The stretch of Pindus mountain range lies between Epirus and Thessaly. Although the altitude is not exaggerated, the vast hills are a nightmare for all travelers, and the army is unwilling to march here. It is precisely because of this that Thessaly and Peloponnese in the south need not worry about threats from the north, but only need to pay attention to the vast sea.

Precisely because of this, the army of the co-ruling emperor marching from Rusni was not hindered in the slightest along the way. Commanding them is Mikhail Dukas’ illegitimate son Nicholas. The co-ruling emperor was very romantic when he was young, and some people joked that his illegitimate son could form an army for him. Nicholas is undoubtedly the one that Emperor Mikhail valued the most. In addition to his handsome appearance, he also practiced martial arts and was able to command an army. Mikhail had considered acknowledging his identity and giving Dukas the name, and Nicholas thought so too. But in the competition a year ago, he lost his face in the duel with Justinian, and this matter was not over. So this time Nicholas took the initiative to ask for it, in addition to hoping to regain his father’s favor, the more important purpose is to avenge Justinian, the culprit responsible for all this.

Nearly 10,000 troops marched southward, and there were thousands of light cavalry in the team. Many of them were Latin horsemen who had fled from Achaia. Although Emperor Mikhail and the Venetians agreed to send a special teacher, he still showed his preference for this illegitimate son and gave it to Nicholas to a team. Therefore, in Nicholas’s opinion, he has a chance to win. All the way, he ordered his troops to march across the mountains and march south. As long as one more hill, you can reach the third pass of Pingdus, and then you will be the Agri of Pingchuan. Nyon Plains.

“Master Nicholas, are we marching too fast? There are already troops behind, and even if the people in front can bear it, the horses are too tired. Can we take a break for a while, anyway, leave and the Venetians? There are still a few days left on the agreed date.” Nicholas’s deputy General Valous suggested in a huff. He is an experienced veteran, but he has been out of the army for many years, so he is covered with fat. It made him very uncomfortable in the bumps on the road. He hoped that Nicholas would order a slowdown in the march, but he was going to be disappointed.

“The soldiers are so fast! We can take down Thessaly and Agrignon earlier in the march. Do you want to disappoint His Majesty the Emperor?” Nicholas retorted the elder general without giving any face to it.

“But if this goes on, the army will get tired before reaching the destination. What strength is there to fight!” Valous couldn’t help saying, already complaining in his heart why the emperor sent him to do a chore.

“Don’t you know the news brought by the scouts? Thessaly’s small forward has already approached the city of Agrinon, and the main force has already been pulled from Larissa. We will be tricky in the game one step later. We must take advantage of it. Before the rebels merged, you can get the full power by dividing and striking them. Now is not the time to complain!” Nicholas, who was so full of his military exploits, couldn’t listen to Valous’s reasonable opinions. He gave orders that there was no room for negotiation. .

“Tonight marching on the night road, you must arrive at the northern side wall of Agrignon tomorrow. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed by the eleventh slam in order to follow suit!” Nicholas said coldly, and from his mouth. Speaking of this ancient punishment, everyone’s heart trembled, and the fearful soldiers bowed their heads in fear. No one thought that Nicholas would actually take out the torture of the Republican era. Now this kind of thing has long since disappeared, but no one would doubt that the illegitimate son of the tyrannical emperor would not do it. Even General Wallus, who was originally opposed, was suffocated, and finally closed his mouth and chose to swallow.

An exhausted army embarked on the journey under the tyrannical whip of Nicholas, and another army beyond the distant mountains also trudged through the valley with difficulty.

…

…

“The valley you are talking about is here?” Justinian looked at Sergius who had brought him over and confirmed again.

After leaving the army station dozens of miles away, under the leadership of Sergius, Justinian finally reached the valley that the mad monk said, and looked suspiciously at the bare rock wall, he could not see what was wrong here. same.

Sergius saw Justinian’s doubts and answered calmly: “It’s right here. It’s exactly the same as when I was back then. Could it be that the little foxes in the Peloponnese would worry about a small fox? Not a small valley?”

“I am worried that it is not this valley, but you.” Justinian stared at Brother Sergius and said calmly, “Why do you want to help me?” He and the other party had never met the monk for the first time. There must be some reason for helping himself openly or secretly. He didn’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

Faced with Justinian’s questioning, the mad monk laughed loudly, “My dear lord, is there anything weird about this? It’s just a matter of handy. I really like His Royal Highness Irina, this child doesn’t want her. Just die like this and nothing more. As for the reason for coming here, my destination is the same place as you.

“What do you mean?”

“I also want to go to the northern border wall, where there is still an army stationed there. The noble lords did not care about the life and death of these soldiers at all. They seemed to have forgotten them. And I was entrusted to send a letter to them. The son is there.” There was a lonely look on the face of the frantic monk. Although they only spent a short time together in Agrinon and Dmitri, they were the rare real ones in his life. Friend, entrusted by others, and loyal to others, he must bring that letter of family safely.

Just as Sergios Wu said to himself, “Brother.” Justinian’s warning was low and hasty.

Sergius came back to his senses, only then did he realize that at some point the figures had surrounded them from all directions. Justinian held the sword in his hand vigilantly, and the obvious threat had already enveloped the valley. But the mad monk grabbed his hand: “Don’t act rashly~www.mtlnovel.com~Master Justinian.”

Standing up, Sergius looked at the figure that came up. It was already evening, and he said loudly: “We have no intention of offending, Albanians, just passing by here to ask for your help.”

The sound echoed in the empty valley, and all the movements of the figure in the valley stopped.

He only heard the reply from the other party, “This mountain is ours, stranger.” A low, determined and unfriendly voice. “You shouldn’t break in without permission, this kind of action must pay a price.”

“If this is the case, then I apologize.” Sergius answered politely.

“Then ask for forgiveness when you ascend to heaven to see God.” Another voice replied, and the burly man in animal skins walked out with a long-handled battle axe in his hand. As he moved forward, a mad bull appeared in Justinian’s sight.
