Eagle Flag of Epirus

Ranieri Dandro’s conditions immediately moved his subordinates. To know that the status of Crete is extremely important, Venice, which bought it from the Marquis of Boniface, is ready to make it an important part of the Levant. The base area, and more importantly, the island's abundance of wheat is undoubtedly an important granary for the Venetians.

Ranieri made such a guarantee that the Dandoro family will make certain concessions, so that the other families will be able to grab more benefits. This has to make other generals who opposed the siege have a different attitude than before. Diametrically opposed.

The other generals quietly lowered their heads and whispered to each other to exchange their thoughts, and Ranieri was also very calm watching all this, because he clearly understood that only profit can accomplish something.

Even if they are all Venetians, they are no exception, waiting quietly, Ranieri is not worried about being rejected at all. And sure enough, the other nobles who had quietly negotiated with them finally made up their minds and nodded, turning their eyes back to Ranieri Dandro.

"Maybe this matter can indeed be discussed, Your Excellency Ranieri, your terms are indeed questionable. But can you really make such a promise on behalf of the Dandoro family?"

Ranieri's conditions were so tempting that they didn't believe it was true, so they couldn't help but check again.

And Ranieri nodded without hesitation: "You can rest assured about this. I will guarantee with my reputation, and I will fulfill my promise after the event. I still have this right to speak in the family. "At this time, Ranieri Dandoro has decided to achieve this goal desperately, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the family for the time being. Because if he fails, not only his political career will be completely ruined, but even the power of the Dandolo family in Venice will be severely damaged.

Therefore, in order to avoid all this, Ranieri will absolutely agree to any conditions at this time.

"But even if this is the case, why must we be so anxious? Your Excellency, we can be besieged. The Greeks are not that strong. As long as we have the patience to conquer Wiscari Fort, it is only a matter of time." Nevertheless, some people raised objections. , Ranieri Dandoro's eagerness to attack did arouse the suspicion of his generals.

And I was prepared for this, I saw Ranieri replied without changing his face: "You don’t need to worry about this. The reason I did this is just to ensure that there is nothing wrong, otherwise it will not be beautiful, and when necessary. The inside of the city should help us, and I believe it will be easy to capture this city."

"Internal response, but their performance before was very disappointing!"

"It was just an accident. You have seen the many siege equipment I borrowed from Kefalonia this time. Isn't it too disappointing that I'm still standing still." Faced with doubts. , The man increased his tone and suppressed the last objection with his authority.

Seeing Ranieri's resolute attitude, the other nobles finally stopped saying anything. Now that the Dandora family has promised to pay a sufficient price, it would be a wise move to send personal affection along the way. After all, the dominance of the Crusaders in Constantinople has made the Dandolo family flourish in Venice, and no one wants to offend this behemoth for this.

Seeing that there were no opponents, Ranieri breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he knew he was gambling, he undoubtedly had succeeded. The Greeks in Tripolis would take at least three days to rush over. As long as he wins Fort Wiscari within these few days, there is no risk. Those in the army who did not approve of the offensive finally chose to compromise. Obviously, on the one hand, they were moved by Ranieri's conditions, and on the other hand, they were also afraid of the power of the Dandoro family.

Immediately, the man gave the order to fight.

"Tomorrow dawn, at all costs, you must attack the city with all your strength and take down Fort Wiscari!"

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison, accepting Ranieri's order, which also meant that a big battle was inevitable.

...

At this time, in Tripolis to the north, the Byzantine army stationed there had just learned of what happened in Fort Wiscari.

However, Leo’s garrison commander wanted to mobilize troops to go to Fort Wiscari for rescue, but he was opposed by Zeodoro Cephalon and several other generals under his command, and the reason was very high-sounding, that was Agrinion. The party has issued an order that the army in Tripolis should contain the Achaia state in order to support the current battle in Corinth.

But this naturally cannot convince Leo’s garrison chief, as Justinian’s agent, although he is inferior to the opponent in terms of official rank, he is nominally the person in charge of military affairs now. Leo directly forced the army to open, but Zeodoro Cephalon, who had been prepared for a long time, tore his face directly with him, and the two sides almost drew their swords at each other.

It was not until the end that the two sides took a step back, led by Neusky and Arslan, led the headquarters from Ilovan Castle and later recruited new recruits after taking the Southern Peloponnese, a total of fifteen. Hundreds of people went south to rescue. The fourth company of Agrinion is still stationed in Tripolis, which means that less than one-third of the army that went to Fort Wiscari to rescue is regular army and the rest are more. It is a recruit who has just been trained for a short time, and the combat effectiveness is naturally conceivable.

But now they have become the last hope of Fort Wiscari, led by Neusky, this army heads to Fort Wiscari as fast as possible.

However, Arslan was still not satisfied, and urged: "This is too slow, Your Excellency Nevsky, if this goes on, we get there, I'm afraid the Venetians have already captured the city."

But Nevsky shook his head. He rode on the horse and looked at the long line behind him, saying: "This is the limit we can reach. You see the team has been delayed for a long time, and the new army with insufficient training is very It is easy to leave the team and leave the team. If you increase your marching speed, you will not be able to fight even if you reach Fort Wiscari."

"But this goes on—"

"I have already said that this is the limit. Justinian's safety can now only be determined by himself and whether God can bless him." Nevsky interrupted the other party and said, he naturally I was also worried about Justinian. My original unease really became a reality, but I was worried that I was worried that Arslan was still young after all. He was not familiar with marching and fighting, but as a member of the Forbidden Army, Nevsky clearly understood one. A tired army without fighting spirit has no combat effectiveness. Forced marches are only suitable for elite regular troops, not for these skirmishers under their hands.

Hearing Neusky’s answer, Arslan clenched his fist in silence. He knew that what the other party said was not unreasonable, but he had seen the Venetian's greatness, and every minute of the delay meant that Justinian’s. The dangers faced have increased dramatically.

However, Nevsky, who was commanding the march on a horse, had an extremely solemn expression on his face, as if he was worried about other things.

On the side of Justinian, the Varangian was actually not too worried, because the teenager had already created too many miracles, and he didn't think Justinian would easily fall into the hands of the Venetians.

What he was worried about was Tripolis. Due to the previous compromise, Nevsky took away all the troops that he could take away ~www.ltnovel.com~ and in Tripolis, only Leo defensive chief stayed behind. , They all know that Zeodoro Cephalon and Muswar are by no means kind, but they have to make such a choice. Compared with Justinian's safety, Tripolis could only give up temporarily, but Leo, who was left there alone, worried Neusky very much. He wanted to leave with him, but Leo insisted on completing the task entrusted to him by Justinian to monitor the actions of Zeodore Cephalon and others.

I hope there will be no accidents! Niewusky, who was sighing in his heart, could only pray silently in his heart like this, but at this moment, the scout in front issued an urgent signal and hurriedly rushed towards Niewu, who was already in a heavy heart. Skip's heart sank.

"Master Neusky, a fleet of ships was found ahead, and the other party also found us!"

The scout with a panicked expression hurriedly reported the situation, and this time made Neusky's heart cold. In order to speed up, he deliberately walked along the flat road along the coast to the fort of Wiscar, but the Venetian was still aware of the initiative Send someone to stop it? Realizing this, Nevsky and his army were also ready to fight at this moment.

But with this mixed army, can they really defeat the Venetians? Neusky was not sure, and the soldiers under his command were equally hesitant.
