Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The Eagle Flag of Epirus (

In 1208, the Akarnani Rebellion that lasted for several months finally came to an end. When news of the defeat of the Epirus army in the north reached the ears of the Thessaly nobles, the princes suddenly discovered Justinian. It turned out that the so-called guard of honor was just a blindfold. No one thought that Moria’s little fox led an army of only a few thousand people to trek through the mountains and rivers and defeated Mikhail Duka at the Pindus Pass. An army of tens of thousands of people!

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness Justinian defeated the Rusni in the north."

"What? But that adult hasn't always been with His Highness Irina in the barracks."

"Hush! Didn't you notice any abnormality? His Royal Highness Justinian never showed up, and all orders were delivered by Ching Hendley. In fact, I heard from the nobles of the big families, Cha His Royal Highness Stinney actually led a squad lightly armed from the very beginning of Larissa's expedition, in order to deceive people and paralyze the rebels, and only then succeeded in the battle at Pingdus Pass."

"As expected to be Moria's little fox, this is more than just a fox, it's really the lion of my empire."

Such astonishing news quickly spread to and from the barracks. People were all wondering about the military might of Lord Justinian. The Thessaly had heard the rumors of the Peloponnese before, but they were finally heard. It is false, but this time, the facts before them make them have to respect Justinian himself. Perhaps the upper-class nobles would still give pointers on Justinian’s unknown origin, but the others in Thessaly have already committed themselves.

First, they wiped out the rebels of the Gavris family in Larissa, and then deployed a large-scale crusade against the Agrinion rebels. Counts of Bunonius and Tambe defeated Kuman who was attempting to sneak attack. People, Salius and Focas, two generals under Justinian’s command, successfully ambushed the Venetians who were trying to land in the Longneck Bay and forced them to join forces with the Agrinion rebels to fail. And now, it is heard that the army of tens of thousands of people sent by the tyrant Mikhail Dukas has also been killed by Justinian. The attitude of the people of Thessaly toward the young ruler has completely changed. Of course, the rumors about Justinian in the army that were originally volatile have completely disappeared. More is the heart of worship. The Thessaly, like the Peloponnesians, have long been in the hands of the dignitaries in Macedonia and Thrace for a long time with the great decline of the south. There have been rumors in the army that the Roman Empire will welcome an emperor from Greece.

Compared with the excitement of the lower class, the princes of Thessaly looked dull. Although they learned that the tens of thousands of troops sent by Mikhail Dukas were defeated, they did not have the greatest threat, but this also meant that they There is no bargaining power in front of Justinian.

Now, in the whole of Akanani, only the city of Agrinon in front of him is the final battlefield.

Hendry looked forward to Hue Sally from the Count of the Military District to the Count of Aguntoplay, waiting for their response. After a long time, the man finally spoke:

"Everyone, the two counts of Bunonius and Taranite on the southern front have joined forces with the knights led by Focas and Salius to block the port on the south bank of Agrinion, and are also trying to rebel. The Genoese merchants who delivered food and weapons by the army were also deported. Now I think you all have no objection to launching the general offensive, right?"

"Uh, your Excellency the Secretary-General, after all, the city of Agrinon is strong, and there are still many rebels in the city. The strong attack may not be beneficial to our army. Moreover, the people in the city may also be affected by the war." Several old nobles He stood up and played haha ​​as always, but this time the situation was completely different.

The rejected Secretary General Hendry was not impatient, but said lightly: "I believe you should have heard of the rumors today? That is not groundless, Lord Justinian couldn't help but beat the Epirus people. Kill the enemy commander, Nicholas Ovania."

"That's Mikhail's illegitimate son." The nobles whispered and were shocked. They all knew the name of Nicholas Ovania. He was the most beloved illegitimate son of Emperor Mikhail. He did not expect to die. Justinian's hands.

Glancing at the many nobles, Hendry looked at the reaction of the other side coldly. It was this time that these guys were still looking for excuses for rejection. The army that had already arrived in Agriñon to complete the siege for half a month, the noble armies who wrangled with each other have been reluctant to attack the rebels in the city, and the interface they gave was that the threats from the periphery should be cleared in advance. But Hendry knows that the other party is just unwilling to suffer losses. Since the death of Prince Theodor, semi-independent nobles have regarded the army as private property~www.ltnovel.com~ It is Tara who can be trusted. Nit and the Earl of Bunonius are just two. Others are all pregnant with ghosts, and more importantly, there is more or less the influence of the Earl Merinoson behind these people. Although he was left behind to sit in town, Hendry believed that he had a great deal with Chass. Denny’s hostility will inevitably be a hindrance.

But now it's different. The peaceful secretary no longer needs to urge the nobles to march like before.

He reminded the nobles of Thussari: "When Prince Theodor ordered me to visit Moria, I once saw Lord Justinian give land to meritorious soldiers, whether they were civilians. They are still nobles, and those traitors who are struggling with the Latins have been deprived of their fiefs without reservation. Maybe you still have prejudices, but don’t forget the attitude of His Highness Irina. Although His Highness Theodor is no longer there, you are still there. And this object of allegiance. If His Royal Highness Irina really marries Justinian, he will really have that power by then. Now, the choice before you is the same as that of the nobles of Moria, I I must tell you that after His Highness Justinian leads the army to the south, there are not many choices before you."

Hendryer said this sentence lightly and quietly watched the reaction of the Thessari in front of him. He was not alarmist, but just stating a fact.

Nobles, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other, the panic about the future finally overwhelmed the greedy and selfish side. I saw that the Thessaly nobles who had exchanged their eyes finally reached a consensus. They all said in unison:

"Please rest assured, Hendrell, we will start siege early tomorrow morning!"
