As dawn came, when a ray of morning light dispelled the bloody night, there was a dead silence outside the city of Agrenion. In the Sarsali army camped in the water ring outside the city, soldiers fell on the felt carpet and slept soundly, and even the war horses released their saddles and bridles and ate grass leisurely. This scene contrasted sharply with the devastated camp.

"It's so dangerous! If you didn't prepare in advance, I'll explain it here today." Earl Taranit sighed. He didn't know how many swords he swung during the fierce battle in the night, but he felt that his arms were still numb. Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise everyone would be doomed to such a dangerous battle.

"This is the madness of trapped beasts fighting!" Earl Buronius said calmly.

Although the old man said it was light, facing the enemy who had attacked him last night, the cavalry of the Sasaly fought to the death and finally repelled him. The Kuman mercenaries left dozens of corpses, and their side also suffered a lot of losses. Most of the materials seized were burned, and many war horses were killed and injured in the battle.

But finally they completed the task. The Agrignon rebels who did not succeed this time had such an opportunity. They could only hide in the city. Next, let’s see how Justinian continued to complete the game of chess.

...

"Useless things!" Romanus Dukas roared in the study. He was furious that the news that the Kumans had not succeeded made him furious.

"The wound is still scabbed, so it's better not to distort your face too much." Muswar, who was beside him, sarcastically. Even if he doesn't take off the iron mask, he can still be as furious as a student.

"I don't have to worry about it!" Romanus said angrily at the Saracen man, his eyes under the mask as fierce as wild beasts.

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to say that, Your Highness. Without me, you can do nothing. Now let me leave everything! Holding in the city, His Majesty Mikhail's reinforcements and Venetians will attack the ignorant Thessaly people from north to south, and the river valley will be the corridor of their tombs." Although the situation outside is not optimistic, Musval is still fearless. He was buried by Mikhail Ducas by Prince Theodor as a chess piece for so many years, and he officially became a part of the gamer for the first time. Musvar was the first to be a part of the gamer.

Er felt a pleasure that he had never felt before. He was happy to see his students rebellious towards him. Romanus's twisted character can be said to have been shaped by him. As a Saracen, he enjoyed this process very much. Allowing Romanus to send troops out of the city is a plan, which is not only paralyzing the Thessalys and also a means for Musval to weaken Romanus's power. Because he still has to be serious at this moment, so it is better to restrain himself, a student who is only incompetent and furious.

He signaled to retreat left and right, and even the Kuman mercenaries under Romanus were invited out. Musval said: "Next, control of Agrignon is temporarily controlled. Those Kumans will follow my dispatch now. You should not be involved in it for the time being." Then the Saracen man didn't care about the reply under the iron mask and turned around and left the study. He did not notice or did not care at all about the undepressed eyes behind him, staring at him.

At the same time, the mighty coalition of nobles was also heading for Agrenion from Larissa. The nobles who were nominally loyal to Prince Theodor joined the flag of the crusade, but they did not walk the Evenos Valley but crossed the mountain paths in the southern foot of the Pindus Mountain. The road here was obviously much rugged, and the speed of travel had to slow down, because in addition to dealing with the road below, the Thesalians also had to be wary of the hidden Albanian tribes on the mountain. They were bandits who had been living here in the north specifically to rob the house, and the Thesalian nobles also had a headache for them.

"Why haven't you seen Lord Justinian appear since you set off?" There have been rumors among the nobles riding on the horses. As the commander, they have never expressed any words. They are alone in the carriage surrounded by the tightly guarded guards. They are obviously suffering from bumps, but Justinian, who has made up his mind, can enjoy a comfortable feather cover. This makes some decent old nobles have no favors for this young man, and the speculators are full of complaints.

But these words were really unspeakable in front of Hendriel, who led them, but the whispering conversation was mixed with the sound of horse hooves and still penetrated into the secretary-general's ears.

"Hey, man, have you heard of it?"

"What did you hear?"

"Of course it was our Lord Justinian's affair."

"What's strange about this? It's not a strange thing. What everyone here lacks the most is romantic affairs."

"But this has something to do with His Highness Irina Ducas."

"His Highness Irina?!"

"Shh! Sigh down, don't let people hear it! I heard others say that His Highness Irina did not go back last night, but stayed in Lord Justinian's mansion for the whole night! It's no wonder that he has not appeared today."

"You mean?"

"Hehe, people from the ranks have never enjoyed their warm and soft bodies. Maybe they still have endless benefits in the carriage now, and there is no time to do it. Riding a noble little mare is more satisfying than grinding the crotch as quickly as we do, hahaha!"

The excited and vulgar whispers of several little nobles were mixed in the crowd. Obviously, many people knew about what happened last night. Even if Hendriel wanted to stop the punishment, it would be useless, but it would make the matter even more ugly. Hendriel wanted to find Justinian several times, but the guards guarding outside the carriage never allowed him to approach. This situation made the secretary-general angry and anxious. Could it be that the young man's lust really lead to a disaster?

Angry, Hendriel ordered the garrison leader Anthony beside him, "Tell them down the dirty mouths first, and let them know what the cost of orchestrating the purple room is later."

In anger, the man also made a very ruthless decision. Anthony, who was standing beside him, looked surprised and did not expect that the adult would be so impulsive. However, he did not have so much thought. He nodded and chose to do it despite his accident.

Justinian, what exactly do you want to do?

After giving the order, Hendriel stared at the carriage where Justinian was behind him for a long time and refused to look away.

...

...

...

The girl let out a moan, and her trembling body leaned in Justinian's solid arms, and she was reluctant to part. Justinian put her coat on Irina's thin body, and looked at the girl's weak appearance and had to stop for a while.
Chapter completed!
