Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 Although the Genoese raised their flags, the Venetians didn’t seem to be paying attention at all, and the two warships were pressing forward. Since the decline of the Byzantine Empire, the Venetian, who monopolized Eastern trade, has become a veritable overlord of the Mediterranean. Especially now that Constantinople has been captured, and the Venetians have obtained the original Byzantine port. It can be said that the entire Aegean Sea has become a Venetian sea.

　　 Therefore, the Venetian did not care about his former rival Genoa.

Seeing the Venetian warship getting closer and closer, everyone on the ship became nervous. Although the Genoese smuggled black cargo ships were not managed by the Genoese, from now on, the Venetians seemed to be the masters of the Mediterranean. Openly intercepted the merchant ship in Genoa.

　　 It's not just the crew. Justinian, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but breathe in the air. He considered a lot of problems and didn't expect that the Venetian hegemony has reached this point. There will be warships here at this time, which is by no means a good thing. Justinian couldn't help getting nervous, and if Muzfius was found, he would definitely be recognized if nothing unexpected happened.

　　 "Boss, what shall we do?"

　　 And Phillips looked at Andrea, and now he can only hope that these two nobles can make the Venetian be afraid of three points.

　　 "Let them come forward, with me here, naturally no one dares to move you." Andrea showed the look of a nobleman, calm and relaxed, which made the people on the ship breathe a sigh of relief.

　　 got the assurance from Andrea that the Genoese did not act rashly and let the warships of Venice approach slowly. The opponent did not intend to launch an attack, but blocked the Genoese from two directions.

　　 "Excuse me, what does this mean? Our country seems to have signed a treaty with your country. Can we attack each other's merchant ships on the high seas?" Phillips asked boldly on the deck.

　　 But there was no response from the Venetians at all, and the other party put down the heavily armed boat and surrounded the Genoese.

　　 "It looks like it's troublesome now." Justinian muttered to himself, this kind of battle is not like just to deal with smuggling ships.

　　 I saw the Venetian navy holding a weapon aboard the merchant ship, and the leading Venetian officer glanced arrogantly at the people on the ship, obviously not paying attention to the opponent at all.

　　 "You are..." The angry Phillips was about to speak, but a long sword had been placed on his neck and his mouth was instantly closed.

　　 The Venetian doesn't seem to even give a chance to negotiate.

　　 But a young voice rang at this moment, causing the Venetian officer's face to change slightly.

　　 "Your Excellency Dandorou is no longer willing to abide by the treaty, or do you think that you have taken Constantinople by the method of killing people with the knife?"

　　 The Venetian officer saw the uncommonly dressed Andrea and Charles, who looked like a steward behind him, who looked out of place among the dirty crew.

After a little hesitation, the officer put away his sword and said, "Are you...?" Although he didn't put the Genoese in his eyes, he seemed to be a nobleman, and he was just a civilian. He didn't dare to act rashly for a while. .

　　 "What do you mean? Do you think I need to answer?" Andrea's arrogant answer made the Venetians seem to hesitate, and they didn't expect to encounter aristocrats here.

　　 But it does not mean that the Venetian officers are afraid. After all, the Genoese and Venetians are rivals. In addition to commercial runs, wars also occur from time to time. At the beginning, Manuel the Great joined Genoa to fight against Venice's commercial trade and almost collapsed Venice. And now that he has reached this point, how could he shrink back because the opponent is a nobleman in Genoa?

　　 "Huh, so what? We are just a routine," the middle-aged officer said coldly, causing the Genoese on board to sink.

"Oh? It seems that you Venetians are becoming more and more arrogant now. Do you really see the Mediterranean as your sea?" The young man said disdainfully, but he didn't seem to be flustered at all. The hanging heart of the Genoese on the boat can finally be put down. No matter how the Venetians and Genoese have an armistice agreement, the other side will probably not tear their skin for a while.

Facing Andrea’s provocation, the Venetian officer sneered, “What’s the reason? Now it’s no better than when you kneeled and licked the Greeks to fish for oil and water. Now this is where we have the final say. Not long ago, Governor Dandoro. Your lord has issued a blockade order, and all ships from Anatolia to Constantinople must go through inspections or leave!"

　　 "What is the truth? When is it your turn to do this in this sea area has always been high seas?" Andrea changed his color suddenly, and he didn't expect that the Venetian, who had expanded in strength, was now so arrogant.

　　 "Now it's not your turn to point out. Either leave here or let us search the entire ship. Choose for yourself!"

　　 The Venetians gave harsh conditions without negotiating the meaning~www.ltnovel.com~ It may not be difficult, but this undoubtedly means that Genoa is subdued to the Venetians. Justinian felt nervous as he witnessed all this. If the two sides fell apart, his plan would definitely be interrupted.

"Yes, I allow you to search, but I won't just let this matter go. When I return to Genoa, I will ask Venice to give me an explanation." Andrea obviously also said very angrily, but still made it. Made a concession, but Justinian became nervous in that case, and it would be bad if Muzfius was recognized.

　　 "That's fine. As for the others, I don't care." The officer didn't pay attention to Andrea's warning at all. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers took their weapons into the cabin and searched one by one. This is indeed their task, because the Latins encircled the remnants of the Byzantine Empire and set up a blockade to prevent people from escaping from the sea. If it were not for Andrea's identity, the Venetians were originally prepared to seize the ship.

　　 I saw that all the people on the ship were gathered on the deck, and Justinian and Muzfius were no exception.

　　 The Venetian officer nodded in satisfaction, and counted the ups and downs of the merchant ship. Everyone was here, but stopped when his gaze scanned Justinian and Muzfius.

　　 "You don't seem to be crew members, right?" Seeing the clothes of the two men, the officer noticed something was wrong at a glance. As soon as this remark came out, both Justinian and Muzfius sank. Although Muzfius was covered with gauze on his face, he couldn't recognize him for a while, but if he checked carefully, his feet would be revealed.

　　 But at this moment, Andrea's voice of dissatisfaction sounded again, "Why, do you even have to embarrass the people under me?" An unexpected scene happened.
