Fighting from Calais to Verdun in seven days, if the other party was not their king, they all thought it was a joke.

Under normal circumstances, considering the timing of the siege and the arrangement, even if everything goes well, it will take nearly a month.

They never thought that Lucifer was just... going north with all the cavalry.

"My brother is too careful, he didn't tell me such things.

Obviously I am better at naval warfare than him."

Gareth said with an angry face.

"Sir Gareth.

Gao Wenqing didn't know where he was going until he left with Wang."

Leah stood up at this time and explained the reason.

"My compatriots, the situation before us is very clear.

When the king captured Verdun, he had cut off the retreat route and material transport station of the Maginot fortress.

The next move of the French army is our key focus."

Lungominiade directs the conversation to the most important part at hand.

"Did the king leave an order?"

Siegfried thought for a while and said.

In his opinion, with Lucifer's personality, if there is such a plan.

Would not fail to imagine France's reaction.

The fact is also certain.

"Yes! According to the speculation left by the king, once France received the news of the fall of Verdun.

They have only two options. First, send people to attack Verdun with all their strength.

Second, go out of town to fight with us."

Lungomiad mentioned two possibilities that Lucifer had speculated before.

Verdun was Maginot's back road and a supply station.

If it is lost now, if it is not recaptured, Maginot's army may starve to death after a while.

As for the second point, it's easy to understand.

Rather than... wait to die, it is better to fight.

"If it's the first point, it's...simple, they sent people to counterattack.

We'll just have to send people to follow behind the troop they're out of town too.

At that time, once they can't attack, they can't enter Verdun.

You can bury this army."

St. George speaks out its own solution.

Maginot Fortress was built against a mountain, and there was a huge mountain forest to the north, which was not suitable for marching.

The other three sides are plains. If the other side sends people to counterattack, if they see it on their own side, they can also send people to follow.

If the other party continues to send people, then the other side will continue.

In the end, it may evolve into a battle, which is the second result.

"Should we support the king in advance?"

Arian Heard thought for a while and said.

"No! Since the king has made a decision, we don't need to worry about it.

If France does not send men, and we send men first, then in case they have a decisive battle.

We can fail.

The main battlefield on the fortress side, they don't move, neither do we.

Just wait and you'll win."

Lungominiad refuted the friend's decision.

They have taken the initiative now, and cannot be divided until the other party divides their troops.

If they send people, they can send people from their own side.

But the number will still be less than the other.

If you don't send it, you won't move.

"What if it's the second?"

Percival also spoke at this moment.

"Everyone, if France chooses to fight, will you be afraid?"

Lungominiad asked with a smile.

The answer to this question was not in doubt from the beginning.

"of course not!"

Gareth replied.

"how is this possible."

Percival said at the same time.

"We waited so long for them to come out."

Siegfried also expressed his thoughts.

"We'll win, there's no other way."

Finally, Tristan.

That's right! The reason they didn't attack was because the other side was in the fort.

If the opponent is out of the city now, and there is a big battle on the plain, that's exactly what they want.

Especially at the moment when the opponent's retreat is cut off, once France is defeated.

The most likely result is that the nearly 40 troops here will be completely buried, and then the whole of France will be at your fingertips.

With such preparations, Lungominiad officially took over the command.

At the same time, preparations for the decisive battle began.

Compared to the news that the British side got ahead of time.

It was a day later that the French side got the news.

In the military conference hall of France, Charlemagne, who had always been calm, had an expression of disbelief on his face when he heard the news.

"What! The fall of Verdun is impossible!"

He said subconsciously.

"nonsense.

The King of Britain is confronting me in the southwest, and now you tell me that he has taken Verdun as a joke, and you dare to lie about the military situation!"

Montban stared fiercely at the messenger in front of him and shouted.

No one here believes this kind of news at all.

"What's wrong this time.

But please make excuses and find a decent one.

Do you think we are all blind when the King of Britain takes Verdun?"

Na Mo even looked at the soldier in front of him with contempt.

He thought that something happened to the nobles behind him, so he made up this lie.

"Who the hell told this lie.

don't you mind?"

Here are Oliver's words.

At this time, Dion also stood up to comfort the soldier in front of him.

"Calm down, what happened next?"

"It's true, my lords.

Just yesterday! Yesterday...Yesterday 5 people led by the King of Britain captured Verdun, and I escaped desperately.

Please trust me."

The soldiers recounted their experiences in tears, but they did not arouse the sympathy of the generals.

They all thought the guy was a liar.

"Yesterday! It's even more impossible.

In the past few days, the camp opposite has been silent, and the soldiers have not been mobilized at all.

We can see clearly."

Charlemagne felt that time was very problematic.

There were patrols he arranged on the main road between Verdun and Maginot.

Even if someone did sneak past, it's impossible for those... patrols to be unresponsive.

Just when Charlemagne was puzzled, the soldier continued.

"Not the British army opposite."

"No"

"It's the south.

The King of Knights attacked from the south.

He wasn't there at all."

"It's even more impossible in the south. Outside the plain in the south is a rocky belt. There is my post there, and they haven't sent a signal.

Not to mention, that part of the hilly area to the south is mostly sand and gravel, and trying to pass [-] knights is just talking in a dream.”

Charlemagne continued in a serious tone.

In an instant, Charlemagne turned to Richelieu, who had not spoken.

"His Excellency Archbishop, what do you think is going on?"

"Currently there is too little information, and I don't know either.

But now that something like this has happened, we should at least send someone to investigate what happened to Verdun."

Richelieu did not believe this information very much either.

Judging from the current situation, Lucifer occupied Verdun yesterday.

Even if Lucifer could fly, they would see this kind of thing.

After all, 5 people are not...five people.

no.417 No food

In order to prevent accidents and at the same time ensure the authenticity of the matter, Charlemagne sent his own guards to check the situation in Verdun.

In doing so, he wasted another day.

After receiving the news again, all French generals were in a state of shock.

At the same time, the personal guard received even worse news from some residents near Verdun, that is, the British army, totaling [-], was coming from the southwest of France.

Now it is said that the entire south of France has fallen and has become the domain of Britain.
