"Everything is ready!"

Belisarius immediately replied: "All the troops have been mobilized, the magic preparations are also very sufficient, and the floating fleets and naval warships are also ready to go, just wait for this rain and snow to pass, and they can launch a general attack immediately!"

Justinian nodded, and he stood up and walked behind the window of the tabernacle to look out at the gray sky. Countless military tents loomed in the rain and snow, and rows of soldiers standing guard and patrolling were covered in ice and snow and shivering.

A cold wind with a few snowflakes blew in through the window and blew on the young king. Although Justinian, dressed in a heavy arctic fox velvet, did not feel the slightest discomfort due to the influence of the thermostatic magic in the king's tent, he began to feel a chill in his heart.

"The weather was so unusual this early spring that the snow should have stopped at this time of year, but so far this year there is no sign of any warming at all. If this continues, I am afraid it will bring unpredictable troubles to our army!"

After the young king said this with a frown, Belisarius also sighed and echoed: "The weather has been worse than expected this year, and some of the older generation say that only the dark times of the last century have such a cold winter. I heard that the snow on the Ice and Snow Continent is even more than two meters, and even the fire has frozen, and countless civilians have frozen to death on the streets! Our situation here is slightly better, but more and more soldiers have developed chilblains, and some people with weak constitutions have suffered from necrosis of their fingers and toes. Although the magicians and magicians in the barracks have done their best to treat them, the treatment is not going well due to the lack of preparation for bad weather in advance. Bixia's court magician group has been trying to use a large magic array to improve the weather, but there has been no obvious effect, and some magicians have even had a magic overdraft, if such bad weather continues, I am afraid that large-scale non-combat attrition cannot be avoided!"

When Justinian heard this, his face could not help but become even more gloomy, and he slammed his fist into the pillar with a thud. Could it be that the desire of the Nicaeans to revive the once glorious Eastern Roman Empire was so difficult, and how many years they have tried their best to get to where they are today? Unexpectedly, on the eve of recovering the old capital, it was blocked by wind and snow, why did the God of Light always refuse to have mercy on his believers?

Thinking of this, the young king could no longer hold back his emotions, and asked in an irritable voice, "Is there no other way?" No matter how bad the weather is, with our troops, it should not be impossible to capture Byzantium, right?!"

"Bixia, please don't be impulsive, it's cold and snowy outside, but the Byzantine city defenses are extremely strong. If the warriors want to attack, they will have to go through countless obstacles that are slippery and cold, but the other side will be able to shoot us at ease from the top of the city walls! Although we can definitely win with our troops, if there are heavy casualties, how can we compete with the Olympian Alliance, the Holy Rah, and even the West Rosian for supremacy in the Balkans? The only way to do this is to urge the court magicians to continue to do their best to improve the weather, while patiently waiting for the best time to attack!"

The marshal's words did make sense, and although Justinian was unwilling, Zuihou had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

Belisarius then comforted him, saying: "Bixia need not be discouraged, according to the latest information I have received, the Slavic bears of the Ice and Snow Continent have suffered heavy losses this winter and cannot be sustained, and they intend to ally with us who share the same faith, and send troops to war in exchange for the food and money we will get after the capture of Byzantium, which is simply good for us! As long as we fight steadily, the time will eventually come to dominate the Balkan continent!"

The young king, encouraged by the marshal, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit eased.

However, just as he opened his mouth and was about to respond, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside and reported loudly: "Bixia! There is news from the fleet that a cruiser formation in the southeast has been suddenly attacked while patrolling, and the enemy has fled without a trace after one of the main cruisers has been heavily damaged, and the remaining battleships are stepping up their search, and the enemy's situation is still unknown!"

When Justinian heard the news, he immediately looked at Belisarius, both of whom frowned.

The Nicaean navy and air force are currently under the command of the Grand Magician of the Imperial Court, Narsis, but since the last time he led the floating fleet to attack Delos, Narcissus was left with a frustration and was seriously wounded, so the navy and air force were not in good condition, but fortunately, the siege of Byzantium was mainly the responsibility of the army, which did not affect the situation of the war.

At this time, the fleet was attacked, and neither Justinian nor Belisarius had a clue. After thinking about it, the young king had no choice but to order, "Go and invite Master Narcisse to come here and discuss the war." ”

The guards quickly took the order and left.

After about half an hour, the golden-robed magician came to the king's tent. Narsis's face was much better than before, but his eyes were still slightly gloomy. After entering the tent, he bowed to Justinian, but did not speak.

Since the battle situation was unknown, the anxious young king didn't bother to say hello, and directly asked: "Master, you should also know about the attack on the southeast fleet, right?"

Narcisse was about to answer. Unexpectedly, at this time, another guard broke in and shouted anxiously: "Report bixia! Another cruiser fleet that has been searching in the southern sea has been attacked, and a destroyer has been sunk!"

"What? What the hell are these rice buckets doing?" Justinian stood up in anger when he heard this!

The guards were so frightened by the king's angry face that they couldn't speak, and Belisarius hurriedly advised: "Bixia, calm down, let him finish his words first." ”

Only then did the young king sit down with his anger, and the guards continued to report tremblingly: "The enemy and the enemy have once again escaped smoothly after the successful sneak attack, and several detachments have searched closely in the vicinity, but nothing has been found! Your Excellency the Commander of the Southern Fleet has requested that the Northern Fleet be sent to support, and it is best to dispatch the floating fleet at the same time, but Your Excellency Commander Mendes is against it!"

"These sneaky guys are really hateful!" Justinian said angrily: "If they are allowed to continue like this, it will seriously damage the morale of our army! In any case, the other party must be defeated as soon as possible, at least to find out who the attackers are!"
