Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 54: Looking at the Lonely City (Part 1)

"Unexpectedly, these Greeks have reached this point. These Greeks can continue to support it." Watching the Roman army building fortifications on the Acropolis against the repeated attacks of the Latin coalition, the commander of the Venetian army, Cynvenir There was also a look of surprise, but it disappeared in a flash, because even if it was struggling to sustain it, what would it be like now? In his opinion, it was nothing more than the dying struggle of the Greeks.

But everything in front of him surprised him. They defeated the fragile Roman army and took Constantinople in just a year. However, the Greeks who were weak in their eyes have made them dare not care. . If it weren't for this time, Venier had assembled the forces of the Principality of Athens and the princes of Achaia to set this trap together, it would not be easy to swallow this Greek army. This is the case, the other party has reached the end of the crossbow, but the stubborn resistance repelled and killed many of them. This caused a trace of anxiety in the heart of Wenierqing, whose face was indifferent.

Others on the side looked more optimistic. It is now Gottfrey, Marquis of Achaia, looking at the Roman army’s camp in the distance, and coldly said: “It’s just a matter of time. There will be a dying struggle of a trapped beast, but when the despair reaches its limit, it will be irreversibly disintegrated. It is like a bowstring will break even more tightly. But I think we are not as good as we are now. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Taking the opportunity to surrender, this might speed up the disintegration of the Greeks' military spirit. In despair, once they see any hope of survival, ordinary people will be desperate for everything."

   This is undoubtedly a poisonous trick. Even the Latins know that it is the most sensible decision. It is the wisest decision to destroy the morale of the enemy in advance. However, Gottfrey's suggestion was vetoed by the Duke of Athens Otto as soon as he said it.

"Recruiting?! Do we still need to do this now? It's just a bit of work. It seems to me that these cursed Greeks have to pay for what they do on my turf! I can't wait for them now. All were nailed to the cross and burned to death!" This man, a rude knight from Burgundy, had a murderous face, apparently he had paid a huge price with the Roman Army of Agrinion. Prince Theodore ravaged his fief wherever he went, leaving the tiles of the Latin villages to Duke Otto, causing incalculable losses, how could he not hate him. Because of this, even if Gottfrey had said that the surrender was only to disintegrate the Greeks, the man was unwilling to agree. The only thing he wants to do now is to give the Greeks a taste of revenge.

   Seeing the man in front of him object, Gottfrey's eyes showed a trace of disgust. But quickly passed by, and calmly explained: "Your Excellency, if you really want to get the Greeks out of your country, what you should care about now is how to eliminate them as soon as possible. Just for a while. It’s not a wise move. Your Excellency Vernier, don’t forget that there is still a Greek army in Moria in our south. Although there seems to be no action at the moment, it may be the little fox’s move to confuse us. He can’t be completely indifferent to what’s happening here. In order to prevent accidents, I think it’s better to take care of the Greeks here as early as possible.” He looked at Vernier, who is presiding over the overall situation. Although the situation seems to be very good now, be careful. The cautious Gottfrey was still afraid of the kid named Justinian. Although he hasn't really confronted him head-on, the little boy was upset in the South Peloponnese with only a few people. Even if there is no news from the south now, it is impossible for him to be completely relieved.

After listening, Baron Vernier's face changed slightly. Of course he would not underestimate Justinian. Although he has not seen each other yet, the fiasco at Fort Wiscari caused a sensation throughout Venice. . As the commander-in-chief, Dandoro was also severely punished, so he was able to come here from Corfu to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, Cynvenir did not dare to underestimate the young man named Justinian.

But he thought so, but others didn’t. Duke Otto still had a dismissive sneer on his face and said, “So what, if he really comes, wouldn’t he be able to take the opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop, right? "At this time, there were almost 30,000 people in the trilateral coalition. Many of them were mercenaries stranded here in response to the Crusades from the West. Their combat effectiveness was considerable, not to mention they had the upper hand in numbers. Therefore, Duke Otto, who has always been self-sufficient, didn't take Justinian from the south at all. The so-called is nothing more than a fig leaf for the Achaia vassal state to cover up its defeat.

But Baron Vernier gave him a cold look~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course he understood the disdain in the other party’s words. It was nothing more than thinking that Moria’s little fox had a false name, but if it was so, How will they deal with themselves after the fiasco at Fort Wiscari? Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Vernier said immediately: "Enough, just do as the Marquis Gottfrey said! My purpose here is not just for you to solve the Greeks, there is not so much time to waste."

   This remark was like a final word. Seeing that the Venetian side had already expressed its position, even Duke Otto, who never looked at his face, had to swallow the objection he wanted to say before.

At the same time, on the other side, the Byzantine army that was holding on to the camp was still struggling to support. Everyone believed the words of Prince Theodore. At least the soldiers who fought **** the front line really believed that as long as they persisted, they would help. Will come sooner or later.

  The archer stood on the wooden tower and tried his best to stop the pressing enemy, while the spearman fought **** battles with the enemy on every inch of his position. However, as the casualties continued to intensify, the desperation had spread. Most of the fortifications are built on wood on the mountain and marble on the ancient ruins of the Acropolis. This simple defense seems to be able to support it, but as the weather turns cold, the night has become more difficult. Up. But what is even more terrifying is another hungry and lack of food they can't support for long. And until this point, Prince Theodor looked at the Latin army that was gradually retreating as night fell, with a solemn expression. But at this moment, a light ride from the distant enemy formation, holding high the flag of negotiation, appeared in front of the formation and immediately attracted the attention of Theodor Dukas.
