Chapter 10 Unwilling

In the sea and sky, the originally raging storm gradually subsided at this moment. People finally saw the surroundings clearly, but when the Venetians saw the familiar flag that could not be more familiar in the distance, they felt like they were suffering a heavy blow.

"How could it be-?"

Ranieri Dandoro, who was stunned in surprise, did not expect such a scene to happen. At this moment, the eye-catching Saint George flag was approaching them. In front of them was no longer the lonely Genoa ship, but a complete entire fleet.

At this time, the Venetians were horrified to find that the two medium-sized warships they sent to the flanks had been sunk at some point, but because the heavy rain on the sea just now blocked the view, they did not notice it at all. The blazing flames were still burning at this moment, and the sticky asphalt attached to the wreckage of the keel even if it sank into the sea, it could not be extinguished immediately.

It turned out that before we knew it, the Venetians were surrounded by the other party in turn when they besieged the Genoese. Is this a coincidence? It was a coincidence. Just when everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do, the sound of a thick horn was blown, and the sails on the boat also opened like dragons' wings at the same time, and rushed towards the unexpected Venetians with terrifying pressure.

Looking at this scene, the Venetians who were determined to win were extremely frightened and did not know what to do.

"Sir Dandoro, Re…Genoese, so many people came...what should we do!?"

Everyone was looking at their commander, Ranieri Dandoro, who had no regard for the Genoese who were still hanging on the line in front of him, because if this continued, they would inevitably fall into the siege of each other and die without burial. When they came here, they did not expect to face such a large number of enemies in front of them. This was not something they could deal with. Especially when they thought that they had just beaten the fallen water dog and chased the Genoa ship, every Venetian sailor couldn't help but feel cold.

And Ranieri Dandoro, who witnessed all this, couldn't speak for a while, and after a long time he murmured to himself: "How could this happen... This plan should be perfect! How could so many Genoese suddenly appear!"

Logically speaking, the Genoese should be at Molia and Corfu. Constantinople are now under their control and have limited power in the Black Sea. Only then did Ranieri dare to bet on all their wealth to take a military adventure. Now, seeing this fleet appearing in front of him, Ranieri was completely at a loss and fell into great panic.

Without waiting for him to react, the Genoa fleet opposite had already taken new actions, and they saw that the target they chose was another Genoa warship far away from Dandoro and the others.

It was an armed merchant ship under Ranieri Dandoro. Although it was not large in size, it was definitely one of the best armed forces. Before the Venetians could react, the huge warship led by the leader was like a giant beast and smashed it into pieces, which made everyone frightened.

Seeing this scene, the Venetians looked at each other. If they were head-on, they were afraid that the characters between offense and defense would be reversed in an instant. Looking at the target that was about to succeed in front of them, Ranieri Dandoro, who had paid a huge price, was very unwilling to accept it no matter what.

While struggling, I heard a decisive voice from a young man suddenly heard in my ears breaking the silence.

"Get out of the battle immediately, everyone withdraws out of the battle immediately, no one is allowed to fight. Retreat to Constantinople at full speed!"

The one who stood up and gave the order was Baron Serne, a young man from the Venier family who was forcibly taken away by Ranieridandoro before. He shouted loudly when everyone was speechless, but he was immediately scolded by Ranieridandoro.

"Shut up! You're letting everything we did before was wasted, do you know?!"

If Ranieri hadn't been stopped by his surroundings, he would have pounced on him like a reckless man. He had already paid too much for this plan. If he gave up halfway, the future of the Dandoro family would have really become dark. More importantly, he clearly understood what consequences would have happened once the Grand Priest of Constantinople fell into the hands of the Greeks again. In any case, it would be enough to cause an uproar in the Senate, which would be equivalent to sanctioning his political life.

But at this time, Ranieri Dandoro realized that there was no sound around him, and everyone was watching him, but none of these subordinates stood up to express their support - they were indeed loyal followers of the Dandoro family, but this did not mean that everything they did was unconditional.

No one wanted to die in vain, not to mention that they were loyal to the Dandoro family rather than Ranieri. Invisibly, the people on the ship were standing on the side of the young Baron Serenvinier at this moment.

"you……!"

"Everything must be the overall situation first. Lord Dandoro, if this matter is known by the Senate, it will be bad for you and me. Let's stop here. Let the conflict between us and Genoa only stays at the friction, which is the best solution." Senvenir interrupted Ranieri Dandoro's words and said, looking at the Genoa fleet approaching them in the distance, and then ordered the sailors to set sail and collect their oars. At this moment, the wind direction is conducive to their retreat at this time, even if the other party wants to intercept and pursue, it can no longer catch up.

At this moment, the other Venetians on the ship had no objection. In their opinion, Sainvenier's decision was undoubtedly the best choice. Although it was a pity that he almost gave up like Ranieri Dandoro, no one was willing to make a desperate bet like Ranieri Dandoro, and would never have any good results in angering the Genoa in the Black Sea.

...

At the same time, Genoa, who had already made his last attempt on the ship, was unexpectedly surprised by this sudden change. They could not have expected reinforcements to descend from the sky, especially Christopher, who came from Kafa and really couldn't remember Genoa sent such a fleet of fleets here in the Black Sea.

What's going on?

On the other hand, the Venetians, who had already formed a siege to surround them, retreated like a tide, leaving only a mess. Everyone was like a disaster, and there was no happiness to live, but only the fear that would last for a long time in their hearts, and the depression remained in their hearts for a long time.

Have we really survived?

Looking at the scene of the comrades falling around, everyone was questioning themselves, mixed feelings, and at this time the Genoa fleet in the distance slowly sailed towards here, and the cold hearts that made everyone finally slowly recovered.

"Ha, our luck is pretty good. Little Antonia, it seems that I, a bad old man, will not be welcomed for the time being in heaven or hell! It's really shameful!"
