The iron chain sank into the cold sea water Justinian led the Vadaritas under his command and finally broke through the blockade of the Latins on the water. At this time, the defenders on the shore were exhausted from dealing with the sudden attack of the Niceans and were completely unwilling to take care of the Genoa fleet that they had stopped before.

"It's time to break up. It seems that I can only send you here, my child." On the deck, one-eyed Christopher said his final goodbye to Antonia beside him, while the sailors under his command were slowly lowering the ropes to allow those who followed Justinian and Antonia to transfer to an inconspicuous small sailboat to prepare to leave Constantinople.

"But if that's the case, what will you do?" Seeing the old man in front of him seemingly unwilling to leave with him, Antonia looked at him in confusion.

But Christopher shook his head as usual, "Don't worry, there is no evidence, the guys in Constantinople who are pretending to be powerful can't do anything to me. Besides, if I leave with you, one will have too much risk to the goal, and the other will always have to be cleaned up if there are these messes left."

"But my brother's place..." The girl's face showed a hint of worry. You know, Christopher's approach seemed to be against the Doria family. Such a mess was probably not so easy to clean up.

Seeing Antonia's worries, the old man smiled and said, "Andrea, like you, was the one I grew up watching since childhood. I took you back to Genoa. I understand his character, and everything he did before was his last resort. I believe he would not make things too difficult for me as an old bone. Well, time is tight, you still have what you have to accomplish, right?"

"Grandpa Christopher, I..." Looking at the old man who turned around and left with a hunchback, Antonia also struggled a little at this moment.

But the words that were about to come out were not spoken in the end. The Italian girl who made up her mind finally decided to keep the last secret in her heart, because once the secret was said, it would involve too many people, whether it was relatives or her own friends. From the moment she made up her mind, everything was actually destined.

...

...

...

By the sea wall, the Latin defenders were killed, and Justinian was also taking his men to retreat to the original route. According to the previous agreement, Antonia and the others should have taken action to leave Golden Horn Bay at this time.

At present, the plan planned before has almost been mostly successful. I hope everything will go well in the future! Justinian made his last prayer in his heart, but it was already vain as soon as the prayer was finished.

"Sir Justinian, the road ahead..."

On one side of the sea wall, the wall hit by a catapult collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins, and a huge stone lies in front of Justinian and his group completely blocked their way.

"Damn it, what are you afraid of?" Justinian looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but lift up and punched him hard on the stone wall beside him. At this time, the fall of the sea wall was enough for the Latins to react, and if they wanted to pass through the ruins, it would be too late. At this time, the noise of the army coming from the northwest was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the Latins' reinforcements had arrived, and the retreat on both sides had been completely cut off.

"What should we do? If this continues, we will be surrounded, Lord Justinian!"

After a fierce battle, the Vadaritae people are now exhausted. If they are asked to turn around and fight for another way of blood, it will be too difficult. But if they continue to sit here and wait for death, they will definitely die without a place to bury them.

"Calm down!" Just then, Justinian's majestic voice suddenly sounded and suppressed the restlessness and panic of his troops, and the calmness on the young leader's face also calmed down the unstable army's morale.

"Are any of you familiar with water? I need to swim alone from the sea to meet the Genoese." Justinian asked, glanced at his subordinates around him. Now, he had to seek support, and he had to choose a swimming person among the nomads, although even he himself felt that it was unlikely.

But then a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties stood up, pressed his sword and said with his chest: "I, Lord Justinian, I have served in Constantinople for almost ten years and are more familiar with water than these young people." Since the Vadalite tribe has been following the border between Bulgaria and Thrace for a long time, he has lived a life of living by water and grass, but all men over twenty-five years of age must enter Constantinople to serve. Since this man has been in Constantinople for ten years, I think he must be much better than other young people who have not entered Constantinople.

Justinian nodded, "Okay, then this matter will be left to you. Remember that all of our lives are all about you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission!" The middle-aged man took off his chain mail and took off his upper clothes. He exposed his scarred body. It seemed that he was indeed a warrior.

The man also noticed Justinian's gaze and said lightly: "These are gifts given to me by the Latin pig two years ago. I will not give my life to me before I give it back. I will never be a deserter. I, including everyone else here, believe that only you can give us the anger."

"Well, since you follow me, what's your name?"

"Wild bear, wild bear Karsky. I am willing to serve you with everything I have." The man replied in a hoarse voice, and said as he jumped into the cold sea.

"Well, Karsky, I believe you must be more difficult to deal with than a wild bear. Come back alive and reward merit." Watching the man and the edema waves as the final farewell, and at this moment, the heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the reinforcements of the Latins were finally coming.

Justinian, who slowly turned around, also pulled out his broad sword that had already chopped the rolled blade and walked up to the Vadarita warriors and said, "Are you ready for the weapons in your hands, soldiers?"

"It's time to fight to the death with the enemy, and bet on your life."
