Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 15: Shadows under the night

Justinian realized that he was too careless. Since he was brought here from the future by the Ark of the Covenant, he was too confident in the history of Byzantium that he had forgotten that there were too many things that could not be predicted and controlled in this world. .

For example, the fragment of the ark of the covenant is an incredible existence in itself, but Justinian's passing by itself means that he can no longer think about things in accordance with normal people's thinking. In fact, Justinian has already had speculation. The rumor that the Bulgarians gained independence by relying on Sofia's iron crown may not be a gossip. Especially today he met Anastasius.

According to Justinian's knowledge, after 1204, the Crusaders established a number of countries on the broken Byzantium, but it actually took more than ten years to form a situation of how strong and criss-crossed in the future. For example, the establishment of the Marquis of Achaia did not unify the Peloponnese until a few years later, and the Duchy of Thebes was established on the Greek peninsula. However, when Justinian brought Epirus' army into Moriah, he gradually discovered that something was wrong, that is, the expansion of the power of Achaia was completely beyond his imagination. And some history seems to be a little distorted, completely beyond Justinian's grasp. For example, the Leos Grosse, if he was in situ, he should still hold on to Corinth until he died in the Acropolis of Corinth in 1208, but even then, Corinth didn’t completely fall into Gott until 1210. The fief of Frie Villehadok. But now, the main cities of the Peloponnese are completely in the hands of Achaia, and the nobles of Moria fled to Fort Wiscari. At first Justinian just thought that maybe he had slightly changed the timeline caused by the butterfly effect, but when he interrogated Nicky Fruss, Justinian discovered that it was wrong. Moria gave up most of the city and escaped from Latin America. There is a person's shadow behind the scenes in everything that people chase and kill.

This little-known authoritarian Anastasius in history, he seemed to have foreseen something, and he repaired the city wall at Fort Wiscari very early, which had to make Justinich suspicious. . The moment Justinian saw the old man at the banquet, he realized that his guess was correct. The tingling sensation from the locket on his neck was exactly the same as his reaction when he saw Sophia's Iron Crown. It's a pity that the fragments of the ark are sleeping, and Justinian can't inquire about it, but judging from the numerous signs-these fragments of the ark should have their own spiritual aspects.

This is not so good, Justinian came here almost single-handedly, Anastasius's existence is undoubtedly like a Damocles sword hanging over his head. However, he hasn't seen Muzifius's wife and daughter yet. The purpose of his trip is to take them away from here. Now Justinian's situation has turned into a dilemma.

...

Confused Nickiphorus listened to the quiet surroundings, without a sound, he finally took off his headgear with the courage, opened his eyes but saw that he was in Fort Wiscari at this time. In a gloomy alley. Unexpectedly, when the other party let him go, he escaped, and Nicky Fruss was almost grateful to cry. When Nikifrus was tied to the wood house and was taken away by the Turks, he almost thought that Justinian had decided to kill himself.

But he was let away by the opponent so easily, and Nikifrus still feels that this is like a dream. And this clever nobleman immediately understood the reason Justinian did this. After all, killing a nobleman would cause a lot of trouble, and Justinian would let him go without leaving a trace, and there would be no handle. As for him, a little nobleman, he is naturally not too stupid to understand what Justinian meant. The best solution is to shut up and swallow the loss as if nothing happened.

After all, under Justinian's torture, he said a lot of things that shouldn't be said. The matter became a big deal, and it was also very detrimental to Nicky Fruss.

Having made up a good idea, Nikifrus decided to put what happened today to the stomach, and nothing happened. However, at this moment, the sound of a carriage passing by attracted his attention.

Nikifrus, who came out of the alley, saw the carriage heading towards the water gate of the castle, where it was the exit of Wiscari Castle to the sea. How can anyone go there at so late? And as the lord of Wiscari Fort, Nikifrus knows that it is very heavily guarded. After all, the daily resources of Wiscari need to be transported there, and more importantly, it is still this easy place. The only weakness of the castle is difficult to defend, so even he can't approach it casually.

I couldn't help being curious, and the carriage was very slow, so the man immediately followed.

But after a while, under the moonlight, Nicky Fruss saw from a distance that the soldiers guarding the water gate stopped the carriage going there. Sure enough, this kind of place was not something that casual people could approach.

Seeing this, Nikifrus also immediately found a small corner to hide and observe in secret, wanting to see who was in the carriage.

"Stop, what did you do?" The heavily armed Byzantine soldiers held shields and spears to hold on to the road to prevent the carriage from moving forward. On both sides, there were guards holding bows and crossbows aimed at the people on the carriage. Once the opponent dared to move them rashly Will attack without hesitation.

At this moment, the door of the carriage was slowly opened, and the soldiers also saw the appearance of the people in the carriage, including Nikiforus. Everyone was surprised. The man who appeared here was not someone else but George Border. Uncle. As a messenger from Nicaea, his status is very noble. The Byzantine soldiers who dared not neglect subconsciously lowered their weapons.

"Master Earl, why are you here?"

It was so late, the captain of the guard was really surprised to see this man here.

And George Frontier glanced at these soldiers indifferently, nodded and said: "Well, you are fine. After all, this is the key to this castle~www.ltnovel.com~ As a guard, you have taken responsibility well. "The man’s tone of voice made him feel complacent. Obviously the earl should have come to inspect their work.

However, Earl George's next sentence was completely beyond his expectation.

"It's a pity, sometimes, being too responsible will take your life in."

what? ! Hearing this sentence, the captain of the guard hadn't recollected that the world in front of him suddenly turned blood red. The defensive captain was stunned, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound. The blood surging in his throat completely made him speechless.

All this happened so quickly, but according to the observation Nick Fruss saw the scene clearly, a black figure fell from the low dwelling house, passing by the Byzantine captain like an agile cat. And the sharp short knife in his hand directly cut the target's throat, bursting out large swaths of blood, covering the face and eyes of the garrison captain.

It's an attack, it's an attack! Watching the captain's blood gush out. The soldiers realized that the Earl George was about to attack the Watergate. No matter what his purpose, the soldiers did not wait to die. However, it was too late. More dark shadows fell and staggered, cutting open the unprepared ones with a short knife. Soldier's throat. The Byzantine guards were too careless, and they subconsciously did not regard George Frontier as a threat, so they lowered their weapons, the crossbow arrows released the trigger, and the bows loosened the bowstrings, so that the assassin's surprise attack was too late to counterattack and was easily resolved in an instant. All this happened too quickly—Nicky Fruss looked at this scene completely cold.

But at this time, Uncle George Frontier didn't care about doing such a thing. Looking at the black-clothed assassins, he nodded and said: "You are doing a good job, and it is right to spend money to hire you."
