Chapter 106: Persuasion

"Lord Claude, I only have 30,000 troops in my hands now, the war between the Kingdom of Bretan and the Kingdom of Gilgias is still going on, I have to stay in the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias, once the king needs my army, I can quickly rush over......" Oram looked at Meng Fan and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Oram, the main army of the Kingdom of Fran has been wiped out, if we can seize this opportunity, then we can easily take down the entire Kingdom of France. Meng Fan said eagerly.

"Lord Claude, although the Kingdom of France has suffered a crushing defeat, they still have a certain size of army, and the commander of the French army, Gerald, is not dead, I can't risk taking the army with you to crusade against the Kingdom of France. Oram shook his head.

Looking at the black-haired general in front of him, Meng Fan leaned against the city wall with his back to the city wall and smiled with his hands in his arms. "General Oram, you've been in the royal army for fifteen years. Meng Fan no longer said anything about the expedition to the Kingdom of Fran.

"It should be sixteen years if you count this year. Seeing that Meng Fan avoided discussing the dispatch of troops to the Fran Kingdom, Oram also had a smile on his face and replied with a relaxed face.

"Sixteen years. General Oram, how many gold coins does a royal army general like you have every year?" Meng Fan asked. Oram hesitated for a moment, "Lord Claude, my words, every year the Gilgidian royal army will give me ten thousand gold coins. Oram replied.

"Ten thousand gold coins, General Oram, I heard that General Herman has fifty thousand gold coins a year. Meng Fan said softly. "General Herman, he's the commander of this royal army, and of course there are more of them than me, and ...... General Herman was also a nobleman. Oram replied by touching the black hair on top of his head.

The recently assassinated Herman was not only the commander of the royal army, but also held the title of count, Herman's father was the uncle of King Landry Pars of Gilgia, and Herman's family held a noble position in the kingdom of Gilgias.

"General Olam, you are now temporarily the commander of this royal army, and when the war is over, do you think His Majesty the King ...... Will you continue to be the commander of the army stationed in northeastern Gilgias?" Meng Fan asked, looking at Oram.

The Kingdom of Gilgias had been garrisoning a royal army of 50,000 horses in the northeast, and King Landry had his cousin, the loyal Herman, as the commander of this army. After Herman's assassination, Oram temporarily assumed command of this royal army.

Will the king continue to make himself the commander of this army in the future? Oram thought it was unlikely, and when the war was over, the king would send someone as trustworthy as Herman to be the commander of the royal army.

"Lord Claude, the appointment of commanders is decided by the king, and I dare not speculate. Oram replied. Although Oram didn't say it explicitly, Meng Fan still saw the vague loss on Oram's face.

"General Oram, I think the Kingdom of Gilgias will lose to the Kingdom of Brettan in this war. Meng Fan turned around and leaned against the battlements of the city wall and looked into the distance.

"Mistress Claude, you...... How did you come up with such a prediction?" Oram asked, surprised. "This time the kingdom of Brettan raised an army of 500,000 troops, which can use almost all the family of the kingdom of Brettan, King Brunn Sias appointed his eldest son, Crown Prince Christian, as the commander of the army, Christian won the war, then he will return with glory and triumph,

But if he loses, then Christian's crown prince position may not be guaranteed, and Christian will do everything he can to win this war, on the other hand, our Gilgian Kingdom, the defense line of Fanxin Lake was broken through four years ago, and our army is only 300,000, which is not comparable to the army of the Brettan Kingdom.

His Majesty Landry appointed his uncle, the Duke of Duraika, as the commander of the army, although the Duke of Duraika is loyal and reliable, but he is not a man who can win battles, four years ago, on the Red Flame Plains, General Oram, you were there, you should know...... Who saved the Kingdom of Gilgias. Meng Fan turned his head to stare at Oram beside him, and an irresistible aura flashed in the eyes of Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City.

"General Oram, this time, I will save the Kingdom of Gilgias again, but first I will receive my share of the reward. Meng Fan said slowly and solemnly.

"Mistress Claude, you...... What do you want?" Oram asked in a low voice, "Fran Kingdom", Meng Fan waved his finger forward, looking to the east outside the city walls, "I want to make the east of Black Rock City and the Endless Sea my territory, and I want the Goshawk Banner to fly in every corner of the Fran Kingdom." "The family crest representing Meng Fan is a goshawk with its wings outstretched, and the banner used by the Black Rock City Territory Army is a golden goshawk flag.

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Oram was stunned. "General Oram, you...... Would you like to conquer this land with me?" Meng Fan asked, turning to look at the black-haired general in front of him.

Soon after, the temporary commander of the royal army, Olam, left the city wall, and a black-robed man appeared out of thin air not far behind Meng Fan, it was the dark magician Mar Saha, when Meng Fan was talking to Oram just now, Mar Saha had been using dark magic to hide near the two.

"Chatter, Lord Claude, it seems that this expedition to the Kingdom of France has been decided. Mar Saha walked up to Meng Fan's side and said with a smile. The temporary commander of the royal army, Oram, was moved by Meng Fan's words and agreed to go with Meng Fan to the Kingdom of France.

"General Oram also took a great risk, without the permission of the king, and sent an army together with Lord Claude to attack the Kingdom of Fran. Mar Saha looked at Meng Fan in front of him.

"Mar Saha, sometimes chance is more like a bet, if you want to seize the opportunity, you should not think about losing, but think more about how much you can gain once you win, Oram is not a fool, I believe he also made this decision after some trade-offs. Meng Fan said.

"Chatter, Lord Claude, you are absolutely right, then now we have three members of the royal army, 15,000 on the Blackstone City Territory Army, 5,000 on the Dwarven Clan's side, a total of 50,000 troops, Lord Claude, are we going to let the Purple Sun City Territory Army join in?" Mar Sahar asked.

When the Kingdom of Fran invaded the Kingdom of Gilgias, Lewin, the lord of Purple Sun City, sent his nephew Dorn with 20,000 territorial troops to support the battle, and now this territorial army still has half of the men and horses left.

"Dorne, the commander of the Territory Army of Ziyang City, made a request to me to return to Ziyang City after defeating the Fran army, and I have agreed. Meng Fan said with his hands clasped.

"Lord Claude, there are 10,000 troops in the territory of Purple Sun City, we need this army ......" "Mar Saha, Dorn is the nephew of Lord Levin of Purple Sun City, he will not be persuaded by me as easily as Oram. Meng Fan raised his head and said.

"Lord Claude, if we can't convince Dorne, we can ...... him" A gleam flashed in Marzaha's blood-red eyes, "Kill Dorn and seize the 10,000 territorial troops under him?" Meng Fan shook his head.

"No, Mar Saha, this would make Purple Sun City completely hostile to us, it's not a good idea, Done Nolan, we can't let him die now, ...... Maybe I'll be able to use him again. Holding his hands, Meng Fan showed a meaningful smile on his face.
