The 70,000 French army was wiped out in the Kingdom of Gilgias, and the commander of the French army, Gerald, was also seriously wounded, and fled back to the Red Maple Fortress under the escort of his general Guterni. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Located to the west of the Kingdom of France, the Red Maple Fortress was built to defend the Kingdom of Gilgias, and before leading his army to the Kingdom of Gilgias, Gerald left 20,000 soldiers behind in the Red Maple Fortress.

After the news of the crushing defeat of the French army in the Kingdom of Gilgias reached the royal capital of Bibo City, the prime minister Bernard hurriedly mobilized 30,000 soldiers and personally led this force to the Red Maple Fortress.

As the leader of the "Three Heroes of France", Bernard has already seen that Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone, is an extremely formidable enemy, and after defeating the Fran army, Claude will probably not stop there.

Things turned out as Bernard expected, not long after Gerald, the commander of the French army, fled back to the Red Maple Fortress, 50,000 Gilgidian troops under the leadership of Claude, the lord of Black Rock City, crossed Huquan Mountain and entered the territory of the French Kingdom.

Standing on the wall of the Red Maple Fortress, Bernard, the prime minister of the Kingdom of France, looked at the shirtless Gilgidian soldiers outside the fortress and scolding, "Lord Bernard, these Gilgidians are really noisy and annoying. Guterni, the French general standing beside Bernard, stared angrily at the Kyrgynian soldiers under the city walls, swearing all kinds of unpleasant swear words, and taking off their pants to pee in the direction of the city walls.

The Kyrgyz army arrived at the Red Maple Fortress ten days ago, and after arriving at the Red Maple Fortress, the Gilgidian army immediately launched an attack on the fortress, but the Red Maple Fortress was highly fortified, and there were 50,000 French defenders in the fortress, so the Kyrgyians could not break through the Red Maple Fortress at all.

After storming the fortress for three days and paying thousands of casualties, the commander of the Kyrgyz army gave the order to stop the attack, and from four days ago, hundreds of Kyrgyz soldiers came to the city walls every day to shout and curse.

"This is a trick of the Kyrgias, they can't take the fortress, they want us to go out of the city to fight them, General Guterni, you are guarding the city walls, no matter what these Kyrgyians do under the walls, don't pay attention to them, you must not open the gates of the fortress and fight the Kyrgias. Bernard turned to the bald general in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Bernard. Guterny nodded, although there were only 50,000 Gilgidian troops outside the Red Maple Fortress, there were 5,000 dwarven warriors among them.

Not long ago, in the land of the Kingdom of Gilgias, Guterni had already seen the combat effectiveness of this dwarven army, although the dwarven warriors were short in stature, but their strength was amazing, a dwarven warrior singled out three, four human soldiers were not a problem at all, not to mention that the five thousand dwarven warriors invited by Meng Fan belonged to the personal guard of the dwarf king Baz, and the combat effectiveness was even more amazing, and the silver knights, the ace troops under the commander of the French army, Gerald, were all buried under the battle axe of this dwarven army.

Descending from the walls of the fortress, Bernard came to the chamber of Gerald, the commander of the French army. Half-lying on the bed, Gerald had just drunk the decoction that the doctor had decoction, not long ago, in the Kingdom of Gilgias, the commander of the French army, Gerald, had a thrilling battle with the dwarf king, Gerald was hit in the back by the dwarf king's hammer, and was seriously injured, after returning to the Red Maple Fortress, after the doctor's treatment, Gerald's body gradually recovered.

"Lord Bernard. Gerald saw Bernard, the prime minister who had walked into the room, "Lord Bernard, is there any news of Sophia?" Gerald had an anxious look in his eyes.

In the battle with the Gilgidian army, the Silver Knights, the ace unit under the commander of the French army, Gerald, was completely wiped out by the dwarven army invited by Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, and Gerald's wife, Sophia, the leader of the Silver Knights, was also shot down by the dwarven warriors on the battlefield, and her life and death are unknown.

Coming to the bed and sitting down, Bernard shook his head, Bernard sent spies to the Kingdom of Gilgia to find out the news of Sophia, the head of the Silver Knights, but the spies did not collect information about Sophia, it seems that the Gilgias have tightly sealed the news about Sophia.

