Eagle Flag of Epirus

On the black tower in Fort Wiscari, the nobles of Moria went there to take refuge, and as soon as they learned that the Venetians had attacked, they immediately retreated here. Far away from the threat of enemy trebuchets, the last heavy soldiers were arranged to guard here instead of being sent to the city wall to coordinate defense.

In the gloomy room, I saw the candles on the brackets illuminating the gloomy faces of everyone, and the windows were closed so that no light could penetrate. Almost all Moria’s nobles and their family members are here to avoid the coming war. Only a few people took up arms and went to the battlefield. Unlike the Pronian nobles, these hereditary clan members of Moria seldom participated in the empire. The war broke out. Therefore, many of them in high positions are helpless. And Alexia was among them, her face pale, and the sound of the collapse of the house just now made her terrified. The spoiled teenagers and girls saw the cruelty of war for the first time, completely different from what they talked about at the banquet.

Just listening to the scene of shouting to the sky outside is enough to make them forget the heroic words of the previous discussion. On the contrary, Justinian, who was about the same age as their noble children, brought soldiers to fight with the Venetians on the front line.

I don't know what is going on now...

Alexia thought slightly in a daze. Since meeting Justinian for the first time at the prom, the girl has been deeply impressed by the convenience. The seemingly humble young man is in the eyes of the nobles. But calmly and freely. I have to say that Alexia is also very surprised. Even after childhood, it is difficult to have this kind of calmness, but Justinian undoubtedly did it, and it was invisible in the short ten days he came here. The great nobles of Moriah accepted the fact that this young man was on an equal footing with them.

Alexia looked at her mother who was in charge of the overall situation at this time-because Duke Leosgros was also leading the army outside, the affairs of the situation fell to the Countess Agnes, who was second only to him. I saw that she was standing in front of the door, and several officers like officers sneaked in from time to time to report to her.

The frowning countess listened carefully, and the surrounding nobles also pricked their ears to listen carefully. Several officers were sent to report the military situation at this time. Although in the tower, the nobles were still in fear for fear of defeat. The news came.

Although Alexia, who was far away, could not help but listen to her mother's voice very softly. "Master Justinian has led the army to entangle the attacking enemy. Although some Venetians have boarded the towers, our army has already rushed them to pieces. Master Justinian asked to mobilize some more troops to support. Fight, and also invite Duke Leo to go quickly."

"So what's the situation?"

"Everything is okay, Grand Duke Anastasius personally went to appease the defenders and boost morale. The Venetians have not yet been able to break through our defenses."

"Since there is nothing on the defense line for the time being, there is no need. As for Duke Leo, he left before and took an army. Now there is no more guarding here." Mrs. Agnes refused the request of the visitor. , Everyone was slightly surprised.

"Why, Countess, do you know that the soldiers on the front lines are fighting the enemy desperately now, and there is absolutely no need to keep so many soldiers here." The officer in front of him couldn't help protesting angrily, but some of them looked bad. The extremely strong guards pressed his shoulders, and obviously wanted to take him away.

But still with an unchanging look, Mrs. Agnes suddenly turned her eyes on the officer in front of her and asked: "It's not necessary, you said it's not necessary? Do you know that the entire tower is filled with everything. All the nobles of Moria, once something happens here, do you know what it means? Don't forget, the group who attacked the Watergate before has not found them yet!"

As soon as this statement came out, the other nobles who were present nodded one after another. Everyone was afraid of death, especially in this situation. And Mrs. Agnes's words just now undoubtedly made the nobles even more. Disagreed with the guard stationed here being transferred away.

Seeing this, Alexia couldn’t help but stepped forward and wanted to persuade her mother, “Mom, the war ahead is tight now. It may not be impossible to separate a little guard. What's more, the rebels in the city are only a small one. Pinch, as long as we help Master Justinian repel the Venetians, we can be safe!" The girl had no idea that her mother had colluded with Nicaea secretly and became a betrayer among the nobles of Moria, taking it for granted. She persuaded her mother to change her mind~www.ltnovel.com~ However, the Countess Agnes immediately reprimanded: "Where is there a place for you to speak, Alexia, let's go back!" Sternly The words made the timid girl's face blue and red, and she lowered her head and walked back, not daring to say more.

And Agnes’ attitude has been fully revealed, knowing that there is no way to persuade the opposing officer, he can only flee away in displeased heart. He is a member of Anastasius’s department and has already treated Moria’s nobles. He was very dissatisfied, and the indifference of these people today undoubtedly greatly angered him, so many people in the crowd finally only one little girl stood up!

Looking at the back of the departed officer, Mrs. Agnes turned around to comfort the others, and said indifferently: "Please don't worry, everything will be fine. The Venetians will definitely not be able to attack, even if the Anna Toria’s boys are useless, and Duke Leo’s army will also repel these Italian barbarians."

Her remarks inspired some of the people present, but more people thought it was unrealistic. If even Justinian could not stop the Venetians, then Fort Wiscari would be dangerous. But what they didn't know was that Mrs. Agnes, who was standing in front of them and presided over the overall situation, had already stood on the opposite side of them. What was ridiculous was that these nobles knew nothing about it. Refusing to ask for help from the front is of course part of the plan. Agnes and the Duke of Leo on the other side have already planned all Venetian attacks.

At this moment, on the head of Fort Wiscari, arrows are like rain, and the Venetians are carrying ladders and siege woods, and holding shields to attack the last defense of the Greeks. Stinney calmly and the soldiers around him fought with the enemy courageously.
