Eagle Flag of Epirus

"hidden!"

Outside the sea wall of Constantinople has been plunged into a sea of ​​flames at this moment. Due to the takeover of the Latin Empire, the city has become a mess. The formerly prosperous and tidy Golden Horn Market has now become a shanty town for the poor, so it was instantly lit by a pitch barrel that was fired up and burned with flames.

The Latin soldiers who were still aggressive just now also panicked and fled to avoid the unexpected attack and fell into chaos. There were still the Genoese fleet that had been intercepted, leaving only a small number of soldiers to surround Justinian and his party.

This just gave Justinian an opportunity!

"This is too dangerous. Once Justinian is exposed..." Looking at Justinian who was eager to do something, Antonia's eyes were a little worried and anxious, because if they were not careful, they might fall into reaction. The Genoese and Latins who came here flanked and fell to death.

But her words were immediately interrupted by Justinian: "In this situation, you never think that the Franks will let us go after they have solved the Nicaea? Their original goal was us. I'll take my people to break through the barriers and unlock the chain. The next thing is up to you, Mr. Christopher."

And Antonia wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by the generous palm of the old man behind him. Christopher, who looked at Justinian with a serious expression, said in a deep voice, "Just do what you want, Mr. Justinian. Under the circumstances, doing anything is better than waiting to die. The rest of the aftermath here is left to me, you just have to remember to safely protect Antonia away."

"Don't worry, just wait for you to say this!" With a sneer, Justinian, who was leaning forward on the mast the next moment, suddenly fell from the deck, and there was still with him. The short knife on his waist made an amazing move that made the opponent unprepared when Justinian appeared in front of the Latin soldiers below, and the short knife swung down obliquely quickly chopped it to the ground without a trace of muddy water.

The other Latin soldiers around them immediately reacted to the death of their companions and roared from all directions, but Justinian, who had nothing to do with it, silently drew out the broadsword behind him.

I saw a large swath of blood flying towards the sky, but it was not caused by the sharp sword in Justinian's hand, but by the flying feathers that plunged into the chest of the Latin warrior.

Obviously there were Vadaritais who were disguised as slaves who acted with Justinian. These horse archers, who had been disguised as slaves, used bows and arrows to shoot and kill the remaining Latin soldiers who were in trouble—they even There is no time to react. All this happened so quickly that between a few breaths, the Latins who had trapped Justinian and their boat with hooks ran across the field. Antonia and Christopher who had witnessed all this were also stunned. This was the first time they had witnessed this Vadaritai fighting force. When everything happened, they just woke up like a dream, and they truly felt the terrifyingness of the former imperial guard.

He quickly eliminated this Latin army that monitored himself, but this did not mean that everything was over. Antonia and Christopher looked at each other. Justinian’s doing so also meant that he chose to completely give up disguise and choose force. Break through Constantinople! Although the troops of the Latin Empire are in chaos, they must break through the last sea wall of the Latin Army's copper and iron defenses if they want to leave the Golden Horn. It was undoubtedly a **** battle!

But Justinian and his army were already prepared.

"It's now, the princes who are following me, it is my honor to fight with you! Maybe we will suffer heavy casualties or even annihilate our army, but please remember that we are standing on our land, holding the sword in your hand. Cut off the thorns in front of us, we will fight for Rome until we die!"

In the voice of Justinian, the Vadaritais who followed him wielded a scimitar and shouted and rushed towards the sea wall where the Latin army was garrisoned.

Just listen to the oppressive sound, like a torrent, rushing in front of the array of Latin troops.

Even before the battle, the defenders on the sea wall felt like a rainbow of murderous intent, and rushed toward their faces, blowing their fighting spirit away, and even felt that their armor and robe were also wiped out by the gale. Even if they were facing this group of cavalry who didn't even have a flattering, the momentum in the army had been overwhelmed first, and they only felt that the opposite side seemed to be swept by a thousand horses.

On the other side, the garrison of the Latin Empire, bewildered by the sudden attack, finally recovered. The awakening alarm bells and horns came and went one after another. The Latin aristocrat as the commander urgently requested the support of the army to dispatch reinforcements, and on the other side organized the surviving coastal defense forces to counterattack the Nicaea navy with undamaged ballistas.

"Baron Joseph, it's okay, Baron Joseph!" At this moment, the panting attendant ran over with blood on his face and said breathlessly, as if something terrible had happened.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the Venetian reinforcements have not come yet!" Baron Joseph, who had long felt bad, asked anxiously. It can be said that the Roman Empire, which they only established for three years, is still in its infancy. The nobles who were not obedient and the tight treasury made many people have to rely on Venice's support. Among them, the navy is naturally dependent. The Latin Empire without its own warships must rely on the reinforcements of the Venetian sailors, otherwise they will not be able to expel the harassment of the Nicaea from the sea~www.ltnovel.com~ But the strange thing is that this time I don’t know why. , This time the Greeks had already hit the door, but the Venetians were late and did not move. But the next report from the attendant surprised him--

"Master Joseph, not Venetians... these people... those Genoese! They are attacking the sea wall, and the brothers are almost unable to hold it. Please also send troops to reinforce them." The stammering attendant finally took it easy. The words were clear, and Baron Joseph Clevau, who had heard the news, was shocked.

"what did you say?!"

At this moment, Joseph's whole body was cold, he almost forgot his most important task! His Majesty Henry promoted him to be the commander-in-chief of the Constantinople Garrison, but to stop the ship, if the people on the ship were allowed to run away, he would not be able to bear all the blame anyway. Although he was also a French Crusader in name, he was different from other Latin nobles in that Joseph Clevou was born in Normandy, and was actually a vassal of the British king. Since the two countries were feuding, he was in an embarrassing situation in front of other nobles. Chi. Now that he has finally been able to get the appreciation of Emperor Henry, he is unwilling to fail in this way anyway.

There was a chill in his eyes, and then Baron Joseph, who was determined, drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "The fourth brigade will come with me, and the rest will stop the enemy in place. No one is allowed to retreat until the Emperor arrives. Otherwise, Military law is engaged!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers couldn't help but stunned, and no one dared to disobey the slightest bit, and Joseph Clevu, who gave the order, immediately led the soldiers under him and hurriedly moved closer to the sea wall defense line in an attempt to prevent the target from breaking through.
