The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield filled the entire sky, gloomy clouds enveloped all this, and the rain drizzled down everything on the earth, diluting the strong smell of blood. But this still cannot hide the air after the end of a cruel war.

It exudes that disgusting smell.

That is the breath of death...

Although the Byzantines won this victory, the price was tragic. Fort Wiscarri paid two-thirds of the defenders' casualties. If it was an ordinary battle, this proportion of losses would be enough to make any

The elite army was defeated and put down its weapons and surrendered.

But because of hatred and fear of the Venetian atrocities in Constantinople, under the leadership of Justinian, the Byzantines finally guarded the castle tightly.

However, no one was celebrating the victory, and people were sobbing from the loss of relatives and friends everywhere. They separated the corpses of their compatriots and enemies, and burned them with their bones.

Looking at the scene in front of you, Justinian was exhausted with the sword in his hand and felt lost. Although he defeated these Venetians, the price he paid was too painful. For these Greeks, it was only a victory.

, but there is no blow to Venice at all.

Due to the timely rescue of the Venetian Navy at the last moment, Venice finally fled safely after only a few thousand people's losses, and most of the casualties were just vassals and mercenaries to which Venice belonged.

All of this finally made Justinian realize the gap between him and the behemoth of Venice. His power is still as unworthy as duckweed. Even if any noble in Venice is slightly targeted

Enough to completely destroy him.

Only then did Justinian realize that the success he had made him too arrogant. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, he would have died at this time without a place to bury him.

And at this moment, Neuski and Arslan, covered in blood and unkempt faces, were also walking towards him.

Looking at Neuski who was walking up, Justinian came to his senses, "Neuski..." But before he finished speaking, the extremely strong Valanji barbarian in front of him was cruel.

He punched Justinian in his eyes and punched Justinian into the mud and couldn't struggle for a while.

"This punch is a punishment for your previous advice that you did not listen to!"

Neuski said calmly, despite what he said, there was no slight anger in his eyes. Then he pulled Justinian up from the ground and continued, "But no matter what, you have saved it."

You have done your best in this city. You still have a long way to go, and it is impossible to never make mistakes. Despite such a great sacrifice, look at the eyes of those soldiers, even though they are full of

It was you who let them know that Latin people have nothing to fear. This is enough." The man saw Justinian's hesitation at a glance, and this pair of aspiring

It is undoubtedly very fatal if one cannot untie the knot. It is precisely because of this that Neusky gave Justinian a punch that made him wake up and said these words, which made him deafening.

And this sentence undoubtedly touched a string in Justinian's heart, and the boy who stood up slowly seemed to have strength again. Suddenly, Justinian reacted and his eyes were filled with strength.

The scorching pain couldn't help but grin and touched his bruised eyes and said, "Can you not be gentler? You actually hit me... Hiss~"

Seeing Justinian recover quickly, Neuski felt relieved and smiled and said, "If you don't hit it harder, you guy may not have woken up yet!"

"I really want to thank you." Justinian glared at the other party again in anger, and then changed into a serious face. "How can you come here? The Tatar cavalry and the battle at sea

The ship is probably not your work!" This is what he wondered the most about everything that happened on the battlefield before. The best result that Justinian had expected for Tripolis' reinforcements was just confrontation with the Venetians.

The enemy had to give up the siege, but he never expected that Neuski and his friends not only appeared at the last moment but also severely damaged the Venetians. This was undoubtedly due to the unknown fleet and the Tatar cavalry.

Seeing that Justinian was also so confused, Neusky immediately told Justinian everything about what they had encountered the Genoa fleet on the way.

The more you hear Justinian's expression becomes more strange, and he looks at Neuski and asks, "Is it such a coincidence?" Even if Bantic returned to Genoa from the east and met them halfway, although he had a little friendship before,

If you do this, once you are captured by the Venetians, you will inevitably have serious diplomatic consequences. This is by no means a decision that Bantik dares to make.

At this moment, Arslan, who had not spoken at first, suddenly interrupted: "Maybe it was not a coincidence, but they did it on purpose."

"Is it just to revenge on the Venetians? But such risks really do not conform to their character." Justinian judged decisively without hesitation. For his own sake, Genoa could not openly break up with the Venetians, right?

, with his current identity, there is no such value at all.

But Neuski shook his head and said, "What Arslan said is not unreasonable. Maybe this is not a resolution made by the Genoa noble parliament, but this does not mean that no one instructs Bantic to do so and mobilize a

It is actually not very difficult to support overseas fleets. Justinian, it seems that you owe a great favor to a certain big man in Genoa!”

As soon as this said, Justinian immediately reacted and remembered the gold coin of the oath that Andreidoria gave him to him, which was still in his locket. This is the only explanation, Justin

Ni knew very well that the biggest reason why Murad, the Turkic mercenary, stayed was Bantik. He believed that the other party was not so kind, so there was only one possibility, that was that someone instructed him behind him. And the only thing he had with him was

The person who is in love is Andre Doria. It is obvious that this time, Bantik's sudden appearance was really the man who was secretly manipulating it. But such a big favor made Justinian

The expression suddenly became a little weird. Why did the other party help him so much? And what was also the meticulous awe of Justinian for the easy control of the other party thousands of miles away. No matter how you look at it, the other party is worthy of being the Doria family.
