Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 "Thank you for everything, then." Justinian nodded and waved to the tax collectors not far away.

　　 "Any instructions, Lord Justinian!"

　　 "Should my friend save all the expenses this time, and treat them well." Justinian got on his horse after speaking, and he must go back to deal with the important thing that happened today.

　　 "Yes, Your Excellency Justinian." Without negligence, several tax collectors nodded immediately.

　　 And Phillips who saw this scene was also overjoyed, and he couldn't help but regret why he didn't bring some more goods back this time. Thinking about the complete tax exemption, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and the businessmen on the side couldn't help but cast envious eyes.

　　 rode the horse Justinian directly back to the inner city of the castle, and at this time, Abdra and Leo, who had been ordered before, were already waiting.

　　 "Master Justinian. Today's matter..." The two people showed guilt expressions on their faces. After all, they could not stop Romanus when they came. If it weren't for Justinian's timely arrival, the consequences would be disastrous.

　　 "Well, you have done well today." Justinian didn't blame the two elders. After all, if Hendry didn't show up in time, he wouldn't know how to clean up.

　　 "It's just what you think about what happened today." Justinian wanted their advice, whether it was Romanus' provocation or Agrinon's invitation.

　　 "It seems that Lord Theodor of Agrinon has noticed us."

　　 "It's just weird why it keeps—"

　　 "Why didn't you move until now?" Justinian listened to the words of Abdra and Leo, he was the same, confused by Theodor's reaction.

　　 "Will you attend that banquet, Lord Justinian." Abdera was a little worried whether the other party would do it with bad intentions this time, after all, that Theodore is not a kind person.

　　 Justinian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it shouldn't be a feast..."

　　 "What kind of banquet?" Abdera couldn't understand what Justinian had just said.

"Oh... well, I mean there should be nothing wrong with going there." Justinian realized that he had made a slip of the tongue for a while, but since the other party had so formally invited over, it shouldn't be a trap, instead of going I'm afraid it will be left to Theodore to deal with his own words, so he should go there first and react accordingly.

"It would be great if Murad was here. That way, I can be a little prepared." It suddenly occurred to me that the leader of the Turkic mercenary had been following Theodore for several years. I believe he must understand Agrinion very well. The situation, but last month the man got the commission from Theodor to pay the bill and asked him to go to the southern battlefield to deal with the eager Principality of Athens, so he temporarily lost contact. In desperation, Justinian could only decide to take one step at a time, but Abudra and Leo still had concerns.

Looking at the two who were worried about him, Justinian patted them on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't be so easily calculated by the other party. No matter how bad the Earl Theodore is, I will sell a bit of Mutz. The face of His Majesty Fius."

　　 And just as the three people discussed and discussed, the bell came from the castle tower.

　　 Justinian slightly lifted his head and looked into the distance slightly in a daze, while Abudra and Leo on the side immediately closed their mouths and remained silent so that Justinian could clearly hear the bell ringing.

　　 "It's been twenty-third days, and it looks like it took so long to come back. Something really happened on the way."

　　 This is the bell for the return of the fleet, the bell that Justinian has been waiting for.

　　He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and Neusky, who was sent out by him to perform the task, was a full week later than expected. Almost everyone thought it was dead, and it must be gone forever.

　　 But this Varangian did not live up to Justinian's expectations, he succeeded in doing it.

　　 By the harbour, everyone in Ilovan Castle looked curiously at the strong men on the boat in front of them. This is a typical Nordic face, and the strong muscles are full of power. The Varangians, they did not live up to their Viking lineage, not only excellent land warriors, but also killing machines at sea.

Neusky and his Varangian guard recruited a group of Norman mercenaries as the backbone of Justinian. Today, Sicily is no longer a climate, but the strength of the Normans is still unquestioned, plus the original In the navy, Justinian’s new fleet has begun to take shape, although it relies on simple pirate ships, it is barely enough.

　　At this time, Justinian also appeared in the crowd, and the people immediately made way for their lord.

　　Looking at the Varangians walking down from the boat, Neusky was the leader. Justinian opened his arms as if he had seen an old friend.

　　 "Welcome back~www.ltnovel.com~Mr. Niewuski."

However, Neusky, with a cold face, directly pushed away Justinian in front of him and said: "I have done what you want me to do, and then it's your turn." Walking through the crowd, the attitude of this man was contrary to Justinian's attitude.

　　 "You—" And seeing this scene, looking at the rude Niewuski, Abudra and Leo were about to scold them but they were stopped by Justinian.

"Forget it, he's just such a temper." Justinian understood Neusky, and it was also an agreement between them. It almost dates back to the time at sea after dealing with the Croatian pirates a few months ago. The confrontation made Justinian have to tell the Varangians the truth. And when Nevsky learned that Muzfius had been placed under house arrest by Mikhail to the monastery, it was almost like a bull who wanted to rush into Rusnina. If it weren’t for Justinian’s stop, the other party would really have nothing. Do it out.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement that Justinian would do everything he could to rescue Muzfius, and he had to act within a year, and now it’s almost halfway through, so watch Chas What Dinny did every day was nothing more than visiting the countryside or gagging with Genoese merchants, and Neusky's dissatisfaction increased day by day. But this man did not tear up the agreement between them and Justinian. Basically every month, he would go to sea to hunt the Croatian pirates-because of the negotiations between Genoa and Venice, the Venetians eventually abandoned the Croatians.

　　 But it took so long this time that something must have happened. Justinian suddenly heard people's exclamation when he was about to catch up. On the ship, the crew members were carrying corpses off the ship one by one, and those were all former crew members.
