Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 7 Chapter 3: Justinian's departure
?Turnovo, far away from the turbulent waves, the Duke of Connaught, who is in charge of the political situation, is now in his mansion to receive the nobles who are loyal to him and the soon-to-be-crowned Tsar Boriel Assen.
"The Northenville family of Lovech will defend His Majesty the Tsar to the death!"
"The Kvinje family of Haskovo is willing to offer allegiance to His Royal Highness Bolier!"
"Fort Kosenil..."
……
As the northern aristocrats of Thelmium were completely destroyed, the aristocrats at the two ends of the central part arrived at Turnovo the next day, begging to express their sincerity. In this regard, Connaughtin himself did not refuse to come. Although Bolier Assen was still preparing for the coronation ceremony at this moment, he still took the place of the tsar himself and accepted these nobles and nobles on his own initiative. Allegiance.
At this moment, this man has become the most prominent man in Bulgaria. Although the future Tsar is Boril Assen in name, everyone who can really upset him knows that it is the Duke of Connaught. The only thing that can threaten him is Ivan Asen, who is currently uncertain and most likely to flee to the northern Ross kingdoms.
But other than that, no one knows that Connaughtin’s real confidant at this moment is something else.
After interviewing all the aristocrats who had returned, the man immediately put on another mask, cold and cold, making people shudder. Especially those eyes did not seem to have the slightest tenderness at all. Everyone who looks directly at his eyes will involuntarily ask, is this the usual regent duke who talked and laughed at his Royal Highness? !
No one knows, it is not clear what this man named Connaughtin really is...
And now, he was walking alone in the empty promenade, alone in the deep darkness as if he was about to be swallowed, until he walked in front of a pavilion door, he slowly pushed away and walked in.
"Master Connaughtin..."
As soon as he entered the door, the black-clothed man waiting in the secret room bowed his head and bowed in salute, bowing his knees to the utmost not to be disrespectful.
"How did you do?" Connaught did not directly let the man get up, but walked past his side until he sat down in front of the chair in the middle of the room and asked casually.
and down, the shoulders of the man kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, and the sweat on his forehead was as big as a bean, and the tension, hesitation and panic were all painted on his face, but he did not dare not answer.
After a while, the black-clothed man said tremblingly: "Return to your lord, I...we...we lost those Greeks."
"What did you say?!" The sound like a sharp sword cut through the air and it was frightening. Connaughtin, whose eyes were like torches, looked at the man below, and the invisible pressure was like a mighty weight on his shoulders.
And this made the man afraid to raise his head at all, but he didn't dare to hide anything and make his debut: "Originally, we were following the Greeks all the way, but as soon as we came out of Turnovo, the other party seemed to have noticed us. We used the method of breaking up into parts to get rid of us. The guard posts we arranged along the way did not notice any traces. After three days of goodbye, there was no Greek figure. It was as if they hadn't passed by at all. This is us. Please convict the Duke for his negligence."
"You say it's like no one is passing by?" Hearing this, Connaughtin was not eager to blame the men below, because these people are his newest Anbu, and he has always been very decent and has never disappointed him. Over. Previously, according to his calculations, Justinian wanted to go to Moldavia to take the necessary routes, so he arranged his men along the way to wait for opportunities. However, it is unexpected that the bamboo basket was hitting the water for nothing. If Justinian and his army evaporate out of thin air or escape the eyeliner of his dark side, Duke Connaught will never believe it, as his men just said. "It's as if you haven't passed by," but he woke him up all of a sudden.
It was too careless-although the other party said that he was going to Moldova, he didn't have to go on the northern road!
……
……
……
This is the third day after departure. When Justinian led the Moriah New Army and the Vadarutai Army to leave Turnovo, they did not follow the original route northward to Moldova, but directly Heading south, he entered the Burgas region in the southeast of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. And since the original owner, Earl Bertonistein, was eliminated, the new lord has not appeared. Therefore, this territory coveted by many nobles has become a vacuum of power at this moment.
Precisely because of this, Justinian successfully got rid of Bolgar's eyeliner, and this is where he and Antonia agreed to meet.
But this has brought some hidden dangers. The first is the food and grass for the march. Although they have brought some luggage, because of the rush, they have entered Burgas at the moment and there is not much left. And secondly, they are still in the Kingdom of Bulgaria, doing so and stepping into this sensitive area of the power vacuum, once they are noticed by the other party, it may be an excellent excuse for Connaughtin to relaunch.
Alslan and his group followed Justinian, although they were not afraid of any powerful enemies, but at this moment they could not help but worry a little, let alone why Justinian took such a risk~www.wuxiaspot.com~Check Master Stinney, is it too risky for us to do this..." Arslan asked hesitantly, in order not to be discovered by Connaughtin in Turnovo, they avoided villages and towns as much as possible along the way. Not encountering too many dangers, but it also means that they are facing the dangerous situation of running out of ammunition and food at any time, and it is not the way to continue in this way. After all, there is still a long distance from the border between Bulgaria and the Roman Empire. They are there anytime, anywhere. The possibility of being attacked.
But Justinian was still calm, "I know what you mean, Arslan, but I chose this route for my reasons, let the people below hold on for a while!" He said, he naturally knew the risk of this move. As well as the dissatisfaction of his subordinates behind him, but in the end he chose to reject all opinions.
Seeing Justinian's insistence, for a while, Arslan, Salius and Semiius had no choice but to say anything. In their hearts, they were very disapproving of this. They should have crossed the Danube northward to Moldova, but Justinian wanted to go south to Burgas, which really made them incomprehensible. But at this moment Justinian suddenly stopped, stopped, and suddenly said:
"Listen, what sound is this!"
"What's the sound?" Alslan and Semiius, who didn't know, were puzzled by Justinian's sudden excitement. They didn't notice any difference at all in this unfamiliar place. local.
But on the side, Salius, who lives in the southern foothills of Moria, seemed to understand something at this time. He opened his eyes wide and said in unison with Justinian:
"It's the sound of the waves!"
