In the Purple Sun City Lord's Mansion, an old man in his sixties sat above the council hall, and this old man was Lewin Nolan, the Lord of Purple Sun City.

In the council chamber sat Nice, the general of the royal army, Dorne, the city defense officer of Ziyang City, and more than a dozen army officers.

"Lord Marquis, according to the report from the front-line spies, Dulaika's army has arrived in the territory of Tieliu City, and it will arrive in Ziyang City in about six days. An officer in charge of gathering intelligence reported.

"Dulaika, the traitor's army is coming, what do you think we should do?" said Lewin, the Lord of Purple Sun City, who was sitting above. Lewin's expression was grim, and Dulaika, who had just ascended the throne as king, was about to rush to Ziyang City with an army of 250,000 troops, which was a formidable enemy that Ziyang City had never faced.

There are only 70,000 defenders in Ziyang City, and Levin does not have any assistance, this time, Purple Sun City is competing with the entire Gilgidian Kingdom, Dulaika not only sought the throne, but also obtained the support of most of the lords of the Gilgidian Kingdom, just a few days ago, Levin received information that the two closest cities to Purple Sun City, Yushan City and Tieliu City, the lords of these two cities also gathered 50,000 territorial troops to join Dulaika's command.

"My lord, I think we can go out of the city and take the initiative to attack the enemy, the enemy army has come from all the way from the royal capital Cangyun City, presumably because of fatigue and relaxation, if we attack unexpectedly, we may be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Dorne, the nephew of Lewin, the city defense officer of Ziyang City, spoke.

"Lord Dorne is right, this traitor has stolen the throne of His Royal Highness Warren, and he has gathered a rabble to attack Purple Sun City, as long as we play the banner of the Gilgidian royal family, we will definitely be able to deter the enemy. An officer said loudly.

"That's right, His Royal Highness Warren is the rightful heir of His Majesty Landry, and Dulaika, a dog thief, is not qualified to mobilize the royal army at all......" The officers present were all indignantly reprimanded Dulaika who was plotting for the throne.

"Dulaika did not steal the throne by cunning and fraud, he was also a member of the Gilgidian royal family, and served as the commander of the royal army, and had extensive influence in the Kingdom of Gilgias, as can be seen from the rebellion in the royal capital, without the full support of the royal guard, Dulaika would not have succeeded in seizing the throne. Levin looked at the people in the council chamber and said in a deep voice, and when the lord spoke, the officers shut up and stopped denouncing Dulaika's treachery.

"General Nice, what do you think we should do with Dulaika's army?" Lewin turned his gaze to a white-haired man sitting in the council chamber, who was Nice, the general of the Gilgian royal army.

Nice was originally ordered to take 30,000 royal troops to garrison the territory of Black Rock City to guard against the eastern kingdom of France, when Ness learned that the former lord of Black Rock City Claude appeared in the Kingdom of France, Nice personally rushed to the royal capital Cangyun City to ask the Gilgidian royal family to send more troops to garrison the northeastern border to prevent the army of the Kingdom of France led by Claude, who was identified as a traitor by the Gilgidian royal family.

After arriving in the royal capital, Ness happened to run into a coup d'état carried out by Duke Duraica, and at the behest of General Coollum, who was loyal to His Majesty Landry, Nice escorted the queen and Prince Warren back to Purple Sun City with 20,000 cavalry.

Lewin is grateful to Nice, who rescued his daughter and grandson. Coupled with the 20,000 cavalry brought back from the royal capital, Nice has 50,000 royal troops in his hands, and Nice and these 50,000 royal troops have chosen to support Prince Warren, without the support of these 50,000 troops, Ziyang City has no hope of competing with Dulaika's army.

"Lord Lewin, this time Dulaika recruited a large army to attack Ziyang City, I think Dulaika should appoint his cronies and generals Carmeno as the commander of the army, General Carmeno served as the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, I also served under General Carmeno, although General Carmeno's strategy is not extraordinary, but he is also an excellent army general, his biggest advantage is stability, there is no outstanding performance in tactical arrangements, but he can insist on steady and steady, step by step. That's why I don't think it's possible to defeat an incoming enemy by raiding, and I have to think of a better strategy. Ness said.

