Eagle Flag of Epirus

But Justinian waved his hand and said, "You don’t have to be so troublesome, Your Excellency Ivanko, you should know the purpose of my trip. Now the military situation is urgent, so let’s take my subordinates to rest first. As for me, I also want to understand immediately. Everything about Frachaburg. Especially about the Vadarutai people. I need to get useful information as soon as possible. Can I trouble you about this, Your Excellency?"

After Justinian mentioned the "Vadaritais", the warm atmosphere in front of the entire castle seemed to have undergone a lot of changes in an instant, becoming a bit rigid. The smile on Ivanco Giles, who was on the defense, also faded slightly at this moment, his face was hard to look like, there seemed to be something unspeakable.

I saw that no one answered Justinian’s question, but was silent.

This made Justinian also noticed something wrong at the moment, "Your Excellency Alexander, this should not be a very difficult question at this time, can you answer me?"

At this time, Ivanko also reacted suddenly, and quickly interrupted Justinian’s questioning: "I think I’ll talk about this later. Lord Justinian, I almost forgot about it. In the evening, the humble servant prepares a rich dinner to entertain Your Excellency Justinian. Some things will be discussed slowly and in detail at that time. Are you okay? The people below are still stunned and do what they are doing and prepare immediately. Let Lord Justinian and his subordinates rest!"

Under the yelling, several soldiers hurriedly rushed forward, and under the order of the Ivanko garrison commander, led Justinian's men to the place where they were stationed and camped for a good rest.

But at this moment Justinian’s face is also very ugly. He has realized that the fat man in front of him intentionally interrupted the topic just now, and he has now roughly seen the real person in charge of the castle, Justinian I was too lazy to make any more false statements, looked directly at the haggard Alexander Olki and said:

"Don't you want to tell me at all?"

"This... Lord Justinian... The Vadaritai people are indeed in our jurisdiction, but because of some previous misunderstandings, we sent people to negotiate several times and finally ended up to no avail." The face was embarrassed. The Alexander Olki was hesitant to say something, apparently there were some things that were not easy to say clearly, so he had to answer Justinian in this way.

This was naturally clear to Justinian's eyes, and he also noticed that Ivanko, the Vladimir defensive chief behind him, was also casting a warning look at this place.

But if you see it through, don't tell it, Justinian did not continue to ask more interestingly. Instead, he said indifferently: "Then my subordinates will trouble your Excellency Ivanko to arrange for them to settle down. As for defense issues, I still need to familiarize myself with the situation here. Can I borrow your adjutant at night?"

Since you can't tell under the other person's eyelids, can't you just get rid of the annoying eyeliner! Although it is within the borders of Bulgaria, Justinian, who is well versed in it, knows clearly that the Bulgarians have perfectly inherited all the shortcomings of the Byzantine Empire.

And he didn't have much time to waste now, and said this in an almost commanding tone. For a time, under Frachaburg, the atmosphere seemed to drop to freezing point for an instant and became solidified.

But even Justinian’s extraordinary background, Ivanko, even though there were all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, but there was no resistance, so he nodded and agreed:

"Follow your instructions, Lord Justinian."

...

...

...

"Master Justinian, there was something wrong with the atmosphere just now!"

Arslan, who had only reacted after a long while, looked at Justinian with a gloomy expression and asked inexplicably, it was clear that they had arrived at the destination in time, and for the time being, this military town was not quite satisfactory. Arslan really didn't know why the Lord Justinian in front of him had such a big temper.

At this moment, only Arslan and Salleus were beside him, and the people sent by Frachaburg had been rushed to other places by Justinian. At this moment, there was a rare mean sneer on his face, full of contempt. Looking at the men behind him, Justinian said at this moment:

"In your eyes, this Frachaburg seems to be so-so. Isn't it satisfactory? But in my eyes it is simply terrible."

Given the opposite view, when Justinian first arrived here, he had already noticed the tricks Ivanko, the guard here, was playing against him. I was just fooling myself. I only took a few steps to breathe and breathe. His footsteps were also very vain. It was obvious that the so-called defensive chief did not regard himself as a soldier to ask for it, but spent the entire day. Indulging in wine, that plump body shape is inseparable from this. I took a look at the spirits of the soldiers defending here. The guards as a facade were still fully equipped, but Justinian kept an extra eye when passing through the castle, but found that the equipment of other ordinary soldiers in the city was not only simple but also It's not complete, all of them look yellow and thin, I'm afraid that the payment and silver owed are no longer a matter of days and months.

At this time, Salius also agreed: "In fact, Lord Justinian, I think so too. When I first arrived here, I felt something was wrong."

"Oh, tell me?" Justinian asked with a light brow.

"I think you have also noticed Frachaburg’s adjutant, Alexander... Although you can see the division of duties at a glance, that person should be under a lot of stress. Looking at the haggard face, I’m afraid the whole The real person in charge of the castle is not the Ivanko but him. Then I felt that the defensive chief here was very unreliable. "He has been with Grand Duke Anastasius for ten years. Although he hasn't seen much of the market, Salius is also very aware of the methods used by the Moria nobles at the beginning, and the Bolgars who want to leave the Byzantine Empire can't get out of this stalemate.

After listening to Salleus’ analysis, Justinian finally smiled with satisfaction. He glanced at Arslan and said, “Learning this, I will not be relying on the previous set of fighting and killing. That's right. Look at the other party's botched disguise and you didn't see it at all for a long time." Half a joke and half a lesson, Justinian looked at the Turkic subordinates in front of him and said irritably. It was the embarrassment that made Salius.

