"Your Majesty, our reinforcements are coming!"

"Shut up!"

When he saw Count Seine leading an army to the battlefield, Alexander was not as ecstatic as the soldiers around him who thought reinforcements had arrived. Because at this time, the appearance of this man was undoubtedly too abnormal. He had already been on the battlefield before.

When Senna disappeared, Alexander realized something was wrong.

On the other side, Justinian also noticed the sudden appearance of an army behind Alexander. As its military appearance was tidied up, Justinian frowned subconsciously. He did not like this unruly army.

Army, but it must be admitted that this kind of military regulations is very light.

Because the flag hanging in this army is extremely familiar to everyone, that is, the Achaean battle flag, and the person leading them is none other than Count Senna who suddenly disappeared on the battlefield before, and they appeared at this time

What was going on here? Everyone felt nervous for a moment.

He already had a bad guess in his mind

At this moment, when the intact troops under Senna spread out and appeared behind Alexander, the man's face showed confusion and surprise, and when he looked at the expressionless Count Senna who was also looking at him at this moment, he felt a sense of confusion.

That ominous premonition came to Alexander's mind again.

The other party will never come to help him!

Just when he was about to order all his subordinates to be alert, he saw Count Sena raising the sword in his hand, and then a group of soldiers from the Achaean army came out with crossbows and aimed ahead. But these crossbowmen

The target was not the Greeks, but the Latin troops who were looking at everything blankly.

not good!

Everything that happened in front of him was just as he expected. Alexander, who was shouting in his heart, was shocked and angry, but it happened so fast that it was too late.

"Hidden! Hidden!"

When Alexander roared, the trigger of the crossbow had been pulled, and the Latin troops who had no time to react had no idea what was going on. But even if they were aware of the danger in time, those sleeping outside would be unable to do anything.

One second they were awakening and encouraging for the arrival of friendly forces, and the next second their bodies were pierced by crossbow arrows. Many people did not know why they lost their lives until they died. Immediately, most of the Latin army's rear troops, who were not prepared at all, were killed or injured, and the arrows

The rain had just subsided when I saw two cavalrymen on both sides rushing diagonally towards their rear. They were the cavalrymen of the Achaean princes.

These warriors all belonged directly to Count Senna and were personally selected by him. They were all the best warriors in a hundred. The Achaean cavalry held shields and lances and wore simple chainmails and killed Alexander's central army. However,

At this time, Alexander's men had no crossbowmen at all to stop the incoming cavalry charge, because most of them had been killed in the previous battle.

"kill"

These Achaean cavalry came from Catalonia and went to the East to make a fortune as mercenaries. It was for this reason that they were hired by Count Senna. Therefore, when these cavalry rushed into Alexander's military camp and massacred them

, they have no mercy at all.

"how so?!"

"Why? Why!"

The screams of the dead and the cries of survivors resounding in the sky. The Latin soldiers who were fighting a bloody battle with the Roman cavalry in front of them never imagined that they would be stabbed in the back by friendly forces, especially when Alexander's army was shrouded in the rain of arrows just now.

There were heavy casualties. And

Many of the noble knights on horseback were shot and fell off their horses, including King Alexander himself who could not escape. At that time, the Latins were in chaos. Some soldiers watched their king fall from the horse. Soon this

The rumor spread throughout the army.

The fear spread by the rumors also created an opportunity for the Roman cavalry led by Justinian to break through the enemy formation. This scene was very similar to the Norman conquest of Britain. The two sides were fighting in a stalemate, but the accidental death of Harald changed the outcome of the war. Only

However, Alexander did not accidentally fall off his horse like William, Duke of Normandy, and immediately returned to the horse to boost morale. In order to bandage the wound, a short period of time was wasted, which also determined the final outcome of the war.

The Latin soldiers on the front line finally could not withstand the cavalry attacks from both sides, not to mention the panic caused by the huge threat from the rear. Even the king's personal guards under Alexander finally could not withstand the pressure and were broken through.

Once the front line was broken, the officers first gave up resistance, and soon the soldiers also lost their fighting spirit. Especially

In particular, the Achaean army, who were also French, actually chose to surrender to the enemy and attack them. This was a heavy blow to the morale of the Latins. The kingdom's vanguard fled, and other stragglers naturally did not have the courage to resist. A series of chain reactions began.

Suddenly the balance on the battlefield fell to Justinian's side.

"Launch an attack and annihilate them!" Without waiting for Justinian's order, I saw the excited Roman cavalry shouting for peace, dragging their swords and harvesting wantonly among the chaotic Latin troops. Every charge

, they can all take away several lives.

Blood dyed the ground red, and under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the bodies of soldiers piled up like mountains. Both sides paid a huge price.

Soon, Alexander's army completely lost its ability to resist. Under the command of Justinian, the only remaining Latin army was divided and surrounded by cavalry attacks. They completely became lambs to be slaughtered.

Looking at this scene, Alexander only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. He was holding on and watched the army that he and his uncle had worked so hard to manage be completely lost, and he almost fainted.

The battle has entered a fever pitch. The dense formation of the Latin army tried to form a human wall to block the cavalry. However, it had no effect in front of the heavy armored cavalry in the hands of Justinian. The lightly armed archers with only their bows could not do anything to the heavy cavalry.

The armor and the human wall collapsed suddenly, and beyond the spearmen, the cavalry's pursuit of the archers became a carnival, and soon the light infantry were all killed by the knights in the Latin army.

The isolated Latin army was constantly being compressed and massacred, with fewer and fewer people able to resist. Without unified command, the soldiers fighting independently were as vulnerable as street gangsters on the battlefield. The Achaean cavalry and

The Roman cavalry completely destroyed the army in front of them at a very small cost.

