Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 32: Nafplio (Part 1)

With the changes in the attitudes of many nobles, the ugly-faced Earl Gottfried also understood that even if he was the chief of the court, there was no way to change anything. Most of the people were already on the side of the Marquis William, ready to go south to use troops. Unwilling to reconcile, Gottfrey finally made a concession and agreed with his monarch William Chapulitt.

Of course he knew the threat posed by Justinian in the south, and he also understood that the situation of the Principality of Athens at this time was not very bad, but the reason why Gottfrey was so firm before that he should go north in addition to ostensibly cooperate with the Kingdom of Thessaloniki. , Still hiding a little selfishness of oneself-that is to consolidate one's current position.

Because of his strong request before, Achaia was caught in a battle with Epirus, which directly led to the emptiness in the rear, which allowed the little fox of Moria to enter. Although no one had expected such a result before, in the final analysis, Earl Gottfrey was still directly responsible. Therefore, after the fall of Southern Peloponnese, Gottfried's prestige in the country was greatly reduced. Many nobles who supported him were also quite critical, especially those who fell into fiefdoms like Viscount Senna, who were already standing on the opposite side of him at this moment.

This naturally gave the man a huge sense of crisis. In less than two years, taking advantage of the frail health of Marquis William Chapulet, Gottfrey took him step by step to become the default Achaia by all the nobles. Heir to the country. But now, his position is unstable due to the rush of war, so Gottfrey insists on going north. As long as he joins forces with Thessaloniki's army to defeat Epirus, his position will be restored. There is no possibility of being threatened. However, the Marquis William, who became increasingly disgusted with Gottfrey, would obviously not give him this opportunity.

Even in the face of the comeback of the Greeks, the contradiction between the nobles of the Marquisists and the nobles of the Palace School is obvious. At this point, the man who could no longer object to anything finally chose to give up.

"Since this is the case...it seems that no one is opposed to anything, then I think we should now turn the issue to recovering the southern Peloponnese, right?" Seeing the deep expression on his face, no one can see what he thinks. What Marquis William said slowly.

Even the Latin nobles and knights who supported the Gottfried faction were silent, because the centrist had already stated that they were on the side of the Marquis, and it would be unwise to continue to insist.

"What about you, Gottfrey?" William asked, looking at his former best friend and right-hand man.

However, Gottfrey didn't say a word, and suddenly everyone was unprepared to see the man with a green expression turned and walked away, while no one of the court guards dared to stop him. Watching this scene, the aristocrats in the palace were left staring at each other.

This is completely disregarding the authority of the monarch. Although this is normal for the nobles of France, the attitude of Count Gottfrey is a bit blatant.

But William Chapulitt was not angry, but looked at the leaving figure with a deep gaze calmly.

"Sorry, you guys, I'm afraid I'm a little tired. Let's come here for the time being. The Privy Council will prepare the bill for the Southern War! I hope it can be completed as soon as possible." The sick man said, scanning the nobles below. .

And the Latin aristocrats in the court, look at you, I look at me, no one stood up to oppose anymore, but got up and saluted and retired, and left the hall one after another.

When Viscount Senna and Sir Baptiste were about to leave, the voice of the Marquis rang again.

"Senna cuts off and has Baptiste you stay for a while?"

And when the Achaia vassal country was devastated by Justinian in the south, the outbreak of the Argos war soon spread to Agrinion.

From the news sent by Kirkberg with carrier pigeons, he learned of everything that happened on the front line, and Prince Theodor's face was also full of surprise.

"It seems that everything in the south should go smoothly, so you are so happy, Your Royal Highness." The secretary Hendryer on the side also guessed the reason for the unsmiling man's long-lost smile.

Prince Theodor nodded and did not conceal his joy. He who has been in battle and is familiar with Moria's geography is very clear about the importance of Argos. The Latin, who was awkward from the beginning to the end, might not have time to take care of Thrace, which gave him plenty of time to calmly deal with the enemies of Thessaloniki.

"It seems that this kid is indeed worthy of use. I have to say that he can really win Argos and I am surprised..."

Hendlier then made a suggestion while the iron was hot: "Then your Royal Highness, should we send further reinforcements in the next step~www.ltnovel.com~ Now Justinian has almost opened up the situation, I believe we can wipe out our in the south. enemy."

However, the man in front of him shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"I don't have any extra troops to give to that kid now. Boniface of Thessaloniki will definitely come here this time. Even I am not sure that I can deal with him, and my one My dear brother, our esteemed emperor, I’m afraid I won’t pay attention to the situation here at all. I hope to hurt my vitality this time!” At this point, the man’s winning streak was full of cold smiles on the side of Hendry. Qing also shuddered a little.

"But in that case, with Justinian's strength, I'm afraid--" Hendry is a little worried. After all, Justinian who has penetrated into the enemy's territory is actually isolated and helpless. If the Achaia state concentrates its efforts on him, it will be absolutely impossible. It's not whether he can bear it.

However, the reality is that the mobilization of the forces mobilized by Prince Theodor of Agrinon has reached its limit, and there is indeed no way to support it. I saw that the man put away his smile, silently looking at Hendryer beside him and whispered:

"You should know better than me, Hendriel, now we can't do anything unless he can take it." As he said, Prince Theodor pointed his finger at the map behind him, and there was a mark on it. The place name is particularly eye-catching. Looking at it, Hendriel also discovered that it was only a few steps away from the city of Argos where Justinian was at the moment.

Nafplio, east of the city of Argos, is a natural port facing the Aegean Sea. It is the only passage that connects to the city of Argos except by land. Its importance is self-evident.

"As long as he wins this place, I will be able to give him reinforcements, and it will all depend on him in the future."
