"Your Excellency Bosmond, aren't you ready to rest at such a late hour? You have to get up early to go to Adrianople tomorrow." Gallias said unhappily. He remembered that he did not invite him to this banquet.

Bosimond obviously heard the dissatisfaction in the other party's words, but he replied indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, but I think you can rest assured that those Greeks are just a mob. Maybe they will wait.

When we get there, our beloved Emperor has already made his triumphant return." Bosmond, who was not talking speculatively, turned around and left to continue drinking and having fun with a few nobles, which aroused Gallias's disgust.

The Romanian Empire has been riddled with contradictions since its establishment. Boniface was very dissatisfied with Baldwin, and even went so far as to go to war with him. If the Venetians had not intervened, the other party would not have given in. Until now, although Boniface has complied

The oath sent out troops, but apparently they were not obedient at all.

But now, Gallias Ye didn't want to waste any more time, so he turned around and continued to make arrangements.

"Go down and prepare first. Don't be careless. Those people are very likely to launch a riot today. Do you understand?" Gallias warned. The details he arranged have told him that the rebels are likely to take action today.

, because of this, he was careful not to give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. You must know that Constantinople is not only a city of wealth, but also a large number of dissatisfied citizens. They were robbed and fell into abject poverty. They already had a strong desire for Latin.

People are very dissatisfied.

If someone rises up and responds, it will be disastrous.

"But Sir Gallias, is there really no need to send more people to guard the armory and here?" One of his subordinates suddenly asked. Gallias ordered people to guard every key place.

, but the number of guards in the armory and palace has been reduced a lot. He was a little worried and asked Gallias for his opinion.

But Gallias waved his hand and said: "No need, there is nothing important in the armory. Boniface's people are very close there, so even if an accident occurs, nothing will happen." In order to prepare before.

During the war, the armory in Constantinople had been emptied, so it didn't matter there. Besides, the location facing the square was very open, which was very suitable for cavalry attacks. He didn't think the rioters would be that stupid.

What worries Gallias even more is the residential area of ​​Constantinople. This city is much larger than he thought and more difficult to manage...

But what Gallias never expected was that Justinian chose the armory, because the Latins would never have thought that the mysterious Greek fire was actually hidden in that armory until their death.

…

As night fell, in a hidden alley, a group of Romanian soldiers on patrol had just passed by. A stone slab was lifted under their feet, and a figure poked his head out of the tunnel.

"Everything is safe. It seems there are no key defenses here." After confirming safety, more people emerged from the ground, like moles, silently and cautiously.

"Are you sure the Greek fire is really here?" Vasily asked Justinian next to him in a low and inaudible voice. He finally had to be persuaded by the other party to make a desperate move. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Vasily told Justinian before

No one has disclosed plans.

At this time, Justinian also said in a low voice: "Of course I can guarantee that there is no need for me to risk my life."

From the current point of view, at least everything is going well. In order to conduct a city-wide blockade, the Latins sent out all mixed teams, making the defense of less important places like the armory a little weaker.

"I hope so." Vasily said in a deep voice. Nearly two hundred resistance troops were hidden in the dark night. At this time, the Romanian defenders were completely unaware of the situation.

"It's such a cold day, we have to stay here to keep vigil at night." A dozen soldiers outside the armory couldn't help complaining. They had to stay here to keep vigil all night, but there were very few people here, making everyone uncomfortable.

Everyone is on tenterhooks.

"Have you heard about it?" At this time, a sentry suddenly started whispering to his companions beside him.

"What did you hear?"

"His Royal Highness Henry of Flanders has captured Nicaea, and I'm afraid the Greeks will surrender soon." The soldier proudly told his companions what he had heard not long ago.

"That's great. If they can calm down a little bit, we don't have to be so worried." Several soldiers nodded. They were all mercenaries from the West. They were just to make a living, and they were the same as the previous ones.

The Crusades were completely different with the piety of recovering the Holy Land. Now that I have finally settled down in the prosperous city of Constantinople, I certainly hope that I can stop fighting everywhere.

But it is a pity that God is no longer prepared to give them this opportunity. The resistance forces who are peeping in the dark are already furious when they see the alien invaders in their eyes.

"Creak!" The sound of the bowstring tightening sounded. I don't know who actually pulled the bowstring first. Such silence in the darkness immediately aroused the alertness of the Romanian soldiers guarding the armory.

"Who is it?" the Latin man shouted, drawing out his sword and holding the hook and sickle tightly. With a whooshing sound, a bow and arrow shot out from the darkness and stabbed a Latin man in the throat, killing him on the spot.

"Kill!"

The secret attack failed, and the only way to fight openly was to fight openly. Justinian shouted loudly, holding the sword in his hand, and rushed out at the lead. There were not many people on the other side, as long as they were not allowed to retreat into the armory.

"kill……"

For a moment, Vasily and his men were blushing, shouting at the top of their lungs, brandishing weapons and rushing out after Justinian. Most of them were civilians who had not experienced fighting, and now their hatred of the Latins made them

They share the same hatred.

Only then did the Latins, who were frightened by the sudden appearance of the resistance army in the black case, react.

"Open the armory door quickly!"

Now they can only survive by hiding here, but this is exactly what Justinian does not allow.

"Javelin!" Justinian roared angrily. Although he was very young, his momentum impressed everyone.

The resistance army behind them threw the javelin they carried. As the pride of the Romans in ancient Rome, this weapon is still not far behind today. The vigorous heavy javelin fell towards the panicked Latins, and the Latin soldiers quickly raised their shields to resist.

.However, the simple wooden shield was quickly shattered by the heavy javelin attack at such a close range, and at this moment the Greek resistance troops also rushed forward.

The first thing Justinian faced was a Latin soldier carrying a spear. Suddenly, the opponent had no time to take advantage of the length of the spear before he was approached by Justinian.

Justinian knew that nothing could go wrong at this time. Either you die or I die. He held the sword with both hands and slashed hard, hitting the opponent's shoulder blade directly.

With a scream, the dying Latin soldier wanted to stab Justinian with the spear in his hand, but Justinian swung the sword with great force and saw a human head streaking through the air.
