Eagle Flag of Epirus

Of course the Grand Duke Anastasius would not agree to the so-called ultimatum of the Venetians. He clearly understood that if Justinian died, the entire southern Peloponnese would fall back into Achaia. In the hands of the country, this is the purpose of the Venetians. Just a Wiscari Fort is unnecessary for them, and it is nothing compared to helping the Achaia state to regain lost ground.

And if the Moria nobles really handed Justinian to the Venetians, then the comeback state of Achaia would definitely not miss the remnant refuge of the Byzantine aristocracy in Fort Wiscari, and it would be offended by that time. The Moria nobles of Nicaea and Epirus will have no place to stand.

It can be seen that the Venetians are sinister, and it is precisely because of this that the Grand Duke Anastasius has resisted the opposition and directly rejected the Venetian's ultimatum, which invisibly resolved a death disaster for Justinian.

"The key?" Justinian looked at Grand Duke Anastasius's attitude, although he was relieved, but he slightly frowned when he heard what the other party had just said.

The old man in front of him nodded and said: "Yes, the key. Although I have suppressed the hostility of the nobles for you, but this does not mean that you really turn the crisis into peace. As long as the blockade of Fort Wiscari is not Dismissed, then you may be assassinated or even betrayed at any time."

"Is this your attitude towards people who are fighting for the empire? Hehe, it really made me look at me." Justinian couldn't help watching Grand Duke Anastasius utter such cold words so calmly. She sneered, how ironic it was, those so-called honorable nobles showed such ugly faces when they really tested them.

He also finally understood why the thousand-year-old empire had fallen to where it is today, because the Byzantine Empire has already been covered with many such cancers.

And Anastasius also saw the anger in Justinian's heart and understood his mood at this time, but still answered in a calm tone as much as possible: "This is the limit I can do for you. Although drinking poison to quench thirst is stupid, you can't stop a person who is dying of thirst from making such a choice. Because of this, the key to whether this crisis can be resolved is all in your body."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Justinian took a deep breath and calmed down his feelings. Although he felt chilled, what Anastasius said was indeed very rational. He could only accept the fact.

Looking at Justinian's reaction, Grand Duke Anastasius was very satisfied. For a young and energetic young man, such tolerance can be said to be rare. But it is indispensable for a person who wants to step onto the power ladder. He understood better why the Majesty Muzfius chose Justinian.

"It's very simple. The key to everything now is to break the Venetian blockade, and as long as you can do all this, everything will be solved."

The old man’s faint words sounded through the entire hall, and Justinian somewhat understood the meaning of the old man in front of him, and said: "Are you talking about using my army in Tripolis?" Since Fort Wiscari Since the enemy’s forces cannot break through the enemy’s blockade, they can only rely on external support, and this is undoubtedly their last hope.

But Justinian was caught in a dilemma. If Tripolis’ army was dispatched, first of all Zeodo Cephalon and the others would be ready to move, and secondly and most importantly, if the city of Tripolis was empty, there would be a lot of emptiness. It may be counterattacked by Achaia, and once it loses its gate to the southern Peloponnese, the consequences will be disastrous.

But now, as Grand Duke Anastasius said, if he can't solve this crisis as soon as possible, he will not even be able to protect himself.

At this time, at the mountain pass north of the foothills of Fort Wiscari, several camps rose from the ground. After a fierce argument between the Venetians, Ranieri finally persuaded all his subordinates to blockade the Fort Wiscari. And all of this must be attributed to George Frontier.

At the combat meeting, the man completely told the Venetians about the weaknesses and defects of Fort Wiscari, and this gave him absolute certainty, and they pulled out Mo with lightning speed as soon as they landed ashore. The secret sentry placed by the nobles of Leah conquered the mountain pass and blocked the only exit from the land to the outside world from Fort Wiscari.

"In this case, the people in Fort Wiscari will not escape even if they have their wings. I believe this time, your Excellency will be able to succeed." Looking at the built fortifications, George Frontier was in Ranieri Dando. Luo's side complimented that the Venetians inherited the civil technology of ancient Rome, and their use of this fortification equipment was no worse than the Byzantines.

However, Ranieri turned a deaf ear to this~www.ltnovel.com~ while he ordered his men to closely observe the actions of Fort Wiscari to prevent the Byzantines from attacking their camp. On the other hand, he asked the sea fleet to strengthen the cruise and not to Byzantium. People have any chance of replenishment at sea.

"How long can the food in their city last?" Ranieri asked.

"Without the supply of the farmland below the mountain and the Genoese merchants on the sea, they can support up to ten days. Although they wisely rejected your ultimatum, when the city ran out of the last grain, the fear of hunger permeated every noble and commoner. At that moment, can they remain sane? Believe me, it is only a matter of time before they surrender or hand over the Governor of Moria." Although the scale of Fort Wiscari is small, there are many refugees from other places. After months of investigation, George Frontier knew it well. In contrast, the Venetians can rely on plundering the surrounding area and the food and grass they carry to support them for enough time. They only need to wait for the food in the city to run out, then it is only a matter of time before the other party can not support it.

Ranieri shuddered as he watched George Frontier say these words nonchalantly, but he had no interest in the internal fighting of the Byzantines. All he had to do now was to end all this as much as possible, in order to obtain Achaia. The friendship of the country was able to request the Holy See to lift the excommunication order against his father.

After a moment of silence, Ranieri also told George Frontier an intelligence exchange price, "According to reliable information, Henry of Flanders is ready to mobilize troops to cross the sea to attack Nicaea again, and this time they An agreement was reached with the Sultan of Roma, and even the Komunen family of Trabizon agreed to cooperate with you against you."

And as soon as these words came out, George Frontier, who was originally smiling and calm, suddenly changed color——
