Chapter 75 The Conqueror's Decision

"I think everyone here seems to have mistaken a premise. The Latins in Athens are not that difficult to deal with. Why make a fuss about it?" Justinian said lightly, but this sentence made everyone present in an instant.

People from both groups couldn't sit still for a while.

Theodore Ducasse, who was watching this scene, also hesitated for a moment, "Are you kidding us, Justinian!" At this moment, everyone from top to bottom gathered here for this.

How to deal with the Latins who are still lingering in front of them, but now Justinian in front of them actually ignores what they are worried about. This time, Theodor also felt a little ridiculous.

"Of course I'm not joking. Your Royal Highness, in fact, I came here just to discuss this matter. Since the city of Athens is already at our fingertips, it would be a pity for us to give up halfway, wouldn't it!"

Denny opened his arms and turned around calmly to look at everyone present. The atmosphere actually became a little stagnant.

The expressions on the faces of the nobles who were still arguing were different, but they were all a bit surprised. The conservative old nobles were shocked by the young man's arrogance, and the young nobles who were fighting were also surprised by Justin.

Ni's calmness is doubtful. Because regardless of the two

Although the previous dispute was fierce, they are completely consistent in their understanding of the current situation, that is, there are powerful enemies outside and internal troubles. The only difference is the way to deal with them. However, Justinian's words are

Directly overturning their previous consensus.

Karagounis was okay, but Kronos Hearne, who saw this scene, simply sneered unceremoniously: "This is an unexpected answer, Lord Justinian, it seems that you are really confident.

It's just a bit overconfident - even though we won by chance, there are still tens of thousands of Latin troops stationed in the city, and there are also a large number of soldiers at any time.

The Latin militia that may have entered the battlefield to resist. With our current strength, we will be completely unable to capture this city in a short time." He completely regarded Justinian as a nonsense kid, even though the young man in front of him had proven it time and time again.

Although he had lost his ability, Cronus still relied on his old age and ignored him at all.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly met a pair of cold blue eyes, as deep as the sea water, which made him awe-inspiring. This gaze came from Justinian, who had always been calm. In Crono

The moment Si said those words, the young man standing in front of him seemed to have changed. Kronos was so horrified that he couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.

"Victory by luck? I think you seem to have misunderstood me? Could it be that, Lord Cronus, you really attribute our first great victory over the Latins since the fall of Constantinople to '

Is it just a fluke? This is really a

What a chilling thought!" Putting away his previous gaze, Justinian seemed to have turned back into a harmless young man for a moment, but his seemingly casual defense suddenly made him more aggressive.

Kronos' expression suddenly changed.

"I...I didn't say that!" Kronos then realized that he had just made a mistake. However, he also said this in order to ask the troops to withdraw and give up the plan to continue the siege, but this was undoubtedly a taboo.

.However, even if this old man has a very high reputation among the nobles, it is extremely inappropriate to say such a thing. The nobles who reacted immediately couldn't help but frowned, and they were also somewhat dissatisfied with Cronus's gaffe.

"Then what do you mean? Since you are also a senior general, you should be our role model, but I really don't understand why you are still afraid of the enemy." Justinian asked with a sarcastic tone, at this moment he was so strong

The weak position has been completely reversed, leaving Kronos, who was previously complacent, dumbfounded, speechless, and looked towards Prince Theodore with trepidation.

Prince Theodore, who was still sitting high in the center, remained silent. He didn't say anything more, but looked quietly in front of him. This made Cronus breathe a sigh of relief.

But despite this, the man was still uneasy and looked at Justinian angrily. However, the young man in front of him did not change his expression, and his eyes seemed to be shining with provocation.

This is of course, Justinian was able to deal with all kinds of difficulties faced by Moria's group of living treasures, let alone the old stubborn in front of him!

But Cronus was not willing to give in. Although Justinian took advantage of the verbal loophole, since Prince Theodore did not express his position, it was no big deal. Since this young boy can be naughty in words, then

Just get to the point!

The old man laughed in a hoarse voice, "I'm still just a young man after all. Do you know that it was the so-called fear that allowed me to overcome difficulties again and again, especially when marching and fighting? How could it be done by young boys like you?"

Like, taking risks out of thin air? Let me ask you, there is no advantage and strong troops

Do you know how much it costs to attack a city? The most important thing for us now is to preserve our strength. The damage to our vitality caused by simply recovering a city is not worth the loss. Just like the original Emperor Justinian's laborious expedition ultimately failed

It all came to nothing, do you want to make the same mistake again?"

There is no doubt that Cronus meant something thorny in his words, but the truth is one that many people really agree with. Now that they are too desperate to capture Athens, it would be ugly if both sides end up losing in the end. After all, soldiers are now regarded as private property by the nobles.

existence, for example, the fourth company under Zeodore Cephalon has now become Justinian's men, and has ended up as a short-term noble. In this case, no one wants to encounter a meaningless and vicious battle.

However, in the face of such questioning, Justinian spoke eloquently: "You can rest assured on this point. In fact, I have already started preparations. It will be easy to regain the lost territory. Of course, what Cronus said is right, concentrate superior forces.

It is indeed the wisest choice, but the changes in the battle situation are sometimes difficult to predict. More often, it requires not only wisdom and strength, but also decisiveness.

Reaction and decisive response. What Alexander did to Gaugamela, what Caesar did to Alesia. It depends not only on caution, but on the commander's decision as a conqueror. And now, my words stop here, everything

Please, Your Highness the Prince, make the final decision." After that, Justinian turned around and saluted Prince Theodore, who was sitting in the seat, and asked him to make the final decision.

And when their eyes met, they both seemed to understand what they were thinking, and finally Theodor Ducasse broke the original silence——
