In the camp of the Gilgidian royal army, "Lord Claude, I have already warned you not to attack the French army stationed in Huquan Mountain, why do you insist on going your own way?" In the big tent, Herman, the commander of the royal army, stared angrily at Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, who was sitting in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Herman, the Franks have taken advantage of the war between the Kingdom of Gilgias and the Kingdom of Bretan to invade our territory, and as the lord of the three cities in the northeast of the Kingdom of Gilgias, of course I will fight for the glory of the Kingdom of Gilgias. Meng Fan replied calmly.

"For the glory of the Kingdom of Gilgias, Lord Claude, if you are really thinking about the Kingdom of Gilgias, you should not provoke the Kingdom of Fran at this time. Herman said coldly.

"General Herman, the French army has invaded Huquan Mountain, their desires will definitely not be satisfied, the French will invade the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias step by step, we should teach these invaders a lesson, let them know that the Kingdom of Gilgias will never compromise with the invaders. Meng Fan said righteously.

"You ......" Herman was very annoyed when he saw Meng Fan's introspective attitude, but it was not easy to attack, after all, the other party was fighting under the banner of protecting the territory and glory of the Gilgidian Kingdom.

"General Herman, the Franks have invaded Lord Claude's territory, and Lord Claude has done so for a reason, since we have already fought with the Francois army, the most important thing now is to discuss how to deal with the next move of the Kingdom of France. Olam, the adjutant of the royal army, stood up and said round.

Glancing at Oram, Herman stood up from his chair, "Lord Claude, the commander of the French army, Gerald, has arrived at the Red Maple Fortress, in order to resist the invasion of the Francois, I have decided to lead the army to Huquan Mountain, and set up defenses in the area of Huquan Mountain to meet the Francois, I have informed the Marquis of Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, about the situation here, and Lord Lewin promised to send the territory army to reinforce it." ”

Herman stared at the dark-haired man sitting in front of him, "Lord Claude, I want you to put the territorial army of Blackstone City under my command. Herman began.

In the laws of the Kingdom of Kyrgias, in the event of a war, the generals of the royal army have the right to conscript the armies of nearby lords to cooperate in the battle.

"No problem, General Herman, as long as I can repel the Francois, I am willing to cooperate with you fully. Meng Fan nodded with a smile.

Herman wanted to control the army of his territory, Meng Fan agreed, anyway, his goal had been achieved, the Kingdom of Gilgia was about to break out a war with the Kingdom of Fran, and when this war came, Herman's death was approaching.

――――――――――――――

Kingdom of Fran, Red Maple Fortress.

"Marshal, it was the incompetence of his subordinates who lost to the Kyrgias. Half-kneeling in the council hall of the Red Maple Fortress, Guterny, the general of the French army, pleaded guilty with guilt.

Above the council chamber sat a white-haired man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and this white-haired man was Gérald, the commander of the French army.

There were several French generals standing in the council chamber, and Sophia, the beautiful head of the Silver Knights, stood beside her husband Gerald.

"Guterny, how many men have your troops lost?" asked Gerald, the commander of the French army, who was sitting above, with a flat expression.

"The 30,000 troops brought by his subordinates were lost in Huquan Mountain...... Nearly 10,000 soldiers. Guternigi replied with difficulty. "Are you sure the army that attacked the camp that night was the Blackstone Territory Army?" Gerald looked at the kneeling general in the council chamber.

"Marshal, my subordinates promise that it is the army of Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City, if the army of the Kyrgynian royal family also comes that night, then we will be surrounded and annihilated in Huquan Mountain. Guterney looked up and said.

"So...... Attacking you is the decision of Claude, Lord of Blackstone. Gerald touched his chin and whispered.

"Marshal, the subordinates did not find out at first that the Kyrgyians had dug a tunnel in the valley, and some Kyrgidian soldiers emerged from the valley through the tunnel, and the subordinates kept most of the soldiers outside the barracks, and when the subordinates gathered the soldiers to prepare to encircle and suppress the Kyrgynians who broke into the barracks, a large number of Kyrgidian soldiers rushed from the front of the barracks......" Guterny informed the commander of the French army, Geral, of his defeat.

"Black Rock City is two days away from Huquan Mountain, and General Guterny has only captured the gold mine on the west side of Huquan Mountain before it is attacked by the army of Black Rock City's territory in less than four days...... Gerald, this Claude may have been ready to be the enemy of our kingdom of France. Standing beside Gerald, Sophia, dressed in a silver knight's suit, leaned sideways and spoke.

Looking up at his wife, Gerald rose from his chair. "Guterni. Gerald motioned to the bald general kneeling in the council chamber to get up, "You leave 20,000 troops to defend the Red Maple Fortress, and then take the rest of the people with me to Huquan Mountain." Gerald ordered. "Yes, Marshal. Guterny bowed.

"Gerald. Sophia took a gentle step forward to her husband's side, looking at the beautiful wife in front of her gently, "Sophia, let's go together to meet this Lord of Blackstone who defeated Vonsey Varuan, and I want to see what kind of ability Claude Kuru is capable of." ”

Soon after, the steel gate under the Red Maple Fortress opened, and the 70,000-French army, led by Marshal Gerald, marched mightily towards Huquan Mountain, two hundred miles to the west.

――――――――――――――

Huquan Mountain, originally Gilgia and France were divided by this mountain range that stretched for dozens of miles, the west side belonged to the Gilgia Kingdom, and the east side belonged to the Fran Kingdom.

Not long ago, Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, led his army to defeat the French army that invaded his territory, and occupied the entire Huquan Mountain, on which an army of 100,000 horses and horses was now hoarded. This army is composed of 50,000 Gilgidian royal troops, 30,000 Blackstone City Territory troops, and 20,000 Ziyang City Territory troops.

When he learned that the Farrans were about to invade the Kingdom of Gilgias, Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun, sent his nephew Dorne with 20,000 territorial troops to reinforce him.

On Huquan Mountain, in the big tent of the Gilgidian military camp, Herman, the commander of the royal army, sat above, Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, and Dorne Nolan, the commander of the territory army of Ziyang City, and his subordinates sat on both sides.

"According to the report from the spies ahead, Gerald, the commander of the French army, has led 70,000 troops from the Red Maple Fortress towards Huquan Mountain, and there is still about half a day's journey to reach Huquan Mountain. Herman, who was sitting above the barracks, spoke. "Although the terrain of Huquan Mountain is not precipitous, it is not easy for the Franks to storm Huquan Mountain under the persistence of our army......"

A few days ago, after the Gilgidian army arrived at Huquan Mountain, Herman ordered Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, to garrison the east side of Huquan Mountain with his 30,000 territorial troops, Dorn, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, to garrison the west side of Huquan Mountain with 20,000 troops, and Herman's 50,000 troops to garrison the top of Huquan Mountain.

"Lord Claude, you said that you would fight the Franks at all costs to protect the glory of the Kingdom of Gilgias, and now that the Francois army has come, I hope that Lord Claude will fulfill your promise. Herman, who was sitting in the big tent, looked at Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City.

"General Herman, please rest assured, I will definitely defend my position to the death, and will never let the French army set foot on Huquan Mountain. Meng Fan said with a firm gaze.

"Very well, Lord Claude, if you can defeat the Franks this time, I will certainly show your majesty your merits. Herman nodded appreciatively.
