The Bulgarian city of Burgas, another pearl of the Roman Empire on the Black Sea, was headed for the Doge's Palace in the dead of night.

By the time the guards at the Doge's Palace noticed something unusual, it was too late.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the Greeks in the city, and the time has come for the Bulgarians to fight for freedom! ”

Suddenly, the whole city woke up like a sleeping giant, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and a group of Bulgarians with swords in hand led by Theodor came to the governor's palace.

"Where did the rebels come from? Who rebelled? Where are the reinforcements? Governor Ivaylo panicked, he was already in disarray, and grabbed one of the guards and shouted.

"Theodore Arsen, he is the one who led the troops to rebel!"

The guard's reply discouraged Governor Ivailo, who was a great Bulgarian nobleman who controlled most of the forces in Bulgaria, and if he defected, Bulgaria would not be able to be saved.

"Kill! Keep killing! Not a single one to stay! Theodore slashed over a Greek who had rushed at him in a panic, wiped the blood from his face and yelled at his men.

The once beautiful Burgas was on fire, and the sound of swords clashing was everywhere.

"Give it to me, break open the gate of the Governor's Palace, go in and catch Ivayro, and cut off his head, hahahahaha!" Ivan Arsen laughed maniacally and commanded his men to ram the gates of the Doge's Palace with a giant cylinder.

"Brother, this old thing has built the gate very strongly, and the defense facilities of the Governor's Palace are built according to the bunker-style fortifications, and it seems that it will not be able to penetrate for a while!"

"Ivan, you bring fifty good scaffolding ladders to climb up from the south wall, don't let that old thing Ivaylo escape, otherwise it will be bad for the emperor to know the news in advance!"

Theodore had been in the army for many years and knew most of the city's defenses, and the southern wall, which was a little low, could be used as a breach, and once the Doge's palace was captured and the waterways were blocked, the other rebel armies in the interior would quickly respond and join them, and then they could fight a protracted war with the Greeks.

"Kill it, hahahahaha!" Ivan's laughter came from within, and Theodor was overjoyed.

After a while, there was a loud fight inside the gate, and the screams were endless, and the gate finally opened with a creak.

"Don't panic, Romans, keep fighting, resist! Resist! "Still commanding the battle was the captain of the Governor's Palace, Shishman, who was so favored by Ivaylo that he rose through the ranks of the ranks, and despite the unfavorable situation, he continued to fight.

"Shishman, Shishman, hurry up, take me out!" With trembling legs, Ivaylo barely stepped out with the help of two servants, and came to his chief of guard.

"My lord, now as long as we hold the gate and gather the remnants of the army, we can still hold on to the mansion! Now that he has fled, Burgas is no longer owned by the Empire! "Shishman couldn't believe that his governor was on the verge of escaping.

"Shut up, I'm the master of this city, I want you to protect me from here now!" Ivaylo was furious, this untouchable was just a dog he had promoted, and he dared to disobey his own will.

"Alright, my lord, as you wish." Shishman had no choice but to agree, after all, he was only a small guard chief, but unfortunately he had the intention to kill the enemy and was unable to return to the sky.

"My lord, what about the soldiers who remain at the gate?" Shishman couldn't help but ask, it was all his own robe, and he couldn't bear to give up like this.

"Shut up, it's a glory for those untouchables to die for me, you know! I'm a nobleman! You can't die! Ivayro's expression was frenzied, and Shishman sensed that his master had lost his former demeanor.

The hastily retreating Doge's Guard soon fled from Burgas, and the flames burning behind him made Hishman's heart ache, how could the foundation of Rome be lost like this!

"That old thing just ran away like this?" Theodore looked at his brother dissatisfied

"There's really no way, that old thing has long legs, I led the soldiers to chase him to the city gate, and he is gone."

Ivan was helpless and let go of a governor, and soon the Roman emperor would command a large army to retaliate, and they lost a time to prepare for war.

"What are you talking about, it's only been reported now, the Bulgarians are now making trouble all over the territory of Rome, and I, as the emperor, am actually the last to know, what are your spies doing!"

Alexios could not believe what he had heard, Turnovo, Sofia, and Burgas had all fallen into the hands of the Bulgarians, and now the rebels were arrogant and directed towards Macedonia.

"Your Majesty, the Bulgarian rebellion has not been foreshadowed in advance, our sword of Damocles has only been established for a few months, and the stalls cannot be spread to various regions, please give your ministers a little more time."

Licinius prostrate on the ground and kissed the emperor's feet, his attitude was extremely humble and humble, if the emperor was angry and sent him into the dungeon, perhaps he would have to be in the company of rats for the rest of his life.

Alexios closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and his heart gradually calmed down, the second kingdom of Bulgaria, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, is Emperor Basil still too merciful to these remnants?

In an instant, the emperor opened his eyes and kicked Li Sini away, scolding: "What are you doing cowering? You are my sword of Damocles, the king of darkness, the nightmare of the enemy, if you only kneel on the ground like this, cry and cry, what do I want you to do! ”

Li Sini secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor scolded himself to show that at least now the anger had passed, but in any case, he had to make up for it, and he was afraid that he would lose his value and be abandoned by the emperor if he was not afraid of making mistakes.

"Stand back, find out what happened, I want all the details of Theodor's rebellion, and send someone to arrest Ivaylo and send him to prison." The emperor spread out on the throne and supported his head with his hands, these enemies from all sides were simply too many.

……

……

"So, now the Emperor is in a bad trouble with the Bulgarian rebellion?" Masked men talk in the secret room in the darkness of the night.

"My lord, that tyrant is now gathering an army, the second army of Khayyam in the east is already on the way to Constantinople, plus Theodosius's third army and the emperor's Varangian guard and some auxiliary legions, the emperor can gather an army of about 40,000 people!"

"It's a lot, after all, the Normans in the west are eyeing each other, the Hungarians in the north are not honest, the Turks in the east are not vegetarians, and the Bulgarians are making such a fuss, our Emperor His Majesty will not be able to stay in Constantinople for many days." The masked man held the pearl in his hand, as if he had seen the goddess of victory beckoning to him.

The charm of the throne is really unimaginable, we just released the news, several other big nobles have taken the bait, can the emperor still survive the internal and external enemies at that time, the masked man finally couldn't help laughing, maybe the lusciousness of the supreme power can make anyone lost!
