Chapter 158: Asking for help

In April 7145 of the Guangming calendar, 70,000 French troops crossed the border and invaded the Kingdom of Bretan, Norman, the lord of Jade Pot City, an important town in the north of the Bretan Kingdom, and Mans, the general of the royal army stationed in the city, chose to surrender to the Kingdom of France, and all the 60,000 French troops in Jade Pot City surrendered to the Kingdom of France.

When the news reached Rising Sun, the capital of King Bretan, Maxim Garcia, the lord of Raging Waves, was furious. Maxim was preparing to send an army north against the Kingdom of France, when another bad news followed, the Kingdom of Hilo in the south sent an army of 150,000, and the army of Hilo, led by Prince Rodriguez, the crown prince, attacked the city all the way and quickly swept towards the Rising Sun City of the Kingdom of Bretan.

In the Council Chamber of the Royal Palace, Maxim, who had just been crowned King of Bretan, was convening his ministers to discuss how to solve the crisis that the Kingdom of Bretan was currently facing.

The Kingdom of Armas, the Kingdom of Fran, and the Kingdom of Hilo, all three countries sent troops to the Kingdom of Brettan at the same time, which was undoubtedly a disaster for King Maxim of Brettan.

"Your Majesty, our main army is in the southwest against the Kingdom of Armas, and now there are only 100,000 troops left in the royal capital, and it is impossible for us to put these 100,000 troops on two fronts, the Kingdom of Fran or the Kingdom of Hilo, we must make peace with one of these two countries. In the royal chamber, a royal minister spoke.

"The Kingdom of Fran and the Kingdom of Hilo saw that the Kingdom of Armas invaded our Kingdom of Bretan, and they wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot and rob the land wealth of the Kingdom of Bretan, at this time, I am afraid they will not negotiate peace with us. Another royal minister spoke.

"That's right, the Helo Kingdom has long wanted to expand its territory, this time the Shiloh King Lutherf sent 150,000 troops, which is almost all the strength that the Helo Kingdom can handle, and the Fran Kingdom will not negotiate peace with us, the Fran Kingdom has just absorbed the 60,000 rebels in the Jade Pot City, and now these Francos are in full swing. King Maxim's brother Hobley spoke.

Hobley, who had served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the royal family, had now been appointed Prime Minister by Maxim of the Kingdom of Bretan, and Hobley stood at the front of the throne, alongside his brother Maxim, in the high platform above the Council Chamber.

Sitting behind Hobley, King Maxim of Bretan, had a gloomy face, and it was no wonder that Maxim was in such a bad mood, he had just become king and was facing a large-scale invasion of three countries.

"Your Majesty, we can try to ask the Kingdom of Gilgia for help. A voice rang out, and all eyes in the council chamber turned to the brown-haired man who spoke, Retton, the general of the Bretan Army.

When Maxim, Lord of Angry Waves, launched a rebellion to capture the royal capital of Rising Sun, Leighton was not in the royal capital, and when Maxim killed King Brun Sias, most of the royal army generals of the Kingdom of Bretan chose to submit to Maxim, Lord of Angry Waves, and supported Maxim's coronation as king.

Leighton had long been disappointed in King Brunn Sias of Bretan, and King Brun, who was irascient and suspicious, removed the well-known commander of the Bretan army, Vonsis Varuan, and appointed the mediocre and incompetent crown prince Christian as the commander of the Bretan army, which led to the almost complete destruction of the 500,000 Bretan army in the Kingdom of Gilgias.

When Maxim sent an army to capture the royal capital of Rising Sun and kill King Brun, Leighton also chose to support the coronation of Maxim, Lord of Raging Waves.

"Asking for help from the Kingdom of Gilgias?General Liedon, how could you have such an idea?" King Maxim, seated on the throne, stared at the brown-haired general below.

"Your Majesty, you must also know that the man who is now controlling the Kingdom of Farrand is Claude Kuru, a former traitor of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and it is this person who led the army to invade our Kingdom of Brettan......" Lieton said as he looked at the king above.

"Yes, the commander of the French army is Auston, but it is actually Claude who is in command of the French army. Hobley, the prime minister standing in front of the king, nodded.

"Your Majesty, Claude is a very talented military person, not long ago, he took the Jade Pot City without blood, and recruited 60,000 rebels in the Jade Pot City, if we send troops to fight the French army, I am afraid we may not be able to defeat the French army commanded by Claude. Although the royal ministers in the council chamber lost face to what Lieton said, no one refuted it.

The army of the Kingdom of Brettan had long suffered at the hands of Claude, and the 500,000 Bretan army was defeated by the Gilgidians, and even the commander Christian was buried in the Mirror Lake of the Kingdom of Gilgias.

"Lieton, the Kingdom of Gilgias has just been at war with us, how can they help our Kingdom of Bretan?" said King Maxim.

"Your Majesty, Claude was once the lord of Black Rock City in the Kingdom of Gilgias, and also served as the commander of the Gilgidian army, Claude has made great contributions to the Kingdom of Gilgias, but because this person's ambition is too great, the Gilgidian royal family is worried that Claude will not be able to control Claude, so they want to kill him, but Claude was aware in advance, and during the armistice agreement signed with our Kingdom of Bretan, Claude secretly escaped from the barracks and entered the Kingdom of France with several cronies.

It is impossible for Claude not to harbor hatred for the Gilgidian royal family, and the Gilgidian royal family must also be worried about whether Claude will eventually attack Gilgia with the army of the Kingdom of France. The Gilgidian royal family certainly does not want to see Claude in the Franco-kingdom, and if we ask for help from the Gilgidian kingdom, the Gilgidian royal family should help us deal with this former traitor. Lieton spoke his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I think the plan that General Lieton said is feasible, there is a deep grudge between the Gilgidian royal family and Claude, the Gilgidian royal family will choose to help us in order to eliminate the hidden scourge of Claude, as long as the Gilgidian Kingdom can send troops to attack the Fran Kingdom, then Claude will have to withdraw his troops from the Bretan Kingdom, and we will be able to deal with the army of the Helo Kingdom with all our might. Prime Minister Hobley turned to his brother Maxim and said.

He bowed his head and muttered for a moment, "Hobley, you immediately draft an edict and send an envoy to Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias, to ask the royal family of Gilgias to send troops to the Kingdom of Fran, as long as the royal family of Gilgias agrees to help us hold the Kingdom of Fran, I will give the five hundred miles of land in the northwest to the royal family of Gilgias." Maxim instructed his younger brother, Prime Minister Hobley.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Hobley bowed. "Lieton. Maxim looked at the brown-haired general again.

"Lydon, I have appointed you the commander of the 100,000 troops stationed in the royal capital, and you will lead this army to the south against the army of the Kingdom of Hilo. Maxim began.

"Your Majesty Xie trusts. Lieton bowed respectfully to the king seated on the throne.

The envoys sent by King Maxim of Brettan soon left the Rising Sun City and rushed towards Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias, but no one expected that at this moment, a thrilling power struggle was being staged in Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias.
