"What's going on?" Looking at the Moria army that had already formed its formation in the Reach, Nicholas looked shocked, angry and unwilling. He attributed all the responsibility for this to the negligence and incompetence of his subordinates. Several pointed out

The war officers were severely punished, and one general was even executed for leaving his post without permission. In the Battle of Reeds alone, he lost nearly a thousand troops. But what made him even more unacceptable was that such a huge loss was still not able to be recovered.

The lost fortress.

"Useless trash." He dismissed his trembling subordinates and stood on a high platform overlooking the enemy's formation with a solemn expression. He thought victory was already within reach, but he never expected that complications would arise at this juncture.

The two armies faced off, and the enemy army in front of him completely blocked his way to Agrinion. Nicholas finally realized that he had underestimated the opponent. The army in front of him had obviously been prepared to wait for him here.

Now there is only one choice before him, which is to use all his strength to defeat the obstructive army in front of him. As long as he defeats them, Agrinion will be at his fingertips, and the rebels in Thessaly will be wiped out.

But Nicholas did not order the army to attack again. After much thought, the nobleman made another choice. He ordered his attendants to prepare for him a bright armor decorated with gems and gilded armor, and took out his

The mount, draped in gorgeous horse clothes, slowly appeared in front of his military formation, surrounded by grand guards of honor.

Just listen to Nicholas standing at the forefront of the battle line and say loudly:

"Commanders of the empire ahead, why are you blocking my way here? You know that in front of you are His Majesty Michael's heavenly army. The traitor Theodor Doukas has been executed and is now stationed in Rus

The great emperor of Nina was particularly merciful, and he always corrected those who had made serious mistakes.

Xin, those who abandon the dark and turn to the light can forget the blame. Since I came here, as the commander-in-chief, I will naturally carry out the will of His Majesty the Emperor. As long as you get out of the way and submit to me, you will definitely be rewarded. Otherwise, there is no need to blame the army for passing by.

No scraps of armor will be left behind."

It can be seen that the appearance of this army that suddenly appeared in the Reach is very different from the Thessalian army and the Agrinion army that they encountered in the past. The unruly Nicholas also adopted the method of courtesy first and then fighting. If this army can be induced to submit,

For himself, then everything that follows will no longer be in suspense. Although this unknown team brought him a lot of trouble just now, Nicholas still admires them very much and does not hesitate to offer a large reward.

But when the military formation in Moria slowly separated in front of him, and the commander on the opposite side also showed his true face surrounded by sergeants, the smile that had been warm just now on Nicholas' face completely froze at this moment.

"You are...Justinian?!"

Even though it was their first official meeting, Nicholas Ovania still recognized the black fox battle flag behind him. He had heard about it in Epirus, and he had also seen it before the city of Thessaloniki last year.

The appearance of this flag here means that its owner has also arrived here. It is obvious that the man who is in charge of the military formation on the opposite side and is about the same age as himself is the little fox from Moria.

Enemies are really jealous when they meet. When he saw Justinian, he immediately recalled the humiliation he suffered at the Rusnina Tournament. At that time, Nicholas Ovania was full of confidence and thought that he could win the crown.

But on the way, he was beaten black and blue by the Kipchak warriors under Prince Theodore, and he fell unconscious halfway. Only a few months later did Nicholas learn about the so-called Kipchak warriors.

It was this Justinian who pretended to be a warrior. Nicholas was very angry when he learned about it at the time, not only because he lost the opportunity to perform well by his father's side, but also because he could not accept his defeat to a nouveau riche villager.

Hands. Now I will think of the humiliating words the other party left in my ears at that time. The face of the nobleman who was still warm just now is already full of murderous intent.

And Justinian could see the change in Nicholas's expression clearly. Of course, he still remembered the illegitimate son of Emperor Mikhail whom he beat violently in the martial arts competition. It was the most enjoyable fight for him, and he must have beaten the other party.

It must also be kept in mind.

This couldn't be better. Justinian thought to himself that this was what he wanted. Then he ordered the guards in front of him to withdraw their shields to temporarily retreat, and calmly walked to the front of the military formation to face him.

He glared at Nicholas Ovania.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Ovania, or His Highness?" Justinian took the initiative to approach. If it were not in front of the military formation, he would almost think it was the reunion of two good friends who had not seen each other for a long time, but his words had a profound impact on Nicholas.

But it sounds like a mockery, and every word is extremely clumsy.

"Don't mention my name, you rude people. In the past, when you came to Epirus to seek refuge, His Majesty Mikhail gave you a shelter and ordered you to garrison Ilovan Castle. You did not want to repay the favor, but instead fought with the traitor Theo.

Dorhang is colluding. Today

You dare to commit the following crime! Why don't you restrain yourself quickly, otherwise you will be shattered to pieces!" Nicholas, furious, waved his riding crop and pointed it at Justinian, completely losing his thoughts on using him for his own use just now.

But his jumping look looked like a clown to Justinian. He only heard him sneer at Nicholas: "Why did Your Excellency Ovania say this? I have never been loyal to the tyrant king.

How about repayment! Please note that on that day, I escorted Emperor Muziphius, and by His Majesty’s order, I recovered Moria, killed the enemies who invaded our territory, and drove away the evil.

How lucky are my people to have committed the following crimes? On the contrary, Michael Dukas, as the lord of Epirus and the co-emperor, did not want to assist His Majesty Muzfius but instead secretly imprisoned him.

, I only know that exterminating dissidents at home will lead to the destruction of all living beings, and forming alliances with foreign countries to flatter the enemy will bring shame to the empire. The one who is really colluding is not me, but the worms of you and other countries!"

"How dare you! You dare to slander His Majesty Mikhail!" Nicholas, who was so angry at Justinian's words, his eyes widened, and the unknown karma rushed to the top of his head, wishing to smash Justinian in front of him on the spot.

Thousands of corpses.

Justinian, who successfully angered his opponent, sneered and immediately issued a letter of challenge to the opponent in front of him.

"It's useless to talk more. Since you want to win favor in front of that old man Mikhail, then come and fight with me. Let me see if the so-called emperor's illegitimate son has this ability. I hope you won't do what you did in the tournament.

So vulnerable."

Justinian's bitter sarcasm completely angered Nicholas, so much so that he lost his last trace of reason and failed to notice the other's intention. The desperate illegitimate son roared angrily, and between the eyes of the two, the grand war started again.
