"If you regret it, my previous promise still works. Although I am no longer the princess of the empire, I still have this power." Eudosia solemnly assured Justinian.

And this made Justinian feel warm in his heart. It can be said that since he traveled to this world, the exchange of interests has always trumped human tenderness, but the woman in front of him took the trouble to persuade but was more like a big man.

The elder sister was persuading the disobedient younger generation. Obviously, as the daughter of Alexius III, Eudocia did not inherit that man's insidiousness and cunning.

But despite this, Justinian had made up his mind and replied calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but please remember what I said, and finally I hope you can listen to me. Please don't believe anything easily."

People, of course, include me, and the person you trust most in your heart." After saying that, Justinian left these words of unclear meaning and turned around and left, leaving Princess Eudocia, who was slightly in a daze, walking out of the secret room of the church.

.

Justinian didn't want to say this, because he had no evidence, but in the end he vaguely reminded Eudocia to beware of Leosgros. For some reason, he had an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Maybe

This princess is like a holy lamb, and the greedy

The man who is as greedy as a wolf will one day show his true face, but no one can guarantee what price Odosia will pay. And the kindness Odosia expressed to her before, coupled with Mu

The entrustment from Emperor Zphius made it impossible for Justinian to stand idly by.

But it can't be done now, and he doesn't dare to think about it anymore. Justinian understands that his most important thing now is to deal with the Venetian attack.

Despite occupying the surrounding areas of the castle and cutting off the water supply to Fort Viscari, the Venetians have not taken any action. It has been almost a day and the siege has not started. This makes everyone uneasy. The more this situation happens,

The more worried people become.

And Justinian knew this better. The Venetians who had not made any move for a long time would not move. Once they took action, it would definitely be a thunderous strike. In fact, it was also a risk for him to leave the army and go to the church to see Princess Eudocia.

Once the Venetians launch an attack, without him, all the sudden changes on the battlefield may determine the outcome of a battle, and may also become the key to the life and death of the entire city's soldiers and civilians.

…

…

…

At the same time, outside the city of Viscari Castle, the re-stationed Venetian army was encamped but never launched a siege against Viscari Castle.

On the one hand, it is because the preparations for the siege are indeed still insufficient, and on the other hand, several generals under Ranieri Dandolo are opposed to continuing the attack. In their view, taking the outside of the castle cuts off the Greeks' last hope.

For supplies, they only need to patiently siege, and there is no need to mobilize troops. After all, each attack consumes their personal strength, and the cost of mercenary casualties is basically borne by them. They have already complained about this expedition.

Ranieri is in unspeakable pain. On the one hand, he does not dare to tell his generals that the help seekers of Fort Viscari have successfully broken through. But on the other hand, he has indeed not attacked Viscari.

There is a legitimate reason for the castle. After all, the cost of capturing a castle is not small.

He had previously sent people to Kefalonia Island and finally convinced the local earl, who was also his cousin, Byron Dandolo. He spent a lot of money to pay for the siege equipment, and then he was able to take down the powerful city with thunder.

The outskirts of Fort Wiscari, but now it has become a problem for him how to convince the nobles in front of him to initiate the CCP attack on Fort Wiscari.

"Gentlemen, are you still hesitating now? With just one final blow, the Greek defense in this castle will collapse." There was a hint of anger in Ranieri's words, which had lost his patience.

But in this regard, the other generals did not give in and argued: "It is precisely because of this that a strong attack will only cause the Greeks to resist at all costs. Mr. Dandolo, you already know that our losses are already very serious. If

Without a commensurate price, we can't even explain it to our mother country. Since the other party has run out of ammunition and food, we can avoid this unnecessary loss."

A nobleman stood up and directly opposed Ranieri's request, and several other generals nodded immediately. Although the Dandolo family was powerful, they were also nobles from Querini, Venier, and Grimaldi.

The family status is not weaker than Ranieri's at all. Although they are subordinates, this does not mean that Ranieri can completely ignore their opinions.

This immediately brought the war meeting to a deadlock. Almost everyone believed that it was unwise to storm a castle, which made Ranieri miserable. Of course he understood how serious the loss would be, but he was unwilling to take the risk.

, the Byzantine army in Tripolis had recently defeated the Achaean army that was ten times its own size, which had to make this man fearful.

Finally, Ranieri Dandolo took a deep breath and made a decision. He put away his previous sullenness and looked at his subordinates calmly and almost in a low profile and said:

"I understand your difficulties, but I implore you to help me, and I guarantee with my honor that you will gain the friendship of the Dandolo family, and at the same time, you will be compensated twice for the losses you have lost in this war.

Even on Crete, I can make concessions!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"What?"

"Are you telling the truth, Mr. Ranieri?"

The aristocrats who could not sit still looked at each other and were stunned. Compensation for the losses came second. Ranieri personally guaranteed the friendship of the Dandolo family and also hinted that he could make sacrifices in the distribution of interests on the island of Crete. This is really disappointing.

These nobles were puzzled. This is

It is not something that a mere Duke of Crete like Ranieri can guarantee, but the other party swore on his own honor, which makes people have to believe that this is true. Is it possible that there is really something in this Wiscari Castle?

Are the Dandolos willing to spend their money?

The Venetians were undoubtedly a little moved. Regardless of other things, this battle wiped out all the Greek nobles in Moria and gained the friendship of the Achaean princes. Coupled with the conditions given by Ranieri, this made the people who had been opposed to the attack
