Chapter 788: Enemy at the Gate - Encirclement of Brera City
On April 9759, 4 of the Glorious Calendar, a million-strong army of the Teton Kingdom arrived at the city.
In Brera, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Brera, the soldiers guarding the city were filled with fear as they looked at the military camps stretching for hundreds of miles.
In less than six months, the Grand Duchy of Brera lost 95 percent of its territory, and thirteen and a half of its fourteen regions fell. Now only the southeastern part of the Brera region is under the control of the Grand Duke of Brera.
With the steady advance of the 15th Army, the nobles in the southeastern part of the Brera Region surrendered. The remaining loyal and brave men felt powerless and committed suicide one after another, using their death to prove their loyalty to the Grand Duke.
On May 5, when the 15th Army captured the satellite city of Cambra, it officially joined forces with the Teton Kingdom's unified army to encircle the city of Bray.
Three days later, at the invitation of King Merezacles of the Teton Kingdom, Weilin, as the commander of the 15th Army, attended the pre-war meeting with Kyle and Hebrew.
Inside the tent, Weilin and Merezakli sat in the main seats to show the Teton Kingdom's respect for the expeditionary force.
In this meeting, Weilin directly treated himself as a mascot and left the siege to the Hebrews. He only occasionally listened to Merezakli's war philosophy and learned from it.
As for Kyle, his mind was no longer on the meeting. He was now immersed in his own world, studying various spells.
As time passed, the Teton Kingdom's unified army and the 15th Army of the Expeditionary Force divided the direction of the siege and the distribution of benefits after the city was captured.
The distribution of spoils in the previously signed Cummings Palace Agreement only involved the wealth of the Storm Church.
As for the division of interests in the Grand Duchy of Brela, the Kingdom of Teton gained a great advantage due to the meteorite fall.
However, under the threat of the floating city, the Kingdom of Teton still obediently handed over half of the financial resources obtained from the Grand Duchy of Brela to the expeditionary force.
At this moment, this huge fortune is being guarded by a standard Gareth magic puppet army of my grandfather.
Thinking of this, Weilin's thoughts of being a rat popped up again.
As long as he can give a legitimate reason, he will definitely be able to take over the task of guarding the huge wealth.
At that time, he would leave 70% of the wealth to the expeditionary headquarters, and put the remaining 30% into the demiplane. As long as his own people did not leak the secret, who would know about it?
“It’s really exciting!”
"Are you interested?" Merezakli, who was sitting nearby, heard Weilin's whisper and asked in a low voice, "Ambassador Weilin, are you interested in the Brela Pearl? If you like it, I will send someone to deliver it to your tent after the city is conquered."
Upon hearing this, Weilin quickly shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Merezakli, thank you for your kindness, but I don't have such an idea."
For a moment, I even forgot what occasion this was. It was all because wealth was too attractive.
Looking at Weilin's expression, Merezakli smiled but said nothing.
Since the other party has refused, there is no need for me to bring it up again.
Half an hour later, the meeting ended and the two sides signed the Brera Agreement. The agreement stipulated that after the city was captured, the area west of Brera would belong to the Teton Kingdom, and the area east of Brera would belong to the Fifteenth Army, with the royal palace as the boundary.
All members of the Brera family will be handed over to the Teton Kingdom for disposal, and the 15th Army will not intervene.
After the agreement was signed, Merezakli's doubts disappeared.
If he didn't completely destroy the Brera family, he was afraid that they would make a comeback.
As long as the expeditionary force does not intervene, the Grand Duchy of Brera will be destroyed and the Brera family will be wiped out.
After returning to the military camp, Weilin handed over all matters to Hebrew, ordered Miller to guard the tent, and then went in to take a break.
If the people we train are not used, then their training would be in vain.
As the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. Several large-scale battles have proved the ability of the Hebrews. What he needs to do now is to delegate power.
……
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the Brera Palace.
The pale-faced Grand Duke of Brera sat on the throne, and it was unknown whether he was overworked with the Grand Duchess or too exhausted by government affairs.
The hall now seemed empty compared to the crowdedness of the past.
"Sir Rodhail."
The voice of Grand Duke Brera was heard in the hall, but no one stepped forward.
After a long time, a young boy walked out of the queue and bowed: "Grand Duke, my grandfather died in the Tumaco region half a month ago."
"is it?"
Grand Duke Brera rubbed his temple, feeling that his memory was a little confused, and waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat.
For some reason, his energy has been declining over the past few months, but considering his strength as an Eight Seal Knight, this shouldn't be the case.
"Could it be excessive indulgence?"
Thinking of this possibility, Grand Duke Brera quickly rejected it.
Thinking back to the time when he had sex with hundreds of women at night without showing any sign of fatigue, this situation could never happen to him. There was only one possibility, that someone was trying to harm him.
The ministers standing below looked at the Grand Duke's strange behavior, lowered their heads and remained silent.
The capable ones had died on the battlefield, and the mediocre ones filled the entire hall.
It is much safer to keep silent than to talk about it on paper. They will not gamble with their lives.
Grand Duke Brera stopped thinking about it, looked at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?"
You could hear a pin drop, and the hall was completely silent.
After a long time, Grand Duke Brera waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
He knew exactly what the current situation was in the capital. He summoned the ministers here today just to hear if there was any way to turn the situation around. Now it seems that he was just overthinking.
Many ministers bowed and left the hall one after another.
In less than a moment, he and two guards were the only ones left in the hall.
Leaning on the throne and looking at the clouds in the distance, Lord Brela said, "How long do you two think it will take for Brela City to fall?"
"Brela City is indestructible. I believe that even if we give the Teton Kingdom three years, they will never be able to capture this city."
"My Lord, I think so too."
After hearing the answers from the two guards, Grand Duke Brera fell silent for a moment, and then laughed.
"You all go down."
The two Nine Seal Knights looked at each other, bowed and saluted, then left the hall.
Grand Duke Brera stood up, took off the clothes that symbolized power, and wearing a white underwear, walked to the weapon rack where the knights' swords were placed. He casually pulled out a long sword, looked at the luster on it and the words engraved on the sword, and recalled his previous oath.
"I forgot, I have already forgotten!"
Thinking back to the lofty promises he made when he took over the throne of Grand Duke from his father, he had not fulfilled a single one of them, and now he was about to become the king of a fallen country.
"I remember……"
Grand Duke Brera held his forehead and looked down at the sword in his hand with some confusion in his eyes. He threw it on the ground and walked straight to the Hewlett Palace.
At this moment, in a palace surrounded by flowers, a woman with the most beautiful appearance in the Grand Duchy of Brera watched the Grand Duke of Brera’s expression change in the mirror, and put away the magic mirror as usual.
At this critical moment, no mistakes can be made.
