"So, the only thing left is siege warfare?"

The faces of several people are not very good.

"I do have a way."

Gorman said, looking at Ludwig.

"Knight Gorman, please speak up if you have any thoughts."

The third prince had no intention of guarding against it at all.

"As I said before, many of my people are lurking among the rebels, and most of them have already entered the city of Aix, so if the time permits, we are sure to grab a city gate. "

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the others lit up immediately.

"This method works! Your Highness, the Lightning Knights are most proud of their speed. We are marching slowly now because we have an army of infantry and equipment. If we raid alone, even the reconnaissance rangers scattered outside the city of Theocracy will not be able to keep up." Get up to our speed!"

Manteuffel spoke quickly, but Ludwig immediately understood what he meant.

"You mean, the knights made a quick surprise attack and let Gorman's men grab a city gate when you arrived, and then rushed into the city to fight?"

"That's right, the other party should be aware of the time it takes for our army to arrive, set up camp, build camps, and prepare to attack the city. Before we arrive, the other party will be on guard. After our siege begins, the other party will be more on guard. But only when we appeared outside the city and prepared to set up camp, and they saw us but knew that we would not be able to attack the city at that time, then the other party's defenses would be the most lax!"

Manduffel said excitedly.

"At this time, as long as the Gorman Knights open the city gate, the Lightning Knights can directly attack! Afterwards, just guard the city gate and wait for the infantry to rush to arrive, then the city of Aix can go down in one day!"

Gorman nodded. As expected, the empire was full of generals. He was just making a start, and the other party had already thought up the whole plan.

"In this case, all the pressure will be piled on you, Gorman Knight."

"Please believe in our strength, Your Highness."

Gorman was firm.

"Knight Gorman, there is no joke in the army."

Ludwig also said seriously.

"Your Highness Ludwig, we Wallachians were innocently involved in the rebellion of the imperial provinces this time. If we don't take the initiative to seize the opportunity, we will not be able to prove our innocence. Therefore, I have been planning this matter for a long time. It’s in the middle, but it’s been put on hold because there’s no way to communicate with the empire.”

Gorman found that after staying with Claude for a long time, his ability to speak nonsense with his eyes open is increasing day by day-"innocent being involved", in the past, it was impossible for him to say such words fluently ?Major General Erin's head is still hanging in the sky.

Ludwig looked at Bock and Jung.

Bock supported this style of play. After all, before breaking through the city defense, the siege was all the work of the infantry, but Jung was still hesitant.

There is no doubt that this plan is indeed feasible, but it is also a gamble. After all, the city gate is the most important part of defense. It is impossible for the Theocracy to leave any big loopholes. As far as the regiment is concerned, it is nothing more than training, but if all Gorman's people die in the city, the only way to win the city of Aix is ​​to rely on human life.

Is it a gamble to win with the minimum casualties and time, or fill in the loopholes with human lives first, and then let Gorman and others deal a fatal blow?

"Your Highness, I am willing to go to the city of Aix with Knight Gorman."

Claude's face was full of justice.

"They are now my subordinates. How can I ask my subordinates to do dangerous things while the commander stays in a safe place?"

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 65 Chapter 63 The Loyal Julien

Ludwig finally decided on the plan.

After all, compared with the possible losses caused by the siege, the risks of this plan are very easy to accept.

And Claude, who was opposed by Jung, was allowed to leave with Gorman by Ludwig.

"Your Highness, I don't understand. With Knight Claude's potential, he should not be put in such a dangerous situation at all. If this genius dies young, this loss will be irreparable even if the plan succeeds."

The old man seemed a little worried, but Ludwig patted his teacher on the shoulder in relief.

"Do you think, with the noble morality of Knight Claude, if we force him to stay, he will stay obediently? This is a humiliation, which is enough to make him remember his whole life. If you are at the pinnacle of the road and become a fighting spirit, you can't lack in mentality, and your thoughts will restrict his potential instead."

Jung also just sighed, and still felt that Claude shouldn't be so reckless, but he also felt that it was normal, after all, he was a 16-year-old genius boy, and it was natural for him to have some youthful spirit.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jung, I have a hunch that he will come back alive, and should we make a bet, this time he will come back, he will definitely convince those Gorman knights to him, just like Adelin Knight Like that."

The third prince looked radiant.

"Speaking of it, he is like the person I dreamed of becoming in the past, a simple knight who is loyal to the empire. Compared with the shackles of this prince, I hope that I can lead my knights to gallop on the border of the empire. Destroy all enemies who dare to invade the empire!"

----------------------------------------

Gorman led a group of people, and Claude, who was wearing a mask, returned to Ex City in a low-key manner.

