Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 19: Cross-examination

There are only a few people, are you sure? "Justinian looked at the captive bandit leader and confirmed again. If the other party dares to play any tricks, he doesn't mind letting the other party enjoy the process just now.

I saw that the soldier beside Justinian was filling an excessive amount of gunpowder into the fire tube in his hand, and the taste of the thing being ignited on the skin of a person made Skardnon even go to **** ten times. He didn't want to endure it again, especially when he saw one of his subordinates with skin and flesh.

The frightened bandit quickly confided: "Also... there are several Croatian pirate groups who have also joined in and wanted to get a share of the pie. I really don't know anything except these. I really have All I can know!"

The bitter bandit leader still had the deep and treacherous appearance at this time, obviously completely shocked, and this was the effect Justinian needed.

Looking at the men next to him, Justinian ordered: "Your Excellency Salius, I need you to take all the cavalry under your command to raid them one by one according to the location he explained just now. Exterminate all of them without leaving them."

"Yes, my lord." Salius agreed without hesitation when he got the order, and even after he stepped on his horse, the riders under his command lined up and got ready to go. Now that we have the exact position, everything below is easy to handle.

Justinian looked towards the north coldly, and at this time he had made a decision. Obviously, it was Romanus Dukas who had planned all this and fled from the city of Athens. When Skadenon spoke of the image of the haughty and mean noble man, he could immediately confirm this.

But relying on how these mobs could actually threaten himself, Justinian immediately guessed the real purpose of the other party-he was delaying time.

As for the ultimate goal of delaying time, although Justinian could not be sure, he knew that he would return to Thessaloniki one step later, and Thessaloniki and everyone in the city would be more threatened. He is not in the mood to wait for these ignorant thieves to come to the door, since that is the case, it is better to hit their lair and get it right once and for all.

"After you set off, I will order the army to march at full speed. There is no problem with you, Salius!" Justinian asked, but the tone was more like an order than an inquiry.

And Salius did not hesitate at all, raised the lance in his hand, and accepted the task, "Don't worry, Your Highness." Although he was bought by the surrendered bandit along the way and attempted to attack Moria's army. There are hundreds of people, but in his eyes it is not worth mentioning. The five-man cavalry can cross the wilderness, and one longitudinal gear is enough to defeat a team of skirmishers. When the hanging lance is directed towards, even the strong city will have to surrender, and the running iron hoof is witnessed by the rider on the battlefield. The entire Thessaly wasteland What is about to usher in will be the land that is disturbed.

Thessaloniki is the most prosperous city in Macedonia. It has been the case since the city was built. It was the most important commercial hub for the Roman Empire. It had a large market for trade with the northern barbarians and an excellent harbor. , Except for the second jewel of the Constantinople Empire. But precisely because of this, Thessaloniki is coveted by all forces. The Saracens briefly captured this place and captured tens of thousands of young men and women. The Bolgar came to the city for several times. The Venetian and Norman navies also blocked it. Undoubtedly, in the eventful autumn, the city became the center of a dangerous vortex. .

Even the presence of Justinian’s forces has not changed this point. This island-like city is like a leaf floating in the storm of war at this moment. The threat does not only come from the outside. Internal conflicts threaten Thessaloniki at this time. The new army of Moriah only holds a part of the power. Because of Justinian’s departure, Baptiste’s identity is sensitive. Now here is actually The ruler is the aristocratic council, although their power is not as good as in the past.

They are the hereditary aristocracy of Thessaloniki, and the most prominent people in Macedonia. Even Boniface had to cooperate with them even when Boniface became the master here.

In the eyes of the nobles, what they have is the power of the entire city, and the so-called municipal officials are just their agents. At least they thought so at first, but after they had dealt with rough men like Moria, they immediately felt what it was like to complain.

The new army of Moria accepted the former Latins' beloved estate without giving them any face, and the nobles of Thessaloniki did not even drank a bite of soup.

Later, after the obnoxious Latin became a municipal official, a series of restrictive laws completely restricted their power and made these nobles regard him as a thorn in their eyes. But they couldn't help him. They tried to contact the nobles outside to initiate a riot, but they were resolved by this shrewd Latin man. Instead, they fell severely. They should be ransacked and ransomed. Redemption can only swallow. Although there are nobles who want to openly tear their skins~www.ltnovel.com~, when one thing happened, these domineering nobles were made to throw their teeth.

This incident was the appearance of Princess Odosia, the third emperor of the empire, in Thessaloniki. Although the blind emperor of Muzfeus who was confined in the monastery had no real power, the nobles knew that she was a banner representing the legitimacy of the Angelus dynasty. On this basis, these nobles dare not dare. act rashly.

But this does not mean that these nobles are really completely afraid of the identity of the imperial emperor in Odosia. When their interests are touched, these contradictory people will immediately become monolithic with each other.

This time, things that the nobles could not bear finally broke out, and the root of all this was the large number of refugee problems caused by Odosia's request. At this moment, a large number of disaster victims poured into the city, making the nobles feel more pressured. Some wealthy people tried to hoard food, but they were immediately told that anyone could only buy the rations they needed for the day. To be ruined by the rough hillbilly, at their request, Queen Odosia, a purple-clothed nobleman, went to the so-called aristocratic council. And when the emperor's carriage slowly stopped in front of the destination, Odosia looked at the building in front of her and found that this was not an official residence, but a private villa of a nobleman.
