With excitement and excitement, His Majesty King Beckenbauer, supported by a group of ministers and generals, climbed the city wall of the south gate of the imperial capital for the first time.

The fierce siege had long since ceased, and the Taranto rebels retreated like a tide, but they did not go far. And the re-placed formation looks like a tight battle.

The strong enemy is eyeing the side, and unless the head is in the water, it is impossible for any general to let the army continue to attack the imperial capital.

Looking at the army lined up in a tight array to the east from afar, solemn and sparse. The spears stand upright like a forest, the banner rolls in the wind, and it is a majestic and mighty steel hero.

"This is my Brilliant Emperor ** team?"

His Majesty muttered in disbelief with a bewildered look.

Next to him, a minister shouted excitedly: "Great! The general has finally arrived! ”

The magical boy has never let anyone on his side down, and this time, it was no exception.

……

The glorious empire side cheered and was inexplicably excited. On the side of the Taranto rebels, the clouds were gloomy and bleak, as high as the clouds covered the top.

A general was wounded and had blood on his face, apparently a fierce general who was rushing forward. At this time, he looked at Frankie with an anxious face and expectation.

"General French, what are we going to do now?"

As he asked, everyone looked at General Riga.

Over the past period of time together, Frankie has fully demonstrated his strengths and earned the recognition and trust of everyone. At this critical and even existential juncture, everyone has felt hopeless. The only thing that might be able to count on is Frankie.

Including the Grand Duke of Kochis, everyone waited quietly. But Frankie just looked up at the army that had just arrived at the scene, and did not answer.

Little by little, the hearts of the Taranto generals sank into the bottomless abyss.

Grand Duke Kochis smiled miserably: "Hehe, it's all the old man's fault." I regret that I shouldn't have gone my own way and didn't follow General Franchi's advice. ”

As if he had just come to his senses, General Riga's calm gaze swept around, and suddenly he let out a long sigh.

"Lord Duke doesn't need to blame himself, it's not your fault."

"Things have come to this point, and the general doesn't have to save me any face." When it came to the end, the Grand Duke of Kochis saw it.

Frankie's face was calm but serious: "No, I'm telling the truth. Even according to my plan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the intended strategic objectives. I don't believe you, look over there. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed in the northwest direction, his tone lonely with a hint of admiration.

"The skill is not as good as the person, what can I do about it!"

The generals looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that at some point, an army appeared there. The number of people is not too many, but there are always one or two thousand.

An officer couldn't help but exclaim: "Where did this unit come from?" Could it be that the enemy has already laid an ambush here? ”

Grand Duke Kochis's eyes swept and he had already seen where the other party came from.

"This is the banner of Hannover! But weren't all of their army taken away by Anthony? Where did the Grand Duke of Smowa get his soldiers? ”

"If you gather the remaining private forces of all the nobles, you can still piece together an army." Frankie guessed the origin of the troops almost immediately, and replied somewhat abruptly.

The Duke was gloomy.

General French was right, with the presence of this force, it was almost impossible for them to fight guerrilla warfare on the territory of Hanover.

Of course, they can't stand up to Taranto's army head-on, but Frankie can't easily get rid of their tracking entanglement. When the army led by Anthony arrived, they still could not escape the fate of destruction.

"Look, there's still one over here!"

One of the generals exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost, panic and despair overflowing.

All the generals turned around and looked south in unison.

I saw sand and dust rolling and filling the sky. Another army with at least 10,000 people in number was murderously pressed over.

"It's over!" A general lost his soul and actually said very inappropriate words in front of Frankie and the Grand Duke.

"Ambush on all sides, there is no way for us to survive at all!"

Grand Duke Kochis was not much better than him at this time, and he didn't care about blaming his subordinates, with a hint of realization in his eyes in despair.

"I see, I see! I'm surprised, after 10 days of attacking the imperial capital, it is said that the province of Aberdeen and the 1st Royal Cavalry Regiment should have crawled to the rescue, but they have never seen anyone. It turned out that they were afraid of scaring us away, so they were all waiting here! ”

The Duke seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and he actually guessed the truth in an instant. But this awareness has no effect on the situation they are facing.

Before the war began, the command center of the Taranto rebels was already full of grief and despair.

The only one who remained calm was Riga's Frankie.

At least on the surface, it is.

He ignored the wails around him, and clenched his fists with both hands, already making a decision in his heart.

I saw him come out of the crowd and walk quickly to the front of his own array.

"Frankie of the Riga Empire is here, can General Anthony come out and see it?"

Is this going to be an ace against an ace?

There was a slight commotion in the military formation in the east, and then the formation parted from it, and a group of high-ranking military officers rode out slowly on high war horses.

