In 1208, the Arcanani rebellion, which lasted for several months, was finally coming to an end. When the news of the defeat of the Epirus army in the north reached the ears of the Thesalian nobles, the princes suddenly realized that Justinian had never been with them. The so-called guard of honor was just a fool. No one expected that Molia's little fox actually led an army of only a few thousand people to trek across the mountains and rivers and defeated the army of tens of thousands of people in Mikhail Ducas at the Pindus Pass!

"Have you ever heard that His Highness Justinian defeated the Rusny in the north."

"What? But that lord has been with His Highness Irina in the military camp tent all the time."

"Shh! Have you not noticed any abnormality? His Highness Justinian has never appeared before, and all the orders were conveyed by Hendriel. In fact, I heard from the nobles of the big families that His Highness Justinian actually led a surprise army to fight lightly since the beginning of Larissa's war, in order to cover up the eyes and paralyze the rebels, and then he successfully fought at the Pindus Pass."

"It is worthy of being Molia's little fox. This is not just a fox, it is really the lion of my empire."

Such amazing news soon reached the barracks, and people were amazed at the military power of Justinian. Thessalis had heard the rumors of Peloponnese before, but they heard it as false. But this time, the facts before them forced them to respect Justinian himself. Perhaps the upper nobles would point fingers at Justinian's unknown origin, but the others of Thessalis had already provoked their bodies.

First, in Larissa, he wiped out the rebels of the Gavris family in one fell swoop, and then deployed a large siege against the Agrignon rebels. Bunonius and Count Tanbet defeated the Cumen who were trying to attack in the first place. Two gallans under Justinian, Salius and Forcas, successfully ambushed the Venetians who were trying to land in the Long Neck Bay, and forced them to merge with the Agrignon rebels. Now, it is heard that the army of tens of thousands of people sent by the tyrant Mikhail Ducas was also by Justin.

Nesha's scattered his armor. The attitudes of the Thesalis toward this young ruler have completely changed. The rumors about Justinian in the army that were originally floating in their hearts were completely gone. More of them were worshipful. Like the Peloponnese, the Thesalis, with the great decline of the south for a long time, the power of the empire was controlled by the prominent nobles in Macedonia and Thrace. There were rumors in the army that the Roman Empire would usher in an emperor from Greece.

Compared to the excitement of the lower class, the princes of Thessaly seemed to be dull. Although they learned that the tens of thousands of troops sent by Mikhail Dukas were defeated and they had no greatest threat, this also means that they had no bargaining power in front of Justinian.

Nowadays, in the entire Arcanani, only the city of Agrignon in front of him is the last battlefield.

Hendriel looked at Sulli from the count of the military district to Viscount Argonto Prai, and was waiting for their reaction. After a long time, the man finally spoke:

"Everyone, the two counts of Bunonius and Taranit on the southern line have already joined forces with Faucas, and the Knights led by Zalius have joined forces to block the port on the south bank of Agrenion. The Genoese merchants who were also trying to deliver food weapons to the rebels were also expelled. Now I think you should have no objection to launching the general attack, right?"

"Well, Secretary-General, the city of Agrenion is strong after all, and there are many rebels in the city. The strong attack may be detrimental to our army. What's more, the people in the city may be affected by the war." Several old nobles stood up and fought as usual, haha, but this time the situation was completely different.

The rejected Secretary-General Hendriel was not impatient, but said lightly: "I believe you should have learned the rumors today, right? That's not groundless. Lord Justinian couldn't help but defeat the Epirus and killed the enemy commander, Nicholas Ovania."

"That is Mikhail's illegitimate son." The nobles whispered, shocked. They all knew the name of Nicholas Ofania. They were the most beloved illegitimate son of Emperor Mikhail. They did not expect to die at the hands of Justinian.

Looking at the many nobles, Hendriel looked at the other party's reaction coldly. It was at this time that these guys were still looking for excuses to refuse. The army that had already arrived in Agrenion for half a month to complete the siege of the city, and the noble army that had been arguing with each other had been unwilling to force the siege of the city, and the interfaces provided should be cleared out from the periphery in advance. But Hendriel knew that the other party was just unwilling to suffer losses. Since Prince Theodor's death, the semi-independent nobles regarded the army as private property. What can be trusted is nothing more than the two of Taranit and Count Bonnius. The others had their own ulterior motives, and more importantly, there was more or less the influence of the Earl Merinos behind these people. Although he was left behind, Hendriel believed that his hostility towards Justinian would inevitably interfere.

But now it's different. The calm secretary-general no longer needs to urge the nobles to march as quickly as before.

He reminded the nobles of Salley, saying, "When Prince Theodor ordered me to go to Molia for inspection, I had seen Lord Justinian give land to the soldiers who were rewarded, whether they were civilians or nobles, and those traitors who were in love with the Latins, their fiefs were deprived of unreservedness. Perhaps you still have prejudice, but don't forget the attitude of His Highness Irina. Although His Highness Theodor is gone, you still have this loyal partner. If His Highness Irina really marry Justinian, he will really have that power. Now, the choices before you are the same as those of the nobles of Molia. I must tell you that after His Highness Justinian leads the army south, there will be few choices before you."

Hendriel said this sentence lightly and quietly looked at the reaction of the Sesari people in front of him. He was not exaggerating, but just a fact.

The nobles looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, and their panic about the future finally overwhelmed their originally greedy and selfish side. I saw that the Sesari nobles who had exchanged their eyes finally reached an agreement. They all said in unison:

"Please rest assured Hendriel, we will start to attack the city early tomorrow morning!"
