Into Epirus

The huge fortress lying in the middle between Antonius and Epirus, spent the deceased Sanjek three years plus to build, surrendered willingly to the Romans after a short negotiation. The Ottoman defenders are allowed to come out of the fortress in one piece after discarding their weapons and armours to the Roman safe keepers by the gates. It is obvious that the people inside knew as well that nothing can be done from this point of time onwards, as they seemed to be very happy when raising their hands high up in the air and getting sent back home. 

Looking at this Antonius decided to come up and have a little friendly chat between him and an Ottoman guy that looked like their leader, only to be surprised that this man is actually a native Roman who is able to speak a fluent Greek, only became the leader because people elected him to become one. And he is not the first one to be elected, there was a guy who was elected before him but have already disappeared.
