Chapter 76 Not over yet
After a war, Genoa's fleet was still anchored on the sea, neither docking on the shore nor leaving directly. The rain kept falling, wetting the deck. However, at this time, the seafarers of Genoa found the side of Fort Wiscari, and a small boat slowly approached them.
The crew immediately asked their captain, but Bantik, who learned about this, said nothing, and immediately allowed his subordinates to approach the other person's boat and borrowed the people on the boat.
As Bantic had expected before, the visitor was Justinian. As agreed, he did not bring any followers to the deck alone. He had asked Neuski to notify Justinian that he had something to negotiate with him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not have evidence to prove that Genoa was involved in this battle, so Bantic asked Justinian to come alone, and Justinian also kept his promise.
"Long time no see, Justinian! But now I have to call you the Governor." Seeing Justinian arrive, Bantic walked up to greet him with a smile. Those who didn't know still felt like an old friend who had not seen him for many years when they looked at this scene.
Justinian shrugged and said half-jokingly: "You are well-informed, but just a false title that is not worthy of your name. Have you seen any governor who was almost killed by the enemy on his territory?" The Molia Military Region itself is a very small administrative area, not to mention that two-thirds of the places are still under the control of the Achaia vassal state. The so-called governor of Molia is in name only. Look at the attitude of the exiled nobles in Fort Wiscari. Theodor of Agrignon just used himself as a pawn that can be abandoned at any time. As for the position of this governor, it will be easy to deprive him of it. Without the foundation of the noble, the strength he truly possesses now is really not worth mentioning.
But Bantik didn't think so, and smiled and said, "As a Genoese, you will know everything that happened in the Mediterranean with a little inquiry, let alone you have to turn upside down in Molia now. Why should you belittle yourself?"
"But if you hadn't helped you in time, you might have fallen into the hands of the Venetians this time. Is it really okay to do this?" Justinian put away his previous smile and looked at the man in front of him seriously. The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Bantic immediately understood Justinian's implication and signaled the people around him to retreat.
"Of course there is a problem. If the Venetians grasp any powerful evidence, it may be a reason for the war. Then I will be in trouble first before the two countries are bloody. But who told you... there is that Dorian gold coin! You can't let you die here so unknown." Bantik complained angrily. He was originally doing well in Aka City, but now he has to take such a big risk because Justinian, so he naturally has no good face to him.
But he had no choice but to do anything about it. With his own status, his current wealth and life are not something that the adult can decide in just one word.
From the other party's words, Justinian immediately understood what the other party said was indeed as they had previously guessed that Bantik's help was not the will of the entire Genoa. The only explanation was that the Doria family behind it had such great authority, allowing Bantik to mobilize a fleet to help him rescue him.
"Then it seems that I really have to thank Andrey." Justinian murmured at the other party, who had roughly figured out the situation, but his expression still showed a meditative look, as if he was thinking about something.
But this made Bantik look strange on his face, but then he returned to normal. The man shrugged and said, "After that being said, this time I won't help you for nothing. I have the conditions to help you solve the situation this time, at least I can go back and hand in the work."
Justinian, who took this scene, naturally had prepared for it. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world and that he owed the other party so much favor. Now even if it was a difficult request, he could not refuse it.
...
...
...
Just as Justinian headed to the Genoese boat, on the other side, looking at the devastated Fort Wiscarri, opposite the dilapidated city was the sudden life-threatening of the people. But unlike the rest of the city who were glad that they had repelled the Venetians, the Duke of Leosgros and Countess Agnes at this time had a solemn look on his face. Sitting in the attic from the balcony, watching the crowds marching down below, sing and laughing, they were quarreled at this moment. As betrayers, they were full of uneasiness. They never expected that at the last moment, Justinian could turn the tables.
"How could this happen... The Venetians actually defeated so ugly..." Mrs. Agnes's voice was full of fear. Although her identity was not revealed, as a betrayer, she was afraid of being liquidated. The scene she least wanted to happen still happened.
"Yes, who could have thought of it?" Duke Leo said indifferently.
The same is true for the cunning Duke Leo. Even if he is like him, he has no idea that the result of the matter will become like this. In his original plan, he was to take the opportunity to attack and seize power after Justinian was defeated, forcing Anastasius to make concessions and discuss surrendering with the Venetians to surrender and hand over Justinian, and then he retreated with the Moria nobles as a stepping stone to surrender to the Lascaris family. However, his plan was completely disrupted by the reversal of the ending. Not only that, his previous actions have aroused the suspicion of the Grand Duke Anastasius, and now he is probably unable to protect himself. Just as the man of Chameleon has always used all means to maximize his own interests and is willing to do anything to do, but now he is afraid that he will not even have a place to stand.
Looking at Leosgros, the anxious Countess Agnes still held a trace of fantasy and asked, "What should we do now?" Agnes, who has always known the other party's wisdom, could only count on the man in front of him. Once the matter was revealed, even the family she had worked hard to support would collapse in an instant. This is something this woman would never allow. She exhausted her youth and supported it. Agnes would never want to admit defeat. But in fact, she already knew in her heart that Anastasius was afraid that they could not hide it.