"Then, Lord Justinian, you are looking for Alexander alone to..."

"Of course it is to make it easy for the garrison commander to stretch out his hand indiscriminately. Although Fraza is in our hands, the water is muddy!" Justinian silently walked into the comfortable room prepared by the Bolgar. , But at this moment he was not in the mood to rest at all. After all, from the conversation just now, he learned such information. First, Frachaborg already knew that the Magyars were coming, and the first The second point is that the Vadaritai Legion did not collapse, but continued to survive, and still lived in seclusion here. This is undoubtedly excellent news, but Justinian also had to worry about the scene just now, from the ugly color on Ivanko’s face and the adjutant Alexander’s hesitant expression. He can be sure that this trip is not as easy as he thought.

"Then should we beware, after all, these Bolgarians will be dishonest."

"This is not something we should consider, Arslan, Salleus, you two should check those two things, no matter what, even if we can bring back the Vadaritai Legion below, we will welcome you next. It will be an unprecedented battle. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Without any hesitation, Arslan and Salleus immediately dispelled the embarrassment, laughter and other emotions in the joke just now, and immediately became known as Justinian’s disciplined and iron-blooded warriors, and immediately gave out. reply.

Only then did Justinian, who was satisfied, slowly walked to the side of the room, trying to open the window to let in light. However, when he opened the window, the sky was already sparsely starred, and only a few microscopic rays shone on the horizon. Bright, it turned out to be unknowingly at this time, at this time Fraza's sky had already dimmed.

...

...

...

"Rejected? You said Lord Justinian didn't come?" Ivanko's defensive chief shouted and asked with wide eyes and angrily at the attendant he had sent out not long ago.

And the two trembling messengers who were so scared could only answer truthfully: "Check... Lord Justinian has already said that, now that the military situation is urgent, he will not come to today's dinner. He said to invite you. Forgive me."

"Forgive me... what does this mean?"

"It will make you forgive me!" a subordinate officer at the banquet interjected, but was immediately scolded by a dog-blood spray.

"Asshole, of course I know the meaning of this sentence, I mean what exactly does Justinian want to do!" At this moment, Ivanko himself felt like he was insulted, and beside him, Frachaborg The officers and men of all sizes are also here, and Justinian’s actions are simply not in the eyes of all of them!

But this kind of dissatisfaction is not easy for him to vent directly. Even if the hateful young man is a Greek they always look down on, he is after all the master of the overall situation sent by Count Connoldin. How can Ivanko dare to act rashly and have any disrespect? intention. I had to swallow this grievance secretly for the time being.

In a bad mood, the helpless Alexander had already guessed how he himself was trying to please him. I was afraid that he would not receive any good face from Justinian. It is the leak of the house that rains in the night, why is this Greek so interested in the local Vadarutai people here? !

While thinking about it, suddenly, Ivan Kogils discovered that the adjutant Alexander, who was supposed to preside next to him, had disappeared at some point, and his heart sank suddenly.

not good? ! Careless!

Remembering what Justinian said to him during the day, he thought it was just ordinary scenes, but now it seems that this Byzantine young man sent by Lord Connaughtin really didn’t mean to joke his adjutant Alexander now I'm afraid Shiyou will accept relevant investigations at the place where Justinian lives. And what this means, Ivan Kogils knows best. In such a short period of time, his fief has been so prosperous. I really want to thank his adjutant for his diligence. However, this has actually made him a long time ago. Dread, worried that the other party is coveting his current position. At this time, the other party and Justinian walked so close could it be secretly to deal with him.

Ivanko, who was terrified in his heart, quickly got up and left his seat. Without saying a word, he counted his personal guards to leave the seat early.

And this scene also left the other officers and nobles of Frazaborg at a loss, why the banquet had just begun and the host Ivanko in the hall had to take the initiative to leave. This is too abnormal!

It’s just that such doubts didn’t let people ask why Ivanko’s departure was blocked. The officers looked at each other and looked at the garrison who was about to leave. At the moment, the bright hall was lit up with a fire, and the nobles of Bulgar said. In time for the reinforcements to arrive in time, prepare to celebrate and prepare for tomorrow's war.

But when the Chief Ivanko was about to open the door and leave ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, suddenly a cool breeze blew over his head, making the man subconsciously excited. Ok? The doors and windows at the banquet should have been closed tightly. How could there be wind at this time?

The Bulgar man, who felt something was wrong, raised his head subconsciously at this moment, but it didn’t matter if he raised his head, but saw that the Byzantine dome on the hall of the nobility, which should have been painted with iconic frescoes, broke open at this moment. A big hole was formed, and on the other side, dozens of people, not dozens of people, were clinging to the rope and preparing to sneak in.

"Who is it!" The garrison leader who witnessed this scene changed color and shouted, and the officers and nobles who were talking and laughing at the banquet followed them and the officer pointed in the direction of the past. Only then did they discover that they were unconsciously A group of unidentified people in the group sneaked into the castle that they thought was a strong defense.

When they noticed that the other party was holding a compound bow painted with red paint, they immediately recognized the identity of the group.

"It's you?!"

"There is an assassin, protect the defensive master!"

"Call the guard!"

With eyes widened with a look of fear, the nobles of Bolgar did not carry their own weapons at the banquet, and fled in panic.

At this time, even though it was discovered that the Dao operation had been half-failed, the intruders still used their bows and arrows to aim at the defender Ivanko himself, who was under the protection. They shot angry arrows and roared:

"Ivanko, hand over our old leader soon, otherwise we won't be able to fight and die together today!"
