Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 In 1205 AD, an astonishing news spread to Constantinople. Emperor Baldwin, who had suppressed the Thracian riots on the front line, was suddenly attacked by Bulgarian cavalry who appeared on the battlefield and was taken prisoner. Without the timely support of the Boniface cavalry, the battle was almost a one-sided massacre. According to the survivors, the entire Adrian was full of Latin corpses.

　　 Within the first time, the Constantinople court, which received the battle report, blocked the news. Bulgaria dispatched nearly 15,000 people at any time to attack under the guidance of the Greeks. Although most of them are cavalry, it is difficult to capture the magnificent Theodosius wall, but the city still has hundreds of thousands of dissatisfaction. Greek citizens. If you let them know, it will undoubtedly be a disaster.

"Has Prince Henry got the news?" Anxious Gallias was like an ant on a hot pot, and the main force led by Baldwin was wiped out. The only thing that can be counted on now is the commander of the army in Anatolia. Prince Louis. Different from the fiasco on the Western Front, the battle in the East was broken under Henry's leadership, but now Gallias had to beg him to stop military operations and return to guard the precarious Constantinople.

"Prince Henry has received the news, but it will take a few days to come back at the earliest." After all, the Eastern Front was too victorious. The Latin army captured Nicaea and penetrated into the hinterland of Anatolia. I can't rush back.

　　 "May God bless." Although it will take a few days, it is enough, and Gallias was able to breathe a sigh of relief. "So what's the situation with the Bolgarians? Does anyone come to negotiate."

　　 Judging from the current situation, the Emperor Baldwin was only captured by the Bolgars, and now their first task is to ensure the safety of the Emperor. In Gallias's view, as long as the price given is appropriate, the other party has no reason to give up the high ransom to hurt His Majesty Baldwin.

　　 While Gallias was discussing related matters with the other ministers, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

　　 "Come in." Gallias frowned slightly. Is there anything else important to report at this time?

　　I saw the head of the bodyguard with a hurried look coming in, "Qing Gallias, Marquis Boniface, please see me."

　　 "Marquis Boniface?! Isn't he in Thessaly? How could..." Gallias was pale and completely speechless the moment he heard the man's name.

　　 "Oh? Gallias, is there any problem with my presence here?" The man's cold and hoarse voice came, and a tall man pushed aside the court guard in front of him and walked directly in.

　　 And when Gallias saw the man's cold face, he finally believed that the man had come to Constantinople without knowing it.

　　 Boniface, who entered the court meeting, wore a lock blouse and a long sword, but no one dared to stop him. Galias was silent as he watched this scene. Because everyone knows the horror of this man, he should become the master of Constantinople.

　　 The leader of the Fourth Crusade-Boniface, Marquis of Monfila. Although it did not occupy Constantinople due to the intervention of the Venetians, Boniface acquired the second largest city, Thessaloniki, and controlled the Peloponnese region to establish a kingdom, even though it was Emperor Baldwin's Romanian Empire in name. Vassal, but it is basically an independent kingdom.

　　 At this moment, Boniface is obviously not here to solve the Bulgarian invasion, but to hear the bad news that his vassals are half dead. The Greek resistance army used Greek fire to burn 67 knights, including Bosimonde, in the night attack. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Boniface, how could he let it go.

　　 "Of course I didn't mean that, Marquis Boniface, it was just a bit accidental." Gallias's face was obviously filled up, and his smile was very reluctant.

　　 Boniface's cold gaze made everyone avoid him, and they all knew that this man was not good.

"Oh, that's great. I rushed over as soon as I received the news yesterday. My Neapolitan Mercenary Corps was accompanied by me. I hope Secretary Gallias can allow me to do one thing." Bonifa Although Si said it was a request, but his tone was like an order, which made Gallias and other nobles feel the pressure. At this moment, Constantinople still needs the assistance of Boniface’s army. If offended He is nothing good!

"But it's okay, as long as it's within my abilities." Gallias said hurriedly. It is not wise to offend Boniface at this time, but he is very surprised that Boniface should do something to him. request.

After getting the agreement, Boniface nodded slightly and then said: "That's good, I hope I can thoroughly search the slums of Constantinople, my people can't just die like this!" The man's words were hidden. With the murderous intent, Gallias also felt a chill~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I’m afraid..." Gallias hesitated of course. Accepting Boniface’s request would undoubtedly make Constantinople embroiled in a **** storm. If the capital is turbulent, it will be catastrophic, and Gallias who stayed here has to consider this.

　　 "Is it necessary to ask for this?" The man asked impatiently, making the hearts of the people present tremble and dare not respond.

After a long time, the thoughtful Gallias said: "I'm afraid it won't work, Marquis, no one has this right until Prince Louis returns." He did not pity the Greeks, but once the Constantinoples were panicked. , Then it will inevitably lead to unimaginable disasters, when Boniface can leave, but he can not bear the responsibility.

But Gallias’ words undoubtedly angered Boniface. Suddenly the man pulled out his sword in the crowd and pointed it at Gallias in front of him and asked coldly: "I didn’t hear what you just said. Say it again."

　　 The atmosphere was almost freezing in an instant, the nervous city committee rushed in, and the guards around Boniface also looked at him with weapons.

　　 Gallias was also stunned to see the sharp sword glowing with cold. He still didn't expect Boniface to be bold enough to do so, and he didn't look like a vassal at all.

　　 But at this moment no one can check and balance him. Everyone is arrogant and dare not make any rash actions.

　　 But at this critical moment, a calm voice broke the dangerous deadlock

　　 "Marquis Boniface, stop. At this time, I still have such a mood to do these things. Is it when I don't exist?"

　　 As the man's voice sounded, the cold face of Boniface, who was originally calm, also fluctuated in meaning.

　　 "So it was you, Henry."
