Eagle Flag of Epirus

"It seems that they didn't let me down!" Justin Nie said with a slight emotion after receiving the Neiying Feijian Booklet that was bought by the city. Not long ago, the Duke of Athens in the city did not unexpectedly act, and directly put Gottfrey under house arrest, and out of his unpreparedness, he took the military power of all the knights and nobles under the Marquis of Achaia, and controlled the entire Achaia. Asian army. At this time, the Achaeans were completely under surveillance and deprived of all arms.

This is indeed a very smart choice. It can be said that the Duke of Athens immediately killed the possible threat of the Achaean army in the bud. However, this is exactly the result Justinian needed, because by comparison, the Achaeans who have played against him will be more familiar with his methods, and now with the help of the Principality of Athens, the only one is gone. Obstacles, everything is ready.

"I have done what you said, will you really honor your promise?" It was not Arslan or Neusky, who he most trusted, standing in front of Justinian, but Battis. Sir special. It can be said that the success of Justinian's plan this time was inseparable from the man in front of him taking the nephew of the Marquis William to take refuge. It was this spread of rumors that caused the Latins in Athens to have a rift. It's just that Baptiste is more concerned about Justinian's previous promise.

"Of course there is no problem. I was not going to break my promise." After taking a deep look at the other person, Justinian nodded and agreed, but instead looked at the man in front of him even higher in his heart. Although he only holds the title of knight, Baptiste is more responsible for the title of knight than any high-powered man Justinian has ever seen. In addition to him, the Viscount Senna was among the people who were entrusted by the Marquis of William, but Baptiste was the only one who was determined to carry it through to the end. For such a person, Justinian naturally showed the greatest kindness.

"As long as the Achaia state announces its merger into the empire, I will guarantee that Charlie Chapulit will still have a hereditary fief in Andra Vida." Justinian said lightly, seemingly harsh conditions. In fact, it is Justinian’s final bottom line. He is not the later Mikhail VIII, and will never allow the emergence of a country within a country.

"In that case, of course it's best." After hearing Justinian's offer of his own, Baptiste didn't have any objections to this, but nodded, because he was very much towards Achaia. There is no unrealistic illusion of being able to remain independent, and such a result is undoubtedly the best result for the child of Charlie Chapulitt. In this way, his promise to the Marquis of William Chapulitt was barely fulfilled.

"So what are you going to do after all this is over?" Suddenly, with a hint of something else, Justinian looked at the Latin man tentatively and asked. Although expelling the Latins is now Justinian’s top priority, but for Gottfrey, who has caused him trouble on the battlefield, he is willing to open the door, and more importantly, Justinian’s fancy It is the true knight quality that this man possesses. Because of this, Justinian chose to throw an olive branch at this time.

"I seem to have nowhere to go. Either stay with His Royal Highness Charlie or go to the east with Lord Senna." Baptiste returned truthfully, although he was made a knight, but he did not have his own fief. , With the death of the lord, now he has returned to the predicament before joining the Crusades. Apart from going to the east, obviously there is no second option.

"Then instead of this, I'm currently short of capable personnel, would you like to come over?" Just then, who was no longer covering up, said his proposal straightforwardly. In fact, this in itself is nothing shocking. Before the two sides really guilty, it is very common for the Latins to make allegiance to the Roman Empire. For example, when the leaders of the First Crusade passed Constantinople, they declared their allegiance to Emperor Alexei I at the time, and Emperor Manuel also used Gentiles to counterbalance the nobles in the court. Latins and even Turkic people. It's just that in the whole juncture now, this matter seems subtle. After all, the two sides are now in the same situation, and the Byzantine attitude towards the Latins is not discriminated and excluded. Therefore, to Justinian's unexpected invitation, Baptiste also showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Are you serious? Don't be kidding me, I'm afraid you will only be criticized for doing this." Baptiste shook his head and said. He has witnessed the intensification of hatred between the two sides over the past year. Justinian’s current identity, as a Latin, cannot be tolerated by his side.

"A true empire needs to be inclusive in order to continue to grow and prosper. From the republican era to the imperial era, Rome’s eagle flag can never be relied on forever~www.ltnovel.com~ and if I can’t even do this. If you arrive, where can you talk about reviving the empire? Be loyal to me! I think your talents can't be maximized in the Latins who focus on blood and identity, so why not choose to cooperate with me? After all, Justinian also walked forward two steps slowly, and stretched out his hand to Baptiste, revealing the ring that symbolizes identity and strength.

And at this moment, Baptiste, who seemed to be attracted, did not refuse again, but his eyes fell on it. There is no doubt that he was really tempted by Justinian's conditions. As the **** in the family, he was born unable to inherit any of his father's inheritance, so he had to choose to join the Crusades to make a living in the East. But deep in my heart, Baptiste has never been willing to spend his life as mediocre as a nobleman with a territory. Therefore, wealth and territory are not important, but the last sentence Justinian just said hit Baptiste's heart completely, that is, to display his true talents. And this young man in front of him can provide himself with such a stage.

At this moment, Baptiste finally made up his mind. Without any hesitation, he knelt down in front of Justinian, kissed Justinian's ring, and swore allegiance to the young man in front of him.

Justinian also drew his sword and put it on Baptiste’s shoulder at this time. "According to your ritual, I should now ask you if you are willing to swear allegiance to me and be my loyalty for the rest of my life. Knight, use your courage, force and wisdom to serve me?"

"I, Baptiste Horn Sovadia, swear to you in the name of Father, my sword is here, and I will be loyal to you until I die!"
