"It's Lord Justinian!" The garrison guards who were already scared at the top of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person sitting on the elephant was Justinian. However, they did not expect that the commander of this army was actually their city lord Justinian!

"It's me!" Seeing that the defender Justinian on the castle also waved to them to ensure his safety, "This is the army granted to me by Count Theodor, you can let go of the city gate."

"Yes!" The happy defenders in the city immediately opened the city gate, and everyone in the city also stared at the incredible scene that happened in front of them with curious eyes.

The neat and orderly army slowly approached the castle. Fortunately, the castle had been expanded once, so it could barely accommodate the army. Leo immediately ordered the people below to free up the barracks, but the armored war elephant sitting on Justinian attracted people's attention even more. Many people saw this giant for the first time, and their faces were full of curiosity.

Justinian came down from the elephant's back and handed it to the Saracen trainer who followed him, "I'll trouble you next, Musval." Theodore offered him the elephant, and in a sense, was indeed a great help on the battlefield.

"This is what I should do, please rest assured." The Saracen walked into the city with an elephant expressionless face, without any reaction to the strange gazes that were cast around.

The beast trainer Musval was also a gift from Theodor, and Justinian knew that this was not a good intention. He did not think Theodor was so kind, but it was normal. Not only that, the deputy of this company had also been arranged. He was Zeodosefalon, who was commanding the attack on Athens not long ago. How could Theodor be so relieved to hand over his army to Justinian? Justinian knew this very well. I am afraid that for now, he not only maintained the loyalty of this army to him or even drove this army.

At this time, Leo, who had walked down from the castle, came out to greet him with an excited look on his face. He was already anxious these days when he had not received the news from Justinian.

"Sir Justinian!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Justinian walked up and patted Leo's shoulder, gave a wink, and said, "This is General Zeodosefalon whom the Earl of Theodor sent to assist me, and he is also the deputy of this army. You prepare a clean and comfortable house to arrange for him to rest, and then talk about other things later." He pointed to the man beside him, and the man riding on the horse snorted coldly. Zeodosefalon did not hide his contempt for Justinian at all. If he had not failed to attack Athens and had to sacrifice his merits, how could he be willing to be under such a young boy?

Leo nodded immediately and turned to Zeodosefaron, who was beside him and said, "Welcome to Castle Ilofan, General, please feel wronged all night."

"You don't need to say this." Zeodosefalon didn't even look at Leo next to him. In his opinion, he and these low-ranking officers were a kind of humiliation. He looked at Justinian and suddenly said coldly: "Your Excellency Justinian, Count Theodor ordered you to lead your army into the Moria Military Region as soon as possible. I don't want to be involved here for too long."

"I know this, Lord Faron, but please remember that I am the commander of the army." Justinian said without hesitation, at least nominally, he is now the superior of this middle-aged man.

However, the response to him was still a sneer—

"I came to assist the commander in the military district of Moria just by following the orders of the Earl Theodor, and I was not the governor of the region, and I did not have the power to obey me absolutely." Zeodoseron, who was riding on the horse, did not take Justinian seriously at all, especially those words that Justinian said at the banquet before, and he had no affection for this young boy. As he said that, he rode into the city on his own.

"This guy--" Looking at Zeodosefalon's arrogant attitude, Captain Abdra, who had been following Justinian, finally couldn't help it. During the two days from Agrignon to Castle Ilofan, Zeodosefalon's attitude was simply bad, which made him unable to bear it.

But Justinian stopped him at this time, "Forget it, but you will be busy these days and prepare some logistics supplies. He is right. I will leave within these days."

"Are you really going to Molia? This is the case..." Abudra couldn't continue, but the fact is that with the power of Ilovan Castle, I'm afraid that he would not be able to expel the Latins there, but Justinian insisted so much.

"Yes, for the next period of time when I am away, one of you will be responsible for the affairs of Ilovan Castle, and the other will accompany me to assist me in this expedition. Who would you like to go with me?" Justinian said, "When he looked at the two middle-aged men calmly. The past few months of getting along have made him trust Abdra and Leo, but no matter this, he must leave one person to stay in Ilovan Castle to make him feel at ease.

"I!" The two of them stood up at the same time. They both wanted to follow Justinian to go on the war, although they all knew the dangers they might encounter next.

But at this moment, an army approached outside the castle.

"It's a Turk!" The soldiers on the whistle tower shouted.

"Have they arrived yet?" Justinian murmured to himself, letting go of the previous talk and walking out of the city gate. The one who led the Turkic cavalry was Arslan, who had not seen for a long time. Looking at the lineup he brought, in addition to the 300 Turkic light cavalry that had promised, more than 400 light infantry were following them. No wonder Arslan was coming later than Justinian had expected to come. Looking at the other party's outfit, Justinian recognized the Turkic ones at a glance and recognized them at first sight.
