Chapter Thirty-Three: Nafplion

Nafplion is the only place to go to the sea to get the support of Prince Theodor. Only here is the most realistic. Prince Theodor believes that Justinian knows this, but the Latins cannot understand this. What's more, the special nature there is probably not something that Justinian can take now, even if this young man is no longer the same. Moreover, with the city of Argos being taken by Justinian, the vassal state of Achaia has undoubtedly been on guard. It is not easy to capture a city under the eyes of the other party.

After hearing Prince Theodor's answer, Hendriel's expression changed slightly. He understood that no matter how much he persuaded the man in front of him, he would never agree, so he had to shut his mouth.

After all, if you continue to talk about it, the prince in front of you is afraid that he will be suspicious, so Hendriel has to retreat, leaving Theodor Ducas alone in the study.

Seeing Hendriel's leaving figure, Theodor's expression became slightly cold. He quietly looked at Nafplion on the map in front of him and murmured to himself: "You can actually put people next to me, Genoese, I'm curious about what you will do next..."

He had already noticed something wrong with his secretary, and his "special care" for Justinian was too abnormal. But even so, Theodor Ducas finally chose to remain calm, because after investigation, he learned that Hendriel and Genoa had a close relationship. Although he did not like the Genoese very much, Genoa's power was indispensable in the face of Latins and Venetians. But what really made this man curious was why Justinian, as a close friend of Muzfius, could get so much help from the Genoa? This was really incredible.

In any case, there were too many unsolved mysteries in Justinian, who seemed insignificant before, which made Prince Theodor, who had only used him as a chess piece at the beginning, change his attitude towards Justinian at this moment. This man knew very well that his strength alone was not enough to realize his ambitions, but whether Justinian could become a potential ally, Theodor was still watching his performance. If he was helpless in the face of the Achaia vassal state, which had been damaged by vitality, it means that the kid was still incapable of ability and there was no regret for losing it.

At the same time, in the city of Argos, Justinian, who had comforted the people in the city, had also prepared for the next thing. Taking down Argos was a special signal to Prince Theodor who was again in Agrignon, but he also understood what it meant to the vassal state of Achaia. Now that he has penetrated deep into the enemy territory, he will undoubtedly face crazy revenge from the other party.

There is only one way out, and Justinian, like Prince Theodor, saw the importance of Nafplion.

But let alone the counterattack of the Latin army, the particularity of this harbor city itself has made Justinian's scalp numb and difficult.

Because although this place is nominally the territory of the vassal state of Achaia, in fact, the city of Nafplion has been loaned out to become the commercial territory of the Republic of Pisa, a completely neutral area. This has forced Justinian to hesitate to lead the war here.

"Have you made a decision yet, Justinian?" Neuski, who was beside him, asked, looking at Justinian's face with hesitation.

Justinian shook his head and said, "I know the importance of this place, but the problem is that the cost of doing so is too great. I dare not make this decision at all." At this time, attacking third-party countries is a taboo, not to mention that the Pisa Republic in Nafplion is not an easy task. After all, its status in Northern Italy and Venice, Genoa is a three-way match!

Pisa reached its peak of power at this time and became a powerful maritime power. It can be seen that its foundation is powerful when it can occupy a commercial base on the Aegean Sea, which Venice is regarded as a forbidden corpse. If it starts a war with the Pisa people, it will add another strong enemy. Anyone knows that doing so is extremely stupid.

But now Justinian is in a situation where he will be surrounded by the Latins if he cannot open up the situation. At the beginning, Justinian has actually calculated this step and was originally planning to rely on diplomacy. After all, the relationship between the Pisa and Venice has been deteriorating in recent years. However, the Pisa rejected the messenger he sent, which forced Justinian to consider using troops at this moment.

But until now, this young man who has always been decisive has not made a decision.

At this moment, Neuski broke his silence and woke up the hesitant Justinian, saying, "Now is not the time for you to hesitate. Don't forget the role you play now, Justinian! I remember when I followed His Majesty Muzfius, His Majesty once said, no matter when, it is more useful than to keep going. If you are still just thinking about the previous one, you will get nothing!"

"But the Pizza people..."

"I know you are not a young boy who is indecisive in thinking about it. Since those damn Italians don't know how to lift them up, let's kick them to pieces. Since you want to get the chestnuts from the fire, how can you be afraid of burning your claws?" Neuschi laughed roughly, shouting that Justinian's previous worries suddenly disappeared a lot.

It has to be said that talking to the straightforward person, Valangi, is indeed comfortable, and more importantly, Neuski in front of him is not a person with a muscle. He is actually reminding Justinian that the Latins have come back to their senses and give Justinian little chance and time. If you give up the opportunity just because of fear, it is very likely that everyone will be pushed to death.

"I understand what you mean!" Justinian, who closed his eyes, slowly exhaled and finally made a decision. When Justinian, who quickly adjusted his mindset, opened his eyes again, his previous hesitation was swept away.

"It seems you have made a decision." Neuski looked at Justinian whose expression changed completely and then put away his smile. Sure enough, Justinian had never disappointed him.
