Chapter 47 Indecision

"Is this the new Greek fire?" Seeing the "gunpowder" that Justinian showed him, Neusky's face was filled with shock, and the violent burning was no less than the Greek fire. The man couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with a new look. It can be said that the feeling Justinian gave him was really incredible. Every time the other party could give him unexpected surprises, like an onion, peeled a layer and another layer inside.

"That's right, although it took a lot of effort, the effect was pretty good and the yield was not much, but the power was still guaranteed enough." Justinian nodded proudly. Unfortunately, there was no saltpeter mining in this area, and it could only be collected and refined. Therefore, he was always cautious during the experiment, otherwise he would have made it successfully. But despite this, the stock of gunpowder has been barely enough to be put into the battlefield. This is why he has refused to continue to march.

But at this time, Neuski gradually calmed down from the surprise and frowned slightly, "Although this thing is not small, it may be more difficult to operate than [Ocean Fire] that can be sprayed with a siphon! What's more, this thing should be better in naval battles. Although the idea is good, I don't think you should spend so long here. Do you know that you haven't left the door in the past half month, what happened in the north?" One code is converted into one code. Although he admits that the gunpowder that Justinian firing is indeed an amazing secret weapon, he does not agree that it has spent a lot of precious time at such a critical moment.

After hearing this, Justinian frowned slightly, "Are you talking about Prince Theodor's war on Athens?"

Obviously, although Justinian stayed behind closed doors during this period, he did not ignore external affairs, but this made Neusky even more puzzled by Justinian's intention to do so.

"Since you know why you still hold your troops? Now as long as we attack the Latins from north to south, we will definitely not be able to resist it, right?" This is undoubtedly the best time to recover the entire Molia. No matter how badly the West of the Achaia Martial Arts is full of people who rise up everywhere in the western border of the Martial Arts. As long as Justinian marchs, he can almost make an edict.

However, as soon as Neusky finished speaking, Justinian's face showed a serious look in front of him, and he asked back: "We know this, don't the Latins know this? You don't really think that our enemy is really so vulnerable, do you?" Prince Theodor's attack was not beyond Justinian's expectations. When he took Nafplion, the opponent took the initiative to attack to relieve the pressure on Justinian. However, Justinian, who had been observing local trends for the past half month, has not made any moves.

Because the reaction of the Achaean vassal state really made him feel abnormal. The other party neither calmed down the Greek rebellion in his territory nor went north to support the Principal of Athens, which made Justinian feel abnormal.

But at this moment, Neuski showed a disdainful expression on his face, "What else is there to fear for the Latin people now? The troops that went south before have stopped marching and dare not act rashly." In this man's eyes, Justinian's caution seemed very redundant at this moment.

But Justinian shook his fingers and said patiently: "They may be secretly preparing for nothing in secret. Now we have no capital to take risks, and there is no value to capture any other city in the northwest of Moria except Corinth. Don't forget that there is under the nose of Corfu, which the Venetians occupy."

As soon as this said, Neuski was slightly stunned. It was easy to say before, but the last sentence said by the young man in front of him was obviously not expected.

Yes, Corfu, as the most important stronghold in Venice on the Adriatic Sea, was always their heart-wrenching as a knife inserted into the Roman Empire. They passed by when they set sail from Fort Ilovan. The threat was beyond the reach of any enemy they had encountered before. Even the Venetian army on Crete encountered in Fort Wiscarri.

Justinian was right at all. If they were too big, they would inevitably attract the attention of the Venetians. At this time, this war was no longer a war between the Latins and the Greeks, but a chess game between the countries in the entire Levant region. The Venetians could not sit idly by. The other party had already intervened in the Battle of Fort Wiscari. If the Venetian army stationed on Corfu was dispatched next, the pattern of the entire war would change greatly. This was undoubtedly not what they wanted to see. For a moment, the man who thought of this had to remain silent.

"So what should we do now?"

"Wait a little longer, at least it is not the time. I believe that Prince Theodor should also understand this, otherwise he would not dare to give up the important city of Corinth behind him." Justinian said calmly. Although in fact he had only met the man a few times, he seemed to be able to guess the other party's thoughts and was not worried about the situation in the north. On the contrary, the current inability to understand the movements of the Achaia vassal state is the reason why he is hesitant now.

At this moment, the guards outside the yard rushed in with a hurried look on their faces, and when they saw Justinian, they hurriedly reported: "Sir, Lord Arslan has something urgent to report to you."

Justinian and Neuski looked at each other, and their expressions became so serious. Obviously, they were so nervous that something big must have happened to Arslan when he asked him for help. Justinian suddenly remembered the incident where he sent Turkic cavalry to the north to investigate a few days ago. Could something happened to the Achaia Marquis State?

"Let him in!"

Since gunpowder has been successfully created, there is nothing else to distract him now.

As soon as Justinian finished speaking, Arslan, who had already been unable to wait behind the guards, rushed in quickly, with a complicated expression on his face, and was also somewhat surprised and suspicious. As soon as he saw Justinian, he spoke:

"Sir Justinian, you absolutely couldn't imagine what we encountered in the north!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Looking at the other party's expression, Justinian was confused and showed a hint of doubt. He could not think of anything else that could happen to the Achaean vassal state.

Arslan said immediately: "Not long ago, a coup broke out in Collins, William Chaplet was killed, and his heirs were brought over to us by Viscount Senna and Sir Baptiste, whom we have seen!"
