Eagle Flag of Epirus

One month later-

The city of Tripolis, which has gradually recovered from the war, is no longer as depressed as it was when the Latins occupied it. A large number of Greeks who have left their homes have finally been able to return to their homeland and settle down, and they have also obtained their land. And all this is due to the current governor of Moriah, heir to the dictatorship, Justinian.

Although I don’t know much about this young lord, there is no lack of exaggerated words. Whether it was defeating the Latins at the Alfios River or defeating the Venetian invasion at the Fort Wiscari, Justin Ni’s prestige is in full swing at the moment.

However, this is not what the nobles of Moriah wanted to see. Although they were able to return to their territory thanks to Justinian, the price was that a large number of the nobles among them were bought by Justinian. Expropriated for this reason, used to reward soldiers and resettle refugees. But the Moria nobles who wanted to stop all of this could only swallow their voices because they were afraid of Justinian's current identity.

Seeing Tripolis, who was gradually returning to its pre-war state, he felt unwilling to think of the nobles who had lost many benefits.

Justinian knew this too well...

"I have to say that although you are still young, it takes a long time to fumble slowly, but you have to admit that your vision of people is really unique." Anasta, who looked at Justinian beside him on a cane, Grand Duke Seuss nodded slightly, this short period of time being able to manage the overall situation in an orderly manner has proved everything, and he did not choose the wrong person. Although Justinian's subordinates have low status, they do have enough abilities. For example, the Leo garrison commander, although he was only a garrison of Ilovan Castle, he managed the affairs of the entire Tripolis city with ease. And Arslan and Neuski are undoubtedly some generals, and what they lack is just the opportunity to exercise.

But Justinian shrugged slightly, not just being self-effacing but also joking:

"I still have to thank Romanus and the others for this! Thanks to the compensation they provided me, the city can recover so quickly." At the time, when negotiating with the other party, Justinian not only detained the fourth place. The company also demanded a lot of compensation from the other side, which had already exceeded his previous losses. But I have to say that this really helped him solve his troubles. The gold coins obtained from Alex III had already been spent in a few months, and the palace utensils were more valuable, but Chashi Tenny's currently has no channels to sell it, and it has already reached the point where it has run out of ammunition and food, but with this compensation, it is much easier to deal with the current problems in Tripolis.

"But is this really good, my child?" Grand Duke Anastasius asked softly. Now Justinian is his adopted son, so the two of them are no longer the same as before. In that way, it seemed more intimate, "Although I didn't say much at the time, it's just that this has undoubtedly angered our Prince Theodor!"

Both Theodor and Muzfius had experienced under his hands when they were young. The old man knew something about Theodor's temperament. He didn't think that the other party would suffer such a big loss. . Anastasius is reminding Justinian that it is best to plan early. After all, the other party's revenge may come at any time.

In particular, Justinian even dared to detain and swallow the opponent's guards. The entire fourth company was expelled from the upper level, while the other grassroots were split into the new army for training as the backbone. I have to say that Justinian's doing this can be said to be bold.

But Justinian waved his hand with a disapproving look on his face and said: "You don't need to worry about this. Now our Prince, His Royal Highness, may not care about us at all. On the contrary, I am afraid he will only want to win us. Rather than insisting on pushing us to the opposite side."

Looking at such a confident young man in front of him, Grand Duke Anastasius couldn't help but be a little surprised, "So it seems that you are pretty sure?"

"Yes, my lord, now the whole Macedonia is full of flames. In other words, no wise person will choose to embarrass us again." Justinian muttered while looking at the military area map hanging on the wall. .

Not long ago, although they had the upper hand, the Greek and Bolgal coalition forces still underestimated their enemies. The troops of Thessaloniki and the Latin Empire actually gave up the initiative along the North Macedonia line, and suffered a lot of unprepared attacks. The Bulgarian army lifted their siege of Thessaloniki in one fell swoop, and the Roman army, which had lost its control by Bulgaria, had to retreat. At this time, the Latin iron cavalry soldiers coming all the way to the south came to the area of ​​Thessalia. Once there is captured, it will open up the connection with the Achaia state of the Principality of Athens, which undoubtedly makes the two Latin Crusaders who have just succumbed ready to move. stand up.

"That is to say, Prince Theodor, who is in charge of the defense here, has been under tremendous pressure, so we need our strength to contain the Latins from behind~www.ltnovel.com~Grand Duke Anastasius also looks at it at this time. Out of this subtlety, although the two Crusaders yielded, their strength did not suffer a huge loss. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they betrayed the empire. At this time, what Justinian in the southern Peloponnese had Power naturally matters, but the old man also sees another point at the same time.

"That being said, the Latins should also be aware of this."

After so many years of experience, Grand Duke Anastasius saw the importance of Tripolis at a glance. This is the gateway to the north and south of the Peloponnese. The Latins would never allow themselves to be behind before they act. Such a big threat. This also means that Tripolis' situation will be extremely bad.

Of course, Justinian knew this, nodded slightly, and solemnly said: "Because of this, I have been preparing for all this for the past month. Since the Latins in the north have taken the initiative, then we absolutely I can’t give the Latins here a second chance."

As soon as the words came out, even a calm person like Anastasius could not help showing an unexpected look, and looked at Justinian in a little astonishment, "You mean—"

"Before the Latins in Achaia are not ready, we will act first." Justinian did not deny it, and then said his crazy intentions, pointing his finger to Argo on the map at this time. Sri Lanka, and there is the key to the first to bear the brunt of the north from Tripolis. Once there is captured, then Corinth's connection with the Principality of Athens is threatened to be severed. So this is undoubtedly the place that the Latins value most, but Justinian did not hesitate at all.

Seeing Justinian's calm appearance, the old man in front of him couldn't stand a little trembling, and murmured, "You really dare to think about it, Mr. Justinian."
