Eagle Flag of Epirus - Vol 8 Chapter 104.30
In the dark monastery, Justinian came here again, but he didn’t know the purpose of the Grand Duke Anastasius in this monastery.
In the dimly lit aisle, there were only a few servants who kept their heads down. Justinian slowly pushed open the door in front of him, only to see Grand Duke Anastasius, who was holding an ancient book in front of him, raised his head. Come.
“You have worked hard, Justinian!”
The old man nodded at Justinian casually like a kind elder, but Justinian walked forward without a word to find a chair before sitting down, and said straight to the point:
“Is there anything that I must come here to discuss?”
He didn’t think that under the current circumstances, this emperor who has experienced several emperors can be said to be Moria’s most powerful and turbulent ** clerk who called himself over just to say these simple and beautiful words. Since the old man could be alarmed to take the shot himself, Justinian believed that something major must have happened.
Seeing Justinian reacting like this, Anastasius’s old face hesitated, but made a choice and slowly said:
“Sure enough, I can’t hide it from you, Justinian. Your performance yesterday was indeed brave. If you hadn’t severely injured them, everyone in the entire castle would not survive today, but you think the Venetians would really be so easy. Are you willing to give up?” The old man looked at Justinian with a serious look, asking him to honestly state his prediction.
And Justinian immediately became vigilant, it was obvious that what the Grand Duke Anastasius asked him was not so simple. After thinking for a while, the young man didn’t conceal anything, and said frankly his own guess.
“They probably, it shouldn’t be said that they will definitely make a comeback.” Justinian severely damaged the Venetian fleet. Such a huge loss to the Venetian is like a winning gambler who suddenly lost himself at the table. Most of the bargaining chips, the Venetians absolutely have only one thing to do now, that is, to make up for this loss at all costs, and will never give up unless Justinian can make them lose their money.
But it’s not easy to say. Just last night’s fierce battle, Justinian had estimated that the Venetians mobilized as many as thousands of troops. With the heavy damage of the Greek fire, although they were traumatized, they had not yet hit the opponent and lost their combat effectiveness. To the point. That also means that Venetian revenge will definitely come. And it must never rest until the goal is reached.
After receiving Justinian’s answer, Grand Duke Anastasius nodded and said, “Very well, you’re right. Although your Greek fire gave the Venetian a beautiful counterattack, it was also irritated. The injured lion is undoubtedly more dangerous now than ever. I think you should know this, Justinian.”
“Of course I know this, so do you have anything else you want to say to me?”
“Not long ago, according to the information from the scouts, several mountain passes below Fort Wiscari had been blocked by the Venetians, and the sea was naturally the world of the Venetian fleet. In other words, now This castle is already a veritable isolated city. And you know what it means!”
The words of Grand Duke Anastasius suddenly made Justinian’s heart sink. He had anticipated this. This was the worst case. His original plan was to hold on to the city, and the Venetians were on an expedition. Replenishment will not last forever, and when the time comes, it will naturally have no choice but to retreat. But the Venetian was smarter than he thought, and they in turn blocked the entire castle. After coming to Fort Wiscari for a few days, Justinian knew that the castle’s products were barren, basically relying on marine fisheries and trade, plus the manor below the mountain to maintain the daily needs of the residents, but now the Venetians do this It was like cutting off the lifeline of this castle. The entire castle’s defenders and the number of residents are quite large. In comparison, they are not as exhausting as the Venetians.
Justinian, who frowned slightly, groaned: “It seems that George Frontier really told the Venetians about the truth and fiction of the entire castle, and these guys would rather use this method of killing the enemy by killing one thousand and eight hundred. I also want to break here.” Justinian, who saw the Venetian’s intentions, also found it a little tricky. The enemy had clearly grasped the gate of Fort Wiscari. Although this castle is in a dangerous terrain, it is now because of the empire. The disintegration and the fatal weakness is that they are isolated and helpless, so the other party can calmly block them.
But what the Grand Duke Anastasius said next made Justinian’s expression even worse.
“This is just a normal method. What’s more powerful lies in their tactics. Not long ago, the Venetian sent someone to send a letter over. It stated that as long as we hand over you, they are willing to retreat and stop besieging Weiss. Fort Cary.”
The Grand Duke Anastasius changed a pair of emotionless eyes to stare at Justinian, and at that moment Justinian felt as if a tremendous weight fell on him, making him unable to breathe. He felt it. At that moment, the old man exuded a strong murderous aura. UU reading www.uukANAshu.com
This is really troublesome!
Taking a breath of air, Justinian subconsciously swept his gaze to the surrounding area. All he had to do was to lay the killer here. Anastasius’s order would be enough to save himself from death.
Although Justinian said before that he didn’t think Anastasius would be harmful to him, who would really entrust his life to a stranger? For a moment he regretted not letting Arslan follow.
In this case, if the other party is in trouble, he can only try to hold the old man in front of him. Justinian’s brain was spinning fast, thinking about the means of coping.
But Anastasius’ next words suddenly stunned him.
“Don’t worry, Justinian, there is no one of mine lying in ambush here. Although when I received this letter, many nobles, including me, had considered compromising with the Venetians, but I finally rejected them. All.” Anastasius told Justinian calmly, and the previous repression for Justinian was wiped out.
“Then why?” Justinian was still looking at the grandpa in front of him vigilantly. At that moment, he finally realized the horror of this old monster that has gone through several generations of dynasties. The deep shadow almost There is a feeling of swallowing people.
And I just listened to Grand Duke Anastasius saying indifferently: “It’s very simple, if we agree to the Venetian’s letter, it will only quench our thirst by drinking poison, and you, as the source of this crisis, will also solve this problem. The key to the crisis.”