The battle was not slow. In the blink of an eye, the Latin army was wiped out. Only a handful of people were left, who were the king's personal guards under Alexander's command. These tenacious soldiers were all selected by Alexander from the Sicilian Crescent Church.

Although they had different beliefs, they were very loyal. Therefore, the people protecting the Catholic king were a group of enemies of Catholicism. This scene was extremely ridiculous.

The reason why they survived was not because they fought bloody battles, but simply because Justinian did not order his soldiers to destroy them.

Alexander also saw this, and in his opinion, this was tantamount to Justinian's humiliation of himself.

This man who abides by his knightly honor was furious. Unable to bear it, Alexander pushed back the guards in front of him, dragging his scarred body slowly toward the Greek and Achaean armies that were surrounding him.

Alexander took off his helmet, took off his chainmail, and walked slowly.

"Senna, you despicable villain, you are plotting against me!" Looking at Count Senna who was standing in front of Justinian at this moment, Alexander finally realized that he had fallen into the opponent's trap from the beginning of this war. Senna simply did not

It's from Justinian's side, that is to say, from beginning to end, Justinian

Dinni knew his arrangements well, so it was no wonder that he lost so completely. He couldn't understand why Senna would do this and willingly surrender to the Greeks in front of him. You must know that the Achaean princedom was the first to be defeated.

Logically speaking, the one in Justinian's hands should have higher hatred.

Faced with Alexander's rebuke, Earl Senna acted very calmly and said calmly: "The calculation is true, but it is not despicable. I am a retainer of the Grand Marquis William, and I am assisting his son to inherit Corinth, so naturally I must be loyal.

Do you really think that I haven't discovered your covetousness towards Corinth? I just made a small deal with the Greeks, and it's you who really got into this situation, isn't it?"

The evil intention towards Corinth was the main reason why Count Seine chose to betray. As an illegitimate son, Charles Chaplet was not legal enough. It would be easy for Alexander to abolish his title. Therefore, Count Seine finally made up his mind to rely on Charles.

Dinny's power eliminated the threat of Alexander. As for the others, Senna himself didn't care. What really counts as a loss is that a few nobles affiliated with Achaia were wiped out. What's more, Senna has already entered a semi-independent state.

The count wished they were killed.

"Ha, very good, you are very good..." After receiving such a reply, Alexander laughed dumbly. He looked at the Greek young man who was also looking at him at this time, and pointed the sword at him fiercely.

"This time, I lost. I lost so completely that I no longer have the qualifications to become your enemy and threaten you. But I refuse to accept it! I can succumb to the powerful force that defeated me, but I can never accept that I will lose.

In the hands of you, a fox who only knows how to play tricks. If you are still the warrior of the empire that you claim to be, then fight me in a duel and speak with your true strength!"

Alexander held a broadsword in both hands and raised it in front of him to challenge Justinian who was sitting on the horse. This was not a ridiculous move. In fact, in the Middle Ages, from Western Europe to the Near East, duels between nobles were not uncommon in wars. For example,

The Nicaea Empire was facing an attack by the Turks. Legend has it that Emperor Theodosius killed Sultan Khosrow of Rome in a duel and averted a huge crisis.

Now, Alexander is also trying to make a comeback in this way. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he wants to grasp it. As long as he can return to the city of Athens, he will have the possibility of making a comeback.

But Justinian had no intention of accepting his challenge. No matter how provocative the other party was, Justinian remained unmoved. He looked at the other party coldly, "You and everything you are doing now are so evil."

Funny. Including what you are thinking about now. Alexander, you said one thing wrong. You have never been qualified to be my enemy. Otherwise, I would not have been like that outside Thessaloniki.

Let you go."

Such arrogant words came from Justinian's mouth without any sense of violation. Because it was him, he was qualified to say these words, and every word was like a sharp steel needle that directly poked this airman.

Deep in the heart of the titular king, his last pride no longer existed at this moment.

But what Justinian said next completely made Alexander lose his calm.

I saw a sneering young man riding a horse looking at Alexander, "Do you think you have a chance to make a comeback even if you are fully recovered? At this time, the city of Athens is no longer in your hands, and now you are truly landless.

The king."

"What did you say?" Alexander stared at Justinian with a shiver in his heart, unable to believe what he heard. For the first time, Alexander thought this was a bluff. Even the Pope wanted to follow him.

Searching for any trace of falsehood on that face failed, but there was no trace of bluffing in Justinian's unchanging expression.

At this time, the man seemed to have remembered something

"It's...the pizza man!"

"That's right? When you led the army to besiege Argos, the Pisa navy in Nafplio had already left for your home base of Athens. And you only wanted to capture Argos and lure me into the bait. How could you remember that

Then send someone to investigate the movements of the Pisa people." Justinian looked at the terrifying look on the man's face, with a hint of amusement in his expression. When Sena leaked the news of the Latin attack to him, he immediately went

master.

The trembling man was furious. He finally understood the reason why Justinian had been silent in Nafplion. It turned out to be this! If he had attacked Nafplion from the beginning, maybe he wouldn't have

It was such a miserable defeat. But now it's too late to say anything.

Staring at Justinian on the horse, Alexander was no longer as reserved as before. The man who was close to crazy now had a cold light in his eyes.

Kill this kid!

Holding the sword in his hand tightly, the Latin man lowered his body and suddenly rushed towards Justinian. With one strike of his backhand, he wanted to kill Justinian, but Alexander almost succeeded. Justinian, wearing heavy armor,

He could only choose to go into battle lightly to show that he was strong and strong. He swung the broadsword in his hand towards Justinian's neck and wanted to kill the opponent in one fell swoop. At this time, a brand new change was coming quietly.
