After leaving the army, the Achaean army left in the city remained uneasy.

　　 But the Byzantine army below did not have an offensive meaning, which made these Latins a little relieved. The people who looked at each other looked at each other speechlessly, and only felt that they had almost escaped life and death. Unknowingly, they had a cold sweat on their backs. They looked at Sir Baptiste and they had probably guessed his thoughts, even the leader of the militia and the priest. No matter how opposed, life is now the most important thing.

On the other side, watching the previous scene, Zeodore Cephalon was even more furious, but he was daring not to say anything. Justinian seemed to be the master of this army. He was just a fledgling hair before. The head boy, Zeodore Cephalon felt that he could still fight, but now the opponent can suppress himself by relying on a banner. More importantly, he was unwilling to hand over the power of the army before but the Saracen in front of him asked him to give in temporarily. This made Zeodore Cephalon completely passive.

"What should we do now, Your Excellency Moswar? Sit and wait!" Zeodore Cephalon asked, looking at the man in front of him, his face full of anger, but Moswar in front of him was still calm, as if Had a plan.
