"Today, the situation in Moria is even worse than it was a year ago. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stepped into this muddy water. But the ugly words are ahead. If I fail this time, I will

It's impossible to advance and retreat with you. The worst I can do is give up on Nafplion. This is the worst plan I can do." Baron Pierre spread out the worn sheepskin map, and the map was clearly marked.

Now the various forces in Peloponnese.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be prepared." Justinian, who was slightly surprised, looked at the map in front of him and whispered softly, and the information on the map was exactly what he needed most at this time. He had only been away from here for a few months.

But as Pierre said, the situation has changed dramatically.

"This is natural. Unlike you, Nafplion is the only place for us to live, so we must be careful every step of the way. Since you left, the nobles of Moria who are dissatisfied with you have to accept you.

The penalty for confiscating military property is that many people have always held a grudge against this and even cooperated with the Latins." Pierre said while pointing out the locations of several castles on the map.

"It turns out it's them!"

It happened to be the territory of several nobles who had colluded with Leos Grace before. It seemed that these guys had not learned any of the previous lessons. Justinian, who sneered, was not surprised at all, and then listened to Pierre say

.

"It turns out that the French nobles in the Principality of Achaia are a bit more honest in comparison. Although there are frictions on the border, they have always maintained restraint. It must be because the young Marquis Charles missed your rescue.

, but I’m afraid this situation won’t last too long. After all,”

"After all, the problem is not in Corinth, but in Athens, or to be more precise, Agrinion further north." Before Baron Pierre could finish speaking, Justinian said calmly. One year

In the Battle of Athens many years ago, he led the new army of Moria and severely damaged the Latin nobles, forcing them to surrender in humiliation.

The arrogant Duke of Athens also died in his hands. Naturally, this deep hatred cannot be eliminated by time. However, Justinian believed that there must be another important driving force behind this, that is Prince Theodore of Agrinion.

.Because after the collapse of the Principality of Athens, those German nobles chose to be loyal to that man.

Justinian was actually mentally prepared for this. The showdown between him and the Ducasse family was just a matter of time, but both sides had their own reasons for throwing the weapon. While Justinian was thinking about it, Baron Pierre came next.

What he said made him, who was originally calm, suddenly freeze.

"Agrinon? I don't know if that's the case. But the one who gave those Germans the courage to challenge you was King Bonifa of Thessalonica who was killed by you because of one of your old friends.

Dennist, Nephew's nephew."

"Is it him?" Justinian's face darkened slightly. Even though they were acquaintances on the battlefield, this Danist still left a deep impression on him. In the next battle in Thessaloniki, he could have wiped out all of them.

The Latin army was organized in time to resist but failed. Although Justinian finally forced them to abandon Thessalonica with his absolute superiority, this Danist was by no means an ordinary opponent in Justinian's eyes.

.

Pierre nodded, "Yes, although he lost his country, he was still nominally the successor of the dead King of Thessalonica and the suzerain of Achaia and Athens. Therefore, as soon as Danist arrived in Athens,

He was proclaimed king and Duke of Athens. This is your biggest threat. So what will you do next, Your Excellency Justinian?"

The three parties that are trying to move the Principality of Athens, the wavering Achaia, and the Morian nobles who harbor evil intentions collude with each other, and it has to be said that it is extremely difficult to influence the whole body. Justinian's palms are also sweating slightly at this moment, and he is dead

He stared at the map in front of him. Beside him, the Italian man was also watching the young man silently, waiting for his response.

This was the final agreement they reached. Pierre would fully support Justinian in this war, and Justinian would fulfill his promise afterwards, but the premise of everything was that Justinian must

Explain the first step plan to Pierre.

This is my final bottom line, Justinian. I can not interfere in the whole process, but I can't be like a gambler and put all my wealth and life on it. Tell me what do you want to do in the face of such a dilemma?

What to do?

Looking at Justinian faintly, Baron Pierre thought to himself. For some reason, at this moment, he hoped that Justinian could not give him a satisfactory answer, but also hoped that the other party could give him an answer calmly.

For a moment, there was only the sound of the two of them breathing in the room. Other than that, it was quiet. But the silence could only last for a while.

Justinian, who regained his previous calmness, replied calmly: "It's very simple. Since the other party has still not made any move until now, it means that there must be some reason that forced them to postpone their plan. Then the best way is

It is to break their arrangements and take the initiative, so that they have to act with a flawed plan, and this can give me an opportunity to take advantage of."

Justinian made a bold decision, not to wait for the rebels to attack Yingcheng, but to lead the inferior troops to attack proactively. This may seem crazy to others, but in Pierre's opinion, this is

It is the only feasible plan. He had already hinted at Justinian in the map sandbox demonstration, and Justinian also saw one thing, that is, the rebel forces are not monolithic, and the preparations are not sufficient.

"And what do you want to do?" Pierre asked.

"First, take down the castle of the Morian nobles who are plotting to cause rebellion, and completely eliminate the potential threat, thus shocking the Achaean princes and isolating the Latins in Athens. Then concentrate all your forces to give them the final blow." Justinian

He took out the short knife that was protecting him from his waist and plunged it into the map on the table, with a frightening edge in his eyes.

Looking into the other person's eyes, Baron Pierre couldn't help but shudder, and then looked at the map on the table.

"This is indeed feasible, but I'm afraid it's not a small problem to solve these castles first. In the few months since you were away, the nobles have repaired their fortresses, and if they are prepared, there will be no problem with hundreds of people holding on. You

Are you sure you want to do this?" The slightly hesitant man looked at Justinian and asked. Since he is going to fight, surprise is the key, and victory or defeat depends on the advantage of time difference. But Justinian chose to storm the fortress. Once it reached a deadlock,

If so, it will inevitably lead to great passivity.

Just when he felt that the plan was not appropriate, Justinian's slow words sounded in Pierre's ears.
