Chapter 9 Turnaround

"There is a small boat for escape behind you. You sit there and leave here. I will hold the Venetians as much as possible to buy you time. Antonia! Hurry!" said the old man without looking back, and the hair and hair of the halberd in the wind and rain were like the angry beard of a lion. Even in such a dangerous situation, Christopher still did not panic. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, it seemed that it could not crush his body.

The old man had already put his life and death aside. At this time, he immediately made a decision. If this continues, they will not be able to survive. For the sake of the current plan, only he can hold on here and restrain the Venetians to gain a glimmer of life for Antonia Doria.

The Genoese girl on the boat was also very clear about this, but looking at her thin back, Antonia clearly understood that she could not do it at all. She thought that the cold blood of Genoa had already assimilated herself and sacrificing others for self-interest had become accustomed to it, but before the last warm memories in her heart were erased, she could not abandon the old man in front of her who had grown up like a relative.

"If I don't leave, there must be another way. Grandpa Chris, let's leave here together." Antonia stubbornly rejected the old man's arrangement.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Christopher growled in pain: "Then none of us can survive. Child, I am already dying, and don't you have other more important things to do!" In this case, it is too big to make a goal for everyone to break through together, and it is unrealistic. Apart from sacrificing yourself to hold the Venetians, there is no second way to go.

Just as Christopher was about to let the guards around him leave with Antonia, the Venetians, who had completely wiped out the Genoa striker, finally launched a counterattack. The huge warship crashed over and boarded the entire deck and made a crunch sound, as if the entire hull was about to break from the middle. Everyone was unstable by the violent collision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, countless Venetian sailors also jumped onto the deck and rushed up.

"Kill all the dirty Genoese and let the ocean wash away the filth on them, so that they will not pollute every inch of the soil on the ground!"

As a cold and contempt cries fell, the Venetians began to kill. For them, killing the Genoese was not unacceptable, even if they were both Italians and Christians. The hatred for the past century has continued to drown out all reason and warmth, and the Genoese have the same attitude towards the Venetians.

In the roar of anger, sailors waving short swords or spears fought each other on the narrow decks and couldn't stand apart. So much so that they squeezed each other and didn't even bother to see the faces of the person in front of them. They only remembered that they would slash around in their clothes and waved their swords.

The killing spread rapidly like a tide at this moment. Even if everyone in Genoa fights to the death, they still cannot stop the Venetian sailors like locusts. It is obvious that if this Genoa warship continues like this, it is only a matter of time before everyone will die.

Looking at this scene, Christopher, who was holding the sword, could not help but close his eyes at this moment - it was too late for him to send Antonia away again. It seemed that this time the Venetians were really cruel and ruthless to do things. This was the first time he had encountered such a crazy enemy.

...

...

Seeing that the situation seemed to be a foregone conclusion, looking at the final resistance of the dying Genoese on the ship, Ranieri Dandoro's eyes flashed through his eyes. With the fall of Constantinople, the reputation of the Dandoro family reached its peak, but a series of resistances from the Greeks also caused the Dandoro family to be disgraced. His father, former consul, Enrique Dandoro, passed away suddenly. In his opinion, the culprit of all this was undoubtedly the Genoese who were fueling the fire behind it.

But at this moment, his eyes were not only happy, but also a little deeper hidden in it. In fact, it was him who deliberately leaked the news that the Patriarch Peter X was hiding in Moldava, and what Ranieri wanted was the Genoese who had a Black Sea stronghold and would never be without action. Therefore, he had already made full preparations for this departure. No one except him knew this reason, including the Seinvenir who was unknown to everything around him, in a sense, he was actually his own decision - and doing so undoubtedly took huge risks. Ranieri Dandoro knew very well, but the benefits he obtained were immeasurable.

Genoa and Venice have been incompatible for a hundred years, and there has been no such thing as a delay, and it is just because there are still people within the two sides who are undecided. If they can take this opportunity to ignite the war, the Dandoro family, which has a huge shipyard, will inevitably have a status that will come out of the current trough. If he takes advantage of the opportunity to win Genoa's bridgehead Kafa in the Black Sea, the Dandoro family will inevitably revive again.

Although he took the risk, he was ready to retreat fully. If he was questioned by his mother country, he would just push him to the Greeks and the French barbarians in Constantinople. Considering all of this, the winner's smile finally appeared on Ranieri's face.

But at this moment, Ranieridandoro, who was slightly distracted just now, suddenly burst into an exclaim in his ears-

"Be careful, the enemy attacks again!"

Burning with raging flames, the huge asphalt barrels smashed down from the sky, dragged a long distance among the crowd that could not be avoided, and a huge hole was smashed on the deck. Wherever they passed, all the Venetian soldiers were burned with skin and flesh. Even Ranieri Dandoro was almost affected just now. In addition to being shocked, all the Venetians, including himself, were stunned.

It is obvious that there is nothing but them on the sea. The Genoese were destroyed and were in front of us, but where did this suddenly come from?

At this time, a sailor stood on the mast and looked into the direction he had just attacked, and shouted in horror.

"Look at me!"
