"Do you think so?" Justinian asked after finishing his words and looking at Kaloyan in front of him.

"You are presumptuous!" Justinian's words undoubtedly angered the Bulgars. After they defeated Baldwin's army, they did not take the Latins seriously at all, but now this young man actually said that their victory was not worth mentioning.

Except for two people, everyone was furious.

Both Grand Duke Ivan and Tsar Kaloyan seemed very calm and were not angry because of Justinian's words.

In fact, on more than one occasion, Kaloyan was encouraged by his ministers to attack Constantinople. This had been the dream of the Bulgars for hundreds of years, but deep down in his heart, the tsar was hesitant.

The Latin army that was able to defeat Baldwin relied entirely on surprise attacks and the assistance of the Thracian Greek resistance. However, if you want to capture Constantinople, you must first deal with the towering and seemingly insurmountable Theodosian Wall-countless barbarians are trying to defeat it.

They tried to transcend, but they all ended in failure. Whether it was Attila, the Russians or the Arabs, the Bulgars once sacked Macedonia during the First Kingdom, but they could do nothing to Constantinople.

Today, the only twenty or thirty thousand people Kaloyan can mobilize are completely insufficient to besiege Constantinople. However, when the Greek refugees who escaped from Constantinople were interrogated again and again, they all claimed that the Latins were already vulnerable, which intensified the situation.

The Bulgars were blindly confident and eager to give the Latins a final blow. Except for Ivan Asen, almost all Bulgarian nobles supported launching the final attack.

But at this time, the boy made a different sound, which made Kaloyan look at him differently. Ivan Asen, who was on the side, also paid attention to Justinian, who was about the same age as himself. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now he looked at him.

Stinian could still be so calm when facing the majestic Bulgarian Czar. It was obvious that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"It's amazing. It can be said that you are the only one besides Ivan who advised me to stop attacking." Kaloyan looked at Justinian with a meaningful smile and said.

Justinian, who immediately understood something after seeing Kaloyan's reaction, also spread his hands and said: "It seems that the Tsar has already made his own decision, but I am talking too much." Obviously, the Tsar actually actually

He had also decided to withdraw the troops, but he was delayed in issuing the order due to the opposition of most of the nobles. He was indeed right in his bet!

However, the other Bulgar nobles present looked at Justinian with hostility. It was obvious that their tsar intended to withdraw, but no one dared to act rashly without Kaloyan's permission.

Silently looking at the Greek boy with subtle eyes, Kaloyan finally said: "To be able to say these words, you are probably not an ordinary business traveler, right?" He didn't think that the fleeing civilians had such a vision.

Moreover, he resisted the hatred of leaving his homeland and did not ask the Bulgars to retaliate against the Latins. This forbearance made the man couldn't help but feel admiration. He couldn't help but wonder about Justinian's true identity.

But as soon as he said this, Dekulin was shocked at first. Justinian was entrusted by his good friend Vasily to escort him to Epirus. He was not willing to let any accidents happen to him. At the same time, Muzfi

Us couldn't help but wonder what kind of medicine was sold in Justinian's gourd. It could be said that he had not seen through this young man after spending such a long time with Justinian.

I don’t know what else you are hiding, Mr. Justinian! Muzphius muttered to himself, but his intuition still made him choose to believe Justinian. For now, he

There is no reason to betray myself yet.

Dekulin was about to stand up and explain to Tsar Kaloyan for Justinian, but Justinian's next words caught him off guard.

"Indeed not, I am a member of the resistance in the city, so I know these things." Justinian admitted his identity openly. There was no need to lie at this time, but he still hid Muzfiu

His identity, not to mention the fact that the two may have had an old grudge when Bulgaria became independent, if the tsar felt that the rare item was worth living in, then he would be making a wedding dress for others.

"You participated in the resistance action of attacking the Latins with Greek fire." Although he didn't know much, Kaloyan also heard about it. It was because half of the knights in Thessaloniki were burned to death by Greek fire that he was able to take advantage of it.

The cavalry defeated the Latin army.

"It was my command." As soon as Justinian said his words, the crowd burst into laughter. Almost all the Bulgar nobles felt that this young man was talking nonsense. Just because he could command the army to severely damage the Latin knights,

Even Ivan Asen, who originally looked at Justinian differently, found it unbelievable. However, facing the ridicule of the Bulgars, Justinian still looked at the Emperor Kaloyan in front of him quietly as usual.

Kaloyan did not think that Justinian was bragging like others. The young man's calmness surprised him. He was more concerned about the purpose of the young man in front of him standing up.

"Then I guess you're not just trying to persuade me not to attack Constantinople, right?" Kaloyan signaled the nobles to stop their rude laughter, and once again looked at the young man in front of him, he vaguely guessed that Justinian

What was his purpose? Unwilling to beat around the bush, he immediately got straight to the point and asked.

And this played into Justinian's heart, and he stated his intention, "If possible, I think I can ally with you on behalf of Epirus against the Latins. Although we have had unpleasantness in the past, we now have something in common."

Isn’t it my enemy?”

Justinian's actions exceeded everyone's expectations, including Muzphius. Although he knew what Justinian's intentions should be, he did not expect that this young man would be so bold and dare to do such a thing.

"It's interesting, but why do you have the qualifications to decide the feud between two countries? Are you kidding me?" Kaloyan said with a cold expression and drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at Justin.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the Bulgar nobles also showed gloating expressions. If Justinian did not give a reasonable answer, he would die without a burial place.

Suddenly, even if the caravan had some acquaintance with Justinian, they couldn't help but become nervous.

"Grand Duke Ivan, you have guaranteed our safety." De Kulin looked at Ivan Asen pleadingly.

But Ivan Asen also felt that it was difficult to handle for a while. He did not expect that Justinian would actually say such a thing. Epirus was the most powerful autocratic monarchy in the Roman Empire, no less powerful than Bulgaria.

The country has always had grudges. Even if Justinian is really a resistance army, how can he represent the will of a huge kingdom?

But Justinian still said calmly: "As long as you give me the opportunity to go to Epirus, I can do it. And Tsar, are you willing to seize this opportunity?" He stared closely at the opponent's eyes.
