"Kill out! Fight out!"

No matter how much Rainier roared, he and the knights under his command were exhausted and unable to break through the encirclement formed by successive Greek soldiers. At this time, the Greeks were also furious, even if someone's shoulder blade was pierced by a spear.

, the soldier who gritted his teeth also forcefully

Holding the barrel of the gun, he pulled the knight off the horse. After a while, accompanied by several whining sounds of the horse being stabbed, the last resistance of the Latin people on the streets of Filpopolis disappeared without a trace, just like the city.

A few ice floes that fell into the water on the bank of the Outstrimon River in early spring.

Standing on the top of the city, Baptiste silently watched everything that happened. At this time, the white light gradually emerging from the east attracted his attention. Morning was coming, and the bloody night and fog were about to end. But this was almost

The destroyed town was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and even the cries of crows could not wake up those sleeping people.

"You are simply a lunatic!" Arslan's voice came from behind Baptiste. As the direct commander, the young Turkic man with blood-soaked robes looked at the back of the Latin man in front of him, but his eyes were not clear.

He seemed to be suspicious of Leng Jun before. All this happened had to make Arslan change his view of Baptiste.

"This is the first time that thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people have embarked on such a military adventure. Even I have been so crazy for the first time! If it weren't for the internal agents deployed in the city before, and the attack at night, the hundreds of Latin soldiers in the city would definitely be enough to defeat them.

Us." Arslan still has lingering fears in retrospect. It can be said that being able to destroy this Latin army was a complete fluke. However, he now

The only thing I couldn't understand was the purpose of the Latin man in front of me. The Latin man who had been standing still and even had a conflict with him took the initiative this time, and even pretended to be blackmailed and handed over all the command to him. Arslan was really

Without understanding the other party's intention of doing this, even if they win Filbo Pres, what significance will it have to their current situation?

"Isn't this exactly what you have been asking for? I just asked you to do what you wanted to do before." Baptiste did not turn around, still standing on the top of the city looking at the rising sun.

But Arslan refused to give up, wiped the dried blood stains on his face and asked: "So many people died, just for a ruined city that these untrained villagers can't defend? It's not like that."

Your style. Since you want me to help you, don't beat around the bush with me. I don't have as good a temper as Lord Justinian."

"Well, this is why Lord Justinian wanted to recruit me into his service." Baptiste, who was annoyed by the question, raised his forehead and said, turned around and looked at Arslan behind him and asked two questions in a row.

"Do you know who the real enemy we are facing now? Do you know what is the most important thing now?"

"Of course they are Latins! The most important thing is to kill them." Arslan replied without hesitation, but was immediately interrupted by Baptiste in front of him who stretched out two fingers.

"You are wrong, it was never them. What we really have to watch out for are the two eagles in Agrinion and Rusnina and the nobles in the city. They are afraid of the fox in their mouths.

Fatty meat has long been coveted, but

It's just that they never had the chance to take action. But it's different now. When the news of Princess Eudocia reaches their ears, Thessaloniki will definitely become a thorn in their side and in danger. That's why I decided to do this.

"

"Do this?" Arslan is still a little confused. If this is the case, what does it have to do with the Latins?

And Baptiste unhurriedly picked up the burnt branches on the ground, used the scorched ashes to draw a map on the slate floor, and said: "Filbo Pugliese has been Rome for hundreds of years."

It was an important defense town for the barbarians north of the Danube. The reason why Henry of Flanders ordered people to seize it after Boniface's death was for the safety of Constantinople. But now if he knew that an army of thousands of people

His army conquered this place at all costs. If you were him, what would you think?"

Baptiste said meaningfully, and even the dullest person suddenly understood these words. Looking at the confrontation between the various parties on the map, Arslan suddenly woke up and was soaked in cold sweat.

When philip

When the news of the fall of Pugliese reached Constantinople, the first reaction of the Latin Crusaders was that the Greeks would counterattack again. With thousands of troops, even if they were a mob, the opponent would definitely weigh it and never

I will sit back and do nothing.

"You mean..."

"Drag the Flemish people into this quagmire - in this way, Ducasse's young people will definitely be afraid of the rat, and similarly, the Latins will not dare to act rashly. This will buy us more time to wait for the investigation

Lord Stinian's reinforcements have arrived."

"But you guys who did this don't seem to have discussed it with the princess before, right?" Arslan finally reacted and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He couldn't bear to look at the corpses piled up on the ground. These refugees who had lost their homes

, paid the price of their lives in order to regain everything that belonged to them, but the result was just smoke prepared for Baptiste's series of plans. If they knew the truth, they don't know how they would accept this cruel reality.

But Baptiste said coldly: "This is a necessary sacrifice, and it is also a reality. Thessaloniki does not have that much food to feed them. Even if they refuse, they will still be expelled from the city by the nobles and left to fend for themselves."

Destroyed, this result is already the best ending. Our Royal Highness the Princess is still

I simply don’t understand that this war has reached a life-and-death situation among all of us, and we must not show any more mercy at such a juncture. What’s more, the deaths of these Slavic mountain people are not meaningless. After everything is over here, it will be enough.

Let those bastards in Thessaloniki shut their mouths for now.”

After saying these words without any emotion, Baptiste turned his gaze to the distant east. At this time, the sun had completely crossed the top of the mountain and shone on this silent town. There were only a few sounds.

The cries of crows hovered above their heads.
