Chapter 42: Conspiracy
"I'm just doing it for the family." Looking at the man in front of her coldly, Mrs. Agnes said coldly. As the mistress of Papadopoulos, she knew very well that the family she belonged to was a member of the Moria Middle School.
She has a famous family, but no matter how capable she is as a woman and how outstanding she is in raising her daughter, she is still just a piece of fat in the eyes of the wolves.
Even without the invasion of the Latins, the decline of the Papadopoulos family would only be a matter of time. Therefore, Mrs. Agnes chose to cooperate with the Laskaris family.
She had nothing to lose, so this woman chose to make a desperate move, but now that the man in front of her knew about her private deal with George Borderer, Agnes could only resign herself to her fate.
However, Leosgros smiled with a relaxed expression: "Why are you so nervous, Mrs. Agnes, I have no ill intentions. As I said before, since we have a common enemy, we can completely abandon our past grudges.
"
Hearing such an answer and looking around, the originally nervous woman finally felt relieved. Agnes saw that the Duke Leo in front of her didn't seem to be as loyal to Moria as he seemed on the surface.
Obviously, under the pressure of the Venetian army, Leosgros finally had to choose to surrender to the Laskaris family.
"What a surprise to me, Your Excellency the Duke." Agnes said softly, with a slight sarcasm in her words, because it was precisely because this man encouraged other nobles to break with Nicaea and fall to Justinian that led to George
The Border Count attracted revenge from the Venetians, but now Duke Leo turned his back and wanted to make a compromise to deal with Justinian together.
The respect she had for this man before was now gone. Agnes's face did not hide the contemptuous sneer, but Leosgros looked at it and didn't seem to take it to heart.
"There is no big surprise. Just like you Agnes, I am just seeking the interests of the nobles throughout Moria. The chips offered by Laskaris before were not enough, but now we have no choice."
Osgros's performance was very surprising. He lowered his posture so surprisingly that Mrs. Agnes in front of him didn't know how to respond.
"The whole territory of Moria is really a high-sounding reason! Tell me, what can you do? His Majesty Laskaris has exhausted his patience in the past few months. If Duke Leo still wants to engage in the kind of leadership he did before,
I'm afraid I can't help you either." Although she was disdainful, Mrs. Agnes still agreed to the other party's conditions for the time being. After all, her previous mission as an internal agent undoubtedly failed, and now she must make up for it.
It's possible, so it's not impossible to cooperate with Leosgross.
Seeing that Mrs. Agnes's attitude had softened, Leosgros was finally convinced that it was possible for him to continue negotiations with Nicaea. Then he replied: "I have stopped Justinian from leaving Huesca.
But if they want to expect the exhausted Viscari Fort to hand over Justinian, the Venetians will inevitably pay huge losses, and it will be hard to say if they can really let us go by then.
Already."
As soon as these words came out, Countess Agnes's face changed slightly. This was exactly what she was worried about. She was just a pawn of Nicea. If the other party really wanted to give up, she could do so at any time.
The woman with a stern look looked at each other, but Leosgros looked like he knew everything. She asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Assassinate him on the spot and get Justinian's head. The Venetians have achieved their goal and are naturally unlikely to be willing to suffer more losses. Moreover, accidents have been avoided. If Justinian's men really succeed
If we arrive at Tripolis and invite reinforcements, there is a high chance that things will go wrong." Duke Leo, who was already convinced that Justinian turned to cooperate with Anastasius, showed a fierce face, determined to abandon what he had thought before.
Justinian, who has rare things to live in but cannot control.
The man's fierce determination made Mrs. Agnes feel terrified. There was no doubt that there was no hesitation in what she just said.
However, Agnes has her own worries, "It's just that if this is the case, I'm afraid the consequences will not end. And since he is so careful in defense now, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to succeed."
But Leosgros had already made his own preparations, and said with a slight sneer: "You can rest assured on this, I have already made preparations, and this is why I chose to cooperate with you. After all,
Killers as good as the Assassins are not that easy to find."
Seeing Duke Leo's confident look, Lady Agnes had no choice but to nod and agree to assist him. Now she had no choice. The other party already knew that she was Moria's betrayer, and now Wiscari Castle has been under attack for a long time.
Otherwise, she can only choose to cooperate with the other party.
In the empty hall, men and women were making ulterior plots, and at the same time, the wind was rising on the walls of Fort Wiscari.
…
Looking down from the city wall, you can see Venetian camps emitting smoke, and halfway up the mountain is the outpost of the Byzantine army. Since that is the water source for the whole city, in order to prevent the enemy from occupying it, the water supply will be cut off or polluted.
The Byzantines had to divide their troops to guard the water source, which undoubtedly increased the pressure on defense. Although the terrain of Fort Viscari was very dangerous, the number of troops defending the city was too few.
This has become the fatal weakness of Fort Wiscari - it is difficult to accept a long siege, and the residents in the city cannot last long. Justinian, who was looking down, also looked solemn, obviously
The Venetians did get help from internal agents. They knew every exit at the foot of the mountain. The deer camp set up to resist the horses was enough to resist any cavalry who wanted to break out of the encirclement. Once they were blocked for a moment, the surrounding Venetian soldiers would kill them.
Tear into pieces.
I have to say that the person who came up with this method is really vicious. The castle located at the Cape of Tainaron is very far away from the southernmost city of Mesoni controlled by Justinian. The Venetians have almost no worries about surrounding them.
At this moment, a staggering old man walked slowly to the top of the wall with the help of his attendants and a cane.
"So you are here, Mr. Justinian." Although Archduke Anastasius is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, he is still very energetic. He climbed to such a high wall without any difficulty. And he had finished before
