"Are you really letting us go like this, Lord Justinian?" Sir Baptist said, and the man couldn't help but ask in doubt. This was the second time. Justinian released them so happily, without even a harsh condition. And now it is still the case. Even if the young man in front of him definitely knew what the consequences would be to release thousands of prisoners like this, it would not be possible to weaken the power of the vassal state of Achaia at all.

But the young man in front of him tilted his head slightly and asked, "What if that's the case?"

"All Greeks regard us as absolute enemies. They will eliminate them quickly!" Baptist said coldly. Since the fall of Constantinople, the Latins and the people of the Byzantine Empire in the west have completely become in trouble. The vassal state of Achaia has killed countless people in its establishment of rule in Molia, and many people on its own side died of revenge by the Greeks. In the past year, it can be said that both sides have already been red-eyed, but Justinian is the first time Baptist has met a person who is not blinded by this hatred. It can be said that all his actions serve their own purposes... and it is precisely this that really makes him difficult to understand.

"Because in their eyes you are foreign robbers, and naturally everyone wants to kill them quickly."

"What about you, Your Excellency Justinian? I'm very curious about your attitude. I really can't think of a reason for you to let us go!" Baptist said bluntly and questioned Justinian in front of him.

This really made Viscount Sena beside him sweat behind him, fearing that Justinian would be irritated and could not help but stop saying, "Baptiste!"

But Justinian was not upset, but replied lightly: "The reason is very simple, because we do not have to be enemies... Of course, the premise is that you leave our territory. I hope that after you go back, you can tell Your Excellency William what I said. Now for us, whether Latin or Greek, there is no benefit to each other's prejudice. I hope you will do it yourself."

"But you also know that this is impossible. Lord Justinian, I don't think you really naively thought we would just give in! Argos City is just temporarily falling into your hands!"

"Then let me wait and see!"

As he said that, amid Justinian's orders, the Roman army obeyed his command and let the disarmed Achaean army leave here safely. At the same time, the defenders of Argos also opened the city to surrender. Some Latin immigrants who were unwilling to stay in the city escaped from the city because of fear of revenge. Justinian did not intervene to stop anything, but looked at the scene in front of him quietly.

But at this moment, Neuski, who was beside him, slowly walked up and lowered his voice and said:

"Are you really going to do this, Justinian?"

"why not?"

"You should know that these people will make a comeback after a while when they turn around. I don't think you are a ruthless person. Why do you do this?" Neuski did not express his dissatisfaction directly, but looked at Justinian calmly. He believed that this young man must have a reason to do this.

"Because in a sense, the Latins and even the Venetians are not our enemies. Simple revenge is not helpful in rebuilding this empire." Justinian said lightly, but if others hear this sentence, it would be a ruthless rebellion. You should know that because of the fall of Constantinople, the entire Roman Empire's disgust with the Latins was beyond measure, so that in the future, the emperors in Constantinople were willing to seek help from the West, but the people of the imperial city would rather accept the *** square scarf than the cross of the Roman Catholic Church.

"Amazing remarks, but if others know, it will be afflicted, Justinian, but I don't think you are an impulsive person, I respect your choice." Despite being shocked by the words at this time, Neusky still did not object to Justinian's decision this time, but he must also remind Justinian that if his attitude was known by others, it would be enough to instantly disappear the prestige he had accumulated in the army.

Justinian also knew himself. Seeing the army entering the city of Argos, which the Latins gave up, in fact, he had finally let go of his previous heart. Taking the city with such a result was already his best choice. Although he did not annihilate all the Latin troops, he led his troops to avoid being injured in the bones and the energy. The significance of taking the city was extraordinary, that is, the initiative of the entire battlefield completely fell into his hands at this moment. The land of the key that communicated and connected Corinth and Peloponnese was falling, and I am afraid that neither the Latins nor Prince Theodor, who was far away in Agrenion, would remain indifferent. What Justinian had to do next was just waiting.

At the sunset, the sun gradually sets, and at this time in the city of Argos, soldiers who recovered the lost land shouted various hymns everywhere, and the people of the imperial city also welcomed the king's army, and ate pots of mud to reward Justinian and others and the soldiers who experienced the bloody battle. The whole city was filled with joy, like a festival, but Justinian didn't care about celebrating the victory of this day, but listened to the Governor Leo's report on the entire battle results and losses. "We have little loss this time, and the casualties are insignificant. Although the siege equipment has lost a lot, the things seized.

It's enough to compensate. But although the Latins have retreated, I think the entire Achaean vassal state should know what happened here no more than the early morning of tomorrow. After knowing that the entire important key land has fallen into our hands, I think they must try to take back the place, Lord Justinian! If I guess well next, I'm afraid it will be another tough battle!" The man couldn't help but worry that despite the victory in the first battle, Justinian did so to undoubtedly push himself to the forefront. The Latins would never sit by and watch this threat exist.

But Justinian nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, Leo, I know what you mean, but the Latino will know that it also means Theodor will know everything that is going on here. It is impossible for a person like him to remain indifferent."