The face of the one in the front was still immature, but the strength of the male had begun to carve into his handsome face.

It is the great general of the Brilliant Empire, the genius boy who single-handedly planned and led a series of great reversals, Anthony!

The generals had stopped, and the young man rode slowly on a white horse. The sun hung diagonally in the air, and the light shone on him, paving him a warm orange yellow. From a distance, it seems that a god has descended into the world, and it is full of glory.

Frankie squinted slightly, his gaze closely following the figure of the young man, and his mood was complicated.

He can almost be regarded as personally accompanying the experience of growing up as a teenager, witnessing the rise of teenagers, and even today's brilliance, which is looked up to by thousands of people. Even if the positions were opposite, as an enemy, he still couldn't help but express his amazement and admiration for Anthony.

It's a genius.

There is no doubt that this is a peerless genius!

Since the first encounter between the two, Frankie has tried countless times to strangle this formidable potential enemy. The facts also confirm that the Riga star has a precise vision and far-reaching thinking.

It's a pity that the boy still soared into the sky with an unstoppable momentum, and finally became the pillar of the glorious empire and the number one rival of the Riga Empire.

In today's situation, does your side still have a chance to struggle to win?

Frankie didn't know, he just knew that the chances weren't high. With the cautious behavior of this teenager opposite, in the case of taking the advantage, where is it so easy for people to turn the tables?

But Frankie will not give up, his perseverance and persistence drive him to fight to the end no matter what.

Anthony reined in his horse and asked in a loud voice, "I have been invited to come here, and I don't know what General French has to say?" ”

Anthony also admires the famous Riga generals who are famous in the mainland. It's just that the positions are different, and the two have to meet each other with swords.

Frankie retracted his thoughts and said in a rambling voice: "Today's situation, my Taranto army is already under siege. Under the arrangement of the general, I am afraid that we will not have a chance to escape. But the soldiers are in danger, and my thousands of Taranto soldiers are not made of papier-mâché. Under the desperate fighting of the two armies, you and I will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which is really not beautiful. ”

"The two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable. If the king of your country had the mercy of the generals, and had not raised an army to attack in the first place, then everything would not have happened today. ”

Anthony knew he was going to have the next step, and he casually followed suit.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, we are not good speculative comments as courtiers. But the current situation is not without solutions. ”

"Oh?" Anthony knew the big play was coming, "Does General French have a way?" ”

With a wave of his right hand, Frankie exhaled loudly, and the loud voice spread far away, so that all the thousands of soldiers on both sides could hear it clearly.

"The method is very simple, with the two armies of the two wars, countless deaths. It's better for you and me to compete with the commanders of the two armies alone, and a battle will determine life and death. If General Ben is defeated, Taranto's army will lay down its arms and the whole army will surrender. If I am lucky enough to win, I ask the general to let my army go, and I will not pursue or stop me for a day. How is it? ”

When the fighters present heard this, they were all in an uproar.

It's a big gamble, with a personal duel to decide the life and death of a large army.

Anthony was only slightly stunned, then shook his head slightly.

"The general's proposal is really inappropriate."

"Look at the current situation, is there still the slightest chance that the Taranto rebels will break through? After all, they are still the subjects of the glorious empire, and although they accidentally took the wrong path for a while, I don't think there is any reason why they must be killed. We want to surrender, how many people do you think are willing to choose to resist to the end? ”

His words also fluttered far away, and the almost desperate hearts of the Taranto warriors seemed to suddenly shine into a ray of sunshine, and immediately became active.

Anthony continued: "General French is not very sincere in betting on what we have almost gotten in our hands! ”

Frankie smiled helplessly. He also knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but at this point, where else did he have anything to do?

Unexpectedly, the young man on the other side suddenly changed his voice: "The general's proposal, if you want me to agree, it is not impossible, but I have to add a condition." ”

Frankie didn't expect things to turn around, and hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

Anthony looked at him with blazing eyes and said loudly: "The general's proposal just now remains unchanged, but if he wins by chance, there is one more thing to add: I hope that General French can swear on the same day, devote himself to my glorious empire, and be loyal to my empire!" How is it? ”

"What?"

Frankie's face was stunned and he exclaimed.

He really didn't expect that the bet that Anthony asked to add was actually him.

Almost as soon as he heard this, Frankie was about to flatly refuse. But as soon as the thought in his heart turned, he calmed down.

The young man on the other side was very patient, and he didn't urge him silently, just looked at him quietly.

For a long time, as if to make some kind of decision, Frankie nodded violently, asserting that he agreed.

"Okay, I promise you!"
