"There are assassins!"

With a scream, the soldiers who had been dormant in the dark suddenly surrounded the entire Tsar's tent. They were all fully armed, but these people were not Tsar Karoyan's guards at all.

In the den, just hearing the movement from outside, Justinian had already confirmed that this was a trap that had been prepared for him. He had noticed the strangeness since he was outside, but if he had shown any hesitation at that time, the ambushers outside might have solved him on the spot.

Everything was obviously planned, just to frame him, and the smell of blood that Justinian smelled at this time also made him realize that something was wrong. He lit the candle on the candlestick beside him. Under the dim firelight, he finally saw clearly that a cold and stiff body was lying in the tsar's tent, and that body was the Bulgarian Tsar Karoyan Assen who was trying to persuade him to win over him not long ago.

Although Justinian himself was unwilling to believe this fact, Carloyan, known as the "Roman butcher", was really killed. Just as he was assassinated in history, the fatal knife in his chest made him die on the spot without much struggle. Judging from the degree of blood on the ground, Tsar Carloyan himself was obviously killed not long ago. And he is now undoubtedly the biggest suspect. If he is caught by the group of malicious people outside, he will inevitably be unable to defend himself.

And just as Justinian was in a dilemma, he only heard-

"Swoosh!"

Outside the tent, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air came. The moment the atmosphere was torn apart, Justinian changed his face. He immediately reacted and fell to the ground quickly, which made the arrows that flew over his head unable to take his life.

But even so, Justinian was still scared in his heart, but he let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the opposite side was also a little afraid, so he did not dare to rush in and rush forward immediately. If that were the case, Justinian, who was outnumbered, would undoubtedly die.

Even so, Justinian is still in a desperate situation. He completely underestimated the lower limit of the Bulgarians. In a sense, these guys are really the successors of Byzantine. They even learned the conspiracy and assassination of the palace. The young people surrounded are now hanging on a thread, and outside the tent, the Bulgarians' bows and arrows are still shooting. Justinian barely hid behind the table and survived. Now his only way out is to rush out and siege back to his own camp, but there are all enemy archers outside. At this time, you can't expect the opponent's archer to stop attacking!

Justinian, who didn't say a word, also smiled bitterly in his heart. This time he was really in danger, and the other side was obviously prepared to kill him. The only thing he could do now was to delay time as much as possible, but when Justinian's eyes swept around casually, it suddenly fell into a pool of blood, but Justinian's eyes suddenly jumped and stopped.

It was the iron crown of Bulgaria. Although it was covered with Tsar Karoyan's blood, Justinian recognized it at a glance with his sense of the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant. At this moment, the pendant that had been hanging around Justinian's neck once again emitted the familiar light white light - the Ark of the Covenant woke up again for the second time today.

The tender voice sounded in Justinian's ears, like a timely help, and Justinian couldn't help but be stunned for a long time and couldn't speak.

"Sure enough, I'll still need to help you, but at least you finally handed over the second piece of fragment into my hands."

As soon as the words fell, a white light emitting from the floating ark of the covenant suddenly became fierce. Before Justinian could even react to what was going on, he was suddenly swallowed by the radiant light. Then his eyes turned dark, and he felt that at this moment, he seemed to be the deepest falling to hell and no longer felt any more.

...

...

...

"What the hell happened?!"

When the assassin's scream came from the Tsar's tent, the Bulgarian nobles and soldiers rushed towards the place. Everyone had focused on the city of Thessalonika, which had happened before, but they did not expect that their Tsar would have encountered an assassin. The nervous people rushed there immediately, including Prince Theodor who had just heard the news. He also knew Justinian's plan, and he thought that he had succeeded in seeing the movements in Thessalonika. However, before he could be happy, he heard such ominous news. He was uneasy and immediately arrived at Tsar Karoyan's tent, but had seen a large number of people feeling it. The rumors that followed confirmed his uneasiness before he came, and this news also changed his color.

Not long ago, Tsar Karoyan died in assassination!

The panic haze enveloped everyone's heads. The king of a country was assassinated. Now that the army is outside, the leader of the dragon. Theodor's heart suddenly became cold when he saw this scene, and all his previous efforts were wasted.

But what happened next made Theodor Ducas even more unexpected-

"Who killed His Majesty the Tsar? We want to make him pay his blood debts and blood!

I don’t know who was the first to shout this sentence in the crowd, and it was like igniting the emotions of the entire Bulgaria. The eyes of the passionate Bulgars were filled with flames of revenge. Theodor was frightened when he watched this scene. Somehow, the atmosphere seemed to have become a little bad.

The next moment, a sharp-pitched Bulgarian eunuch suddenly pointed his finger at him and shouted, "They were the ones who killed His Majesty Carlohan, these Greeks. I saw with my own eyes that the Greek named Justinian walked into the Tsar's tent, and as soon as I entered, I saw that His Majesty had fallen into the pool of blood."

What?!

At this moment, many people who had changed their color turned their hatred eyes on Prince Theodor who was standing behind them and those around him. Fortunately, the guards were following him all the time. The nervous Roman soldiers quickly blocked Theodor Ducas, guarding against the Bulgarians who might suddenly attack.

At this critical moment, a voice sounded and stopped the excitement of Bulgaria from pursuing revenge indiscriminately. The person who came out was either the young grand duke of Bulgaria, Ivan Assen.
