In mid-December 7144, Duke Dulaika, the representative of the Gilgidian royal family, and the representative of the royal family of Brettan signed an armistice agreement in the Red Flame Fortress, and the signing of the armistice agreement was witnessed by the envoy sent by the Holy See of Light, according to the agreement, the Brettan Kingdom returned all lands, including the Red Flame Fortress and the Thundering Fortress, to the Gilgidian Kingdom.

Neither the Kingdom of Gilgias nor the Kingdom of Bretan could initiate war for ten years, and this armistice was protected by a sacred oath, and anyone who violated it would be severely punished by the Holy See of Light.

Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgi Runner-up Army, did not attend the signing ceremony of the armistice agreement, and Meng Fan suddenly expressed his opposition to peace talks with the Bretan Kingdom before the armistice agreement was signed.

King Landry decided to sign an armistice with the Kingdom of Bretan, and although Meng Fan chose to obey, he did not enter the Red Flame Fortress to participate in the signing ceremony of the armistice, and Duke Dulaika was solely responsible for the signing of the armistice.

After a busy day, Duke Dulaika, the representative of the Kyrgynian royal family, who had signed the armistice agreement, and General Kurum, General Asta, and others came out of the Red Flame Fortress occupied by the Bretans and returned to the Gilgidian military camp outside the fortress.

"Lord Duke, according to the terms of the armistice, the Bretans will withdraw their troops from the Red Flame Fortress and the Thundering Fortress within five days. Asta, the commander of the Gilgidian royal guard, who was riding on a horse, spoke.

"Well, we'll be taking over the Red Flame Fortress and the Thunder Fortress in a moment. Dulaika, who was sitting on a white horse, nodded happily.

"General Coolum, General Asta, when we return to the barracks, we will carry out His Majesty's secret order. Holding the reins in both hands, Dulaika said as she looked at Coolum and Asta beside her.

"Lord Duke, you've got a plan. Kurum stared at Duke Duraika beside him.

"Claude served as the commander of the Gilgidian army, defeated the Bretans, and recovered the land of the Gilgidian kingdom, his merits are outstanding, we can't deal with him in the normal way, just after the war to dismiss him and execute him, this will cause a commotion in the army, and will cause discontent among the people......" Dulaika knew that now Meng Fan had a high prestige in the eyes of the army and the people of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and it would definitely not be possible to convince the public to convict and execute Meng Fan publicly.

"But fortunately, Claude doesn't have any martial arts or magic, so we can find an appropriate opportunity to divert his cronies and kill him, and then reveal the guilt of Claude to the outside world. "Dulaika's method of dealing with Meng Fan is exactly the same as Meng Fan expected.

"Your Excellency. When Dulaika and the others returned to the barracks, General Carmeno, who had remained in the barracks, came to greet them.

"Carmenor, Marshal Claude...... Where are you now?" asked Dulaika as she got off her mount, "Lord Duke, after you went to the Red Flame Fortress early this morning to sign the armistice, Marshal Claude left the barracks to take a break outside. Carmeno replied.

Since learning that the Gilgidian king Landry was preparing to sign an armistice agreement with the Kingdom of Bretan, Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian army, has become less strict with his army, and Meng Fan himself often takes a few of his cronies to go outside the barracks to relax.

The war is about to end, there is nothing wrong with Meng Fan's behavior of relieving tension, Dulaika can't restrain Meng Fan's behavior, if he forcibly lets Meng Fan stay in the barracks, it may arouse the suspicion of the other party.

"There's nothing wrong with the army in the territory of Black Rock City. Dulaika handed her horse to the guard and asked, "No, Lord Duke, the army of the Black Rock City Territory is in the barracks as usual. Carmeno replied that Carmeno's mission in the barracks was to monitor the movements of Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian Army, and the army of the Black Rock Territory. Because, in the barracks, the only one who completely obeyed Meng Fan's orders was the army of the Black Rock City Territory.

"Hmm. Dulaika nodded and turned around, Dulaika looked at the two royal generals, Coolum and Asta, "The armistice has been signed, we will do it tonight, in accordance with His Majesty's secret order from Landry, to kill Claude Kuru." Dulaika spoke slowly and solemnly, and Kurum and Asta looked at each other and nodded.

Late at night, Dulaika and the others, who had already made adequate preparations, never saw Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilji Runner-up Army, return to the barracks.

"What's going on?why hasn't Claude come back to the barracks?" said Duraika as she walked restlessly in her tent, "Lord Duke, Marshal Claude left the barracks this morning with only five or six men, and he probably won't go far." General Carmeno said from the side.

