Chapter 7: The Confrontation Under the City

Justinian's sharp questioning immediately made many soldiers under Justinian's command feel extremely ashamed, and for a moment the bows and arrows that had been drawn were loosened again.

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

"Lord Justinian, I think you seem to have some misunderstanding about us..."

Musvar stopped Romanus Ducas, who was already furious, but looked at Justinian in the city calmly and explained. Invisibly, in a few words, the man downplayed the tense atmosphere just now, Musvar

Val saw at a glance that the soldiers guarding the city around him were shaken by Justinian's questioning, and then interrupted Justinian's words. At this moment, the only way to stop this was to seize his momentum.

"However, I don't think there is any misunderstanding. Lord Musvar, if I didn't have this army behind me this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to say those words just now." Justinian raised his eyes and looked at Muswar.

Val, said coldly, even though he knew that the other party was just a jester under Theodore,

However, the instigator of all this is undoubtedly this man. Instead, it is the frustrated Romanus Ducas. Although he is now the military count of the empire, it is not enough to be taken seriously by Justinian, so it is Mu

Svar, a Saracen, made Justinian somewhat fearful.

As soon as Justinian finished speaking, an angry voice came from the city, it was Zeodore Cephalon on the other side.

"Presumptuous, Justinian, you are too arrogant. Do you know who you are talking to? With your status, you dare to be so rude. You brought so many people here. Not only did you not dismount to apologize, but you said so

Kuang Yan, don’t you want to start a rebellion?”

Although the man with a fierce look and a soft heart was frightened when he saw the army behind Justinian in front of him, he could only bite the bullet since he had openly broken up with the other party.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whooshing sound and the sound of something fast tearing through the air. Then his eyes flashed, and an arrow grazed his cheek and nailed the nail behind him.

On the city wall, the man who had just reacted quickly squatted down with his head in his hands and panicked!

It turned out to be a bow and arrow, and it was only a short distance away from killing the unsuspecting Zeodor Cephalon.

At this time, a lazy and indifferent voice came from the city, and Justinian said: "I am indeed arrogant, but our Lord Zeodore Cephalon is still as greedy for life and afraid of death as ever!" Then Justinian said

A burst of laughter came from the military formation behind him, which made Zeodor Cephalon even more embarrassed.

He was very annoyed, and looking down, the man who shot the arrow just now was Arslan, the Turkic man who followed Justinian every step of the way. It was his archery skills that made Zeodore Cephalon, who was so fierce on the city wall just now, ashamed.

After the incident, even the Byzantine soldiers on the city became commotion because of the officer's embarrassment.

Even Romanus Ducas, who had been dissuaded by Musvar before, couldn't help it. Such a move did not put him in the slightest. The irritable young noble couldn't help but shouted angrily: "

Justinian, don't bully others too much! I am here on behalf of my father, Prince Theodore, so don't think that I can't do anything to you like before."

However, this played right into Justinian's hands, "Really? Then I'll wait and see!" Justinian, who retorted, had no fear of Romanus Dukas. On the contrary, he was deliberately irritating the other party and testing him.

The opponent's trump card.

But just when Romanus was about to have an attack, Musvar interrupted the conversation and said loudly: "Master Justinian, you misunderstood. His Highness Romanus only came to reward the front line on the order of the prince.

He is just a soldier and has no ill intentions."

"There is no malice? If there is no malice, then why did you seize my military power without authorization? I remember that His Royal Highness did not deprive me of the command of the fourth company!" Although Justinian did not press forward and shouted, but

His plain words still sounded like a critical mass, and the reason for all this was that the elite soldiers and generals behind him commanded the city of Tripolis.

Everyone in the country was afraid. Once a conflict broke out between the two sides, the consequences would be serious and irreparable. Even Romanus, who hated Justinian so much, had to hesitate. He was sent by his father to go south this time.

, if it fails, it will undoubtedly seriously damage his impression in his mind. Romanus Ducas is not willing to see this scene anyway.

But compared to the others who were already panicking, Muswar remained calm.

"Lord Justinian, don't forget that the fourth company is the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Prince, and His Highness Romanus has the power to dispatch."

"But they are now the army of the empire under my command, not any private army!" Justinian made no concessions in this regard, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife so that no one dared to look at him.

"What's more, the city gates are now closed and the defenders on the city are fully armed. Is this what you call no malice?" Of course, Justinian would not believe such a ridiculous answer at all, fearing that the other party had already done so before.

Be prepared and think of him

He had no choice but to become a turtle in the urn and get caught without any help. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. At this time, the situation of both parties has been completely reversed. However, from the few words he said before, Justinian noticed clues. Sure enough, just like Justinian

As Ni guessed, the current situation in Peloponnese has not yet completely stabilized. In fact, Theodore was not so anxious to burn bridges across the river, and what he did in Tripolis was probably Romanus Ducas.

of self-assertion.

On the other side, Musvar acted as the spokesperson of Romanus Ducas and replied in a deep voice: "Although the Latins in the north have surrendered, it does not mean that the threat has been completely eliminated, does it not, Chas

Lord Dinnie?"

"Then if that's the case, then open the door and let my army enter the city." Justinian suddenly raised his voice, like a sharp sword stabbing the vital point without mercy or hesitation, but this made those at the top of the city suddenly feel nervous.

How is this possible? At this time, they still have the confidence to rely on the city walls of Tripolis. But if such a huge army enters the city now, once the situation gets out of control and Justinian suddenly launches an attack, none of them can stop it.

.

But for this, the Saracen on the city was already prepared and calm, "Of course Lord Justinian is right, but I still can't agree to your request. That's because Lord Justinian
