And the twelve knights who were originally guarding the south have been killed, and grass has begun to grow on the graves.

when such news came.

All the generals froze in place, and for a moment, their minds went blank.

Have absolutely no idea what happened.

After a long time, Charlemagne was the first to react.

"South...sea"

He simply spit out two words.

"From the current situation, this is the only possibility.

Your Excellency Marshal, all the southwest of France has been occupied, and the escape route has been cut off. The current situation is very unfavorable for us, please plan ahead."

Henry opened his mouth to persuade at this time.

"Not only that.

There are worse things."

Richelieu's expression became a little ugly.

He thought of something more deadly.

"What's the meaning"

Dion asked immediately.

At this time, Henry said something that Richelieu did not say.

"Empire.

Archbishop means royal city.

Now the defense force of Wangcheng is only 1 people.

We are stuck here again, if Britain attacks the royal city at this time..."

They have no doubts about the whole fall of the south.

If Lucifer leads 5 people here, it is entirely possible to flatten the south.

After all, most of the noble soldiers in the south were taken away, and the remaining troops encountered Lucifer's army.

If you don't want to die, you can only surrender.

Although the royal city is strong, it does not have much defensive power.

Now they have absolutely no idea how many people there are in Lucifer.

Verdun's is fifty thousand, and other places, there is no more, but time has not allowed them to think too much.

"Master Marshal, please let me lead the troops to counterattack Verdun immediately."

Namo immediately stood up and begged for life.

"That's right! Counterattack! We must counterattack."

Montban also spoke out at the same time.

"How many people are you going to bring to counterattack?"

Flores Matt asked rhetorically at this time.

With a single word, the two next to him were completely dumbfounded.

Judging from the current situation, at least 10 people must be brought in to counterattack.

Success, this is still based on the premise that the opposite British army does not act at the same time.

"..."

The people next to him fell silent.

Although it is a counterattack, it is also a siege.

If it is not captured, the army that has gone out will have nowhere to go.

"We have lost the best opportunity to counterattack.

Compared with the counterattack, I think the tactics used by the King of Knights to capture Verdun are somewhat familiar."

Richelieu did not immediately talk about the issue of counterattack, but paid attention to Lucifer's tactics.

His eyes turned to Flores Matt.

At this time, Flores Matt naturally understood what the other party meant.

"That was the tactic that Marshal Lothar used to deal with him, and he saw through it.

Can't believe he's using it on France now."

he said calmly.

When he heard the news before, he felt a little familiar, until now it has been completely confirmed.

"The vile King of Britain has stolen the tactics of the late Marshal!"

Montban cursed Lucifer's despicable methods loudly.

He can only vent now.

"That's why I feel the timing is not right.

From the present point of view, the King of Britain knew France very well, very well.

Can even use our tactics appropriately.

But we don't know much about him."

"Knowing is a fart, and whoever has beaten it will know."

"Faced with an enemy who doesn't understand how to fight, if you counterattack immediately yesterday, it is not without a chance.

But today, we have no chance.

Lord Marshal, may I ask how many days we can eat with our current food?"

Richelieu now changed the subject.

What he said just now is still to give him face. He didn't say that you are going to counterattack now. If there are fewer people, you will just die.

There are too many people, the British side is following you, and a dead word is still written on your face.

For this reason, he can only shift the topic to the most serious problem at present.

"As far as I'm concerned, if there is no replenishment, the stored grain will last less than a month."

Dion immediately spoke out about their situation.

He has been managing the food all this time, and he is very aware of these things.

Another bad news, once again causing a burst of "..."

"Why is there such a big difference.

I remember that the grain stock in this important fortress is usually half a year."

Roland asked at this time.

"Because there are more people.

Originally, the food depot here never considered supporting the nearly 40 troops.

Before Verdun sent food every ten days was fine, but if it didn't.

We may not last a month."

Flores Matt speaks out about the current situation.

Originally, there were only 20 troops stationed here at most.

Now it's good, suddenly doubled, or keep it for a long time.

No wonder it's no problem.

"..."

"How long can the king of britain last"

Charlemagne looked seriously at Richelieu.

"do not know.

But the south has fallen, and he can be replenished, plus the stock of Verdun before, if he only has 5 people, it will definitely last longer than us.”

Richelieu gave the answer.

There is no need to think about the situation where Lucifer is running out of food.

Not to mention that from the current point of view, the south can support him, and even the food in Verdun will definitely be enough for him for two months.

"One month! What should I do now?"

Alfred said in despair.

His words spoke to everyone's heart.

Before they could have waited for the other side to attack, but now, if they stayed longer, they would be out of food after a month.

Then you don't have to fight at all.

"It really sucks.

The King of Britain occupied Verdun, and if he did not take it back, the food would not be brought in at all.

But no one can take it back now."

Oliver said the key point in front of him.

Their rear was truncated, without food.

The retreat is also blocked, and if it is not recaptured, defeat is only a matter of time.

But in front of them, no one can take it back.

"Not necessarily! In the north, how about letting Ganiron go south. If it's him, he might be able to lead the army in the north..."

At this time, Roland expressed his opinion.

But it was immediately rejected by Charlemagne.

"To let Garnier go south is to put Rome directly into France."

"..."

At present, they have not yet defeated Britain, it is enough trouble.

Now if Rome enters France again, then it will be... one country fights two countries.

The pressure is much greater than it is now.

Even if they fought to death with Britain on their side, Rome directly captured the royal city.

They have nowhere to cry.

"It will take at least half a month for General Ganilon to march south as a whole.

What happens during this time, we have no control at all.

His troops are simply not enough."

Richelieu also disagreed with this plan.

If Britain is a wolf and Rome is a tiger, it would be hard to let anyone in.

As an archbishop who was born in the church, he especially understood the virtues of Rome.

Rome was very hostile to the church for historical reasons, and the most powerful period of the church was... in Rome.

As a result, the mad king Romulus II was dissatisfied with the church's interference in Rome's internal affairs, and he directly dispatched five 55 Roman regular legions to smash the entire church.

The strongest armed Holy Knights of the church at that time were bloodbathed in that disaster, and no one survived.

If the Pope at the time hadn't stabilized the Mad King with a secret chamber and a previous oath, the church might have disappeared directly.
