Eagle Flag of Epirus

The silence outside the Fort Wiscari was the atmosphere of joy in the city, and the soldiers and people in the city were celebrating this rare victory.

Most of them had to go into exile to this remote town because of the war. Because of this, no one did not hate the Venetian who was the culprit, but at the same time they were deeply afraid. But not long ago, they severely inflicted a heavy blow to the invincible Venetian army. Looking at the corpses discarded by the enemy under the city, the Byzantine soldiers and civilians all sang and danced, just like a festival.

But all this didn’t strike everyone’s minds. Whether it was Justinian or the other Moriah nobles, they knew that this kind of harmless loss could not stop the Venetians, on the contrary, it would be even more irritating. other side.

Fortunately, the nobles were finally relieved when they learned that Justinian was doing this to cover the help-seekers to break through. But even so, the heaviness of the mood has not diminished in the slightest, not to mention whether Tripolis’ reinforcements can defeat the Venetians is still unpredictable. Even so, it is difficult to say whether the current Fort Wiscari can continue to defend the castle. Up. It took at least six or seven days for the reinforcements to arrive back and forth, and during this period of time to resist the Venetian attack, everyone was at a loss.

It's just that the nobles of Moria didn't know that the enemy in the city was the most terrifying compared to the threat outside the city. Because at any time, the strongest castle was breached from the inside.

In the mansion of the Countess Agnes, the Duke of Leosgros, who had come as a guest before, was tasting the imported red wine with the woman in front of him. The smell of wine was scented, but it was slightly bitter when he drank it.

"Unexpectedly, he succeeded."

"But he failed."

The two people looked at each other with a heavy heart. Everything they had done before was in vain. Whether it was detecting the night attack and leaking out to prepare the Venetians or installing an assassin, they all ended in failure.

Justinian succeeded in deceiving them and let the people seeking help break through, and their assassin not only failed, but was also captured on the spot. The latter is extremely deadly. Once the Assassin assassins confessed to them, the consequences can be imagined.

Putting down the wine glass, Leosgros looked at Agnes and said, "Did you find out? When Grand Duke Anastasius spoke before, his eyes were a little different from usual."

"What's the difference... He seems to be observing our reaction." Although the Countess Agnes is a female, as the existence in charge of a large family, how can she not have the keen insight into the opportunities?

"In that case, the Grand Duke had already noticed it...just kept it for a long time." Agnes guessed that all occurrences can only be explained in this way.

But I saw that Duke Leo also nodded, and said with a slight emotion: "Hidden is so deep, I'm afraid Justinian has been aware of it before, but we have been kept in the dark. We really deserve him. !" The man's sigh did not know whether he was talking about Anastasius or Justinian. Or both.

But compared to the emotion of Leosgros, Agnes looked worried.

"Surely we have already exposed!" The woman couldn't help but worry.

But Duke Leo smiled and shook his head and asked, "If that's the case, can we still sit here now? Not the only worrying thing is the Assassin assassin." At this point, the man converged. He smiled and said coldly.

However, Mrs. Agnes did not hesitate to make a sure guarantee, “Their credit is worthy of recognition, and you don’t have to worry about it.” As professional killers, the Assassins, although they are frightening and notorious, are among the employers. But the reputation is excellent. In Agnes's opinion, Duke Leo's worry is unnecessary.

But Liosgros sneered: "The credibility of a killer is more reassuring than a living person, a dead person who can't speak, Agnes."

"You want... you're crazy!" Agnes, who heard what the other party meant, changed color suddenly, and Leosgros wanted to kill the Assassin assassin. This was a crazy move. Assassin’s Javier must be reported. The Fatimid dynasty tried to suppress the Assassin sect's uprising. As a result, several kings and ministers were assassinated in more than ten years, which caused political turmoil. Since then, no one is willing to provoke these desperadoes, but now that Duke Leo actually wants to kill people, this is still burning.

However, Duke Leo, who was prepared for this, showed a subtle expression on his face, raising his glass and whispering in front of him: "Of course I am not crazy, dear countess, sometimes people will only believe what they want to believe. As long as the shot is clean enough. The person who kept the assassin's mouth shut forever will not be us but our Lord Governor."

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Agnes also felt a chill in her heart. She finally felt the horror of the man in front of her, but at the same time she also realized something and understood what Leosgros had planned in her heart.

...

When Leosgros and Mrs. Agnes were discussing secretly, on the other side, Justinian neither returned to his residence nor went to see Grand Duke Anastasius, but took him with him. Several Turkic guards by the side went to a secret dungeon in Fort Wiscari, where the assassin who tried to assassinate Justinian was locked in here~www.ltnovel.com~This Asa As soon as Xin Assassin was caught, Justinian ordered Zhou Quan to be escorted and held. Of course, Justinian didn't expect the other party to reveal who was behind him, because this professional assassin must have his own rules, but in fact he has other ideas.

In the gloomy dungeon, the Assassin assassin with shackles all over his body was bruised and wounded. In order to subdue him, the Byzantine soldiers seemed to have suffered a lot for him.

And watching Justinian appear in front of him, the assassin's face did not show any fluctuations in expression, but remained silent as always. From beginning to end, after being caught, the assassin didn't say anything, he had already planned to be killed, and this was indeed in line with the behavioral style of Assassin's desperado organization.

Regarding this, Justinian was not surprised at all. He calmly looked at the jailed assassin in front of him and said: "I know, for you, the indoctrination since childhood is that you must never have any words with your assassination target. Exchanges and unnecessary contacts. But before that, I have one thing to give you. You can decide whether you are willing to answer my question after you see it.” Justinian threw a ring in his hand to To each other.

But when this special ring fell into the eyes of the Assassin assassin, the original indifferent man suddenly changed his expression and looked at Justinian with an incredible look.

And Justinian smiled slightly, he guessed right, that ring was what the armored warrior gave himself before his death in the Arena of Agrinion. And he finally determined that what Theodor Dukas wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of was an Assassin’s assassin. The man’s previous assassination tactics and the armored warrior used in Agrignon same.
