At dawn, the villagers in Ilovan Castle were waiting for the soldiers who left last night.

"Master Justinian, why haven't they come back yet?" The anxiously waiting people stood on the city wall and looked at it. Only ten people went to investigate and they had to worry about whether this young and energetic young man would have any accidents.

"I just went for reconnaissance, and I haven't come back yet. Will something happen?" Several officers said worriedly. It would be terrible if something happened to Justinian.

At this moment, the sentry on guard on the watchtower suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted: "Look, they are back."

What?!

The people who were extremely surprised looked in the direction pointed by the sentry, and sure enough, a dozen figures were heading towards the castle at this moment.

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly!" A veteran saw that something was wrong at a glance. With sharp eyes, he realized that the situation of Justinian and others who came back was not very good.

"What's wrong, Leo?"

"Nine times out of ten, we met those Croatian pirates." The man named Leo said solemnly.

As soon as the soldiers opened the city gate, they saw the soldiers who had left last night walking in with scars, and one of them turned into a cold corpse. It was obvious that they had experienced a brutal battle.

Only a few soldiers were seen supporting the injured Abdera. Leo immediately saw that his old friend's face was pale and he was obviously seriously injured.

"How are you, old man?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me. How are you doing with Sir Justinian?" After waking up from the pain and barely opening his eyes, Abdra managed to show some smile. "Thanks to this Sir, we

Only then can we expel this group of pirates."

Drive out the pirates?!

The moment they heard these words, everyone was stunned. It can be said that in the past twenty years, Ilovan Castle has been plagued by pirate attacks. And this young man actually led a small group of people to drive away independently for the first time.

The pirates, they were completely shocked and speechless.

At this time, Justinian, supported by two soldiers next to him, shook his head and said: "It's just a small group of people who were alone, no more than twenty people."

There were many more pirates who attacked Ilovan Castle than these. Although he was victorious, Justinian did not get carried away by this small victory.

Looking at Justinian and the pirate prisoners brought back, Leo nodded, "Take them for treatment quickly, and you guys will take the prisoners to the prison and lock them up."

"Yes." The other soldiers nodded, and they were very happy to be able to eliminate the group of pirates.

But at this moment, one of the pirates who was tied up got the courage from nowhere and suddenly roared: "Let us go quickly, otherwise we will definitely bloodbath this place next time! Just wait!"

He did not take the Epirus army seriously at all. This pirate was extremely arrogant, but he did have the capital to be arrogant. The number of Croatian pirates was astonishing enough to destroy this barren castle. It would be a matter of time before this group of pirates disappeared.

If you are discovered, there will be terrible revenge.

Leo was frightened when he heard this, but at this moment Justinian, who was injured, left the support of his subordinates and walked up. He looked at the pirates in front of him coldly and said, "Really? It's a pity that you don't have this."

Opportunity."

Subconsciously feeling a different aura of danger, the pirate's voice became trembling without even realizing it.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Because -" Justinian's voice suddenly turned cold, "Next, I will find you one by one and crush them one by one."

After saying that, the arrogant pirate felt his eyes light up inexplicably, and then his neck felt cold, and his vision blurred.

With a "pop" sound, the pirate's head was dislocated, and his head rolled over and fell to the ground.

"Bah-" The blood-spattered corpse fell to the ground, and everyone was stunned. The cruelty shown by Justinian's actions was beyond their expectations.

Looking coldly at the other frightened pirates, Justinian turned to look at his soldiers and said: "Take them down, I will keep them useful."

He didn't keep alive just for the sake of some prisoners. Killing the most arrogant one might make these guys talk obediently! Justinian thought to himself.

But at this time, others were completely stunned by Justinian's actions. Judging from the young man's actions and what he said, there was no doubt that he was planning to eliminate Croatian pirates. However, this seemed to them to be completely nonsense.

I know that although the number of Croatian pirates is small and their combat effectiveness is uneven, they are hiding on countless shoals and islands and cannot be detected by the regular army. Even the Venetians, the maritime overlords, are helpless. But Justinian said that he would completely eliminate the pirates.

, is nothing more than a fool’s dream.

But looking at that cold and decisive face, no one dared to speak, because it didn't look like a joke at all.

"Yes, Lord Justinian." Leo nodded and was the first to recover from the shock, and asked his men to take the pirates down. He stood respectfully beside the young man in front of him, not daring to say anything.

No slightest neglect. Looking at Justinian, the man also realized that Ilovan Castle had ushered in an unusual owner. He vaguely felt that Justinian would bring a big difference here.

"How is your injury?"

Nodding, Justinian didn't care. Although he received several punches, his bones were not broken. He just needed to rest for a few days. The most important thing now was to resume production in Ilovan Castle.

"Now that the pirates have left, let all the villagers return to their homes and resume production. This is a top priority. Let each of them come to me tomorrow to receive compensation." Justinian finally made a decision after thinking for a moment, and this was

Leo was shocked. He thought that the fifty gold coins that Justinian had given out before were all his wealth, but this young man actually wanted to fund the compensation for the villagers to restore their homes, which made him feel that

Incredible.

"I heard you right, Your Excellency Justinian, this is the cost of hundreds of people!" Leo reminded, he thought that Justinian was just acting impulsively, and quickly dissuaded him from making such a decision.

But Justinian shook his head and said: "I'm not joking, and you heard it right. Just ask each of them to report to my office tomorrow, and now you also remember to wake up every morning.

Practice, I hope that after I come, everything here will change." Without mercy, Justinian issued the order, which made everyone present feel shocked, but no one dared to refute, somehow
