Eagle Flag of Epirus

The sudden appearance of warships on the sea completely caught the Venetians by surprise. The Byzantine Empire had already weakened its navy due to fiscal deficits many years ago. The little remaining power has basically been brought to the Nicaea region by the Lascaris family, but how can it be possible to have such an astonishing fleet in such a place? This makes Ranieri Dandoro who saw this scene Suddenly, there was a bad feeling.

　　 But it is obvious that the target of this fleet is them. From a distance, there is no flag on the fleet, which makes Ranieri smell a trace of conspiracy and danger. But at this moment, he was unable to order the army to retreat, and the Tatar cavalry bit them firmly, even if they suffered heavy losses, they refused to take a step back.

　　 And I saw that, under the cover of the firepower of the catapult, a heavy double-deck paddle boat was approaching the shore at full speed. This immediately aroused Ranieri's vigilance, only to hear the man yelling:

　　 "The archers still have trebuchets ready to stop them from landing! Stop them from going ashore!"

The anxiety in my heart was spontaneous, Ranieri’s hoarse voice made the people around him feel a little overwhelmed, but it was obvious that at this moment, their governor of Crete was putting the danger of these sudden fleets on Above the Tatar cavalry.

　　 A group of archers who were ordered immediately rushed to the beach and lined up, preparing to set up a formation to resist this sudden enemy.

But when the sailing boat was still some distance from the beach, suddenly, the twisting hatch on the side wall of the sailing boat opened, and a group of people in miscellaneous armor jumped directly into the cold water like a handle. The sharp blade slashed the waves and rushed towards the Venetians who had not had time to form a defense.

And the one who rushed to the front was not someone else, it was Nievski who did not appear with Arslan. Behind him, the Varangian Guard, wearing heavy chain armor, rushed towards Venice’s bow and arrow with a heavy two-handed battle axe in his hand. In hand.

　　 Before they had time to draw the bow and arrow, or even draw out the dagger and short knife to defend, the fierce battle axe rushed towards them.

　　 "Kill all these Venetian barbarians, for the humiliation suffered by the empire, attack with all their strength, never retreat, kill me"

　　Neusky, who uttered a terrifying roar, waved the battle axe in his hand and smashed the head of a Venetian soldier in front of him. Although the members of the Varangian Guard around him are not many, they are invincible and are not afraid of arrows and swords. The blood of these peoples from Northern Europe who have been sheltered by the gods seems to burn, and the wounds of the sword seem to be indifferent to them. effect.

　　 Anyone who dared to resist them was directly knocked and trampled by that strong body, or was chopped off by the astonishing large axe with a head full of astonishment. The ordinary soldiers who followed Neusky seemed to be deeply affected by this scene. Completely abandoned the original fear of the Venetians, stepping on the icy water towards the Venetians like a tide.

　　 "Break them down, long live the empire!"

"Block them, block them! Don't worry about the Tatars, Delevingne immediately returned to help!" Ranieri who witnessed this scene immediately yelled, when he saw Varangi's guards smashed like melons and vegetables. At the moment of the Venetian army on the shore, he realized that this was the last reinforcement of the Byzantines. These suddenly appeared guys completely changed the course of the war. If they could not be stopped, he would lose the war.

　　 Damn it, Reinhardt didn't they notice it at all? ! The furious Ranieri blamed all this on the other nobles who commanded the fleet on the sea, and the enemy was not aware of such a large target.

　　 On the other side, the Devin knight who was ordered immediately led the Italian heavy cavalry under his command to put down the Tatar cavalry in front of him and rushed to the Varangians who were wantonly slashing in the crowd. They are most aware of these pragmatic horrors from the Nordic land. When they first attacked Constantinople, even though the Byzantines finally reached the end of the crossbow, the elite of these elites still brought them a terrible memory.

To deal with the king of infantry, only the lances were used. The Venetian knights under the iron hoofs were tumbling, holding their lances and rushing towards the seemingly defenseless Varangian Guard, as long as they defeated the other Byzantine troops. There is no longer any threat.

　　 But at this moment, behind the Varangians, a heavily armored cavalry greeted him, and crashed into the Italian knights with his mace and long sword. It is the guard that Justinian built heavily in Ilovin Castle. These Normans from Naples are often exiled nobles with superb riding skills and extraordinary bravery. Even though they are Latins, Justinian reuses them. They were the most powerful trump card in their hands ~www.ltnovel.com~, and in an instant they broke the Venetian formation and completely took the advantage of the battlefield from the Venetians.

　　 Not only the Venetian, but even Justinian was shocked by this scene. He never thought that Neusky would appear in such an astonishing form. I saw Nevsky and his army who came from the sea road regenerating their energy along the way. On the contrary, the Venetian army at this moment was already exhausted by the fierce fighting. I saw that the Venetians finally couldn't hold it back. First of all, as an elite knight army, the casualties had exceeded the upper limit that they could bear. These knights hired by the Venetians had their own honors, but they were not willing to lose them in vain. Their lives, and their defeat immediately became the last straw that overwhelmed Venice's morale. Like a chain effect, watching the nobles have no intention of fighting, the ordinary soldiers who died and wounded naturally disappeared, but the nobles couldn't stop watching this scene.

　　 Seeing all this in front of me, although there is still a hint of confusion in my heart, Justinian did not hesitate at all, and ordered to Imaz beside him:

　　 "Order everyone to attack with all their strength!"

"Yes!"

　　 The opportunity is not to be missed. With the intervention of Grand Duke Anastasius, he now has no constraints. Looking at the Venetian army that finally can't hold it, Justinian understands that his opportunity has come.

Immediately afterwards, Fort Wiscari, where the city gates were closed, suddenly opened, and the heavy armored cavalry led by Justinian galloped out with an unstoppable momentum, rushing towards the sound of thunderous horseshoes. The Venetians, who were already in chaos, were unstoppable.
