Fort Como, one of the most important fortresses in the East Lorraine region. The www.biquge.info of Pen Fun Pavilion has resisted invasions from the east many times in history, and is the most important military fortress in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Lorraine, and the only place where the Kingdom of Lorraine and the Duchy of Isis meet. At the same time, since the castle is backed by a cliff and is surrounded by cliffs on the left and right, there is only one path to go up the mountain. Therefore, the defense of the entire Fort Como can be described as impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

George VI couldn't figure out why Renard had lost such an important fortress in just a dozen days, knowing that once Fort Como fell, it directly opened the passage to the royal capital - Roland City.

Renard sat across from George VI, feeling the softness of the velvet cushions on his seat and the faint smell of tea wafting from the table in front of him. Renard exhaled deeply, he hadn't felt such a leisure in a long time.

Since receiving orders from George VI to start fighting with Escis, he has spent a great deal of energy studying Escis' army and simulating a battle with Escis. The army of 50,000 can almost be regarded as the strength of the country, but in exchange for failure. The Battle of Cuomo not only wiped out his decades-long legacy for the kingdom, but even shattered Renard's confidence.

These days, every day his nerves are tense, from cautious at the beginning, to suspicious later. Renard, who was in his fifties, was originally in the eyes of everyone, an old and strong, majestic and majestic prince, and the pillar of the Rollin Kingdom. But now, with staggered wrinkles on his face and gray and messy hair, he has aged ten years in an instant in just one month. Anyone who sees the current Renard will think that he is just a dull old man.

George VI sat quietly, watching the haggard Renard in front of him fall into memory, although he did not speak, he was also embarrassed in his heart. It wasn't that long ago that he was like that. When he thought that a wonderful opportunity was in front of him, and he was strong and prepared, it was the time to make a difference. As a result, Allen's blow directly shattered George VI's dream of dominating the world, and it was a quiet battle, and George VI was beaten back to his hometown. The huge gap took George VI months to recover and accept reality.

Now Renard is also in this situation, so he did not remind Renard, but quietly waited for Renard to speak himself.

"In the battle of Fort Como, I lost, and I lost very completely." Renard spoke, and there was no reluctance in his tone, only admiration.

"I thought that with Fort Como's easy terrain and strong defenses, the Essis would never have a chance to break through my defenses. It's a pity that I still underestimate Alan Ouranos as a person. He was simply a genius of war. ”

"How?"

"Como Castle is an easy place to defend, I know that, and he knows it. I thought he was going to storm the castle so I could have the upper hand and fight him in a tug-of-war. As a result, instead of attacking, the other side relaxed the siege. Although the other party sent soldiers to shout and curse under the castle every day, how could I not know such a simple strategy to lure the enemy.

But what I didn't expect was the water。。。。。。 It's deeper than I thought. ”

Looking at Renard's gloomy face, George VI frowned and wondered, "What happened?" ”

"Just after more than ten days of stalemate between our two sides, a rumor suddenly spread in the castle, I don't know who started at the time, and now I think maybe this is also Ouranos's plan."

"What rumors?"

"Many people are saying that the Essis are actually a fake siege, and their main force has bypassed Fort Como and attacked the king."

"This is fake news! I didn't see the army of the Assis in Roland! ”

Renard glanced at George VI, nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed fake news." But many people believed the news at the time. Including me. The army of Essis besieged but not attacked, and according to my observations and temptations, the main force of the other side was indeed not under the city. I know that Fort Como is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the cunning of Ouranos, he will not be willing to attack it. I knew that he would have done such a risky move as bypassing Fort Como and attacking the royal capital, otherwise he would not have dared to declare war on a kingdom by relying on the strength of a duke alone. ”

"So..."

"Hey。。。。。。 That's right. Eventually, I couldn't help it. I launched a surprise attack on Esis's troops with the main force, and unfortunately fell into an ambush by Ouranos. ”

George VI looked at Reynard's haggard and self-reproachful expression, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to blame, and finally he could only comfort: "Uncle, the war has come to an end, only do our best to repel Ouranos, and the ancestors of the Carter family will definitely bless us!" ”

The words that should have been sonorous and powerful, but when they were said at this moment, George VI suddenly felt so pale and powerless, as if the last struggling beast was letting out an unwilling and weak whimper.

Renard nodded, then raised his head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, what you said is right. The centuries-old legacy of my Carter family cannot be destroyed in our hands, and the old minister will do everything in his power to expel the Essis from the Lorryn realm! ”

The sturdy and ornate gate, engraved with countless intricate patterns, slowly closed behind him, and the anxious Hals who was waiting outside the gate stepped forward quickly. After observing Renard's expression for a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty... How so? ”

Reynard didn't say a word, his face was cloudy, and he walked forward with a deep haze. Hals didn't get an answer, and reluctantly chased after him.

"Your Royal Highness, the guards have just reported that the army of Isis has arrived under Roland and is currently encamped. How should we deal with it now, a big thing is waiting for you to order! ”

Hearing this, Renard suddenly paused, and Hals hurriedly stopped his steps and stood cautiously beside Renard, waiting for instructions.

"Defend as much as you can."

After saying a word, he didn't care about Hals anymore and left directly.

Hals stood alone, thoughts ebbing and falling. After some time, as if he had finally made up his mind, Hals stomped his foot and followed the direction of Renard's departure.

Call~

George VI let out a breath and put down the teacup in his hand. The amber tea swayed slightly, rippling round and round. Feeling the faint aroma of tea in his mouth, George VI looked out the window at the sky.
