On a hillside on the west side of Yuanjing Lake, Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilji Runner-up Army, rode on a black warhorse, and Kurum swung a shocking knife that shattered nearly two-thirds of the ice sheet on Yuanjing Lake, and thousands of Bretan soldiers fell into the lake, and before they could struggle a few times, they were frozen by the cold and biting water, and soon sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Chatter, what a magnificent sight. The dark mage beside Meng Fan, who was also riding on horseback, let out a hoarse laugh.

"Retreat, retreat. On the Mirror Lake, the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, Orrick, anxiously urged the soldiers to withdraw to the east shore, because Orrick had been prepared, when pursuing the Gilgias, Orrick and his Flying Tiger Battalion cavalry had been staying in the rear of the team, so Orrick and others were very close to the east shore, and finally Orrick and all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Brettan Army escaped from the Mirror Lake.

"Lord Claude, some of the enemy have fled. Tiberius pointed to the more than 10,000 Bretan soldiers who had escaped from the Mirror Lake. "Well, the battle plan has been successful, and these more than 10,000 fish that have slipped through the net will not affect the overall situation. Meng Fan smiled and nodded.

"Someone, go and inform General Kurum and General Asta, and ask them to quickly assemble their army and march towards Lanyue City. After giving the order, Meng Fan waved his horsewhip and rode his horse down the hillside.

"You see, Lord Tiberius, Lord Claude saw his army win a great victory, but he did not show any smugness. The dark mage Malzahar turned to Tiberius beside him.

"Lord Marsaha, have you won a few wars?" Tiberius replied as he looked at the black-robed man sitting on horseback, patting his mount and hurriing down the hill.

Standing on the hillside on horseback, Marsaha's blood-red eyes stared at the black-haired man who was far away, "Chatter, Claude Kuru, you are indeed the one prophesied in the Dark Sacred Scriptures, who can open up a new era in the Qinglan Continent...... Son. Marsaha's blood-red eyes glowed with ferventness.

In Lanyue City, Orrick, the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, who was lucky enough to escape from Yuanjing Lake, returned to Lanyue City with more than 10,000 soldiers.

The first thing Orrick did after entering Lanyue City was to release the Bretan Army general Lieton from prison.

"General, the Gilgiians led us to the Mirror Lake, and then shattered the ice cap on the Mirror Lake, and His Highness Christian and most of the soldiers fell into the Mirror Lake......" In the Lord's Mansion of Lanyue City, Eurik reported to Lieton the news of the crushing defeat of the Bretan army.

"His Royal Highness Christian...... Didn't you come back?" asked Lieton, who was wearing his armor, with his back to Orik.

"General, His Highness Christian was at the front of the line when he pursued the Kyrgias, and he must have fallen into the lake...... Dead. Eurik replied.

Tying a long sword around his waist, Lieton turned around, "How many people have fled with you?" Ledon asked, looking at his subordinates who had been following him for many years, "In addition to our Flying Tiger Battalion, there are more than 10,000 soldiers. Eurik clenched his fists, "Christian, an idiot, our army is all buried in his hands. Orrick couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and began to curse Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army.

"Orik, where are the Gilgidian troops now?" Liton continued to ask in a flat tone, "One hundred thousand Kyrgynian troops are now heading towards Lanyue City, and they should be able to arrive in Lanyue City early tomorrow morning." Eurik replied.

After listening to Orrick's words, Leighton thought for a moment and raised his feet and walked outside the house.

"General, we ...... Are you going to fight the Gilgias?" Eurik looked at General Lieton in front of him.

"No, we retreat, retreat to the Red Flame Fortress in the rear, Orik, this war ...... It's over. Litton whispered and walked briskly out of the room.

In the royal palace of Rising Sun City, the royal capital of the Bretan Kingdom, an old man with gray hair sat in the throne, "Really...... What a useless piece of waste. The gray-haired old man angrily swept the wine glasses and plates on the table to the ground, because he was too anxious and angry, causing pain in his chest, and the gray-haired old man couldn't help but show a painful look and grabbed his chest with one hand.

