Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Your Excellency Leo, how long do we have to wait? It's been two days, why are you still standing still!" The Moria nobles, who were finally unable to restrain themselves, found Leosgros and questioned them early in the morning. Since the previous strong attack ended, they have maintained the siege of the monastery on the mountain and never launched any active offensive. This abnormal behavior made these nobles anxious. You know, they still have Justinian's confidant worry behind them, every minute and every second of time is very precious, how can you tolerate such a waste of time.

However, the man in front of him still sat at the table and did not lift his head up, still calm as usual.

"Didn't you complain to me that the casualties were too heavy?" Leosgros sneered slightly.

"Even so, it doesn't make you do nothing here. Don't forget, if we fail, Justinian will definitely not let you go without the protection of Her Royal Highness Eudosia." Conil The earl almost gritted his teeth and said that they have gambled on everything this time, even cooperating with the traitor Leos Gross and even the Venetian, vowing to completely remove Justinian from Moriah. , They simply cannot afford the price of failure. Especially when thinking of the possible revenge of the little fox, even Conil, who prides himself on a noble background, couldn't help shuddering.

When he heard the other party mention Odosia, Liosgros's face suddenly became gloomy. It can be said that his exile by Justinian was the greatest shame in his life. Although in fact this man could escape death entirely thanks to Odosia's plea to Justinian, but this did not prevent Leosgros's resentment against him at all.

At this moment, Leosgros' eyes filled with hatred, and when Earl Conil was touched inadvertently, he stepped back two steps in a panic, and he quickly closed his mouth, knowing that what he had just touched the restricted area.

But the chill that radiated from Leosgros's body was fleeting, and then he returned to his original look, and slowly got up and said: "What is the hurry, I have already said that I have my own plan before, so why bother? Then the wind is rustling."

Just as soon as the man's voice fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the military account.

"Duke... Lord Duke!"

"What's the matter, such a panic?" Looking at the soldiers who couldn't catch his breath, Conil couldn't help but asked nervously, for fear that Justinian led the army back from the south.

But the news he heard below made his jaw fall in shock.

"The white flag is raised on the mountain, and the Papadolos family has opened the way to the barrier on the mountain... Announced surrender!" Stuttered with excitement, the soldier couldn't believe this fact and besieged this strong monastery. They had paid a lot of casualties for several days, but they didn't expect the other party to be able to support them earlier than them, which made everyone's original heart can finally let go.

However, for all this, Leosgros’s face didn’t seem to be surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and nodded. He turned to look at the Moria nobleman who was still in shock and said indifferently: The fierce battle has made you feel distressed for a long time, but they are also the same. I have already said that my purpose has been achieved. Even if the strong fortress is loose, it is not enough to worry, it is better to wait for it instead of attacking it from the outside. I fell apart by myself."

...

...

...

On the mountain, the deer villages and trenches that had prevented the attack from time to time have been razed, and the huge barrier gate of the last line of defense of the monastery was also suddenly opened, and the arrogant rebels were finally able to file into this place that had broken them many times. In the monastery. And what came to the face was the smoke and blood of the night, even though it was washed over and over with clean water, how could the breath of killing be easily concealed.

Although the betrayers used tricks to make the rebels headless and fight separately, those who were still loyal to Justinian fought to the last moment, especially those Italian mercenaries who followed Justinian from Ilovan Castle. , Relying on well-trained personal qualities abruptly gave the insurgents a huge kill, making the Papadolos family feel hurt.

At this time, I saw Leosgros slowly entering the monastery on a war horse with a haughty expression, condescendingly accepting the surrender of the vassals of the Papadolos family. All this is in his grasp. Since the early death of the previous generation of earls, the vassals in charge of the entire Papadolos family are basically some off-line relatives, who can only rely on the support of the orphans and widows of Agnes. There is actually no internal loyalty that only depends on Alexia's lineage. He had set this point when he was besieging the monastery from the very beginning. All he had to do was to speed up the process with the threat of death. However, this success is also due to the woman in front of a chess piece he planted many years ago.

"You did a good job, Zoe!" said in a familiar tone, as if Leosgros and Qi had already known each other.

With a respectful look, Zoe also leaned over to salute, "Fortunately not insulting my life, Lord Duke." In fact, she has been inserted into the Papadolos family by Leos Grossan as a dark game for many years. It was ~www.ltnovel.com~ and it was only then that it showed its power and gave the final blow. Knowing all this, both the inside of the Papadolos family and the other Moria nobles who followed behind felt deeply shocked. They didn't know how many hidden hands this man had, and they shuddered just thinking about it.

Seeing all this, Leosgros also nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly the man remembered what Papadoulos’s retainers bowed down and asked: “By the way, where are the people under Justinian?”

"Because the Italians and the Varangians are still fighting against the beasts, they have been suppressed." A Papadolos family vassal headed by the head quickly replied, thinking that everything would be fine if Nevsky and Leo were taken down. In order to deal with the group of lunatics who did not surrender, they really paid a lot of price.

However, he thought he could take credit for this, but he was greeted by Leosgros who was riding on the horse.

"Extremely stupid!" The man whose face immediately cooled down looked at these Papaderos' retainers with disgust. After all, they were rotten to the roots and would do such stupid things, not to mention Varangi. The value of human beings, killing them all completely made them not only have to face the violent anger of the little fox, but also had one less hole card to deal with Justinian. It's really not enough to succeed, and more than failing.

However, Zoe's next words changed the complacent Duke Leosgros's color.

"Just one more thing, Lord Leo, we searched the entire monastery and blocked all the outlets, but we couldn't find Princess Odosia."
