Chapter 56 Unscrupulous

Just when the Duke of Otto and Gotfry were arguing, the Venetians who were watching coldly interrupted the indignant Duke of Otto and were about to say, "Enough, let's just listen to what the Marquis of Gotfry said, let's wait and see for the time being. Anyway, there is no food supply, and the Greeks will not last long in this lonely city." Wenier was unwilling to continue to siege, as it would only cause unnecessary losses. Anyway, the Greeks are now slaughtering the fish on the chopping board.

Seeing this scene, although he was unwilling to accept it, Duke Otto had to give up temporarily. There was no way, now the three-way coalition forces were the weakest, and the Venetians were domineering on his territory and could only accept it helplessly. A trace of resentment appeared in their eyes, and Ottoroche had to choose to retreat, but when he passed by Gottfry, he hit him hard with his shoulder and said coldly, "Urgent!"

After saying that, the rude man turned long under the gaze of Wenier and Gottfry, and for a moment the expression on Gottfry's face couldn't help but turn blue. No doubt his identity is the biggest pain point now. Although the Venetians helped him complete this coup, it was obviously not easy to escape the eyes of Alto Roche, who was close to him.

But looking at the disappearing figure on the side, Baron Venier showed a hint of disdain on his face and said, "It seems that the knights of Burgundy are all the same stubborn guys!" Obviously, there was a hint of coldness in his words. He was also a knight from Burgundy. What was the fate of Marquis William Chaplet? It goes without saying that this Venetian was like holding the power of life and death and not taking a monarch of the dignified Principal of Athens seriously. This made Gotford

The heart in his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Now Venice has expanded to an unparalleled level without the restraint of the Romans, and it might be a very bad consequence. Think about it, just because it is not in line with the interests of the Venetians, the power of the Achaia vassal state was easily overturned by the other party. So what would happen if he was abandoned by the other party one day? I felt scared when I thought about it, and Gottfry couldn't help but bow his head and say nothing.

Serenveril, who did not notice the change in Gotfry's mentality, turned around and walked to the table and looked at the topographic map placed, and said, "Although you can wait until the Greeks are exhausted before they can solve them, I think it's still a bit boring. Why not give our enemies some new tricks! I remember that the Greeks left many corpses when they fled."

As soon as this said, Gottfry couldn't help but notice something strange from the other party's words, "Do you want to...?"

I saw the young man in front of me showing an understatement on his face and said, "When I traveled to the East, I had been to Egypt. When I saw Sudan of Egypt besieging the Crusaders' castle, he threw the body into the city with a catapult. The kind of fearful oppression even normal people would be driven crazy."

"Are you telling it seriously, Lord Wenil?" After hearing this, Gotford looked at the young man in front of him in fear. He was under thirty years old but said this indifferently. You must know that this method, although wars between the Crusaders and the Saracen pagans were very common, now they fought against the Greeks who were also Christians, but using such cruel means to strike morale was enough to cause an uproar. Even as an usurper, he dared not easily agree with this approach.

But looking at Gottfry's reaction, Wenier, whose head tilted slightly, mocked with coldness: "Do you think I'm joking? Ending all this as soon as possible is the most important thing. I'm going to investigate what power is behind the Greeks supporting them in the Battle of Fort Wiscarri, but I don't have time to waste it here. I remember that Lord Gottfry, you shouldn't be an indecisive person, otherwise we wouldn't pick you."

"But if this matter is passed to the Holy See..."

"So what happened? After the Crusaders ransacked Zara and Constantinople, the Innocent Apostle was just a few words of condemnation. Didn't they even take back the extortion order? As long as there were enough benefits, even the apostles of God would turn a blind eye to what Satan did." Without taking the holy See and the secular vision at all, Venier said disdainfully, perhaps the Western nations cannot have the right to church.

The Venetian Republic, which had always been pragmatic, did not have this problem. Even the Emperor Innocent III, who claimed to be the most powerful, ordered the Venetians and Genoese to stop trade with the emperor at the beginning, but in the end it would be just a piece of waste paper. After all, the entire Western world would have to rely on their ships to transport the crusades to launch the Eastern Expedition, and even Innocent dared not touch them.

After hearing the other party's words, Gottfrey also felt a chill in his heart. No wonder no one was willing to deal with the Venetians and the Genoese, but he also knew that he had no room for refusal. The other party's hint was already very obvious. If he really didn't do as the man in front of him said, William Chaplet would be his fate.

"What I can say is that I will go down and arrange for someone to prepare..." There was a forced smile on my face, but the man had to obey.

Faced with the dignified monarch of Achaia's vassal state, Seren Vernier also accepted it calmly and waved his hand and said, "Very good, you go down first!" After that, he looked at the map in front of him, with a hint of pride on his face. What he received behind this trip was the support of the Vinier family. As the great nobles in the city of Venice, they have been suppressed by the Dandoro family. Not long ago, the Dandoro family suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of Fort Wiscarry, and gave them a chance to take the opportunity to take the lead. The elders in the family gave Seren Vernier this task, so he naturally tried his best. If the matter here is solved this time, it might not be impossible for him to rise to the top from now on or even run for the consul in the future.
