The Seleucian paper report was spread out before Gawain's eyes around the scroll, and Maglendius was a sophisticated imperial bureaucrat who was well versed in the western part of the empire, and summed up in detail the lessons of the former empire's confrontation with Serbia and Bulgaria. The savarians of the Sava (i.e., the name given to the Serbs) were not to be feared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the pseudo-patriarch of Tuscany and the Grand Count of Sicily were nothing more than a man of the ropes.

His Majesty first took the regions of Savoy, Mosia, and Thessaly, and in three years he could obtain a strong army of servants in these three places by using the Great Tax Book, and then take Diokeria (the region of Dalmatia), and force Hungary and Venice to sign an alliance under the city to withdraw from the war, and to vassalize the city-state of Ragusa, so that it would echo Bari, close the gates of the Adriatic Sea, and cut off Venice's access to the sea, so that Venice would have no hope of aiding the puppet emperor John; Then he turned south and captured Moria, and obtained the response of the local Virziti (another branch of the Slavic tribe), and sent the fleets of Atalia and Misia to help the siege, and after obtaining this place, he could send sailors to cut off the strait of Otranto and block the sea route of the Norman bandits in Sicily; Then all roads marched together, and immediately broke through the Kastorian Pass from the center, and swept through Deshuram and Epirus, so that the vast territory of the previous dynasty was about to be restored...... At that time, Venice must be eradicated from its military, commercial, economic, and political independence, and its city-state must be destroyed...... The unification of Asia Minor will surely lead to Constantinople; And if you have Constantinople and Thrace, you will have Macedonia, Mosya, and Savoy; and the lands of Moria, Thessaly, Epirus, and Diocleria; After that, His Majesty wielded his sword to the west, and Italy was left to His Majesty to turn over, at that time, he could destroy the Sicilian Normans, unite many vassals of Bari, Ancona, and Taranto, and be friendly to the allies such as Relaya, Pisa, and Amalfi, and draw a border with Salian Caesar.

Now that His Majesty has acquired the great cities of Meisembria, Sozopolis, Deltuves, Viklon, and Tervono, all of which are places of military revolution, wealth, grain, and commerce, the Mosian rebels have declined, and are confined to the mountains, and will not be long before, and Your Majesty does not need to go deep into the northern mountains, but only needs to send Giovanni to take the seat of Tellvono and Androdat to prepare the military system; His Majesty did not need to take another route to conquer the traitors of Saldica (Sophia's name on the Byzantine side), which was mostly a dangerous place, which was conducive to the enemy's sniper and ambush, but should leave the Stara Pass in a false voice, but in fact led the main forces of the Red Hand, Guimegis, and the cavalry forbidden army, directly through Versigenia, Adrianople, and Fort Philip, to meet with General Merlot at the Gate of Trajan, and then with the huge force of five brigades, with the support of General Branas's southern flank, he attacked Saldica head-on, and used cutting-edge explosive firearms to destroy his city defenses, a single drum annihilated the Berding rebels.

If Berdin escapes, he will build a strong barrier on the front line of Saldica and Niš, which can split the entire Savoy and Mosya regions in two, and then can not only focus on Berdin's rebellion, but also prevent the arrival of reinforcements from Hungary and Venice, and thwart the attacks of the remnants of the rebels in the mountains of Mosya. As long as the key hub of Sardica falls into His Majesty's control, then the Latin Tins from the West will do nothing, and His Majesty will be able to capture their main force and crush this rabble at the right place of the decisive battle. ”

After reading the letter from Grandpa Little Sunfish, Gawain's plan suddenly became clear, and without the slightest hesitation, he asked the attendants and confidential officers to come into the camp, made careful homework on the sand table map table, and asked General Theognes to make a model of the castle of Saldica, and began to simulate the deployment of artillery and explosives to attack the city.

Three days later, in the military camp of Versigenia, the emperor personally inspected the forbidden army on the school field and officially raised the new imperial flag: the double-headed eagle (fog) representing the dual rule of Baselius and Baselisa, and its two secondary flags were the former red hand cross sword flag and the traditional white and blue striped small purple cross flag of the empire. Gawain then secretly "entrusted" the military flag to Giovanni, the Imperial Court Chancellor led the "Bulgarian Brigade" and the main forces of the people's army on both sides of Pisidia and Dolilaam, and then rushed to Tervono, Vibo and Stara Pass.

Anderodat, the postmaster of the capital, had a new mission, and he had to go to these areas in the same way, and supervise the preparation and operation of the Great Tax Book of Moses in the coming year.

Ander Odat didn't know what his title of postmaster was for. Now it's really like a postman running around.

In mid-March, Berdin at Fort Sophia suddenly received a report from scouts that a large number of enemy troops under the banner of the Roman Empire had appeared at Stara Pass on the east side, and that they had come in a bad way—it was almost certain that Gawain had arrived with the main force.

At the same time, reports were received from the southern front that three brigades of Branas had advanced to the valley of the Vardar River, where the Turkic herdsmen (the source of the Vadaritai cavalry) had been expelled, on charges of aiding the rebellion. Some of the Vardar tribes have surrendered, while others have fled in all directions, spreading panic in Ohrid and other areas.

And the three brigades of Merlot in the area of Trajan's Gate are also deep ditches and high fortifications, and the soldiers practice every day, and they are full of murderous spirit, and they are ready to attack at any time.

"John, Simon, and the Venetian consuls, and especially the recent Hungarian princes, are their promises, their armies, all false on paper?" Berding was furious, for he felt the heartfelt horror of the enemy's attack on three sides.

But with the enemy in the present, Berdin also had to deploy troops to defend against possible threats.

To be cautious, he first sent an army of 3,000 men to ambush in the forest road leading from Stara to Fort Sophia, firstly for effective reconnaissance by force (whether or not Gawain was coming), and secondly, to inflict heavy losses on the enemy with soldiers familiar with the terrain. He then had his brother Vladimir lead a cavalry of 8,000 men between the castles of Skopje and Pritzren, which happened to be sandwiched between the upper reaches of the Vardar River, and was used to provide a barrier for Ohrid and Fort Sophia to monitor the army that was going north against Branas. In the end, he brought 15,000 Serbian troops with him and continued to hold the core of Fort Sofia.

Berdeen then calmed down and continued to ask the allies to take care of their defenses, after all, if they collapsed, Gawain's "flood of calamity" would be able to reach the Alps.
