Chapter Two Today's Upheaval

"Indeed. I think you already know that the purpose of inviting you here for discussion is to solve the current serious situation." Emperor Henry nodded and did not hide his worry about the Byzantine counterattack at this moment. At this moment, in the palace,

Only the three giants who had captured Constantinople in the past, and the officials were outside the palace and did not dare to enter without permission.

"I didn't expect that even you would be at a loss. But in just a few months, these damn Greeks have made a comeback again. It's simply unbelievable." Boniface looked at the other party with a teasing look and said,

But even though he said this verbally, he knew in his heart that if even this man found it difficult, then the situation had undoubtedly reached a very bad point. In fact, since the conflict with Henry of Flanders broke out a few months ago, Boni

Faz returned to his fiefdom in northern Italy. He had just learned not long ago that the situation of his Kingdom of Thessaloniki was now in danger.

"You have been in Italy a month ago and rushed back after hearing the news about the movement in Bulgaria. Of course you don't know that many earth-shaking changes have taken place in just a few months." Governor Dandolo gasped in a rough voice on the side.

As he said that, despite his blindness and old age, the old man still had sharp thinking and quick reactions, without any sign of decline in his memory.

"But they should have been leaderless and scattered. I remember not long ago, didn't His Majesty Henry chase the Greeks in Nicaea and drive them like a pack of lost dogs?" Boniface was not surprised by the sudden rise of the Bulgars, but after a while

The strength of the Byzantines gathered together was completely beyond his expectation. Obviously, the Byzantine Empire that lost Constantinople should fall apart and pose no threat in a short time. However, as far as he knew, in Epirus on the west coast, there

The Greeks had obviously risen and caused huge trouble. This really puzzled Boniface. It was really unreasonable.

And Emperor Henry nodded, with a solemn look on his face and said: "It is true, the Laskaris family in the east no longer poses any threat, but I did not expect that guy Muzfius actually fled to Epiru.

Si, and has the support of the Ducasse family."

"Muzphius...it's actually him, he's not dead yet?!" Boniface was slightly startled and jumped up from his seat. Of course he remembered this name. When they came to the army,

The original purpose of Fort Tantino was actually to help Alex the Younger overthrow the rule of Alexius III, but the sudden coup launched by Muzphius made their plan fail. Therefore, the Latins can say that they hate him.

Boneface. But after the fall of Constantinople, Muzphius disappeared. Boniface thought he was dead, but now Emperor Henry and Governor Dandolo told him that this man was not alive.

He died and arrived safely in Epirus.

"This is not a good thing..."

"Of course, with the banner of Muzfius, Mikhail Dukas has successfully integrated the nobles of the Western Empire and ambitiously reached an alliance agreement with the Kingdom of Bulgaria." Emperor Henry said.

"This is undoubtedly the worst thing. Once Epirus and Bulgaria join forces to attack, our situation will be extremely bad!" After learning these details, Boniface broke into a cold sweat, but then Dandolo said

His words made him even more pale.

"Although the threats to the north and west are not small, the Greeks and Bulgars may not be sincere in joining forces. We don't have to worry too much for the time being. In comparison, the situation in the south is the worst now. Not long ago in Epiru

Our allies in the Peloponnese were severely damaged by Sri Lanka's sudden attack. The Principality of Athens and the Principality of Achaia were defeated and had to surrender. Although the entire territory has not been occupied by the Greeks, it is obvious that the Greeks have no worries. This is also

It means..."

"This also means that Thessaloniki has been under siege from three sides. It is obvious that after dealing with the matter of Moria, the Greeks' next target will undoubtedly be the Macedonian area you occupy at this time."

Henry's eyes fell on Boniface to see if he was interested, and speaking these words in this plain tone shocked Boniface who knew all this, even though he was a leader of the Crusades.

The men also panicked.

"Damn the Greeks! They actually... But how could this happen? William Chaplet and Autoroche are so incompetent!" Boniface almost roared, the two from Achaia and Athens

The monarchs were once his subordinates, and their subordinates were all elite troops in the Crusaders, but now they actually surrendered to their former subordinates, the Greeks, which made this irascible man furious.

But Dandolo on the side shook his head and said: "But I'm afraid that's not the case. Not long ago, a fleet led by my son suffered a disastrous defeat in the south. After witnessing everything, it is obvious that the Greeks are no longer what they used to be.

So vulnerable, the lion has awakened in their hearts, and from what is known so far, the combat effectiveness of the Epirus army cannot be underestimated. Maybe they have a powerful commander, maybe there is another group behind them

The forces are supporting them."

The Venetian army also suffered a disastrous defeat. Boniface, who was once again shocked, finally couldn't sit still. As a former partner, he knew the power of the Venetian fleet, but even so, he was frustrated in the confrontation with the Greeks.

This caused a huge sense of crisis in this man's heart.

But then Boniface regained his composure and looked at Emperor Henry and Governor Dandolo in front of him, "Having said so much, what are you going to do? I think I was called here not just to say this, right?

?" Both parties are smart people. Based on Boniface's understanding of the two people in front of him, he believes that the other party is not simply telling him the dilemma he is facing at the moment. Boniface, who is unwilling to beat around the bush, then gets straight to the point, and Henry and

Dandolo has been waiting for him to say this.

Governor Dandolo, who was listening only to the side, slowly said: "After discussing with His Majesty Henry, we decided to take the initiative... first attack Bulgaria to defeat them and thus lower the morale of the Greeks, but we need your help in this matter

Boniface!" The old man slowly revealed their amazing battle plan. At this moment, the Latin Empire, which was already facing siege, had no intention of shrinking its defenses. On the contrary, Dandolo and Henry were preparing to strike first, but this was not possible.

No need for Boniface's support.
