Chapter 240: Countermeasures
Walking on the road leading to the royal city of Lorraine, Leo suddenly found a crowd of people rushing from the direction of the royal city, and they were carrying their families one by one, as if they were desperately fleeing from the royal city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Strange, what's the matter? Could it be that something has happened to Lorraine?" Leo whispered to himself, his heart suddenly shocked, could it be that the royal city of Lorraine has fallen?
Thinking of this, Leo didn't care about any politeness, grabbed a Lorraine who ran past him, and asked urgently, "What are you running for? What happened in the Lorraine King City?"
The man struggled a few times and found that he couldn't break free of Leo's hand, so he had to say impatiently: "The Parisians are about to hit the royal city, we all have to avoid the north, you let go, you let go quickly!"
Before Leo could let go, the people who were running in front suddenly found themselves in front of them a group of green monsters, and they let out a frightened cry, and turned around and ran back in a panic, shouting as they ran: "There are monsters ahead, there are monsters in front!"
The crowd of refugees running out and running back was huddled together, and the scene was chaotic. Leo shook his head, so he had to transport his internal force to his throat and shouted loudly: "Don't mess with everyone, I am the Marquis of Leo of the Varu Empire, and I am on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Varu Empire, leading 10,000 elite soldiers to support Lorraine. Rest assured, with us, those Parisians won't succeed!"
Not to mention, Leo's roar really worked, and the fleeing people immediately erupted in cheers when they heard that the Varu Empire had sent 10,000 troops to support Lorraine. However, most of them chose to flee north after being happy, because they were not sure if the Varu Empire's reinforcements would actually defeat the Parisians, and besides, it would still be dangerous to stay in the royal city in the event of a war.
Seeing that the people were still going to flee, Leo's eyes rolled, and he shouted loudly again: "If everyone is not at ease, everyone is welcome to continue north, the southern part of our Varu Empire has opened its borders, everyone will be safe as long as they flee into the territory of the Varu Empire, and the Parisians will never dare to provoke the Varu Empire!"
This is probably the sorrow of a small country, even if Lorraine is a magic kingdom, but after a series of news that the magician group has been defeated, the people have lost confidence in whether Lorraine can be kept, and now they hear that the powerful Varu Empire has opened its borders, and they will naturally choose to pour into the Varu Empire for refuge, for these Lorraine people who have received magical knowledge since birth, the Varu Empire is naturally extremely welcome.
Leo led the Goblin Legion in the direction of the royal city, while propagating along the way that it was safest to flee to the Varu Empire, fooling groups of fleeing Lorraine.
When Leo and his legion arrived under the royal city, it caused panic again, and the appearance of a strange legion at this sensitive time made the royal city guards feel like a great enemy. After Leo identified himself, it took a long time for the city gate to slowly open, and a pair of young twins dressed in luxurious magician robes walked out of the city gate, accompanied by a group of ministers.
"Your Excellency the Marquis of Leo, this is Prince Pique and Prince Nick of the Kingdom of Lorraine, and since our King is not feeling well, the affairs of state are temporarily replaced by His Royal Highnesses the two princes. Jalaman bowed from the two princes' sides and saluted Leo and explained why the prince had come to greet him.
Ha, in the Varu Empire, I met Prince Raymond, and now I am two princes of Lorraine, and I really have a relationship with these teenagers. Leo teased in his heart, but his face was a serious exchange of salutes and greetings with the two princes.
Outside the city was obviously not the place to talk about business, Leo turned around and ordered Carahue to lead the Goblin Legion to camp outside the city to rest, and then he himself took the Holy Army warriors as escorts and followed the prince and minister of Lorraine into the royal city.
After seeing Leo, King Fairman, who was lying on the sickbed, excitedly shook Leo's hand, and couldn't care about any conspiracy of the Varu Empire, and eagerly begged the Marquis of Leo to help Lorraine tide over the difficulties, or at least leave hope for Lorraine.
Unfortunately, perhaps it was the fate of King Fairman, just when Leo had just agreed to King Fairman's request, a chamberlain ran in in a hurry, not caring about the palace etiquette, and shouted loudly: "Urgent military situation, the city of Pagos has been lost by a sneak attack, and all the cities in the northwest of the empire have found traces of the army of the Parisians!"
King Fairman sat up abruptly from his sickbed, his face flushed with iron blue, and asked loudly, "What did you say?
"Report ...... Report to Your Majesty that the city of Pugs has been ...... Attacked by the Knights of the Rose of Paris, it has been ...... has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Traces of the Parisian cavalry were found in the surrounding cities in the western and northern parts of the empire...... Trail. When the chamberlain saw His Majesty's ugly countenance, he was so shocked that he could not speak.
However, King Fairman still heard the key words from his stammering words, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is the Kingdom of Lorraine really going to die?!"
After saying that, a mouthful of blood spurted out of King Fairman's mouth, and his body fell limply back into the sickbed.
"Your Majesty!" the attendants who stood in front of the sickbed hurriedly called for the magician to come and use healing techniques for His Majesty, but unfortunately King Fairman was already terminally ill, and he was hit one after another, and he was already unable to recover.
Seeing the chaos in the king's bedchamber, Leo quietly withdrew from the king's bedchamber. However, he did not forget his mission this time, and whispered to the two princes and the Minister of State Jalaman, who also retired: "Your Royal Highness, the Parisians are about to attack the royal city, and now the situation in Lorraine is in danger, and a decision must be made immediately. ”
The two princes, Pique and Nick, were just teenagers, and they were usually addicted to learning magic, and they did not know and deal with Lorraine's affairs as well as Raymond at the beginning, so they could only look at Jaraman anxiously.
"Your Excellency Marquis Leo, I don't know if there is anything you can do to help Lorraine?" Jarraman heard Leo say that, obviously having a plan, so he asked Leo directly.
Leo also said unceremoniously: "His Majesty the Emperor has given me an order to support the allies, so I will lead my soldiers to help Lorraine hold the royal city." However, we must prepare for the worst, once we really can't hold the royal city, at least we must evacuate all the property and personnel in the royal city, and we must not leave anything to the Parisians!"
