"Let Arslan restrain his people and not let the Turks and the Censors do anything to harass civilians." Justinian said solemnly. Although it seemed that the residents of Mycenae were very welcome to the Byzantine army's arrival to recover lost lands, Justinian understood that this was probably not true. Historically, the vassal state of Achaia existed until the eve of the demise of the Byzantine Empire, which showed that it was not a castle in the air like the Latin Empire. The Achaia rulers who combined Western European feudalism and Byzantine customary law were actually much more skillful than the corrupt bureaucratic rule of the Angeles dynasty.

Compared to regaining lost land and destroying people's hearts is the most important thing now. Justinian must enforce orders and cannot allow the army to commit any acts of plundering and harassing civilians.

"But the Turks are our allies after all, if—" Rio next to him looked puzzled. Of course, he knew Justinian's intention, but the key was to prevent a mercenary composed of nomadic people from plundering them and keeping their military discipline. After a battle, it would be difficult to make these fierce nations obedient without rewards. Moreover, at this time, the existence of Zeodoserphalon was not suitable for them to have any unpleasant experiences with the Turks.

But Justinian still shook his head persistently and said, "Just tell him the original words, and if they have any dissatisfaction, just come to me."

Seeing Justinian's statement, Leo knew that it was not good to say anything, so he nodded and stepped down.

In the military tent, Justinian was looking at the map in front of him with a slightly solemn expression. Although he won the first battle, the situation was not so optimistic. In the entire South Peloponnese, in addition to Mycenae, there were also major fortresses such as Mysoreholy, Croni, Sparta, and Carama. The troops here were assembled as thousands of people, and it was not easy to defeat them quickly. Justinian originally thought that the main force of the Latins had completely arrived in Corinth to prevent Epirus from moving south.

But after asking the local people, they learned that although most of the troops were recruited, under the advice of Marquis William, some troops remained and stationed. For example, in Tripolis, the largest city in South Peloponnese, there were 4,000 Latin soldiers, which were not something that his subordinates could deal with. For a moment, Justinian was a little glad that he immediately decided to clean up all the Latin people in Mycenae City and did not reveal the news of the landing of Byzantine troops.

"It seems that things are not as smooth as I thought, Lord Justinian." Neuschi said lightly beside Justinian. He knew that this victory was just insignificant, and there was not much food in Mycenae City. If this continues, they will not last long.

"I know this, but the war itself is changing rapidly. Wouldn't it be a joke if it was expected to be so smooth?"

"This is natural, but the key lies in the response of the commander. Turning the disadvantages into advantages and expanding the advantages is an excellent general. So what are you going to do next?" Neuski looked at Justinian seriously and asked. His commanding method was still a bit immature, but he believed that Justinian had the ability to stand alone.

Looking at the map in front of him, Justinian was silent for a moment and pointed to it and suddenly said, "Attack Karama, this is our next target. According to the information provided by the locals, there are stockpiled granaries there, although not many, but they are enough to solve the urgent problem."

Neusky was also slightly surprised at Justinian's decision. He did not expect Justinian to put his target here. Carameer's garrison was the strongest among several fortresses. Although it was closest to them, there were almost 500 guards. It was almost impossible for such a garrison army to curl up in the fortress in a short period of time, and the effect of the raid would not exist. Isn't it very dangerous once the Latins reacted? Justinian formulated such a combat plan, which made Neusky not expect.

"Are you sure?" asked the Valangi man in a slight contempt. He looked at the expression on Justinian's face and realized that this was not an impulse act, but what plan did Justinian have?

Justinian's face also showed a firm expression, without any hesitation, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure. The value of conquering this place is higher than the rest. This is the key point for the connection between the South Peloponnese and the Teneron-horned Empire Resistance Army, and I already have my plan." The young man's voice was very calm, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. Looking at Justinian's firm attitude, Neusky surprised that he did not object to anything else.

...

On the other side, the heavy army from Agrignon was stationed on the other side under the leadership of Zeodosefalon. During the Mycenae siege, he led his subordinates to join the battle.

However, he still did not obey Justinian's wishes. This team of 1,000 people was stationed on the other side of the city. The man also asked his army to abide by military discipline and not to harass civilians.

However, after these two days, although Zeodosefalon still did not like Justinian, he improved his ability a lot. He also learned that the army had run out of food and grass, and Justinian's blockade of the news was recognized by him.

Moria had already experienced the tug-of-war fire and the land had been ravaged and was very declining. Although it has recovered a little now, the farmland here is scarce, and the farmers are firmly controlled by the lord, trying to eat locally. It is a suicide idea that Justinian calms people's hearts as soon as he enters the city. It is undoubtedly the most correct decision.

"It seems that this kid is not a false reputation. He really has a few tricks, Musval." Looking at the man beside him, Zeodosefalon smiled. Although he was the chief sent by Count Theodor in name, in fact, this beast trainer from Saracen was the real leader. They jointly monitored Justinian's every move and were ready to seize military power to minimize the losses when Justinian could not support him.

However, the ability shown by Justinian is now judging that the recovery of Molia is still a victory in the first battle.

But Muswar, who had no expression on his face, responded calmly: "It's just the beginning. What will happen in the future is not the truth, right?"

"Indeed, not long ago, Justinian sent an order to attack Caramel tomorrow." Zeodosefalon nodded, and now he was just continuing to observe. Whether Justinian could be used by Theodor is still unknown. What he cares more about now is the target of the attack. As far as he knows, it is the tightest fortress in this area. If it were him, it would be better for attacking Mysoholly, Croni and even the ancient city of Sparta.
