When Jia Zhengjin returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Tina, Perrin, and Christina were already asleep.

He didn't wake up his wives and went to bed and fell asleep.

When I got up the next day, I had to grind with their ears and temples for a while before giving out the gifts.

Tina learns to be disgusted with fire, Perrin learns Wings of the Wind, and Christina wears a glitter ring.

They were quite happy and liked Jia Zhengjin's gift very much. didn't compare whose gift was better, which was the most worry-free place for Jia Zhengjin.

After the husband and wife finished eating in the City Lord's Mansion that morning, Jia Zhengjin said goodbye to General Albas and instructed him to assist General Owen to guard the Sea Dragon City, and after leaving a bunch of bombs and mines in his virtual backpack, he rode the dragon and left quickly.

With millions of gold coins, he can go back to the Holy Dragon City to do a lot of things!

On the other side, tens of thousands of elven troops, the Sea Dragon City troops led by Owen, and the city guard troops led by Zhuoma attacked the Principality of Hels in three ways.

Because the elite troops were annihilated, the strongest of the younger generation were martyred, and the older generation of generals who had been suppressed were deeply suspicious of the Grand Duke of Troy. In the face of a three-front attack, the army of the Principality of Hales is retreating!

The city of Raqqa has fallen, the city of Duvelt has fallen, and the port of Snow Rock has fallen!

The coalition forces led by Owen attacked Snowwind Castle, the coalition forces led by Dolma attacked Kitabaraki Castle, and the main elven army attacked Claudia Castle. Once all three cities are breached, Bolivia, the capital of the Duchy of Hells, will be cut off from all three directions, completely blocking the capital.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the Grand Duke of Troy immediately sent people to the cities of Dimar, Potanya, Lockhit, Pandoga, Vale, and Haniri to mobilize all the troops to return for reinforcements, and at the same time sent envoys to quickly go to the nearest Cangyan Empire to ask for reinforcements.

After the elite troops were annihilated, the Principality of Hells could not resist the powerful legions of the elves at all! Not to mention the cooperation of the troops of Sea Dragon City and Holy Dragon City, and even the powerful bombs and mines. Even if the troops of all the surrounding cities were mobilized, it would only delay the attack speed of the tripartite alliance, mainly to see if the Cangyan Empire could send reinforcements in time.

Faced with this dangerous situation, the old general Mark decided to once again admonish the Grand Duke of Troy.

His granddaughter Lewis wanted to stop him: "Grandpa, the Grand Duke of Troy is prejudiced against us, and will never take any of your suggestions!

"That's not right!" General Mark said to her with a straight face, "As a member of the Duchy of Hales, of course we must do our part for our own country!

Lewis persuaded several times, but General Mark insisted on going his own way.

He really gathered a group of veterans and rushed to the city lord's mansion to collectively advise the Grand Duke of Troy. In the face of such a situation, in order not to destroy the country, it is necessary to immediately send envoys to the Holy Dragon City, Sea Dragon City, and the elven army to negotiate with them! The enemy's strength is too strong, and blindly resisting will only lead to faster defeat! There is nothing wrong with waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but before that, you must first stabilize the opponent, and there is still a chance to recapture it after a temporary defeat!

The Grand Duke of Troy was already very aggrieved in his heart, and he was about to be beaten to the capital by the enemy, and he was about to destroy the country! As a result, these old things actually jumped out and wanted to stop resisting and negotiate with the enemy?

Before the Grand Duke could speak, the younger generation of civil and military officials immediately stood up and attacked General Mark and the old generals he led, denouncing them as capitulationists and traitors, and throwing all kinds of ugly words at them anyway.

The veterans were all scolded bloody, and no one was willing to talk to them rationally.

The Grand Duke of Troy was also driven by such emotions, and in the young generals' blind pursuit of war, the Duchy of Wales shouted against the old generals who "surrendered on the verge of battle".

Although General Mark felt sad, he still fought with reason. He did not propose to surrender to the enemy, but to delay the enemy by means of negotiations to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. Or maybe you can know the enemy's intentions, or maybe you can compromise a little for the sake of the principality, and there is no need to resist at the cost of losing the country.

It's just that the current Grand Duke of Troy and the young civil and military ministers around him all can't listen to it, they all firmly believe that they can hold out until the reinforcements of the Cangyan Empire arrive, and even the human empire coalition can send troops immediately after getting the news and quickly rush to this battlefield!

The stubborn Grand Duke of Troy severely reprimanded General Mark and other veterans who followed him in his advice. They were ordered to go home and pay their respects, and not to participate in any national meetings for a short time.

In the eyes of the Grand Duke of Troy, this is already the best treatment for veterans! If it weren't for the fact that they had dedicated their lives to the Duchy of Hells, and if it weren't for the fact that they had never changed their loyalty to their father, they would have been dragged out and executed a long time ago!

General Mark failed to persuade him, and when he returned home, he became ill. The rest of the veterans also got "sick" and told their families to lock their doors and windows, stock up on enough food and water, and no one was allowed to leave the house during this time!

Knowing that the veterans are so knowledgeable, they all obediently shut up and never bother themselves again. The Grand Duke of Troy was in a much better mood, so he immediately summoned the younger generation of generals and civil officials to discuss the strategy of defense and retreat again.

As long as Snow Wind City, North Ibari City, and Claudia City can hold out for about a week, reinforcements from all over the country will arrive to defend the capital Bolivia with all their might! With the assistance of reinforcements from all over the country, if you hold on for another week, you can wait for the powerful army of the Cangyan Empire to come to the rescue!

At that time, together with the Cangyan Empire, they will definitely be able to break the Holy Dragon City troops, recover Sea Dragon City, and even attack the Elven Forest!

I have to say that the idea is excellent! It's just that the Grand Duke of Troy really overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own domestic army and underestimated the strength of the three-party coalition! In particular, the bombs and mines they carry, one of them focuses on attack, and throws them into the city by airdrop, and they can't be guarded against at all! The other pays attention to defense, and it is difficult for the naked eye to find out after being buried, once you think that the opponent's defense force is not strong when you set up camp, and you want to win by sneak attack, the minefield will immediately teach you how to behave!
