Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Eagle Flag of Epirus (

As soldiers approached Larissa, Justinian led the soldiers and horses of the princes to stop on the south bank of the Pinios River, cutting off the city’s connection with Sesalian, and then Justinian ordered Salius to lead. A cavalry was stationed on the plain outside the Pindus Pass. Just as he defeated the Gavras family’s rebels here a few months ago, Justinian, who was well-deployed, also carefully arranged a reserve team to prevent an unlikely attack. The Merinoson family is now in In Larissa, it is already hard to escape.

But Justinian was not in a hurry to do it. First, it would be better if you could defeat the soldiers without fighting in this battle. Second, because many of the troops behind him were the newly-attached Nobles of Thessaly. If they attack the city forcibly, these people will be unreliable, but they will be disastrous.

What Justinian needed to do now was to take the lead, so he ordered the soldiers to launch the leather cannon that was built overnight. In the Peloponnese before, this weapon helped him successfully eliminate the remnants of the Latin power and the unpredictable Pizzas. Unfortunately, it was not used too many times and it exploded. In addition, the gunpowder ran out, so he settled Agrini Weng did not come in handy during the rebellion. But now it’s different. After ordering the craftsmen of Agrinion to rush to make the shape, Justinian sent people to the settlement in the valley before the Albanians. Because of the promise, Bogdani and other mountain people They have all moved to a town with lush vegetation on the shore of the lake in the southeast of Agrinion. The valley is already empty, so they smoothly excavated the nitrate and sulfur from under the hot spring.

With gunpowder, in front of the leather cannon, Larissa's old city wall is like a thin piece of paper.

Behind them, the other Agrignon and Thessaly nobles all looked at this scene very curiously. They didn’t even know what the big guy that Justinian ordered the soldiers to push out was. They only felt very curious. weird.

"What is this?" The curious Irina Dukas looked at her husband and couldn't help asking. As the heir cultivated by Prince Theodore, although she was young, she had seen some things in the world and could guess this. What kind of weapon, but can't guess the principle.

Justinian pretended to be mysterious and said in Irina's ear: "You will know in a moment!"

After speaking, Moria’s little fox motioned to the soldiers in front of him to prepare for the fire, and before that, he tenderly grabbed his new wife’s hand to help her cover her ears, and whispered:

"The movement will be a bit big, so be mentally prepared."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a blast from the sky and the earth. After the fuze was ignited, red flames ejected from the muzzle, and then a stone bullet in the barrel flew out at an astonishing rate of fire. The huge recoil caused the carriage of the leather cannon to collapse completely, and the cannon body sank heavily into the ground. As for such a huge battle, the nobles hadn't thought of it beforehand that the crotch was so frightened that the horse almost lost control and threw them down, and there were even people who were frightened by the loud noise and fell off the horse.

What is this? ! The horrified nobles looked at Justinian and his new weapons like gods, because what happened before them completely shocked them.

It wasn't just the shocking momentum. When the nobles came back to their senses, they discovered that there was a huge gap in the wall of Larissa, which was caused by the stone bullet that was launched.

It turns out that the "walls of Babylon that can penetrate the walls of Babylon" described in Anna Komunen's history books really exist, but they are not the lances of the Latins. The nobles who were still on the sidelines looked at Justinian in awe. It turned out that he was really good at attacking Clarissa. Now the crowd who still hold illusions about the Merinoson family dare not have any ambitions. .

Irina, who was also terrified by everything that happened before her eyes, would almost fall off her horse if she hadn’t been cuddling with her husband. Even though she covered her ears in advance, it was the first time I saw this kind of scene. Cass still felt a little bit sore in his body.

Justinian smiled and comforted Irina, and then said to the nobles behind him: "I think this kind of movement, Earl Merinoson in the city should be able to feel my gift, I believe he can make another choice. I hope he won’t be obsessed with it. Excuse me, who in the field wants to enter the city and say surrender?

The nobles stared at each other, and did not expect Justinian to change his mind at this time, but such a temporary change of mind was simply a good thing for them, so they all agreed and were willing to send someone to negotiate.

But when everyone volunteered, Justinian's hand was suddenly held by the people next to him, and the black eyes were looking at him again.

"Leave me the matter of persuading Your Excellency Merinoson!" Irina Dukas said to her husband seriously~www.ltnovel.com~ As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, Irina actually chose When he stood up, the nobles quickly expressed their opposition.

"This is too dangerous, how can the body of your Highness go there in person." As the monarch in the name of Agrinion, Irina is still Justinian's wife. The nobles are not willing to make jokes about her, once there is something wrong. , The consequences would be disastrous, maybe someone will be buried there.

But Justinian did not immediately express his position. He hesitated about the request of his new wife before him. As the daughter of Prince Theodore, Irina was indeed the best candidate, but now she is his wife. Nor was it 100% sure that the Merinoson family in the city was willing to subdue, and it was indeed too dangerous to let her go in person.

However, those eyes staring at her were decisive. Irina said: "This matter can only be foolproof if I go. Although I am your wife, I am still Agrinion and Thessaly. Master, has the obligation and power to persuade him to fulfill his vows. You should trust your wife, Lord Justinian."

Seeing that there was no stubborn stubbornness in his wife's eyes, Justinian smiled helplessly, and agreed to his wife's wayward request, and then ordered the guards around him to **** Irina to Larissa. Negotiate with Earl Merinoson.

When received, the slightly disguised Irina finally took off her hood in front of the Earl of Merinoson and the nobles, revealing her true face.

No longer a childish girl, Irina said neither humble nor arrogant: "It's been a long time, have you ever been well, Uncle Merinoson. I think the vows you made to me when I was here that day should definitely be Haven't forgotten it yet!"
