Chapter 16 Return
On the seaside of Igoumenitsa City, many people gathered to join in the fun. Due to the inexplicable martial law in the past few days, there were originally many fewer merchant ships and guests. However, when people watched the soldiers hauling a large number of people from the deck,
A lot of loot, so
Some people were all astonished by this. It was obvious that they had to go through a huge victory to achieve such a rich result. However, they had only seen the garrison navy coming back from the sea in a panic a few days ago. They were no match for the raging Croatian pirates.
I still wanted to continue to see what was going on, but on the pier, the officers and soldiers who came over started to drive away the crowd as soon as they arrived, not allowing anyone to stay here any longer.
"General Ximien, I should not disappoint you!" Justinian walked down from the deck and said with a relaxed smile, and in front of him, the belated garrison commanders Ximien and Igu
Menica, who stayed behind in Orsini, was dumbfounded by the large amount of loot brought from the ship. It was hard to believe that what he saw was real.
"You...you really did it, Lord Justinian?" Even though he handed the army into Justinian's hands, Simien was still not reassured. After all, how strong was the Venetian defense on Corfu?
He was still aware of the horror, not to mention that Justinian had achieved such huge results. For a while, the man had a completely new understanding of the young man in front of him.
This is the little fox in Moria. A young man who originally seemed inconspicuous could finally make the powerful Latins frightened. He regained the lost territory of Moria and Athens and established a great reputation. For a moment, he was very hopeful.
Mien also seemed to understand that Muzfius at that time
The emperor must send Justinian out of Rusnina, which is in the whirlpool of power. When the Fox of Moria, who has a strong army in his hand that is enough to control one side, comes into people's sight, he is not only a weapon to intimidate the Latins
The sharp sword was a serious problem for Emperor Michael Dukas.
Thinking about it makes his scalp numb. Ximien is even more glad that he made the right choice to leave in the first place. However, this time he agreed to provide convenience for Justinian and it would be a big trouble if he was discovered in the future. However,
Now that he has made a promise, Simien is a smart man and he knows that he has no room to refuse now.
The young man in front of him was not something he could easily fool.
"All the Venetians on Corfu have been expelled. Even if they want to rebuild, it will take a long time. Without their help, Croatian pirates will naturally not dare to act rashly and actively attack again. I believe you will not be disappointed with this result.
?" Said in an understatement, Justinian had an unfaltering calmness on his face, and he did have this confidence, which made everyone in Igoumenitsa feel more in awe of him.
"So what happened before...?" Justinian asked.
"Of course it's no problem, Lord Justinian, everything will be taken care of by the villain." Before Shimien could answer, Orsini stood up quickly and took the initiative to express his goodwill and agreed.
"Then everything will be troublesome for you two." Upon seeing this, Justinian nodded slightly, trusting the two of them, he immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to get off the ship.
When the strong Turkic cavalry and the fully-armed Moria new army appeared in front of Himien and Orsini, they both became a little nervous for a while, even though they knew that this army would not attack them.
However, they still felt a sense of oppression coming towards their faces, which made them breathless for a while.
"Is this such an army? It's incredible." Orsini looked at Justinian's leaving back and said.
On the side, Ximien also nodded and said: "It is indeed unbelievable, but it really happened, and all of this happened in just over a year." Both of them had witnessed the collapse of the empire.
I have seen the imperial army become decayed and sluggish, being chased north by the Latins and Turks like a lost dog.
But now, under the leadership of this young man named Justinian, it is like a new look. Not only can he defeat the arrogant Venetians, but he can even make the arrogant Turks serve him. This kind of ability, think about it.
It makes people feel incredible
Discussion... Maybe the existence of this young man can really change the fate of this country! This idea suddenly popped up in his head, and Ximien couldn't help but feel subconsciously surprised by the thoughts that popped up in his mind, but he
I unconsciously feel that this is indeed the case.

…
The villa in Igoumenitsa was originally a place used by the empire to receive foreign merchants. Due to the arrival of Justinian and others, Shimion and the others arranged for them to live here temporarily. Although the conditions were average, it was still good.
It was relatively clean, at least not too crowded. Overall, Justinian was quite satisfied with the place.
As soon as he stepped into the yard alone, the figure of a little guy suddenly jumped out and threw himself into his arms.
"Uncle Justinian!"
I saw a little girl in a purple robe greeting me with a smile on her face. Her angelic face and heavenly voice seemed to have cured Justinian all at once. He had experienced a fierce battle on Corfu Island and was covered in pain.
The fatigue also disappeared in this moment.
"Are you still used to staying here when I'm not around, Helena?" Justinian asked, holding the pretty little girl in his arms.
"Well, I'm getting used to it. Uncle Justinian, look, look, these are the new clothes my mother made for me!" The little girl said smugly, pulling her sleeves to show off.
Only then did Justinian notice that Helena was dressed completely different from when she arrived. She had put on a long purple dress, which set off her childlike and delicate skin as white and delicate as porcelain. Her hair was originally tied into two pigtails.
I also pulled up my hair and put on a few
The trinkets used by children of aristocratic families are even more playful and cute. At this moment, Helena standing in front of him was like a real little princess, straightening her little body, although her face was full of childishness,
But it has an indescribable unique temperament.
At this time, a helpless voice sounded from behind the girl.
"Helena, don't be so rude."
The angry mother walked out of the house and was about to teach him a lesson, when she saw Justinian in front of her. She couldn't help but was slightly startled. She subconsciously swallowed back the words she was blaming her daughter on, and it took a long time to say it.
Words come.
"You're back!"
Although there was only one sentence, Eudocia's voice was full of relief. It seemed that all the worries she had been having these past few days were finally freed. Seeing that Justinian came back safe and sound, she
Those clear eyes were actually a little misty.
"I'm back, Your Highness the Princess." Justinian nodded slightly and gently put down Helena in his arms. He looked at Odosia calmly and said. Of course he understood the other party's worries, but now he
Chapter completed!
