Eagle Flag of Epirus

When the fighting on the shore was in full swing, the Venetian navy had not taken any further action except for attacking the Roman army camps on the hills of the Acropolis with trebuchets. As long as they are willing, once they join the battlefield, the outcome will be determined immediately. It's just that the Venetians are unwilling to pay losses, so all of them stand on the sidelines.

Just looking at the stalemate in front of the battle, the Venetians couldn't help but become anxious. If it hadn't been for the commander-in-chief, Baron Cynvenir had issued a strict order, they would have already taken action.

But when Arslan led the cavalry to attack the rear of the Latin coalition forces, the Venetians also found something wrong at sea.

"That is--"

"Look there, it seems that happened there?!"

"Military flag, the Crusader flag has fallen!"

Despite the distance, the Venetian navy, watching every change in the battle situation from afar, discovered that the most conspicuous crusader flag had fallen and disappeared in sight-it was an extremely abnormal thing. You must know that you will not lose the moment. The flag that represents military spirit and fighting spirit cannot be allowed to fall under any circumstances.

"It's the Chinese army, what must have happened to Master Vernier!" The Venetian who reacted for the first time immediately noticed something wrong and guessed something. You must know that in case the Greeks resorted to any means to carry out assault beheadings, it is entirely possible. Once successful, the whole battle situation may be reversed...

"Go to the rescue!" At this time, the Venetians on the boat couldn't help but panic. They were all members of the Vernier family. Naturally, they also looked forward to the head of Seyrn Venier's horse. They did not want to see him appear any wings. After all, they The purpose of this trip is not for the boring war between the Latin Crusaders and the Greeks, but for another important task, which determines whether the Venier family can take the opportunity to replace the Dandoro family to run for the next governor-Zaijun Old Dandoro of Constantinople has no more fun. Ranieri Dandoro, who had a great chance, suffered a disastrous defeat at Fort Wiscari and lost most of the garrison in Crete. Once they succeed this time, they will surely get a large number of supporters. Because of this, as the commander of this operation, the safety of Cynvenir cannot be lost.

"But Mr. Thain gave orders before..."

"At this time, where is there any spare time to care about those, prepare to act, we can't take any risks instead!"

The Venetian nobles who were sitting on the boat as their deputy looked at each other and nodded their heads and made up their minds to order the army to land. Although the combat effectiveness of the Venetian army on land has not been very strong, it is compared to the declining Rome. The army and the Crusaders made up of ruined knights still have an advantage. As long as they appear, the outcome of the battle will be completely locked in their hands.

But at this moment, I heard the Venetian soldiers suddenly exclaimed, "Look!"

Immediately everyone followed the prestige and saw a paddle boat appeared behind them at the back of the reef in the bay. This was completely beyond their expectation. Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. Several Venetian nobles who were planning to attack the land subconsciously clenched their fists and watched the sudden appearance of the unexpected guest. Although it was only a small sailboat, there was no flag in this war zone. Too strange. An uneasy feeling arose spontaneously, making them feel that there was a fuzzy feeling in their hearts.

"This...what's going on?" Focusing completely on the life-and-death battle on the land ahead, the Venetians were careless, and no one noticed how the ship appeared here.

"Could it be that what tricks the Greeks did not succeed?"

"But what do they want to do with only one boat, are they crazy?"

The puzzling Venetians stared at the strange scene in front of them, and at the same time watched all the wind and grass around the sea. They were located in an overseas area, and there was a ring of tall rocks blocking their vision. If the other party has If there is any ambush, it must hide behind it. But what exactly did the Greeks want to do when sending a small boat?

"Let's go and take a look!" An aristocrat immediately ordered, but it aroused opposition from his colleagues.

"Are you stupid? This is obviously a trap!"

"What are you afraid of, even if there are some traps, do you think that the Greeks can set off some storms on the sea?" The noble sneered. This is not extreme arrogance, but a thorough fact. Who else is Genoa who holds the supremacy of the sea in Venice? Even the Pope had to rely on them to maintain the Crusade against the East, and even the Roman Empire, which was strong during the Manuel era, was not their opponent, not to mention that it is now so weak. What about the Greeks at the point? Therefore, even if there is any ambush at sea, this nobleman is confident enough to deal with it. In the final analysis, it was just a dying struggle with a praying man’s arm as a car. The Venetian nobleman, who was extremely despised, waved the two warships and then outflanked it, slowly approaching the motionless oars boat in front of him.

Strangely speaking, from the current point of view, there is no one on the deck of the ship, and there is no slight movement at the same time, which is really suspicious. However, this intensified the curiosity of the Venetians. Their warships were covered with iron armor and fire-resistant materials this time, and they were not afraid of Greek fire attacks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I saw it easily boarded. As soon as the sailors of the ship came up, they asked an unspeakable pungent smell, but they had never encountered it. The alert sailors took their weapons and looked at everything around carefully just in case, but to their expectations, there was no ambushing Greek under the cabin, which disappointed them. After all, these Venetian sailors have already been waiting for a long time. Whoever realized that it was really an empty ship.

Immediately, while letting a few people go down to check if there was any inside, while waving the flag to tell the flagship not far away that everything was safe, the captain who came up to check the situation couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face.

"What... It turns out that it's not a Greek at all, it's just an empty ship."

"But how did it come from?" The subordinate on the side asked in a puzzled manner, really not sure what was going on, even if it was a trap made by the Greeks, it wasn't a threat at all! For a time, the Venetians actually felt a bitter smile.

At this time, the Venetian sailor who had drilled down to check finally reached the bottom of the deck city, and the pungent smell there before was getting heavier and he didn't know what it was. The smell of sulfur and charcoal was a little different. And I saw it was dark inside, and the place where the oarsmen was was actually closed, and there was no light coming in! And as soon as he jumped off the ladder, the Venetian felt as if he had stepped on a thick layer of something soft under his feet, and he subconsciously leaned down to touch it, and it only felt like sand powder was spreading under his feet.

What is this? The Venetian sailor with a bewildered look immediately took out the flint from his arms and wanted to light the torch to see what was inside. He only heard the sound of the flint beating with a click, and a spark popped out in the dark.
