Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Pizza, you mean from the sea, are you crazy, Justinian?" Nevsky was surprised when he learned of Justinian's intentions, and he did not hesitate to object. We must know that the Venetians are now undoubtedly the overlords of the sea. Before they were able to defeat the opponent, it was entirely because the opponent was not good at land warfare. Now Justinian wants to meet the Venetians at sea instead. It was too risky to have the help of the Pizza people.

But Justinian replied decisively: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once Theodor is eliminated, we must be the second object in Venice's eyes to be eliminated. Everyone knows that now only desperately will have a chance. With the help of the Pizzas and gunpowder, the arrogant Venetians can definitely pay the price they deserve."

Justinian estimated that there could not be too many troops in Venice this time, because the enemy forces on Crete have already suffered heavy losses at Fort Wiscari. The closest to here is the Fortress of Corfu, and the Venetian army also has a short time. Only the army can be sent there. Therefore, with the help of the Pizzas and his newly completed gunpowder, it is not entirely impossible to win the opponent by surprise.

"But what if something happens to you? Your Majesty Muzfius puts all hopes on you. I can't allow you to make such a reckless adventure!" Even Justinian said Neusky was justified, but he was still unwilling to agree to Justinian’s claims. Having experienced the Battle of Constantinople, he couldn't understand the horror of the Venetians anymore. To him, fighting to the death at sea was a idiot.

　　 However, just as the two were arguing, the bronze door was slammed open at this moment and a man walked in with an anxious look on his face, and he was not someone else but Arslan who was supposed to be waiting outside.

For the first time, this young Turkic man showed such a gloomy look on his face, and his eyes were full of anxiety. When he saw Justinian in front of him, he said, "Master Justinian! Theo! Prince Dole was defeated in the Principality of Athens!"

At the end of the autumn of 1406, in the territory of the Principality of Athens, the situation faced by the Roman army led by Prince Theodore was already precarious at this moment. No one expected that when Theodor Ducas decided to break through the siege north, it was like As agreed, the army of the Achaean horde also arrived on the battlefield.

　　 And this completely changed the already precarious situation of the battle.

　　 The sudden appearance of this Latin army turned the balance of the war around, and the Roman army that was defeated in one fell swoop completely lost the possibility of breaking through. Prince Theodor promptly dispatched Turkic cavalry as a reserve team to stop further defeat, but in desperation they had to retreat to the helpless Acropolis. The Latin army pursuing all the way outside the city also took the opportunity to join the landing Venetian army to encircle it.

　　 "God!" Looking at the encirclement of the copper wall and iron wall outside the city before him, Theodor's face unexpectedly showed a trace of despair and dignity. At this moment, he finally realized that this was a trap set by the Venetian. The well-known Venetian wants to do this easily, which is why the Principality of Athens has already prepared for military mobilization. He didn't think it was a coincidence that he left with the front foot and the Venetian attacked from behind on the back foot. The dilemma they face today can be said to be no worse than this.

　　 "The number of enemies is almost three times as many as ours, Prince, what should we do now?" The generals who had been completely demoralized looked at their prince and didn't know what to do. The difference in strength is too great, and they have fallen into death, and they have no way out after losing the Port of Piraeus.

The frowning Prince Theodor also had a heavy expression on his face. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Acropolis without food and medicine was broken. First of all, the morale of the soldiers could not be sustained. The man realized that he could only hope that the chess piece that Nanfang had placed at will.

　　 Looking at Murad, the leader of the Turkic mercenary who was silent behind him, Theodor seemed to think of something. He looked at the other person and asked:

　　 "Did your people send out?"

　　 There was a little expectation in his voice. When he was attacked by Achaia, Theodor immediately ordered the Turkic cavalry under Murad to try to break through the siege and send a message in an attempt to ask Justinian for help in the south. However, Justinian has not received any news for help. Will he really come after he gets it? Or just sit back and watch, Theodor Dukas can't make a guarantee.

　　 But Murad said calmly: "I have sent my subordinates to break through. As for whether they can break through the siege, it depends on their own luck."

But the other Greek generals who didn't hold any hope for this at all dismissed it at all, "What if that ungrateful kid comes? It's just going to die in vain. Murad~www.ltnovel.com ~Do you really expect your son to come over and just us?" The despair of failure is permeated among the people who have already hoped for the battle.

　　 And Prince Theodor also immediately smelled a dangerous breath. Of course he understood the current situation. Even if the thousands of people in Moriae joined the battlefield, it would be a drop in the bucket. This time the Venetians are really serious. But even so, he tried to calm down. If even he showed a fragile side, the situation would get out of control. Ever since, the man glanced at his subordinates with a majestic gaze and ordered in a deep voice:

　　 "The order goes on and everyone is ordered to stand by for help!"

　　 "Stand by for help? Where do we have support?" Everyone who was startled was also at a loss for a moment.

However, Prince Theodor said coldly: "Our reinforcements will come from Moria to support soon. This is what I have agreed with Justinian before, and we should work together to defeat the Latins here. Encircle the circle. If I hear any gossip after this order, all will be punished for the crime of shaking the military's heart! Do you have any questions?"

　　As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart was chilled for a while, they all felt the murderous aura revealed in Prince Theodor's words.

　　 Seeing this, everyone in the military account couldn't help but smile wryly, but they could only do so. Because what the Prince Theodor said was never meant to be a joke. The Vinono generals left carefully, and looking at their backs, the man couldn't help but sighed. How could Theodor Ducas know this kind of self-deception, but now he can only stabilize the military spirit. Can do that.
