The first fire started late at night, in Okalong's residence.It was a three-story building, a luxurious mansion built almost overlooking the entire block.The flames quickly surrounded, and the fire was raging in the dark background.

Then, using this as a signal, the fuel storage facilities installed all over the city were set on fire.The storage place, where piles of firewood and barrels filled with grease were placed, turned into a clot of red lotus flames, stirred up by the night wind blowing from the north.Fire powder scattered.The fire spread instantly.

Aluteum is a city with a long history.Before the establishment of Brunei Kingdom, it existed as a small town.

After Brunet's layout was planned and developed, residential areas and shops continued to emerge on the outer side of the town, but the landscape near the center remained unchanged.

That is to say, only the walls, ceilings and beams are made of stone, while the floors, doors and windows are all made of wood.And the gap between the former residential houses is very small.It took a split second to move the fire to another house.

Because it was late at night, most of the people fled late.Even if they walked out of the house, they were blocked by the fire everywhere, and there were few people who were lucky enough to walk to the city gate.

There are rivers flowing in the central and north-eastern parts of Alutsum.There were quite a few people who jumped into the river to avoid the flames, but almost all were not saved.

Even though winter is almost over, the river water is still very cold in the middle of the night.Moreover, the flames fanned by the wind created a growing wall of fire along the river to oppress the people.Countless people drowned, suffocated by smoking too much black smoke.

Cold winds blowing from the north greatly intensified the fire.Blocks in the southeastern part of Alutsom were damaged by near total burns.

The fire that covered the entire city continued to burn.It wasn't until the next night that the fire finally disappeared.

The people who were expelled by the fire had to deal with countless corpses this time in a city that was no different from the ruins.

At the same time, news of Gunrung's death spread throughout the northern part of the Brunei kingdom.Not to mention the cities of Lutetia, the nobles who had been with Shungang Takashi but did not participate in this war also suffered a big blow.They were all shaken and embarrassed.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Ganglong Army who had lost to the Tenardier Army the other day had completely fled.

Those who have not been taken in by the Tenardier Army and the Silver Meteor Army have no monarchs they can rely on, and can only wander on the land of Brunet.

"Try it and offer a truce to the Duke of Tenardier."

Looking around at his companions, Tigre made this proposal.Allen was the first to react.Her red eyes flashed sharply.

"Is that, to rescue Alutesm?"

Tigre nodded, he said slowly.

"I heard that when the Muorginel army attacked from the sea, the Duke of Tanardier led his troops to confront them in order to protect the coastal cities."

If Tenardier sets his sights on the hegemony of the Brunais Kingdom, Arutesm will sooner or later become his own city.If it can be rebuilt soon, he should also agree.

Although Tigre said that, he did not receive a response from those present.

"You are right. But Tenardier will not agree."

Cao Shurui said seriously.

"For the great nobles like them, the feud of killing their sons is unbearable. Your priority is the highest. How can you be more important to civilians and cities."

Ellen and Mila also shook their heads.

"Tigre. Even if you make this request, the other party will only suspect that you are trying to buy time. Because you have the reputation of repelling the Muoginel army, you can call in soldiers."

Cao Shurui and the two war princesses objected together, and Tigre looked at Mashas and Lim.But I didn't get the expected response.

"Tigre, your heart is noble, but you can't do everything. At least after you win the Duke of Tenardier, there may be a turning point."

Cao Shurui took a risk not to say "don't see the situation clearly".The army is running out of food, what can you do to save people?

"I see."

"Sir Tigre Wilmuder."

Reiki spoke to Tigre in a calm voice.

"It's me who's to blame. Please don't feel unnecessary pain."

"But, Your Highness..."

Tigre seemed to want to say something more.He was interrupted by the voice of a soldier begging for an audience from outside the tent.Mashas stood up and stepped outside to correspond.The old earl immediately returned to the camp and said with a puzzled face.

"It seems that the Duke of Tenardier has sent a messenger."

Chapter 053 The Last Battle (3))

What was announced by the envoy of the Duke of Tenardier was a customary request in such a war.

In short, as long as you surrender and hand over the head of Tigre Wilmund Voluen, all other nobles can be saved, and there will be no problem with territory and titles.

"Furthermore, I have no interest in disturbing the Kingdom of Gistato at all.I hope that Eleonora Vertalia and Lyudmila Laurie will bring their soldiers back to the Kingdom of Gistato immediately. 』

——There was no mention of Reiki in the manifesto.This made Cao Shurui narrow his eyes.

"What an old fox." Cao Shurui sighed.

Knowing that the princess did not talk about it here, it seemed that he was determined to let Reiki die together.

"What should I do, Tigre?"

The messengers were waiting in other tents.Alan asked Tigre that.

"Let's try to remind you of the truce you just said."

Mashas said that with a bitter expression on his face, and he could see that he had recovered from his anger.

In fact, Tenardier's words are hard to know how much to believe.Even if he doesn't exploit territories and titles, he probably won't let Masjas and Ogier be his companions at an early stage.Even if you don't do it now, you will do it in a year or two.

"I feel like I'm asking for something as a condition of accepting a truce. After seeing this."

"They want to have a form of temporarily persuading surrender. Make a request that is not inferior to his high-handedness."
