part 3: Protecting our Brethren in Athens!
The mission our country wanted to accomplish was to rescue our people in Athen from the intruders Venice, but how could we defeat such an economic empire.

We were betraied by Aquileia, who could have easily invaded Venice, but we had to make it only with our Vassal Tripoli:
Venices main force(which hadn't recovered from the battle against the rebels) were soon crushed by our army (supported by 3000 recently hired mercenarys):

But North Africa seemed lost:
In Europe our army successfully invaded Corfu:

And another surprise:
