Eagle Flag of Epirus

Chapter 20: The attack begins

   "Your Excellency Bossimonde, are you not ready to rest at this late hour? You will get up early tomorrow for Fort Adrianople." Gallias said displeasedly, remembering that he did not invite the other party to the banquet.

And Bosimonde obviously heard the dissatisfaction in the other party’s words, but he replied indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, but I think you can rest assured that those Greeks are just a mob. Maybe wait. When we get there, our beloved Emperor has already triumphed.” Bossimonde, who was not speculative, turned and left to continue drinking and having fun with a few nobles, causing Gallias to resent.

   The Romanian Empire has been full of contradictions since its establishment. Boniface was very dissatisfied with Baldwin, and even reached the point of meeting each other. If it were not for the Venetians to mediate, the other party would never give in. Up to now, although Boniface has obeyed the oath and sent an army, he is obviously not obedient at all.

   But now, Galliasye didn't want to waste his tongue any more, turned around and continued to arrange deployment.

"You go down and prepare first, don't be careless, those people are likely to initiate a riot today, do you understand?" Gallias exhorted, his detailed work has told him that the rebels today are likely to take action. , Because of this, he was careful not to give the opponent a chance. We must know that Constantinople is not only a city of wealth, but also there are a large number of dissatisfied citizens here. Those who were taken into captivity and fell into abject poverty were very dissatisfied with the Latins.

   It would be catastrophic if someone raised their arms and shouted in response.

"But Château Gallias, there is really no need to send more guards over there and here in the armory?" The next man suddenly asked, and Gallias ordered someone to guard every key place. , But the armory and court guards have been reduced a lot. He was a little worried and asked Gallias for his opinion.

But Gallias waved his hand and said, "No, there is nothing important in the armory. The people in Boniface are very close, and even if an accident happens, it won't be much." In the war, the armory of Constantinople has been evacuated, and it is not important there. Besides, the location facing the square was very empty, very suitable for cavalry to attack, he did not think that the rioters would be so stupid.

   What Galias cares more about is the residential area of ​​Constantinople. This city is much larger than he thought, and it is more difficult to manage...

   But what Gallias never expected was that Justinian chose to be the armory, because the Latins would never think that the mysterious Greek fire was actually hidden in that armory.

  ……

   As night fell, a group of Romanian soldiers on patrol had just passed by in a secret alley. A stone slab under their feet was lifted off, and a figure poked his head out of the tunnel.

   "Everything is safe, it seems that there is no key defense here." After confirming the safety, more people came out from the ground, like a mole, silently and cautiously.

   "Are you sure that the Greek fire is really here?" Vasily asked Justinian beside him in a low voice. He eventually had to be persuaded by the opponent to make a desperate move. In order to prevent the information from leaking, Vasily did not disclose his plan to anyone before.

   At this time, Justinian also said in a low voice: "Of course I can guarantee that I don't have to risk my life."

   From the current point of view, at least everything is going well. In order to block the city, the Latins sent all the mixed teams to make the defense of the less important place like the armory weaker.

   "I hope so." Vasily said in a deep voice, and nearly two hundred resistance troops were hidden in the dark, but at this time the Romanian defenders were completely unaware of the defense.

"It's very cold, we have to stay here to watch the night at night." A dozen soldiers outside the armory couldn't help but complain. They had to stay here to watch the night. However, there were very few people here. Individuals are worried.

   "Have you heard of it?" At this moment, a sentry whispered to his companion.

   "What did you hear?"

   "His Royal Highness Louis has already captured Nicaea, and I am afraid that those Herods will surrender soon." The soldier proudly told his companions what he had heard recently.

"That's great. If they can stop some, we don't have to be so worried." Several soldiers nodded. They were all mercenaries from the West, and they were just for the sake of mixing up their food. The piety of the Crusades to regain the Holy Land is completely different. Now that I have finally settled down in the prosperous city of Constantinople, I certainly hope to stop fighting everywhere.

   But it is a pity that God is not ready to give them this opportunity now. The resistance army who is secretly peeping watching the alien invaders in their eyes has already been in anger.

   "Squeak!", the tight sound of the bowstring sounded. I don't know who actually pulled the bowstring privately. The silence of darkness immediately aroused the alertness of the Romanian soldiers guarding in the armory.

   "Who?" The shouting Latin drew his sword and clenched his spear. Hearing a swish sound, a bow and arrow shot from the darkness and stabbed a Latin man in the throat, killing him on the spot.

   "Kill!"

  The secret attack failed~www.ltnovel.com~ Only the Ming war was over. Justinian hissed and screamed, holding the sword in his hand, and rushed out first. There are not many people on the other side, as long as they are not allowed to retreat into the armory.

"kill……"

   For a while, Vasily and his men flushed and screamed hoarsely, brandishing weapons and rushing out after Justinian. Most of them are civilians who have never experienced combat, and now the hatred of the Latins makes them share the same hatred.

   The Latin, who was frightened by the resistance army that suddenly appeared in the black case, then reacted.

   "Open the door to the armory!"

   Now they can only survive by hiding here, but this is precisely what Justinian does not allow.

   "Javelin!" Justinian roared. Although he was very young, his momentum convinced everyone.

   The resistance army behind him threw a javelin. As the pride of the Romans in ancient Rome, this weapon is still not behind. The fierce heavy javelin fell on the panicked Latin, and the Latin soldier quickly raised his shield to resist it. However, the simple wooden shield was quickly shattered by a heavy javelin attack at such close range, and at this moment the Greek Resistance Army also rushed up.

   The first thing Justinian greeted was a Latin soldier carrying a spear. Suddenly, the opponent had no time to take advantage of the length of the spear and was approached by Justinian.

   Justinian knew that there must be no difference in this kind of time. Either you die or I die. He held the long sword in both hands and slashed it and hit the opponent's shoulder blade directly.

With a scream, the Latin soldier before he died wanted to stab Justinian with his spear, but Justinian swung his sword fiercely and flatly, only to see a human head across the air. The perfect arc.
