Chapter 788: Enemy at the Gate - Enemy Besieges Brera City
On April 30, 9759 of the Glorious Calendar, a million-strong army of the Kingdom of Teton arrived at the city.
In Brela, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Brela, the soldiers guarding the city were filled with fear as they looked at the military camp that stretched for hundreds of miles.
In less than six months, the Grand Duchy of Brela lost 95% of its territory, and thirteen and a half of the fourteen regions fell. Now only the southeastern part of the Brela region is under the control of the Grand Duke of Brela.
Under the steady advancement of the 15th Army, the nobles in the southeastern part of the Brela region surrendered, and 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 15, when the 15th Army captured the satellite city of Cambra, it officially joined forces with the Kingdom of Teton to encircle the city of Brela.
Three days later, at the invitation of the King of the Kingdom of Teton, Merezakli, Weilin, as the commander of the 15th Army, took Kyle and Hebrew to attend the pre-war meeting.
In the tent, Weilin and Merezakli sat in the main seats to show the respect of the Kingdom of Teton for the expeditionary army.
In this meeting, Weilin directly regarded himself as a mascot, and the siege was completely handed over to Hebrew. He only occasionally listened to Merezakli's war philosophy and learned by the way.
As for Kyle, his mind was no longer in the meeting. At this moment, he was immersed in his own world and studied various spells.
As time passed, the unified army of the Kingdom of Teton and the 15th Army of the Expeditionary Army divided the direction of the siege and the distribution of benefits after the city was broken.
The previously signed "Cummings Palace Agreement" only involved the wealth of the Storm Church in the distribution of spoils.
As for the division of interests of the Grand Duchy of Brela, the Kingdom of Teton picked up a big bargain due to the meteorite fall.
However, under the deterrence of the floating city, the Kingdom of Teton still obediently handed over half of the finances obtained by the Grand Duchy of Brela to the expeditionary army.
At this moment, this large amount of wealth is being guarded by a standard Gareth magic puppet army of his grandfather.
Thinking of this, Weilin's idea of being a rat came up again.
As long as he gives a legitimate reason, he will definitely be able to take over the task of guarding the huge wealth.
At that time, leave 70% of the wealth to the expeditionary headquarters, and put the remaining 30% into the demiplane. As long as his own people don't leak the secret, who can know?
"It's really exciting!"
"Exciting?" Merezakli, who was sitting next to Weilin, heard Weilin's whisper and asked in a low voice, "Ambassador Weilin, are you interested in the Brera Pearl? If you like it, I will send someone to send it to your tent after the city is broken."
Hearing this, Weilin hurriedly shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Meirezakli, thank you for your kindness, I don't have this idea."
For a moment, I even forgot what occasion this was. It was all because the wealth was too attractive.
Looking at Weilin's expression, Meirezakli smiled without saying a word.
Since the other party refused, there was no need for him to mention this matter again.
Half an hour later, the meeting ended and the two sides signed the Brela Agreement. The agreement stipulated that after the city was captured, the area west of Brela would belong to the Kingdom of Teton and the area east of Brela would belong to the Fifteenth Army, with the royal palace as the boundary.
All members of the Brela family would be handed over to the Kingdom of Teton for disposal, and the Fifteenth Army would not intervene.
After the agreement was signed, Merezakli's doubts disappeared.
If the Brela family was not completely destroyed, he was afraid that the other party would make a comeback.
As long as the expeditionary army did not intervene, the Grand Duchy of Brela would perish and the Brela family would be destroyed.
After returning to the military camp, Weilin handed all the affairs over to Hebrew, ordered Miller to guard the tent, and then went in to be lazy.
If the trained people are not used, it would be in vain.
As the saying goes, the capable should work harder. Several large-scale battles have proved Hebrew's ability. What he has to do now is to delegate power.
...
In the palace of Brela City, there was a gloomy cloud.
Grand Duke Brela sat on the throne with a pale face. It was unknown whether he was overworked with the Grand Duchess or exhausted with government affairs.
The hall seemed empty now compared to the past crowds.
"Sir Rodhail."
The voice of Grand Duke Brela rang in the hall, but no one stood up.
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."
"Really?"
Grand Duke Brela rubbed his temples, feeling that his memory was a little confused, and waved to the other party to withdraw.
For some reason, his energy has been getting worse in recent months, but with his strength as an Eight Seal Knight, this situation should not occur.
"Could it be excessive indulgence?"
Thinking of this possibility, Grand Duke Brela quickly rejected it.
Thinking back to the time when he drove hundreds of women at night without any fatigue, this situation could not happen to him at all, so there was only one possibility, someone was plotting against him.
The ministers standing below looked at the Grand Duke's strange behavior, lowered their heads, and remained silent.
The capable ones have died on the battlefield, and the mediocre ones filled the entire hall.
It is much safer to keep silent than to talk about war 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 can hear a pin drop, and there is silence in the hall.
After a long time, Grand Duke Brera waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
He knew the current situation in the capital city very well. He summoned the ministers here today just to listen to any way to turn the tide. Now it seems that he was just overthinking.
Many ministers bowed and saluted, and left the hall one after another.
In less than a moment, only he and the two guards were left in the hall.
Leaning on the throne and looking at the clouds in the distance, Grand Duke Brela said, "How long do you two think it will take for Brela to fall?"
"Brela is indestructible. I think that even if they give the Kingdom of Teton three years, they will never be able to break through this city."
"Grand Duke, I think so too."
Hearing the answers of the two guards, Grand Duke Brela was silent for a moment, and then laughed again.
"You all go down."
The two Nine Seal Knights looked at each other, bowed and saluted, and then left the hall.
Grand Duke Brela stood up, took off the clothes that symbolized power, put on a white underwear, walked to the weapon rack where the knight's sword was placed, and casually pulled out a long sword. Looking at the luster on it and the words engraved on the sword, he recalled his previous oath.
"Forgot, I have forgotten it all!"
Thinking of the lofty words he made when he took over the Grand Duke's position from his father, he had not completed any of them, and now he is about to become the king of a fallen country.
"I remember..."
Grand Duke Brera held his forehead, looked down at the long sword in his hand, his eyes were a little confused, and 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 looked at the Grand Duke Brera in the mirror and saw his expression change. She put away the magic mirror as usual.
At the critical moment, no mistakes can be made.
