Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 18: First move (on)

As the important town connecting the Peloponnese to Athens, the city of Argos has also begun to prepare for war. Although the Achaia state had to submit to the Roman Empire of the Greeks not long ago, it was followed by the Latin Empire and the Northern Latin Empire. The military victory of Thessaloniki, the Latins here are also ready to move. However, the Greek army in the south is undoubtedly a huge threat. Because of this, in order to remove this thorn in the flesh, the Achaia state is also mobilizing its army to prepare for action.

It can be said that on this, the attitudes of the Latins and Justinian are surprisingly consistent, that is, to eliminate each other first regardless of the consequences.

Therefore, the city of Argos, as the most important town closest to Tripolis, first began to fight hard. The vanguard was led by Viscount Senna and several Frank knights, who had more than two thousand elite troops from Corinth, arrived here as a striker. Military affairs.

And the reason why Viscount Senafanis took the initiative to ask for it this time was to recapture the city of Karamai, which was originally his fief. At the beginning, because of the war in Athens, he was called by Governor Gottfried Willeha and took the army to leave his feast. However, on the front line, he learned that the Greeks had taken advantage of the vacancy and had taken the city of Karamez that belonged to him in one fell swoop. It irritated him, and Baron Louis, the lord of Tripolis who was killed at the time, was also his best friend, so he strengthened the man's determination to avenge the Greeks.

But Sir Baptiste, who had seen everything that happened in the Southern Peloponnese, was very aware of the horror of the young man named Justinian, especially the cruelty of the Battle of Alfios at that time. He also experienced it personally. , I saw the opponent's perfect art of war.

In fact, Baptiste is very worried about the impulse of the lord in front of him this time...

"Master Senna, do you really insist on being the commander-in-chief of this expedition alone? Just relying on me and our words, is there something wrong..." Baptiste, who was uneasy in his heart, still persuaded him, hoping that Viscount Senna would wait for other troops After arriving together, they were preparing to attack Tripolis.

But the man at this time couldn't listen to Sir Baptiste's advice at all, "I have decided, I must be prepared to beat the Greeks by surprise in the next few days!" Of course Senna heard the rumors in the south. Whether it was Alfios River or Fort Wiscari, they all learned of that kid named Justinian's terrible name. But he didn't think so. In his view, it was nothing more than a trick that the Greeks took the opportunity to attack. And this time, he personally led the army to come, absolutely do not believe that he will repeat the same mistakes.

After all, it was just those guys who were too careless. The mere Greeks were driven out of Constantinople by them more than a year ago like a bereavement dog. Even if they had a threat not long ago, it was in the eyes of Viscount Senna. It's just relying on the power of the Bolgars, and it's not worth mentioning.

"But Master Sena!"

"Enough, I don't want to repeat it a second time. Baptiste, I don't need a cowardly person by my side. If you still look like this, you can leave here immediately." Senafanis didn't hesitate to call. He cut off his deputy and looked at the other side coldly, obviously worrying about the matter of Sir Baptiste's escape without a fight.

In fact, not long ago, even the Grand Marquis William Chapulitt, who had always exercised restraint in diplomacy, had changed his previous policy and agreed to the plan to attack the Gottfried Palace and prepare to fight Thessaloniki. The southward army joined forces to deal with the Greeks, and the first thing to do before this was naturally to take down Tripolis, who was on his back, and they would have no worries after defeating the Greek army here.

"Yes!" Seeing this, the ashamed Sir Baptiste nodded and couldn't say anything. Because he had seen the horror of the boy named Justinian, he felt a little uneasy, but at this time he could only comfort himself. This time, the Achaia state did mobilize the power of the whole country to prepare first, even if the kid is more powerful, With the people he currently has, he can't support the suppression of absolute power.

The two thousand elites led by Viscount Senna and the garrison of Argos itself almost exceeded five thousand, and this was just a forward force.

Perhaps the previous worries were indeed unnecessary. Baptiste, who thought in his heart, tried to calm himself down and walked out of the shadow of the war a month ago.

However, at this moment, the vigilant bell in Argos suddenly rang at this moment, causing panic among everyone in the city, and Baptiste and Viscount Senna immediately became vigilant. This was only when the invaders appeared. The bell will ring only at a time, and the ringing at this time also means that some danger has occurred.

"Go to the wall! Order all the troops to prepare for battle!" said without hesitation, Viscount Senna made a decisive decision. Although conceited that he was strong, the man did not relax his vigilance, and Baptiste also reacted immediately and nodded. Pass orders.

...

But when the Marquis de Seine rushed to the city wall to check what happened in the first time, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him~www.wuxiaspot.com~A mighty army appeared in the field of vision from the south towards where they were. The city of Argos slowly approached. Senna saw at a glance that this was not the Latin army on his side, and the flying Greek double-headed eagle flag made his heart chuckle.

"It's them!" At this time, Baptiste also saw that the Greeks in the southern Peloponnese did not curl up in the city of Tripolis, but instead took the initiative to attack. This is incredible.

More importantly, the number of enemy troops seems to be not small, and it is not at all as previously known. For a while, the defenders of Argos City were screaming, and these Latins also showed a panic.

However, the decisive Viscount Senna immediately gave the order: "Baptiste, you go to see if the fortifications are completed? Order everyone to prepare for battle, it seems that now we are preempted by the Greeks." Seeing the black pressure pressed like a black cloud. The coming Roman army, Senna standing on the head of the city also showed a solemn expression for a while. It seems that he really underestimated his enemy before. Obviously, from the other side's actions, the Greeks had already sensed their intentions, so they prepared to preemptively.

As the key link between the Peloponnese and Corinth, the city of Argos has naturally become an important battleground for soldiers. Senna suddenly guessed what the opponent's purpose was. After knowing this, the man didn't panic at all but turned his face. There was a smile on his face.

"Very good, very good. It seems that I really underestimated you before. In this case, let me see and see the power of Moria's little fox!" Looking at the approaching Roman army, Senna muttered to himself.
