Chapter 230 Gambling

With excitement, His Majesty King Beckenbauer, surrounded by ministers and generals, climbed the wall of the south gate of the imperial capital for the first time.

The brutal siege battle had long since ceased, and the Taranto rebels retreated like a tide, but they did not go far.And the new formation looked like it was ready for battle.

A strong enemy is watching, unless the head is flooded, it is impossible for any general to let the army continue to attack the imperial capital.

From a distance, I looked at the army lined up in a strict formation in the east, solemn and desolate.The spears stand upright like a forest, and the flag unfurls in the wind, what a majestic and mighty army of steel.

"This is my glorious empire army?"

His Majesty the King's eyes were blurred, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.

A minister next to him shouted excitedly: "Great! The general has finally arrived!"

The magical boy has never disappointed his side, and this time is no exception.

……

The Brilliant Empire side cheered and was inexplicably excited.On the side of the Taranto rebels, the clouds were bleak, like a cloud cover.

One of the generals was wounded and had blood on his face. He was obviously the fierce general who rushed forward.At this moment, he looked anxiously and looked at Franky expectantly.

"General Franky, what should we do now?"

Following his questioning, everyone turned to General Riga.

In the past period of working together, Franky has fully demonstrated his strength and won everyone's affirmation and trust.At this moment of urgency and even life and death, everyone is already feeling desperate.The only one who might still be able to count on was Frankie.

Everyone, including the Grand Duke Keqis, waited quietly.But Franky just looked up at the army that had just arrived on the scene, and didn't answer.

The hearts of the Taranto generals sank bit by bit, straight into the bottomless abyss.

The Grand Duke of Keqishi smiled miserably: "Hehe, it's all the old man's fault. I regret not following General Franky's advice."

General Riga looked around calmly, as if he had just woken up, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to blame yourself, this is not your fault."

"The matter has come to this point, and the general doesn't have to show me any face." When the matter came to an end, the Grand Duke Keqishi looked away.

Franky's face was calm but serious: "No, I'm telling the truth. Even if I follow my plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the predetermined strategic goal. If you don't believe me, look over there."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest, with a hint of admiration in his lonely tone.

"Skills are not as good as people, so why not!"

The generals looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an army appearing there at some point.Judging by the scale, the number of people is not too many, but there are always one or two thousand.

An officer couldn't help exclaiming: "Where did this army come from? Did the enemy set up an ambush here?"

The Grand Duke of Keqishi swept his eyes and saw the origin of the other party.

"This is the flag of Hanover! But weren't all their troops taken away by Anthony? Where did the Grand Duke Smolwa get his soldiers?"

"It's still possible to piece together an army by gathering the remaining private power of all the nobles." Franky almost immediately guessed the source of the army, and replied a little blankly.

His Excellency the Duke was sad.

General Franky was right. With the existence of this force, it would be almost impossible for them to fight a guerrilla attack on Hanover's territory.

Of course they are not capable of confronting Taranto's army head-on, but Franky can't easily get rid of their entanglement.When the army led by Anthony arrived, they still could not escape the fate of destruction.

"Look, there are more here!"

A general exclaimed loudly as if he had seen a ghost, his panic and despair were beyond words.

All the generals turned around together and looked south together.

I saw dust billowing and filling the sky.Another army of at least [-] people pressed forward with a murderous look.

"It's over!" A general lost his mind, and actually said very inappropriate words in front of Franky and the Grand Duke.

"Ambush on all sides, there is no way for us to survive!"

The Grand Duke of Keqishi is not much better than him at this time, and he doesn't bother to blame his subordinates, his eyes are desperate with a hint of understanding.

"So that's it, that's it! I'm surprised. It took 10 days to attack the imperial capital. It is supposed that the Aberdeen province and the [-]st Royal Cavalry should have come to rescue them, but they have never been seen. It turns out that they were afraid of being scared." Run us, we are all waiting here!"

His Excellency the Duke guessed the truth in an instant, as if suddenly enlightened.But for the situation they faced, this kind of understanding did not have the slightest effect.

Before the war officially started, the command center of the Taranto rebels was already devastated and full of despair.

The only one who remained calm was the famous Riga general Frankie.

At least on the surface, it does.

He ignored the wailing voices around him, clenched his fists with both hands, and already had a decision in his heart.

I saw him come out more and more, and walked quickly to the front of his formation.

"Frankie of the Riga Empire is here, can General Anthony come out and see him?"

Is this ace vs. ace?

