Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 The early morning in Karamai city is not yet fully bright, and there is still some chill in the air, and the purge of Byzantine troops have set up a military formation in front of the city gate, and at this time the Latins are also ready to surrender and offer this castle.

Baptiste and his men put down their weapons and waited nervously for the arrival of the Byzantines. However, it was not them who were really frightened, but the immigrants from the city, who came here. They left their homes. There is no support at all, the Achaean army has left, but they can't. However, staying here may either be reduced to slaves or become the target of Byzantine revenge. Since the fall of Constantinople, the Latins are nothing less than evil in the eyes of the Byzantines.

　　 But as soon as Justinian brought his army into the city, he announced that the safety of all residents in the city would be guaranteed. Whether they left or stayed, the Latins would not be retaliated. This made people feel a little relieved.

On the cold-windy city head, the cross flag belonging to the Achaean kingdom was set aside, and replaced by the Byzantine double-headed eagle flag. On the magnificent flag, the ferocious eagle is waving proudly in the wind, while looking up. , Justinian slowly said to Baptiste in front of him: "I have fulfilled my promise, and now the key to the treasury and everything in the city will be handed over!"

At this moment, he had no worries at all. In the middle of the night, Arslan arrived at the barracks with his Turkic cavalry, and Justinian was sure to restrain his Byzantine army. This may be ironic, but Justinian Now they can only rely on the Turks to maintain their control of the army.

　　 But Baptiste, who was watching all this with cold eyes, immediately presented the key to the treasury, the seal of the official residence in the city, and the saber around his waist symbolizing his surrender to Justinian. He has been reluctant to stay here for a moment, just want to take the army and immediately flee the southern Peloponnese, which is already mostly controlled by the Byzantines.

　　 "May you come to Gui'an, there will be a period of time later, Your Excellency Justinian."

"Such words are insincere, Sir Baptiste. I'm afraid you don't want me to be'Gui'an', but I think we will meet again." There is a trace on Justinian's face. With a faint smile, he believes that the Latins will definitely not be content with what they are doing here. By then, it will be a simple fact that the two sides will meet on the battlefield.

　　 After hearing Justinian's words, Baptiste's face also showed an awkward look.

　　 I saw Justinian drew the sword from his waist and issued an order to accept the castle to the army in front of him. At the same time, he also issued strict military regulations:

"Thank God for your protection, we have regained our land. Soldiers of the Fourth Company, I now want you to remember my order-no personal threats to all Latin officers and soldiers who have surrendered, and no looting of civilians. As a slave, you must not rob the wealth of the treasury, you must not **** other people’s wives and daughters. Anyone who disobeys orders will be engaged in military law! And after all this is over, I will give you generous rewards, but before that, please restrain your desires in your heart. Don't take one step beyond the thunder pond."

"Yes!" All the Byzantine soldiers raised their arms and shouted. Before that, Justinian had given them all the spoils brought by the Turkic cavalry. Therefore, Justinian's order did not cause the soldiers too much. There was a big grievance, but after all, someone still showed a vicious look in the dark, but there was nothing to do. Zeodoro Cephalon thought that Justinian would definitely allow the army to enter the city to looting, after all, the army would not be able to master it for a long time without rewards and spurs. When the time comes, those under his staff can take advantage of the chaos to complete the plan last night.

It’s just that Zeodore Sefaron really did not expect that the arrival of the Turks from Arslan in the middle of the night disrupted his previous plan. He was rewarded and coupled with the deterrence of the Turkic cavalry. When he took over the castle, he wanted the Byzantine soldiers to make trouble. It's already very difficult.

But Zeodoro Cephalon didn't mean to give up at all, "Huh, it's like this, but don't think that you can get away with it." Zeodo Cephalon sneered slightly, he had already planned. There are so many people, Justinian has no way of guarding against it.

　　Since Musval can no longer count on it, he can only rely on himself. Zeodore Cephalon has always regarded the fourth company as his own private property, even if he must prevent Justinian from succeeding regardless of the cost.

And his goal is the heavy granary in Karamay. When Justinian’s army landed, there was not much food and grass. Now if you can’t get the food in Karamai, it means that continuing to march will be a futile. Then Justinian will inevitably fail, and the fourth company will return to his own hands.

　　Calamai by the sea ~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Latins have given up resistance, and the government residence and the granary mansion are guarded by militiamen. They are immigrants for generations and have lived in the Byzantine Empire for a long time. Therefore, the Achaean army surrendered and evacuated, but they had to stay. If they left, they would be homeless. But on the other hand, they were uneasy about whether the Byzantines would retaliate against them.

　　 "What should we do, boss?"

　　 "What else can we do, the French come and we will do things for the French, and the Emperor's army will come back and we will continue to serve the emperor!"

　　 "But I'm afraid that the empire is indiscriminate. When the Venetians attacked Constantinople, it didn't matter whether you were French, Italian or Iberian."

Several militiamen whispered that what they were talking about was exactly what happened in Constantinople two years ago. It was precisely because of their stupid riots that Genoa and other countries had completely lost their favor with the Byzantine Empire and refused to mediate the Crusades. Siege. This aspect also reflects the serious estrangement between the Latin and Byzantine ethnic groups.

　　 At this moment, the pace of the army's purge was approaching here. It was obvious that the army received by Byzantium had arrived, and the tight-hearted Latin vigilantes also got up and down.

　　I came to them so soon. At this moment, the Latins were not mentally prepared. Although the Byzantines had previously promised that there would be no retaliation, they couldn't believe that the other party would retaliate.

While they were anxious, a group of Byzantine heavy infantry appeared in front of them. A Pronian nobleman slowly stepped out of the army on horseback, looking at the militiamen in front of him from a high level: "Is this the granary of Karamai?"
