Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Then just do what you think in your heart, Justinian!" The man who had been silent at this moment finally spoke slowly, and at this moment, Justinian's face was He remained silent, but the tense muscles on his cheeks were finally relaxed.

But this scene shocked the other nobles present, they never expected Justinian to persuade Prince Theodor with a white tooth.

"His Royal Highness, this--!" Kronos still wanted to stop, but this time he was directly interrupted by Prince Theodor.

"Enough, Cronos, since I'm old enough, it's time for young people to break through. I understand your feelings, but I'm always afraid of children taking detours. Children will never grow up. "

Theodore's meaningful words were not just for Kronos Hearn alone, but also for other old nobles. In fact, it is better to say that Justinian persuaded him. Saying Justinian’s last remarks confirmed Theodor Dukas’s determination. Indeed, the meaning of this battle to him is just like Alesia’s to Caesar and Gaugamela’s to Alexandria. , If you just give up the previous efforts, you will have lost all your previous efforts. For what risk? What is it, not for Caesar, but for nothingness.

"Justinian, take orders!" Standing up from his position and slowly walking down the steps, Prince Theodore seemed to exude a supreme aura like a real king.

Is this the result cultivated by the former royal Dukas family? This kind of superior attitude between gestures and gestures can really be said that ordinary people can not imitate at all, and Justinian could not help but be moved. And the young man who quickly reacted immediately stepped forward, bowed down and took his command-this was what he had been waiting for. Although in his eyes the Latins in Athens are like dead bones in a cemetery, it is not enough to rely on the people in his hands. Therefore, it is indispensable to get the help of Theodor's power. And the man in front of him did not disappoint him.

"Justinian is now promoted as the temporary commander of the provincial border guards, commanding the three armies, and is responsible for regaining lost ground. All military dispatching is for its use, without error, and everyone unconditionally obeys the order without any violation. "The majestic voice of the man sounded at this moment, and the expressions of all the people present suddenly changed, but no one dared to raise objections, even those old nobles like Kronos. Dare to raise any objections.

Despite being unwilling, the nobles still acquiesced to this fact, making Justinian temporarily the commander-in-chief of the three armies, that is, the prince's agent. Regardless of the fact that the position of the provincial frontier defense commander is not so noble, it is the highest rank concurrently held by Theodor Dukas, and what it means to be temporarily granted to Justinian can be imagined.

And Justinian, who also understood this, lowered his head and replied softly: "The supreme glory is nothing more than serving your Highness. I am willing to do my best with this meager body, and I will do my best." Although it is. High-sounding lines, but there is one sentence that is what Justinian really thinks-that is to do his best. At this moment, he must also come up with something so that Theodor can really value himself. Truly lend your strength to yourself.

...

Two days have passed since the besieged city of Athens. Although it is far from running out of ammunition and food, the precarious situation has made the whole city uneasy. The vegetation is full of soldiers, for fear that the Greeks outside the city will attack. The Latins in the city were worried about the revenge that the city would encounter, while the Greeks feared the involvement of martial law in the city. In just two days, dozens of people were executed for suspected internal and external cooperation, which made an atmosphere of fear spread throughout the city.

But compared to what happened not long ago, all this is now completely insignificant-just yesterday, there was finally movement on the side of the besieged Greeks, and when the alert Latins were preparing to fight, it happened under the city. The scene left them dumbfounded.

Was captured and defeated at the Acropolis Hill unconditionally released by the Roman army? !

This was something that made the Latins happy, but the Marquis of Gottfrey in the city was busy trying to identify the status of prisoners and prevent spies from being mixed in.

"Are you still busy?" Duke Otto asked when he walked in and looked at Gottfrey, who was busy dealing with official documents. The relationship between the two had been greatly eased after the battle of life and death.

And Gottfrey nodded impatiently, looking at the mess in front of him, the man was already upset, "What do you say, I have already persuaded you not to let them into the city~www.ltnovel.com~this It is a deliberate trick by the Greeks. The identities of these people have been verified over and over again, but now I have no extra thoughts?" He had already discovered that these released prisoners were not regular troops, but militia forces from the Principality of Athens. Because of this, it is even more difficult to verify the identity. Obviously, the enemy on the opposite side chose to do this deliberately, but he didn't dare to take the risk of not checking it. Once some spy was mixed in, the consequences would be catastrophic. At the beginning, Gottfrey had a hunch and insisted on persuading Duke Alto to give up, but ultimately failed. Faced with these things now, this shrewd man is already exhausted physically and mentally.

But Duke Otto also has his own helplessness. "If I don’t do this, what can I do? We are not manpower enough. Many of the residents in the city are Greeks. It has chilled his own heart, and the situation will be unthinkable once the situation is out of control." Although Otto is a rough person, he is not stupid. He naturally has his own considerations and is a last resort choice.

After listening, and knowing that there is no alternative, Gottfrey showed a cold smile on his face, "Huh, this is all thanks to the little fox. I can't think of a second person with this kind of insulting method. But you specially I'm afraid it wasn't just to tell me about it, Lord Duke?" Seeing the expression on the other's face, Gottfrey suddenly guessed something.

And Otto Roche also solemnly acquiesced to the other party's guess, and handed a pleading full of confession to Gottfrey without saying a word.

"You'll know after reading it."

Receiving the paper in the opponent's hand, Marquis Gottfrey swept his gaze over the content on the paper, his expression suddenly changed, and his movements froze at this moment.
