Eagle Flag of Epirus

"There are assassins!"

With a scream cut through the night sky, the soldiers who had been dormant in the darkness suddenly surrounded the entire czar’s tents. They were all armed, but these people were not the guards of the Czaroyan at all. .

In the tooth tent, just hearing the movement outside, Justinian had already determined that this was a trap that had already been prepared for him. He had already noticed the weirdness of this since he was outside just now, but if he showed the slightest hesitation at the time, those who were ambushing outside might have solved themselves on the spot.

Everything was clearly planned, just to plant himself, and the **** smell that Justinian smelled at this time also made him immediately aware of the evil in his heart. He lit the candle on the candlestick beside him, and under the dim firelight he finally saw clearly that there was a cold and stiff corpse lying in a pool of blood in the tsar’s tooth tent, and that corpse was still there not long ago. The Bulgarian tsar Kaloyan Assen tried to persuade him with words.

Although Justinian himself did not want to believe this fact, Carloyan, known as the "Roman Butcher," was really killed. Just like being assassinated in history, a fatal knife in the chest made him killed on the spot without much struggle. Looking at the degree of blood clotting on the ground, Czaroyan himself was obviously killed not long ago. And the self here is undoubtedly the biggest suspicion now, if it is caught by the group of malicious people outside, it will be impossible to argue.

And just when Justinian was in a dilemma, just listen to—

"Wow!"

Outside the tooth tent, there was the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air. The moment the atmosphere was torn apart, Justinian's face changed. He immediately responded and fell to the ground quickly, which made the flying flying over his head. Arrow failed to take his life.

But because of this, Justinian still had a lingering fear between the electric light and flint, but he took a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the opposite party was also a little afraid, so he didn't dare to rush in immediately and embrace him. If that were the case, the outnumbered Justinian would undoubtedly die.

Even so, Justinian is still in a desperate situation. He completely underestimated the lower limit of the Bolgars. In a sense, these guys are really the successors of Byzantium, and even the court's conspiracy and assassination have been learned. In this way, the young people surrounded by groups are now hanging by a thread, and outside the tent, the bows and arrows of the Bolgars are still shooting. Justinian barely escaped by hiding behind the table, and now the only way out is to rush out and encircle and return to his camp, but outside are all enemy archers. At this time, you can't expect to be able to Let the opponent's shooter stop attacking!

Justinian, who didn't say a word, also smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he was really in a dangerous situation, and the other side was obviously prepared for it to kill himself. The only thing he can do now is to delay as much as possible, but when Justinian's eyes swept around at will, something suddenly fell in a pool of blood but Justinian's eyes jumped and stopped.

It was the iron crown of Bulgaria. Although it was stained with the blood of Emperor Kaloyan, it was not what it looked like. However, relying on the induction of the fragments of the ark of the covenant, Justinian recognized it at a glance. And at this moment, the pendant box that had been hanging around Justinian's neck once again radiated the familiar pale white light-the ark of the covenant awakened for the second time today.

The immature voice rang in Justinian's ear, as if sending charcoal in the snow, and Justinian couldn't help being speechless for a while.

"Sure enough, I still need me to help you, but at least the second piece is finally in my hands."

And as soon as the words fell, the white light emitting from the floating ark suddenly became blazing, and Justinian was suddenly swallowed by the radiant light before he even realized what was going on. When I entered, my eyes went dark, and I just felt that at this moment I seemed to be the deepest fall to hell, and I no longer felt anymore.

"What happened?!"

When there was an exclamation of the assassin from the Tsar’s tent, the Bulgarian nobles and soldiers everywhere rushed towards the place. Everyone paid their attention to the city of Thessaloniki, which had changed before. , But did not expect that their czar would encounter an assassin. The nervous people rushed there immediately, including Prince Theodor who had just heard the news. He also knew Justinian’s plan, and looking at the movement in Thessaloniki, he expected it to be almost impossible. It's done. But before he had time to be happy, he heard such ominous news. Uneasy, he immediately arrived at Emperor Kaloyan’s tooth tent, but he had already seen a large number of people feel it. The rumors that followed immediately confirmed his anxiety before coming ~www.ltnovel.com~, and the news also made all the people present to be discolored.

Not long ago, Tsar Kaloyan was assassinated and died!

A panic haze enveloped everyone. The king of a country was assassinated in this way. Now that the army is outside and the dragons are headless, Theodore is also cold in his heart as he watched this scene, and all his previous efforts have been paid. East flow.

But what happened next made Theodor Dukas even more unexpected--

"Who killed His Majesty the Tsar, we want him to pay for it!"

I don't know who in the crowd first yelled this sentence. It was like igniting the emotions of the whole Bulgaria. The eyes of the passionate Bolgars were full of flames of revenge. Theodore who watched this scene was horrified, and somehow the atmosphere seemed to be a little bad.

And the next moment, a Bulgarian servant with a sharp throat suddenly pointed his finger at him and shouted: "They are the ones who killed His Majesty Kaloyan. These are the Greeks. I saw the man named Justin. The Greeks from Nepal walked into the tsar's tooth tent, and when I entered, I saw that his majesty had fallen in a pool of blood."

what? !

At this moment, many violent people cast their hateful eyes on Prince Theodor who was standing behind them and the people around him. Fortunately, the guards had been following by the side, and the nervous Roman soldiers hurriedly took Theodore. Erdukas stood in his way, always on guard against the Bolgars who might suddenly get into trouble.

At this very moment, a voice happened to stop the passionate Bulgarians from preparing for indiscriminate vengeance, and the person who came out was not someone else but the young prince of Bulgaria-Ivan Asen.

"Stop it all!"
