Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 "What's the matter with you?" Although Muzfius couldn't see it, he felt the nervousness of Justinian very keenly.

　　 "Nothing." Justinian shook his head. Although the opponent is only a teenager now, and it will take a long time before he becomes the terrible czar, he still feels uneasy somehow.

　　At this time, the Bolgars let go of the encirclement, and the entire caravan also kept their promise to lay down their weapons.

The heavily armed Bolgar retreated to both sides and gave way to make a path, "Please come with me, and after everything is over, you can leave safely and go where you want to go." Grand Duke Ivan is still so innocent. This made everyone uneasy. Feeling slightly relieved...

　　 In this way, the caravan followed the Bolgar to the camp of the Bulgarian army.

　　Bulgaria hit the Latins hard but never continued to attack Constantinople, because on the one hand the Prince Henry returned, on the other hand the threats of the Venetian and Hungarians in the rear made the hero Carloyan also had to hesitate.

　　 "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Ivan is back." The guards outside the account came in to report. These days, the Bolgarians have been searching for the Greeks who fled from Constantinople and asking about the truth in the city.

　　 "So fast, it seems that Constantinople is really turbulent now, and so many people have escaped." Kaloyan sneered and walked out of the military tent. And Ivan Asen was waiting in the camp with the people from the caravan. Almost 10,000 people were stationed here. He had won a big victory before.

　　 "Your Majesty, these people are business travelers from Constantinople. I think they should understand some of the city's reality and bring them here." Ivan's respect obviously satisfied his uncle Kaloyan.

"Good job, my dear nephew. If only your brother Bolier is like you," Kaloyan patted Grand Duke Ivan on the shoulder and said, and Ivan Assen's eyes flashed inadvertently. A trace of haze.

　　 And it happened that Justinian, who had been watching him, discovered that if he guessed right, Bolier should be competing with Ivan Asen for the successor of the Tsar. Sure enough, this young man did not appear to be harmless on the surface.

　　 At this time, Kaloyan's gaze fell on Dekulin, and said: "You are the leader of this caravan. Now I hope you can tell me everything you know completely, Greek."

　　 "It's a Roman. I can tell you everything you want to know, but please don't call us the scornful Latins for us." Deculin replied coldly, making the atmosphere immediately tense. The Greeks were what other people called the inhabitants of the Byzantine Empire, but until their demise in 1453, they insisted on calling themselves Romans, and their country name was always the Roman Empire. For Dekulin and the others, calling them "Greeks" is no different from calling them "barbarians", especially the so-called Bulgarian tsars are just the rebellious nobles of the past empire.

　　 After a while, everyone felt nervous. Justinian subconsciously squeezed the locket in his hand. They are now unarmed, and when necessary, he has no choice to use the Greek fire inside to make a desperate move.

But suddenly there was a tingling sensation in his palm. He looked down subconsciously and found that the ark of the covenant, which had not reacted after leaving the castle of Alexey III before, gave out a faint light once again, Justinian. Immediately squeeze the palm of your hand to prevent others from finding it. Fortunately, everyone's attention is on Dekulin and the Bulgarian tsar.

"I feel it now."

　　 A string of voices suddenly appeared in his mind, and Justinian jumped. It was the voice of the ark of indifferent and indifferent, slightly childish voice.

　　 "What's wrong with you, Brother Justinian?" Little John next to him seemed to be aware that Justinian seemed to be a little confused and asked.

　　 But Justinian immediately recovered his composure, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

On the other hand, Kaloyan didn’t seem to be offended, but said indifferently: “Well, Romans, why did you leave your hometown? Tell me everything you know, I don’t want to waste time with you. Tell me, I want to know. I will let you leave here safely." In his eyes, these Greeks are simply insignificant, and it is impossible for him to breathe.

　　 But at the moment Justinian was staring at the man in the crowd-the iron crown on his head.

　　The iron crown belt, which looks very old, is particularly conspicuous on Kaloyan's head, and the emerald inlaid on it is the main reason for the reaction of the ark.

　　 "I feel that it is one of my fragments."

　　 A whisper in Justinian's mind, the locket in his hand no longer resonated, but this made Justinian's heart agitated.

　　If the guess is not wrong, the rumors are not groundless. The ancient crown of Sofia won by the Bolgars may have really helped them to become independent. Unexpectedly, the first fragment of the ark of the covenant would be found here, but now he can't do anything. But now that knowing where the fragments of the ark are, it is a huge gain.

"We decided to leave Constantinople because the people in the city are now panicking, and the resistance inside them hit them hard with Greek fire. They escaped from Constantinople in order to prevent the Latins from persecuting us." Deculin replied. .

"How many of them are there?" Frowning slightly, Kaloyan was not satisfied with the news and continued to ask ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but this stumped Dkulin. He didn't care about it in order to leave immediately. thing.

But Justinian came out at this moment and replied: "Constantinople has no more than 4,000 guards, plus the cavalry reinforcements of less than 1,000 Latin people, but now these people are enough to defend Constantine. The fort is gone, and it is impossible for your Majesty to conquer it." As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the caravan looked at the young man in amazement, he even dared to say such an astonishing remark in front of Kaloyan.

　　 "You are presumptuous!" Lovewey yelled at Justinian and raised the whip in his hand to hit him, but Carloyan motioned to stop him.

"Oh, is it? Why are you so sure, I captured their emperor, and the Latins called me the butcher of the Romans fearfully. Now Constantinople is just a group of defeated soldiers." The chair suddenly stood up and looked at Justinian condescendingly. This man Paulgar was so tall that everyone couldn't help but feel tight.

　　 And Muzfius was also in the crowd wondering why Justinian stood up at this time, at this time they shouldn't have attracted the attention of the other party.

But Justinian entered the venue calmly and was not overwhelmed by the momentum of the tsar in front of him. Instead, he talked and replied: “Prince Henry has rushed back to Constantinople to preside over the overall situation, and with your current power, your Majesty, I’m afraid it’s fundamentally fundamental. Not enough, don’t forget that it was the wall built by Theodosius the Great. No one from the outside can capture him. And soon, the Latin Eastern army will come back, and by that time you will not only have no hope of entering the king It may be very difficult for Constantinople to even retreat completely. Perhaps more than one person persuades you to attack Constantinople, but don’t forget how many powerful peoples in the past ended up being destroyed as a result. Do you say yes, Kaloyan must? "
