The battle on Corfu ended with the surrender of the Venetian defenders on the island. No one expected that this battle would come to an end in such a short period of time.

Taking stock of the trophy he received and the surrendered Venetian prisoners of war, Bantic was also overjoyed at this time. It seemed that Justinian really did not disappoint him. They conquered the castle at almost the least cost, and the Venetians who had lost their fighting spirit chose to surrender. Such a huge contribution was easily taken into his pocket. Bantic couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he looked at Justinian in front of him, and didn't know how to thank him.

"Thank you so much, Justinian. Thanks to you, I can solve the problem here so easily." Bantik said.

Justinian didn't care about this, shrugged and said, "It's just a matter of what you have done to me so many times before, not to mention that there will be some more trouble for you in the future." As he said, Justinian replied, as if he was intentionally and unintentionally throwing the gold coin on his fingertips.

Looking at this scene, Bantik said angrily: "Of course. Even if you don't have this matter, do you have this Doria gold coin in your hand, do I have room for rejection?" His own progress was entirely based on the power of the Doria family, so Justinian, who owned that gold coin, could only send him a word.

"Tell me your conditions, you won't have to pay any compensation at all, right? You will always want anything except the spoils you deserve, otherwise you would have refused to get involved." Then he went straight to the point, and Bantik looked at Justinian and asked. This was what they had agreed on before, and as a businessman, Bantik was still willing to keep his promises for the long-term benefit of this.

Justinian nodded calmly and replied slowly: "Okay, I don't have to be polite. I hope that when my army is stationed in Igumenita, food can be supplied in time, and transportation from sea is the most convenient, which should not be difficult for you. As for the price, I hope it can be more reasonable. Since you and I have reached a cooperation, there is no need to think about knocking too much oil and water on me. I believe you think so too."

"Ha, it's really a good deal for you. Justinian, forget it so meticulously. It seems that you have planned this way from the beginning!" Seeing Justinian blurted out and offered the request for reward, he glanced at the young man deeply, and Bantik said meaningfully.

But Justinian did not hide this and admitted directly: "It is true. In fact, I was counting on the Pizza people at the beginning, but after fighting a long war of verbal battle with them, they were unwilling to let go, so they had to trouble you." The army had not moved the food and grass first. This old saying was the same in both the East and the West. The vanguard troops they led were quite large, and there were also main forces coming here later. Although they brought some food but consumed too much, they were not conducive to the next plan. Therefore, Justinian decided to find another way out in logistics, and then he remembered Genoa in front of him. After all, in Igumenica, General Himion could not continue to provide supplies, and this problem must be solved before the supplies were tight. Bantik was the best choice.

After hearing Justinian's answer, Bantik suddenly laughed and covered his stomach and said, "I want to seize food from the innermost part of the Pizza people. It's you who really deserves it, Justinian! Do you know how to describe the Pizza people in our place?"

"What?"

"In Italy, people would say that they would rather a devil knock than a pizza come and knock. But if you really negotiate with those pizza people, that's what you regret the most. They are the best at using usury in transactions. From the Alps to the Ionian Sea, the Pizza people's reputation is well known." Bantic said jokingly while opening a bottle of wine from the trophy. Genoa and Pizza have always been very tense. He naturally has no favoritism for the Pizza people, and naturally sarcastic and sarcastic.

However, Justinian's next sentence almost made Bantic, who was drinking, choke to death.

"Is it worse than your reputation?"

"You--" The speechless Genoese man naturally knew that his country's reputation in the Mediterranean area was as famous as Venice, which had always made the Pope in Rome feel a headache. However, Venice, which is now in a rage, is even more infamous. He had to say angrily: "Hmph, that's two things. After all, a small character like Pisa can only jump in the entire Italy, and our Genoa stage is the entire Mediterranean and even to the far east in the future." Looking to the east, Bantik's eyes suddenly changed and at this moment there was an inexhaustible flame. It can be said that this is not just what every Genoese has always longed for. From the Alexander era, the entire West had this ambition. It led them to continue to explore and eventually succeed.

Looking at the ambitious man, Justinian really wanted to tell him from the bottom of his heart that he didn't know whether the East or the East was, at least I knew that America was discovered by you Genoese in the future. But at this time, even if he told Bantic that there was an undiscovered world west of the Pillar of Hercules, it would be useless. After all, it would be impossible to complete with the current navigation technology.

"Okay, since that's the case, I believe you won't be as unscrupulous as the Pizza people. Then let's trade the food issue like this!" Justinian stretched out his hand and said.

Bantik also readily agreed to Justinian's request and shook hands to complete the deal. "No problem, my fleet will continue to send you food from Alexandria, Tunisia and Naples, as long as you prepare the money." His identity is different from before, and this is still easy to grasp.

"Then please." After resolving this concern, Justinian could finally prepare for the next step. After all, a battle like Corfu is just a test of the waters, and the next decisive battle with the Latin Empire will inevitably no longer be as relaxed as before.

"Okay, since everything is over, I'll send someone to send you back! I have to deal with the matter on Corfu, so I can't send it to you in person." After thinking about it, I still have to be busy with work, Bantik was about to send his men to arrange a ship to take Justinian and the others back to Epirus.

But at this time, Justinian stopped him, holding an invitation letter in his hand, and the young man stared at Bantic with a burning look, which made him feel a little nervous.
