Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 4 Chapter 38: Crisis in Nicaea
Hearing the news provided to him by the Venetian in front of him, George Frontier was shocked, completely devoid of his previous calm and relaxed air. A few months ago, the emperor Baldwin of the Latin Empire was captured by Bulgaria in Adrianople, and the Lascaris family in Nicaea was able to escape. Now Henry of Flanders would rather be a huge threat to the north. The Bolgars ignored them and even joined forces with the enemy to destroy them. If it weren't for the Venetians to disclose the news to them, I'm afraid the Byzantines of Nicaea would still be in the dark, and they would die without knowing it.
Just thinking about it, George Frontier didn't doubt that he was shuddering. Now that Ranieri explained the plan in detail, the possibility of intelligence errors is infinitely close to zero.
For Henry of Flanders, the Byzantine nobles in Nicaea have lingering fears. As Baldwin’s younger brother, this man emerged when he was besieging Constantinople, and then he showed amazing command when he crossed the sea to pursue the chase. Talent, it can be said that no one can do it wherever he goes. If it weren't for a sneak attack by the Bolgars in the rear, I'm afraid that the Lascaris family in Nicaea would be greatly injured and do nothing.
This time, the Emperor Henry once again mobilized troops, and united with David Komunen of Tripolis and the Roma Turkic Sultanate in the east. Seeing this posture, he vowed to stop without destroying Nicaea. Look like.
The terrified George Frontier couldn't even think about what would happen if the opponent attacked Nicaea again, the man promptly asked Ranieri Dandro:
"Give me a ship, I need to go back and let me know immediately."
Now compared to watching the Venetians fall to Fort Wiscari, the most important thing is to immediately meet Nicaea, which is just a waste of time here.
But Ranieri said indifferently, "Don't worry so much, even if Constantinople is already preparing, it will not attack until the autumn is high and the horse is fat. It's not a big deal to delay for a few days, right?"
"You—" George looked at Ranieri's eyes widening, but the appearance of the Venetian guards on both sides made him give up intriguingly.
And Ranieri nodded with a calm face, "That's good, after everything is over, you help me take down this city, I will send someone to send you back, after all, if you just send a ship to take you away , Would it be bad if there were some accidents on the road?"
"Then I really want to thank you for your kindness!" Although George Frontier gritted his teeth, he was helpless. Of course, the other person in front of him was not considering any safety issues, but just deliberately making things difficult. For Ranieri, Nicaea's Survival is not important. At this time, he can only pray that the matter in front of him can be resolved as soon as possible, and tell the two emperors of Lascaris the important news.
And Ranieri, who glanced at the other person with contempt, immediately put George Borderman aside, and instead looked at the fortifications that had been built on the mountain pass. The Venetians on the ship are not all armies. Among them are the craftsmen accompanying them, who are best at building defensive positions. It can be said that although they have no combat effectiveness, they are one of the most important components of the entire army.
Although the wall made of surrounding stones and sand can not bear enough impact force, it can also cope with a sudden attack, and being placed on the only way to Luzhai can also greatly limit the enemy's attack.
There are also two wooden sentry towers, which not only can effectively monitor and warn the enemy, but also can provide adequate fire support for defense by placing archers on them.
It can be said that in order to prevent the Greeks from Fort Wiscari from breaking through, the Venetians racked their brains and tried their best to prevent the other party from finding any flaws.

At this time, in Tripolis, on the sixth day that Justinian had already left, Neusky, who had not received any news, was already a little unable to sit still. Although the two agreed that after ten days, if Justinian has no news, Nevsky will bring the army to support him, but there is no movement for such a long time, but this Varangian is still a little bit. Can't stand anymore.
"It's been a long time, shouldn't any accidents happen!" Nevsky said while looking at the map, panting, and the dagger in his hand plunged onto the table.
The Captain Leo on the side persuaded: "Your Excellency Neusky, since Lord Justinian has said before, if he has not returned after ten days, he is considering taking someone to check it out. It's only six days. If there is really an accident, then he will definitely send someone over." However, he who said this sentence actually had no bottom in his heart.
Like Neusky, Leo did not support Justinian's journey to the south at first, but now Tripolis no longer has Justinian presiding over the overall situation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it's Nieus If Kee leaves, then Zeodo Cephalon, who is about to move in the city, can't be unmoved. He can only ask Neusky not to act impulsively.
And Neusky didn’t know this, but he still shook his head and said, “You don’t know, these Southerners are not trustworthy at all. When Constantinople was besieged by the damned Latins, For so long, these guys are as indifferent as the guys in other military districts. They are completely selfish assholes. Justinian is too dangerous to go there alone. And I really have a bad feeling, I hope God can hear my prayers and bring him good luck. But if there is no news after three days, Leo, no matter how much you dissuade me, I will bring my troops there."
The man’s voice is as decisive as the collision of steel. There is no room for questioning or objection. As an absolute loyal to Emperor Muzifius, he even participated in the overthrow of Alex IV’s coup. He understands that the young man is undoubtedly Muzifi. Uth's last hope was. Moreover, their results in the southern Peloponnese must be lost as expected, so Nevsky could not allow Justinian to have an accident, either for himself or for the future of the empire.
And looking at Neusky’s extremely resolute face, Leo knew what he was saying next. This man would never listen to it. This was already the last bottom line of this Varangian, and he finally did it. Made a concession and agreed to Neusky's request.
"Well, if that's the case, I promised your request."
"Then this is the best." Upon seeing this, Nevsky pulled out the dagger on the table and inserted it into the sheath around his waist. Rickson saw it.
