Eagle Flag of Epirus

In the end, the Fortress of Ilovan was under emergency martial law. After returning with the prisoners, Justinian ordered all his subordinates to prepare the defense of the city. Even though Arslan was in his own hands, Justinian was still uncertain whether these Turkic people were It will be as he expected.

　　 "The castle has been reinforced!"

　　 "The moat and ditch and the horse are ready!"

　　 "Everyone has already withdrawn into the castle."

　　 "Okay, tell everyone to be ready to fight the Turks!" Justinian nodded, no matter what, now he must prepare for the worst.

"You guys may be very reluctant to deal with the siege of thousands of people. Your Excellency Justinian!" At this time, Arslan finally found out how many Greek soldiers were in Ilovan Castle, despite the high morale. But most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. If it weren't for his attack on the terrain and it was not conducive to cavalry combat, it would be easy to destroy them.

"Surrender, if you go on like this, you will definitely die!" Arslan looked at Justinian and said calmly. Although he admitted the strength of this Greek boy, he was still too weak after all, and the strength of Ilovan Castle was complete. Can't fight the Turkic warriors who have experienced many battles.

　　 But Justinian turned to look at Arslan, who had become his prisoner, but sneered slightly: "I didn't expect to defeat you completely, but I am curious how much sacrifice your father can make for you?"

　　 Arslan's face changed suddenly--

　　 "Is it three hundred or five hundred, or more..." A fierce light flashed in Justinian's eyes, and Arslan suddenly realized that it was not good.

　　 "You are crazy-it's impossible, it's impossible with you." Arslan shook his head and tried to calm himself down and told himself that what Justinian said before was absolutely bluff.

But Justinian bends down, "What if I am a Greek fire? How much are you willing to pay to defeat me, and how will your remaining power deal with Theodore's revenge? What?"

　　Greek fire? !

　　 When Justinian uttered the word, Arslan was as cold as falling into an ice cave. If it were normal, he would still think that Justinian was playing mystery, but when he saw the young man's confident appearance, Arslan was also shaken.

　　 Maybe... it will...

　　 The face of this young Turkic man finally showed an expression of horror and disbelief.

　　 "You lunatic..."

　　 At this moment, on the sea, the Genoese had already returned to the boat, watching everything that happened on the coast.

　　 "My Lord Christopher?" Bentik knocked on the door and told something.

　　 "What's the matter?" Christopher asked, looking up at the other person, but he had almost guessed that what Bantyk was about to tell him was what happened above Ilovan Fort.

　　 "Those Greeks wiped out a group of Turkic people..." When Bantic said the news, he himself couldn't believe it, so some people even dared to go out of the city to fight, whether it was bold or crazy!

　　 "It seems that the effect of the new crossbow designed by Freir is still very good." Christopher nodded slightly and was not particularly surprised. Genoese people have been preparing for war for a long time, and those crossbows were just made and equipped not long ago. Christopher was also a little surprised that Justinian was so knowledgeable, and it happened that he could take this opportunity to try his power. Sure enough, he didn't disappoint...

　　 "Then Mr. Christopher, we should now—" Bantik, who was hesitant to speak, asked again tentatively. After all, this place was completely destroyed, and Genoa had lost the trade transit station that was sorely needed now.

　　 But Christopher raised his head and glanced at Bantic with his only eye, making Bantic Ye a bit scared subconsciously.

　　 "Watch the changes."

　　 Christopher only said that word, and Bantik did not dare to say more. After all, the treaty between them and Justinian was not formally signed, and there was no obligation, and since this man had already made this decision, no one could change his decision. In desperation, Bantik had to leave Christopher's room.

　　 On the other side, the Turkic army finally arrived at Ilovan Fort. Thousands of heavily armed Turks were ready, waiting for Murad's cry.

　　 "Is it here?" Murad asked coldly, looking at the low walls of Ilovan Fort.

　　 "It should be here. What should we do now? Should we prepare for an offensive." The Turks month after month, although the striker was attacked, most people still did not take the Greek army here in their eyes.

　　 But now, Murad no longer has the slightest contempt for the defenders here.

　　 "Give me quiet!"

　　 The majestic voice of the man quickly suppressed the noise in the Turkic army, and no one dared to challenge Murad's authority. Murad is also staring at the castle in front of him. Obviously, this is completely different from the previous estimate. It can be seen that the city walls have been strengthened, and trenches have been dug out to set up Juma's special use to resist his subordinates. cavalry. I have to say that the commander here is very good.

　　 Now Murad also understands why his son would suffer ~www.ltnovel.com~ I didn't expect this kind of people to be in such a poor country.

　　啧—it's troublesome.

　　 Murad frowned. It is of course easy to overcome this place, but it will inevitably lead to heavy casualties, just like a hard walnut bite easily, but the other party will break a tooth anyway.

　　 It is undoubtedly a loss not worth it to attack this castle...

　　 "Look!" At this moment, someone among the Turkic people was discovering something, and pointed to the wall of Ilovan Fort and exclaimed.

　　 Following the prestige, I saw the already prepared Epirus warriors holding bows and arrows from behind the female wall and aiming at the aggressive Turkic people, not timid at all. But the Romans did not immediately attack, but erected a flag on the wall.

　　 is not a white flag of surrender, but a blue vertical banner that accepts negotiations, waving it for the Turkic people below. And watching this scene, Murad's look became very ugly.

"Huh, it is actually accepting negotiations, not making them, and want to hold the initiative in your own hands." Murad was also angry, but one thing is undoubted, that is, even though his power is stronger , But had to be suppressed by the owner of this castle, he could only choose to negotiate, and the other side stood firm and cleared the country. Even if he carried out meaningless destruction, he would still help them. Instead, he would make Agrignon's attention vigilant.

　　 "Master Murad, what shall we do?" Although the Turkic people who looked at each other had the intention to fight, they could only wait for their leader's orders.

Finally, even though he was very unwilling, Murad made a decision and said to the banner officer beside him: "Tell them that I am willing to make negotiations and ask them to let go of the captives." After thinking about the pros and cons, he said. The man knew that only such a choice was wise.
