Chapter 273: Slander

A series of bombshell news has made the entire Alpha Continent human countries extremely concerned about this war. The Paris Empire www.biquge.info brazenly invaded the Kingdom of Lorraine, the royal family of Lorraine abandoned the royal city and retreated north to the Varu Empire, and the Marquis of Leo of the Varu Empire led the Goblin Legion to fight a fierce battle with the three knights of Paris.

When people learned the news that the three major knights of the Paris Empire jointly surrounded and suppressed the northern retreat of the Lorraine royal family, their hearts were full of regret, and a magic kingdom that had been inherited for a hundred years was destroyed. Despite the help of the Varu Empire, no one would have thought that the Marquis of Leo, who had achieved great military prominence, would be able to fight against the Knights of Paris with the Goblin Legion.

And when the royal family of Lorraine led their people to the lands south of Waru, the nations of the entire continent were in unison. There are even many people who call this northward retreat the greatest strategic retreat in human history, and the courage of the Lorraine royal family and the spirit of not abandoning the people of the kingdom are worthy of praise and learning from all nobles, and the fearless spirit and loyalty of the people of Lorraine are also an example for people of all countries to learn.

The heads of state and military commanders were more concerned about how the Lorraine escaped from the pursuit of the three knights of the Paris Empire. It didn't take long for the truth of the battle in front of the Senta checkpoint to be revealed, and the process and outcome of this battle made all the countries on the mainland lose their voices.

Now the Marquis of Leo has become the focus of all countries on the entire continent, and the military commanders of almost all countries are studying and deducing how Leo was able to defeat the three major knights in this battle with only a Praetorian Guard and a garbage goblin legion that had never been on the battlefield, and not only escaped the pursuit, but also completely destroyed the three knights.

The current knights of the Paris Empire have become the object of ridicule. Of the three full orders, the Rose Knights were all wiped out, and the leader Sidney was captured, the Knights of the Wind only had a few hundred remaining knights, and they all abandoned their horses to survive, and the leader of the Knights of Glory, Norris, was killed in battle, and the rest of the knights withdrew after a period of confrontation. If the three knights are too weak, Lorraine, who has been known as the magic kingdom for a hundred years, was almost wiped out by them, but if they are very strong, how strong is the Marquis of Leo, who can cripple the three major knights?

And the two royal griffons that turned the tide of the war have become the object of everyone's attention, is it the Holy Griffon Empire that also intervened in this war? Or did the Marquis of Leo tame the two griffons himself? It can be said that the vast majority of people think that the Holy Griffin Empire has made a move, with the support of the first military power on the mainland, so it is easier to explain why the two ragtag armies can also defeat the three major knights.

Of course, this is just a speculation and has not been officially confirmed, and several forces involved in this incident are also intensively investigating the truth of the incident. The quickest to react was of course the Duke of Rawls of the Waru Empire, who immediately entered the palace to meet Gavin XIII.

"Your Majesty! You must have already read today's military report, that Marquis Leo is not clear about the Holy Griffin Empire behind his back, there must be something unspeakable. The greater the merits he has made now, the greater the threat to the empire, such a person will definitely not make him a duke of the empire, otherwise once he sits back and watch him full-fledged, I am afraid that he will backlash against the empire. Duke Rawls said to Gavin XIII with a worried expression.

Duke Rawls's words reminded Gavin XIII of Leo's past, the bizarre events that happened to Leo, the goblin plague, the wolf cavalry invasion, and the battle against the mage's regiment, which even the four major legions of the empire found difficult, but Leo solved them one by one. The last thing an emperor wants to see is a courtier he can't control, and Leo has now become such a chicken-ribbed figure.

Without him, he can solve many tricky things, and if you use him, you are afraid that he will become a threat in the future. As the candles in the main hall flickered, Gavin XIII's eyes kept changing.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was still hesitating, Duke Rawls spoke again: "Your Majesty, don't forget, now Leo is already the leading figure among the nobles in the northern frontier, and the important town of Silverstone in the north is in his fiefdom, and the Archduke William of the Wagner family in the south was personally recruited by Leo, and the captain of the Grizzly Legion McShouner, who is responsible for guarding the south, has a close personal relationship with Leo. Once he has any ideas, it will bring disaster to the empire from which it will never recover!"

"Moreover, whether the goblins belong to the Empire or to Leo? Why did they form a huge army of 10,000 soldiers without reporting to the Imperial Military Headquarters? These are enough to prove that Leo's mind is not pure! Your Majesty, please think about the safety of the Empire and the hundreds of thousands of people of the Empire!"

Duke Rawls's last words about the goblin clan made Gavin XIII even more alarmed, this goblin clan was accepted by Leo Yili, and now Leo can reorganize them into an army with extraordinary combat power, so with the fertility of the goblin clan, Leo's army will be enough to match the military strength of the entire empire in a few years.

The Goblin Clan, the word was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, allowing Gavin XIII to let go of all his feelings for Leo and truly stand in the shoes of an emperor and make a cold decision for himself for the Empire.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor listened to his words, his face became much colder, and his eyes gradually became firm, and Duke Rawls knew that His Majesty the Emperor had made a decision. He sneered a few times in his heart, Marquis Leo, Marquis Leo, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame yourself, you are too ostentatious, moving everyone's interests, this empire is too small, and it can't accommodate the birth of a new duke.

When the Duke of Rawls came out of the palace, a chamberlain whispered the news. It didn't take long for all this to be heard in His Majesty's Imperial Palace, Duke Solo, from the Imperial Supervision Department.

"This Rawls is really a thief, a good imperial hero actually made him slandered like this, what is His Majesty the Emperor thinking? Is it really going to destroy the foundation of the empire? If Leo returns to the imperial capital this time but does not get the reward he deserves, then what do the soldiers of the various legions think? Who else would be willing to die for the empire?"
