In August 7144, an urgent military information was sent to the capital of Gilgia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the royal capital of Cangyun City, Prime Minister Halsen received this military intelligence report from the front-line battlefield, and the commander of the Gilgian royal army, Duke Dulaika, wrote in the letter: The Red Flame Fortress was lost, and the garrison chief of the fortress Pleez was killed in battle, and 110,000 soldiers were killed, and now Duke Dulaika withdrew with more than 200,000 troops into Lanyue City in the rear.

In the royal palace, "cough...... Cough ......" Leaning against the bed, Landry Pars, King of Gilgias, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood into the bowl held by the maid.

"Your Majesty. Talia, the king's attendant, wiped the blood from Landry's mouth with a handkerchief, and gently helped the king to the bed, and Taria walked over to the three royal physicians standing in the room.

"What's the use of keeping you shit, you ...... What can you do?" Thalia asked angrily, grabbing the robe of an imperial physician, "Your Majesty, your majesty's internal organs are showing deterioration...... We...... We ...... too," the royal physician stammered as she was grabbed by Talia.

"Don't you usually boast of your medical skills, why don't you speak any of them now?" Talia pushed the imperial doctor in front of him away, glaring at the other two imperial doctors with their heads down, and the one who was pushed to the ground got up from the ground in a panic.

"Taria. The king's voice came from behind him, "Your Majesty." Thalia hurried back to the bedside.

"Taria, life and death...... There is life, this is not to blame them......" Lying on the bed, the king of Gilgias, Rand, was sallow, weak and weak.

"Your Majesty, you can't do anything, the Kingdom of Gilgias needs you ......," Taria said as she knelt beside the bed with tears in her eyes.

When Landry Pars was still a prince, Thalia became Landry's attendant, and Thalia had been by Landry's side for sixteen years, making him Landry's closest confidant.

"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks to see you." The guard reported from outside the door, "Talia, let Halson in." Landry said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Taria stood up, walked to the door, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and Thalia opened the door, and the prime minister, Halson, who was waiting outside the house, nodded to the chamberlain and walked into the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Red Flame Fortress...... Lost five days ago, Duke Dulaika led his army into Lanyue City. Sitting in the chair brought by the maid, Prime Minister Halson reported to the king what he had just received.

Landry's expression didn't change much, "How many troops are there in Lanyue City now?" Landry looked at the prime minister sitting next to the bed and asked, "Duke Dulaika has more than 200,000 troops under his command, and after the Bretans captured the Red Flame Fortress, they immediately marched towards Lanyue City. Halson replied.

Lanyue City is a big city in the Kingdom of Gilgias, and the current lord of Lanyue City is the Marquis of Alfman.

It took nearly three months for the Bretan army to capture the Red Flame Fortress, and now the two fortresses on the east and west of the Fanxin Lake defense line in the south of Gilgia have all been taken by the Bretan army, and the largest inland lake in the Qinglan Continent, Fanxin Lake, has been incorporated into the territory of the Bretan Kingdom.

The commander of the Bretan army, Christian, was not satisfied with the victory at this stage, and Christian continued to advance with his army into the hinterland of Gilgias, whose goal was to conquer Cangyun City and conquer the entire kingdom of Gilgias.

After listening to the Prime Minister's report, Landry silently looked above the top of the bed, and the Prime Minister Halsen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, regretted that he had reported this bad news to the king, the Gilgidian king Landry Pars was in critical condition, and at the front, the Gilgidian royal army was defeated by the Bretans, and the Red Flame Fortress was also lost.

"Halson, I heard...... Claude, is he back in Blackstone City?" The king lying on the bed suddenly spoke, "Yes, Your Majesty, Claude took less than two months to occupy Bibo City, the capital of the Kingdom of France, and because Claude recruited the army of the Dwarves in the war, after the envoy of the Holy See of Light arrived in Bibo City, the envoy ordered Claude to return to his territory with the army on the grounds that Claude had violated the Holy See's commandments......" Halsen replied.

"Halson, I have ordered to recruit the territory army of Claude, Lord of Blackstone, and the royal army under Oram to the front line of Lanyue City to fight against the Bretan army. Landry said, turning his head to look at the prime minister beside the bed.

