The reinforcements of the Holy Hillan Empire had been defeated by Deng Jiaer, and the remnants led by the civilians of the logistics forces fled eastward.

The 20,000 reinforcements that were about to arrive at the western front knew that Nikita's troops had been defeated and Nikita himself disappeared, hurriedly stopped moving westward. In order to preserve the only vital force now, they fled eastward, let alone rescue the western region, now they dare not even look back and look west.

The Eastern Army, which had lost all the obstacles, galloped all the way and marched like never before.

After learning that their reinforcements had been defeated by the Britannian army, the lords of the city along the way became even more scared and surrendered in sight.

The Eastern Army approached Arrier, the capital of the Holy Hillan Empire at an extremely fast speed.

In a blink of an eye, the new vanguard troops led by Raymond were only more than 30 miles away from Arriel...

...

...

The Eastern Army marched along the way, burned, killed and looted all the way, turning countless farmers into refugees.

Under the influence of the desire for survival, many refugees fled east frantically, and most of them flocked to the richest and safest place in their minds - Arrier.

However, they didn't know that Arriel was not a safe place now.

These refugees who fled here cannot be ignored. Therefore, all the refugees who fled here, the lord of Aler City, let them go into the city.

These refugees who escaped to Arriel and survived by chance tried their best to exaggerate the ruthlessness of the Britannian army.

The scale of the Britannian army has also become more and more exaggerated by the refugees.

The total strength of the Eastern Route Army was only more than 80,000, but it was whispered into an army of hundreds of thousands by refugees.

The exaggerated exaggeration of these refugees made the city of Aler filled with panic.

In order to prevent the city from rioting, the lord of Arrier sent a large number of people to appease the people's emotions and told them: Arrier is safe and it is impossible for the Britannian army to capture this place.

These words can only deceive the ignorant people.

All officials and nobles of Arrier knew that Arrier was very dangerous now.

Arriel is located in the heart of the Holy Hillan Empire. Since the founding of the Holy Hillan Empire, Arriel has never been threatened by any foreign enemies.

Arriel, who has been living for a long time, has a weak military preparation. The city's defenders have only 2,000 people, and they are all crooked. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the regular army of the Britannian Empire - the Knights.

How could such a shabby lineup beat the "hundreds of thousands" of Britannian Army?

If the lie is spread and spread over and over again, then the lie can become true. There are really many officials in the city of Arrier. The nobles believe that there are really hundreds of thousands of people in the Britannian army that are attacking.

As the Britannian army continued to approach Arrier, all the officials and nobles of Arrier were divided into two parts.

Some people advocated defending Arriel to the death.

Another group of people advocated taking all of Arriel's valuables and evacuating Arriel.

Those who advocated defending Arrier were mainly nobles.

Arriel was the capital of the Holy Hillan Empire, so there were naturally many nobles in the city.

There are 15 nobles living in the city of Arile - 1 duke, 1 marquis, 3 earls, 5 viscounts, and 5 marquises.

Among them, the only duke in the city of Arrier, Grand Duke Qixiuval, shouted the most fiercely, and ordered Arrier's lord to defend Arrier with a very tough tone, and would never allow the Britannian army to obtain Arrier.

The people who advocated taking all Arrier's valuables and then retreating were mainly officials led by Arrier City Lord.

These two groups of people have been fighting or withdrawing the dispute over the past few days.

Even though the vanguard of the Britannian army was only more than 30 miles away from Arriel, they were still quarreling endlessly.

...

...

Holy Sheeran Empire, Arriel.

"Ariel is the capital of our country! It is the heart of the western part of our country. How can we give it to the Britannians!"

An earl scolded Arrier's city lord in a fierce manner.

Arriel's city lord is Gennaji, a middle-aged man over 40 years old.

Needless to say, his personal abilities can be appointed as the capital's lord, of course he is very excellent.

Therefore, he is also the person who sees the current situation the most clearly.

When Gennadi learned that the reinforcements sent by the central government had been defeated by the Britannian army, he knew that Arriel would definitely not be able to defend.

Therefore, after learning that the reinforcements from our side were defeated, Gennaji insisted on retreating.

However, it was strongly opposed and obstructed by the nobles in the city of Arrier.

According to Gennaji's plan, he wanted to take all the valuables of Arriel to evacuate, destroy all possible things that could be used by the enemy, and then evacuate the residents in the city in batches, so as to escape as many as possible.

But thanks to the blessings of these nobles, the evacuation plan has been delayed.

The nobles not only did not allow officials in the city, but also soldiers to evacuate with valuables, nor did they allow civilians in the city to evacuate.

Until today, the nobles in the city have not yet let go, and have advocated defending Arriel to the death and never allow the Britannians to obtain Arriel.

Gennaji sat behind the long table expressionlessly, listening to the reprimands of the gorgeously dressed nobles at the table.

The person who stood at the forefront of the nobles was a middle-aged man who was so fat that he was no different from the ball.

Looking at the fat man's huge abdomen, Gennaji was a little worried that his clothes would be broken by his big belly.

This fat man is the only duke in the city of Arrier, and is also the great nobleman who can compare with few nobles in the entire empire in terms of their degree of dignity.

Duke Qishuwar is the most clamoring among all the nobles.

“Gennaji!”

The Grand Duke of Chishuwar shouted at Gennaji in a tough and rude tone:

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Arriel were given up?"

"Ariel is our capital! If we don't let go of a single arrow, our country will become a laughing stock for all countries!"

"I will never allow you to do something that will insult our country's dignity!"

Grand Duke Qixiuval reprimanded Gennaji with a loud voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other nobles standing behind him agreed with what Grand Duke Qixiuval had said just now.

Gennaji was still expressionless.

However, after listening to what Grand Duke Qixiuval said just now, he sneered a few times with a slight little movement.

He said in his heart:

——Afraid of being humiliated by our country’s dignity?

——You fat pig is just afraid that your family’s industry will be damaged!

——You borers that only hold the country back!
