Chapter 29 Reconciliation

Justinian leaned over and pressed the bleeding wound, but obviously the trauma caused by the spear was not shallow at all. Fortunately, Justinian asked the old doctor in Genoa when he was in Ilovanburg before, and he still had some experience in trauma treatment, at least he had a way than these young boys. He casually tear off a clean cloth and bandaged the wound, and tied it with a strip of cloth to press the blood vessels and control the looseness and tightness, which turned the original bleeding injury back.

Even so, the injured person who had been bleeding for a long time was already pale at this moment. If this continues, he will have to kill his life.

Seeing that his companions were finally rescued from danger, the young people of Vadarita who were still worried finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they looked at Justinian, and their originally strong hostility suddenly subsided a lot.

"Thank you for saving him. He is only fourteen years old. He shouldn't have brought him here. If he had anything to do, I don't know how to explain to his parents after I went back." Seum looked at his companion's death and finally got relieved. At this moment, Justinian in front of him finally let go of his guard and vigilance, and expressed his gratitude.

"So, what happened today was your own decision?" Justinian had already guessed it. Obviously, this was the act of a group of young and energetic young boys, but he could already understand how much Bulgarians had treated the Vadalites before.

"It is true, but it is also the Bulgarians who took our old leader, burned our village and forced us into the mountains, trying to make us surrender. But they would never know that we Vadaritae could be destroyed but would never be enslaved!"

These words suddenly became a little more tragic when they said it from Seumm, and the other teenagers responded passionately one by one. At this moment, Justinian suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen the group of resistance troops he had encountered in Constantinople, never surrendered and never compromised, and this was the most valuable thing.

Justinian nodded and said, "It is true that even if truly powerful people are destroyed, they will never surrender to their enemies. I also hope that you will always be able to uphold this creed and remain unchanged for life. Since everything is over now, I think it is not too early, so I will send someone to send you back!" Justinian's words won the favor and friendship of these young people, but these young men who have not yet left their childishness are still unwilling to leave.

"We came here to save our old leader Semius. If we do not achieve our goal, we will never go back. If it is true, as you said, Lord Justinian, you are not a member of the barbaric Bulgarians, please release our leader and return the war horses that had plundered our tribe before and returned to us for freedom." With courage, seeing that Justinian might be a trustworthy person, Seum said half-pleasantly, hoping that Justinian could help them escape the slavery of Bulgaria in this matter. Since the fall of Constantinople, they had to wander from their original hometown of Macedonia and entered Bulgaria, but what they had never thought of was heavy shackles. At this moment, they just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.

But they didn't know that what the Greek young man in front of them was to take them back to the empire and restore their former glory.

In the face of Seum and others' begging, Justinian did not agree directly, but replied very calmly: "I know what you want most now, and I have said before that I am here to help you, but before that I hope you will go back first and tell your tribe that tomorrow, I will take your old leader Semius to go there personally. At the same time, everything that the Bulgarians have squeezed on you before."

"Really...really?"

The young men of Vadarita who were unbelievable opened their eyes wide. They thought that their request might be rejected as falsely as before, but they did not expect that Justinian in front of them would agree to them so neatly.

Looking at these ecstatic teenagers, Justinian nodded calmly and said, "Of course it's true, so I need you to rush back to report the message immediately. I hope that when I go to your tribe tomorrow, I will also point my bow and arrow at my head like I did just now!"

Speaking of this, Justinian and the young men in front of him laughed. Although these nomads had moved to the Byzantine Empire for more than a hundred years, their simple and sincere customs were still reserved. People who believed and capable of speaking like Justinian were the ones who admired the most.

Having completely let go of hostility and alert, Seum nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, Lord Justinian. We believe you will do what you say. As long as you can fulfill your promise tomorrow, the Vadalites will always be your friends."

"If that were the case, it would be my honor." After that, Justinian no longer prepared to delay time. Then Justinian asked Arslan to arrange a team of people to escort these young men to leave Vlachaburg. After all, he had to be wary of someone in the castle that might have ulterior motives. More importantly, in the conversation just now, Justinian found that these little kids were afraid that they were of great status among the tribes. If they went missing and the Vadalites thought something had happened, they were afraid that they would not be able to explain it clearly.

At this moment, when the young men who were looking at Vadalite were sent away, Saleus, who was beside him, finally expressed his doubts and asked: "Mr. Justinian, I have sent someone to release Semius, the leader of Vadalites from the prison. Why didn't I just... "

"Why don't you let him leave with me?"

"Yes..." Still confused about Justinian, Saleus said seriously.
