Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 3 Chapter 40: Seize Power and Change the Banner (Part 1)

  Valarian's vision gradually blurred, and in his last consciousness, the last Achaean knight was stabbed off the horse by a Turkic man. And he finally accepted this time, the reinforcements of Mysohori were wiped out.

   But the ambush between Mysohori and Karamai was only the beginning. The Latin reinforcements of several other fortresses were also attacked by Turkic cavalry in a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, and the whole army was disintegrated and destroyed. The army among them is dominated by infantry, and most of the knights have been conscripted northward. When they faced the Turkic charge, they were simply vulnerable. This is Justinian's plan. It is simple to fight for aid. If in normal times, the Achaean army would definitely not be so careless, but at this time the Latins would never think of it. They simply thought it was the harassment of the resistance army in the southern hills, and since the Achaia state defeated the Byzantine army, they were filled with contempt and contempt for the Byzantine combat power. Therefore, when they learned that Karamai was under siege, the first thing they thought of was to assemble an army to fight off the invaders. However, Justinian’s goal is not Karamai at all, but them. It will undoubtedly waste a lot of time if these Latin strongholds are removed one by one, but it will delay the main Latins in Tripolis and cause unnecessary trouble. But now everything is solved.

The officers of the Achaian army who were deliberately captured were not directly killed. The Turks captured them and offered a bargain. As a price to let them live, these Latin nobles deceived them with Turkic troops disguised as Latins at night. After passing the city gate, Mysokhori, Sparta, and Kroni all fell in this way. For a while, Karamai's people did not realize that they were already surrounded by groups.

   At the same time, the Turkic cavalry also quickly operated, attacking the settlements of the Latins everywhere, which Justinian allowed them to do, and it was also a reward for these mercenaries. The Latins have always been proud of the strong defenses of their castles, but when their main force has been lost, even the tall walls are no longer helpful. Seeing that they are surrounded by fierce pagan nomads At that time, the Latins were so scared that they couldn't help themselves-the only Latins left in the city surrendered and their property was confiscated. With the collapse of the Latin military power, the Justinian army successfully attacked the city and plundered the land. I believe that it will mobilize the resistance of other Byzantines, and it will only be a matter of time to regain most of the southern Peloponnese. And this news Not only spread to the Latins, but also spread to the Byzantine army besieging Karamai.

   And Zeodose, who got the news at this time, came to his senses belatedly in Fallon. He never expected Justinian to order him to besiege Karamai as a cover, in fact, he had another purpose. The Latins who cleared the three castles in just two days, such a huge battle result is enough to establish Justinian's prestige, and this is exactly what Zeodoro Cephalon did not want to see.

"Is this his plan? Damn it, too careless." The man looking at the map slammed his fist on the table in front of him. Zeodo Cephalon hadn't expected this at all, and he was kind of now. I regretted why I followed Moswar's advice at the time, and boldly attacked Karamai negatively. This is undoubtedly a way to give someone a handle.

"What should I do now, Muswar? You said that nothing accidents will happen." Zeodore Cephalon asked angrily. He completely shifted the blame to the Saracens in front of them. They wanted To make this defeat make Justinian lose the prestige in the army and take the opportunity to change the flag, but Justinian won such a victory, not only won the prestige in the army, if this fledgling kid really opens the situation, then Maybe the Earl of Theodor will really entrust him with the important task. However, he wasted a lot of time in the siege of Karamai and caused unnecessary casualties. I am afraid there is nothing worse than anything now.

But the Saracens in front of him didn't seem to be so nervous. On the contrary, he looked at Zeodoro Cephalon's mouth with a hint of sarcasm, and said indifferently: "Is there any fuss, even if you are still there? Are you worried that Justinian dare to take this opportunity to target you? It's just that he won by a fluke, and it's not too late for us to attack the city."

   Indeed, there are thousands of people besieging Karamai City. As long as they conquer this castle, open the channel connecting them to Tena Dragon Cape, plus the credit for obtaining the granary here, Justinian can't ask the blame. Zeodore Cephalon then remembered that this was indeed a good idea~www.readwn.com~ Without further ado, something unexpected happened when he was about to give the order.

   Just as the two were discussing, outside the military account, a messenger hurried over and said: "General, Lord Justinian is outside the barracks, please go and see him!"

what? So fast!

   The expressions of Zeodoro Cephalon and Musvale suddenly changed. Neither of them expected Justinian to arrive so soon, and it was obvious that the other party must be a bad person this time.

At this moment, outside of Zeodosefalon’s barracks, Justinian also waited for a long time. After receiving the news that Arslan had successfully taken the three fortresses, he took Leo and Nieus with him. Before Ji and dozens of guard cavalry came to Zeodoro Cefalon’s barracks, these cavalry were the elite of Justinian himself. Among them were Byzantines and Norman mercenaries, so they wore both. Chain armor, there are also Eastern style armors, seemingly chaotically equipped weapons, but they are the elite of the elite, except that they are veterans of the war, and the generous treatment given to them by Justinian also makes them absolutely loyal.

   Riding on a dazzling outfitted horse, the guard cavalry armed with lances in a solemn arrangement, although the number is small, is no less than any elite army in terms of momentum.

   At this time, Zeodo Cephalon walked out of the barracks. Although he was very dissatisfied, he knew that he had to meet the titular officer.

   "Master Justinian, why are you here?" Zeodore Cephalon looked at the young man in front of him with a somewhat ugly expression.

In front of him, Justinian, who was riding a horse, calmly looked at the other's abominable face, and replied blankly: "It's nothing, don't I even have this right as a commander? Lord Long?"
