Chapter 40 Anastasius' Helplessness
Looking at Justinian's cunning face, Arslan realized the intention of the other party to do so.
Indeed, with rumors spreading in the city now, Justinian did have enough reason to strengthen his defense in his residence, and at the same time, this could not alarm the enemy.
"But wouldn't this be even more dangerous?" Arslan was still a little worried that people would have a selfish side. If they were not careful, they would fall into danger and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Justinian shook his head and said, "I am mentally prepared for this. Since the man on the battlefield arranged for Isaac to assassinate me, it means that he will never let it go. So instead of waiting
It is better to take this opportunity to strengthen defense openly if threats may arise at any time. Perhaps the other party is more troublesome now."
Seeing Justinian's confident look, Arslan also understood that the wood was ready, "Okay, Lord Justinian hopes that you are right to do this. But you should not only ask me to come and discuss these things!"
Arslan knew Justinian's character, and the other party never wastes extra time. He specifically called himself over here to discuss something more important.
Justinian nodded with a smile on his face: "It turns out that you know me. I really have something to discuss with you." After the smile was put away, Justinian's voice became serious, he called
Of course, Arslan came over for important things, but now there are many Byzantine soldiers outside in his residence, so he must hide his eyes and ears.
Arslan in front of him was also mentally prepared and said, "Then I will do my best." He believed that Justinian was not just because of loyalty or friendship, but because of Al who had seen Justinian's means.
Slan knew that the situation that Fort Wiscarry is facing now is the only boy who may have a way to solve it.

At this time, in the hall of the official office of Fort Wiscari, all the nobles of Molia were discussing matters. Now that the empire is falling apart, they can only discuss important matters like the ancient Senate.
But at this moment of life and death, facing the major crisis in front of them, these nobles all felt their scalp tingling and it was difficult to make a decision. Because no one could afford this responsibility.
If they were not careful, they would be likely to follow in Constantinople's footsteps. They saw that everyone in the hall did not say a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy and depressing.
As the leader of the nominal Molia nobles, Grand Duke Anastasius sighed and said, "Oh, have you still not reached an agreement? Leosgros, are you still hesitating?"
Then he turned his sight to the Duke of Leosgros, who was sitting opposite him, who was the highest-ranking man among the Moria nobles, second only to him. His attitude often represented the wishes of the Moria noble group.
.
Therefore, Leos Gross's words also put pressure on the other party invisibly.
At this moment, the Countess Agnes on the side finally couldn't help but say, "Please be honest, Grand Duke, I agree with your thoughts, and expect that Justinian to go to Tripolis to ask for help, it's completely
Unrealistic. If that boy leaves here, he may give up on us at any time. My attitude is clear, I don't trust the boy from Epirus. And forcibly attacking the Venetian stronghold at the foot of the mountain,
It is hard to say whether to break through the lockdown."
On this morning, the nobles were only arguing, that is, the Grand Duke Anastasius, who rarely interfered in government affairs, stood up and proposed to attack the Venetians' blockade at the foot of the mountain, and escort Justinian out to the north.
Tripolis asked for help. But even with such high prestige as Anastasius, when he proposed this decision, he received one-sided opposition from almost all the nobles in Fort Wiscari.
The reason for opposition is naturally very high-sounding and simple, that is, what if Justinian doesn’t return?
But there is still a subtext below this sentence, that is, Justinian is the condition for the Venetian ultimatum. If he is gone, then Fort Wiscarri will not even have the opportunity to negotiate with the Venetian. This is anyone
Even if they didn't want to see this scene, they knew that if they were going on for a long time, they would not be able to fight against the Venetians. This time, these Venetians obviously would not give up until they achieved their goal. They wanted to attack Wisca several times before.
The water source springs on the hillside of the Libao were barely repelled by the Byzantines, but this made the Morian nobles feel the determination of the Venetians.
Seeing such a firm attitude, Anastasius remained silent. Countess Agnes had already spoken the voices of most people, so it was obvious that Leosgros' attitude was already very obvious.
Sure enough, Duke Leo, who had not spoken at this time, finally broke his silence and said lightly: "Duke, we can all understand your proposal, but not to mention whether the defense at the foot of the mountain can be broken through, even if it is really obtained.
The reinforcements from Ripolis are numerous and powerful. They may not be able to control the use of them alone. I think it is better to make a long-term plan for the time being."
"From the long-term plan?" Grand Duke Anastasius glanced at everyone with a subtle expression and said slowly: "Do you want to hand over Justinian to the Venetian?" Anastasius was also tired of hiding.
The way of speaking was tucked, and I felt very unhappy.
But Duke Leo stood up at this time and said, "I dare not, but please understand that if we really do that now, I'm afraid there will be no room for the last bit of maneuver, and this is really
Do you want the result?"
The man's voice resounded in every corner of the hall, with a strong tone. All the nobles heard the words and sentences of Leosgross' words clearly, and nodded and agreed. Several other nobles immediately expressed their support.
Leosgross' statement, and this also made Anastasius understand that even if he guaranteed his reputation this time, he would probably not be able to convince these people.
Grand Duke Anastasius also made his own concessions, holding his forehead and said, "Okay, maybe we can make a long-term plan and arrange for one of Justinian's men to go to Tripolis
, I can convince Justinian as much as I can, and I hope you will do your best to cooperate. You must know that even the strongest castles have been broken from it, whether it is Constantinople or the walls of Babylon.
