Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 75: The decision of the conqueror

"I think everyone here seems to have made a mistake. The Latins in Athens are not so difficult to deal with. Why make a fuss about it?" Justinian said lightly, but this sentence made everyone present in an instant. The people of both factions were a little unable to sit still at once.

And Theodor Dukas who watched this scene hesitated for a moment, "Aren't you kidding us, Justinian!" At this moment, everyone from above and below is gathered here for exactly what How to deal with the Latins who are still lingering in front of them, but Justinian in front of them actually ignores the things they are desperate for. At this time, Theodor also felt a little absurd.

"Of course I'm not joking, Honorable Prince, I actually came here this time to discuss this matter. Since the city of Athens is already within easy reach, it would be a shame that we really gave up halfway, isn't it?" Tenny opened his arms, turned around and looked at everyone present in a calm manner, the atmosphere of the time was actually stagnant.

The expressions on the faces of the nobles who were still arguing were different, but they all carried a hint of surprise. The conservative old nobles were shocked by the young man's arrogance, and the young and strong nobles were also suspicious of Justinian's calmness. Because no matter how fierce the dispute between the two is, they are completely consistent in their current understanding of the situation, that is, there are strong enemies on the outside and confidants on the inside. The difference is only the way of coping, but Justinian’s Some words directly overturned their previous consensus.

Karagounis was okay to say, but Kronos Hearn, who saw this, sneered unceremoniously: "This is an unexpected answer, Lord Justinian, it seems that you are really confident. It's just a little overconfident. Although we were lucky enough to win, there are still tens of thousands of Latin troops stationed in the city, and there are also a large number of Latin militia groups that may be thrown into the battlefield at any time to resist. With our current strength, we can't conquer this in a short time. It’s a city.” He completely regarded Justinian as a whispering little boy. Although the young man in front of him had proven his ability time and time again, Cronos still relied on the old to sell the old and didn’t put him at all. In the eyes.

But as soon as his words fell, his eyes suddenly met with a pair of cold blue eyes, as deep as the sea, which made him feel awe-inspiring, and these eyes came from Justinian, who had always been peaceful. At the moment Kronos said those words, the young man standing in front of him seemed to be a different person, and Kronos, who was shocked, couldn't help but subconsciously stepped back two steps.

"A fluke to win? I think you seem to have some misunderstanding of me? Is it possible that Lord Kronos, you really attributed our first great victory to the Latins since the fall of Constantinople to ' It's just a fluke? This is really a chilling thought!" Putting away his previous gaze, Justinian seemed to have turned into a harmless young man again for a while, but he seemed to say it casually. The excuse suddenly changed the expression of Kronos, who was still aggressive just now.

"I... I didn't say that!" Kronos realized that he had made a mistake just now, but he was also trying to request the withdrawal of troops to give up the plan to continue the siege, so he said that, but this is undoubtedly a taboo. . However, even if the old man had a high reputation among the nobles, it would be extremely inappropriate to say this. The nobles who reacted immediately frowned and were a little dissatisfied with Kronos' gaffe.

"Then what do you mean? Since you are also a senior veteran, you should have been our role model, but I really don't understand why your Excellency still fears the enemy like a tiger." Justinian asked in a mocking tone, strong at this moment. The weak position has been completely reversed, making Kronos, who was still proud before, also stunned. There was nothing to say, and he looked at Prince Theodor tremblingly.

But Prince Theodor, who was still sitting high in the center, remained silent, saying nothing, but looking at him quietly, which allowed Kronos to breathe a sigh of relief.

But despite this, the man was still anxious and looked angrily at Justinian, while the young man in front of him remained unchanged, his eyes seemed to flash with provocation.

This is also of course possible. In the face of Moria’s group of live treasures, Justinian is able to cope with all the difficulties, not to mention the old stubbornness in front of him!

However, Kronos was willing to be willing, although Justinian took advantage of the verbal loopholes, but since Prince Theodor did not make a statement, there was nothing serious about it. Since this hairy boy is slick in words, just hit the spot!

The old man laughed in a hoarse voice, "After all, it’s just a young man. Do you know that it’s the so-called fear that made me get through the difficulties again and again, especially how can it be like you guys in the march? Like, risking out of thin air? Let me ask you, what is the price of forcibly attacking a city without superior forces~www.ltnovel.com~Do you know? The most important thing for us now is to preserve our strength and regain a city alone. The loss of vitality is not worth the loss. Just like the emperor Justinian’s labor expedition ended in a dead end, don’t you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

There is no doubt that Kronos is stabbing in his words, but the truth is that many people really agree. Now they are also the last of the crossbows. If they end up losing both in order to defeat Athens, it would be ugly. After all, the soldiers are now regarded as private property by the nobles. For example, the fourth company under Zeodoro Cephalon has now become Justinian’s people and ended up with the end of a short nobleman. In this case, no one wants to. Encountered a meaningless battle. ,

But in the face of such questioning, Justinian talked eloquently: "You can rest assured about this. In fact, I have already set out to prepare. It is easy to regain lost ground. What Kronos said is true. Concentrate the superior forces. It is indeed the wisest choice, but the changes in the battle situation are sometimes unpredictable, and more often it requires not only resourcefulness and strength, but also decisive response and decisive response. Alexander is to Gaugamela, and Caesar is to Ah. Lesia. It’s not just prudence, but the commander’s decision as a conqueror. And now, my words are here, and everything is requested, Your Royal Highness, to make the final decision." After that, Justin Ni turned and saluted the upper Prince Theodore Shi Shiran, and asked him to make the final decision.

And when their eyes met, they seemed to understand what both sides were thinking, and finally Theodor Dukas broke the original silence--

"Since you say that, then don't let me not let the people here disappoint you, just do it as you want, Justinian!"
