"You are fine, Mr. Justinian!" The soldiers who were shocked by the scene just now asked quickly. They never expected that there was an assassin hidden inside at such a close distance, and Justinian could die if he was only a slightest bit.

Justinian was also in lingering fear when he saw his arm with a dagger. He was only a little short of it and died at the hands of the assassin. Justinian was completely lucky to survive. He escaped with one arm, but fortunately, although the blade hurt his flesh, it did not move his muscles.

But even so, Justinian couldn't help but sweat. At this time, he was in such a position. If he had any accidents, the army under his command would undoubtedly be destroyed here. It can be seen that the people who assassinated him had a vicious look and had already set the right time.

Looking at the subdued assassin, Justinian took off his helmet and revealed an oriental face, obviously from the Khorasan area.

Justinian also guessed the other party's identity at this moment and said, "Assassin, as you will also serve the Venetians." As a radical extremist sect, Assassin pursues fundamentalism, and is cruel to his own family, and naturally uses even more unscrupulous methods to Christians. However, now they have to surprise Justinian with the facts for the Venetians. It seems that in order to face the cruel reality, they have finally made some adjustments.

However, in the face of Justinian's question, the assassin in front of him strictly abides by his own rules and says nothing, but even if he doesn't say anything, Justinian has guessed the probable obstacles. Although Grand Duke Anastasius tried his best to settle possible constraints for him, the people who wanted to assassin still found out the news in advance and sent Assassin assassin to lurk beside Justinian.

What a good method!

Justinian couldn't help but show a cold smile on his face, as cold as the middle of winter. It has to be said that it was perfect. He just almost lost everything in a careless manner. Unfortunately, the person who wanted to deal with him still underestimated his strength.

At this moment, in the northeast direction, a sound arrow cut through the night sky, and Justinian subconsciously looked in the direction there, and there was another mountain pass leading to the outside world. It was the signal that Justinian and Arslan agreed, and now Justinian was finally sure Arslan had successfully separated.

Since this is the case, there is no point in fighting. Justinian ordered his men to take the assassin down and immediately ordered.

"The front team becomes the back team, and quickly get out of the battle!"

"The archers retreat first, the archers cut off and suppress the enemy, and others cover the evacuation, and no mistakes shall be made."

Despite his injuries, Justinian was calm and orderly to evacuate the Venetians in an orderly manner. This scene made Maximilian, who was pursuing them, even more anxious. Obviously, the Byzantines no longer want to fight, and if they could not severely damage the only defensive power left by this Fort Wiscari, then their previous efforts would be in vain.

"Survey at full speed, and you must not let them run away!" Maximilian roared at the top of his previous calmness. However, the Venetian soldiers who had been defeated by heavy armored cavalry before were still afraid of the enemy's rain of arrows. Only a small number of elite soldiers were barely chasing the bows and arrows of the Turkic string control men, but they immediately disintegrated after encountering the cruising heavy armored cavalry. In the end, they could only watch the Byzantine army retreat smoothly back to the mountain and retreated unstoppable.

All of this was in the eyes of the nobles on the Fort Wiscarri. Although the Venetians attacked from all directions, the army led by Justinian seemed to have no clue and could not be besieged, let alone be severely injured. It was not until this time that these Morian nobles truly saw the talent of this young man and believed that the Battle of the Alfios was indeed commanded by Justinian.

"I am really the person I liked by Emperor Muzfius. I haven't seen anyone with such a talent for commanding the army in a long time." A nobleman sighed slightly. On the one hand, the decline of the Byzantine Empire was due to the lack of military equipment, and on the other hand, there were fewer and fewer good generals who could command the army like Andronica I. Justinian's performance may not be surprising compared to the famous generals of the empire such as Belisarius, but it seems particularly dazzling in the entire dark age.

This little-known boy was indeed a rare general. Although the army under Justinian was the elite of the elite under the Grand Duchy of Anastasius, it is obviously not possible to break through the encirclement that the enemy had already set up in such a complex mountainous land.

But another nobleman poured cold water on the side and said, "Hmph, what can that happen? Even though he was able to defeat the Latins in the Alfios River before, isn't he unable to break through the Venetians' iron wall at the foot of the mountain? He is just a brave man, just a boring act of consuming himself."

This sentence undoubtedly made everyone's hearts sink. Although they all saw Justinian escape unscathed during the night attack, the casualties of the Venetians were not as bad as they were. This would infuriate their enemies. On the other hand, although they did not suffer much damage in this battle, it would undoubtedly add insult to the fact that there were not many garrison forces in the city.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Fort Wiscarry is captured. For a moment, everyone thought in their minds - that was the last ultimatum issued by the Venetians before.

But at this moment, the Grand Duke Anastasius, who had been silent, said lightly: "Have you not discovered it yet? The Venetians have actually been trapped!"

"What? Grand Duke, what do you... mean?" After hearing what the old man in front of him said, all the nobles showed a look of surprise on their faces.

At this time, the old man turned slowly and replied calmly: "In the battlefield, an excellent commander should not only command the army, but also understand the enemy's purpose and hide his intentions. In the eyes of the Venetians, this was a battle where they took the opportunity to eliminate the main force of Fort Wiscarri, but in fact they completely forgot that what Justinian had to do was just to break through the defense line and open up the exit for help. From beginning to end, the Venetians did not take the initiative in the battlefield."

"You mean, this is a completely scheming trick to lure the Venetians out?!" The nobles who realized this blurted out, remembering that they had been completely immersed in the joyful battle and completely forgot their original intentions. The Venetians who had come out of their nests were chasing Justinian invisibly and took the defensive power of other camps, which means that Justinian has been buying time for those who were seeking help from the city.
