Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 40: Bear notoriety

"What?! They actually figured out this way, bastard!" On the head of Thessaloniki, the defenders looked down at the city in disbelief.

I saw hundreds of Macedonian farmers gathered in the city, looking far away like a huge grey torrent. The anger and the enthusiasm after getting the promise drove these people to blindly shake the crude weapons in their hands. They spontaneously crossed the moat to the city of Thessaloniki, shouting slogans to enter the city. From the beginning to the present, the defenders on the head of the city watched the other side rushing towards the city gate and tower, but they did nothing but warn them.

"Arrows! What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you fight back!" The nobleman Ioannis led his guards to arrive late, and looking at the inaction of the garrison, he was furious and ordered his men to open a bow and set an arrow. Aim at the crowds approaching the walls.

But before the noble guards stood by the wall, the silent guard soldiers directed their weapons at Ioannis and the others.

This is a mutiny! The frightened and angry nobleman was about to shout loudly at the group of soldiers who dared to commit crimes in front of him, and ordered his own guard to do it. A voice sounded in time to prevent a possible civil unrest.

"Stop it, everyone put down their weapons!" The Queen Odoshiya who hurried over to hear what happened under the city loudly stopped the two parties who were about to conflict, and accompanied by the Vadaritais and Turkic hires. Soldiers. Sacrifice like kanzaongyi.cc

"His Royal Highness!"

When they saw Odoxia coming, both parties who had been fighting back just now immediately put down their weapons, but Ioannis was still unwilling. While pointing at the soldiers guarding the city behind him, he sternly argued to the emperor in front of him: "His Royal Highness, this group of people not only neglected their duties, they even wanted to make a mutiny just now! Please allow me to take down these people who committed the crimes." The words made the tower that had calmed down a little bit more tension.

Of course, Odoshiya could not agree to Ioannis’ request. She looked at the soldiers who expected her to be fair, and did not directly express her position. Instead, she arranged for Turkic mercenaries and the Vadarutai garrison to replace them. post.

"You have worked hard too. Leave the matter to others for the time being, let's go back and fix it!" Feeling the disappointed eyes of these militiamen, Odoxia finally made this decision.

But the nobleman still said unwillingly: "These ungrateful guys, I have told your Highness a long time ago that they are absolutely unreliable."

As soon as this remark came out, behind the Empress Odoshiya, Arslan, the Turkic, retorted and said: "Unreliable? So where is the **** battle of the past few days, your Excellency?"

Ioanis, who was stabbed in the pain, was furious and yelled: "When did the Turkic barbarians dare to be so rude in front of us Romans? I don’t care if Duke Justinian disciplines you, you are under my hand. Yes, it will definitely be hung on the wall the next day to show the public. Didn’t you just see that those untouchables are almost going to mutiny? The next step is to sacrifice the whole Thessaloniki." Bxwx. Cobang

"Don't you have a bad look? You didn't see that there were just a group of hungry people under the tower. Why did you let the soldiers kill a group of innocent people!" Arslan sneered at the so-called "civilized nobleman" in front of him. We must know that most of the soldiers defending the city on the tower are militias composed of mountain people who originally fled in. They are helped by the Empress Odoxia and are willing to let go of the guardianship of the aristocracy. Thessaloniki has been precious, but now They raised their butcher knives to the group of people outside the city who faced the same encounter and different solutions, and the militiamen were naturally unwilling.

After hearing this, Ioannis snorted coldly, "Naturally, the hungry people who didn't come into the city, but let them in is a mob. The barbarians in these ravines are not as harmless as they seem. Bulgaria has made it clear that it wants to use them as cannon fodder! And this group of people on the tower are not grateful, so His Royal Highness should have thrown them outside to fend for themselves!"

"Enough, Ioannis, I already know what happened, you don't have to say it anymore." The emperor interrupted the nobleman, and the disappointment flashed in her eyes. She never thought of the man in front of her. There is no psychological burden to say such a thing, and I have never thought about where the refugees downstairs came from. If it weren’t for the great nobles headed by Ioannis, they insisted on standing on the walls and clearing the wild to collect the surplus food of the villagers and ignore them. Life and death, the outskirts of Macedonia can never be the terracotta scene now.

Odoxia understood that it was too late to make up for it, and his power to maintain the people in the city was already at the limit, but if the superiors didn't even have this empathy, the rule would never be long.

Outside the city wall, the sound of war drums sounded, and the cries of the hungry people were in harmony with it. They saw they raised the old farm tools in their hands and gathered towards the city wall. Some people even climbed up through the cracks in the uneven city bricks. .

"Look at the top of the city. The rotten traitors and pagans are stunned, kill them, and retake this city that belongs to the real Romans. St. Titus is on the top." Patriarch Eustaceus rode his horse. Holding the cross, bewitched behind the crowd.

At this time, the hungry people who were initially encumbered also turned from the original hesitation into anger, and concentrated their resentment against injustice to the Thessaloniki in front of them. At this time, they only needed one goal to vent-itself. They are living on the edge of the death line. Since His Majesty Mikhail and the Patriarch have given them a glimmer of hope, UU reading www.uukanshu. com was about to hold on to it.

"Set up the ladder, set up the ladder." In such a shout, several ladders with hooks were put on the top of the city by the hungry people. And the soldiers of the Bulgarian coalition of Epirus who were in the crowd were also ready to fight, waiting to take advantage of the momentum and take the city defense of Thessaloniki in the chaos.

"What should we do? Your Highness!" On the head of the city, the emperor who was waiting for everyone gave the final order. If the hungry people below were not prevented from climbing the tower, Thessaloniki would be in danger.

At this moment, a crisp bowstring sounded with "shoo-", and a feather arrow hit the chest of a hungry man below, and the arrow pierced through the heart, killing him on the spot.

I saw a sassy female warrior who had been standing on the city wall at some point, holding the crossbow that she had fired tightly in her hand, pushing the crossbow into another machine, and aiming again.

"Antonia!" The long pale yellow hair was braided and hung behind the female soldier. This scene caught Odoxia's eyes and made her subconsciously call out the other's name.

And Antonia calmly pulled the trigger and shot the second arrow like a machine. She looked at the lost emperor and said: "This kind of thing should be left to a Gentile like me to do it. I don't think this kind of resentment should be done by you. People go to carry them. Your Excellency Arslan, can you lend me a hand of your manpower?" The Genoese girl looked at the Turkic people aside.

Arslan had a clear expression on his face, and said, "Of course it's okay. Master Justinian told us that we will listen to you if he is not here." As he said, he took off the hunting bow that was behind him. The mercenaries under his command lined up beside the city wall, drawing bows and shooting arrows unscrupulously towards the bottom.
