Chapter 145: Peace Talks
"I know, sister. Hobley whispered while hugging his sister, Queen Medell.
"Sister, His Majesty was not only not sad but quite angry when he heard the news of His Highness Christian's death, and His Majesty was furious because of His Highness Christian's defeat on the battlefield. Hobley whispered in his sister's ear.
"This old thing, I didn't let him send Christian to be the commander of the army in the first place, but he didn't listen, and insisted that Christian lead the army to attack the kingdom of Gilgias, and now that his son has died, he actually ......" Medel patted the edge of the bed and scolded her husband, the old king Bryn Sias.
"Sister, His Royal Highness Christian is your only son, and now His Royal Highness Christian has died...... I'm afraid that His Majesty the King will appoint another crown prince. Hobley began.
"This old thing will surely make the son of Sivir's slut the crown prince. Maydell said with a look of hatred as she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand with both hands.
In addition to Queen Medell, King Brunn Sias had several wives, and Sivir was one of the ladies that Brunn had taken in the royal palace, and Madame Sivir's son, Prince Pania, was nineteen years old and the sixth of all princes.
Madame Sivel was very good at pleasing the old king Brun, and the sixth prince, Panya, was also handsome and dashing, and distinguished himself among the princes.
After the death of Crown Prince Christian, the sixth prince is most likely to be made the crown prince.
"Sister, His Majesty the King has been unkind to you, and now His Royal Highness Christian is gone, we ...... We'll have to do something else. Hobley looked at Queen Maydell and spoke.
"Hobley, you ......" Medell wiped her tears with a handkerchief and looked at her brother, "Sister, let's talk to the eldest brother...... It's time for our Garcia family to become the rulers of the Kingdom of Bretan. Hobley said, holding his sister Maydell's shoulder.
Hobri and Queen Medell belong to the Garcia family of the Bretan Kingdom, the Garcia family is a nobleman with a long history in the Bretan Kingdom, the Garcia family's territory is in the eastern part of the Bretan Kingdom, and the current lord of the Raging Waves, Maxim Garcia, is the elder brother of Medell and Hobley.
Looking at her brother blankly, Medel finally made up her mind, "Okay, Hobley, just do what you want, now that Christian is dead, I don't have anything to do with that old fellow of Brun." Queen Medell clenched her handkerchief and said hatefully.
—————————————————
On the Red Flame Plain on the west side of the Red Flame Fortress, 100,000 Kyrgynian troops were stationed here, after the Battle of Yuanjing Lake, the Kyrgynian army regained Lanyue City, and the main force of the Bretan army was basically wiped out, and Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian Army, led the army to arrive under the Red Flame Fortress, preparing to launch an attack on the Red Flame Fortress in the past two days.
In the tent of the barracks, Meng Fan was receiving Duke Dulaika, a special envoy sent by King Gilgias.
"Peace talks?" Meng Fan looked at the envoy Duke Dulaika who rushed to the front line from the royal capital Cangyun City, since Meng Fan took over Duke Dulaika as the commander of the Gilgidian army, Duke Dulaika has been staying in Cangyun City, and all the affairs of the army have been handled by Meng Fan, and now Duke Dulaika was appointed by the king as a special envoy to the military camp.
"Yes, Marshal Claude, the Kingdom of Brettan has made a request for peace talks with His Majesty the King, and His Majesty has agreed to it, and His Majesty Landry has sent me to take full charge of peace talks with the Kingdom of Brettan. Duke Dulaika, who was sitting in the big tent, nodded.
Duke Duleka was the uncle of King Landry Pars of Gilgia and belonged to the Gilgidian royal family.
"Lord Duke, there are not many Brettan troops left in the Red Flame Fortress, and they are now proposing peace talks......" Meng Fan looked at the red-haired man sitting in front of him.
"Marshal Claude, the Kingdom of Brettan intends to return both the Red Flame Fortress and the Thundering Fortress to us as bargaining chips for peace talks. Duke Dulaika said.
"Lord Claude, the Kingdom of Bretan is now facing the invasion of the Kingdom of Armas, and they do not have the strength to start a war with two kingdoms at the same time, so they want to end the war with our Kingdom of Gilgias as soon as possible. Tiberius, who was sitting next to Meng Fan's subordinates, said.
