Chapter 44: Going deep into the tiger's den

The camp was burned to the ground. Justinian used almost cruel methods to clean out the rebels stationed here. This approach was unprecedented. Even when he regained the lost territory and expelled the Latin invaders, what he adopted was anything but.

Such an iron-blooded killing method is now used. But at this moment, this young man has no mercy or hesitation. Since he has decided to go deep into the tiger's den, any hesitation may put everyone in great danger.

"Have you really decided this way?"

"Yes, although I'm sorry to say this to Arslan, after all, I promised him, but I have made up my mind." Looking at the Turkic subordinates in front of him who still insisted on opposing his doing so, Justinian said with determination,

There is no room for concession for them.

"But even so, please take us with you, Lord Justinian. If something unexpected happens to you..." The subordinates, whose eyes were red with anger, still tried hard to persuade Justinian.

However, raising his hand to interrupt him, Justinian shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I promise you will come back safely, not to mention that it is the most appropriate choice for you to respond here."

"But Lord Justinian, it is too risky for you to do this, and you don't know whether their words are true or false. What if it is a trap?"

"Even if it might be a trap, it's still worth taking the risk, just like a drowning person who won't let go even if he holds on to a straw. Everything here will be left to you for the time being."

After saying that, the young man did not hesitate to mount the war horse that had been prepared by his men. His eyes showed a determined will. Regardless of the earnest dissuasion of these loyal men, Justinian waved his whip and left.

Heading towards Tripolis, which has entered nightfall.

Seeing that the thick night in front of him was about to swallow him up, and the distance between the lonely Justinian and his subordinates behind him was getting farther and farther, but his heart was as fearless as ever before. He was interrogating

When the rebels captured him, he learned that Tripolis had been completely occupied, and the disappearance of Eudocia and his daughter was the main reason that prompted Justinian to make his decision. Of course he knew what danger he was about to face.

, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth giving him a try.

I don't have a long way to go, so I am going backwards and doing things in reverse.







When Justinian stepped into the night and rushed to Tripolis, which was already a dragon's den and a tiger's den, the nobles of Moria were completely immersed in the joy of success. In their view, they had completely controlled this place.

Our own side is now sure of victory. And by then, it will be easy to completely hunt down the little fox that troubles them every day and every night. But they do have their reasons for thinking this way, after all, Justinian

The ability to control the current situation in Moria is certainly due to his military prowess, but without the support of Anastasius as the despot, how could he have gathered strength to defeat the Latins in a short time? Now the situation is complete

The difference was that the death of Archduke Anastasius was completely under their control. The young boy from a remote country had lost his biggest support, no matter how extraordinary his military talents were, he would have nowhere to use them.

"Take this thing to Andravida and see it. I believe that Archduke Anastasius's private army will also be mobilized by us. With their words, even if Justinian brings his mud legs

Even if the new army composed of sons comes back, it will not make any waves." He twisted off the turquoise stone on the scepter that symbolized the authority of the autocratic public and handed it to the hand of a noble in front of him, Leosgros.

He said calmly, as if everything was under control.

But Earl Conil looked very hesitant and said: "But will they really listen to our orders? You know that they were also commanded by Justinian back then. Isn't it a bit strange to be able to mobilize them with just a stone?"

It's too hasty." At this time, the man no longer dared to show any disrespect to Duke Leo in front of him, and even though he raised objections, he seemed cautious.

However, the one who responded to him was Leosgros's disdainful gaze, "Hmph, do you think I wouldn't have thought of this? No matter what, at least when they see this stone, it's impossible for those guys not to come. And that's enough.

As long as they enter Tripolis, there will be no need to worry about their disobedience."

However, as soon as these words came out, all the Moria nobles who were in the room all looked extremely surprised, thinking that they had heard something wrong.

"But just relying on the words of us people..." Count Conil also looked a little ugly. They had seen the power of the private army under Archduke Anastasius in the battle of Fort Wiscari. That was according to Man

The elite troops built according to the standards of Emperor Nuer's military reforms are all elites who can equal a hundred. It is not easy to coerce them with just the few people under their command.

But Leosgros seemed to have already expected that the nobles in front of him would have such questions, and said calmly: "What's there to be afraid of? We still have our Latin friends, don't we?"

"Pull...Latin?" The Morian nobleman, whose face was full of astonishment, was even more stunned and couldn't believe what Leosgros said.

"You...are you kidding me, Duke Leo?!" Conil, who was sure he heard correctly, looked livid, but the man in front of him already looked calm.

"Is there any problem with this? You should be very clear by now. As I said when I was exiled, for us, Justinian is the most terrible enemy. And the same is true for the Latins.

, since we are the enemy of our enemy, then it is possible for us to join forces. Otherwise, we have no other way to hunt down that dangerous little fox."

At this moment, when the man's cold words fell, all the Moria nobles present felt a chill in their hearts. They once again felt the terror of this man. Unexpectedly, in order to deal with Justinian, Leosgros would even lead the wolf into the house. Indeed.

The remnants of the Achaean princes in Corinth still had considerable power, but

The price paid after this can be imagined. And they had to admit in their hearts at this moment that apart from this method, there was no better way to deal with Justinian. Similarly, except for Leosgros, the "betrayer"
