The large market outside Rusnina was full of traffic and merchants. They have faces with different colors and lustre, obviously from different places. The noisy market is full of different accents, and they are obviously not from Epirus.

For more than a year, despite the ongoing war, as the capital of Epirus in the rear, the city has become more prosperous than before. Businessmen from different countries gathered in this Roman emperor’s company to look for opportunities and make a fortune. In this regard, the nobles headed by Emperor Mikhail Dukas are very happy. Even though many of these merchants are Latin, Epirus still allows them to come, because these people can create infinite wealth for them. . Although it has annexed a large piece of land around Macedonia and gained the upper hand in the conflict with the Serbs and gained an objective wealth, it has caused a lot of consumption due to the long-term civil war with Agrinion. More importantly, it is the Genoese ally who holds their economic lifeline. The nobles of Epirus were no longer satisfied with all this, so they began to allow all kinds of people to enter the city, and Mikhail even secretly contacted the Venetians and the Holy See. The purpose is to enrich one's own treasury and strengthen one's own power.

At first, he was driven into this ravine by the Latins. At one point Mikhail began to question whether he could realize his ambitions and continued to gain a foothold. But in just a few years, Boniface, the once invincible Roman enemy, was killed in Thessaloniki. The butcher of the Romans, Tsar Carloyan, died violently, and Mikhail believed that he was a man of destiny. And the nobles of Epirus also believe that under the leadership of their majesty, they can definitely create their own glory.

In Rusnina’s palace, Mikhail is discussing the country with his ministers. Unlike the court of Constantinople, he depends not only on the noble cabinet, but also on the opinions of the military aristocrats as the backbone of the power. It is also very important. It's just that the atmosphere in Mikhail's palace seems a bit unpleasant today, and the reason is naturally the news from Agrinion.

"Your Majesty, our allies are urging us again. The Latins are pressing harder, they have long been no longer satisfied with Constantinople. In the past two years, Frandel’s Henry strength has continued to grow, sooner or later. One day the Bolgarians will not be able to support it. Once Thracian and Nicaea are ruled by the Latins, the consequences will be disastrous. Lascaris is asking us for help, Your Majesty."

In the court assembly, the biggest disagreement came from the army and the civil servants. Civil officials advocated taking advantage of the civil strife in Agrinion to quell the protracted civil war. Prince Theodor is said to have been killed in the civil strife, and the rebels have no leader. The military nobles insisted on targeting Thessaloniki as a bridgehead for their attack on the Latins to regain Constantinople. And asked for a closer one to unite Nicaea to besiege the Latins. You come and I meet on both sides, **** for tat. Don't give the other side the slightest concession. On the other hand, Emperor Mikhail, who was the final decision maker, was also hesitating, quietly watching the talks of the ministers in front of him.

From the tips I can get now. His stupid brother had already been killed, but the warlord entrenched in Agrinon was afraid that it would not be so easy to use for himself. The two sides who attacked each other had long been incompatible. What made him even more scrupulous, in fact, was Justinian. He thought that the fledgling boy was not a big threat, so after he had placed Alexei V under house arrest, he threw him to his brother. But he never imagined that the hairy boy who had been alone in the past few years has now become the actual ruler of Moria. Even the last elder of the Komunin family adopted him as an adopted son. This had to make Mikhail face up to this emerging force. Therefore, he has been undecided about the situation in Agrinion. Only a small army was sent south. See if you can take advantage of the fire. On the contrary, Mikhail was not very concerned about his so-called illegitimate child. The reason for the delay in agreeing to the civil official's request was that the opinions put forward by his vassals also made sense. Thessaloniki, like a dragonfly in the throat. It is his only way to the throne of Constantinople. Back then. Throwing that city to Justinian was only the result of his unsuccessful battle with Theodore. Now while Justinian is still in the south, it is undoubtedly the best time to take down Thessaloniki. If, as the messenger sent by Nicaea said before, Rascaris would be willing to surrender when he joined forces to attack Flandre's Henry, which could not help but impress him.

But this was immediately refuted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer by his side, "That is too far away for us first. Now the most important thing is to stabilize Epirus around, and the outside world must be settled first. Constantinople There, Lascaris should be concerned, not us. They just want to take advantage of His Majesty’s mercy. The Latins have driven them to a dead end. But they are still unwilling to give up the title of emperor. Is this possible? Isn’t it arrogant? Please don’t be fooled by their rhetoric. As for the generals, I would like to take a look at the deficits you have caused. Now we are at war with the Latins. Where do you let us make money from?

Under such questioning, the military aristocracy did not care about the accusations of the other party, but retorted tit-for-tatly: "The importance of Constantinople to us is self-evident~www.ltnovel.com~ How can we not care? From From beginning to end. The Latins have never stopped threatening us. The Venetians and Pizzas are staring at us on the other side of the sea. If it were not for their greed for profit, they would have strangled us with Henry of Flandre. In their eyes. Here, we who lost Constantinople are the remnants of the Greeks and have long been wiped out. In case the Latins are given a chance to suspend their breath and launch another crusade, it will be difficult to solve them. And our barren land is for Nepal Only now is West Asia’s advantage. Only by firmly holding the opportunity in our hands can you become a true emperor." Mikhail’s generals have a very clear attitude. Of course, they know that Nicaea has bad intentions, but the opportunity is rare. , Nicaea is too close to Constantinople, and the proximity to the water platform determines the advantage of their orthodox position. Only by extending their power to Thessaloniki, they have the possibility of entering Constantinople.

"What is there to worry about the rabble of Nicea. The real threat now is the southern rebels. We must pacify the southern military area to be able to support the next war. Please take a look at the frontline, adults! Instead of this So lofty, it’s better to care more about your own eyes. Even if we take Thessaloniki and integrate the southern rebels, how could they be willing to take Constantinople. The real threat lies between our elbows and arms. Adults!"
