Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 6 Chapter 7: Our "Caesar"

The welcoming team went from inside the city all the way to the outside, and people were vying to see the true faces of these warriors. After all, they defeated the once incredible Latins and regained the entire Moriah in one fell swoop.

Even the old nobles of Moria, who have never been accustomed to the identity of Justinian as an outsider, have to admit that this fledgling young man has nothing to be picky about in terms of ability. It is almost perfect, except for the interests of both parties. Unable to reach an agreement, they have nothing to be dissatisfied with. It is precisely because of this that the nobles were not insincere in attending this ceremony to welcome Justinian's triumph. After all, driving the Latins from here was also a thing that made them extremely happy.

Therefore, the Earl of Conil, who is currently the most lofty among the Moria nobles, took the lead and led many nobles to greet Justinian’s horse, looking up at the young man in front of him, and praising him loudly. Denny’s magnificent martial arts, and at the same time thank the Lord for the eternal blessing of the Roman Empire, and then other nobles and onlookers also worshipped with the nobles to express their respect for the triumphant soldiers.

At this moment, Justinian, who was immediately watching all this in front of him, became a little more cautious. It seems that even though hundreds of years have passed, the Roman people are right, even though their own language has become Herod. Some old traditions still remain. For example, the triumphal ceremony greeted by this pair of victorious teachers. This made Justinian feel a little surprised, and he didn't know what to do to not be regarded as arrogant.

Behind Justinian, the cavalry captain Salleus, an confidant of Grand Duke Anastasius, immediately reacted. Under his command, the soldiers also gave the seized spoils to the Tripolis people to observe. I saw piles of armored weapons and cross battle flags all on the other side's carriage, and all of them demonstrated the tremendous results obtained by the frontline soldiers in their fierce fighting.

I saw that the whole of Tripolis was completely boiling, the solemn bells of the church rang, and in every corner, nobles, priests, ordinary citizens, merchants were all cheering, forming invisibly A celebration parade, and the warm atmosphere subsided a little after a long time, not because the joy was reduced, but everyone was waiting for the young governor sitting on the horse to speak.

   Because it is under the leadership of this young man who is still just a big boy in the eyes of most people, that they can achieve such a huge success. Although he was not well-known before, although his blood was not noble, he was only a small guard of the emperor, but it was he who achieved a huge victory that other pretentious old nobles did not achieve. In the eyes of common people, the gleaming light on Justinian's body all heralded the impending revival of the empire.

Under the attention of many eyes, Justinian finally slowly raised his right hand and said slowly with a pious expression: "With the blessing of the Lord, I will always step on the enemies of the empire until they Get out of our land or be completely burned to ashes by our anger. May the glory of Messiah walk with us!"

With Justinian’s chant, the whole scene also ushered in the most part. Justinian’s soldiers came forward with a group of symbolic prisoners. According to tradition, a prisoner was executed for Reflecting the magnanimity of the empire, the rest will be released and they will be sold into slavery. This last blood sacrifice undoubtedly aroused all the citizens present, and the people who shouted this long live pushed the atmosphere to the extreme.

The whole city is full of joy at this moment, but such a scene is very unpleasant in the eyes of Conil and other Moria nobles. Of course, they understand why the people under their rule have such a reaction. It is obvious that Justinian Such prestige relies on his great military exploits, and as he succeeds step by step, the support of this kind of momentum will certainly snowball more and more. And this is precisely the portrayal of the empire's regime change over the centuries. Even if Justinian does not show the slightest ambition now, the discerning nobles can fully see that this young man actually has that potential.

   "Justinian, this name is really interesting! This is the name of a great monarch!"

   "So what? Didn't Justinian II also want to become the second emperor? But in the end he became a poor lunatic, and he couldn't do anything with a name."

   "But in a sense, he does have similarities with our great emperor in history. He was born from a humble background, and he was just as rebellious as he started in the army."

   "Hehe, I'm afraid I can't agree with it. Anyone in the upper ranks understands that only with our strength can he sit on his throne, otherwise the Emperor Justinian would have already died in the Nika riot."

After the triumphant superficial effort was over, the nobles returned to their original places, separated from the low-status civilians, watched Justinian meet the civilians who greeted him, and generously gave generous rewards. The nobles are whispering ~ www.ltnovel.com~ There are fears and disdain, but there is one thing everyone agrees with, that is, they really are not the same as this young man.

At this moment, Count Conil, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "You think he is like the Emperor Justinian I, but I think it is to us what Caesar is to the Senate. He If we obstruct it, I am afraid that it will be of no avail in the future."

   This seemingly prosaic sentence caused a bout of speech among other nobles, and no one denied that no one agreed, but the comparison of Justinian to Caesar by Earl Conil was too surprising.

   "On the basis of this kid, you look at him too much, Lord Earl!" A nobleman was a little disapproving.

But Conil shook his head and replied: "I'm just making an analogy, but the same is that Caesar sounded the death knell for the Republic Senate, and this kid might also sound our death knell. . And I am afraid that there is not even Brutus among us."

   After speaking these horrible words, everyone's expressions were a little unnatural now, although their hearts did not approve of Earl Conil's words, they still felt a little bit shy in their hearts. And their eyes looking at Justinian from a distance also became a little strange at this moment...