This nearly seventy-year-old man is the king of the Kingdom of Bretan, Brun Sias, just received a battle report from the front, 200,000 Bretan army was attacked by the Gilgias in the Mirror Lake, the commander of the Bretan army Christian and more than 180,000 soldiers fell into the Mirror Lake and died.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the Kyrgyians have occupied Lanyue City, and now the 100,000 Kyrgynian army is heading towards the Red Flame Fortress, and the most important thing for us at the moment is to find a way to resist the upcoming counteroffensive of the Kyrgynians......" Mister, the prime minister of the Bretan Kingdom, spoke.

In addition to Brun Sias, the king of the Kingdom of Bretan, several other royal ministers in the royal palace also stayed here.

"Yes, Your Majesty, 100,000 Kyrgynian troops have already marched towards the Red Flame Fortress, the Red Flame Fortress now only has General Lieton and 20,000 soldiers, once the Red Flame Fortress is broken by the Kyrgidians, then our Bretan Kingdom will be in danger. War Minister Novallen said with a nervous expression.

Just half a month ago, the Kingdom of Armas located in the southwest of the Kingdom of Bretan sent an army of 300,000 to invade the Kingdom of Bretan, and the general of the Bretan Army, Shaloman, took an army of 100,000 to block the attack of the Kingdom of Amas, but the bad news came one after another, first the defeat outside the Autumn Leaves Forest, the Bretan army of the expedition to the Kingdom of Gilgias suffered heavy losses, and soon after, the Bretan army fell into the calculations of the Gilgiians in the Mirror Lake, and a large number of soldiers, including the commander Christian, were killed in the Mirror Lake.

The crushing defeat on Yuanjing Lake meant that the 500,000 troops of the Bretan Kingdom on the expedition to the Gilgidian Kingdom had almost all been wiped out, and the Gilgidian army had recovered Lanyue City and was now heading towards the Red Flame Fortress east of the Fanxin Lake defensive line.

"Mister, how many more troops can we muster now?" asked King Brun Sias, who was sitting on the throne, looking at Prime Minister Mister with a furious expression.

"Your Majesty, the royal army now only has 50,000 Praetorian Guards near the royal capital, and if we collect troops from the lords of various places, we will ...... It should be possible to assemble a territorial army of 100,000 horses in half a month. Prime Minister Mister replied.

"Spread my will, let the lords quickly gather the territory army and send it to the Red Flame Fortress. Bren waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not enough to just recruit the territorial army from the lords. The Minister of War, Novalen, spoke, and upon hearing Novalen's words, Brun turned his gaze to the Minister of War.

"Your Majesty, the new commander of the Gilgidian army, Claude, is resourceful, he has defeated the army of more than 400,000 led by His Royal Highness Christian with only 100,000 troops, and if there is no general who can match Claude's military talent to command the army, I am afraid that ...... Our army still has difficulty avoiding defeat. War Minister Novallen said.

"What do you mean, Novlen?" asked Buren, staring at the Minister of War, "Your Majesty, we should reactivate Voncis Valuan, who alone can stop the Kyrgysian offensive. Novallen saluted.

After listening to Novalen's words, the old King Brun Sias, who was sitting above, had a gloomy look in his eyes, "No, I can't use Vonsis anymore. Bren shook his head resolutely.

"It was I who removed Voncis from the post of commander, and now that Christian has suffered a crushing defeat in the Kingdom of Gilgias, and I have transferred Vonsis back to the army, what is my face, and what is the glory of the Sias family? People will think that only Voncis Varouan is the hero of the Bretan Kingdom, and Vonsis's prestige will become extremely prominent in the Bretan Kingdom......" Brun clenched his fists, and the wrinkled back of his hand showed green tendons like dry branches.

Several royal ministers standing in the palace looked at each other, as the courtiers of King Brun Sias, of course these royal ministers knew what the old king was worried about, the Varouan family is a famous family in the Bretan Kingdom, and Vonsis Varouan has the reputation of "undefeated military gods", King Brun Sias is afraid that the Varouan family will replace the Sias family as the ruler of the Bretan Kingdom.
