Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 "Hello, Master Polyoctos." Justinian had to greet each other with a slightly awkward expression.

On the other side, the other nobles also cast strange glances at this young man, but no one came forward to speak up. After all, Justinian was just a small officer in charge of the military affairs of Ilovan Fort, although What he did was amazing, but after all, he was just a little nobleman.

　　 But the head of Agrinon seems to be very interested in Justinian.

"Oh, do you know me?" Master Polyoctos was also a little surprised. This was the first time the two met. He could recognize Justinian because of previous rumors and the age of the boy in front of him. But how could this young man recognize himself suddenly?

　　 "I attended your mass ceremonies before." Justinian explained that although he is one-sided, his memory is still very good.

　　 "So, there are often not many young people like you now." Master Polyoctos shook his head and said. In his memory, more women and children attended Mass.

　　 And just as the two were talking, the exclamation of all the people present attracted their ideas.

　　 "Look at it!"

　　 Justinian, who came back to his senses, saw that the armored war elephant in the iron cage was released, and the frightened behemoth ran rampant as soon as it came out.

　　 The people sitting in the venue also felt as if the sky was broken. The audience sitting in the civilian area at the front was terrified. They were afraid that the elephant would hit them and almost grab the door and flee.

　　 But at this moment, a man holding a long whip appeared. He stood in front of the giant elephant and waved the whip against the ground. And immediately after the maniac beast showed fear in his eyes, he was tremblingly forced to retreat into the corner by the man.

　　 "It's Saracen's animal trainer!"

　　People exclaimed in the audience that the ferocious beast that was still rampaging was surrendered in an instant, making everyone amazed.

But Justinian was not surprised at all. He had already guessed the reaction of the elephant when he looked at the elephant. The reason why he heard the whip is probably because the elephant was often whipping when he was young. The torment has already left a shadow in his heart, so this elephant will habitually curl up and become scared. But even if the audience knows it, I am afraid there will be no sympathy, because today this giant beast is likely to be the sacrifice of this carnival.

　　 I saw a man walking into the center of the racecourse with a polite smile on his face. He looked at Theodor who was sitting in the middle of the high platform, and the host who was signaled immediately bowed to the audience.

"Welcome everyone here, and I hope you all can receive Saint Valentine’s blessing. Today is an extraordinary day, because we can finally see the owner of this racecourse attending this grand event in person, and we have invited our earl Your lord Theodore delivers a speech for today's beast match!"

　　 After a while, people from up and down Agrinon focused their eyes on the man, and Theodor also slowly stood up and waved to the people in his territory, drew a burst of excitement and cheers.

　　 The inhabitants of Agrinon have always been grateful for the generosity of their lord, but at this time Theodor finally showed up in such a public occasion, making the entire racecourse boil.

　　 In the game venue, the gladiators participating in this game are also excited. They come from various places and are often of mercenary origin. After all, fighting beast shows have become popular in ancient times, but they are still rewarded with great rewards. Now, an earl of Agrinon is present in person, and they feel that it is very popular. glory.

"Happy Saint Valentine's Day, my people, welcome you here, and may God bless Agrinion forever and let the eagle flag never fall." Theodore responded to the audience on the stage, and Then he turned his gaze to the burly gladiators.

"Brave men of the empire, you are not only performing a performance, but also the prestige of growing the Roman Empire. I look forward to your performance today, but it is better for us to increase the lottery before this. Make the competition more pleasing to the eye."

　　 As soon as the man said this, the gladiators wearing iron masks stood together and became restless. They immediately understood what Theodor was saying.

　　 Immediately, a few servants walked in front of them holding a plate full of gold sand.

　　 "This is a gift for the winner. Whoever can surrender or kill this war elephant will receive these rewards." Theodor said, looking at these gladiators.

Seeing this generous reward, these gladiators couldn’t help but breathe hard in an instant. This money may not be earned in their entire lives, and as long as they can kill the beast, they can get the reward~www .ltnovel.com~In an instant, the fighting spirit arose in the eyes of these gladiators.

　　 But Theodore hasn't finished saying, "Don't worry, your opponent is not only it, but also him!"

The iron gate of the racecourse was slowly pushed open. Under everyone’s attention, a man dressed in Latin knights, brand-new heavy armor and barrel helmet with a Frankish-style shield and long sword in his hand, from There was no expression or demeanor at all from the outside, as if a spear was standing there upright, motionless. Seeing this scene, Justinian couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although the Byzantium today is indeed Latinized in terms of armaments, it is very rare to dress like this completely European knight.

　　 Is this Count Theodore's trump card? Everyone looked at the samurai with curious eyes, not knowing what they were going to do.

Looking at the western gladiator and the Latin warrior, Theodor nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Next, gladiators of the empire, use all of your abilities to kill that one. The behemoth offers victory for Agrinon, but you also have to fight against this warrior’s obstruction, he is like any of you, and also your competitor, but he has a special mission, that is, he Our goal is not only the elephant but also you. Now is the time to prove your strength!"

　　 Amazing words came from Theodore's mouth. People in the audience looked at their count with incredible eyes. No one thought that this man would give such a dangerous order.

The next moment, the gladiators in the venue had not yet reacted. Saracen’s animal trainer put away the whip in his hand, and the behemoth that had been hiding in the corner regained its madness. At the same time, the racetrack’s Several doors were also closed. This dangerous beast show has already begun.
