Good news for Palci was bad news for Gilmus, Prince of Arqui, and a bolt from the blue for Zelda, who assisted him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After receiving the edict from King Dikar of Arubania, Gilmus was reluctant but could not refuse, so Zelda could only take His Royal Highness the prince and hurriedly began to march east after gathering the army in the fortress of Badru.

Things went well at first, and the army of Gilmus, with the king's orders, was soon supported by armed forces from all over the country, and the size of the army soon exceeded 100,000, but problems arose. The armament of 100,000 people is quite impressive in terms of numbers, but the actual combat capability is not at all like that, especially how to feed these mouths has become a big problem - the local armed forces and nobles who originally raised these armies can provide support, but the food consumed to garrison the army on their manor and go out with the army is completely two orders of magnitude, and soon these nobles began to be unable to support it. In order to avoid a mutiny, Zelda had to rack her brains to raise food for the army, but the price paid was also dearly, that is, the speed of the Gilmus army was comparable to that of a snail crawling.

The news of the fall of Basradis was a blow to the entire Gilmus army, and even Prince Gilmus, who had always behaved beyond the adults, was stunned, and he muttered "what should I do next?" and walked around in distraction.

Zelda was really speechless, in fact his heart was more chaotic than Gilmus. Gilmus went to save the king, but the king killed his "mother" Sula, and there was no need for Gilmus to go any further. But what next? The capital of Arubania has fallen, then Arubania will soon fall into chaos, in this case, as an exiled prince living in Arubania, he will not have the appeal at all, then the current army of 100,000 will also be scattered, and even the fortress of Barud may not be able to return at that time. So should you flee to other countries? What other countries can you go to? Frank or Paz? Both countries have some degree of agreement with Palci, and it is unclear whether they will find another way to survive or get caught in the net. Zelda didn't know what to do, and at this time he realized how good it would be if Sulla was still alive.

The other Zelda didn't know, but with the acuity of a military general, he sensed that Li Tianhao would definitely attack him as quickly as possible, and he had to take corresponding measures before that situation happened, even if it was better to return to Baroud Fortress and make plans than to stay here, so Zelda still told Prince Gilmus what he could consider.

But Zelda's opinion was strongly opposed, and it was the Count of Jacob who opposed him.

Speaking of Earl Jacob, he can be regarded as Yaki's old minister, and he and Li Tianhao can be said to have a common enmity. He was driven out of the Dils region by Li Tianhao in the first place, thus losing his territory and honor, and became the laughing stock of the Yaqi nobles, so he no longer had the shame to appear in front of people. After Yaqui's demise, he fled to the Frankish kingdom, where he lived in exile. Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and with the agreement reached between Palch and Frank, Jacob was expelled, and finally had to defect to Prince Gilmus. In the Baroud Fortress, this aristocratic lord with neither political nor military command skills was naturally useless, so he achieved almost nothing but eating idle meals in obscurity. This time Gilmus was a great opportunity for him to turn around, the army of 100,000 was a burden for Zelda, but it was a beautiful dream for Count Jacob, in which he saw the illusion of restoring the glory of Yaqui, so he could not agree to Zelda's request to withdraw his troops under any circumstances, let alone allow Zelda to completely abandon the 100,000 men and only lead his elite to quickly return to the fortress of Baroud.

Gilmus was very embarrassed by the dispute between these two subordinates. From a rational point of view, Gilmus knew that Zelda's judgment was more realistic, but if he discarded the 100,000 army, it would mean that he would lose the only appeal that Gilmus had to the Arubanians, and he would no longer have any hope of leading the people here to fight for himself in the future.

Seeing Gilmus's hesitation, Zelda dissuaded: "Your Highness, now is not the time to consider the future restoration of the country, saving your life is the top priority now." ”

"But wouldn't it be too pitiful for these 100,000 troops to be abandoned?" Gilmus hesitated.

"Quantity is not a sign of strength, Your Highness. We can't take these 100,000 people with us! They are moving too slowly, which will drag down our army. What's more, even if we were able to safely return to the fortress of Baroud, we would not be able to support so many troops, wouldn't it be cruel to abandon them when the time comes? ”

Jacob couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Lord Zelda! Why are you so afraid of Li Tianhao's thief? We also have 100,000 people now, and Li Tianhao's bastard in Basradia is only a few tens of thousands, why can't we continue to move forward to defeat Li Tianhao and recapture Basarady, so that His Highness will become a hero to save Arubania? When the time comes, the people of Arubania will support His Highness as king! ”

Looking at Jacob, who was in self-absorption, Zelda said coldly: "Yaki was sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops back then, what was the result?" Lord Earl, you were once a prince, and Li Tianhao was just a little grass coward, what was the result? Today's Li Tianhao has already been full-fledged, we all lost the battle at the beginning, can we win with this group of rabble now? I can't indulge in the dream of restoring the country of Yaki and ruin the future of His Highness! ”

Jacob was furious when he heard this, and shouted, "If you are so afraid of death, you should flee back to that turtle shell of Baroud!" I want to stay and take this army to do the final decisive battle with Li Tianhao! Even if I die, I have to let Li Tianhao know the pride of the Yaji nobles! ”

"Then you can stay, sir." Zelda looked at Jacob, who was extremely self-absorbed, and rolled her eyes before she said to Gilmus, "Your Highness, we will leave today." And we need to get in touch with the Dichel Sea Fleet in Arubania at once, which is currently the most complete army in Arubania, and we must have their support. ”

"Are you going to flee overseas?" Gilmus immediately understood Zelda's meaning.

Zelda nodded and said, "The fortress of Baroud is just an expedient measure, it is impossible to hold it there, and there must be preparations for exile." ”

Zelda didn't say where the exile would go, because he didn't know where to go, but he knew that he had to go back to Baroud Fortress first, where he could at least stand on his feet and take a breath. What's more, his woman Yalta was already in labor before his expedition, so the child should have been born at this time, right? If you want to flee, then you must also take their mother and son with you.
