Chapter 50 Justinian's Counterattack
"Absolutely not. I firmly object. This is too dangerous!" Odosia said angrily at Justinian who insisted on her opinion. Like the young man in front of her, she refused to make any concessions at all. She had just moved from the monastery on the mountain to a safe place. It was dawn and the snow was slowing down. Justinian was about to prepare to sneak into the city of Tripolis alone, which made Princess Odosia unacceptable.
But Justinian's seemingly peaceful words were still firm and unmoved by the persuasion of Princess Odosia who cared about him. He said calmly: "This is the cause and effect I planted, so at least I must let me settle it myself. More importantly, there are other people waiting for me in the city of Tripolis. I have let them down once, and now I can't let them down again when I have returned."
"Do you know that Leosgros in Tripolis may be waiting for you to pass by and set up a net of heaven and earth. How can you deal with them alone?" The excited Odosia certainly understood that Justinian could not sit idly by and watch the safety of Anastasius. Even though the old man's life was like a candle in the wind, she still couldn't let Justinian continue to take risks. Indeed, this big boy was like a gambler with superb skills, winning thrilling bets again and again with his desperate bets, and grew to become their hope today. However, even if the lucky person would lose all the game in the bet one day. Odosia said this time that she would definitely stop Justinian from being so willful.
But Justinian shook his head calmly, "I know you are worried about me, but I beg you to believe me this time. I am definitely not taking risks, nor am I relying on me to fight against my enemies alone. It is just to make up for my previous mistakes!" His voice was full of earnestness, and his warm eyes were full of firm eyes, which made Odosia feel a headache when she saw it.
At this time, Justinian was really like a willful child, and he could not convince him no matter what. But the more this happened, the more Odosia could not sit idly by.
"Even that is not possible! I will never let you leave here today." For the first time, this woman with a always gentle personality would have such a big temper, just like Justinian's strict sister, unyielding. But this excitement made her mind feel tired. Suddenly, the fatigue made Odosia's already weak body finally unable to hold on. She felt a hazy feeling in front of her eyes and her feet fell into Justinian's arms.
"Odosia!"
Justinian's heart suddenly tightened at this moment, afraid that it was the side effect caused by entering the mental space before. After all, the fragments of the Ark of the covenant were just said to be nothing serious, but it did not mean that nothing was wrong. I looked carefully until I found that Odosia's breathing was calm but her face was a little pale. Justinian felt relieved. It seemed that she was just a moment of emotional excitement, and the body of this weak woman was too weak, so she fell asleep temporarily.
Looking at the woman in her arms, Justinian's eyes were filled with guilt. When his eyes fell on his hands that had been scarred on the mountain, he saw that he was neatly bandaged with torn cloth strips. It was Odosia who insisted on tearing the hem of the skirt for Justinian on the way down the mountain. And these fell into his eyes, Justinian couldn't help but sigh.
Please forgive me, Your Highness Odosia, please let me act willfully again!
Although he knew that the princess was really thinking about him, he had to go this time. At this time, Odosia fell asleep, which was undoubtedly the best result for them, otherwise Justinian would not be able to imagine how he would convince this woman.
"Master Justinian...we are ready." At this time, behind Justinian, the Turkic warriors who had been dismissed were already waiting for Justinian's order. These people had proved everything with their actions along the way, so Justinian was also unreserved of them at this moment.
"Very good." Justinian used his fox fur robe to lay on the ground and carefully lay the sleeping princess flat on it, turned around and looked at them, "I have a task to you now."
"Follow your orders, Lord Justinian." Knowing that Justinian was firm this time, these Turkic warriors knew that no matter how they persuaded, they could not convince the Lord. The only thing they could do was to do was to try their best to assist him. Although they thought that what this young man did was crazy, at this moment, these Turks were convinced by him, and being able to fight side by side with him was their greatest honor.
Looking at the Turkic subordinates who were eager to try, Justinian handed them the turquoise stone that had been prepared long ago, which is why he had prevented the Ark of the Covenant from swallowing it. This stone will determine the direction of everything that will change the fate of the empire. If he was not wrong, Leosgros should have one in his hand at this time, but what Grand Duke Anastasius gave him was naturally a fake one.
Justinian calmly gave his order: "First take Princess Odosia and the others to a safe place, remember not to expose your whereabouts, nor do you act recklessly. Then bring this to Arslan. If I am not wrong, Leosgros should have sent someone to Andravida. Show this thing to the chief guard Saleus, who is stationed there, and he will definitely believe you. And next you will go to Arslan for me.
It is crucial for them to convey my next plan, and this plan will also determine the fate of the entire Molia and everyone in the future. Promise me! You must abide by the agreement with me this time, do you understand?" Justinian said with an extremely solemn expression. For a moment, the subordinates in front of him also felt the deep mood of the young man at this moment, and understood the importance of the task they shouldered this time. Then he looked at each other and nodded.
"Don't worry, Lord Justinian!" The Turkic soldiers who agreed in unison showed a decisive look on their faces. With their honor and courage, they swear to agree to Justinian's request, and they will die.
