Chapter 46: Under the Twilight of Irony

The sound of galloping horse hooves echoed in the open mountains and fields. Although the defeated soldiers who fled from Larissa were exhausted, they kept working hard.

"Master Farachenko, let's take a break!" the rider behind him persuaded.

But Earl Gavris, who is like a betrayal dog, could not hear it, "March at full speed and throw away everything you can, you must arrive at Trikara today!"

"We have already thrown away everything we can, sir." The Pronian noble riders looked at each other. In order to reduce the weight, they even took off their armor and threw it on the side of the road, but even so their war horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth.

"Let's just slow down and gather the defeated soldiers for a while! Only then can we have a chance to make a comeback." Looking at the stubborn lord, several nobles persuaded him.

Along the way, they were quite disappointed to rush down the defeated soldiers behind them and let them die. Now the Count in front of them was almost paranoid and forced them to breathe.

Earl Gavris ignored it. At this time, he didn't care about the collapsed army. Without Larissa, the fleeing defeated soldiers were rootless duckweed. Farachenko knew that he had to take Trikara while he was using the letters, otherwise he would be worthless in the eyes of Emperor Mikhail.

"Don't let me say it again, march at full speed, don't care about the burden behind you. If you dare to rest, don't blame me for being merciless. Now we have no way out. I promise you that as long as you take Trikara, I will give you land and all the wealth I have! But for the only purpose of our next goal is to move forward by any means!" Farachenko said this immediately, and used both soft and hard to force all the exhausted people to squeeze out their last power.

There is only one destination for them, that is Trikara. As long as Farachenko handed over the Bunonius letter in his hand to the defenders in the city to transfer them away, an empty city could be taken down by the guards around him. With Trikara, he could avenge his today. Until now, he was still puzzled. Which force the sudden appearance of the cavalry on the battlefield belonged to. But he couldn't control much!

Wait! When the Emperor and the Emperor come, you all pay the price!

He raised his whip and whipped it hard on the war horse under his crotch. Farachenko and the two counts Merinos and Bononius who had been deceived by him had a deep hatred in his heart.

Gavris took his last bet book and set out on the road ahead to Trikara. That was the last bet that this man could turn the tables.

All of this happened in the eyes of Justinian, who was peeping on the hills in the distance. After defeating the plot of the Thessaly rebels to hunt down Hendriel, he waited early on the path between Trikara and Larissa. However, Justinian did not order his eager subordinates to attack.

"Your Highness, they are going to go far." Focas reminded, asking whether to pursue the enemy now. Although the soldiers fought bloody battles all night and did not remove their armor at night, it was easy for these defeated generals to destroy them.

However, Justinian was indifferent, with a sneer on his lips, and looked at Gavris and his army with a slight teasing look, and said coldly: "Since they have already set foot on the dead end, why should they stop their date with the God of Death? Punctuality should be a virtue."

...

"What did you say?! Gavris actually betrayed us!" From the mouth of Earl Taranit and getting the affirmation of Bononius, Merinoson's eyes were filled with shock, and he was suddenly creepy and then covered in cold sweat.

After welcoming Tanbei's reinforcements, the three counts went to the noble hall to discuss in detail. It was not until this time that Farachenko Gavris's conspiracy completely surfaced.

It turned out that he was kept in the dark from beginning to end. He was in Larissa City and was a piece of flesh from the mouth of the sinister and cunning Gavris Pt. If it weren't for the Tianbei divine weapon that disturbed everything, I wouldn't know how Merinosen was swallowed in one bite. Thinking of it now, this pampered nobleman felt lingering fear for the first time.

"He has already defected to Mikhail Dukas, and he has been reluctant to take action but wants to use your and my territory as a bargaining chip to defect to the past. However, Gavris' greed has led to his destruction." Bunonius said quietly. Thinking of all this now, it was like a satirical drama. Farachenko, who dominated everything, completely lost the Larissa he had.

Now this territory, which was originally Earl of Saisalian, was completely controlled by them. Although the troops outside the city of Farachenko were severely damaged, those were mainly recruiting mercenaries in Macedonia, so they won and returned to Tanbei's army and entered the city without much conflict with the residents.

In this battle, more than 800 rebels were killed, and more than 1,000 surrendered. Only a small half of them successfully passed through the Pinios River, which was a complete victory. At this time, the basic situation in the entire Thessaly was settled.

"The fence-bearer who has defected to the Latins before is indeed unreliable, but unfortunately this bastard escaped. Alas? Bunoniusqing, you knew why you didn't tell me before so that I could be prepared in advance, otherwise I would definitely be able to catch him and settle the account!" The unwilling Count smashed his fist on the table.

The two dukes looked at each other and smiled at each other as they looked at him. Old Bunonius shook his head and said, "I only learned about this matter with the secret notice from Taranit not long ago. The matter was hasty. I am afraid that you will act recklessly after knowing it. That would put us in danger."

"But letting this venomous snake escape, it will always be a big trouble for him to gather defeated soldiers." Merinoson couldn't help but be worried. Although the Gavris family was an emerging nouveau riche and had an unstable foothold in Thessaly, the centipede worm died without being stiff. If he did not beheaded, once Farachenko and Agrenion rebels merged with each other or went north to surrender to Mikhail Ducas, it would become a big threat.

"It's right!" Buononius nodded, "But there is something wrong. He will not go to Agrignon or Rusnina immediately. The Count who lost his territory is not worth it. With Gavris' greed, he will never give up. That's why I gave him my letter before, and Farachenko could not refuse this deadly bait."

"Then now!" Merinoson, who woke up from a dream, remembered the hidden meaning of the actions that Bunonius had made before, and shouted in surprise.

"Looking at this time, I think it's coming soon!" After Bunonius said, his eyes turned to the sunset outside the window. The blood-red rays of evening shone against the mountains in the distance, which was particularly poetic. I guess tomorrow will be a clear and cloudless weather, and there is no trace of haze covering the sky of Thessaly.
