Chapter 177: Betrayal
"When Claude becomes the ruler of the Kingdom of Gilgias, the Kingdom of Fran and the Kingdom of Bretan, then the territory and population he controls will exceed the Kingdom of Maud, which the Holy See of Light absolutely does not want to see, the Holy See of Light will not want a country stronger than itself to appear on the Qinglan Continent, after Claude seizes control of the royal capital of Gilgias, the Holy See of Light will definitely take ......action on this nail that has emerged," Mar Saha said in a hoarse voice.
Ness, the commander of the Kyrgian royal army, who was standing in front of Marsaha, was silent as he listened to the words of the black-robed man in front of him.
"Marshal Nice, the spies of the Holy See of Light are always paying attention to Claude's every move, presumably now the Holy See of Light is already preparing to sanction Claude, maybe there is no need for the three major cathar legions, the army of the Kingdom of Maud is enough to attack the Kingdom of Gilgia and capture Claude. Marzahar continued.
The Holy See of Light not only controls the most powerful kingdom in the Qinglan Continent, but also has three major guardian legions directly under the Holy See. The Divine Legion, the Holy Light Legion, and the Heavenly Gift Legion, the three Guardian Legions stationed in the Holy Court Blazing Sky City, have an army of more than 400,000 horses.
The food and grass consumed to support the 400,000 standing army, the weapons and equipment are huge, but the Holy See of Light has so much money to arm its three major guardian legions, and every year the Holy See of Light will collect the Bright Tax from the kings and lords of the various kingdoms of the Qinglan Continent, which is not only used to support the army but also to build magnificent and exquisite churches for the Holy See.
"So you're going to turn your back on your master and betray Claude Kuru in advance?" Ness asked, staring at the black-robed man in front of him.
"Betrayal, chatter...... That's right. With a hoarse and weird laugh, Marzaha nodded, "Marshal Nice, Claude's strength is exhausted, it's time for him to withdraw from the stage of the Qinglan Continent." ”
"Mar Saha, what do you get for betraying Claude?" asked Ness, staring cautiously at the black-robed man in front of him.
"First of all, I don't have to be sanction......ed by the Holy See of Light with Claude," Mar Saha gently shook the black robe he was wearing, "Secondly, when I return to the Kingdom of France, I can continue to control the power of the Kingdom of France." Marzahar smiled.
"Return to the Kingdom of Fran?" Ness's gaze became wary, "Marshal Nice, I inform you of the news that Claude is going to rebel, and my only condition is to return to the Kingdom of France with the Fran army. Marzahar retracted his smile.
"Marshal Nice, with my help, you can easily defeat Claude, but you must promise me to return this French army that Claude has brought. ”
After listening to Marsaha's words, Ness thought quickly in his mind, the biggest enemy of the Gilgidian royal family at present is Claude, as long as Claude is killed, then the threat of the royal family will be eliminated, even if the army of the Kingdom of France is returned, it will not affect the Kingdom of Gilgias, on the contrary, if he detains or kills these French soldiers, it will also cause the anger of the Kingdom of France.
"Very well, Marsaha, I promise you that as long as I can capture Claude, I will release this army of Francis who are following Claude. Ness agreed to Marzaha's request. "But, Marsaha, if you play any tricks...... Ness warned in a deep voice.
"Chatter, Marshal Nice, I'll come to your tent tonight and tell you all about Claude's plan, how can I still play tricks, now Marshal Nice you just need to deploy your army, and wait for Claude to lead the army into the net." With a grin, Marzahar replied in a hoarse voice.

Outside Bibo City, in the camp of the French army, 50,000 soldiers of the French army were dressed in armor and ready to go. It was late at night, but Meng Fan, the prime minister of Kyrgynia, had ordered the 50,000 French troops outside the royal capital to be ready for battle, and Meng Fan himself came to the barracks.
Sitting in the big tent of the barracks, Meng Fan was waiting anxiously, and there were Tiberius, Gruya and a group of subordinates loyal to Meng Fan in the big tent.
The curtain of the "hula" tent was opened by the guards, and a man in a black robe quickly entered the large tent.
"Mar Saha" Meng Fan couldn't help but get up from the chair, "Did you succeed?" Meng Fan looked at the dark mage Mar Saha who walked into the big tent.
"Chatter, Master Claude, Ness will no longer stand in your way, he has now been reduced to a pile of bones. Mar Saha's blood-red eyes stared at Meng Fan.
Meng Fan did not have the slightest doubt about Mar Saha's words, five years ago, Mar Sahar came to Meng Fan's side, this dark magician has always been loyal to Meng Fan, and saved Meng Fan's life from the enemy several times, Meng Fan has never had doubts about Mar Saha's strength and loyalty.
"Very good, since Nice is dead, then let's act according to the plan, Gruya, you lead the army to attack the camp of the royal army, attack the cavalry camp first, don't let those cavalry react......" Meng Fan turned around and gave the order to attack the subordinates in the big tent.
The French army and the Gilgidian royal army were both stationed outside the royal capital Cangyun City, and the camps of the two armies were separated by less than ten miles.
Soon, Gruja rushed into the camp of the Gilgidian royal army with 50,000 French troops without difficulty, the campfire was still burning, but the camp of the royal army was long empty.
Sensing that something was wrong, "Retreat." Gruja, who was on horseback, quickly gave the order to his men to retreat.
The roar of "boom" iron hooves was heard, and 20,000 royal cavalry cut off the path of the retreat of the French army. More than 100,000 Gilgidian royal troops came from all sides and besieged Gruya and others in the center.
"The royal army has already prepared an ambush, and the information has leaked!" The rebellion had been mastered by the royal family, and Gruja was so anxious that he ordered the panicked French soldiers to line up in defensive formation, and at the same time thought about how to break out of the encirclement of the royal army.
"Lay down your arms and surrender, and His Majesty will forgive you for your crimes. A royal general in silver armor shouted at the besieged French army.
Seeing this royal general, Grua was shocked, Ness, the commander of the Gilgidian royal army, was still alive, and Marsahar lied to Lord Claude, and this dark mage did not kill Ness at all.
"Don't panic, the shield troops are in formation, let's break ......through from the east," Gruja calmly ordered his soldiers.
Just as the Fran army was about to break through under the command of Gruya, a black mist flew through the soldiers of the two armies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the horse of the commander of the French army, Gruya.
Gruya saw the ominous black mist, raised the long sword in his hand, and Grua slashed at the black mist, but the long sword passed through the black mist without causing any damage to the black mist.
The black mist floated in front of Gruya's eyes, and a dark purple dagger shot out of the black mist, piercing Gruya's chest.
The moment he was stabbed with the dagger, Grua saw the two blood-red rays of light in the black mist.
"Mar Saha......" Grua angrily reached out to grab the black mist, but the black mist quickly dodged away.
After being stabbed with a dagger, Gruya's flesh began to wither, and he rolled over from his horse and fell, struggling on the ground in pain for a few seconds, and Gruja lost his life forever.
