Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Block them, buy time, hurry!" Seeing this sudden attack, the panicked Latins could only suppress their fear and try to stop them. The defenders, awakened by the explosion, quickly moved closer to the collapse of the city wall in an attempt to build a line of defense, and also wanted to plug the gap with deer villages and tartar to prevent the Roman army from breaking through here.

　　 But it is undoubtedly too late

　　 "Killing" the Turkic cavalry, known for their mobility, has long been in front of them. Although the gap in the collapsed city wall is a bit narrow, it is a piece of cake for these peoples who are good at freely galloping in the Anatolian mountains. I saw the galloping steed rushing into the crowd, and a **** storm was set off in time.

　　 "Let go, let go!"

　　 The panicked Athenian nobles still wanted to organize a defense, but the soldiers with crossbows and bows and arrows were the first targets of the Turkic people's attack. They were killed immediately and suffered heavy casualties.

　　 "Hold it up, hold it up, whoever dares to take a step back will do it in military law!" The nobleman in charge of the city guarded the defeated subordinates desperately, but it would be useless no matter how he pulled his throat.

　　 Suddenly, the nobleman felt the cold light flashes in front of him, and the next second he only felt a chill that made him horribly cold on his neck. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling and dazzling blood red covered his vision

　　 "Bao".

　　 Turkic people riding fast horses dropped sharp scimitars into the necks of the Latin nobles at the ultimate speed, beheading them cleanly and neatly, and the bright red came from the blood in the cavity.

The corpse of the Latin nobleman who was beheaded on the spot fell from the horse in full view, and the **** head was also pinned to the Turkic warrior. This scene completely destroyed the morale of the army of the Principality of Athens, and there was no resistance. Of courage.

The walls of Athens were completely lost. The defeated Athenians fled in a hurry and hid in the city. For a while, the Turkic cavalry did not continue pursuing them, because it was not good for them if they were caught in street fighting. Instead, they chose to disperse the skirmishers and open Athens. The gates of the city enlarged the troops to enter the city.

　　 From this moment, the beginning of the war has come to an end.

"What's going on?" Otto Roche, who was still asleep, was awakened by the sound of screaming, watching the fire outside the window, and he was really exhausted before, so he slept very deep, but The current noise actually dragged him out of his sleep. The Duke of Athens immediately realized that something was wrong. At this moment, he saw a nobleman with a blood-stained face and a tattered body rushing into him. His bedroom shocked him.

　　 "Who?" The alert Alto Roche picked up the long sword by the bed and asked.

　　 And the nobleman quickly raised his hands and said tremblingly: "Lord Duke, I am Lord Robb who sent me over to report to you what happened on the front line."

　　 "Front line, tell me what's going on outside?" Duke Otto, who was taken aback, quickly put down the sword in his hand and asked quickly.

And the little nobleman quickly replied: "Your Highness, the city wall has been broken by the Greeks! We can't stop the enemy's attack at all, and the casualties are heavy!" Obviously this nobleman has been so scared at this moment that he does not look like a warrior. Looks like.

And Duke Otto, who learned of all this, was also in a deep shock. He did not expect that the Greeks who were most looked down on daily would unexpectedly attack the walls on which they depend for survival. If this were the case, Athens would have been at this moment. It has completely become an undefended city, and rumors have arisen before. It is said that the Greeks can get great rewards for killing nobles above the knights, and all ordinary soldiers and civilians who lay down their weapons can get their lives safe. Guarantee, now as a monarch, he is worried.

　　 "This is impossible! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The exclaimed Duke Otto repeated the same sentence repeatedly, unable to believe the fact that the subordinates in front of him said. Without powerful siege equipment, how did the opponent break through the wall? The man who couldn't accept this result was crazy at the moment, but he still picked up the long sword beside him and put on the armor set aside.

　　 Gradually, Otto Roche finally recovered a bit, his mentality calmed down, and he took a deep breath and looked at the subordinates beside him and asked:

　　 "Where have the Greeks hit?"

　　 "It has penetrated the central square, and the defensive fortress has fallen. Even if the street fighting continues, it is very reluctant." The Latin aristocrat who answered truthfully said breathlessly. In fact, the Athenian army did not last long after resisting. There are many reasons for this. First, they were caught off guard and did not react at all. Second, without the support of Achaia, the number of Roman troops that had not attacked the city’s defenders could be mobilized at this moment. too much. But the last point is the most terrible. Due to Justinian’s orders, even Turkic people with a bad reputation did not harass or plunder civilian areas. Therefore, they not only got the Greeks who have been oppressed in the city. In response, even some Latin civilians actually chose to remain neutral. This directly made it impossible for the Principality of Athens to even rely on street fighting to block it.

　　 In the past few days, Justinian deliberately caused turmoil in the city of Athens. As the army invaded the central square, the miserable fate of the dignitaries of the Principality of Athens has been doomed.

　　 After knowing all this, as Duke Otto, who had already experienced a lot of battles, he finally understood that the general situation was gone, lowered his arms, and his eyes became bleak.

　　 "Could it be that ~www.ltnovel.com~ really everything is over?!"

Just when this man was almost desperate, the blood-stained little noble in front of him stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, maybe we can now use the power of the Achaean army, maybe with their help, say It may be possible to repel the Greek attack."

This sentence awakened the desperate Otto Roche. He then remembered that although the Greeks had already invaded the center of the city, the Achaean army was still in his own hands, if there was such a pivotal army. If you join the battlefield, maybe the battle can really be reversed.

　　 A violent man nodded quickly and was about to give an order, but was stopped by the little nobleman in front of him.

"But before that, it is better to ask your Highness to release the Marquis of Gottfrey first, so that I am afraid that the Achaia army can be willing to obey our command." The noble reminded, after all, the monarch of the Marquis of Achaia is still still there. In the secret house arrest of Duke Otto, if there is no equal exchange, it will be useless for the reluctant Achaeans to join the battlefield.

And Otto, who just remembered this, immediately said yes, and couldn't help but look at the little nobleman. In this situation, the other party could still be in danger and make suggestions for himself. What does Count Robb do? There was such a good little guy at that time. He didn't hesitate anymore, so Otto Roche ordered the attendant to take out the key and walked straight to a wall of his bedroom. He took down a portrait hung on the wall, and there was a mechanism behind it. As Duke Otto turned the switch, a hidden door slowly opened in front of him, and that was where the Marquis of Gottfrey was under house arrest.
