Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 3 Chapter 52: Undercurrent

   Karamai’s night is calm and peaceful, but it is not suitable for sleep. Although the war seems to have passed, everyone’s nerves are tense. The Latins are worried about the Byzantines' revenge, the Byzantines are worried about the Latins' comeback, and Eriksson is tossing and turning on his couch.

   He knows that he is now in a situation where he is in an unrecoverable situation. He who betrayed his commander has now become a shameless person with no sense of honor. More importantly, Eriksson is now in danger of his life. Justinian gave him the command of Faramis’s army, but Eriksson knew that this was a hot potato. An army means a force. How could Zeodore Cephalon tolerate himself? Is it weakened? And the addition of his new hatred and old hatred is undoubtedly a thorn in the opponent's eye, I am afraid that he will be targeted by every possible means.

   And just at this moment, the sound of a knock on the door made Eriksson's time creeps. Who would come to find him in the middle of the night! The man full of fear in his heart took his sword and walked to the door to test who it was.

Before Eriksson could speak, an indifferent voice came from outside the door, "Is the panic like this, Eriksson, you are really useless!" The other party felt it before seeing Eriksson. When he reached the fear in his heart, he sneered directly.

   Hearing this voice, Eriksen quickly opened the door, and what he was waiting for was the man in front of him-Moswar.

"Muswar, you are finally here." The restless Eriksson was waiting for the man in front of him. Now Zeodore Cephalon hates him to his bones, and only the Earl of Theodor can be counted on. The near minister. However, it was this man who made him fall to this point at the mercy of him, but Eriksson knew that he had no room for resistance. He didn’t want to betray his chief. At first, he just didn’t want to get involved in the struggle between Justinian and Zeodore Cephalon, and then he told the secret that he didn’t intend to hear to the courtier of the Earl of Theodor, but Moose Val has control over him and he has to make difficult choices.

"It's me, how is Justinian's reaction today?" The Saracens still asked blankly. Now Eriksson is a **** he placed next to Justinian. There is no match at all. His bargaining qualifications.

   "He seemed to trust me very much and gave me the command of Faramis's army." Eriksson replied cautiously.

But Moswar shook his head noncommitantly, "It's just a means to stabilize Zeodore Cephalon, and it doesn't explain much, but it seems that the kid hasn't found any flaws yet. Then you can stay lurking for the time being. , It will be useful for you."

"But you promised me... my family." I saw Eriksson hesitating to say something. He paid such a high price because he was threatened. Mosvall couldn't do it. But there was something behind him. Man can decide whether the life of his wife and son exists thousands of miles away. He never expected that Moswar, who thought he was a close minister of the Earl of Theodor, would be loyal to another person.

"Don't worry, if you succeed, they will of course have no difference. But if you fail, you naturally know the consequences." Mousval finally revealed his true face and provoked Justinian and Zeodose. The fight between Fallon and the profit of the fisherman was the real goal of his trip, and now Zeodosse has a handle in his hand, and Justinian has also placed the chess piece Eriksson beside Justinian. , Everything seems to have gone very well. He is like an undercurrent surging under the lake, seemingly ordinary, but when the time comes, he will crush it.

   What Moswar didn't know was that Justinian had already noticed his secret actions, but for now, Justinian still has more important things to deal with for the time being.

  ……

"The supply of food and grass is enough for us to support for half a month, but the Peloponnese is not a grain-producing area. Lis.” Justinian looked at the map in front of him and analyzed it. The most urgent task now is to eliminate the vital forces of the Achaia state. Only the capital of the Southern Peloponnese, Tripolis, is a threat to Justinian. , But also the most dangerous. There is an army of at least four thousand people stationed there, and it is reluctant to defeat them with his current strength.

When I saw Justinian’s side, Nevsky asked in a puzzled way: “Where is Tenaron? Isn’t it better to contact the resistance army there?” This is the beginning of Justinian. The prepared plan ~www.ltnovel.com~ It was precisely because of these words that Nevsky was persuaded to participate in this expedition, but now Justinian is not anxious.

And Justinian had already expected that Neusky would have such a question, and shook his head and said: "That's only the worst strategy. If I lose the attack at the beginning, I will choose to move there. This should also be Theodore. You had prepared a backhand. But now it’s different. Our most important thing is time. Now the Latins have not reacted to our best situation. If too much time is wasted in Tenaron, everything below will be troublesome. Moreover, the resistance army there is nominally loyal to the Nicenese faction, and may not be willing to surrender to Epirus. If you enter there, it will attract the attention of the Venetians. It is very close to Crete. We can’t. adventure."

   "Then what are you going to do?"

"Looking for an opportunity to let the Latins of Tripolis come out by themselves, and wipe them out in one fell swoop, holding the hilly pass north of Tripolis enough to stop the main force of the Marquis of Achaia from going south. And at that time, the Earl of Theodor It’s impossible not to be ready to move.” Justinian had already guessed the opponent’s plan. Agrinon’s attack on Athens and Achaia was as difficult as the sky, the strong defense of the Corinthian fortress and the elite division of tens of thousands of people. , Earl Theodore could hardly break through with all his power, and now Justinian tore a gap in the back of the Latin would inevitably make the impregnable defense line open in front of Theodore. And Justinian determined that the man would never let this opportunity pass.

   The only thing that worries him is that if the commander of Tripolis is cautiously standing by for help, then his plan will be ruined and his success will fall short. What exactly should be done to get these Latins out of the safe castle to cast the net is what Justinian cares most about now.
