Twenty days later, Julian's 5,000 soldiers of Welenburg, more than half of Welenburg's army, were encamped near the royal capital.

After the Battle of Willenburg, the original more than 20,000 regular troops were lost by nearly half, and there were less than 12,000 left, and there were still a large number of disabled soldiers, and the fortress itself still needed to defend against the remnants of the barbarians, which was already the largest force that General Roland could mobilize.

The royal capital, Saint-Dentier, is located in the plain region in the center of the continent, which has been a rich area since ancient times, and is the "land of honey and milk" coveted by the barbarians.

The river network was dense, and the banks were dotted with cities and villages, and the army was stationed in the villages closest to the royal capital upstream, and the barbarian army was overwhelmed, and the whole village ran out, and everyone could only see abandoned farmland and empty houses.

This is the scene I have seen along the way, full of wars, plagues, and desertions, compared to the incredible beauty of the village with its golden wheat fields when I first entered the dungeon, enough to see how much war has damaged this idyllic and beautiful world.

It is impossible for an army of 5,000 people to march secretly, so it is easy to be discovered by the scouts sent by the royal capital, but Mu Lan does not plan to let Julian appear in a low-key manner, all the way they are helping the displaced people along the way, and they can exchange their barely satisfying food for their following, and the team of only 5,000 people at the beginning has now expanded to tens of thousands, and they are marching towards the royal capital.

His army was stationed ten kilometers outside the royal capital, and he declared that he would protect all the people of Northval, whether nobles or manor owners, carpenters or slaves, who were on the side of the barbarian invasion.

The city was boiling inside and outside the city, and almost all the displaced people outside the city gathered in Julian's ranks, and the taverns, inns, casinos, and red light districts in the city were all telling the glorious deeds of His Royal Highness the Prince, telling how the heroic prince had wittily penetrated the tricks of the barbarians, and single-handedly went straight into the enemy camp to behead the barbarian chieftain......

After all, the regent was not in the right position, and when the old king had not yet breathed, he started a drama of the same party and fighting against differences, and now the orthodox heir to the throne returned, and he also did a good job of expressing his welcome to His Royal Highness the second prince to return to the royal capital to report on his work, and in recognition of the outstanding merits of the soldiers of Wellenburg, the royal capital will hold a grand award ceremony, and the whole city will celebrate and serve food.

Julian was naturally willing to take his soldiers to the ceremony, but he was also given the condition that the 5,000 soldiers would be stationed in place, and only a few hundred delegates could be sent to participate in the ceremony.

This is what the regent meant, five thousand soldiers are no more, no less, but once they enter the city, it will pose a great threat to the royal capital, if they only bring a few hundred people into the city, no matter what the second prince thinks, whether it is an alliance or to seize power, it is not at his disposal.

But what the regent did not expect was that Julian simply agreed, and the messenger reported that he did not hesitate without any hesitation, and His Royal Highness agreed to the request, and the award procession of 300 people would enter the royal capital in two days.

"Isn't this prince a bad head?"

The stout man with the beard scratched his head and wondered: "He rushed back to the royal capital with great fanfare, and he brought such a small number of troops, isn't this looking for death!" ”

Qiao Yi was also thinking the side, to be honest, he couldn't figure out what he was doing like a rock, these people didn't accumulate strength in Wellenburg, and they rushed to the royal capital directly after the battle, and the difference in strength was so great, it wasn't what it was to die.

You must know that the second prince's uncle Drahi is the murderer of his brothers and sisters, and he has been chasing and killing him for several years, the old king's serious illness is also related to the regent, and even the military salary and military supplies of Willenburg have been intercepted, how can such a conspirator allow the survival of the more orthodox heir than him, if he is the regent, he will definitely send someone to surround the second prince's team as soon as possible, and directly eliminate the future troubles forever.

"Do you want to attack the city directly, take the royal capital and regain the throne?" The stout man said, and when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, a reckless man like him would not do this, the besieging side needed several times the strength of his own, how could these five thousand people defeat a thousand-year-old capital with 60,000 troops and nearly a million inhabitants? And the Silver Valley is not far away, and it is not impossible to transfer an army of tens of thousands of people to support, no matter how he thinks about it, he can only understand that the second prince is as solid as a rock and the second prince's head is not good.

"Don't you understand?" Song Yu looked at the stout man mockingly, "Cheng Xun, your points are really on the muscles, squeezing out your walnut-sized brain." ”

The stout man Cheng Xun was used to such sarcasm, and he laughed at himself, "I don't understand you twists and turns, and Qiao Yi definitely didn't understand it, don't just talk about me." ”

Qiao Yi looked at Cheng Xun, but didn't say anything, and continued to remain silent.

Song Yu waved his hand, "Forget it, you stones have to be straightforward, what do you think the second prince came back for with great fanfare?" Combined with the elusive barbarian cavalry outside the city and the rumors inside the city, this is a rock-solid momentum! ”

"Momentum?" Cheng Xun still didn't understand.

"It's a trick!" Song Yu's voice cooled, "Everything they did was to let the second prince return to the royal capital openly. ”

"But ......" Qiao Yi hesitated: "Even if the second prince can return to the royal capital, the regent only allows three hundred people to follow, and such an insignificant team can't stir up trouble in the royal capital." ”

"They have stirred up the storm, what is the image of the second prince of the people? He is a hero, a hero who stands up when the country is in danger! Song Yu's expression gradually became gloomy: "The leader who defeated hundreds of thousands of barbarian armies with only 20,000 people, compared to the incompetent regent who is bound to lose in battle, the image of the second prince is much more positive, not to mention that he is still the orthodox heir." ”

"An orthodox, valian, and benevolent prince returns to the war-torn royal capital...... He will be supported by the people, and even the regent will be a little jealous......" Song Yu's voice gradually became softer, and finally said as if talking to himself: "The rock-solid wise man is beyond my expectations, and I can't solve this kind of conspiracy ......"

"Things are getting interesting, it's been a long time since I've met an opponent like this......"

Song Yu pondered for a moment and instructed Qiao Yi: "It's up to you next, the second prince must die!" I don't know if he has a talisman weapon, this time you have to be extra cautious, use your killer weapon, be sure to kill with one blow, and the second prince will die outside the city. ”

Qiao Yi nodded, and then the figure gradually disappeared into the air.

Song Yu smiled: "I was actually disturbed by others, in fact, the solution to this Yang conspiracy is very simple, no matter how much he is supported by the people, as long as he becomes a dead man, and dies in the hands of the barbarians, everything will be over." ”
