Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 6 Chapter 2: News from the south

The scout cavalry who came from the south to bring back the news rushed to Justinian's front with a whip, and when he got off his horse, he was exhausted and panting, and his horse was exhausted and almost foaming at the mouth. This made everyone present couldn't help but get nervous about it--

During this period of time, they have been waiting for news from the south, that is, the problem of the remnants of the Achaia state.

Although the Principality of Athens was annihilated and Gottfrey, the Marquis of Achaia, was captured, the Marquis of Achaia, still entrenched in Corinth, was not completely destroyed. Forcibly attacking the Corinth fortress will undoubtedly cause huge casualties, but Justinian made a decision that no one thought of, that is to let Baptiste Sovadia take Charlie Chaplet to Corinth. Surrender the Latins there. As a condition, Justinian gave the title of Duke of Corinth who originally belonged to Leos Gross to Charlie Chapulit, and the nobles of the Achaia state once surrendered to the Empire Justinian promised to guarantee them. The original vested interest.

This is undoubtedly a very generous condition, but at first, when Justinian wanted to make this decision, he was met with fierce opposition from both Nevsky and Leo's defensive chief. Because they didn't trust the newly reconciled Latin, and Justinian asked the man named Baptiste to take the orthodox heir of the Achaia kingdom back home, and he might become a gangster if he was not careful. But in the end, at Justinian's insistence, Baptiste was finally sent to Corinth with the child. Therefore, seeing the scout panting with news at this time, as if the previous worries became a reality, the faces of Leo Defense Commander and Nevsky showed solemn expressions. If Achaia’s vassal kingdom resurrects, the trouble they have to deal with will be great, especially when the main force is now empty behind the city of Athens.

However, Justinian looked at the scout who couldn't catch his breath and said calmly: "Don't worry, speak slowly, is there any news?" His face didn't seem to be affected by the scout's reaction. worry about what.

At this time, the comforted scout finally took a sigh of relief, with a joyful expression on his face, and reported happily: "Master Justinian, the Marquis of Achaia has announced that it will surrender and accept your terms and announce that it will be renewed. Merged into the Empire, Master Baptiste sent me over overnight to report to you, please don’t worry."

As soon as these words came out, Leo and Neusky, who had thought that there was an accident, were surprised and delighted. The joy was that Corinth was able to return to the hands of the empire without blood, and the surprise was that Baptiste was really like Chas. There was no betrayal as Tenny trusted. For a time, the two couldn't help but admire Justinian's knowledge of people, and they didn't look away.

However, no one thought that as soon as the scout said the news, Justinian, who was still calm before, slammed a young scout's forehead with his finger, and said angrily: "Dare you still dare to speak? Such a big gasp? It made me worry about it for a long time!" In fact, he was always worried for fear of a big problem. But I always pretended to be confident, but now my hanging heart was finally let go.

Watching this scene, Neuschlio, who had just looked at each other and admired Justinian for a while, couldn’t help but laugh. They were still children after all. Even if the city seems to be deep, but at this time the heart of young people Still revealed. But this not only makes them feel ridiculous, on the contrary, Justinian like this makes them feel a little richer and more humane.

And the ill-tempered Justinian finished scolding the poor scout and let him go down to receive the reward, and then resumed his previous serious face and looked at the duo behind him: "Since Corinth has also recovered, then we You can leave tomorrow."

"Well, it should not be too late. After all, our rear is empty, and we have to watch out for the Venetians at all times. It's time to leave." Nevsky nodded. After a month of rest, the vitality of their army has recovered. As the Latins of Corinth also chose to surrender, the entire Moria and Athens are now unimpeded in their control. Now that Justinian's power is no less than that of a prince, the only thing needed now is to digest the results of this battle and hurry up. After all, their enemies will not remain indifferent. Especially in the previous war, under the frustration of the Venetian army, it was doomed that they could not continue to ignore Justinian’s existence, and they wanted not to be strangled in the bud~www.ltnovel.com~ The best way is to be fast. Grow up.

But Leo’s defense commander still had some doubts and said: "Although I understand the decision you made, it’s only Lord Justinian, I still cannot agree with you for being so tolerant to the Latins. Especially those Latins in Corinth, you They even promised them not to deprive them of their fiefdom, which I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people.” As tactfully as possible, before Justinian decided to leave the city of Athens, Leo’s defense chief told the young man his heartfelt words. People may hear that he is indeed talented, but sometimes he is still immature after all. Especially for the remnants of Achaia, he and Neusky are actually more inclined to cut the grass and root out the roots. After all, the two people who have already dealt with the Latins can't be more clear.

But Justinian waved his hand and interrupted what Leo’s defense commander had to say next, and said calmly: "I understand what you mean, but this is just a stopgap measure. As for the problem of the Latins, I Make your own decision. If they are really not grateful for my tolerance, they will naturally pay the price they deserve. But for the time being, let’s take a long-term view!” The young man said in a categorical tone, without the slightest. Compromise, watching all this, Leo and Neusky also felt the murderous aura implicit when Justinian said these words, slightly horrified.

So under Justinian's attitude, they didn't have much objection, and they could only choose to believe in Justinian again. After all, this little fox of Moriah is always retributable. If those Latins are really stupid enough to provoke him, they will suffer unspeakable consequences, and the end can be imagined. This young kid has never let them down in this respect--
