Chapter 27 Aftermath
Looking at the scene in front of him, Justinian said coldly: "Is this what you told me before about the little misunderstanding with the Vadaritai people? But it doesn't seem to be the case from this formation!"
"Check... Lord Justinian, why are you here?" Ivanko, the garrison commander who was caught off guard, stammered and couldn't help but become a little nervous. He had previously received a letter from Count Connodine.
, the superiors ordered him to cooperate with the young Greek man in front of him in everything. The other party had just mentioned the matter of the Vadaritai people in front of him, and then he wanted to kill the Vadaritai people in front of him without mercy.
It doesn't make sense anyway.
"Why can't I come? This banquet seems to have been prepared for me, right? I just finished talking with Mr. Alexander, so I came here to take a look. But I didn't expect that Mr. Ivanko would actually do this to me.
A surprise." Justinian said coldly.
Ivanko, who had some fear in his eyes, quickly defended: "Lord Justinian, this is a misunderstanding. These Vadaritai people have always been restless. I just punished them a little, and they wanted to assassinate me.
Please listen to my explanation..."
"There is no need to explain. I have already learned about everything you have done here in the past two years through Lord Alexander. I think you should know well what you have done..." Justin
Ni said with an unkind expression, and at this moment the stunned guard commander Ivanko discovered that his adjutant, Alexander, was standing behind Justinian with his eyes flashing and his attitude ambiguous.
And listening to what Justinian said just now, Ivanko also noticed that his deputy seemed to have said something to Justinian that he shouldn't have said.
At this time, even if he belatedly realized something, he immediately cursed Alexander Orki in his heart for actually betraying him and joining the Greek in front of him. But Ivanko could only suppress his anger and murderous intention at this time.
While asking his guards to put down their weapons and relieve the siege of the Vadaritai, he argued desperately to Justinian.
Explained: "Your Excellency Justinian, I did have some mistakes in my approach. Forcing the Vadarites to enlist was also a last resort to prevent Fort Fracha from being captured by the Magyars. Although I imprisoned Vadarites.
The tribal leader of the Tai people and some other tribal elders, but they really did this out of desperation. And the reason why I did this was actually..."
"Enough!"
Before he finished speaking, Ivanko's defense of what he had done was immediately interrupted by Justinian. At this time, in the entire noble hall, other Bulgarian officers and soldiers suddenly discovered that the following team was investigating.
The Turkic army that came with Stinian actually surrounded the place.
It seems that the Greek young man sent here this time is not an easy character to deal with. Furthermore, it seems that the second-in-command of Fort Fracha, Lieutenant Alexander Orki, is on the opposite side of Ivanko's defense. Now everyone
Everyone also saw the situation clearly, and naturally they knew what was going on and did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and Justinian looked coldly at Ivanko, who was still arrogant before, and said: "Since Count Connotin has handed over all the defense here to me, then I
You have the right to handle all matters here, don't you? I am not in the mood or have the time to listen to your explanation now. I'd better tell the Earl of Connodine what you said when the time comes! But now all your duties must be
All are lifted, and the defense of the entire castle will be taken over by my people."
The order was given decisively, and as soon as Justinian finished speaking, several Turkic guards behind him stood up to escort Ivan Kogils, who was left behind at Vracaburg and was dismissed on the spot.
"You...you are simply avenging a private vendetta! Who of you dare to touch me!" I never expected that the first thing this newly arrived Greek young man would do here was to seize his military power. Now he was forced to defend himself.
The Gal man did not care about the sudden change of color in many people and pulled out the long sword for protection from his waist. But then he found in despair that the other people around him, his subordinates, were all silent, not a single one of them.
It means taking the initiative to stand up and speak for him.
Obviously most people acquiesced in Justinian's order. After all, the real person in charge of Fort Fracha was Alexander Orki, the deputy guard. In fact, most of the officers disagreed with this unqualified guard.
, so they did not react much when Ivanko was deprived of military power by Justinian.
Looking at the bright long knife pulled out from the opponent's hand, Justinian calmly asked his men to retreat. Instead, he walked forward, calmly looking at the frightened mediocre officer in front of him and said:
"If you disobey my order in this way, it will be a double crime! Before doing this, it is best for you to think carefully. Do you dare to use your sword against me?!"
Justinian, who raised his voice, ignored the weapon in the opponent's hand and took a step forward. Although this move made Arslan and Salius behind him tense, it undoubtedly defeated the opponent's last psychological defense.
.
With a "bang" sound, Ivanko's scimitar slipped from his hand. At this time, the two guards behind Justinian also stepped forward and cuffed the shackles on the man who could only be captured in despair.
Former garrison commander of Fort Fracha.
…
…
…
Soon, Ivan Kogils, who seemed to have lost his soul, was taken down by Justinian's people, and this process from beginning to end was in the eyes of other Bulgar officers in the entire castle, and they were all silent.
He was silent, seeming to acknowledge what Justinian had just done, and no one stood up to express dissatisfaction.
At this time, looking at the haggard Alexander Orki beside him, Justinian immediately issued a new appointment after punishing him.
"Deputy Chief of Defense Alexander..."
"Yes, Lord Justinian."
"Now that Ivanko, the garrison chief, has been temporarily removed from his post due to crimes, the person currently in charge of Vratsa Castle must be replaced by a suitable person to be responsible for commanding the Bulgarian army here. I think you should be the most concerned about this.
It's familiar, but I'll leave this task to you." He said lightly,
As if he was just saying a very ordinary thing, however, the more lightly Justinian made such an order, the more the other Bulgar nobles whispered behind their backs, thinking that the collapse of the garrison commander Ivanko that happened tonight was just a matter of fear.
In all likelihood, he has an inseparable relationship with their deputy garrison chief.
