Justinian realized that he was too careless. Since he was brought here by the Ark of the Covenant from the future, he was too confident, and he forgot that there were too many things that could not be predicted and controlled in this world.

For example, the fragments of the Ark of the covenant are an incredible existence, but Justinian travels over and means that he can no longer think about things according to normal people. In fact, Justinian has already had speculations. The rumors that the Bulgarians had gained independence by relying on Sofia's Iron Crown may not be rumors. Especially today he met Anastasius.

According to Justinian's knowledge, 104 years later, the Crusaders established several countries on the broken Byzantium, but in fact, it took more than ten years to form a situation of many powerful crisscrossing in the future. For example, the establishment of the Achaia vassal state, which was not until several years later, and the Principality of Thebes was established on the Greek Peninsula. However, when Justinian brought Epirus' army into Molia, he gradually found something wrong, that is, the expansion of the Achaia vassal state's power completely exceeded his imagination. Some history seemed to be a little distorted, completely beyond Justinian's mastery. For example, Leosgros, the original plane said.

, He should still hold on in Corinth, until he persisted until he died in the Acropolis in 108. But even so, Corinth was not completely settled until 110 years ago and became the fiefdom of Gottfrey Wireja. But now, the main cities of Peloponnese are completely in the hands of the vassal state of Achaia, and the nobles of Moria fled to Fort Wiscari. At first, Justinian only felt that perhaps it was because of his slightly changed the timeline, but when he interrogated Nichifruz, Justinian found something wrong. Moria gave up most cities to escape from everything the Latins chased, and there was a shadow of a man behind the scenes.

This unknown autocratic man Anastasius, who seemed to have predicted something, repaired the city walls in Fort Wiscar very early, which made Justinianzi feel suspicious. The moment Justinian saw the old man at the banquet, he realized that his guess was correct. The tingling feeling conveyed by the locket on his neck was exactly the same as when he saw the Iron Crown of Sophia. Unfortunately, the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant were sleeping at this time, and Justinian could not ask and verify it, but judging from the many signs, these Ark of the Covenant should have their own supernatural features.

It was not good now. Justinian came here almost alone. Anastasius's existence was undoubtedly like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. However, he had not seen Muzfius's wife and daughter yet. The purpose of his trip was to take this opportunity to take them away from here. Now Justinian's situation became dilemma.

...

The confused Nickifrus listened to the quietness around him without any sound. He plucked up his courage and finally took off the hood on his head. He opened his eyes but saw that he was in a dark alley in Fort Wiscar. Unexpectedly, the other party let him go and he escaped. Nickifrus was almost fortunate to cry. When Nickifrus was tied to the woodshed, he was taken away by the Turks and almost thought that Justinian had decided to kill him and silence him.

But he was let go so easily by the other party. Nickifrus still felt that this was like a dream. The clever nobleman immediately understood the reason why Justinian did this. After all, killing a noble would cause a lot of trouble. Justinian let him go without leaving any trace, and there would be no handle. As for him, a little nobleman, naturally, he would not be stupid enough to understand what Justinian meant. The best solution is to shut up and swallow the loss as if nothing had happened.

After all, he said a lot of things that shouldn't be said under Justinian's torture. If things get bigger, it will be very unfavorable to Nicky Fruce.

Making up his mind, Nicky Fruce decided to rot what happened today into his stomach, as if nothing had happened. However, at this moment, the sound of the carriage passing attracted his attention.

Nickifrus, who walked out of the alley, saw the carriage heading towards the castle water gate, which was the exit from Fort Wiscarry to the sea. How could anyone go there so late? And as the lord of Fort Wiscarry, Nickifrus knew that there was a very strict defense. After all, the daily life resources of Wiscarry need to be transported there, and more importantly, it was the only weakness of this castle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so even he could not get close to it casually.

I couldn't help but be curious, and the carriage was driving very slowly, so the man immediately followed.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, Nickifrus saw the soldiers guarding the Water Gate from afar blocking the way for the carriage. Sure enough, this kind of place is not something that anyone can approach.

Seeing this, Nicky Fruth immediately found a small corner and hid in secret to observe, wanting to see who was inside the carriage.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The fully armed Byzantine soldiers held shields and spears to guard the road and prevent the carriage from moving forward. There were guards holding crossbows on both sides aimed at the people on the carriage. Once the other party dared to act rashly, they would attack without hesitation.

At this moment, the door of the carriage was slowly opened, and the soldiers also saw the appearance of the people in the carriage, including Nickifrus. Everyone was surprised that the man who appeared here was either someone else or George's border. As an envoy of Nicea, his identity was very noble. The Byzantine soldiers who did not dare to neglect subconsciously lowered the weapons in their hands.

"Sir, how could you be here?"

It was so late that the guard captain was really surprised to see this man here.

George Border Bo glanced at the soldiers lightly and nodded, "Well, you are very good. After all, this is the key to this castle, and you have taken responsibility as a guard." The man's tone was a little appreciated, which made the guard captain feel a little complacent. Obviously, the count should have come to inspect their work.

However, Earl George's next sentence was completely beyond his expectations.

"It's a pity, sometimes, being too responsible means you have to take your life in it."

What?! The guard captain who heard this sentence had not yet come back to his taste. The world in front of him suddenly turned blood red. The guard captain was stunned, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but failed to make any sound. The blood surging in his throat made him speechless.

All this happened too quickly, but Nickifrus, who was observing, saw the scene clearly. A black shadow fell from the low house, passing by the Byzantine captain like an agile cat. The sharp short knife in his hand directly cut the target's throat, bursting out a large piece of blood, covering the garrison captain's face and eyes.

It was an attack, an attack! Seeing the captain's blood gushing out, the soldiers realized that the Count George was going to attack Water Gate. No matter what his purpose was, the soldiers did not sit and wait for death. However, it was too late. More black shadows fell and interlaced and cut the throats of the unprepared soldiers with short swords. The Byzantine guards were too careless, and they subconsciously did not regard George's border as a threat, so they lowered their weapons, let the crossbow arrows loosened the trigger, and the bows loosened the bowstrings, so that they could not have time to counterattack and easily resolved in an instant. All this happened too quickly - Nickifrus looked at this scene and was cold all over.
