Chapter 43 Surrender
"That's—everyone stop shooting!"
Arslan immediately saw that the conspicuous military flag was Justinian. The lonely boy rushed directly into the battle formation. He immediately ordered his subordinates to stop shooting arrows. Justinian was theirs no matter what.
employer.
"Is he crazy?" Looking at Justinian with incredible eyes, he could not understand why the other party did such a stupid move. Those Varangians would tear him into pieces. At the same time, because of Justinian
The Turks had to be cautious about rushing into the chaotic crowd and stopped shooting at the Varangians.
"Kill -!" Nevsky still didn't notice that he had just escaped and was still leading his men to fight to the death. However, his companions - the pirates didn't care about their lives or lives at all, because
Due to the fierce fighting of the Varangians, the Croatian pirates were able to escape back behind the city wall, but Wolff had no intention of joining Nevsky.
These damn pirates!
Although Nevsky didn't expect anything, he still overestimated Wolfe's integrity, and he actually used them directly as cannon fodder. At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves attracted their attention, and only hands could be seen.
The rider holding the battle flag led the way, but did not avoid Varangian's furious charge but instead came towards them.
Hitting an egg against a stone!
Nevsky sneered in his heart. Under such a situation, there were still people who dared to challenge them head-on. The man holding a giant ax with two hands rushed forward, and the huge battle ax struck directly with the wind and hit the horse.
Head. This requires extremely strong courage and martial arts, because even in a head-on confrontation with the cavalry, even the powerful heavy infantry may be seriously injured or even killed directly by the collision. But Nevsky is a powerful Varan
Kyrgyzstan Guards, so there was no hesitation in that attack.
The horse that Justinian was riding had no protection and was knocked to the ground by the fierce and fierce battle axe. However, Justinian had already anticipated this, so he was already ready to take off in the saddle.
Almost at the same time that Nevsky swung the axe, Justinian unleashed an astonishing bouncing power and jumped over the opponent's head to behind Nevsky, and the battle flag happened to cover Nevsky.
sight.
Like a cunning and agile fox, Justinian pulled out the self-defense hunting knife from his waist and put it on the man's neck. It seemed easy, but Justinian's heart was already beating wildly at this time, slightly uncomfortable.
Be careful, he might have died at the hands of the other party beforehand.
"Captain Nevsky!" The other Varangians exclaimed loudly. They did not expect that the powerful Nevsky would be attacked. By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
And Nevsky was still in shock. This was the first time he had seen this strange fighting method.
"Put down your weapons, otherwise I can't guarantee his life safety." Justinian looked at the Varangians coldly. He initially targeted Nevsky. But he was in the same situation.
It was dangerous. The Turkic cavalry on the outside could not come in. If he thought about it, he might be torn to pieces by these violent Nordic warriors at any time.
As expected, the remaining Varangians stopped their movements in defiance and stared at the young man in front of them, but in their eyes they wanted to tear him into pieces.
He actually fell into such a little trick! Nevsky was also very upset about his miscalculation, but he did not expect to survive safely in the first place, he just wanted to die with honor and dignity.
"Then, you can chop off my head as you wish. All team members must obey the order and kill this kid immediately!"
Nevsky did not hesitate at all, but there seemed to be no subordinates around him who could carry out this order with the same decisiveness. Justinian exhaled forcefully, it seemed that the god of death just passed by, and the other party said these words
He couldn't help but tremble slightly inside
"...Saved a life. It seems that although you are very confident, they are not so firm that it doesn't matter if you die. Unfortunately, your subordinates' loyalty and love for you is better than death in battle.
"Justinian said with a facial expression, but there was no meaning in this sentence. Justinian had indeed seen the pride of the empire - the style of the Varangian Guards.
"I thought I had successfully trained them. I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed."
Nevsky shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"You want to force us to surrender! Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't be able to go back unharmed." Nevsky was not a man full of muscles, and he immediately guessed Justinian's plan.
intention.
"Indeed." Justinian nodded without any cover-up.
"Are you kidding? Do you think the pride of the Varangians is so cheap?!" Nevsky roared angrily.
In the tense atmosphere between the two, Justinian still had a joking tone, and the Turks who saw this scene did not dare to act rashly. This made Nevsky realize that the boy in front of him seemed to be no ordinary person, and looking at
After seeing the other party's attire, he was a little confused. He didn't look like those Latins or Turks, but looked like Romans.
Facing Nevsky's roar, Justinian still replied without changing his expression: "Of course I know that you are proud Varangians, and you are also the guards under the Purple Throne. I'm afraid you are serving a group of pirates.
It’s the cheapest.”
"What do you know, brat!" Justinian's words undoubtedly touched Nevsky's objections. Of course he knew this truth, but when he was desperate after the fall of Constantinople, he had no choice.
Otherwise, he could only let himself and his men starve to death, and he was unwilling to serve the Latins. Although they were the Varangians from Northern Europe, they had been emotionally identified with the Romans for generations.
identity.
But at this moment, Justinian took off his chainmail gloves to reveal the gold ring on his middle finger, with the double-headed eagle on it looking angry and ferocious.
"Of course I know, but do you still remember the glory you had?"
As a member of the Varangian Guards, Nevsky recognized the private seal used by the emperor at a glance. It was not something that ordinary people could hold. It was the private seal of Emperor Muzfius.
One of the captains of the Guards had seen it before, and it could never be faked. He subconsciously loosened his hand holding the axe.
"Bang!"
"That is the ring of His Majesty Muzfius... How come it is in your hand?" Nevsky asked with a trembling voice. After escaping Constantinople, he also tried to find the emperor's whereabouts but found nothing.
He couldn't help but get excited when he saw the royal ring.
"So you recognize this thing! Then I ask you as a person loyal to the emperor, whether your oath to the Eagle Banner Throne is still valid, Varangians!" Justinian scolded, all the Varangians
The Langi people all looked at each other. Although they were dubious, the ring could not be fake. As imperial guards, they recognized that it was the private seal used by Emperor Muzfius.
But how could it appear in the hands of that young man?
"Are you from His Majesty Muzfius?" Nevsky's voice could not help but tremble, and he became excited. He did not expect to meet his cronies who were loyal to the emperor here.
"That's right, His Majesty's throne has arrived in Rusnina, and are you still willing to fulfill your oath?" Justinian could only take a gamble. As Muzfius, who originally controlled the imperial army and ascended the throne, and Vasily before
Judging from the attitudes of others, the Varangian Guards may be supporters of Muzphius. And judging from the current reaction of the other party, it is indeed as Justinian expected.
Sure enough, Nevsky did not hesitate at this time, and immediately knelt down on one knee and swore to Justinian.
Chapter completed!
