Chapter 81: Destruction

A secret door slowly opened in front of Duke Otto's eyes as the news of the agency started, and it led directly to the place where Marquis Gotforry was under house arrest.

In order to prevent accidents, such as the mutiny of the Achaean army, no one else knew about this secret place of house arrest except a few people, and nothing is important now. Despite all the helplessness, in fact, he had to rely on the power of the Marquis Gottfrey and the army behind him to save the situation he is facing now. With the servants beside him, Ottoroche walked straight in, and the little noble behind him seemed to follow him curiously.

It has to be admitted that this is a secret place. Without the Duke of Otto, ordinary people would never have thought that the Marquis Gottfrey would have been under house arrest here. After turning a few aisles, they finally came to a secret room. Ottoroche, who took out the key, slowly opened the door. A man was sitting upright, either, or the usurper of Achaia, the Marquis Gottfrey.

However, looking at her neat clothes, it is obvious that although Duke Otto placed him under house arrest, he did not really treat him as a prisoner.

With his back to Duke Otto who came, he sat on the chair, Gottfrey said calmly: "If you guessed correctly, the situation would be out of control!" Without asking, the man had guessed that the Greeks' trick had succeeded, otherwise how could Ottoroche come to him on his own initiative? I'm afraid that the city of Athens has reached a precarious situation now.

Seeing this scene, Duke Otto also showed a hint of embarrassment and flashed by, but the matter had reached this point, and he would no longer cover up any more. He nodded and said, "Everything before was indeed as you said was the enemy's trick. During this period, the Greeks took advantage of our lack of preparation to use the sub-digger to dig the tunnel and destroy the city walls and attacked. Now I need your strength, Gotfry, if we do not work together, we will be buried here."

Although he knew that he was not qualified to say this, Ottoroche still had to put his last hope on the Marquis Gotfrey in front of him. If the three thousand Achaean troops under his command could work together with him, they might be able to turn the situation around. After all, the Greeks are still exhausted to the end of their power.

After hearing the other party's plea, Gottfry was despised, but after pondering for a while, he finally nodded, "I promise you, who told you that I am a grasshopper on a rope now, but the previous account is not over yet!" After that, the Marquis of Achaia showed a cold look, and was obviously still full of anger at what had happened before.

Duke Otto, who received the other party's promise, finally put down a big stone in his heart. He was ecstatic and had no time to care about his old grudges.

However, as soon as Gottfry's next sentence fell, Ottoroche, who had finally relaxed, suddenly changed his face.

"Then the coalition forces will obey my command. Since the city of Athens can no longer be defended, it can only break through at the lowest cost." The first thing Gottfry thought of was not to organize a counterattack, but to find a way to escape from here, which immediately surprised Otto. If so, then what's the point of doing this by himself?

"Are you crazy to give up Athens? This is the only thing I have now. Can't I just give in to you?"

"Of course, you wouldn't think that with my joining, you can reverse the current situation, right? The moment the city wall was lost, the fate of the city was already destined. What's more, it's like you alone who lost everything you have. Staying here now can only ruin your life in vain, or it's wise to preserve your strength." Gottfry looked at the other party coldly and replied, while taking the pledge that originally belonged to him.

"Then what's the point of letting you out?" Duke Otto, who was angrily laughing, looked at the other party with absurd face and asked.

But what I got was an angry roar—

"You foolish people shouldn't have been under house arrest at the beginning. Now all this situation is thanks to you. Instead, I want to clean up the mess for you. Don't you think it's too ridiculous? The only thing I can do now is to let the damn fox tear off some meat from us as little as possible."

How could Gotfry not be angry? He had already warned the other party before, but in the end he still let the Greeks take advantage of the loopholes. Now he can only choose to reduce his losses.

Faced with the reprimand of the Marquis of Achaia like a storm, Otto, who had been furious for a while, seemed to be a deflated ball, silent. He gradually stabilized from his fluctuating emotions just now, and realized that he had no choice but to accept such a compromise.

"Okay, let's listen to you! Now you can only escape like a betrayed dog as far as possible." The man with a wry smiled nodded immediately, but there was an extremely unwilling voice. Most of them joined the Crusaders to make a career. Finally, Ottoroche could obtain his fiefdom. However, in just over a year, the Greeks snatched it back from his hands, asking him to swallow this breath.

But Gotforry didn't care what the other party was thinking, but turned around and looked at the map that had been hanging behind him. Although he was under house arrest, the man has been caring about the entire battle situation these days.

"Concentrate all your strength to retreat to the northern city area, which should be the weakest place for the Greeks to defend. It is too dangerous to return to Corinth south, and the Venetians cannot count on it. We can only rely on His Majesty Bonifas in Thessalonika." It is helpless to say that they are the Crusaders under Bonifas, who were independent after they became bigger, but now they have to return to their subordinates. However, looking at the whole situation, they now have no choice but to do so.

"But the Greeks might also guess this!"
