Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 21: Martial Law (Part 1)

Ranieri did hesitate, but the vatican’s excommunication order was in his throat. Because the Venetians used the Crusade to ransack Zara, Pope Innocent expelled everyone who participated in the crusade out of his anger, even The entire Venice was condemned, and everyone was panicked at the time. But after the Crusaders' victory over Constantinople became a fait accompli, the attitude of the Holy See became ambiguous. In particular, it gave a heavy blow to the Byzantine Empire, which the Holy See disliked very much, and the Pope Innocent then forgiven the entire crusaders for their guilt. However, until now, Ranieri’s father, Enrique Dandoro, has not regained his membership. This is disastrous for any Christian, which means that the soul cannot be redeemed after death. Fall into the abyss of hell.

Originally, as the consul of the Republic of Venice, Dandoro could get the help of his home country and ask for forgiveness from Pope Innocent. However, due to political opponents, Ranieri's father can only live in a foreign land.

Therefore, as the governor of Crete, Ranieri chose to cooperate with the Byzantines in front of him. Although Constantinople was breached under the use of the Venetians, and the Byzantines have since formed a bridge with the Byzantines, the Venetians have always pursued the supremacy of interests. Even Enrique Dandorro’s purpose in dealing with the Byzantine Empire is to control The trade route of the east is not revenge for the persecution of the Venetians in Constantinople. Therefore, after the fall of Constantinople, in order to prevent the Latin Empire occupying Constantinople from expanding, they have been cooperating with Nicaea to provide them with the movement of Henry of Flanders. As for the nobles of the Byzantine Empire, they are naturally pragmatic. This time the Lascaris family is ready to use the power of the Venetians to destroy the disobedient Moria nobles.

"Is the commander of the Epirus army that attacked Achaia really in Fort Wiscari?" Looking at the man next to him, Ranieri wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news. The news of Achaia’s fiasco on the Alfios River was only learned not long ago in Crete. Ranieri realized the value of this. If he succeeded in catching him or killing him, it would mean The Epirus army in the Peloponnese will have the dragons without a leader, which will undoubtedly gain the friendship of Achaia.

If such a result can be achieved, it may be possible in exchange for the Republic to request the Holy See for the father to lift the excommunication.

But the premise of everything is that what George Frontier said is true. He had been to Fort Wiscari many years ago. Although it was very deserted, the terrain was very dangerous, so this time Ranieri took Kerry. More than half of the defensive power of the island, if it rushes for nothing, the pressure of the mother state of Venice can be imagined.

Faced with Ranieri’s question, George Frontier sneered and unceremoniously said: "Believe it or not, I’m only responsible for providing the information, Your Excellency Ranieri. But if you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for a lifetime. of."

Seeing the other side's so frivolous expression, Ranieri was also very displeased, but he couldn't refute it, and there was a real opportunity. If the power of the Greeks participating in the Peloponnese can be eliminated, it would also be beneficial to Venice for the safety of their various trade routes. The resistance of the Greeks on the island of Crete has already made him burnt, and if the Peloponnese is really regained by the Greeks, it will also be a great danger to his territory.

"Of course I know this. At the current speed, we can reach Fort Wiscari in only one day at most, but are you really sure that your people will come to pick you up?" Ranieri asked .

"You can rest assured of this. My people are lurking in Fort Wiscari, and the Morians haven't noticed it. At that time, the inside and the outside should be combined and the city can be easily captured." Living in Wiscari for so long , George knew everything about Moriah. He knew where was the most important place and where was the weak point. He himself also wanted to win over Moria’s nobles and surrender for the Lascaris family, but those nobles were so greedy. Not only were they rude to him, but they also had illusions about Epirus, from the Alfios River. After the news of the terrible defeat of the Latins in the Battle, he was already certain that the Moria nobles would not fall to Nicaea's side. In this case, let them disappear in a "righteous" manner. It would be a good result to die in the hands of the Venetians. It can eliminate this hidden danger, and it can also be used as a tool for the same enemies in the Byzantine Empire. Those greedy and mediocre guys died well enough. Thinking of this, there was a cruel sharpness in the eyes of the man in front of him.

What George Frontier didn’t know was that although the Assassin Assassin was aware of it that night, Nikiphorus, who had witnessed everything in Arslan, the Turkic, escaped. His intentions have been taken in Weiss. Justinian and Anastasius of Fort Cary noticed.

...

"what on earth is it?"

The nobles of Fort Wiscari were surprised to see that the entire castle had entered a state of complete martial law at this moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they were surprised, and none of them had issued such an order. Armed Byzantine soldiers blocked every exit and sent people to search houses from house to house, picking up suspicious populations, and even the houses of some inferior nobles were also searched, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

"You are presumptuous, I am a member of the Cucuas family, you have no right to search my residence!" A young nobleman angered the soldiers' unreasonable demands. Cucuas once came out of Constantinople. The Patriarch was also a prominent nobleman. Although they fell into trouble because of the turmoil in the political situation, they still maintained that pride.

However, the Byzantine soldiers in front of them did not pay attention to it at all. They were all the personal guards of the Grand Duke Anastasius, and they only obeyed the orders. Moreover, the mere Cucuas may not really have their eyes in.

"In fact, we have this power, Your Excellency Kukuas. Grand Duke Anastasius has issued an order to enter the full martial law in Wiscari Fort and search for people in the city. If you have any questions, you can ask the Grand Duke. Your Excellency. But if you continue to be uncooperative, then I will treat your behavior as a fight against the empire. We have the right to destroy the enemies of the empire." The Byzantine officer in front of him stared at the young nobleman coldly. He said that the murderous aura radiating from them immediately suffocated the young man. He never expected that these normally obedient soldiers would dare to threaten him so publicly. But as the frightened and angry Kukuas looked down on the swords in the hands of the soldiers, he flinched, because he knew what these lunatics were saying was definitely not a joke.

It's just that he didn't understand why the highly respected Grand Duke Anastasius would order his men to do such a move!