"I really want to know, how do you deal with Julien? That knight is loyal enough to you, so are you going to assassinate him, or give him a heroic funeral?" Gorman said indifferently, " No matter how you deal with it, it is best to give an order in advance, after all, it is a glorious knight, and it will be difficult for us to deal with it in a hurry."

The fat man followed Claude to the door of his residence.

"There's no need to try again, Mr. Gorman. I will never treat someone who is loyal to me badly, and you don't have to worry about him. I won't let him die, and of course I won't let you die."

Without looking back, Claude opened the door, walked in, and looked at the fat man who was still standing outside the door.

"If there is something to do, say it now. If there is nothing to do, go back and count the number of people."

The corner of Gorman's mouth twitched, and he turned and left.

[You really don't want to kill Julien? 】

"Of course not. After all, he is really loyal to my strength and identity. People like Gorman will definitely care about how I deal with him. After all, Julien's fate is likely to be his fate, so he can't help but not care. "

There was a faint smile on the corner of Claude's mouth.

[Then what will happen to them? 】

"As I said, I will never treat those who are loyal to me badly. As long as they don't betray, they can do what they want after completing my task."

【What if they can't finish it? 】

"Then they must be dead. At that time, I will help them avenge, and I will satisfy them with any last wish. After all, if they die as I ordered, it is either my fault that made the plan go wrong, or I have to They die. I have to do this because of emotion and reason.”

[I don't think Gorman will be happy to hear that. 】

"That's natural, so Julien must leave alive. After all, they have to feel that loyalty to me is a guaranteed thing, don't they?"

---------------------------------------

dong dong dong.

"My lord, it is I, Julien."

"Please come in."

Julien pushed open the door and saw the masked envoy of the Theocracy staring at the map of Provence in a daze.

"What is the matter, General Julien?"

The envoy turned his head and looked at Julien.

"My lord, I heard before that you didn't take my people, but went out with those Wallachians for a few days?" Julien's face was a little worried, "Although those Wallachians said they were loyal to The Theocracy, but I always feel that they are not trustworthy, and if your lord travels in the future, it will be safer for me to escort you."

"You worry too much, General Julien, they are now grasshoppers on the same rope as us." The envoy smiled and waved his hands. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. The Wallachians are not monolithic. I have someone behind me. Besides, if you and I go out on patrol, is it possible to hand over the 10,000+ young men and the city defense to that fat man?" ? That way I'm even more worried, I'll believe it only if you design it yourself."

Julien and Youyou straightened their backs proudly.

"Did you come to me just for this?"

"There is one more thing, my lord, this is the city defense map of Aix City." Julien hastily handed him a map, "I would like to ask you to issue an order to drive out the useless population in Aix City, and Hand over the nobles in those dungeons to my disposal."

The special envoy took it over and examined it carefully. It took a long time before he raised his head and looked at Julien.

"General Julien, do you want to use those nobles to make these assembled rebels hand over their votes?"

"My little trick has nowhere to hide in front of your wisdom." Julien nodded, "After all, only in this way can these people's fluke mentality be broken and let them stand with us. The purpose of expulsing useless people is to Save as much surplus food as possible, and these scattered refugees can also cause a heavy logistical burden to the imperial army."

The special envoy just put down the map, smiled, but did not agree.

"grown ups?"

Julien was puzzled.

"General Julien, take a look at this map."

The envoy turned again, pointing to the map of Provence.

"What do you think we look like now?"

Julien hesitated for a moment, as if to speak.

"There is no need to toss about those useless rhetoric, we are now dogs being beaten behind closed doors by the empire." The special envoy knocked on the city of Aix in dismay, "There is really no way to go to the sea, no door to the ground, and no way to fly. "

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The city of Aix is ​​impenetrable, and we have ample manpower, not to mention food storage. As the capital of Provence, there are granaries everywhere." Julien was obviously full of fighting spirit, "It is absolutely no problem to stick to it for three months. And the Theocracy's reinforcements must be on the way long ago, when the siege army is exhausted, we can even take the initiative to attack, the center will blossom, and the victory will be established in one fell swoop!"

Then he heard Mr. Envoy let out a weird laugh, mixed with self-mockery, and—

It gave him a chilling sense of despair.

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 66 Chapter 64 Idle Chess

"There will be no reinforcements, General Julien. Even if we can defend for three months, half a year, or even longer, it is meaningless."

The special envoy just looked at the map and said this very calmly.

"grown ups?"

Julien's heart sank suddenly. In fact, he had noticed these problems a long time ago, but he believed...or, he forced himself not to think about these things. After all, it was about his beliefs and about his years in the empire. Latent, do not forget the reason of the original intention.

