"Still can't get in? This is different from what you promised before, Leos Grace!" In the military tent, Count Conil looked at the man in front of him coldly and said. As a follower of this man, now he

But he completely lost his usual hesitation, and his eyes were full of displeasure.

Although the city of Tripolis had completely fallen under their control, the few nobles who supported Justinian were stubbornly resisting in the monastery on the hill. What made Count Conil even more dissatisfied was that no matter what he did,

The autocratic Anastasius was also a key figure in Princess Eudosia and her daughter. None of them controlled them, and the person who performed this task was Leosgros. Without them, even if they controlled

What can they use in this Tripolis to call for the overthrow of Justinian!

Faced with such questioning, Duke Leo also looked livid. In the rush of things, he never thought that Eudocia and her daughter happened to be not in the city but in the monastery on the mountain outside the city. What was even more unexpected was that

It is the solidity of the defense of the monastery outside the city. An ancient monastery that looks inconspicuous has become the last barrier for the nobles in Tripolis who support Justinian. Starting from last night, they have stormed

Several times, it ended in failure, which doubled the pressure on Leosgros.

After a long silence, the man finally answered slowly: "This is indeed my miscalculation before, but fortunately, neither Anastasius nor Eudocia can escape from here in the monastery.

Even if they can’t capture this monastery for a while, it’s only a matter of time before they are breached without supplies.”

"But what we lack now is time. Justinian and his 3,000 well-trained new troops are still in the south! Once he knows what is happening here and rushes over, what will happen to you and me?

Bear the wrath of the Fox of Moria!" Conil stood up suddenly and said, now they only have their own private army of just over 2,000 people. If they can't hold Archduke Anastasius hostage,

Controlling the elite Duke Guard, what will they use to deal with Justinian? Conil's words not only represent him, but also other Moria nobles who participated in the rebellion. They do not want to pay compensation.

Their own wealth and lives were at stake. If Justinian hadn't been so aggressive and threatened to uproot their foundations, they wouldn't have had to take the risk. But the current impasse has caused many people to back down, and even more to Leos.

The abilities of Gross, the "traitorous duke", were questioned.

Faced with such accusations, Leosgros, who understood in his heart, did not waver, but said firmly: "You don't have to worry about this, I can guarantee that even if Justinian now knows what happened here

He was already too late to catch up with everything. Don’t you think that we can’t capture even a small monastery with our strength?”

After Duke Leo said these words, the atmosphere relaxed slightly for a while. Indeed, it would take a lot of time for Justinian to know what happened here, enough for them to capture a small monastery.

.

But Conil snorted coldly, "I hope so. You must know that the Venetians in Fort Viscari thought so too..." As soon as this understatement was uttered, the expressions of other nobles around him changed.

It all looked ugly. However, at this time, Count Conil did not mean to sing the opposite, but he really felt uneasy in his heart. It has been proved time and time again that the performance of the young man named Justinian always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Unexpected.

…

…

…

At the same time, in the monastery, the last resistance forces gathered here. Although they were temporarily safe, the situation was not optimistic at all. Except for the firm support of Alexia of the Papadoros family, some other nobles

The attitude is somewhat ambiguous. Even the Papadoros family, which has a blood feud with Leosgros, is now facing a huge crisis. There are discordant voices. If Grand Duke Anastasius hadn't personally stepped forward to suppress it,

If so, the situation would have already gotten out of control.

But there is really no way to continue to be trapped here. If this continues, Justinian, who is far away in the south, will not be able to come to the rescue for a while. It is only a matter of time before this monastery is breached. Nevsky and Nevsky, who are in charge of the overall situation

Leo's garrison commander was also feeling a lot of pressure at this moment, and the power he could muster was really limited. If this continued, no matter how strong the monastery was, they would not be able to withstand the casualties.

"What's the situation we have now?" Nevsky asked with a livid expression as soon as he entered the door.

In front of the desk, Chief Leo frowned and said: "The road to Argos City has been cut off by them. It is basically unrealistic to expect the defenders there." When encountering a rebellion,

The first thing they thought of was not the new Morian army led by Justinian in the far south, but the two companies of the Agrinion Legion stationed in the city of Argos.

But obviously - their opponents are also aware of this. The pass leading there has been completely sealed. By the time the people of Argos City find out that something is wrong, they may have already been defeated.

"Tsk - is that really true?! How careless, I didn't expect these guys to jump over the wall in such a hurry." Nevsky gritted his teeth and said, he really didn't expect that the nobles of Moria actually chose to take risks, although he had guessed that

The opponent will make small moves, but they are completely unprepared for a sudden rebellion. If it weren't for the monastery they had criticized before for building outside the city, they would have been killed by the enemy.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's just wait for reinforcements. Their targets are Grand Duke Anastasius and Princess Eudosia. They don't know how to use large siege equipment, and they won't be able to attack them for a while." Nevsky pondered.

Said, after thinking for a long time, he could only choose this.

"Stand still and wait for reinforcements... But even if Lord Justinian comes here from the south now, he won't be able to make it in time!" Chief Leo couldn't help but said with some frustration. He had never been so desperate before.

Nevsky looked up at the mosaic murals on the monastery, shook his head and said helplessly: "We can only take one step at a time. The messenger has already sneaked out of the city and rushed to the south, where the rebels should not dare to pursue.
