Chapter 6 Cunning Fox Homecoming

The number of troops under Justinian actually exceeded theirs!

"Impossible!" Romanus Dukas and his colleague Musval blurted out. When Justinian set off from Ilofanburg, he was the only one of his own guards and Turkic mercenaries under his command. After several battles with the Achaia vassal state, he had already lost a lot of troops. How could he have so many troops? But at this moment, Zeodosefalon's face obviously did not look like he was lying at all, which made the two of them feel confused again. Then he looked at each other and asked Zeodosefalon to lead the way, preparing to climb to the top of the city to see what was going on.

But when they just climbed the city of Tripolis and looked towards the south, they were stunned and almost unstable... Looking at the incredible scene in front of them, Musval and Romanus felt that they could not breathe.

The scene in front of them completely shocked them.

The sunset was about to end, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, a solemn and neat army appeared in the sight of the people of Tripolis. The fully armed cavalry in front, and the heavy infantry with spears behind them slowly followed in an orderly manner. The Tatar cavalry and Turkic cavalry were on the left and right with a grand momentum. Why did these barbaric barbarians appear under Justinian's command completely out of Musval and Romanus' expectation.

From a distance, the military flag opposite was the first time Romanus saw. The flag was painted with a white fox. Justinian's army walked out along the disrepair of Roman Avenue in Tripolis, and then gathered into a huge formation and soldiers were at the city. No wonder people like Zeodosephalon who had been through battle for a long time were so nervous. The strength of the army brought by Justinian was completely beyond their estimates. Whether in quantity or quality, looking at the armor and weapons worn by these soldiers were extremely dazzling in the setting sun, the people in the city were suddenly nervous. What if Justinian knew what happened in Tripolis at this moment? Romanus couldn't help but think that the premise for their previous plan to be established was that their power was enough to suppress Justinian.

But now the boy found such a powerful army from somewhere, even more powerful than the defenders of Tripolis.

Romanus Ducas and Musval, who were so nervous that they kept their breathing, looked at each other. Justinian's vanguard's light troops were already at the city. If there was a conflict between the two sides, the result would be very unfavorable to them.

"What should we do, His Highness Romanus?" Since Zeodosefalon had broken up with Justinian and responded that Romanus had occupied Tripolis City, he could only count on the son of the prince beside him, otherwise his fate could be imagined.

However, Romanus, who witnessed the scene in front of him, was actually panicked, but Muswar beside him poked his back and made the young man calm down quickly.

"Your Highness, you still have to take charge of the overall situation now! Please order the army to line up immediately to prevent the other party from having bad intentions."

Romanus, who had come to his senses after being reminded by his teacher, nodded quickly and ordered: "The whole army is in line, be careful and be prepared to fight!"

"yes!"

Under the order of Romanus Ducas, the defenders of Tripolis immediately climbed the city tower and were ready for battle. Although he was not ready to fight Justinian, the most important thing at this moment was to never let Justinian outside the city realize that they were already afraid.

...

At the same time, Justinian had also found that the situation was wrong under the city of Tripolis. If it were normal, the garrison commander Leo should have left the city to greet him. What's more, the flag flying on the top of the city was no longer the red double-headed eagle that had been before, but the purple Labran cross flag of Agrignon.

It is obvious that Tripolis has changed hands at this moment.

On the top of the city, a fully armed archer stood behind the city wall, watching the arrival of himself and the army behind him, Justinian understood that the people who controlled the city at this time were obviously not good.

"As I guessed, since your use is over, the people of Epirus are ready to abandon you. They will never be so willing to let the Moria Military Region fall into the hands of you, an outsider." At this moment, Grand Duke Anastasius, who was leaning on a crutch, walked slowly down from the carriage, and after just a glance, he could guess the cause and effect.

"However, their confidence in doing that is that they hold the power in their hands, but now it is completely different. The people who have the power at this time are not them but me." Justinian replied lightly, as if there was no slight fluctuation in the slightest mood because Tripolis fell into the hands of others. But from those seemingly calm words, Anastasius heard a hint of coldness, and it was obvious that Justinian was angry.

I saw that the young man in front of me rode his horse slowly to the city gate, looking coldly at the countless archers aiming at him on the top of the city, without any fear, and shouted:

"What the hell is going on? Can anyone give me an explanation?"

At this moment, Romanus Ducas, who had already been waiting for the moment, leaned out after the city wall, looked at Justinian with a condescending expression.

"It's been a long time no see, Justinian."

However, he was suddenly interrupted by Justinian's angrily scolding, "I didn't ask you, Romanus, I'm asking them!" He rode on the war horse and questioned the soldiers on the top of the city with a look of shame. He was not surprised by Romanus' appearance. It was obvious that he was the person behind Musval. From the moment he realized Musval was ill-behaved, Justinian had already suspected this possibility.

But this made Romanus Ducas, who was snatched, look red and white. At this time, he was already the earl of the Prince's Son Empire, but Justinian was still as rude to him as before in Agrenion. However, the young nobleman who was about to get angry was suddenly stopped by Musval on the side.

On the other hand, Justinian's eyes glanced at every soldier on the city wall and said slowly: "We have all fought side by side. Your weapons should have pointed at the Latins. On the Alfios River, I will lead you out of the siege, but what reward have you given now?" Justinian's sharp words immediately made many soldiers under Justinian's command extremely ashamed, and the bow and arrow that had been pulled loose again for a moment.

But at this moment, Muswar's voice suddenly rang.
