Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 687 The King and Queen

You must know that in this kind of war in the feudal era of Middle-earth, it is normal for the war between countries to continue on the front line for a year and a half with no results.

Even if one side is strong and the other is weak, it will take a lot of effort to completely destroy a country.

Because in a war between countries, if you want to break the enemy's defense line, you have to break through the cities heavily fortified by the enemy, pull out all the enemy's military strongholds, and annihilate the defending army before you can complete the invasion and destroy the country. .

however,
The side that defends the city naturally has a strong advantage.

Relying on means such as siege and strong attack, if the defending side does not make any mistakes, unless more than ten times the force is attacking the city at all costs, otherwise it basically relies on siege of the city, causing the enemy in the city to collapse after exhausting its supplies.

And this time is generally more than a few months.

In some important cities, the hoarded materials are enough to last for several years.

Therefore,
When the Dragon Nest Legion of the Blue Dragon Kingdom swept across the southern area of ​​the Frandi Principality within half a month, and the news spread that all the military defense forces were completely defeated, it almost instantly defeated the hearts of the people in the capital. line of defense.

because,

Anyone who knows a little bit of military common sense knows that this means,

The army of the Blue Dragon Kingdom outside the city has crushing power for the Principality of Frandi!

Just like the rumors said, the entire country spent a lot of effort, and the defense line gathered in the south would collapse in front of the front of the Dragon Nest army!
Only in this way did the resistance in the south collapse across the board within half a month.

Even the news could not be transmitted, it was already beaten to the core of the entire Principality of Frandi!
The entire royal city is full of panic,

a mess.

Even the king of the Principality of Frandi is not sure about whether he can hold this royal city.

Nobody knows,
How did the terrifying army outside the city achieve the feat of sweeping a country in half a month, but it is precisely because of this that the unknown is the most terrifying existence!

For the past two days,
The black army outside the city was constantly gathering, as if they were temporarily resting, and did not launch an attack on the city immediately.

King Frandi is also making his last effort to get out of the palace that he has not been out of for many years, and frequently appears in the square to boost the morale of the subjects in the vast royal city.

But how effective it is, only God knows.

If the gossip rumored in the city is true, then the Principality of Frandi, which has completely fallen, is left with only the royal capital as an isolated island, with enemies everywhere, how can it continue to defend?

Two days ago, the nobles of the upper echelon had dispatched their foreign ministers to secretly sneak out of the royal city, and went to other countries to ask for reinforcements.

but,

Not to mention whether the reinforcements will come, and whether the other party will take advantage of the fire to loot,
Now that soldiers are approaching the city, with the terrifying military strength of the Dragon Nest Legion, it is still a question of whether Duke Frandi's King City can survive.

"Jennifer, you and Ansair leave the palace together, leave the palace through that tunnel, and I will send my most loyal knights to protect you."

inside the palace,

King Ferrandi is preparing for the retreat with Queen Jennifer.

"how about you?"

Looking at her husband whose worry hadn't eased in the past few days, Queen Jennifer's face was full of worry.

King Rufus and Queen Jennifer, Freddy, were childhood sweethearts.

It is also in this kind of aristocratic marriage politics, there are few couples who can achieve positive results and love each other after marriage. Among the many countries in the Middle-earth world, King Rufus and Jennifer can be regarded as a rare pair of model couples. .

The two had a son after their marriage, Prince Ansair.

In fact, Rufus, the king of Frandi, can be considered enlightened. During the years he became king, he also worked hard to handle government affairs, loved his subjects, promoted those elites from poor backgrounds, and tried to improve the lives of his subjects.

However, hundreds of years have passed since the founding of the Principality of Flanders, and the nobles in the country have almost unified into an interest class relying on marriages.

If it weren't for the existence of extraordinary power in this world, the solidification of resources has made the upper class who have mastered the extraordinary channels have a strong force to suppress the bottom, I am afraid that some kind of uprising revolution has already broken out among the serfs who have suffered extremely miserable oppression.

Facing such a country, King Rufus was powerless.

perhaps,

After he took office and ascended the throne, cracking down on corrupt officials had a certain effect on clearing up the atmosphere.

But with his limited knowledge, he could only do so much. As a king, Rufus had to compromise with those great nobles on many things.

"Jennifer, I am the king of Frandi, if I run away too, who will protect my people?"

King Rufus put his hands back on his shoulders, his eyes met,

said seriously.

"Don't worry, Frandi has been able to establish the country for 700 years, so it naturally has its meaning. You left just to let me arrange the next thing with peace of mind. It is not so easy for those orcs to destroy my country."

silence,

There was a long silence.

"Okay, Rufus, promise me that you will come back alive!"

King Rufus nodded deeply,

Hugging his wife tightly, he gave her a deep kiss.

"Phew, I love you, Jennifer."

The two were speechless.

After a while,
outside the hall,

A figure seemed to be walking back and forth anxiously, and the figure swayed outside the door.

the queen knows,

This is probably because I am in a hurry to find my husband.

"Go and do your own thing, we'll take care of ourselves."

Rufus nodded.
He strode towards the outside of the hall.

suddenly,

Queen Jennifer's voice came from behind,
"Rufus"

pause,
But didn't look back.

After a while,
"Be sure to come back safely."

Rufus turned his face slightly, nodded firmly, and quickly walked out of the hall, disappearing outside the hall.

outside the hall,
Seeing the king coming out, a figure hurried up.

"Your Majesty, they have agreed to your request, but they want you to go to discuss it in person."

The worry on the face of King Rufus not only did not ease, looking at the dark sky in the distance, on the contrary, it added a bit of worry.

"Do they have any additional requirements?"

"Your Majesty, they didn't mention it. I guess you can only discuss it with them personally, Your Majesty."

King Rufus stood silent,

After a while,
"Prepare the car and take me there to find them."
