Chapter 3 Under Sophia's Crown
"It seems that pointing a weapon at the heart is really effective during negotiations!" Baron Lovewey said mockingly. The people he had on hand were enough to easily destroy this caravan. To be honest, he actually had no control over these people.
He was not interested at all. It was just that he had been ordered to find some people from Constantinople to inquire about the truth.
"Don't forget, you are still in our sight, killing you is easy." Facing provocation, Bihar was still very tough, but he still could not scare the Bulgar.
"You can give it a try. Death will never scare the Bulgars. Even though the Bulgar butchers blinded tens of thousands of people, we never stopped resisting," Lovevii said.
At the signal, the archer beside him tightened his bowstring. The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. Everyone was extremely nervous. It was obvious that the other party was not joking.
"I actually met a madman... What bad luck!" Justinian also had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead. It would be too bad to die in a place like this after overcoming many obstacles before.
At this moment, De Kulin finally chose to give in. He didn't want to die in a place like this, "Okay, I don't want to cause more unnecessary casualties. Let my people go, and I can go with you. You just want to know
There is no need to involve too many people in the reality of Constantinople." De Kulin also almost guessed the other party's purpose. At this time, only surrendering is the wisest choice.
However, this kind of concession did not satisfy Lovvii at all. "Do you need me to repeat it? It is an honor for you stupid Greeks to put down your arms and follow me to see His Majesty the Tsar. Otherwise, I can guarantee that
Leave no one behind. I'll count to three."
Immediately, heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the darkness holding large shields and stood in front of Lovevii.
Completely caught off guard, Bihar and Justinian reacted and loosened their bowstrings almost at the same time, but it was already too late. The bows and arrows were blocked by a huge and solid shield and could not threaten Lovewei at all.
"Despicable!" Bihar shouted angrily, so that they were now completely passive.
And Lovewei mocked from behind the shield: "You really don't think that I will trade one life with you, do you?"
"What should we do, Mr. Dekulin?" Everyone looked at each other. They were all very grateful that he was willing to compromise with the Bulgars before and took the initiative to stand up. But now these guys have obviously gone too far.
Dekulin looked at the people around him, then at Bihar, who nodded to himself, and took a deep breath: "In this case, we have no choice but to fight to the death with these Bulgar bandits." Rather than lay down his weapons and let others slaughter him, he said
It's better to fight to the death.
"Hmph, you're throwing an egg against a stone, and you don't know what you're capable of." A cold light flashed in Lovevii's eyes, like a hungry wolf in the Carpathian Mountains. As his words fell, the Bulgar pulled out his long knife and was about to start this.
An easy kill.
But at this critical moment, a young man suddenly appeared and stopped the Bulgar warriors who were about to attack.
This is a young aristocratic boy less than twenty years old, wearing gorgeous clothes and armor, and his horse is also covered with heavy armor. Looking at Lovevii's reaction, it is obvious that he is a very extraordinary person.
"Stop, Lovevey, His Majesty the Tsar did not ask you to do such a thing."
The appearance of the young man instantly caused all the Bulgars to put down their weapons, and the originally arrogant Lovevii immediately became frightened.
"Grand Duke Ivan. Why are you here?"
Seeing that a boy who was no more than a teenager was already a grand duke. No wonder Lovewei was so respectful, he was just a mere baron. Dekulin and Behar were relieved and then shocked, they actually
I met such a great person.
But the most shocking thing was Justinian. This ordinary noble boy in front of him looked harmless to humans and animals, but he was very likely to be the famous Tsar Ivan Assen II in the future. He was the son of Tsar Assen, who is now
The nephew of Tsar Kaloyan. Twenty-six years later, he joined forces with Epirus to capture Thessaloniki, but betrayed the alliance and destroyed Epirus, leaving Epirus completely without control of Constantinople.
Opportunities in Dimburg.
In order to avenge Basil's suppression of Bulgaria more than two hundred years ago, he blinded the then King of Epirus. It can be said that this young man is more dangerous than his uncle. Although this has nothing to do with him at the moment, Justinian
Or subconsciously regard the other party as a potential enemy.
However, Grand Duke Ivan on the side did not notice Justinian's extremely fearful gaze. Instead, he looked at Lovvie and asked: "Your Excellency Baron, how long are you going to make the Tsar wait?" Although the army was assembled, due to the
Fearing the Theodosian Wall, the Bulgars never attacked the Latins after their victory. Therefore, they sent people to look for refugees who had escaped from Constantinople to find out the truth.
"But these stupid Greeks didn't cooperate with me at all..." The frightened Lovewei quickly defended, but the young Ivan ignored him at all, walked out of the protection of the soldiers, dismounted and arrived in front of the caravan.
"Everyone - we don't have any ill intentions." The young noble said in an approachable manner, which immediately eased the tense atmosphere slightly.
"We are just ordinary business travelers, why does His Highness continue to embarrass us?" Bihar still did not put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
Loveviyi was frightened to death when he saw this scene. He could not bear the responsibility if something happened to His Highness Ivan.
"You are so impudent. If you dare to harm His Highness the Grand Duke, I will never let any of you walk out of here alive!" the man threatened with an angry roar.
But Ivan Asen scolded him: "Shut up, Lovevii." The inherent majesty in the young man's words instantly made Lovevii dare not speak out again. He once again tried to ask Dekulin and
Behar expressed his goodwill, "We just ask you to go over and ask some questions. I promise on my honor that I will never harm you."
After receiving the Grand Duke's guarantee, Bihar and Dekulin looked at each other. Now they could only obey the young man's arrangements. At least the Grand Duke's reputation guarantee was still credible.
"It seems that we have no choice but to do this. Your Highness, we are willing to accept your conditions, but we hope that you will remove the people surrounding us. I can tell His Majesty the Tsar everything I have seen and heard."
"Okay, I promise you." Immediately under the command of Grand Duke Ivan, the Bulgars released their encirclement.
Everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Except for Justinian, even though he was temporarily guaranteed to be safe by the other party, he didn't know what he would face next for this dangerous tsar in the future... (To be completed
