Quintina's heart was a little uneasy, and the stern-looking Zephnaia in front of her was not the one she was familiar with. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Annabel leaves, the stern Zephnaia also exudes a sense of loneliness, which makes Quintina feel uncomfortable that is difficult to explain.

Zephnaia straightened her clothes and got down on one knee. Except for the few times they had just met, Zephnaia had never used the bow bow when the two met alone.

"I remember, I told you before, that Burr has a lot of shortcomings, and he is a bit of a grinder, but if you give him a lot of time, he will definitely get the job done. Of course, I forgot to tell you that you have to give him absolute trust. It was my fault. ”

"No, Zephnaia, it's not your fault that I didn't follow your advice and believed the rumors. Quintina crouched down as well, clasping Zefnaia's strong palms with both hands.

Zephnaia shook her head, "Your Highness the Queen, I ...... Ever since I became a knight, Burr has been with me, and the two of us have joined the Royal Knights and then come to this day. The two of us have known each other for over twenty years, and I really have a hard time believing that he has left me...... Please forgive my stubbornness, Your Highness the Queen, I ...... We're leaving you, and the two of us may see each other soon, or never. ”

"No!" Quintina held Zephnaia's hand tightly, "It's my fault, I will never question you again, I definitely believe you 100%, please don't go!"

Quintina's face was full of tears, and she wept bitterly.

"Your Royal Highness, the front line is tight, and I want to return quickly. This time Gallup is menacing, sending all the main forces in an attempt to swallow us. You...... Please find a way out. Zefonaia broke Quintina's hand, stood up, and bowed deeply to Quintina, "Your Royal Highness, take care, I'll go down first." ”

Quintina's tears flowed down like a burst flood. Looking at Zefnaia's vanishing figure, Quintina knew she would never get Zefonaia again.

"The Queen Mother. ”

Outside the side hall door, a little boy shouted timidly.

Kuntina looked at the little boy with rain, then put her head between her arms and cried loudly.

......

Gallup marched south, conquering three cities in less than a week, and his next target was Dartu, Madig's second-largest city.

Zephnaia also concentrated the main force of the knights to Tucheng early, hoping to fight to the death with Gallup at this time.

Inside Datu, the atmosphere was tense and the residents knew that the situation was urgent, so outside of the normal three meals a day, few people went out, and all the roads were deserted and looked particularly depressed. Only the soldiers are still carrying out their usual daily patrols.

"How long can the current grain last? Zefonaia tapped on the table, asking the Archon in front of him.

"Lord Zephnaia, our food could last for three months, but there have been deserters entering Datu City, so our food consumption has gradually increased. The archon lowered his head and looked at the notes in front of him.

"How many deserters have entered the city?" Zefonaia asked his newly appointed lieutenant, a young military general named Bernard.

"I'll see, uh, my lord, there are five thousand three hundred and twenty-one deserters coming in, and if you add the soldiers we've gathered, well, it's fifty-five thousand. Bernard looked up at his idol since he was a child and said with an excited expression.

"Fifty-five thousand...... You check the previous intel and see how many troops Gallup has dispatched. Zephnaia asked.

"My lord, do you want all of them to march together in three lines?" Bernard looked up at Zephnaia.

Zefonaia nodded deeply: "All of them." ”

Bernard looked down and looked at all the troops, and got an approximate number, "There are ninety-six thousand in all, of which ten thousand knights are...... It's the Royal Knights. Bernard stole a glance at Zephnaia, fearing that Zephnaia would be angry.

Zefnaia kept biting her thumb and looking at the map, as if muttering to herself, as if to say to everyone in the room, "Ninety-six thousand...... Combined, all the areas controlled by Gallup should be no more than 100,000 people. If one more force can take advantage of the weakness, Gallup should be caught off guard, and perhaps our crisis will be solved. ”

There are still six forces in the Ravel Empire, one is Quintina, who occupies part of Lyman and Madig, and the other is the Sod family, which quickly occupied Manio after the assassination of Delon the Great, and recently occupied two cities in Madig, plus the original county of Onella, the strength has developed very rapidly.

The third force is Razor, the grandson of Emperor Delong, and the father and son took advantage of the rebellion to control Tanya, but he relied on an army of thousands of people to quickly occupy the entire Tanya, which surprised everyone. Zephnaia has also been regretting that if time can be reversed, he will definitely do whatever it takes to nip this force in the bud. Now Razor occupies most of Madij, and it can be said that it is in the limelight.

The fourth force is Gallup, who holds the three provinces of Mania, Garlau and Pagina, and holds the bargaining chip of the Royal Knights, so it can be said that Gallup is the most powerful of the four forces vying for the throne.

As for the other two forces, one is the second prince Aldrich, who is stationed in Kleist County in the north of the Ravel Empire, and is disqualified from inheritance due to monitoring the Endless Abyss and defending against demons, and the other is General Colatu, who is stationed in the western part of the empire. However, due to geographical reasons, the two provinces and counties could not intervene in the internal struggle of the Ravel Empire, which had been decided since the founding of the Ravel Empire.

Therefore, the only strength that can help Zephnaia is Razor and the Thord family.

First of all, Razor was excluded by Zefornaia, he was not bold enough to cooperate with Burr's murderer, and other than that, Razor's forces did not border Gallup. Even if he wanted to find Razor to send troops, Razor couldn't help it.

As for the Thord family, they are a white-eyed wolf that cannot be fed. It can be seen from the fact that when the Thord family besieged Razor in the hands of Quintina, not only did they not help, but they were robbed of two cities.

However, this time is really different, if the Thord family does not help, then after the destruction of Quintina, the Saud family will also face an existential crisis.

At the end, Zephnaia set his sights on the Sod family. (To be continued.) )
