Loser System and Berserker Me Chapter 45: Menacing Smile from Venice

Morea had been the only place other than Constantinope to still fly the twin-headed eagle flag prior to Shu Yichao’s arrival.

It was built on terrain highly advantageous to the defenders. The Crusaders, Venetians, Romains, and Ottomains had had many terrible fights around this fortress, but the Romains held their ground in the end.
