Part 5: The 2nd jihad:
Once again the Mameluks attacked:
Although the war will probably end as the first one without serious consequences, we had lost our allies because of it:
At least someone in the world is willing to help us:
Our nation mourns, because of the dead of Episuses greatest monarch and our heir is only 14:
A new alliance:
The moment would be great to attack OE, despite beeing at war in Africa, all our army waited in Greece (we could't have done anything against the Mameluks), but there still was the regency council:
Our provinces were fast captured:
Our navy had been successfully increased:
We knew this would happen, but at least the Mameluks are dihonounerable scum now:
A new alliance was accepted for the upcoming peace negotiations with the Mameluks:
Again only treaties had been annuled:
Hungary who were still warning us were in trouble too:
More rebellions in Africa (later was decided to let this rebels in the provinces, because Sirt will go to Tripoli and thus still provide some little income and Cyrenaika will defect to Tunisia, thus beeing a buffer between us and the Mameluks):
But our defensive wars weren't over yet:
And again an ally was lost:
And regained:
Byzantinum attacked from Naxos and we lost the battle for Athens:
Morea seemed to be at war as well:
Though we tried to prevent it we were defeated every time (Byzantium brought 5000 more men) and Athens was lost:
With our armies not gaining enough reinforcements(we still only got about 150 men per month) and beeing outnumbered on home soil we sued for peace... for now...
The next update will come soon...
