"Is that what I said, uncle?" Looking at the angry King Boniface, Marquis Danist had already guessed that at the beginning of the Bulgarian army's siege, they sent people to Constantinople from the sea.

Dinburg and the Venetian colonial stronghold asked for help, and at this time, news came back from the sea.

To make Boniface himself so angry and lose his temper is definitely not good news compared to what he got. Obviously, the two men were not happy about sending troops for rescue. Even Constantinople, who had a close relationship, was afraid that the Buddha

Randall's Henry must have paid a price that his uncle couldn't accept to make the man so angry. Danist didn't say anything, just waited quietly until the anger of the king on the throne in front of him gradually dissipated.

Then he slowly opened his mouth to admonish:

"Uncle, no matter how angry you are now, it will not help solve the current dilemma we are facing. Instead of doing this, it is better to consider the next countermeasures for the time being!"

"Countermeasures... The key is to have countermeasures. Without reinforcements, it is almost impossible to reach the siege of Thessaloniki. If this continues, we have no chance of winning. You should know better than me. I

"How many people are thinking about our fat kid behind our backs?" Boniface said with a sneer in a very realistic manner, quite a bit self-defeating.

"But now, the enemy is going deep alone. As long as we can deal with it, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

"There is no turning point. If the people in Constantinople and Venice stand by and watch, who of the vassals who were willing to be loyal to me at the beginning can count on it? I'm afraid they are all watching now, maybe waiting.

If I die at the hands of the Greeks or the Bulgars, they will divide my inheritance. Sure enough, they are all a bunch of damn white-eyed wolves."

The man with a depressed face slammed his fist on the throne beside him and said angrily.

And he was defeated in this situation from the beginning. Although he was a bullshit king in name, this crown had no weight at all among the Western countries. On the surface, after dismembering the Roman Empire, he obtained the highest title second only to Baldwin.

Good territory, but myself

The former Crusader generals in the fiefdoms came from places like France and Germany, and became nobles. They were not very loyal to themselves as Italians. When the Principality of Achaia and the Principality of Athens became independent from him,

It's obvious.

Now that Thessaloniki is under siege, there is no movement from other nobles around. Maybe those ungrateful guys are already planning to defect to others.

The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became. Boniface was completely out of control. In fact, this was second to none. What frightened him the most was that both Constantinople and the Venetians had not responded to his request for help.

, even though he expressed his willingness to open the Gulf of Thessaloniki as a commercial coast to the Venetians and agreed to pay tribute to Romania, both of them remained unmoved. This made him uneasy.

When he conquered Constantinople, due to the uneven distribution of interests, he almost came into conflict with the two. And he had always had a bad relationship with Venice in the northern Italian fiefdom of Monferra, and he was even more hostile when Baldwin was captured by Bulgaria.

The plundering of the border added fuel to the fire. One can imagine how big the festival between the two sides was...but they probably didn't go to this extent. He tried his best to comfort himself in his heart, but a vague ominous premonition was already lingering in his heart.

Shaking his head hard to put the troublesome things behind him, Boniface, who tried to regain his composure, looked at his nephew and asked: "How is the situation over there? I think the defense on the first day should be

It won't be easy, the Greeks and Bulgarians who are in high morale

The initial attack by our people must have exhausted you, my son." The man who had stabilized his emotions asked as pleasantly as possible. He handed over all the defense today to Danist because he not only believed in his ability but also

In order to train myself as my nephew.

"Everything is as expected. The enemy should have just feigned a test attack, and chose to retreat when the casualties reached a certain level. It's just..."

"Just what?" Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with Danist's expression, Boniface was also slightly startled subconsciously. Since he did not go to take command in person, he did not know what the battle situation was at that time, although the new trebuchet used by the enemy did make

He was surprised, but looking at his nephew's appearance, he seemed to have something hidden.

And only Danist replied that he expressed his worries, "Others are not of concern. As long as we hold on to the wall and clear the country, the enemy will be unable to attack Thessaloniki's city wall for a while. But the only thing I worry about is that

A little fox from Moria."

"The little fox of Moria? You mean the man named Justinian." Of course Boniface had heard about the destruction of the Principality of Achaia and the Principality of Athens, and he knew the "culprit" who caused all this.

Justinian, of course, was no stranger to him.

"You mean he was the one commanding the attack today?!" Boniface, who was slightly startled, immediately reacted and asked quickly. And the Marquis Danist in front of him nodded and confirmed to his uncle.

This fact.

"Today's first encounter is indeed well-deserved. This person may be the biggest enemy we face by then."

"Is it really that serious?" Seeing his most trusted nephew warning so solemnly, Boniface couldn't help but frown slightly, but he quickly put it behind him and said angrily.

Looking at Danist, he asked: "The little foxes of Moria are just those useless French guys trying to make money for themselves."

It’s just a farce to cover up the fig leaf of the tragic defeat. The Greeks are not a threat at all, the important thing is the Bulgars! You are too worried, Danist, these things are not important now, what is important is how to deal with the city

There are Bulgars outside. As long as they are eliminated, everything will be solved."

Although he is not completely unconcerned, the current predicament in Thessaloniki is what Boniface finds most troublesome, and this man is still immersed in the arrogance of the original capture of Constantinople.

, there is no real "Little Fox of Moria"

Justinian took this to heart, and looked down upon the combat effectiveness of his defeated Roman army. But what he didn't know was that all this would cause him a huge mistake that was difficult to make up for, and would eventually lead to the death of the three Crusaders who participated in the dismemberment of the Roman Empire.
