"Take an active attack..." Grand Duke Anastasius was slightly shocked in his eyes. It turned out that Justinian had been preparing for this matter for the past month.

"But this time, the Latins may not be careless so easily?" The old man shook his head. Justinian had landed from the south and entered the empty Peloponnese, but the current vassal state of Achaia and the Principal of Athens would never dare to be careless anymore. With Tripolis' current strength, it is probably not so easy to defeat the other party.

But a subtle expression appeared on Justinian's face. He looked at Agrenion on the map set in front of him and said, "Our strength alone is of course far from enough, and I think our prince can definitely help us."

...

Agrignon, south of Epirus, was the fief of Prince Theodor. Although he was the commander of the southern army, he had always been in charge of remote command of the war with the vassal state of Achaia and the Principal of Athens.

However, the surrender of the Duchy of Athens did not relax him at all. Prince Theodor was like a workaholic rather than a nobleman focusing on handling official duties. Recently, the Northern Latin Empire and the Kingdom of Thessalonika jointly damaged their ally Bulgaria, making the man feel more stressed. The two crusaders who were ready to move would never be indifferent to such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once they took action, his army stationed in Thessali was the first to be brutal.

"Dongdong!"

Just then, a soft knock came from outside the door.

"Come in!" Theodor handled the matter in front of him, so busy that he didn't even raise his head. He saw his secretary, Hendriel, push open the door of the room and walk into Ali.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

"It's you, Hendriel, are you doing anything?" Theodor asked. He knew that this person who had served under him for many years would never disturb him easily when he was dealing with official duties. Obviously, his appearance was because of something important.

"An emergency report came from Macedonia." Hendriel, who had a serious expression, replied, looking at Prince Theodor, and most of the so-called Macedonian provinces are under the control of Latins, so Macedonia is actually the front line, and the expression of the man is obviously not very good.

"Remember--" Prince Theodor also put down what he had in his hands when he saw this. It seemed that what he didn't want to see happened. Since the Bulgarians had been repelled, the imperial army, which was alone, was afraid that it was in a very dangerous situation.

Immediately, Hendriel told the man in front of him what he had just received and asked him to decide. Just three days ago, the Imperial Army retreated from Macedonia was still pursued by the Latin army. The two sides fought at the Smolicas Pass. The coalition forces of the Latin Empire and the Kingdom of Thessalonika won a great victory. The Roman army, which suffered heavy losses, had to retreat to Rusnina, which meant that the original autumn offensive had completely failed. What was even more disturbing was that Thessalonika was gathering troops and seemed to have the intention to go south, so the Sassaly between Macedonia and Molia would undoubtedly be the first to be affected.

"Is their target thessali?" Theodor murmured to himself as he looked at the map in front of him.

"It should be right here. Once Thessaly falls, Achaia and Athens will inevitably break away from our control again." Hendriel, who understood the key point, looked anxious on his face.

"Of course, even now they are ready to move!" In fact, Prince Theodor was furious when he heard his brother accepting the peace between the vassal state of Achaia and the Principal of Athens. He knew that it was Mikhail who deliberately wanted to stop him from taking the opportunity to expand his power, but he laid a huge disaster in front of him.

"The situation is very unfavorable to us, Your Highness, Prince." Hendriel looked at Theodore in front of him, waiting for the man to make a decision, but the other party seemed to be unquestionable. After a long time, he did not say a word, which made him anxious.

"So what do you think, Hendriel?"

"I have actually thought of a countermeasure, but I can't guarantee whether you promised it or not." Hendriel showed a hint of hesitation. This scene fell into Theodor's eyes, and the man immediately understood the other party's plan.

With his eyes swept over Molia on the map, Prince Theodor's face showed a hint of coldness, and said:

"Are you talking about that boy Justinian?"

Hendriel's thoughts were revealed in one sentence, but from Prince Theodor's tone, Hendriel heard the uncertain factors and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"That's true, Your Highness, the army of Molia is undoubtedly the most needed force now." Hendriel, who swallowed his saliva and thought repeatedly, nodded. "In Tripolis, their power can curb the vassal state of Achaia and the Principal of Athens, and is undoubtedly a thorn in the eyes of the Latins. But this is also a dagger that we stabbed in the heart of the enemy. As long as we use it properly, it can give the Latins a fatal blow."

However, the man who had listened to Hendriel's analysis sneered slightly, "Hmph, Justinian, I haven't settled his account with him before!"

Seeing this scene, Hendriel could not help but feel a little sad at this moment. The account mentioned by the prince was naturally what Justinian did a month ago. Not only did he expel His Highness Romanus, the son of the prince, also extorted a large amount of money as the so-called compensation. When he heard this news, Hendriel couldn't help but be shocked, but what surprised him even more was that Justinian actually drove away the upper officer of the Fourth Company and swallowed up the personal guards belonging to Prince Theodor. This was simply crazy!

With his knowledge of Ducas, Hendriel knew that Prince Theodor would never give up, and he couldn't help but be speechless when he wanted to say something for a moment.

But the next scene made Hendriel never expect, and Theodor changed his mind.
