Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 2 Chapter 45: Gold mine

   "Fight with them!" Wolf let out a desperate roar, and could only kill with the last of his men. He knew that the other party would not even give him a chance to surrender.

   But these Croats, who have completely lost their fighting spirit, can't do anything. They can only choose death.

The Turkic people who entered the city never encountered any effective resistance. The Croatian pirates had already dispersed and the residents of the town were wailing, but even though they offered their belongings, they could not stop the other’s butcher, even if they were willing to become The same goes for slaves.

   Turkic mercenaries only obey the orders of their employers-slaughter this place, leaving no one behind.

In this scene, Nevsky the Varangian can't stand it anymore. He can't understand why the teenager beside him should do it. He is not softhearted or sympathetic, but it is not an honor to be a soldier to slaughter civilians. What's more, those Croatians had clearly chosen to surrender, but Justinian did not accept it at all.

   "Are you doing this a bit—"

   "Is it a bit inhumane, do you want to say that?" Justinian asked Neusky with a cold look.

"They have surrendered, there is no need to do this! What's more, there are some civilians in there who are not pirates at all!" There is nothing wrong with taking a castle or looting a town, but unless it is against a heretic, the massacre is relatively rarely used, but It seems that Justinian is determined to carry out the killing to the end, but in Nevsky's opinion, this is not necessary at all.

"Doesn't it mean that they are innocent if it is not a pirate? This whole town was built on top of a lot of corpses. When the avalanche happened, no snowflake was innocent." Justinian calmly watched the Turkic massacre. The hearts of these Croats are like a rock, but in fact, he is not just for pure revenge, he does not like unnecessary killings but in fact it is a deterrent. There are too many pirate dens in the dotted bay, just for the end. Losing a few strongholds is completely unable to contain the arrogant Croats, so he decided to use this cruel slaughter to deter these pirates.

   Let these Croats know that if they dare to be a Venetian eagle dog and have any harassment against Rome, it will only end in destruction.

Seeing Justinian’s reply, although Nevsky couldn’t bear it, he couldn’t continue to refute anything, because he knew that every time the pirates looted from the sea, they became a dividend for the residents of the entire town, but the Turks The rude behavior really made him very dissatisfied. He wondered why this man who claimed to be the messenger of His Majesty Muzfius had all these barbaric heretics under his hands.

At the same time, the resistance of the Croats also came to an end. When the last pirate was shot by a Turkic bow and arrow, the entire town was plunged into a sea of ​​flames, and the loot piled up in the square to make everyone laugh. The Turkic mercenaries have not finished a battle so smoothly for a long time.

   At this moment, a Turkic cavalry suddenly rushed over on a horse, as if he had discovered something!

   "Master Murad, we have found a mine! It is full of Romans who were taken as slaves by pirates!"

  Although Justinian issued a slaughter order before, after discovering the mine, the cavalry found that most of them were villagers captured by the pirates who had attacked the village. He decided to come back and ask for instructions.

   And hearing this news, Justinian immediately remembered that the villagers in the village of Ilovan Fort had said that many males were taken away by pirates, so most of the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. This really made him surprised and happy. He originally thought that the villagers were taken to the slave market and sold out in all likelihood after being captured, but now there may be hope of finding them.

   But Bantik and Murad were more concerned about what the Turkic warrior called "mines", there are still mines!

   "Take us to see now." Bantique immediately sensed the breath of money keenly, which is simply the innate talent of Genoese.

  ……

When Justinian and others came to the hidden mine, they were not shocked. They never thought that there would be a gold mine in this pirate stronghold. Although it is not small, it was not fully mined. His slaves were already skinny and obviously suffering from inhuman torture.

   "These Croats have found a gold mine. It's a violent thing. They don't even have the ability to mine here." Bantik said disdainfully.

"It's not that they are incapable, but they dare not. I'm afraid those Croatians don't dare to mine on a large scale. If they are discovered by the Venetians, they will be set on fire~www.ltnovel.com~Justinian took a little look and guessed. When it comes to the reason, I am afraid that the pirates themselves are in a dilemma, as if children are walking in the busy city with gold in their hands. Without sufficient power to obtain such a large wealth, it is a dead end.

   "I don't think you know this place, do you?" Justinian looked at Nevsky and asked. Judging from the previous situation, the Croatians did not trust the Varangi.

  Neusky shook his head. He has only been here for a few months, and this is the first time he knows of such a place.

   "Then how to deal with this, a whole mine can't be taken away." Murad was also heartbroken at this time, looking at the two and asking, after all, the appearance here was beyond the previous plan.

Justinian shrugged and said, "It is of no use to me. You can divide the gold! I just have to take these Romans back. By the way, there are also these pirate ships." It's not right. Gold is not interested, Justinian does not want to cause unnecessary troubles because of unnecessary greed.

The same goes for Bantic, "After all, it is the Venetian sphere of influence, and it is worthless to Genoa that cannot be mined. But I am curious how you discovered this West?" Bantic smelled curiously, and looked at this place. It’s really not easy to find the environment in.

   And the Turkic warrior replied with some embarrassment: "We found out when we hunted down the Croats, but those Croats disappeared after they fled here."

   "You mean someone has escaped from here?" Squinting his eyes, Murad shouted and asked, if someone really escaped, the secret here would have been leaked out.

   At this moment, the Turkic soldiers searching everywhere suddenly shouted, "My lord, here!"

   They found a secret road leading directly to the ground, and undoubtedly the Croatians just escaped from here.
