Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 3 Chapter 44: Not bloody

   "Lord Justinian, the Latin negotiator has come." The messenger outside the account came in, and at that moment the tension of the sword suddenly eased. Now that these Latins came to negotiate before sunset, they couldn't continue to insist on attacking Karamay, and at this moment Justinian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Even now, Justinian can’t guarantee that he can hold this army by relying on this banner. In case of mutiny, Arslan’s Turkic mercenaries have not come, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no difference.

   "Are they there now?" Justinian asked, he must resolve the matter here as soon as possible, in case the situation changes again.

   "Just before the battle, the opponent claimed to be the defending commander-in-chief Sir Baptiste. He wants you to meet you alone."

"Meet alone, he is the only one?" Justin Nie frowned slightly. This request was really rude. It was clear that the time had come, and the Latin was still so stubborn. He also began to doubt the sincerity of the other party's negotiation. Up.

The Byzantine officers on the side sneered even more, "Master Justinian, you have also seen the rude attitude of these Latins. It is better to destroy this place in order to emulate you." Eriksen said aggressively again. But what responded to him was Justinian's cold gaze that made this long-time battlefield veteran also subconsciously take a step back. At that moment, he felt the murderous aura of the young man!

   Eriksson was slightly surprised and quickly stopped, and Justinian also retracted his gaze immediately, and said indifferently: "Since they ask so, then there is nothing wrong with agreeing to them!"

   "Master Justinian, you can't--!" I didn't expect Justinian to really agree. The Byzantine officers were about to object, but Justinian had already walked out of the camp on his own.

Looking at Justinian’s back, these Byzantine soldiers could not help showing cold eyes. Since the establishment of the Plogna system, they have been military nobles with generals for generations. The Lonian soldiers, although they do not have a title, their status is definitely not low. In their eyes, Justinian is a nouveau riche at all, even if they have to bow their heads now.

   "Huh, this kid is so arrogant!"

   "General Faron will not let him go. He is just a little guy. Fortunately, his Majesty the Emperor and the Earl dare not put us in the eyes."

   "Sooner or later, I will show him some color!"

   "The key thing is how to deal with him now. Even General Faron has chosen to give in. What can we do with us!"

   "It's really hateful!"

   Angry words, these Byzantine officers can only lower their voices and whisper like a poisonous snake, because they know they dare not commit the crime publicly.

  ……

   On the other side, although Justinian did not hear the words of those proud soldiers, he knew it well. He was already mentally prepared for all this. One is because he did not have enough prestige, and the two are because of the turbulence of the dynasty since Andorex’s usurpation of the throne. When there was no legality during the period of the dynasty, Alexei III tried to win over the local nobles, especially The military aristocracy can be said to do their best to cater and give them the greatest benefit. Directly lead to the self-respect of the generals of the various military regions. The arrogance of the military aristocracy has reached the point where it cannot be added. Because of this, when the Crusaders besieged Constantinople, Byzantium was actually only available to the emperor's army.

   Thinking of this, Justinian couldn't help but shook his head and said in his heart: I really want to thank you, Your Majesty Alex III, you really left us a mess!

   At this moment, Justinian no longer cares about these issues that will be dealt with later, and the top priority now is to negotiate with the Latins in Karamai City. Between the Byzantine army and the castle, beyond the range of bow and arrow shooting, a negotiating table has been set up, and Sir Baptiste is waiting for Justinian's arrival.

   After a whole afternoon of intense negotiations, everyone in Karamai finally reached an agreement, that is, a conditional choice to surrender. At this time, Justinian slowly walked out of the army on a horse, and there was no entourage around him, which made Baptiste a sigh of relief. It seems that the other party is keeping his promise.

   I saw that there was still some distance, Justinian got off the horse, took his mount and walked in front of Baptiste.

   "Hello, Lord Justinian."

   "You are Sir Baptiste, the lord of this castle?" Justinian asked.

"I am Baptiste, but the lord here is Viscount Senna. I am only his deputy, who is responsible for guarding this place. Viscount Senna should still be in Corinth without knowing what's going on here." Baptiste lowered his posture to the truth. Replied.

And Justinian nodded and said: "Very well, then you should have made a decision. You came here very coincidentally. It was only a little bit that my men would use a sword to attack the city." Justinian's relaxed words seemed to be joking, but looking at the other party's ice-blue eyes, Baptiste knew what the other party was saying was true.

"Yes, we have been willing to surrender and offer this castle in exchange for your promise, are you really willing to let us go unconditionally?" This is the most critical for the Achaean army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ if the other party If you do not agree, it means that most people will become slaves. "You have to know that the Viscount has hundreds of knights. If he learns that his territory has been taken away, he will do everything possible to come back and claim it. And if you can't forgive us If you do, we can only resist desperately, and you may not be able to take this city soon. I remind you that the four thousand troops in Tripolis have noticed your invasion, and I don’t think your number will exceed This number, please abide by your previous promise, this is the only thing we ask for."

   "Are you threatening me?" Of course Justinian knew that the other party was being pressed and wanted to make a living, but he didn't like the feeling of being threatened.

Baptiste was conscious of his failure to say: "Of course not, please don't get me wrong, Your Excellency Justinian, we are just—" He was afraid that Justinian would suddenly withdraw his promise, but Justinian did. Cut off his words--

   "Yes, I can guarantee that everyone in Latin can leave here safely. But I hope what happened just now will be the last time."

   Justinian himself did not mean to retaliate against the Latins. No matter how many prisoners there are, it is useless for him now. Time is the most important thing now.

   And this finally gave Baptiste a sigh of relief, "Then I will go back and prepare now." He thought Justinian might be ready to take over the castle now.

But beyond his expectation, Justinian stopped him, "No, you will be surrendered tomorrow. You should go back and prepare for the night. I don't want any accidents." Although time is the most precious now, Als Lan's army won't arrive until tomorrow. If he enters the city now, Justinian is not sure that he can restrain the Byzantine army. He is not willing to cause trouble.
