"I think this is the first time we have met. I'm very happy to see you, Lord Justinian. Thank you for saving me from the Yankees before." As soon as we met, although there were still injuries on our body, Earl Simon stood up and thanked him humbly when he saw Justinian coming.

But Justinian said lightly: "There is nothing to thank for, it's just a way to do it. It's just a little reward for Grand Duke Borier's assistance to me in Thessalonica. But Earl Simon, you must be here to meet me alone, not just to talk about these things with me?"

It was precisely because the other party was so serious that Justinian took the time to see the Bulgarian in his busy schedule. He didn't want to hear any useless words, not to mention that the other party was like this on the surface, but his gratitude might not be sincere.

So Justinian chose to get straight to the point, he just wanted to get useful things from the other party's mouth-

Seeing Justinian like this, Earl Simon was a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was too lazy to even cover up, not a little embarrassed, but he was not angry and said with a smile: "Anyway, no matter what, I do want to thank you for your help, otherwise I would have no face to see Grand Duke Borier again when I go back."

"So what can you tell about? Ivan Assen or... the Venetians who left not long ago?"

"Sure enough, you have noticed it, so I'm talking too much." Earl Simon, who was a little surprised to hear Justinian ask, said with a little regret. It seems that Lovevi and the others have been targeted by Justinian for a long time, and their every move they make has not escaped his secret observation.

But Justinian shook his head and said, "No, this is indeed what I want to know. There should be other discoveries during your capture, otherwise you wouldn't care so much about the Venetians, right?" Justinian said calmly at a glance.

But this made Earl Simon smile bitterly, "I finally understand why Lord Connontin looked at you with admiration... Well... That's true. I did hide some content before. As for whether it will be helpful to you, it's hard to say."

Seeing the other party reacting so, although Justinian remained silent, he also secretly raised his ears because he had to make sure of this matter.

At this time, the Earl of Simon in front of me said the place name that Justinian had been waiting for, "Moldova. When I heard them talk about it, I mentioned this place. Although it was not true, I was sure it was there." The Bulgarian man said with great certainty. In fact, they had already had contact with the Venetians. The other party seemed to have no intention of intervening in the Bulgarian civil war at all, but they were very interested in passing through Bulgaria through Bulgaria, but they were sternly rejected by Grand Duke Borier. Now it seems that the purpose of the Venetians' trip was obviously there - Moldova.

It is the border area between Bulgaria, Hungary and the Ross, and it can be said to be the northernmost wild land. Although it is carefully studied, the north and central areas are forest grasslands and the south are grasslands. Although there are many rivers but most of them are short, they are still quite rich. However, for this reason, it is a paradise for nomadic peoples. Whether it is the Chins, Ross, or Magyars, the tribes are scattered and the people are brave, so no country has ever claimed sovereignty here. Therefore, personally, Earl Simon cannot see the purpose of the Venetians doing this, and what is the intention of going to that wild place.

However, what surprised him even more was that when Justinian learned the news, a smile that flashed across his face was captured by Simon at this moment.

Is there really something in Moldova worth the Venetians and this little fox of Moria to take a long journey? This makes Count Simon more speculation.

At this time, Justinian returned to his original state and said slowly: "Thank you for providing me with these useful information. I will take my subordinates to escort you back to Turnovo tomorrow." After that, Justinian turned around and left the Earl of Simon to take care of his body and then walked out of the tent.

At this time, Arslan and Saleus, who were waiting sideways, had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir Justinian, how are you?"

"As I expected, I ordered the entire army to camp here for a night, and then set off immediately tomorrow morning!" A cold light appeared in my eyes. Justinian gave the order, and Saleus and Arslan looked at each other. Although they were still unclear about Justinian's plan, their absolute trust made them choose to obey without asking more questions, and slowly retreated to convey the orders of their young commander to the entire army.

At this moment, the waves of the entire Bulgarian war were also stirred up...

...

...

...

The city of Tournovo, as the old capital of the Bulgarian Kingdom, was the place where the Assen royal family raised troops, thus opening the twelve-year war of independence with the empire.

Because of this, during the civil war between the Bulgarians, the nobles of the north and the south started a tug-of-war to fight for the place. Now it has reached the fourth month of the confrontation, but the two sides still have not started a decisive battle.

Even not long ago, the southern army suffered heavy losses in the Ograri Mountains and the passes in the Bellassa Mountains. However, the old Duke of Borier, who had always been irritated, had never intended to send troops to retaliate. This made many Bulgarian nobles under his command very puzzled, but they could do nothing, because they knew that all this was probably what the Earl of Connortin meant. With that person's status and prestige, no noble was above his command, so naturally there was no objection.

But at this moment, what was happening made many nobles feel very dissatisfied - that was that the Grand Duke Borier and the Earl of Connouting, whom they supported were actually negotiating with a Greek, who was the first Justinian who gave most people a bad impression in Thessalonika.

"Is this really good? That's a Greek, Grand Duke Borier and Earl Connortin did such a thing..."