There was a slight commotion in the army formation to the east, and then the formation separated, and a group of high-ranking soldiers came out slowly on tall horses.

The face of the person in the front is still immature, but the masculine toughness has begun to engrave on his handsome face.

It was Anthony, the general of the Brilliant Empire who planned and led a series of major reversals, the genius boy!
The generals in the army had already stopped, and the young man was riding slowly on a white horse all by himself.The sun hung slantingly in the air, and the light shone on him, covering him with a warm orange color.From a distance, it seems that the gods came to the world, with great glory.

Frankie narrowed his eyes slightly, closely following the boy's figure, with complicated emotions.

He can almost be regarded as personally accompanying the young man's growth experience, witnessing the young man's rise, and even his current brilliance, which everyone looks up to.Even though his positions were opposite, as an enemy, he still couldn't help expressing his admiration and admiration for Anthony.

This is a genius.

There is no doubt that this is a peerless genius!
From the first encounter between the two, Franky has tried countless times to completely kill this terrifying potential enemy.Facts have also confirmed that the Riga star has precise vision and far-reaching thinking.

It's a pity that the young man soared into the sky with an unstoppable momentum, and finally became the pillar of the glorious empire and the number one enemy of the Riga empire.

In today's situation, is there any chance for our side to struggle to win?

Franky didn't know, he only knew that the chance was not great.With the careful behavior of the young man on the opposite side, how can it be so easy for people to turn the tables when they have the upper hand?

But Franky will not give up. His perseverance and perseverance drive him to fight to the end no matter what.

Anthony reined in his horse and raised his voice to ask, "Your Majesty was invited to come here. I don't know what advice General Franky has?"

Anthony also admires the well-known Riga general in the mainland.It's just that the positions are different, and the two have to meet each other with swords.

Frankie withdrew his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "With today's situation, our Taranto army is already under siege. With the preparations made by the general, I am afraid we will hardly have a chance to escape. But the battle is fierce and dangerous, and we Thousands of Taranto warriors are not made of paper and clay. In the fight between the two armies, you and I will suffer heavy casualties, which is not beautiful."

"When the two armies fight, casualties are inevitable. If the king of your country had the compassion of a general and didn't send troops to attack, then everything would not have happened today."

Anthony knew that he must have something to say, so he followed it casually.

"Your Majesty's thinking, as a courtier, it is difficult for us to speculate and comment. But the current situation is not without a solution."

"Oh?" Anthony knew that the main event was coming, "Does General Franky have a solution?"

Frankie waved his right hand, raised his voice and exhaled, and the loud voice spread far away, allowing tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us to hear clearly.

"The method is very simple. Instead of a war between the two armies, there will be countless deaths. It is better for you and the commander of the two armies to fight alone. One battle will determine life and death. If General Ben is defeated, the Taranto army will lay down their weapons and the whole army will surrender. If I win by luck , General, please let my army leave, and within a day, we must not pursue or obstruct it. How about it?"

The soldiers present were all in an uproar when they heard this.

It was a gamble, a personal duel to decide the life and death of an army.

Anthony was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"The general's proposal is really inappropriate."

"Looking at the current situation, is there any possibility of the Taranto rebels breaking through? After all, they are still citizens of the Glorious Empire. Although they accidentally went the wrong way, I don't think there is any reason to kill them all. We think If you want to surrender, how many people do you think are willing to choose to resist to the end?"

His words were also spread far and wide, and the almost desperate heart of the Taranto warrior seemed to suddenly shine into a ray of sunshine, and immediately became active.

Anthony continued: "General Franky used what we almost got as a betting chip. This is not very sincere!"

Frankie smiled helplessly.He also knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but for the sake of it now, how could he have anything to offer?

Unexpectedly, the boy on the opposite side suddenly changed his voice: "It's not impossible for me to agree to the general's proposal, but I have to add one condition."

Frankie didn't expect that things would turn around, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the condition?"

Anthony looked at him with piercing eyes, and said loudly: "The general's proposal just now remains the same, but if I win by chance, I will add one more thing: I hope that General Franky can swear an oath on the same day to join my glorious empire and pay my respects to me." Allegiance to the Empire! How?"

"what?"

Franky looked stunned and exclaimed.

He really didn't expect that the bet Anthony asked to add was actually him.

Almost immediately after hearing this, Franky was about to categorically refuse.But when he thought about it, he fell silent.

The boy on the opposite side was very patient, and he didn't make any noise to urge him, but just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, as if he had made some kind of decision, Franky nodded fiercely, asserting his promise.

"Okay, I promise you!"
