"His Royal Highness Princess Odosia has repeatedly told me to protect you, not to mention that you are the heir of Moria who was personally appointed by Anastasius. As long as I am here, you should not think about this kind of dangerous thing." The chief guard Saleus, who was standing by, saw Justinian's thoughts at the moment.

The one who was originally planning to be responsible for the ambush and commanded in the haystack was Justinian himself. If Arslan and Saleus had not stood up to oppose it at the same time, their willful lord would have to charge himself.

Justinian couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the words of Saleus around him. He felt regretful just now because he lost the opportunity to come to the battle formation in person. But there was no way. After all, he would go step by step toward the real superior, and one day he would say goodbye to all this. Now he is only commanding a war of thousands or hundreds of people, but sooner or later he will have to assume the responsibilities shouldered by famous generals of the Byzantine Empire and command thousands of people to gallop across the battlefield. At that time, the one that moves his whole body will no longer rely on his personal courage.

Justinian waved his hand and said unhappily: "Not as exaggerated as you said. I just rose up in a moment. Okay, okay, since I have agreed to you, I will naturally not break my promise. Go and take people down and count them, and see how the casualties are."

Seeing that his own adults took the initiative to change the topic, Saleus was not good to say anything, so he took his people to the valley where the battle was coming to an end, preparing to organize people to clean the last battlefield.

Looking at the figure of Saleus leaving, Justinian breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he let out a long time, a joking laugh like a silver bell came from behind.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that our Governor Justinian would have such a time of embarrassment!"

It was Antonia Doria's voice, and behind Justinian was the Italian girl who was disguised. She was also wearing light leather armor like ordinary soldiers. If you didn't look closely, you would never have imagined that this beautiful boy dressed in a clean and handsome manner was actually a young teenage girl. After helping Justinian conquer Thessalonica, as agreed, Antonia would take this opportunity to leave Genoa's eyes and ears and ears and leave here to a safe place. But the result was that with the insistence of the Italian girl, Justinian had to agree to bring her to Bulgaria again.

Looking at the girl's lively eyes, Justinian said meaningfully: "This is not thanks to you, otherwise why should I come here without any effort? I hope you will not make any mistakes in the news." Although the Bulgarian civil war is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of, to be fair, Justinian is not prepared to come so soon. It was just that Antonia told him a piece of news when Thessalonika was recaptured not long ago, which made him feel a little unable to sit still.

"Don't worry! Can you still not trust me?" The girl curled her lips and said with dissatisfaction on her toes.

"Cough... Cough cough, there is no trust, no distrust. After all, Genoa's proverb says that people who fully believe in partners are born fools, right?" Seeing the girl Justinian, who was so close to him, he said in a vague way, and then Saleus and Arslan, who had counted the casualties, also came out of the mountain pass. He then walked up to ask about the situation inside to ease the atmosphere just now.

"How is the situation? I think it's not going to be more than the loss I estimate!" Justinian asked with a slight smug look at his masterpiece, and the answers of the two subordinates did not disappoint him.

"Don't worry, sir, we didn't lose anyone. This battle was so exciting!" Aarslan, who laughed, waved his fists and said excitedly. In the valley, they completely crushed the Bulgarian army one-sidedly, especially after the opponent's leader was killed, they wiped out this cavalry without any effort. In addition to seizing a large amount of weapons and armor, they also captured all the hundreds of prisoners of the opposite horses, which can be said to have made a lot of money. Since Justinian has always maintained military discipline, it is the first time since he went to the expedition of Thessalonika to achieve such a fruitful result.

"That's good." Justinian nodded with satisfaction. Although only hundreds of people were eliminated, the armor and flags of these Bulgarian warriors were urgently needed by the new Moria army, whose equipment is still simple, and it was considered an urgent solution.

"But Lord Justinian..." At this time, Saleus, who was standing beside him, seemed to have made some suggestions.

"What's wrong?"

"The enemy has an infantry army behind. Do we want it..." The commander of the guard who was still unsatisfied with the results of the battle just now, obviously he had some thoughts, and could not help but ask for war and suggested to Justinian.

But this idea was directly denied by Justinian. The young man shook his head confidently and said, "The purpose of our battle has been achieved. After the remaining Bulgarians came here, they would naturally not dare to act rashly again when they saw this scene. Now we must not be tempted by our eyes and be distracted. It is indeed not difficult to destroy that army, but it is dangerous if it arouses the alertness of other forces around us. Now, it is the top priority to bring the body of the man named Boris back to see our Baron Fest."

Due to the rugged mountain road in Bulgaria, the army in Justinian's hands was divided into three routes and there is still no round yet. Justinian did not want to rashly arouse the alertness of the great nobles in Bulgaria before joining the army. More importantly, he had an important thing to complete this trip.

And that thing cannot be separated from Antonia Doria's help, and ordered Arslan and Saleus to assemble the soldiers. Justinian turned around and looked at the place where the Italian girl was just now, but at some point the little girl ran to where she had gone.

Huh~ It's so troublesome, you're really going to get angry with me!