"Yes, no matter what, the Greeks were suspected of being assassinated by His Majesty Karoyan. Isn't Ivan Asen and the others doing this right now?"

"I hope there will be no major problems. If Grand Duke Borier continues to be so indifferent, it may really disappoint most people."

...

The nobles were whispering, and most of them were not welcome to the uninvited guests who came to Bulgaria at this moment. But what they didn't know now was that in the camp, the Earl of Connortin, the leader of the nobles, was begging Justinian to intervene in this civil war that should belong to the Bulgarians themselves.

"I can't hear it wrong, right?" Justinian couldn't help but ask in surprise as he looked at the scene.

The answer I got was yes. Connontin said calmly: "After I received the news that the Ivan Grand Guards rushed back, I guessed that you would come here. Thank you very much for saving Earl Simon, and as the earl of the kingdom, I beg you to help His Highness Boriel win this war with one arm!"

But Justinian seemed to have no intention of this, shook his head and replied, "Why should I join the war? This is your war, isn't it? You have already known the purpose of my visit here. Earl Earl, have you gone to Moldova for that. What's more, I have only brought such a few people. You wouldn't think that I can easily interfere with the civil war in Bulgaria with such a few people?"

"But now Grand Duke Borier needs your help!" Seeing that Justinian had intervened unintentionally, the man with a sincere expression still solemnly requested.

Looking at this scene at this moment, Justinian was very strange to the other party, "I am a Roman. My army entered Bulgaria to make many Bulgarian nobles afraid, but you actually want me to intervene in the civil war between you, are you right?" To be fair, Bulgaria has always been the primary threat by Justinian, but at present it is far from the time to deal with him, so he has no intention of intervening to help anyone. Even though Boriel had lent his troops to him, he has now rescued Simon, the Bulgarian count, and the two sides are even.

Even the man Connouting in front of him promised such generous conditions was not worth taking risks for Justinian. Seeing the other party's attitude, Justinian had already discovered some hidden information, so he was even more reluctant to get into this muddy water.

In this regard, Connontin finally chose to tell what he knew: "Because Ivan Assen has bribed the Magyars from the north and came south to act as his thugs. They have already tore through the default agreement in this war, which is why we have been holding back all the time. If we encounter an ambush, the charge of the Magyar cavalry is enough to completely destroy our combat effectiveness. Sooner or later, if we continue to confront this, Grand Duke Borier will be threatened. Therefore, your help is of great importance to us to win this war - you will never be willing to let Ivan Assen as the Tsar!" Not long ago, Count Connontin got news about the Northern Army from his own spy, and the most important of them was the Magyars' going south. Those nomads located in Bulgaria and Hungary have always been border troubles in northern Bulgaria, like tigers and wolves.

Now, in order to seize the throne of the Tsar, Ivan Assen actually made a big fuss with Hu to recruit these Magyars to serve him with a lot of money, and how much impact this would have on the entire battle situation is self-evident. Therefore, Connontin made up his mind to ask Justinian to lend a helping hand to help Grand Duke Borier win the victory of this civil war, and even gave the return of the Macedonian area that had previously occupied the Roman Empire as compensation.

But Justinian frowned slightly and said, "But I have no time to delay any further when I go to Moldova. I have said that I have no intention of interfering in the civil war in your country." In fact, it is not that I am not interested in the conditions offered by the Earl of Connouting in front of me. It is just that since it has been confirmed that the Venetians and their own goals this time are the same, time cannot be delayed at all. He must make this matter the primary rather than work hard for these Bulgarians who have no interest in him.

But the Count Connouting, who was flatly rejected, still said unwillingly: "If I tell you another secret, will you consider it? This is not only related to the future of the Roman Empire, but also to your own. I see and hear what I saw in Thessalonica that day, I believe you are not willing to be restrained by the Ducas family of Epirus! But just a new army of Moria is afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Ducas family of a long-standing background, and my news may help you."

“…”

"Have you heard of the Vadatari?" The man who pretended to be mysterious paused for a moment and finally said this sentence, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. As soon as he said this, a stone suddenly aroused the waves of Justinian's heart. Even though he had been able to control his emotions, he was a little excited and lost his composure.

"What did you say?!" Justinian said in a trembling voice. Obviously he did not expect the other party to say this to him. Of course he knew that the Vadataris were the two empires known as the Vadataris. The Vadataris and the Vadataris Guards were both elites among the elites of the Imperial Guards. Although as the imperial military was declining and the two gradually declined and even disappeared, they still left their reputation.

Especially Vadatari, some people say that they were the Peneg Turks who were eliminated and surrendered, or the Kumens and even the Magyars from the grasslands. It can be said that there are many different opinions and it is very mysterious, but one thing is certain that they are definitely the elite among the elites of the empire. Unfortunately, after the fall of Constantinople, there was no news about them again. In history, after the Nicean Empire rebuilt this army, it had degenerated into a ranger that had been equipped with lightweight equipment. Where can we achieve the situation of war?
