"This is..." Although Murad was a mercenary, he was also an exiled nobleman. He immediately saw the extraordinary nature of the ring in Arslan's hand.

That was definitely something only a high-ranking person in the Roman Empire could possess, but how could a young man with less than a bandon's troops in such a small place have such a thing.

Before contacting him again, Murad actually believed for a while that there might really be someone special in this castle.

Although I am very unwilling to do so, if the opponent really possesses a powerful weapon like Greek fire, it will undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to our own side, and it is hard to say whether we will be able to escape unscathed by then.

But Murad's men looked completely angry——

"Master Murad must not be deceived by those Greeks! With us, we can definitely take this castle to avenge our brothers."

"Yes, you give the order!"

"These miscellaneous fish and shrimps are no match for us!"

These Turks have no self-consciousness at all and still look confident.

"Everyone, calm down!" But Murad suppressed the noisy arguments of his subordinates with his majestic voice.

There was silence for a moment, no one dared to challenge this man's authority.

"But now we..." Some people still felt unwilling to do so. After all, in their opinion, this castle was simply vulnerable.

But at this moment, Murad had already made a decision. He looked at his son and said: "Arslan, go back and tell that boy that I accept his conditions and let him release the other prisoners and we will leave here."

"Lord Murad!"

Seeing this scene, the other Turkic warriors couldn't help but objected. How could these brave warriors accept such humiliation? Now they just wanted to rush in and cut the Greeks in the city into pieces.

"Are you going to disobey my order?" Murad opened his eyes and roared angrily, raised the riding crop in his hand and waved it in the air, causing the Turkic warriors who were still clamoring for a fight to finally dare not say anything more.

"Yes, father." Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, and Arslan nodded. He knew that Justinian let him go to let him be responsible for the negotiations. His father's agreement also made him feel relieved.

, at least they still have a chance to escape intact.

With that said, Arslan remounted his horse and turned his horse's head towards the open gate of Ilovan Castle. Justinian was also waiting for his return.

"It seems that it's not what I expected." Justinian nodded slightly, and a big stone in his heart was put down. These Turks did not let him down. They finally compromised, and this was the best solution for both parties.

…

…

…

At the same time, on the Genoese ship anchored at the seaside, the Genoese quickly learned the news that the Turks had given up their attack.

"It's incredible, that boy." Christopher put down the quill in his hand and murmured to himself. He was originally just testing this boy named Justinian. He would still take action when necessary. After all, he is Andre.

Adoria's friend, but he never expected that Justinian's performance completely exceeded expectations.

On the contrary, Christopher felt that he was even more unable to see through the young boy.

"Then - Mr. Christopher, should we just wait and see what happens?" Bentick, who was standing aside, still looked cautious.

But Christopher suddenly stood up and changed his previous attitude, "It seems that this boy may really have something extraordinary, and it is worthy of Andrea to give him the oath of gold coins, and order the people below to dock! Just rely on

Those Greeks cannot suppress those Turks."

"Yes...yes, Sir Christopher." He almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Bantic did not expect that Christopher, who had always hated Greeks, would change his mind at this moment. But this is the best, otherwise he would come here

It would be a waste of time to go back to this place, and it would be difficult to return. Bantic quickly went out and gave orders for the sailors to prepare to dock.

…

In Ilovan Castle, negotiations between the Turks and Justinian were still continuing.

"We can leave here, but you must release all the prisoners unconditionally. This is our bottom line." Arslan put forward the negotiation conditions. In fact, this is now equivalent to the Turks surrendering. They cannot confront this castle head-on.

But at least it should not be too embarrassing. Murad asked Justinian to return all the captured things and prisoners so that he could lead his men away from here.

However, completely contrary to Arslan's expectations, Justinian flatly rejected such a condition that was so beneficial to him, but said: "The captives can be let go, but according to custom, you must pay a ransom. As for the captured things,

Our spoils of war should be regarded as compensation for the damage you caused here."

As soon as these words came out, Arslan was completely taken aback and said: "You are crazy, this is impossible." He did not expect that Justinian would raise the price at this time.

"Nothing is impossible? Now the situation has reversed. You just asked me to cease the war. I have plenty of patience." Justinian said calmly. At this time, he was not busy accepting the Turks' compromise at all.

And this completely angered Arslan, "Are you kidding me?" Now the Turkic mercenaries have no money to pay the ransom, and the horses, armor and weapons captured by the other party are a big expense.

How could it be that Justinian was given an advantage? But at this time, Justinian was sure and they did not dare to attack.

"Of course not. Do you mean that I can just write off the ravages of you people on my territory?" Justinian suddenly looked cold, and his cold eyes made Arslan couldn't help but retreat in fear.

Two steps later, this young man no longer looked like the cunning fox before, but more like a cruel lone wolf.

But Arslan shook his head and said: "This is impossible, this condition is too harsh. Even if I go back and tell my father, according to his temper, he will just attack this castle desperately." His words were not.

It's an exaggeration. If Murad leaves like this, he will definitely not be able to suppress the opposition of his subordinates, so he can only capture the castle at all costs and wash away Ilovan's shame.

Arslan is warning Justinian not to push his limits——

"That would be nerve-wracking, so that's what we have to do." Justinian's mouth slightly raised a sly arc. He had expected this, but it should not be the nature of a negotiator to ask for high prices and sit back and pay back.

It's divided, isn't it?

"Then let's find another way to pay for it!"

"Another way?" Arslan was slightly stunned, not understanding what kind of medicine the young man in front of him was selling in the gourd.

"I hope to hire you to do something for me. As for the reward, I won't pay you a penny. I can return the captives and captured items to you. How about that?" Justinian finally said what he had been preparing for a long time.