"Obviously we have won the control of the province of Provence, and even if the Mediterranean fleet is dispatched, the soft underbelly of the empire will be opened for us-but no, the support of one soldier and one soldier, the Theocracy is even more direct pretending Death, there is absolutely no intention of supporting us."

His words were supposed to be full of resentment, but his tone was strangely cold and flat, without any emotional fluctuations, but this made Julien feel even worse. As a glorious knight, at this time, he unexpectedly fell into a coma because of his agitation. It caused his standing posture to sway.

"I'm sorry, General Julien. With the success of this operation, you should have been able to be promoted to become a Knight Commander of the Inquisition Tribunal, and then gain more meritorious service, but because of me, this is doomed to fail." A riot will cause you to die in obscurity."

Mr. Special Envoy sighed: "You should also find it very strange, right? Why did I come here as a special envoy to start a rebellion, and in the instructions conveyed to you by the Theocracy, I couldn't command you and most of the shadows? Actually, this time, I Sent to the province of Provence, it was they who wanted to kill with a knife."

"How... how could this be so! With your resourcefulness, my lord, the Theocracy can definitely be made stronger. Why do they..." Julien's voice gradually dropped.

"I can't say these things, Julien, but I think you have been a spy for so long, you have been here for so long, and you have become the deputy head of the Lavender Knights step by step. You should be able to guess the reason?" The special envoy shook his head slightly, "So, run away and go back to the Holy Land, I will give you all the achievements I have in Provence, go back to the Holy Land, this failure will not erase your achievements, and you will be able to live in a fair and just manner. Enjoy the honor you deserve."

"No, no, no! My lord, this is the honor you deserve. How can I be such a despicable person?" Julien shook his head desperately. He looked at the special envoy who seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, and couldn't understand. Why are those bishops so short-sighted, cornering such a wise man to death?

"My lord, we can escape. This failure is not our fault. We have tried our best. It is really... it is because..."

Julien was already a little choked up. He lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"General Julien, I cannot go."

The envoy sighed softly.

"No, my lord, no one has seen your face. As long as you mix with the refugees, no one will find out. In this rebellion, I am more famous than you. I can attract most of the attention here, and even directly It is possible to make them think that I am the mastermind this time."

Julien knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and begged.

"My lord, your wisdom is indispensable to the Theocracy! It doesn't matter if I die. There are countless knights in the Holy See who are stronger than me, but you can't die. Although I have been away from the Theocracy for decades, I believe you must You are the top wise man in the Theocracy, and only with your help can you spread the light of God to every corner of the continent!"

"Thank you, General Julien, but you are the only one who thinks my wisdom is indispensable, but in reality?" the envoy wearing a mask turned to look at him with a wry smile, "You said you were in the territory of the empire It’s hard to move an inch, but I don’t even have a place in Theocracy.”

Julien's body trembled slightly because of grief and anger. He is not a simple knight. He has seen many dirty intrigues among nobles for so many years, so he knows that what Mr. Envoy is telling is the truth, as long as he can leave The empire will definitely survive, but no matter where he is, the only way is to be forced to die.

"Listen, General Julien, you must shoulder the responsibility of being a knight of the Holy See! Go back, you have to bring these honors back to the Holy Kingdom, you must step on my shoulders, and go to fight with those who are full of nothing but the only things left in their heads. Fight against scheming politicians, fight against those bishops who only rule out dissidents and have no respect for God in their hearts! You must climb up and never let Theocracy fall into the hands of those people!"

Julien looked at the envoy in disbelief.

"grown ups……"

Seeing Mr. Special Envoy, even though he was subjected to such unfair torture, he was still thinking hard for the Theocracy. He knew that it was a death situation, but he still tried his best to plan, and turned the impossible task into the present almost complete victory. situation.

But what about the result?The result is still betrayal and indifference. Those bishops who have long been dazzled by the desire for power don't care whether this is a good opportunity to spread the teachings of God. They just want the envoy to die!

He wanted to cry for the helplessness of this wise man, but he also wanted to roar for those hypocritical believers, but he knew better that these were the manifestations of incompetent people.

So he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"...I understand, my lord, I will definitely return to the Church Kingdom alive. I swear to you, I will fight to protect the Church Kingdom from corruption and to protect the faith from being tarnished. What you entrusted to me today I will definitely repay you tenfold for this honor!"

The envoy nodded in relief.

"You don't have to repay me, and you don't have to feel burdened. If you want to repay, just take my share and offer it to our God."

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely remember your teachings firmly!"

The man straightened his body and saluted the special envoy.

"Then get ready to leave, the sooner the better, and don't say anything about me after returning to The Church. Remember, it's good to trust others, but it's better not to trust others."

The envoy turned away and continued looking at the map.
