It has only appeared now, and he is almost a little bit dead at the hands of the Venetians. Justinian didn't think that the other party came late because of his unscrupulousness, and made up his mind to settle accounts with Leosgros after these things were over. This time his plan was completely disrupted. If he had not reached an agreement with Anastasius, he would never have taken such a big risk alone.

"Kill all, Venetians, let them know the power of Roman men. If you retreat, I will kick your ass!" The man shouting waved the long sword in his hand, and the Byzantine soldiers who were more and more brave as they fought, were not as timid as before.

The people of Leosgros came out from the assault. The "weed-shaped queue," under his instructions, Byzantine soldiers formed a spearhead and drove the Venetians who could not support them step by step into the sea. However, the Venetian soldiers who had already retreated were now fighting against the water, but they gathered together to fight to the death.

Especially when someone pointed at the sea behind him and shouted at the arrival of reinforcements, the pressure on Byzantine soldiers to attack doubled.

Looking along the fire, the Venetian fleet, which should have been blocked by the sea of ​​fire, broke through the blockade. It would be bad if the opponent attacked. Duke Leo shouted that something was wrong. Now they were just forming a local advantage in the shallows. If the Venetians were at all costs, they would definitely not be able to defend the water gate. The man who made a quick decision immediately ordered the army to retreat slowly back to the city, and Justinian also realized this and limped and wanted to retreat regardless of the pain. Fortunately, there was a melee, and no Venetians noticed his identity, so no one would pursue him specifically.

At this moment, a man among the Byzantine soldiers retreating into the city walked towards him in the opposite direction, which made Justinian slightly stunned and recognized the man in front of him, the Baron Isak who had received him before. He was also covered in blood, and obviously had experienced a fierce battle, panting. Did he come to pick him up?

Justinian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the Baron Isaac in front of him also stretched out his left hand and said, "Sir Justinian, are you okay?"

But this made Justinian suddenly alert and let out his left hand. Why did the other party stretch out his left hand? When he subconsciously felt the danger, Baron Isaac had stabbed him with a long sword in his hand. Justinian immediately realized that this was a long-planned assassination. Isaac approached himself to kill himself when he relaxed his vigilance.

Justinian, who was shocked, suddenly wanted to dodge, but the torn wound on his leg hurt a severe pain, which made him no longer able to avoid this fatal sword.

But at the critical moment, Baron Isaac suddenly screamed, and saw him staggering, the sword in his hand also lost its direction and did not stab Justinian. With a plop, the strong man fell to the ground, and a feather arrow was inserted on his back, which directly took his life.