"Your Majesty, Claude is very scheming, when the Kingdom of Gilgias was at war with the Kingdom of Bretan, he led the army to attack the Kingdom of Fran without reporting to Your Majesty, and also privately recruited the Dwarven army in the war, Claude simply did not take Your Majesty in his eyes, Your Majesty, Claude cannot be reused. Prime Minister Halson spoke.

"I know...... Cough...... Ahem," Landry, who was lying on the bed, gasped and coughed, "but for now, it's just Claude...... He has the ability to deal with the armies of the Kingdom of Bretan. Landry's bloodshot eyes stared at the prime minister sitting on the edge of the bed.

Halson opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to refute it, the Bretans were menacing, the two fortresses of the east and west of Fanxin Lake had been broken through, Duke Dulaika, the commander of the army of the Gilgidian royal family, was mediocre in commanding the army, and although Claude, the lord of Black Rock City, was a very ambitious person, Claude had outstanding talents.

Five years ago, on the Red Flame Plains, Claude defeated the commander of the Bretan Army, known as the "Undefeated God of War", Vonsis with a clever strategy. Not long ago, Claude also led his army to conquer the Kingdom of Fran, one of the nine human kingdoms in the Qinglan Continent.

If there was anyone else who could take on the task of fighting off the invading Brettan army, it would be him, the youngest Marquis of Gilgias, Claude Kuru, Lord of Blackstone.

"Halson, Claude...... Sooner or later he will have to be removed, but for now...... The Kingdom of Gilgia needs him ......," Landry said, stretching his hand out of the quilt and speaking with all his might.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands what you mean, and the minister will go and write the edict now. Halson said, taking the king's withered palm.

"Halson, promote Claude Kuru, the Lord of Blackstone City, to the commander of the Gilgidian royal army, and let Claude rush to Lanyue City quickly......" Landry said in a small voice as he looked at the prime minister who stood up.

In a room on the south side of the palace, an 11-year-old red-haired boy sat on the piano and played, and next to the red-haired boy stood a beautiful blonde woman.

"Warren, fingers need to be harder on this note in the middle, you're playing too weakly. The blonde woman reached out on the piano and demonstrated it to the red-haired boy.

"Yes, Queen Mother. The red-haired boy sat up straight and played the score again as his mother had instructed.

The red-haired boy sitting in the room playing the piano is Prince Warren, the only son of King Landry Pars of Gilgias, and the blonde woman standing next to Prince Warren is Warren's mother, Queen Freya.

"Your Royal Highness, the Prime Minister is outside asking to see you. A maid walked into the house, "Warren, you practice yourself for a while." Freya gently touched her son's head and followed the maid out of the room.

"Lord Harson. Freya saw Prime Minister Halson waiting in the courtyard. "Her Royal Highness. Halson bowed to the blonde woman in front of him.

"Your Highness, I have just come from His Majesty's side...... "Your Majesty," said Halson, "Your Majesty, how is his health?" asked Freya softly.

"This ......," Halson hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness the Queen, the minister came here to tell you in advance, if so...... Your Majesty soon after...... If you go to the Holy Land of Light, I hope you will help Prince Warren prepare for the throne. Halson whispered.

The laws of the human kingdom on the Qinglan continent are generally similar, a man is only an adult at the age of sixteen, and Prince Warren is now 11 years old, if Prince Warren inherits the throne, he will not be able to hold a coronation ceremony, and Warren's mother, Queen Freya, will be the regent.

"I see. Freya nodded, "The minister has retired." Halson saluted and left.

Walking back into the room, Freya stood next to Warren who was playing the piano, staring at the silver-white piano, tears gently rolling down Freya's beautiful face.

"Mother, how did I play this time?" Warren turned around and asked, "Mother, why are you crying?" Warren took his mother's hand and asked suspiciously.

"Warren. Leaning over and hugging her son, tears flowed uncontrollably from Freya's eyes. Freya hadn't seen her husband, King Landry Pars of Gilgias, for half a month. Landry doesn't let his wife and children visit him, and Landry doesn't want Freya and Warren to see her emaciated appearance from her illness.
