Corfu - this should have been the territory of the Roman Empire, but with the expansion of the Venetians, this island close to Epirus has become an important stronghold for the Venetians to guard the Adriatic Sea. The towering towers on the island

The bunker monitors all passing ships.

Today, the Venetians have become the unquestionable overlord of the sea, and no one dares to challenge their authority, whether the Genoese, Pisa or Saracens.

However, the sudden appearance of a Genoese fleet made the Venetians instantly nervous. The relationship between the two countries has always been at odds. The approaching opponent made the Venetians immediately vigilant. They saw fully armed Venetian militia ready at the port.

The trebuchets were fired, and the ships guarding the island on the other side also raised their sails, ready to enter the battle at any time.

The fog in the early morning was very heavy, and you could only see a large number of ships approaching very close to each other. However, the red cross flag above was still very obvious. They were ships from Genoa, and every Venetian's heart suddenly tightened.

"Warn them not to come any closer!" Under the command of the commander, the soldiers pulled the wooden trebuchet and fired a flaming shell that landed in the sea in front of the Genoese ship.

Immediately, the Genoese sailing ship stopped. It was obvious that it did not dare to move forward after being warned. This made the Venetians on the shore breathe a sigh of relief, but the other party did not retreat and the tense atmosphere did not diminish at all.

"Captain, look!" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted pointing to the sea, and saw a small wooden boat slowly rowing over carrying a few people who looked like they were negotiating.

This left the Venetians completely confused. What is going on?

At the same time, the fog finally dissipated under the early morning sunshine, and the appearance of the previously unclear ships finally appeared in front of the Venetians. It was not a warship as they originally thought, but a group of merchant ships!

…

…

…

"It's easy to hide it from these Venetians. They spent a little money and let us leave." Bantic couldn't help but sneer as he watched his fleet sail smoothly under the eyes of the Venetians.

"I'm afraid those Venetians now will never imagine that these ships are not carrying any cargo but fully armed Turkic warriors!" Justinian, who was sitting in the cabin, couldn't help but teased, such an important ship on Corfu Island.

The Venetians were so lazy. It seemed that they were still immersed in the joy of capturing Constantinople.

"I have taken you to the Adriatic Sea as you requested. How are you going to find those elusive pirates?" Bantic crossed his arms and looked at Justinian and asked. He really didn't expect Justinian.

These are the intentions of Nigeria to borrow the transport ship from him. Obviously after cooperating with Genoa, Ilovan Castle does not have to worry about pirate attacks at all, but Justinian still insists on wiping out the remnants of pirates who attacked the village not long ago. But the key thing is that

There are countless narrow straits and bays in Illyria. Where can I find those pirates?

But at this time, Justinian placed a drawing in front of the man, "This is the drawing of several locations of the pirate lair. This should be enough!"

"Is this the lair where Croatian pirates are hiding?" Bantic looked at the navigation chart in Justinian's hand with some surprise. He was very surprised. You must know that Croatian pirates have always been a very troublesome enemy for Italian city-states, even though they are very weak.

, but their whereabouts are unpredictable, and no one wants to spend time dealing with them.

The Genoese chose to use money to eliminate the disaster, and the Venetians simply bribed them to attack the merchant ships of the hostile forces. But now Justinian is riding a Genoese warship and leading Turkic mercenaries to prepare to attack the pirates.

Several strongholds were demolished.

This is why Justinian wanted to keep those pirates before. After a long period of torture, he finally pried out the locations of several pirate strongholds from those guys.

However, elite warriors were needed to exterminate those pirates, and this important task was naturally handed over to the Turkic warriors led by Murad.

"I'll leave it to you next." Justinian didn't have any navy to transport this army there, so he naturally had to rely on the help of Genoa.

But Bantic completely dismissed Justinian's plan, "The number of Croatian pirates is like fleas on a cow. Even if you pull out one or two, it will be a drop in the bucket. What's the use? If it is so easy."

, we have crushed those bastards to ashes long ago. It is a complete waste of the help I provided you-" In his opinion, Justinian's decision to destroy the pirates was simply a stupid thing, and the gain outweighed the loss.

But Justinian didn't seem to care at all about Bantic's ridicule, and replied: "This is not your concern, Your Excellency Bantic."

Standing next to Justinian, the Turkic Murad glanced at him coldly and said: "After this matter is over, things will be clear between us, right?" The reason why it is still there until now.

The reason for not leaving was because of his previous promise to Justinian. Since being hired, the young man has not given any orders to them. Murad has already become impatient with waiting.

Justinian naturally knew this well, and saw the young man saying to Murad: "I keep my word. After all this is over, you can leave here safely under the escort of the Genoese people, and all the expenses will be paid by me."

Come and bear the responsibility, I will do what I say." He once again spent a lot of money, which made Bantik and Murad couldn't help but be surprised. Where did this kid get so much money.

Seeing that Justinian had said this, Murad had no choice but to nod his head and choose to believe the young man's promise to him, "Okay, my people will obey your command. I still have this professional ethics." He also said.

There is no other way, after all, what he needs with so many people under his command is money, and this boy is like a money bag with no limit, as if he can take out any amount of money.

Seeing this situation, Bantic also understood that Justinian in front of him had already made up his mind. Of course he was too lazy to say anything. The first priority of a Genoese is always business, but he felt a little uneasy for some reason. He always felt that this boy

He seemed to be doing something secretly that he didn't notice.
