Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 22: Martial Law (Part 2)

Civilians in Fort Wiscari were prohibited from travelling. Every key passage of the castle was guarded by heavily armed Byzantine soldiers. There was no one at this time on the streets that should have been lively during the day.

The Grand Duke of Anastasius led another army to search for suspicious people from house to house. For a while, the Viscari was all over the city. Even the nobles can only obediently subdue in front of these soldiers, and no one dares to resist. Since the Latins swept the entire Peloponnese, Moria's nobles have been like bereaved dogs, and no one dared to offend the Grand Duke Anastasius.

It's just that no one thought that the respected old man would do such a thing. Every nobleman was deeply shocked by the impolite treatment of soldiers. Nothing like this has ever happened in the empire for hundreds of years.

Also shocked were Moria’s superior nobles. Although they were not treated like that, when they wanted to stop this absurd martial law of the whole city, they were given the ruthlessness of Grand Duke Anastasius. Of rejection.

"Your Excellency, why are you doing this?" The nobleman who went to the monastery in person couldn't help but questioned. Although the Anastasius in front of him had the title of despotism, he didn't let him be rude. The power of the mud-legged soldiers to search a dignified aristocratic mansion. This is a great insult to the nobles, even if the emperor wants to do this, he must consider the impact of such a thing.

But facing the dissatisfied nobles in front of him, Anastasius appeared surprisingly calm. "You probably already know about Watergate!" The old man suddenly asked in a wheelchair.

Why did you mention this suddenly? The nobles found it inexplicable, of course they knew what happened in Pratunam. However, this kind of trivial matter can be handled by the people below. Why does the prince in front of him care about this kind of matter?

At this time, among the nobles, Leosgros stood up and said, "We are investigating the Watergate incident. Maybe it is the thieves or other reasons. I believe that the investigation will come to light soon. The chaos of the current situation is also very obvious. Normal." His answer was very decent. The other nobles also nodded one after another. Although the killing of the Watergate guard is not small, the nobles have focused their energy on other things these days, so they have not. Take care of the death of a few people. After all, it is not uncommon for smugglers to take risks in the chaotic situation, and it is not impossible even to kill them.

But Anastasius snorted coldly, revealing a stern face, not at all the kindness of the past, which made all the nobles feel a little bit. They all forgot that although the old man in front of him lived in seclusion for many years, he was a veteran nobleman who had experienced several emperors. He was an existence who had truly stood at the top of power. Although he usually seemed amiable, it was the real juncture Anastasius. When Si revealed his original face, it was like a peerless sword out of its sheath.

"Stupid, haven't you noticed that the Nicaea messenger has left without knowing it? The watergate thing is exactly what that person's handwriting." The old man looked at the nobles with cold eyes, but his heart was too cold. Reluctantly admit that what Justinian once evaluated, these nobles of Moria are indeed unbearable, and Anastasius couldn't help but yell at them for their stupidity.

And as soon as these words came out, the time was filled with an uproar——

"Uncle George Frontier? I haven't seen him in these two days."

"I don't remember he was at home with his illness?"

The nobles were shocked when they heard this news. They didn't notice this at all. They didn't like Uncle George Frontier once in a while and they wished to be so naturally unaware of the abnormality in their hearts. At this time, when Grand Duke Anastasius reminded him, he realized that the pesky George Frontier hadn't even appeared.

"But how did you know?" a nobleman frowned slightly, "and why did Earl George kill the guard at the Watergate." Although they have a very poor relationship with George Frontier, they are not going to do such horrible things. Doing so does not amount to an open rupture between Nicaea and Moria.

At this moment, a young voice suddenly sounded in the cultivation domain.

"Oh, is it? So after my arrival, do you still want to have the intention of Nesia to continue the negotiations?"

The young man who walked out from behind Anastasius was not someone else but Justinian, and his face still had an obvious mocking smile.

"Why are you here?" The startled nobles obviously didn't expect Justinian to be here at Duke Anastasius~www.ltnovel.com~ and the old man in a wheelchair suddenly lifted He raised his hand and motioned: "I asked Mr. Justinian to come here. Don’t be surprised. I think the kid Justinian is not wrong. In fact, you have already rejected the invitation of the Lascaris family. And hope to cooperate with Epirus to regain your territory!"

Seeing this, the nobles looked at each other. They really thought so. After all, the interests are paramount. They can only become puppets in cooperation with Nicaea. It is better to put the treasure on Justinian. And Leos Grosse frowned. He never expected that Justinian and him were chatting and laughing at his house before, but now he was standing in front of this old guy. He finally realized that he was too I underestimated Justinian. What this kid did before was just to deceive himself. Could it be said that this kid's original purpose was to fail Anastasius? Duke Leo couldn't help but guess, but now that it was done, he could only swallow this dumb loss.

"But what does that have to do with what happened in Watergate?" Although they were shocked by what Justinian said, they still couldn't understand why George Frontier did this. Since the negotiation broke down, they would not obstruct the other party leaving them in a fair manner Yeah!

"Because he wants to leave Fort Wiscari without knowing it. Since you have rejected Nicaea's invitation, it is no longer useful to Nicaea, and even becomes a threat. In this way Under the circumstances, if I were Lascaris, I would choose to use the safest means to wipe you out of this world." Before Anastasius could speak, Justinian talked eloquently.

As soon as this remark came out, the time was filled with shock!
