Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 57: Intrigue (Part 1)

"Calm down, Arslan is not time for us to attack." Leo, who led the army to ambush, reminded Arslan next to him, even though the father of this Turkic young man is being besieged by the Latins on the mountain. , But now they can't reveal their whereabouts, because this is related to the success of Justinian's plan.

"I still know this, uncle! I won't be emotional at this time, because I know that if I do that, I'm joking with my father's life." Although Arslan was anxiously worried about his father's safety, But he believed in Justinian more than he did. After all, after so long together, that person has never disappointed. The reason also told Arslan that it would be useless to act rashly now. They split up with Justinian and led a total of 1,500 Turkic cavalry and Chincha Tatar cavalry. Even if they attacked in the dark, they could not attack at all. The Latin coalition that crushed tens of thousands of people.

   At this time, the only thing they can do is to wait, waiting for Justinian and his fleet from the sea to give a fatal blow to the Latins in front of them.

"But it seems that the time for us is running out." At this moment, a voice rang beside Arslan and Leo's defense commander, and the two turned their heads at the same time, only to see a Latin man standing behind them. , It was Sir Baptiste who came with the army.

"It's you!" Arslan and Leo's defense chief showed a hint of surprise on their faces. The reason why they could easily escape the surveillance of Achaia during this trip and sneak into the territory of the Principality of Athens without knowing it. It is because of the help of these submissive Latins in front of me. The Marquis of Gottfrey did not expect that he had been thinking hard and wanted to get along, and the nephew of the Marquis of William did not escape north to Thessaloniki or Constantinople, but went into exile until it was supposed to be life and death. The enemy of the Greeks. It was precisely because of Charlie Chapulitt’s identity that Sir Baptiste successfully persuaded the neutral nobles stationed at the checkpoint to let go. After all, the great purge carried out by the Gottfried Palace still left many neutrals who are still on the sidelines. . They also dared not say anything about Gottfrey's collusion with the Venetians. So after getting the guarantee from the Roman Empire, the nobles stationed in Corinth allowed Arslan to pass through the obstacles to get here, but even so, the defense chiefs of Arslan and Leo couldn't easily believe it. other side. After all, this military operation brought the exiled aristocrats of the Achaean princes so that they were still unable to rest assured.

   "What do you mean by this?" The two looked at Baptiste in a skeptical manner and asked, not understanding what the other party just said.

Seeing the reaction of the other side, Baptiste can fully understand. After all, his identity is here. I saw the man slowly stepping forward and looking at the Latin barracks in the distance, and explained: "As a crusader A member of, I can tell you clearly that it is impossible to stop the attack at night, especially when besieging an enemy who is already vulnerable in front of you, but if one day, the attack stops when the night falls, there is only one Explaining that is the final preparation for the second day. Now the Roman army in the Acropolis has been holding on to the third day, and tomorrow will usher in an all-out attack by the Achaia, the Principality of Athens, and the Venetians. How long do you think they can last?"

After listening, Arslan and Leo were on guard for a long time. They shook their bodies and looked at each other. Although they did not trust the Latin, they did not doubt the authenticity of what the man said. It turned out that it was not just them. The Latins at this moment are also sitting in the final preparations for the final "decisive battle".

At the same time, on the other side, the Pisa fleet driving on the sea is still on its way to the Attica Peninsula. Although they want to get there as soon as possible to rescue the besieged Prince Theodor, they must be careful to prevent encounters. Discovered at sea strongholds in Venice along the way, because once detected, it is very likely that the surprise plan will eventually fall short. But continuing to delay is not a solution, and Justinian can't help but feel anxious as he looks at the sea beyond the horizon.

   "How long will it take for us to reach our destination, Pierre?" Justinian asked impatiently, the governor who knew the Pizzas were in Nafplio.

   And Pierre replied indifferently: "Please don't worry, we have done our best. After all, there are so many Venetian strongholds on the sea, in order to prevent them from discovering that there are at least two days to reach Athens."

"In two days, we have been there by land for such a long time! I don’t need a reason now~www.ltnovel.com~ Let’s say, what conditions do you have to reach your destination tomorrow? I think Pizza Don't even have this ability, right?" Justinian's voice was stern, and he could see that the other party was deliberately shirking. Even the maritime patrol of Venice would not delay the journey like it is now. It was obvious that Pierre did it deliberately, and the only explanation for this was that the other party wanted to use it to deliberately set up the price.

A trace of embarrassment passed across the face of Pierre, who was scheming by Justinian’s words, but no longer concealed anything, and then nodded and said: “This war may accidentally draw the Republic of Pisa into peace. During the Venetian war, perhaps you paid enough money before, but if the situation gets out of control, I cannot bear the consequences. I need you to give another promise so that even the Venetians will really expand the war. Pisa will also become a firm ally of your country!"

   "Let's talk about it then, what is the promise?" Justinian, who had already expected this, looked at each other coldly.

Finally, when Justinian promised Pierre, he could not wait to say his own terms: "If we help your country deal with the Venetian regaining Constantinople, in addition to the restoration of trade privileges, I I hope you can also allow us to open the right of trade passage in the Black Sea. Let our merchant ships enter the Black Sea through the strait for commercial activities."

However, as soon as Pierre finished saying this sentence, a huge sense of oppression emerged spontaneously, and that undoubtedly came from the young man in front of him, and he saw a terrifying gaze on the pizza man. Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
