.Chapter 36 Justinian

The bravery of an army always has a bottom line. Knowing that there is no hope of resistance, few people will choose to fight to the end. For example, the three hundred warriors in Sparta fight the Hot Spring Pass bloodily are always a very rare example in history.

As the Swiss soldiers led by Tuier boarded the last sailboat of the Byzantines from the other side, the shouts of killing finally weakened. The Byzantines beat and retreated until they all retreated into the cabin, leaving many corpses, and some of their companions who were only breathing their strength were moaning and wailing outside.

Maybe they had seen how Xi Qin attacked the cabin on another ship; or maybe they had fought this far, and the stubborn resistance could not change the end.

A white flag stretched out of the cabin.

"Let down your weapons and I accept your surrender," shouted Winkreid.

As soon as he finished speaking, a guy walked out of the cabin and threw the blood-stained sword on his hand aside.

Winkreid's eyes twitched. He knew this man, who was forced into a dead corner with a few Byzantine soldiers. The iron plate inlaid on the leather armor on his chest could easily make Winkreid recognize him, that is, he, and cut many wounds on his body.

Although it was a surrender, there was no sign of embarrassment from this guy's face. Instead, he looked at Winkreid proudly, his tone was not slow and slow, and we hoped to receive fair treatment. Although we admitted this failure, if it weren't for your shameless sneak attack, these few broken merchant ships would not be our opponent."

It seems that the one who accepts surrender now is not the Western Qin side, but them.

"Give us a merchant ship, and I will leave here with all my soldiers, and I will guarantee that I will not return to Cyprus within three days."

This person seems to be born with a noble character, and even if he is defeated, he must be guaranteed. Although it seems a bit ridiculous, this is also this kind of demeanor, which makes them different from others.

Winkreid also showed his knightly demeanor from his bones. At this time, he was speechless by the other party. Although his side won, in the eyes of him, a Swiss, it was indeed not something worth boasting.

At this time, Bai Zhou led his men here, and as he watched a group of Swiss confronting this Byzantine, he couldn't help but sigh - if he didn't look at the number of people and only looked at the momentum, he really couldn't tell who was the winner.

"Wincred, we don't have time to delay here anymore," said Bai Zhou Tui, taking people to treat the wounded and counting the number of casualties; Berryon, taking some sailors, ready to set sail."

"Sir, what if these people do it?" Winkrid immediately walked to him and asked softly when he saw Bai Zhou.

"They surrendered, are there any problems?" Bai Zhou's tone was serious, without any joking.

In fact, Bai Zhou hopes that the other party will not retreat. After all, it is not appropriate for them to attack Cyprus and bring a group of prisoners.

But now, the other party surrendered, and Bai Zhou was not so bloody that he could not even let the prisoners go.

"But they demanded..." Before Winkreid finished speaking, he heard Bai Zhou say to the proud guy, "I only accept unconditional surrender. If your surrender comes with conditions, then, knight, you should still pick up your sword, we are doing a battle."

Just kidding, give you a merchant ship and let you leave on your own? Even if Bai Zhou promised, now for the Crusaders, every ship is a valuable resource and it is absolutely impossible to transfer it to others as a condition.

Especially to Bai Zhou, the Byzantine in front of him seemed to have not figured out the situation and had no awareness of the loser at all.

The man's face turned pale and could not speak for a long time. After sighing, he asked again. Sir, you will treat us and ensure that my soldiers will not be treated unfairly by you after they put down their weapons."

"You can choose not, and then fight to the last person with your weapon," Bai Zhou stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

This is obviously not a multiple-choice question, but will Bai Zhou give him extra options?

Although it is very cruel to force a person who is unwilling to surrender, after all, the torture of ** has never been the most terrible, the torture of will.

Bai Zhou's strength made this guy at a loss. It seemed that in front of Bai Zhou, the glory was worthless like shit, and there was no need to expect how fair the "demon" on the opposite side would treat the soldiers and the same.

Listening to the silence in the cabin, this man understood that it was a very selfish thing to die for the glory of defense, but for the sake of dignity, it was a very selfish thing to let others bury them for, even if they were as close as a friend.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that he could not let his family die in vain, leaving their families with no support from now on.

"Okay." The man finally chose to compromise like accepting his fate, "I hope that in the future, I can exchange ransom for our freedom."

"Of course, it's useless for me to keep you."

Bai Zhou’s smile now makes others feel that this is the devil’s smile.

"My name is Justinian, my royal viscount."

"I don't care about this, Berryon, you can only drive the boat when you are."

“…”

The cypress boat was blowing the sea breeze on the sea surface, and the bloody smell on the deck did not dissipate for a long time, making people feel unhappy.

"There are fifty-three best guys. Damn it. If they hadn't worn armor, there would have been no such heavy casualties." Tui'er looked heartbroken.

During this Crusade, he and Winkrid led Switzerland's most outstanding heavy infantry, and this time the conquest of Cyprus, he selected the most elite 400 people from it. Even if one of them was lost, Tui Er would feel distressed. However, he did not expect that before he could see the shadow of Cyprus, one-eighth of the casualties were first injured and eighth.

"This Justinian is not simple." To be fair, Bai Zhou could see from their equipment that they did not live well in Cyprus; and he was the viscount personally appointed by Isak II, and he was not the private soldier of a great nobleman, but their combat effectiveness was indeed amazing."

It is true that in his words just now, Bai Zhou did not leave any way out for Justinian, but this does not mean that Bai Zhou does not admire such a powerful nobleman.

"If the defenders above Cyprus had this kind of combat power, I was worried that if we were the ones who could only hold on until the reinforcements arrived, we would probably not even be able to see the sun the next day." Tui'er said with lingering fear.

Although the Byzantine warship he was responsible for occupying was much less difficult than Winkreid, it was only relatively speaking. In fact, if it weren't for Bai Zhou's help with the Sky Thunder, then Tui'er would have to attack the cabin, either he would have to fill it with his life or he would have to destroy the ship.

"It shouldn't be. We have fought with Byzantine ace troops in Constantinople. We know how much their combat power is." Bai Zhou said, wait and see, Winkrid could ask some."
