In the dark monastery, Justinian came here again, but he didn't know what the purpose of the Grand Duke Anastasius in this monastery had to come over to him.

There were only a few servants who had been bowing their heads in the dim light walkway. Justinian slowly pushed open the door in front of him, and only saw Grand Duke Anastasius who was tanking an ancient book in front of him raised his head.

"Thank you for your hard work, Justinian!"

The old man nodded casually to Justinian like a kind elder, but Justinian walked up to find a chair without saying a word before sitting down, and said straight to the point:

"Is there anything I have to come here to discuss?"

He did not think that under the current circumstances, this autocratic man who had experienced several emperors was the most powerful and experienced the most storms of the tyranny of Molia, just said these simple and beautiful words. Since he could alarm the old man himself, Justinian believed that something big must have happened.

Seeing Justinian reacting, Anastasius's old face hesitated, but made a choice and spoke slowly:

"It's true that I can't hide it from you, Justinian. Your performance yesterday was indeed heroic. If you hadn't hurt them severely, most of the people in the castle would not have survived today. But do you think the Venetians would really give up so easily?" The old man looked at Justinian with a serious look and asked him to honestly express his expectations.

Justinian became alert immediately. It was obvious that what Grand Duke Anastasius asked him was not that simple. After thinking for a moment, the young man immediately spoke out his guess without any concealment.

"They probably shouldn't be said to make a comeback." Justinian severely damaged the Venetians' fleet. Such a huge loss was like a victorious gambler who suddenly lost most of his chips on the table. Now the Venetians must do only one thing, that is, to make up for the loss at all costs and never give up until they turn around, unless Justinian can make them lose all their money.

But it was not easy. Just last night's fierce battle, Justinian had already estimated that the Venetians had mobilized thousands of troops this time. Although the heavy damage of the Greek fire was damaged, it was not yet enough to hit the opponent to lose its combat effectiveness. That means that the Venetians' revenge will definitely come. And they will definitely not stop until they achieve their goal.

When Justinian answered, Grand Duke Anastasius nodded and said, "Very well, you are right. Although your Greek fire gave the Venetian a beautiful fight back, it also angered them, and the injured lion is undoubtedly more dangerous now than ever. I think you should know this, Justinian."

"Of course I know this, so do you have anything else to say to me?"

"Not long ago, the information sent by the scouts, that the several mountain passes below Fort Wiscarry had been blocked by Venetian villages and the roads to enter and exit were naturally blocked by the sea. Naturally, the world of the Venetian fleet. In other words, the castle is now a veritable lonely city. And you also understand what this means!"

The words of Grand Duke Anastasius immediately made Justinian feel sank. He had expected this. This was the worst situation. His original plan was to defend the city. The Venetians went on a labour expedition, and the supply would not last long. Naturally, they had no choice but to withdraw. However, the Venetians were much smarter than he thought. They blocked the entire castle in turn. After a few days in the Fort Wiscari, Justinian knew that the castle's properties were barren and basically relied on sea fishing and trade, plus the manors at the foot of the mountain to maintain the daily needs of the residents. But now the Venetians did this completely like cutting off the lifeline of the castle. The entire castle defenders and the number of residents were not large. In comparison, they were not as good as the Venetians.

Justinian, who frowned slightly, pondered: "It seems that George's border has really told the Venetians the reality of the entire castle. These guys would rather use this method of killing one thousand enemies and destroying themselves to break through here." Justinian, who saw that the Venetians' intentions, felt it was a bit tricky. The enemy obviously grabbed the life gate of Fort Wiscary. Although the terrain of this castle was dangerous, it now has a fatal weakness due to the collapse of the empire, which is that it is isolated and helpless, so the other party can calmly block them.

However, Grand Duke Anastasius's next words made Justinian's face change even more.

"This is just a common method, and what's more powerful lies in their attack. Not long ago, the Venetians sent someone to send a letter, which stated that as long as we hand over you, they will be willing to retreat and no longer continue to siege Fort Wiscari."

Grand Duke Anastasius changed his emotionally unscrupulous eyes and stared at Justinian. At that moment, Justinian felt like a heavy weight fell on him, making him unable to breathe. He felt that the old man was emitting a strong murderous aura at that moment.

This is really troublesome!

Justinian, who had a breath of air conditioning, subconsciously swept his eyes around him, and only needed to ambush the killer here. Grand Duke Anastasius gave his order enough to make him die without a place to bury himself.

Although Justinian had said before that he did not think Anastasius would be unfavorable to him, who would really entrust his life to a stranger? For a moment, he regretted not letting Arslan follow him.

In this case, if the other party attacks, he can only try to hold the old man in front of him. Justinian's brain rotates rapidly and thinks about ways to deal with it.

But Anastasius's next words suddenly stunned him.

"Don't worry, Justinian, there are no ones who are lying here. Although many nobles, including me, considered compromise with the Venetians when I received this letter, I finally rejected their ultimatum." Anastasius told Justinian calmly, and the previous suppression of Justinian was immediately wiped out.

"So why?" Justinian was still vigilantly looking at the autocratic man in front of him. At that moment just now, he finally realized the terror of the old monster who had experienced several generations of dynasties. The deep shadow almost felt like he wanted to swallow people.
