When the first shell of the main cannon of the Ebius Radiance landed on the beach, the commander of the Parthio mercenaries probably knew that this night, nine times out of ten, it would be the end of stubborn resistance. None of the fishing boats used by the scouts for landing were wasted and were delivered to the fleet intact. A bay that large warships can't navigate, but small fishing boats can come and go as they please.

The spirit of contract is important, but it is especially true for mercenaries when the army is able to control the situation on the battlefield.

Even if Páthio himself was on the island of Kephallonia, how to resist the onslaught of thousands of mounted infantry with two hundred light infantry is itself an unsolvable proposition. What's more, the back of the near-shore camp is no longer safe at this time.

The mercenary commander holding the iris shield blankly pulled out the arrow that had been driven into his armor from behind, not knowing who on the beach shouted, "We are surrounded!" Then came a real defeat - the soldiers of the Phoenix Fleet in fishing boats were barely hindered, and the sparse arrows were completely inaccurate due to the darkness, and they only fell into the swell. Of course, it was Vasika who led the charge, although he didn't like to ride on a boat, but the scene he came down was the favorite massacre of Wallachian men.

"Our most honorable Emperor, His Majesty, is watching our heroism from the flagship! Brothers, follow me! ”

According to the current military discipline of the Eastern Empire, the battle retreated, from blind eyes to beheading. This set of old yellow calendars has been used to this day, but it has given the Phoenix Legion a very strong cohesion and combat effectiveness, especially in the face of disadvantages, there will be almost no formation collapse.

Of course, when it came time to gain the upper hand and charge on all fronts, the soldiers knew that Giovanni had always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and Flora's Eagle Wing Company was an example. Giovannieri, of course, didn't just give him a title, and it was no secret that he went back to how much Flora had moved from the coffers of Gombrigne, although John didn't say it explicitly. The exceptionally perfect reward and punishment system will naturally make the army show a stronger offensive. The fences, fences, horses and barracks that had been erected on the beach were almost all furnished.

The Scout Legion from behind has broken down the mercenary defenses. What Vasika had to do was to take the soldiers to completely wash the entire battalion in blood.

"Well, go into the cabin and tell Your Majesty that Parthio's short illegal reign in Kephalonia is coming to an end. The remaining two coastal defense fortresses are just strong sea walls. ”

Giovanni stood on the deck, and while he was commanding, Vasica and the Wallachian light infantry around him had surrounded more than thirty of Pátiano's mercenaries. They formed a semicircle back to back, with half of it leaning against the outer wall of the barracks. Every now and then, stray arrows flew past their scalps and plunged into the logs.

Patiano's mercenaries trembled as they clung to their axes or handguards, only half of them armed with thick wooden shields. This team of mercenaries is probably a little cheaper.

"General Vasika, the enemy near the coast has been emptied!"

"Light an arrow and get the Legion ready to land. Next, it's time to wash the whole island of Kephallonia. ”

……

"Your Majesty Constantine, good news!"

"Good news?" Constantine XI raised his head, "Have there been any wars in the empire lately?" John's Phoenix Legion should still be cultivating in Gombrigne, right? ”

"That's right. Between the Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands, there is a long-running criminal, entangled with thousands of mercenaries, entrenched here. Shake the rule of the empire through piracy, plunder, and threats. The issue of the tax accounts of the west bank of the Peloponnese is also the one named Pardeo who is causing trouble. The eunuch pinched his voice and sent the war report to Constantine XI's table, "A few days ago, His Majesty John dispatched the entire legion and united with His Highness Thomas to launch a strong attack on Partheno's mercenaries. Now the Ionian Islands are completely under the control of the Empire. It's just that this Parthio is still on the move. ”

"What about the Legion casualties?" Since it was good news, Constantine directly wrote the reply. Dealing with such a rogue mercenary organization, Constantine XI would not be too worried. These war reports were naturally followed by a registrar who sealed them as archives.

"The loss should have been less than ten people, three of whom fell into the water because of a sampan rollover during landing......"

"Ah, got it. Let the treasurer draw some of the pension and send it out. The finances have improved a little now, and this victory can be regarded as the icing on the cake in this period of peace...... Anything else? Constantine XI saw that the eunuchs had not retired, so he asked again.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing you should know...... It was also mentioned in the station newspaper. The eunuch spat out half a sentence, Basilius he served, Constantine XI was not the first, and there were some things in the royal family that should be said and not said, and he knew more than some young eunuchs.

"Just say it. Although John was only a prince, he was also the emperor of the empire. Now that it's written in the war report, what do you have to hide? ”

There was some impatience in Constantine's tone, and the old eunuch had to sigh tremblingly.

"Theodoro was reinstated by His Majesty John, who, though not appointed to any official office, established in Combrigne a deliberative body similar to the Council of the Queens, called the Second Cabinet. Now Mr. Theodoro's status should be the Speaker of the Second Cabinet, that is, His Majesty's Chief Staff. And Mr. Jeffrey, now the Grand Palace of Gombrigne...... His Majesty John wrote these things in black and white in the appendix of the war report......"

Constantine XI was stunned, then waved his hand and retreated from the bookkeeper who was just about to take the war report.

Theodoro and Jeffrey...... Unexpectedly, these two heroes who made the empire survive to my little John broke the siege in one fell swoop, and now, they are standing under John's account again and at the same time...... But this should be a good thing, and there is nothing difficult to talk about. And then what? ”

"The second cabinet, in addition to Mr. Theodoro, added a gypsy woman. It's called Kalujie. ”

"Gypsy woman?" Constantine XI's application changed again, "What's going on?!" ”

"His Majesty John has also promised Kalujie the position of the Empire's counter-espionage mission, but it has not yet been appointed. According to His Majesty John, this Kalujie must be capable. Moreover, it is very likely that this Carujie is still Albrecht's illegitimate daughter, and at some point, she may even bring unexpected surprises......"