After listening to Nice's words, Lewin frowned and thought for a moment, "Until we think of a better way to break the enemy, our army will stay in the city for the time being, Dorne, you lead the soldiers to strengthen the city defenses, and always be on guard for the arrival of the enemy army." Lewin stood up and ordered Dorne, the city defense officer.

After coming out of the council chamber, Nice prepared to return to the barracks.

"General Nice. A maid from the Lord's Mansion stopped behind her, "Your Highness Freya, please come over and ......." The maid said after saluting the white-haired man in front of her.

After a moment's pause, Ness nodded and motioned for the maid to lead him to Her Royal Highness.

Nice followed the maid in the garden of the Lord's Palace, this garden is full of tulips, it is now February in the Qinglan Continent, the tulips in the garden have not yet bloomed, but small buds have been hung on the branches and leaves, and in another month, the whole garden will be covered by a sea of colorful flowers.

Walking along the garden path, Ness heard a clear and pleasant sound coming from the depths of the garden, and when he walked to the clearing in the center of the garden, Ness saw a beautiful blonde woman sitting at the piano and playing the piano intently.

Not far away, there was also a blonde man in a wheelchair and a sharp-eyed guard, and when the beautiful sound of the piano was over, applause rang out, "Sister, it's awesome to play, let's do it again." The blonde man in the wheelchair applauded as he spoke.

Standing up, Freya walked to her brother's side, leaned over, held her brother's hand and patted it gently, "Alan, my sister is back in Ziyang City now, and she has a lot of time to play the piano for you, now, you go and chat with Warren, he just arrived here and needs your uncle to accompany him more." Freya said with a smile.

Alan glanced up at the white-haired man who had walked into the garden, and Alan knew that his sister was going to talk to the white-haired man. "Bart. Alan called out the name of the guard behind him, and Bart stepped forward and pushed the wheels out of the garden.

Seeing Alan's figure disappear, Freya turned.

"General Nice. A mesmerizing smile appeared on the blonde woman's beautiful face, "Her Royal Highness." Nice took a few steps forward and bowed.

"No need to be polite, General Nice, for you escorted me and Warren out of the royal capital, and I have never had a chance to express my gratitude to you. Freya raised her hands and whispered.

"As a general of the Gilgian royal army, it is the minister's responsibility to protect Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Royal Highness Warren. Ness said, standing up straight.

"General Nice, there are probably few people in the Kingdom of Gilgias who can remain as loyal to Prince Warren as you are. Freya said, staring at the white-haired man in front of her.

"Your Highness Freya, no matter what people outside say, General Cullum and I have always believed that His Highness Warren is the child of His Majesty Landry. Ness said solemnly.

After listening to Nice's words, Freya's eyes showed a faint sadness, and she walked to the silver-white piano, where Freya reached out and gently stroked the smooth lid.

"Your Highness, the piece you played just now is so good, what is the name of that piece?" asked Ness.

"Golden tulips are one of my favorite songs. When Ness mentions the piano music, Freya smiles again.

"Golden Tulip, this piece seems to have been written by Claude. "Although Nice didn't know much about the piano, he had also heard of the famous piano pieces composed by Claude.

"Yes, this is one of Claude's last pieces. Freya glanced down at the black and white keys on the piano, "Claude Kourou is a great genius, but he ...... But he used too much talent on the battlefield. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister doesn't know much about the piano, but the minister knows that if Claude is in Purple Sun City now, then at least Lord Lewin won't have to worry about Dulaika's rebels, and those rebels will be scared to the point that their legs will go weak if they hear Claude's name. Ness said with a smile.

Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City, came up with a strange strategy to defeat the commander of the Bretan army, known as the "undefeated god of war", and then led the army to conquer the Kingdom of France, when the Bretan army invaded the Kingdom of Gilgias again, Claude was appointed as the commander of the Gilgidian army and defeated the 500,000 army of Brettan, such an impressive record is rare on the Qinglan continent, and Claude is also considered to be an "undefeated military god" Vonse's even more terrifying military genius.
