Eagle Flag of Epirus

In a hidden place on the mountain not far from Argos, Justinian was looking at the impenetrable city of Argos surrounded by Latins with a solemn expression. It was not that he didn't know that the Latins were besieging the city, and the heavily armed cavalry behind him was already in battle, waiting for Justinian's order to be issued and ready to fight the Latins to the death. However, the silent Justinian did not give an order for a long time, and instead refused the request of the soldiers behind him to fight.

"His Royal Highness Justinian, please allow us to fight. The enemy did not expect us to be here at this time. Any surprise can definitely hit the Latins to relieve Argos' urgent need." Saliuus could not understand Justin either. The reason that Ni never gave orders, still tried to persuade him to allow him to lead the army to rescue his colleagues in distress.

But Justinian was unmoved, and sternly said: "It's not the time for you to attack. No one is allowed to move without my order!"

"But, Your Highness, if you continue like this, the city of Argos will be—" Salius said and stopped. He guessed Justinian's intentions, but he didn't want to believe that.

And Justinian also noticed the other person’s gaze, and said lightly: “I know this is indeed cruel, but many times we have to make this choice. Choosing to sacrifice some people in exchange for the safety of most people, if this is If it is evil, I would rather devour it and be judged in **** after death!"

Looking ahead calmly, there was no wavering in Justinian’s lake-blue eyes, because any warmth in the war should disappear completely from the moment he took up the weapon, and this is a command. Officials have the greatest humanity on the battlefield.

At this moment, in the city of Argos, the battle has entered a fever.

The Latins who dug the trenches successfully advanced the trebuchet slowly, bringing the walls of Argos into their range. The flame-wrapping asphalt barrels and the boulders that can be seen everywhere on the coast were smashed into Argos. The walls of the city. The defenses of Argos, which had never experienced a major war, were normal. Soon, the fragile walls collapsed. The Latin army that saw a gap in the city wall was like a shark in the sea. It smelled blood and rushed towards the city of Argos. There were only more than 300 soldiers in the hands of Carrodes in the city. They fought and retreated, neatly. Continue to defend against the city wall in an orderly manner, protecting the civilians in the city from retreating to the inner city. And as the night gradually fell, the Latins did not dare to continue pushing forward rashly. After all, street fighting at night is very dangerous in a small space. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Latins chose to retreat temporarily. In their opinion, they had occupied the outer city and blocked the waters surrounding it. The Greeks inside could not escape with their wings.

"Master Alexander." In the military tent, the Count of Senna of the Marquis of Achaia and the Grand Duke Maximilian of Athens all came here to accept King Alexander's summons.

"You are here." Alexander said with a smile looking at the two who came. "It's been a hard fight during the day for both of you."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is what we should do." Maximilian said flatteredly. It is too late to be grateful to Alexander. Since the death of Duke Otto, the Principality of Athens will be completely reduced to Ah. Grignon's vassal, if it were not for Alexander's arrival, he could only humiliate and succumb to the hands of the Greeks.

On the side, Earl Senna remained silent, watching the German fat man beside him with a trace of mockery in his eyes. This kind of simple-minded guy couldn't even hear others' words.

"Your Excellency Senna," Alexander, who had been smiling politely, turned his head and suddenly asked, "You seem to be thinking about something else. Can you tell me what it is?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm thinking about why the Greeks haven't moved at all at this time." Count Senna replied calmly.

"Oh, then what do you think? Speak and listen." Alexander asked immediately after he became interested in the judgment of Count Senna.

Count Senna nodded and said slowly: "At this time, I think the Greeks in Mystras should have also received the news from here, and Justinian has already formed an alliance with the Pizzas and cannot do without the support of the Pizzas. , Then it’s absolutely impossible to sit back and watch here. And this is our opportunity—"

"What opportunity?" A little surprised by what Earl Senna had said, Alexander asked him to continue.

And the words of Earl Senna immediately made Alexander look happy.

"Since we have been able to guess the enemy's next move, then we can wait for the Greeks to throw themselves into the net. Please suspend the attack on Argos, and send cavalry to inspect the movement of the Greeks outside of Argos. , While setting up an ambush~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Once the Greek army approaches here, it will inevitably be eager to rescue the besieged city of Argos and have no time to take care of other things. Then it will be our opportunity. If we can take this opportunity to defeat the Greeks in one fell swoop The main force, then the entire Moriah will surely be included in your bag."

As soon as he said this, Alexander couldn't help but brighten his eyes. Compared to Nafplio, who had taken the Pisa, it was undoubtedly more attractive to defeat the main force of the Greeks in one fell swoop.

After taking a deep look at the Earl of Senna in front of him, Alexander nodded. No wonder the lord of Achaia is a child, but he can still survive. Obviously this man is the pillar of Achaia.

"Okay, then Duke Maximilian, you are responsible for the defense in the northeast, leaving only the cavalry and some infantry companies responsible for cutting off the connection between Argos and Nafplio. As for the Count of Senna, I will send my army The three companies here are handed over to you, and you will be responsible for the southwest direction. The Serbian cavalry under my command will also be handed over to you to command and investigate the movements of the Greeks in the south. Once the Greek army comes, I and Duke Maximilian will The army will immediately come to support and defeat them in one fell swoop."

Aspiring to say, Alexander clenched his fists. It's time to avenge his uncle. After retiring from Macedonia, he has been trying to find a chance for revenge, and this time he vowed to completely kill Justinian this huge threat. He already had a hunch, and if this continues, not only Moria, but the entire Eastern Mediterranean and even the west will witness the rise of this terrible figure. This is undoubtedly what he didn't want to see. You must know that the last Emperor Justinian almost restored the glory of the entire Roman Empire, and if there is another one, even the Holy See will tremble.
