The Basileus went with a bang.
He was all over the Byzantine, in a literal sense. And so is the Byzantine empire's army - dying by the thousands as the Ilkhanate and Jerusalem's soldiers wipe every fresh levies, leaving none standing. More surrenders were sent, but ignored as Constantinople went plundered.

The Pope wants Konyland. Realizing that perhaps this is the most opportune time to sever all ties with the Golden Horde, King Henry answers the call of duty, rallying every men of Jerusalem to set forth towards Poland.
It is a good thing he does, because the war is seemingly hopeless.
The Crusaders simply have no answers to the 50,000 strong Horde army.
But Henry knew Alchidai will not last, for his treasury shrunk at a rapid pace...
As the scattered remnants of the Kurwa Krusaders scatter and run from the Horde, they wondered where are the promised troops from Jerusalem?
Just in time. Approaching from the shores of Crimea - massive fleets unload nearly a hundred thousand soldiers into the unprotected Golden Horde territory.
The Normandy's levy also exploited the hardly used route in the north.
The beast is surrounded.
As the Horde's stronghold fall one after another, the Khan grew desperate and sent his 50,000 strong army on a wild chase for Jerusalem's army.
A showdown between two smaller armies proved pivotal - the first Jerusalem's victory in open battle against the Horde.
But time is running out. As the Jerusalem's 20,000 strong army holds off wave after wave of attack, the 50,000 strong - Horde finally turns towards them - there is no escape.
NO SURRENDER, NO RETREAT!
As the 50,000 horde prepare to descend upon the outnumbered Jews, a sudden horn was blown! THE WAR IS OVER!
The Khan's treasury finally ran dry and he concedes defeat -
A historical moment in Jerusalem's lineage! Much like the founder of the Kingdom, William di Normandie to Jerusalem, Henry is crowned King of Poland.
His first act was to pick a potato off the ground and declared it as 'Jerusalem's Potato.'
The Year is 1334
A new chapter of Potato is about to unfold.
