"Brother, count the days, the English Navy should have arrived in Lisbon, but why is there no news yet?" In the palace of Lisbon's royal family, the second prince Duroward asked in confusion.

Duarte patted his shoulder and said relaxedly: "Don't worry, it's only been a few days. Don't worry, don't worry. Now three-quarters of the country's army are in our hands, so we can say that we are sure to win."

Seeing Duarte say this, the second prince just felt relieved: "Since my elder brother said this, I won't worry anymore. But after the matter is done, I must remember to agree to my conditions."

"Don't worry, I remember that after the matter is completed, I will personally propose to you to His Majesty Henry, the King of England, and I guarantee with my reputation that when I return to the Lord's arms, you will be the new King of Portugal." Duarte quickly raised his hands and swore: "How about it, second brother, can you rest assured now?"

Duro Wade nodded with relief.

That's right, the two finally reached an agreement after intense negotiations. According to the agreement, the two teamed up to deal with Tim in Algarve. After removing Tim, Dualte was the king first. The exchange was that Dualte needed to contribute to Duro Wade marrying the princess of the Kingdom of England, and after Duarte had to pass the throne to his younger brother Duro Wade a hundred years later, let Duro Wade be the king of Portugal, and after Duro Wade a hundred years later, the Portuguese throne was returned to Duarte's hands.

The negotiations between the two sides were very difficult, but fortunately it was reached in the end, at least on the surface.

Just as the two brothers were looking forward to a better life in the future with confidence, the attendant brought a ruthless fact that directly broke their dreams.

"Report to the two Your Highnesses, something big is wrong. The French army suddenly appeared at the port of Lisbon and is now on the shore."

"What, the French army?" Duarte and Duroward's faces changed drastically.

When the two were surprised, a servant ran in and reported: "Two His Highnesses, France sent an envoy to submit the war documentary."

"Let him come in." Duarte couldn't digest this fact for a while, his face looked extremely ugly, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

Soon, a French soldier in armor was brought in. He first greeted Duarte and the others, and then took out a copy of the text from his backpack and tried to show off his hands.

Duarte took the video and read it and handed it to Duro Wade.

After reading the document, the second prince Duro Wade's face was also ugly.

"You two, please fight to the decisive battle outside Lisbon tomorrow, otherwise France will launch a strong attack." The envoy, regardless of Duarte and his men's black face, passed the commander's original words mechanically.

"Empress, although Portugal is an ally of England, Portugal has never done any substantial harm to France. Why is France unable to get along with us alone?" Duarte said stiffly withstand the anger in his heart.

The French envoy bowed slightly: "Your Highness Tim has formed an alliance with our country. We are here at the invitation of His Highness Tim. Please consider carefully whether to surrender immediately or to fight immediately."

"Oh, by the way, if the two high men are still waiting for the help of the English, then I'm sorry, your wish will probably be vanished, because His Highness Tim has commanded the navy and blocked the English navy." The messenger smiled strangely, then stopped looking at others, turned around and left.

"Brother, what's going on? How could he form an alliance with the Kingdom of France? What should we do now?" Duroward looked at Duarte in anger. At this moment, he was a little annoyed. If he knew that the French army would intervene, he would not have formed an alliance with Duarte even if he died.

When Duro Wade thought that the opponent this time was not Algarve's army, but France's army, he had a headache. Because in this way, the role of the Archbishop Johnson in Cardinal was completely ineffective.

According to the original plan, he planned to let the Archbishop Johnson use his authority to dismantle the hearts of the enemy, but who would have thought that the French army would come.

These French soldiers are not Portuguese and may not listen to the words of Cardinal Johnson, even though he is a veritable Cardinal.

Facing France's declaration of war, Duarte was also extremely frightened. Among these European armies, the French army was the most powerful, especially after experiencing the tempering of the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France, its combat effectiveness was even more fierce.

In contrast, the Portuguese army has not fought for a long time. So can the Portuguese army withstand the attack of the French army like a wolf? When Duarte thought of this, he was upset.

Taking a deep breath, Duarte forced himself to calm down and replied weakly: "Look at it tomorrow, maybe the English Navy will break through Tim's siege."

After the two said goodbye with great worries, Duarte quickly summoned his men to let them move overnight and quickly deploy their troops to prevent French attacks.

The French army came to Lisbon, and at this moment everyone was under great pressure. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect anything. They hurriedly took their own troops to stand by in the corresponding position. For a moment, the originally empty castle was soon under heavy troops to guard the formation.

After doing all this, Duarte hurried to see his mother, and the strong woman was still having afternoon tea in the back garden.

"Mother, do you know? Tim and France have formed an alliance. Now the French army has landed in Lisbon. Mother, what should we do?" Duarte felt a little relieved after seeing his mother.

"What? He has formed an alliance with France?" After hearing the news, the queen fell to the ground with a clang, her lips trembling but didn't know what to say.

After a long time, I strongly calmed down and said: "Don't delay the time and wait for England's aid as much as possible."

"Mother, Tim and his navy have blocked England. I'm afraid the English navy will not come for a while." Duarte said anxiously.

"Don't panic, don't panic, let me think about it carefully, let me think about it carefully." The queen murmured to herself, her eyes floating.

Duarte dared not disturb him, so he could only wait on the side in a proper manner.
