Chapter 147: A Letter from the King's Capital
In the Great Tent, the commander of the Gilgidian army, Meng Fan was discussing the end of the war with his subordinates Tiberius, Marsaha, and Gruya.
"Marshal Claude, the messenger from Wang Du has come......" The herald entered the big tent and reported, "The messenger from Wang Du?" Meng Fan was stunned for a moment, "Let him in." Meng Fan said to the herald.
After a while, a man in a black hooded cloak was brought into the tent, "Field Marshal Claude." Lifting off his cloak and hat, standing in front of Meng Fan was a young man.
"I am Yorick, the Lady's chamberlain. The young man revealed his identity, "Her Royal Highness's attendant?" Meng Fan looked at the young man in front of him with a little surprise.
"Marshal Claude, His Highness Freya has asked me to hand over this letter to you. Yorick took out a letter from his bosom, and Tiberius stepped forward to take it and handed it to Meng Fan.
Holding the white envelope in his hand, a beautiful figure floated in Meng Fan's mind, Queen Freya of Gilgias, five years ago, Meng Fan was deeply infatuated with the woman he was deeply infatuated with at first sight.
Unwrapping the envelope, Meng Fan took out the letter sent by Queen Freya and read it carefully, and after reading the letter, Meng Fan slowly put the letter on the table.
After being silent for a moment, Meng Fan raised his head, "Yorick, you have worked hard all the way through the wind and snow, and I will arrange a tent for you to rest." Meng Fan said.
"No, Marshal Claude, now that the letter has been delivered, I must rush back to the royal capital at once...... "Yorick shook his head.
"Well, well, Yorick, please convey my gratitude to Her Highness Freya, and I, Claude Kuru, will never forget Her Highness's kindness today. Meng Fan stood up, walked over to Yorick, and said solemnly.
After seeing the young attendant leave the big tent, Meng Fan turned around, and his subordinates Tiberius, Marzaha, and Grua all looked at him, and it was obvious that Freya, Queen of Gilgia, had brought Meng Fan a very important piece of information, and it could be seen from Meng Fan's face that this was not good news.
"Her Royal Highness said in her letter that the Duke of Duraica had come to the front not only to talk to Bretan, but he ...... I was also ordered by the king to put me to death after the peace talks......" Meng Fan looked at the three subordinates in front of him and said.
"Execute!" "Killing!" said the commander of the Black Rock City Territory Army, Gruya, "This ...... It can't be, Lord Claude, you are the greatest contributor to this war. ”
"Hero?" Meng Fan sneered and returned to the chair and sat down, the birds were all gone, the good bow was hidden, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked. Now that the Bretan army has been defeated, the Gilgidian royal family is finally going to do it to themselves.
"Lord Claude, didn't Landry, King of Gilgias, die two months ago?" said Tiberius in a whisper.
"To kill me, it is very likely that His Majesty Landry decided before he died, and now ...... It should be Prime Minister Halson who is carrying out the last orders of His Majesty Landry. Meng Fan looked at Tiberius in front of him and said.
"Lord Claude, you led your army to defeat the Bretans, and you saved the Kingdom of Gilgias from this catastrophe, and I don't understand why Your Majesty Landry would do such an ungrateful thing. Gruja said angrily.
"Chatter, Landry Pars sensed the power of Claude, and he was afraid that Lord Claude might threaten the rule of the Pars family over the Kingdom of Gilgia in the future, so he would attack Lord Claude before his wings were full. The dark mage Mar Sahar said in a hoarse voice.
"Lord Claude, since His Majesty the King has murderous intentions towards you, then we ......" Tiberius stepped forward and looked at Meng Fan sitting in the chair.
Fingers tapped lightly on the table in front of him, Meng Fan thought quickly in his mind, did he raise an army against the royal family? Although Meng Fan is now serving as the commander of the Gilgidian army, the only one who can really completely obey his command is probably the Blackstone City Territory Army, after a few battles with the Brettans, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the Blackstone City Territory Army, and they can't compete with the Gilgidian Royal Army at all.
The generals in the royal army, by the way, you can test the attitude of General Coolum and General Asta in the royal army and see how they ...... Will it be on its own side.
"Speaking of which, Lord Claude, I saw General Cullum and General Asta go to Duke Duraika's tent last night, and I don't know what they were discussing in Duke Duraika's tent, Duke Duraika has placed a magic stone outside his tent, and I can't sneak in. Dark mage Mar Sahar said in front of Meng Fan.
Looking up at Mar Saha, Meng Fan's face turned pale, Dulaika had already discussed with Kurum and Asta in advance, since Kurum and Asta had not come to report to him, it meant that these two were on the side of the Gilgidian royal family.
"What should we do, Lord Claude?" asked Grua.
Holding the black leather case on the front of his right arm with his left hand, Meng Fan's cheeks trembled slightly, "We fled the Kingdom of Gilgias. Meng Fan looked up and said.
"Fleeing the kingdom of Gilgias?" Tiberius and Grua looked at each other, "Lord Claude, we don't need to run away, Lord Claude, you are the hero of this war, it was you who led the army to defeat the Bretans, Duke Duraica should not have captured and convicted you after the war is over." Gruja spoke.
"Gruja, the Gilgidian royal family is determined to kill me, so Dulaika will not dismiss me according to the normal procedure and bring me back to the royal capital to be convicted, he will gather several royal generals to secretly execute me after the armistice is signed, and then announce my guilt to the people. Meng Fan said in a deep voice.
"Lord Claude, how about we retreat to Blackstone City with the Blackstone City Territory Army?" Tiberius said on the side, "Although Blackstone City, Coldwater City and Giant Wood City are all my territories, I can't resist the attack of the royal army with these three territories alone, and besides, I don't think Dulaika will give me a chance to escape to Blackstone City, he will closely monitor the Blackstone City Territory Army in the barracks......" Meng Fan shook his head and said.
"If you do, Lord Claude, where are you going to flee?" Marsaha's blood-red eyes stared at the black-haired man sitting in his chair.
"If there is no place for me in the Kingdom of Gilgias, then I will have to go to ......" "Kingdom of Fran. "Mar Saha told Meng Fan where he would take refuge.
"That's right, Kingdom of Fran. Meng Fan nodded, "Although half a year ago, the Holy See of Light drove us out of the Kingdom of France, but that was because I hired the army of the dwarf race, and now if I flee to the Kingdom of France as a traitor, the Holy See of Light has nothing to say, the Holy See of Light has made it clear to the nine kingdoms of the Qinglan Continent that it will not interfere in the affairs between kingdoms, and I have not violated the laws of the Holy See of Light by escaping to the Kingdom of France for refuge." ”
After listening to Meng Fan's words, Tiberius narrowed his eyes, "But Lord Claude, if you flee to the Kingdom of Fran, then all your territories and wealth will be taken away by the Gilgidian royal family." Tiberius spoke.
"I'll get it back. Meng Fan clenched his fists, with a fierce look in his eyes. "Tiberius, you remember, no one can take anything from the hands of my Claude Kuru, the Gilgidian royal family wants to strangle me, I will let them learn my might, one day, I will take possession of all that the Pars family has, I will throw the bones of Landry Pars in the dunghill, and let him rot along with the dung in the dunghill. ”
