Eagle Flag of Epirus

Outside the city of Pebble Fort, all prepared troops can leave at any time, and General Terendez brings the defenders in the castle to see them off Justinian who are about to leave.

"My responsibility lies with me, and the only people left in Pebble Castle can't help much, Lord Justinian, may God's gospel protect you from victory." General Terendez blessed, and then again. He turned his gaze to the little Dmitry who was still talking.

"General..." Dmitry lowered his head in shame. The general in front of him was not so much punishment to help him. He still feels a little sorry.

But Terendez patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "There is nothing to be sorry for, Dmitry. I said that your years should be more worthy of entrustment, and I believe that with this Chashi Lord Tenny’s side is the best choice for you, calmly do what you think you should do!"

Speaking of which, the elderly general gave a hug to his subordinates who were about to be parted.

Terendez’s weather-beaten face showed infinite emotion. He knew that the enemies faced by Justinian and the army he led would be extremely difficult and dangerous in the first battle, but he could see these things in front of him. The young people are not timid, just as they were when they were young.

Should he be worried about it? Looking back on the way he was on the battlefield for the first time, Terendez had a lingering fear, but he quickly shook his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind. Standing in front of him was Moria’s little fox. Even in the frontier, he had heard the rumors of Peloponnese Justinian. Because of this, Terendez believed that this young man would not be serious. Follow the mistakes of their older generation.

"Everything is up to you."

Justinian also nodded, thanking the old general for his help, and said, "You and Pebble Castle have provided me with enough help. My men and I will remember forever. Yu Xin, please believe me, everyone at Pebble Castle, I will definitely live up to your trust."

"May the gospel always be with you. Little Dmitry and his men are familiar with the mountain roads in this area. I believe they can help you with their guidance. I also hope that your Excellency Justinian can help me take care of them one or two. "

General Terendez asked again out of selfishness, but Justinian also saw that the third team that the general valued did indeed have this value, and then nodded, "Don’t worry, this way. I have to rely on them to work together. They are naturally my colleagues. I will definitely love them, rely on life and death, and share honor and disgrace!"

After receiving such a guarantee, Terendez said nothing more. He believed that Justinian would do what he said. He immediately ordered the grand music to be played on the walls of the Pebble Fort, and the soldiers went to the battlefield to quell the rebellion. See you off.

With the veterans on the top of Pebble Fort chanting the chants of the Three Holy sacreds, Justinian swung his horse and pointed at the distant mountains, the soldiers who were already ready to go finally embarked on their journey.

At the same time, in the ravines of the Pindus Mountains, wherever it went was turned into a piece of scorched earth, all the villages that could be looted were burned to the torch by the Epirus army still heading towards Agrinion without stopping. Continue in the direction. Commanding them was His Royal Highness Nicholas, who was called the "tyrant" by the soldiers. Although he was a member of the illegitimate children of Emperor Mikhail, his status and status were indeed well-known dignity. Under his iron law, even General Valous, the nominal commander of this army, dared not speak.

Under the three-day high-intensity rush march, the army of tens of thousands of people was scattered throughout the mountain, and the soldiers with more than a thousand people were left behind and could not get a rest, but even so, His Highness Nicholas still did not intend to stop and rest. Except for the necessary rations, all the baggage was abandoned by Nicholas' orders. All the soldiers were fed from the local villages and towns along the way. The soldiers were numb to the act of burning, killing and looting. In their eyes, they are even the battle-tested Wallu. General Si did not dare to agree with the tyrannical highness's skill.

Valence finally couldn't help but had to say to Nicholas, who was in charge of everything: "His Royal Highness, we should rest for a while. The soldiers have not had a good rest for almost three days. If we continue like this, we will not wait for us to reach Agrinho. Weng, this rugged mountain will drag us all down."

But Nicholas didn't mean to compromise at all, and categorically refused: "Let me repeat it many more times, General Valous, no one is allowed to stop until we leave this mountain. There is no need for extras on the battlefield. Merciful, I will give the army time to rest when I arrive on the great plains of Agrinon."

"But if this continues, I am worried that the soldiers will be mutiny before they are dragged down. Please take a look. The soldiers on this road are already suffering, relying on looting the rough and unswallowable food from the villagers to satisfy their hunger, and even Have to slaughter the mules and horses in the team~www.ltnovel.com~ As the commander-in-chief of the army, you should not ignore the voices of the soldiers, let alone underestimate their strength. In the past few days, there have been soldiers leaving the team. There are even people who are plotting against you, Your Highness. This army is already like boiling water, and it will be defeated sooner or later if it blindly relies on force to suppress it." The bitter General Wallus still tried to let the man in front of you His Highness changed his mind.

But after hearing what Valous said, Nicholas sneered: "Against me, then who are they supporting? I don't think it will be you, General Valous."

"Your Highness, I am loyal to you and Your Majesty."

"Then use your own actions to prove all this." Nicholas said coldly, not caring about General Valous's astonished gaze: "If the order is passed on, all soldiers who try to leave the team will be severely punished. Anything found will be blinded. The eyes are exiled in the mountains. Since they don’t want to march, they can accompany the mountains and become food in the mouth of the wolves! Then tell others that everything along the way must be completely destroyed without leaving a single trace, so that those who dare to be deserters die With this heart, even if they leave the team, they can only starve to death in the mountains." He gave a cruel order, and did not treat his subordinates as Nicholas as a tool for him to invite favors. Relying on his identity as the emperor’s illegitimate child, he forcibly ordered the entire army to continue walking towards the depths of the mountain and embarking on an extremely cruel journey............
