Chapter 27 Applying both hard and soft
"Lord Baptiste, be careful!" The exclaimed Latins did not expect this scene to happen at all, and Justinian's actions were simply unbelievable to them.
However, this was not difficult at all for Justinian, who possesses the unique skills of an assassin on the Assassin battlefield. He jumped out of the ambush circle at a moment's notice, and saw that the battle flag dropped in his hand blocked Batis.
In Te's sight, he had no time to defend himself before the dagger in Justinian's hand was held to his throat.
"Long time no see, Sir Baptiste! I didn't expect it would be like this when we meet again." Justinian, who recognized the other party at a glance, said jokingly, even though some time had passed, but to him
He still has an impression of this little Latin nobleman who he once negotiated with.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me. It's such an honor, Your Excellency Justinian." Although his life hung on the line only in Justinian's thoughts, Baptiste still remained calm, while the other people around him at this moment
Seeing this scene, I was so scared that I didn't dare to act rashly.
"My memory has always been good. If I remember correctly, the commander of this army this time should be your lord, the Viscount Senna!" Seeing his appearance, Justinian also
I guessed that when Baptiste tried to threaten him in the previous negotiation, he had some impression of it. And looking at the subtle reaction on the other party's expression, it was indeed true.
Seeing this, Baptiste did not deny anything at this moment, nodded and replied: "You guessed it right, it is indeed the case! Although I had firmly believed that I could stop you and your army, I have to admit that your
The power far exceeded our expectations. Even though I was cautious, I was ultimately unable to persuade Lord Channa to fall into the trap you set."
"Then it seems you are really unlucky!" Justinian looked at the other party with a smile and said with a slight sarcasm, but with his back to the sharp spear behind him, he still looked calm.
"Maybe! But this does not mean that luck will always favor you." Although Baptiste was controlled by Justinian, he had no intention of giving in in his words.
But Justinian didn't care about this. Instead, he put away his previous expression and said calmly: "Everything is over. Continuing to resist will only increase casualties in vain. As long as you put down your weapons and hand over
Argos City, I can guarantee the safety of all of you on the basis of my reputation. Just like in Mesoni City, Lord Baptiste, you should know that I can do what I say."
However, a sneer appeared on Baptiste's face, and he directly rejected Justinian, "I wonder how you have the confidence to say this. Even though my life and death are in your hands now, you don't want to
Forget that you are surrounded by us at this moment. You must still not understand our intention of bringing you here!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the surrounding Achaean soldiers were seen tightly holding the weapons in their hands and staring at Justinian. Although they did not dare to act rashly, they had murderous intentions.
It was completely exposed in everyone's body. After all, it was the young boy in front of them that made them look like a miserable, bereaved dog.
But to Baptiste's surprise, Justinian smiled at this moment.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
And this laughter undoubtedly aroused everyone's nervousness. Sir Baptiste couldn't help but become impatient and asked: "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing at you for being so smart. Of course I understand your intention to lure me here to set up an ambush, but you don't really think that my appearance is deliberately giving you an opportunity, do you?" Justinian sneered and said,
Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked in the direction not far away. At this moment, Nevsky, who had seen Justinian holding a military flag and disappearing from the field of vision, was anxious and led the Varangian Guards to quickly move closer here. On the other side, Leo
The commander of the garrison led the armored cavalry who also noticed something was wrong here and also approached. The defeated Achaean army could not stop their approach. Everything was just as Justinian expected, using himself as a bait.
Sure enough, the Latin man couldn't resist the temptation in the end and showed his weakness. As expected, Nevsky and Chief Leo, who were concerned about his safety, responded without any hesitation.
At this time, Baptiste, who was aware of this, finally understood Justinian's intention. He looked at the young man with disbelief and murmured: "You are such a madman, you actually risked your own life and even one person."
Make a bet on the outcome of this war!" This is a little bit close. If Justinian had made a slight difference just now, I am afraid that the current situation of both sides would be completely reversed.
But Justinian tilted his head slightly and chuckled: "Because I have this confidence that I can succeed, that's all - I think if I am not wrong, the person I have never seen before
The Senna Pavilion should be nearby!" After that, the pair of blue
His eyes scanned the people around him with a deep and intimidating gaze, and an invisible pressure suddenly made all the Latin people breathless. That kind of mature look should not be what this fledgling boy should have, all of them
People's hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.
But Baptiste was still unwilling to surrender, "So what, I'm in your hands now, let us leave here, otherwise we will perish together!" He threatened sternly in a desperate attempt, but it was a pity that he
He was facing Justinian, so this didn't scare him at all.
Ignoring Sir Baptiste in front of him, Justinian looked at the crowd behind him and shouted:
"Viscount Seine, is it really okay for a nobleman to act like a coward and have no sense of honor? I think you should be lucky to have a good subordinate, instead of just watching him kill himself, not to mention all the Latin people here now
My life is also in your hands. I promise on my honor that only
I want you to put down your weapons and hand over the city. Everyone can leave here safely. And if something happens to me, think about what kind of revenge so many angry and crazy imperial soldiers will take on you!
As the commander-in-chief of an army, don’t you even have this sense of responsibility?”
Justinian, who was both soft and hard, looked calmly at the silent group of men in front of him, while Baptiste, who was subdued on the side, was anxious and still wanted to speak to stop him.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"That's enough, Baptiste, I've tried my best. Your Excellency Justinian, if you really keep your promise, I am willing to lay down my arms and surrender!" Finally, Sena, who was struggling in his heart, looked at his subordinates with guilt and finally surrendered.
