The morning in Karamai was not yet completely bright, and there was still some chill in the air. The purged Byzantine army had already set up military formations in front of the city gate, and the Latins were ready to surrender and offer this castle.

Baptist and his men both put down their weapons and waited for the arrival of the Byzantines. However, it was not them who were really scared, but the Latins who immigrated to this city. They left their homes and businesses and came here without any support. The Achaean army left, but they could not. However, staying here may either become slaves or become the object of the Byzantines' revenge. Since the fall of Constantinople, the Latins have become evil in the eyes of the Byzantines.

But as soon as Justinian entered the city, he announced that the safety of all residents in the city would be guaranteed, and that no Latins would be retaliated against, whether they were leaving or staying, which made people feel a little relieved.

On the cold wind, the cross flag belonging to the Achaean vassal state was dropped, replaced by the Byzantine double-headed eagle military flag. The hideous eagle on the gorgeous military flag was floating proudly in the wind. Looking above, Justinian slowly said to Baptist in front of him: "I have fulfilled my promise. Now I will hand over the keys of the treasury and everything in the city!"

At this moment, he had no worries at all. In the middle of the night, Arslan and his Turkic cavalry arrived at the barracks. In this way, Justinian was confident of restraining his Byzantine army. This may be a bit ironic, but Justinian can only rely on the Turks to maintain his control over the army.

Baptist, who watched all this coldly, immediately presented the key to the treasury, the seal of the city's official residence, and the sword around his waist symbolized the surrender to Justinian. He was unwilling to stay here for a moment, and just wanted to lead his army to escape immediately from the Southern Peloponnese, which was already mostly controlled by the Byzantines.

"I hope you will have a date in Gui'an in the future, Your Excellency Justinian."

"It's a bit insincere about such words, Sir Baptist. I'm afraid you don't want me to be 'Guian', but I think we will meet again." Justinian had a faint smile on his face. He believed that the Latins would definitely not be willing to do what they did here. It would be a simple fact that the two sides met on the battlefield.

After hearing Justinian's words, Baptist's face also showed an embarrassing expression.

Justinian pulled out the sword from his waist and issued an order to accept the castle to the army in front of him, and also issued strict military regulations:

"Thank you for the protection of God, we have taken back our land. All the soldiers of the Fourth Company, I want you to remember my order now---no personal threats to all Latin officers and soldiers who have surrendered, no personal threats, no civilians are allowed to be plundered as slaves, no wealth in the treasury, no rape of other people's wives and daughters, and all those who disobey orders are engaged in military law! After all this is over, I will give you a generous reward, but before this, please restrain your desires and do not go beyond the line."

"Yes!" All the Byzantine soldiers raised their arms and shouted. Before that, Justinian had already rewarded them with all the spoils brought by the Turkic cavalry. Therefore, Justinian's order did not cause too much resentment from the soldiers. However, in the end, some people showed a resentful look in secret, but there was no way. Zeodosefalon thought that Justinian would definitely allow the army to enter the city to loot, after all, the army would not be able to control it for a long time without rewards and spurs. At that time, the people under his command could complete the plan last night's plan in the chaos.

However, Zeodosefalon did not expect that the arrival of the Turks in the Arslan in the middle of the night disrupted his previous plans. He received the reward and the intimidation of the Turkic cavalry. It was already difficult for Byzantine soldiers to cause trouble when receiving this castle.

But Zeodosefalon had no intention of giving up, "Hmph, this is the case, but don't think that you can escape this disaster." Zeodosefalon sneered slightly. He had already made plans, and there were so many people and eyes that Justinian could not be wary of it.

Since Musval could no longer count on him, he could only rely on himself. Zeodosefalon has always regarded the fourth company as his private property, even at all costs, he must prevent Justinian from succeeding.

His target was the heavy granary in Karama City. When Justinian's army landed, there was no more food and grass. Now if he could not get the food in Karama City, it would mean that continuing to advance would be a plunge. Then Justinian would inevitably fail, and the Fourth Company would return to his own hands.

...

In the city of Karama by the sea, the Latins had given up their resistance, while the government residence and granary treasury were guarded by militia. They were immigrants for generations and had lived in the Byzantine Empire very old, so the troops of the Achaean vassal state surrendered and evacuated, but they had to stay. If they left, they would be homeless. But on the other hand, they were uneasy about whether the Byzantines would retaliate against them.

...

"What should we do, boss?"

"What else can we do? When the French come, we will do our business for the French. When His Majesty's army comes back, we will continue to serve the emperor!"

"But I'm afraid the empire is indiscriminate. When the Venetians attacked Constantinople, they ended up suffering whether you were French, Italian or Iberian."

...

Several militia whispered that what they were talking about was exactly what happened in Constantinople two years ago. It was precisely because of the stupid riots that Genoa and other countries had no favorable feelings for the Byzantine Empire and refused to mediate the siege of the Crusaders. This aspect also reflects the serious gap between the Latins and the Byzantine people.

At this moment, the army was approaching here, and it was obvious that the army received by Byzantine was coming, and the Latin militia who were in a tight heart were also up and down.

They arrived so soon, and the Latins were not mentally prepared. Although the Byzantines had previously announced that they would not have any revenge, they finally found it difficult to believe that the other party would repay their grievances with kindness.