"What are these spies doing? It's been so long, and there's no clue?" Gerald, who was sitting on the bed, came up again, "cough...... Cough ......" covered his mouth, Gerald frowned and coughed a few times, and the injury on his back was faintly painful again.

"Marshal Gerald, you can rest assured that you will recover from your injuries, and I will send spies to inquire about General Sophia's news, as long as General Sophia has no ...... The spies will definitely bring back the information. Bernard said softly.

"Claude, this bastard actually colluded with the dwarves, without the help of the dwarves, our army would not have been defeated, and Sophia would not have ......" Gerald clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"Claude has indeed exceeded my expectations, he not only invited the army of the dwarves, but also led the army over the Huquan Mountain to invade our kingdom of France. Bernard, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, said with a solemn face.

A terrible guess arose in Bernard's mind, whether it could be that Claude had been preparing to invade the Kingdom of France for a long time, and a huge gold mine was discovered on the west side of the West of Tiger Springs, and the French army had seized this gold mine located in the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias, which led to a conflict between the two countries.

Now that I think about it, the timing of the discovery of this gold mine by the Kyrgynians was too coincidental, just during the invasion of the Kingdom of Gilgia by the Kingdom of Bretan. If it weren't for this time, as the smallest country on the Qinglan Continent, the Kingdom of Fran would not have taken the initiative to invade the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias at all.

The invasion of the Fran army gave Claude, the lord of Blackstone, a good reason to go to war, and it was Claude who gradually intensified the conflict between the two kingdoms.

Through the information brought back by the spies, Bernard learned that this time it was Claude, the lord of Blackstone, who led the army to conquer the Kingdom of France.

Goshawk, this is the family crest of the Lord of Blackstone City, Claude Kuru, the eagle is the strongest in the sky, unlike the lion and tiger, which are fierce beasts on land, the eagle has a natural aggressiveness. Both lions and tigers have their own territory, and they will not leave their territory to hunt elsewhere.

But the eagle is different, the goshawk soaring in the sky will fly to all corners of the continent, and in the eyes of the eagle, the land that circles and skims is its own hunting ground.

"Lord Bernard, are the Gilgidian army still fighting outside the Red Maple Fortress?" Gerald, who was sitting on the bed, asked, "Well, I've been shouting outside for days, and the Gilgiians can't take the Red Maple Fortress, so they want to provoke us and let us go out of the city to fight them." Bernard nodded.

"These damn Gilgidians, if I hadn't been injured...... Gerald looked resentful, "Marshal Geral, we don't have to pay attention to these Gilgidians, the reason why Claude dared to lead the army to invade the Kingdom of France was because of the dwarven army in his hands, I have already sent the news of Claude, the lord of Black Rock City, colluding with the dwarves, to San Lorenzo City, and in half a month, the Holy See of Light will send an envoy, if Claude does not withdraw his troops after seeing the envoy, then the Holy See of Light will impose severe sanctions on him......" Bernard said as he looked at the white-haired man on the bed.

In another half a month, the Pope of Light will send an envoy, whose mission is to order the Kingdom of Gilgias to immediately withdraw its troops from the Kingdom of France, and to supervise the return of the Dwarven army he has invited by Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City.

Unlike the human kingdom on the Qinglan Continent, the dwarves in the Luosong Hills believe in the god of war, and the Holy See of Light regards the three intelligent and civilized races of the dwarves, elves, and orcs as aliens, and the Holy See of Light prohibits the human kingdoms on the Qinglan Continent from interacting with these aliens in private.

Claude, the lord of Blackstone, invited the army of the dwarves to fight for him, which was clearly contrary to the decree of the Holy See of Light, and Bernard, the prime minister of the Kingdom of France, reported Claude's personal relationship to the Pope of Light in San Lorenzo, and His Majesty had sent an envoy from the Holy See headquarters in the Kingdom of Maud, in the city of San Lorenzo.

As long as the Pope's envoys arrive at the Red Maple Fortress, the Gilgidian army will definitely withdraw, and Bernard is confident that Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City, will not be arrogant enough to be an enemy of the most powerful force on the Qinglan Continent, the Holy See of Light.
