Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 2 Chapter 34: Employment (below)

   "What did you say?" Arslan was completely startled by what Justinian said. It was incredible that Justinian wanted to hire them.

"You heard it right. I hope to hire you. This is the only condition I put forward. The captives and the spoils can be returned to you. Of course, your commission will not be less." Justinian calmly Said, and beside him, the soldiers of Epirus were also taken aback, not understanding why Justinian made such a condition.

   But Arslan suddenly looked hard to look, "What are you kidding, you mean let us fight for you the next moment, who was the enemy just now, don't look down on people, Greeks!"

   Arslan, who was furious, stood up roaring and didn't care about aiming himself with a crossbow beside him, but he saw Justinian's face that he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Justinian glanced at him, stretched lazily, shook his fingers and said: "Your Excellency Arslan, I have no intention of joking. Now you are probably penniless and have to choose. Come and take captives in such a poor country as me!"

   His words completely pierced Arslan’s sore spot. Yes, the Turkic mercenaries are already financially difficult, otherwise they would not break with Theodor who has been employing them.

   But what can Justinian, the little lord of the back country, do? Arslan can't figure out where Justinian's intentions are. This is the most troublesome situation. Dealing with an enemy whose logic you don't know means being unable to predict the enemy's first, and it means being at a disadvantage everywhere. They are like this now, they are basically being led by the nose by the teenager in front of them.

"Huh, we are very expensive-you can't afford it at all." Arslan didn't think Justinian had paid the fee, and said contemptuously. This is not a lie. Turkic mercenaries are everywhere. They are in demand, not to mention their large numbers.

But Justinian was still very calm. “Of course I know this. The cost of a mercenary for a year is no more than 40 Su’s gold coins, and I only ask you to serve me for a period of time, so everyone I You can pay three Su's gold coins. I think this amount of money is enough to solve your urgent needs."

"Three Su's gold coins, that are 6000 Su's gold coins, you..." The dumbfounded Arslan was completely speechless. Indeed, three Su's gold coins per person is not a small number, but 6000 Su's gold coins can It's not a small sum. Even if this hairy boy sells the entire Ilovan Fortress, he shouldn't be able to get it out.

   But the point is that the look on Justinian's face at the moment does not seem to be joking at all.

"Believe it or not, but I think you should know that my identity shouldn't be so simple when you saw this thing before. I think you just need to tell Your Excellency Murad and ask him to make his own decision." said Justinian took out the ring that belonged to Muzfius.

   Seeing that ring, Arslan's heart couldn't help but shake slightly, perhaps Justinian said it was true.

And Justinian’s words made Arslan even more tempted, "Such a decision is the best for both of you and me. I am afraid that Theodore has not yet noticed your rebellious heart. If you are hired by me If you have a reason, you can avoid subsequent sanctions, so it is your choice whether you continue to stay or leave when the time comes. Is the 6000 Su gold coins enough for your travel expenses? The purpose of plundering here is to retaliate on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of his embarrassment. He expected that the other party would not be able to reject his proposal.

   "You kid... well, I'll go back and try it!" I couldn't see the boy in front of him at all, and Arslan had no choice but to nod his head. He couldn't decide on such important things alone.

   "I'm looking forward to it." Looking at Arslan's back, Justinian looked behind the screen and said, "Your Excellency Bantic, now you can come out."

   I saw Bantik, who had been secretly listening to the conversation between Justinian and the Turkic people, finally came out. Not long ago, the two sides finally signed a formal agreement. They are now official allies.

   "The 6000 Su gold coin, are you crazy? You won't count on me for this money!" Bantic couldn't see what was thinking in the head of the kid in front of him.

"At this point, Sir Bantik can rest assured, I have my own way, but I have other things to ask you." Justinian spread his hands and smiled, but there was a sneer in his heart. These Genoese people have been secretly in secret. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, if you took a wrong step, I am afraid that you will be crushed by now. Sure enough, just having Andrea's favor is far from enough. If you don't have enough power, you will be nothing.

   "As long as it is within my abilities." Bantik glanced at each other coldly. Now that the two sides have reached a cooperation, he also showed at least a little sincerity.

   On the other side, Arslan, who had returned to the Turkic army, told Justinian to Murad ~www.ltnovel.com~Su's gold coin, how could it be possible? "

  The shocked Turkic warriors felt that they had heard it wrong. In the past few months, they can say that there is no shadow of half of the copper plate, and they can only rely on savings and credit.

   Almost everyone does not believe that someone in such a poor country would be able to spend so much money.

   "Cheat!"

   "Master Murad, that kid is definitely playing tricks on us, don't be fooled!"

   But Murad was silent, and suddenly raised his hand to silence his subordinates. He looked at his son and asked, "Arslan, what do you think?"

"Father, we need money even if we leave here. The man said that he could pay off on the spot and release the prisoners." Alslan was also a little nervous and told Justinian what he said, but he himself couldn't believe the boy. Can pay this huge wealth.

   Everyone is waiting for Murad to make the final decision, and at this moment the man is indeed hesitating. This mercenary really needs money, they have almost run out of ammunition and food, but can he really believe that boy?

  After thinking for a long time, Murad finally made a decision. Although he was very unwilling, he was completely led by the nose, but now he has nowhere to go. "I can agree to that kid's terms, but he must pay us in full immediately, and a gold coin must be no less."

   "Master Murad?!" The surprised everyone couldn't help showing incredible gazes, Murad easily believed the other person. Even Arslan didn't expect that his father would accept the other party's condition in this way.

   "I have decided, you don't have to say it again, tell that kid my decision, Arslan."
