Chapter 146: Secret Order

After coming out of the tent of Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian army, Duke Duraika returned to his tent, and the general of the Gilgidian royal army, Carmenor, came to the tent of Duke Duraika, who was a close confidant of Duke Duraika in the royal army.

"Cameno, go and call General Culum and General Asta to me. Dulaika, who was sitting in the tent, said, "Yes, Lord Duke. Carmeino nodded.

"Attention, Carmeno...... Don't let Claude and his men find out......" Dulaika added, "understood. Cameno left the tent.

Late at night, Kurum, the general of the royal army, quietly came to the tent of the Duke of Duraika without being accompanied by soldiers, and after entering the tent, Kurum saw that there were also Asta and General Carmeno, the commanders of the Royal Janissary Guard, in the tent.

"General Coolum, you're here, please be seated. Duke Duraica, with his pipe, smiled and stretched out his hand.

After sitting down, Kurum looked up at the king's uncle, Duke Dulaika.

"General Coolum, General Asta, you have fought hard against the Bretan Army for several days......" Duke Duraika said, taking a puff of his pipe.

"For the sake of His Majesty Landry and the Kingdom of Gilgias, this is our duty. Asta replied, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

"Hmm. Dulaika nodded appreciatively, and then Dulaika took a letter from her bosom.

"Carmenor, give the secret letter of His Majesty the King to the two generals. Dulaika handed the sealed letter to Carmenor, who placed it in the hands of General Coolum.

Glancing at Duke Dulaika, who was sitting above, Cullum opened the envelope in his hand, took out the letter paper inside and looked at it carefully, Coolum's face changed.

"General Coolum, what did the King say in the letter?" Asta asked, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, noticing the change in General Coolum's face.

Kurum slowly reached out and handed the king's secret letter to Asta, took the letter, and Asta read the secret letter brought by Duke Duraika.

"His Majesty the King has us execute Marshal Claude in the name of treason!" Asta looked up with a look of disbelief.

"General Asta, be quiet. Duke Duraica, who was sitting above, smiled and took a puff of his pipe and said, "Lord Duke, I don't understand, Marshal Claude led his army to defeat the Bretan army and recover the lands occupied by the Bretans, he ...... How can you be treasonous?" Asta asked, puzzled as he held the letter in his hand.

"Huh" puffed out a puff of white smoke from his mouth, and Dulaika looked at Asta, the commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, sitting in front of him, "General Asta, Claude Coulrou led his army to conquer the Kingdom of France half a year ago, you know this. Dulaika began.

"Of course I do. Asta nodded, "General Asta, as the commander of the Royal Janissaries, you have always stayed by His Majesty's side, and you must also know that the action of Claude, the lord of Black Rock City, to lead the army to conquer the Kingdom of France did not have the consent of His Majesty Landry at all, and it was Claude's own decision made privately.

And Claude took advantage of the tragic death of Herman, the commander of the royal army stationed in the territory of Blackstone, and instigated General Oram, who was temporarily the commander, to send troops with him to conquer the Kingdom of France......" said Dulaika.

"Lord Duke, it was the Kingdom of Fran that invaded Lord Claude's territory first. General Coolum, who was sitting on the sidelines, spoke.

"I know that the Kingdom of France started the war first. Duleka turned his head to look at General Kurum, "But even if the war started by the Kingdom of France first, Claude can ignore His Majesty the King and lead an army to the Kingdom of France without authorization......?"

Of course, Kurum was clear about the laws of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and Claude, the lord of Blackstone, had indeed crossed the line by sending troops to conquer the Kingdom of Fran without authorization.

"Of course, His Majesty Landry is not unreasonable, and if Claude led an army to conquer the Kingdom of France only in retaliation for the invasion of his own territory, His Majesty Landry would not have issued such a secret order. Duke Duraica put his pipe in his mouth and took a few puffs.

"It's not the first time that Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City, doesn't take the laws of the Kingdom of Gilgia seriously, in the territory of Blackstone City, Claude actually hooked up with the dwarves in the Fallen Pine Hills, Claude privately traded with the dwarves, and in the war with the Kingdom of France, Claude even invited the army of the dwarves......" Dulaika looked at the two royal army generals in front of him and said.

The Lord of Blackstone, the current commander of the Gilgidian royal army, Claude, hired a dwarven army in the war against the Kingdom of France, and both Kurum and Asta knew that it was precisely because of the appearance of the Dwarven army that prompted the Holy See of Light to intervene in this war, and the Holy See of Light not only drove the Gilgidian army out of the Kingdom of France, but also cut off Claude's right hand as punishment.

"General Coolum, General Asta, there's one thing you don't know. Dulaika held the brown pipe with a slight smoke in his hand, "Five years ago, Claude thought of using water attack to defeat the Brettan army on the Red Flame Plains, and Claude was also awarded the title of Lord of Blackstone City by His Majesty the King, and less than half a year after becoming the Lord of Blackstone City, Claude annexed Cold Water City and Giant Wood City around Blackstone City,

According to reliable intelligence, Claude colluded with the nobles in Coldwater City, and it was Claude who secretly sent someone to assassinate Kalia, the lord of Coldwater City, and on the side of Giant Wood City, Claude also used despicable means to control Mittel, the lord of Giant Wood City, so that Mitre had to hand over the jurisdiction of Giant Wood City to himself......" Dulaika had a fierce look in her eyes.

"General Kurum, General Asta, Claude Kuru is indeed talented and scheming, but his ambition and greed are too great, plotting to kill the noble lords of the Gilgidian Kingdom, colluding with the dwarves in the Fallen Pine Hills, and waging war with other kingdoms without authorization, such an arrogant and greedy person, how can His Majesty Landry let him continue to be active in the Gilgidian Kingdom?" said Dulaika, clutching the pipe in his hand.

After listening to the words of Duke Dulaika, both Kurum and Asta were silent, the military talent of Claude, the commander of the Gilgidian army, both Kloum and Asta, in the war with the Bretan army, Claude showed extraordinary wisdom and strategy, without Claude, the Gilgidian army would not have been able to win the war.

But Claude Kuru's talent is directly proportional to his desires, Claude will definitely not be willing to stay in the territory of Black Rock City in the northeast of Gilgias, if there is no intervention of the Holy See of Light, if Claude really controls the Kingdom of France, then will he still obey His Majesty Landry? Will he still be a lord of the Kingdom of Gilgias?

"Lord Duke, I am the commander of the Gilgidian Royal Guard, and I am only at the disposal of His Majesty Landry, since this is His Majesty's order, I will faithfully carry it out. "The Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, Asta, made his attitude clear.

"Good. Dulaika nodded, "General Kurum, what about you?" Duke Duraika turned his gaze to Kurum, the most skilled fire-type saint warrior in the royal army.

"The Coravin family has been loyal to the Pars family for generations, to His Majesty the King, Lord Duke, and I will do as His Majesty Landry wishes. Cullum said with a determined gaze.

Coolum's surname is Coravin, Coolum's grandfather served as the personal bodyguard of the Gilgidian king, Coolum's father was a general in the Gilgidian army, and Coolum's family has been loyal to the Gilgidian royal family for generations, so Coolum chose to be loyal to the Gilgidian royal family like his grandfather and father.

"On behalf of His Majesty Landry, I thank both generals for their loyalty. Duke Duraika stood up and said, "Lord Duke, we ...... When will we act?" asked Asta, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

"After the signing of an armistice with the Kingdom of Bretan. Dulaika looked down at the burning pipe in her hand, "When the war is over, we will execute His Majesty's orders to execute Claude Kuru, Lord of Blackstone City......"