"Doesn't he usually go out for a walk and return to the barracks before dark, why ...... today" Duraika stared at Carmenor, "Lord Duke, Marshal Claude, he won't have sensed His Majesty's intentions." Asta, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, whispered.

"Impossible, only His Majesty's secret order is known to the Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness the Queen and I, how could Claude detect it in advance?" said Dulaika with a frown.

Unbeknownst to Dulaika, King Landry of Gilgias, who had died of illness, the affairs of the palace were handled by Prime Minister Halson and Queen Freya, who believed that they were absolutely loyal to His Majesty.

"Lord Duke, the territory army of Blackstone City is still in the barracks, if Claude really senses something, then he should leave with the territory army. General Asta said.

"Not necessarily, the movement of the territorial army is too big, and if Claude wants to escape, it is safest to take only a few cronies with him. Dulaika looked at the royal generals in front of her.

"We wait until dawn, and if Claude has not returned to the barracks at dawn, we will send troops to hunt him down. Dulaika said in a deep voice.

Eastern part of the Kingdom of Gilgias, the Firmament Mountains.

A group of six people walked in the firmament mountain range, this group of people was Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian army, and several cronies, in addition to Tiberius, Marsaha and Gruya, Meng Fan also brought two attendants, a total of six people. It had been three days since they left the Gilgidian military camp, and not long ago, Meng Fan and the others had entered the Firmament Mountain Range.

Meng Fan was ready to cross the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range and advance towards the Kingdom of Fran in the northeast of the Kingdom of Gilgias. There are only two ways to go from the Red Flame Plain, where the army is stationed, to the Kingdom of Fran, one is through Ziyang City, and then through Meng Fan's territory, Black Rock City, Giant Wood City, to reach the Kingdom of France. The other is to cross the Sky Dome Mountains to reach the Kingdom of Fran.

The road through Ziyang City was obviously much more convenient, and the road in the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range was steep, and it would take nearly twice as long to reach the destination of Meng Fan and the others, the Kingdom of Fran.

But after thinking about it, Meng Fan still chose to take the road of the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, Ziyang City is the territory of Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, Lewin is very loyal to the Gilgidian royal family, Meng Fan is worried that if Ziyang City has already taken precautions, then his party may not be able to pass.

"Lord Claude, the road in the Heavenly Dome Mountains...... It's really hard to walk. Stepping on the thick snow, Tiberius led his horse effortlessly on the rugged mountain path, which was so steep that the horses could only lead them, and no man could ride on them.

"Tiberius, I'm afraid we'll have to walk in this mountain for more than ten days. Meng Fan in front of him turned his head and said with a smile.

Located in the eastern part of the Gilgidian Kingdom, the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range separates the northeastern and southern territories of Gilgias, and the most convenient way to enter the hinterland of the kingdom from the northeast of Gilgias is through the territory of Ziyang City, five years ago, the general of the Bretan Army, Lieton, led the army to invade from the northeast of the Gilgian Kingdom, because Lieton failed to take the Ziyang City, which held the northeast main road, so he had to lead the army over the Tianqiong Mountain Range to the south of the Fanxin Lake defense line, and the culprit who caused Lieton to fail to take Ziyang City was Meng Fan, who had just crossed from the earth。

"Although the road in the Sky Dome Mountain Range is difficult, it is the safest, the lord of Purple Sun City, Levin Nolan, is the old brother of King Landry Pars, Levin has long believed that I will pose a threat to the Gilgidian royal family, if Levin intercepts us in Purple Sun City, it will be troublesome. Meng Fan said as he walked with the horse.

"Chatter, Lord Claude, you are right, when Dulaika and the others found out that you had fled, their first reaction must have been to send someone to Ziyang City to inform Levin Nolan, we are safest to take the road of the Sky Dome Mountains, and the Gilgian royal family will not be able to catch us in this vast mountain forest at all. Mar Saha, who was leading the horse behind Meng Fan, let out a hoarse laugh.

"Lord Claude, wait for us to enter the Kingdom of Fran, the royal family of France...... Will you accept us?" asked Gruya, the commander of the Blackstone Territory Army, who was walking at the forefront, as he turned around.

"Of course it will, I single-handedly put King Faren on the throne, Faren is still young and has no personal government, but his mother, Queen Mother Naya, will not refuse me to enter Bibo City. Meng Fan looked up at the front of the mountain road and said.

"Chatter, Mistress Claude, there is one more person in Bibo City who is absolutely loyal to you. The dark mage Mar Sahar said with a smile, Meng Fan knew that Mar Sahar was talking about the current auxiliary minister of the Kingdom of France, believed in the dark god, and like Mar Saha, who came out of the pine hills was the most faithful believer of the dark god.
