Chapter 159: Court Secrets
Half a month after Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian army, fled to the Kingdom of France, the Gilgidian royal army returned to the royal capital Cangyun City under the leadership of the temporary commander, Duke Dulaika.
The great victory in the war with the Kingdom of Bretan was a celebration to celebrate, but just as Duke Duraika returned to the capital with his army, Prime Minister Halsen announced the death of King Landry Pars of Gilgias.
The king's death was of course a top priority, the original celebratory banquet was cancelled, a solemn black curtain was hung on the walls of the royal capital Cangyun City, and the funeral of Landry Pars, king of Gilgias, would take place in three days.
In the Duke of Cangyun City's palace, King Landry's uncle, Duke Duraica, is sitting in the study smoking the signature brown pipe, and in front of Dulaika sits the royal army general Carmenor, who is the younger brother of Dulaika's wife, and the in-law relationship makes Carmeno a close confidant of Duke Dulaika in the royal army.
"Lord Duke, there is news in the palace that His Majesty has died of illness two months ago, and Prime Minister Halson has blocked the ...... of His Majesty's death," said Carmeno, who was sitting in front of Dulaika.
"Well, I heard. Dulaika nodded, "Kameno, do you remember a rumor that circulated in the royal capital a few years ago?" Dulaika asked, looking at his brother-in-law Camenor.
"Lord Duke, do you mean Your Majesty Landry...... There is no rumor of dragon root, this should be a rumor made by those good deeds. Cameno recalled.
A few years ago, there was a rumor that the king of Gilgias, Landry, was missing one of the most important things for a man in his body.
Landry Pars married Freya, the daughter of Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, Queen Freya has the beauty of the country and the city, and has such a beautiful wife, but in the palace, Landry almost never sleeps with the queen, except for Freya, Landry does not contain other women in the palace.
I don't dare to be interested in women, then there are only two reasons, either I lack the ability that a man should have, or I like men, there is no male pet by King Landry's side, and it is said that a chamberlain in the royal palace once accidentally saw His Majesty's lower body during a bath serving the king, and King Landry was missing the most important part as a man.
The attendant informed a maid he had been friends with in the palace of this astonishing discovery, and the maid in turn spread the news to some of the other people in the palace, and soon there was a secret rumor in the royal capital Cangyun City that His Majesty lacked dragon roots.
When Landry learned of this rumor, he was furious, Landry not only executed a group of attendants and maids who were the first to create rumors, but also issued a ban in the royal capital, anyone who dared to spread such rumors again would be immediately hanged, after the ban was issued, no one in Cangyun City mentioned His Majesty's secret affairs.
At this time, the Duke of Dulaika suddenly said the rumor from a few years ago, "Lord Duke, if His Majesty the King is ...... Without that thing, how could I give birth to Prince Warren with Her Royal Highness. Carmeno said with a smile.
"Camenor. Duke Dulaika, who was sitting in a chair, spewed a white mist from his mouth, "His Majesty's funeral will be held in three days, and the priest of the church has already scrubbed His Majesty Landry, and I have received definite news from the priest that His Majesty Landry is indeed gone." Dulaika looked at Cameno in front of her and smiled slightly.
If someone from a slightly wealthy family on the Qinglan Continent dies, they will go to the church and invite a priest to scrub the body of the deceased relatives with holy water and pray, and the people on the Qinglan Continent believe that if this happens, the souls of the deceased can be led to the Holy Land of Light by the messenger of the God of Light more quickly, which is also a way for the church to generate income.
The Duke of Duraika had already bought off the priest who had gone to the palace to scrub the king's body, and confirmed the rumor that had been circulating in the royal capital a few years earlier.
Hearing Duke Dulaika's words, Cameno's eyes widened. "Lord Duke, if His Majesty Landry doesn't have that...... Then Prince Warren ......," Carmeno whispered, everyone knew that in addition to being used for fun, men's things also had one of the most important missions - to pass on the lineage, and if King Landry of Gilgia was physically handicapped, it would be impossible for him to give birth to Prince Warren with Queen Freya.
"Of course Landry had that thing, I held him when Landry was born, and Landry's body was once intact. Duke Duraica took a puff of his pipe and said, only Carmenor was in the house, and Duraica no longer used honorific titles for the dead king.
"So, His Majesty Landry has been injured there!" said Carmenor, looking surprised.
"Carmenor, do you remember the war between us and the Kingdom of Brettan eleven years ago? Dulaika said, holding her pipe.
"Of course. Carmeino nodded.
Eleven years ago, in 7134 of the Bright Calendar, a war broke out between the Kingdom of Bretan and the Kingdom of Armas in the southeast of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and King Landry, who had just inherited the throne for less than two years, convened a meeting of the royal ministers and generals.
Soon, the Gilgidian king Landry personally led an army of 300,000 troops through the defense line of Fanxin Lake to attack the Kingdom of Bretan, at that time, the main army of the Kingdom of Bretan was fighting against the army of the Kingdom of Armas in the southwest, and there was not enough strength to stop the invasion of the Gilgidian army.
The 300,000 Gilgiian army under the leadership of King Landry marched all the way in, taking the four large cities of the Kingdom of Bretan, thousands of miles of land, and the high-spirited Landry ordered the army to speed up the advance, striving to capture the capital of the King of Bretan before the Kingdom of Bretan could organize an effective resistance force.
When the Gilgian army marched to the Shahe Plain in the middle of the Bretan Kingdom, only seven hundred miles away from the royal capital of Rising Sun, they were blocked by the Bretan army.
As the commander of the Brettan army, Voncis Varouan led 120,000 troops from the battlefield in the southwest to the Sand River Plain, and the Bretan army under Vonsis was less than half of the Gilgidian army, but Vonsis skillfully commanded his army to divide the 300,000 Kyrgidian army into several pieces.
Voncis mobilized his elite troops to besiege the king of Gilgias, who was isolated because of his carelessness, and the Bretan cavalry rushed towards the small hill where the king of Gilgias was located like a tide, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard guarding Landry fell one after another, and the swords of the Bretan soldiers could even swing in front of Landry.
At this time of great crisis, General Kulum, the fierce general of the Gilgidian army, led thousands of cavalry to break through the obstacles set by the commander of the Bretan army, Phonsis, and rescued the Gilgidian king Landry, who was besieged by the Bretans.
In the end, the war ended in the defeat of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and Landry also tasted the superb wisdom and military skills of the "undefeated god of war" Voncis Valuan for the first time.
"Landry's lower body must have been injured in that war. Duke Dulaika took a puff of his pipe and said slowly.
Cameno, who was sitting in front of Dulaika, also participated in the war eleven years ago, and Camenno had heard that King Landry of Gilgia had been wounded in the war, but only a few people knew exactly where he was wounded, and now it seems that His Majesty Landry was really injured in that war.
No wonder since then, the Gilgidian king Landry has become frantic when he hears the name Voncis Varuan, who not only defeated the Gilgidian army, but also robbed Landry Pars of his dignity and happiness as a man.
