Chapter 170: Secret
Six hundred miles west of Ziyang City, tide valley forest.
An army rests outside the Tidal Valley forest for a brief recuperation, with a white horse flag flying on a blue background in the barracks, and a white horse raising its hooves high into the sky, the family crest of the Gilgidian royal family of Pars, led by the recently enthroned Dulaika Pars.
Now there is another territory in the Kingdom of Gilgias that also hangs a white horse flag on a blue background, and the flag representing the royal family can only be used by the king.
Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, supports Prince Warren, the son of the previous king of Gilgias, Landry, and only by eliminating all the forces that support Prince Warren can Dulaika sit on the throne with peace of mind.
"Hey, have you heard? Claude Kuru, Lord of Blackstone City, has returned to Purple Sun City from the Kingdom of Farran. A soldier said as he threw a few pieces of wood he had collected to make a fire on the ground.
"Yes, I've heard that Claude has brought 50,000 troops from the Kingdom of France. Another soldier, who was crouching on the ground preparing the iron frame of the stove, nodded.
"Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, accepted Claude, and I heard that Lewin also made Claude the commander of the army. Another soldier leaned over and interjected.
"If Claude is the commander of the rebels, then we will be miserable, Claude has never lost on the battlefield, and half a million Brettan troops have been defeated by him. The soldier who had gathered firewood at first lamented.
"Be quiet, the officer hears you're going to be whipped. The soldier crouching on the ground hurriedly whispered a warning to the companion.
In the big tent of the military camp, the king of Gilgias, Dulaika, who had just ascended the throne, sat on a chair, and several generals stood in the big tent. Some of these generals were from the royal army, while others were commanders of the territorial army.
After Dulaika became the king, he decided to send troops to attack Ziyang City, most of the lords of the Gilgia Kingdom sent troops to support His Majesty the King, and among the generals in the big tent was a tall man in silver armor, and this silver-armored man was the commander of the territory army of Liyang City, Kodi.
A few days ago, Cicela Miró, the lord of Dawn City, who had been oscillating between King Dulaika and Prince Warren for a long time, finally decided to send his most powerful subordinate Cody to join Dulaika's camp with 30,000 territorial troops.
Dulaika was very satisfied with Cicela's performance, and made a promise to Cicela Miró, the lord of Dawn City, that even if Levin was Cicela's uncle, it would never affect the Miró family's rule over Dawn City.
"Your Majesty, the news has been confirmed, the traitor Claude is indeed in Ziyang City, and Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, has appointed Claude as the commander of the army. A royal general reported to Dulaika.
Sitting in a chair, Dulaika frowned, and the return of the traitor Claude had cast a haze over Dulaika's army, and the officers and men of the army were deeply afraid of the name Claude.
"Your Majesty, even if Claude brings 50,000 troops, the army in Ziyang City is only about 120,000, and we have an advantage in terms of strength. General Camenor spoke, and Carmeno had now been appointed commander of the royal army by King Dulaika.
"Claude is a cunning man, Carmenor, and you've seen him too. Dulaika looked up and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, the reason why Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, will lose to Claude is because Cristian is careless and eager to win, as long as we calmly deal with the enemy, advance to Ziyang City step by step, and do not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of, then even if Claude works hard, he will not be able to break our army. Camenor said, glancing at the generals in the big tent.
Due to the return of Meng Fan, the soldiers of Dulaika's army were generally worried and afraid, and Meng Fan, who had served as the commander of the Gilgidian army, defeated the famous general of the Bretian army, Voncis Valuan, and led the army to conquer the Kingdom of France.
Camenno sensed this danger, so even though he knew that Meng Fan was a terrible opponent, Cammeno still stood up and cheered for his side.
"General Carmeno is right, Your Majesty, although Claude is very strategic, but after all, there are only 120,000 troops in Ziyang City, and Claude can only defeat us through two ways, send an army to conduct a sneak attack or break our army into pieces and then attack. If our whole army is reduced to an iron plate, and is not tempted and provoked by the enemy, then Claude will not be able to achieve victory. Asta spoke, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard.
In the rebellion of the royal capital, Asta supported Duke Dulaika, and Dulaika ascended the throne as the queen, giving Asta the title of hereditary marquis, and promised Asta that once he took Ziyang City, he would eliminate Prince Levin and Warren and others, and let Asta serve as the lord of Ziyang City.
"Well, you're right, even if Levin had brought Claude in, he wouldn't have won the battle from me, Warren was not qualified to inherit the throne at all, he was just the son of Freya's slut who had an affair with his squire. Dulaika stood up and said with a sneer.
Dulaika was not telling all slanderous lies, and Dulaika did have evidence of an affair with Queen Freya, the wife of the previous king, Landry.
When Prince Warren and Queen Freya fled from the palace, Dulaika ordered the palace to be cordoned off and tortured the maids in the palace, and Dulaika received the unexpected good news that Queen Freya was not as noble and undesecrated as she seemed.
King Randry of Gilgias was wounded in a war with the Bretans eleven years earlier, and since then, Landry and Queen Freya have remained in love, but Landry has never stayed in the queen's palace.
Freya was only 19 years old when she married King Landry, and only a year later Freya was never favored by the king again, and as night fell, the palace was deserted, and as a woman, Freya could not escape the pursuit of the most primitive human desires.
In this way, Freya had a forbidden relationship with Yorick, the attendant officer next to her. During the rebellion in the royal capital, Yorick did not flee the palace with Freya and was caught by Dulaika.
Dulaika originally wanted to force Yorick to make his affair with the queen public, but he didn't expect Yorick to bite his tongue and kill himself.
With the loss of her most important witness, Dulaika has no way to prove that Queen Freya is a **depraved woman.
However, there are still a few people in the palace who know that Her Royal Highness has a taboo relationship with the chamberlain Yoric, and Dulaika asks these people to hype up how Queen Freya has fornicated with young men in the royal capital, and it is important to convince the people of the royal capital that Freya, the wife of the previous king Landry, is a good person.
