"Then just do what you think is best, Justinian!" The man who had been silent finally said slowly at this moment, and at this moment, although Justinian's face

He remained calm, but the tense muscles on his cheeks finally relaxed.

But this scene shocked the other nobles present. They never expected that Justinian could convince Prince Theodore with just his empty white teeth.

"Your Highness, this—!" Cronus still wanted to stop him, but this time he was directly interrupted by Prince Theodore.

"That's enough, Cronus, since you are already old, it's time to let young people have a try. I understand your feelings, but you are always afraid that your children will take detours, and children will never grow up.

"

Theodore's meaningful words were not only meant for Cronushearn, but also for other old nobles. In fact, it was not so much that Justinian persuaded him.

Saying Justinian's last words strengthened Theodore Duca

Si made up his mind. Indeed, the meaning of this battle to him was just like Alessia to Caesar and Gaugamela to Alexander. If he just gave up his previous efforts, all the previous efforts would be wasted. What is the risk? And what is the risk?

What is it? If not Caesar, I would rather be nothing.

"Justinian, obey!" Standing up from his position and slowly walking down the steps, Prince Theodore seemed to be exuding the aura of supremacy like a real king.

Is this the result of the cultivation of the former royal family, the Ducasse family? This kind of superior demeanor in every gesture can really be said to be something that ordinary people cannot imitate. For a while, Justinian couldn't help but be moved by it.

The young man who reacted quickly walked forward and knelt down

Come and take orders - this is the moment he has been waiting for. Although in his eyes, the Latins in the city of Athens are like dry bones in the grave, it is not enough to rely on the people in his hands, so he gets help from Theodore.

It was indispensable. And the man in front of him did not disappoint him.

"Justinian is now promoted to be the temporary commander-in-chief of the provincial frontier defense forces. He is responsible for commanding the three armies and is responsible for the war to recover the lost territory. All military supplies are dispatched for his use without any mistakes. Everyone must obey orders unconditionally and without any disobedience.

"The man's majestic voice sounded at this moment, and the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed, but no one dared to raise objections, even those older nobles like Cronus.

I dare not raise any further objections.

Although they were unwilling to do so, the nobles still acquiesced to this fact, allowing Justinian to temporarily become the commander-in-chief of the three armies, that is, the prince's agent. Although the position of commander-in-chief of the provincial border defense army is not very noble, it is a high-level job.

Odor Ducasse holds the highest military rank concurrently, and one can imagine the meaning of temporarily awarding it to Justinian.

And Justinian, who also understood this, lowered his head and replied softly: "There is no greater honor than to serve your highness. I am willing to do my best with my meager body, no matter how hard it is." Even though it is.

Although the lines are high-sounding, there is one sentence that is what Justinian really wants in his heart - that is to do his best. At this moment, he must give something so that Theodore can truly value himself.

Truly lend your power to yourself.

…

…

It has been two days since the city of Athens was besieged. Although it is far from running out of ammunition and food, the precarious situation has made everyone in the city uneasy. The vegetation and trees are shaking, fearing that the Greeks outside the city will launch an attack.

The Latins in the city were worried about retaliation for the city's destruction, while the Greeks were afraid of the consequences of martial law in the city. In just two days, dozens of people were executed on suspicion of collusion, which further spread the atmosphere of fear.

The whole city.

But compared with what happened not long ago, all this now seems completely insignificant - just yesterday, the Greeks who were besieged and unable to attack finally made some movement. When the vigilant Latins were preparing to fight, something happened under the city.

The scene left them stunned.

He was captured after being defeated on the Acropolis Hill and was released unconditionally by the Roman army?!

This was something that would have made the Latins happy, but Marquis Gottfried in the city was very busy trying to identify the prisoners to prevent them from becoming spies.

"Are you still busy?" Duke Otto asked as he walked in and looked at Gottfried who was busy processing official documents. The relationship between the two people had greatly eased after the battle of life and death.

And Gottfrey nodded impatiently. Looking at the mess in front of him, this man was already upset, "What do you think, I have already advised you not to let them enter the city. This is simply the Greeks deliberately doing it."

This is a conspiracy. The identities of these people have been verified over and over again, but how can I have any extra thoughts now?" He had already discovered that these released prisoners were not regular soldiers, but civilians from the Principality of Athens.

Because of this, it is extremely difficult to verify the identity of the regiment. It is obvious that the enemy on the opposite side deliberately chose to do this, but he did not dare to take the risk of not checking. Once any spies were mixed in, the consequences would be disastrous. At the beginning, Gott

Free had a premonition and insisted on persuading Duke Alto to give up, but ultimately failed. Now faced with these things in front of him, this shrewd man is already exhausted physically and mentally.

But Duke Otto also had his own helplessness, "If I don't do this, what can I do? We don't have enough manpower, and many residents in the city are Greeks. If we don't save the militia, we will only

If you chill the hearts of your own people, it will be unimaginable if the situation gets out of control." Although Otto was a rough man, he was not stupid. He naturally had his own considerations in doing this, and it was also a last resort choice.

After hearing this, he knew there was nothing he could do about it. A cold smile appeared on Gottfrey's face, "Humph, it's all thanks to that little fox. I can't think of another person who has used such despicable methods. But you specifically

I'm afraid you didn't come here just to talk to me about this matter, Your Excellency the Duke?" Looking at the expression on the other party's face, Gottfrey immediately guessed what was going on.

Otto Rocher also acquiesced to the other party's speculation with a solemn expression, and handed a letter full of confessions to Gottfrey without saying a word.

"You will understand after seeing it."