The news that the Armas Kingdom sent 300,000 troops to attack the Bretan Kingdom Meng Fan had already learned about it, "Lord Duke, the Bretan Kingdom has invaded the Gilgian Kingdom, and they want to make peace with us now that they are in trouble, this is really shameless, Lord Duke, we can pretend to negotiate with Bretan first, and after they hand over the Red Flame Fortress and the Thundering Fortress, we will attack the territory of the Bretan Kingdom in one fell swoop." Meng Fan looked at Dulaika and said.
"Field Marshal Claude, the Kingdom of Bretan has proposed to sign a sacred oath at the time of peace talks. Dulaika shook her head.
"Sacred Oath?" Meng Fan was stunned, "That's right, the Bretan Kingdom will return all the occupied lands to the Gilgidian Kingdom, but we have to sign the Holy Oath under the witness of the envoy of the Holy See of Light, and within ten years, neither the Gilgian Kingdom nor the Bretan Kingdom can take the initiative to provoke a war against the other." Dulaika said.
The Holy Oath is supervised by the Holy See of Light, and if after the Divine Oath is signed, the Gilgian Kingdom sends troops to the Bretan Kingdom, it will be sanctioned by the Holy See of Light, and even the Kingdom of Gilgias, one of the nine kingdoms of the Qinglan Continent, will not dare to offend the Holy See of Light easily.
The Holy See of Light not only has three powerful Guardian Legions, but also controls the Mord Kingdom, the largest human kingdom on the Qinglan Continent, and the Pope of Light is not only the spokesperson of the God of Light in the Qinglan Continent, but also the de facto commander of the nine human kingdoms on the Qinglan Continent.
"Lord Duke, we can choose not to sign a sacred oath with the Bretan Kingdom, as long as we capture the Red Flame Fortress with our strength, then we can fearlessly invade the territory of the Bretan Kingdom, and the Bright Holy See ......can't control it," Meng Fan said.
"Marshal Claude, I know that you have outstanding military talents, and the army of the Kingdom of Bretan has been defeated in your hands, but Marshal Claude, our Kingdom of Gilgias has been at war with the Kingdom of Bretan for nearly a year, in this year, the Royal Family of Gilgias has suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, and the consumption of food and grass materials has almost used up all the gold coins in the treasury, and we cannot support a war of aggression, His Majesty the King also considered again and again before agreeing to peace talks with the Kingdom of Brettan. Duke Dulaika looked at Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgi Runner-up Army, and said.
Your Majesty the King, Meng Fan couldn't help sneering in his heart, Gilgidian King Landry Pars died more than two months ago, and now it should be Prime Minister Halson who is managing the government in Cangyun City, Halson is loyal to the Gilgidian royal family, once the war is over, King Landry's death will be announced.
Dulaika saw that Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgian Army, seemed reluctant to negotiate peace with the Bretan Kingdom, "Marshal Claude, it is a good thing to be able to recover the Red Flame Fortress and the Thundering Fortress without much effort, according to the information from the spies, the King of Bretan sent 30,000 Praetorian Guard troops to the Red Flame Fortress, plus the 20,000 troops in the original fortress, and now there are 50,000 Bretan troops in the Red Flame Fortress,
Marshal Claude, no matter how brave you are, it is impossible for you to take the Red Flame Fortress unscathed, let alone the Thundering Fortress, the Thundering Fortress built on the Thundering Mountain can be regarded as the most dangerous fortress on the Qinglan Continent, and now the Bretan Kingdom is willing to return these two fortresses on the defense line of Fanxin Lake to us, this is a bargain. Duke Dulaika persuaded.
Dulaika is now very respectful to Meng Fan, in the battle with the Bretans, the commander of the Gilgian Army, Meng Fan showed extraordinary military talent, defeated the Bretan army one after another, and killed the commander of the Bretan Army, Christian Sias, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Bretan, in the Battle of Yuanjing Lake, Meng Fan is now the incarnation of the god of war in the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of Gilgias.
The soldiers of the Gilgidian royal army also revered their commanders immensely, and Meng Fan's talent and outstanding achievements forced Dulaika to put away the arrogance of his royal family.
After listening to Duke Dulaika's words, Meng Fan was silent for a moment, "Alright then, Lord Duke, since the peace talks are an order from His Majesty the King, then I am willing to obey." Meng Fan nodded.
"Thank you, Field Marshal Claude, for your understanding. Duke Dulaika smiled. "Marshal Claude, you led the army to defeat the Brettans, and made great contributions to the kingdom of Gilgias, His Majesty the King said that you will definitely be ......generously rewarded Marshal Claude when the war is over," Duke Dulaika said after standing up from his chair and bowing respectfully to Meng Fan.
