Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Eagle Flag of Epirus (

In the winter of 1208, the cold came to the end of the year. When Justinian, who had ended the Battle of Pindus Pass and completed the rest of the army, arrived in Agrinon, the fortified battle had reached the most intense stage.

There was a loud, earth-shattering noise and a tumbling dust wave. Such a huge movement made people almost think that from time to time earthquakes: the original siege tower that attacked the walls of Agrinon was hit by the trebuchet on the walls, and the broken skeleton finally Unable to bear the weight of the load, Hu Lala completely collapsed, pitiful hundreds of soldiers among them were killed and wounded countless. The people who fell to death have no count. What's more deadly is that they are very close to the walls of Agrinion. The soldiers of Thessaly who have lost their cover are completely exposed to the bows and arrows of the rebels on the city, and suddenly they will be like a rain of locust arrows. The survivors shot into a sieve.

It seemed that Agrinion was stronger than expected. Justinian thought to himself that Theodore's business here over the years really took a lot of effort.

"Brother!" Irina, who was riding a horse, looked at Agrinion's appearance that she couldn't recognize her being devastated by the war, and she felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart. She finally waited for this day, which also meant that she and her blood-connected brother would meet again.

Looking at the fascinated girl, Brother Sergius whispered from the side: "Don't forget the words your mother said to you before leaving, Your Highness!"

Speaking of this, the words of the mad monk penetrated into Irina Dukas's heart like a poisonous snake, making her feel heartbroken, and various scenes of **** sanctuary and slum slaughter resurfaced again. In front of me. At this moment, the girl's weak eyes became stronger and colder.

"I have come to see you, Romanus, my brother!"

...

Looking at the battlefield full of gunpowder, Justinian ordered the new army of Moria and the Albanians behind him to temporarily rest in place. Because not far away, Justinian saw the nobles of Thessaly coming to greet him.

"His Royal Highness Justinian!"

The nobles looked at the arrival of the young people, and their attitude was undoubtedly too much more submissive than before in Larissa, and even a little flattering, so that these nobles seemed to regard Iraq as the successor of the prince after Justinian. Linna Dukas assumed it was transparent.

But Justinian did not accept such a grand reception from the other party. He slid his horse and turned away and said indifferently: "You are not my vassals yet, you should go to see His Royal Highness Irina first."

"Uh, what you said!" The embarrassed Thessaly nobles quickly got up and turned to Irina Dukas, who was watching them on the other side, stepped forward to greet her.

"You don't have to be so polite, my father's vassals, I haven't officially succeeded, and I'm not your real title prince." Irina responded decently, dissolving the scene that was not beautiful just now.

The grateful nobles stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that Agrignon’s recovery is just today. In a few days of **** battles, the rebels in the city have reached the end of the war. When the rebellion is cleared, Your Highness can be there. The temple is here to go, and then the father can also smile underground.” This is not a lie, this time the aristocratic army of Thessaly has given it all. All the trees outside the city of Agrinon have been cut down and built into a large number of trees. Aerial ladders and engineering vehicles, as well as catapults and ballistas aimed at the rebel city defenses, fired artillery shells into the city day and night, consuming a lot of beef tendon and isinglass. It was only a matter of time before Agrinon's defense was broken.

"Everyone is interested." Irina nodded. The girl didn't say anything but looked at the city that she could not recognize from a distance-the city of Agrinion, which is at the final juncture of the resolute battle, enemy and me. The fierce fighting between the two sides has also reached a fierce stage.

"Charge!" As a section of the city wall that was unbearable under the continuous destruction of trebuchets and ballistas collapsed first, it was like a shark Thesali soldier who smelled blood rushed on it like crazy. I saw the soldiers swaying their swords and shields, moving forward and then forcibly stepping out of a path on the collapsed section of the city wall, swarming up to break through the city of Agrinion-at this time the resistance of the rebels inside was declining. There were not many Greeks who firmly supported Romanus, and they suffered heavy losses in the previous field battle. If it were not for the secret help of Genoese merchants, they would have long been unable to resist it. The only people who are still in the **** battle in the city are some Kuman soldiers who have committed countless crimes and know they have nowhere to go. But now they still have the prestige that they had when they slaughtered the people in the slums. When they saw the king's master enter the city, the Agrinon civilians hiding at home also joined in, and soon a small number of Kumans were swept away like a tide. The crowd was overwhelmed. When swords and spears pierced their bodies, the Kumans also tasted the bitter fruit they had planted. The wailing of the nomads was everywhere. It was a lucky thing to be killed by the Thessaly soldiers. ltnovel.com~ The most terrible thing falls into the hands of the people who hate them, so they will be crushed to pieces.

When a section of Agrinon’s walls collapsed, the entire city’s rebel defenses quickly fell apart. Leading the remnants to continue to retreat to Prince Theodor's palace in the city, Romanus, who personally led the team, fiercely held a sword and beheaded the citizens who tried to rush into it. He kicked the dead body and used cruel methods to make the ordinary people who were still trying to attack here to retreat.

In an attempt to build the last line of defense here, the unwilling Romanus ordered the few soldiers around him to arrange roadblocks on all roads leading to the Prince's residence.

But this is actually meaningless. When Romanus knew what was happening on the front line three days ago, his own teacher, the despicable Saracen man, had quietly left Agrinion with the Genoese caravan. Only then did Romanus know that he was completely used by Muswar and turned into an abandoned son.

Looking at the stunned soldiers, the masked Romanus let out a heartbreaking roar, which made them work again. If it weren't for the observing mask, Romanus's men might have seen how hideous the face of this already crazy His Royal Highness.

The shouting and killing outside was a little calm at this time, but it was not the miracle that Romanus Dukas had hoped for, but the battle outside the Prince's mansion was almost over.

The armies of the Thessaly nobles began to march from multiple directions, and there were no obstacles along the way. The victorious division was welcomed by the people in the city. With flags, they entered from the city gate. Except for the Prince's residence, all areas outside Agrinon were restored by crusades, and important buildings were changed. At this moment, Romanus really felt what it meant to be rebellious.
