In the Belfort area, it has finally become a little popular, and you can see patrolling Burgundy soldiers everywhere.

After Claude retreated to Belfort, he realized that he had seen through his arrangements at the beginning, but he still let his soldiers endure the cold wind on the mountain like an idiot. However, fortunately, he did not send the last ten thousand Burgundian soldiers there. Otherwise, Claude could imagine that now this place would be owned by the people of Xiqin.

The first thing he did after returning to Belfort was to gather the last ten thousand soldiers here, preparing to rely on the terrain to prevent Western Qin's attack. He knew that he had to persevere here until the arrival of the Duke's army. If he not only lost Betaine, Dassault, but also Belfort, then even if the Grand Duke would not execute himself for his past contributions, his career would end here.

Claude had informed Duke John of everything that happened in Basel through a messenger. Now that the reply had not arrived yet, he could only wait quietly.

Claude is a smart man. He took all the faults of this defeat on himself. If he did this, the Grand Duke would not be too difficult for him, because the Grand Duke should be able to see who the defeat was the reason for this defeat. If it weren't for the two underestimating the enemy, how could such a consequence have been? And the other nobles of all sizes would not blame him anymore. After all, Claude had already borne most of the sins. If these nobles were to hold on, what would the Abals family think?

It is very simple. If Claude put this mistake on Betton and Dassault, there would be more people who would denounce him, and he would not say that the Duke would sacrifice himself to calm the "anger" of everyone.

However, it would be useless to think about it now. Claude knew that he could not lose Belfort anymore, but he knew his opponent's combat effectiveness. Now, besides being cautious in making arrangements to prevent his opponent from sneak attacking, he could only pray that they had no other thoughts about Belfort.

I never expected that today the opponent sent an envoy to negotiate. This was beyond Claude's expectations. Logically speaking, the best way for the Western Qin people is to take down Belfort as soon as possible, rely on these mountains to block the Burgundian army.

This made Claude think a little more. In addition, he learned about the situation of the Western Qin people with Alberto before coming. He seemed to understand why the opponent has not launched an attack on Belfort, or even a tentative attack.

The opponents have few people and cannot afford to consume them! Or they have newly occupied Switzerland, and their foundation is unstable and there is no food to support them in launching an attack!

Claude's mind was faster than others. If Bai Zhou knew that Claude could analyze these just by not sending troops to attack Belfort, but came to negotiate, he would definitely focus on "care" this guy.

Of course, Claude also "welcomes" someone to negotiate. Now for him, as long as he no longer fights, everything is easy to say. This is not to say that Claude was scared by the Western Qin people and dare not fight with him again, but Claude understood that relying solely on his own group of miscellaneous armed forces to bully ordinary French farmers, but if he was sorry for the Western Qin armed forces, he would have no other way except to be defeated. But he now has a clear mind, and his opponent's concerns are no less than himself. Since this is the case, he is not afraid that Western Qin would put forward any harsh conditions.

"West Qin Baichen, I am the fourth brother of the Duke of Switzerland. My elder brothers are still counting your prisoners of war. So, on behalf of Xi Qin, I came to discuss with you some topics that both of us are interested in." Bai Zhou originally planned to directly report his real name, but after meeting Mengshan, he felt that Mengshan's concerns were also very reasonable, so he made up a name and changed his identity.

The duke's younger brother, this identity, is to tell the other party that although he is not the duke himself, he is also noble and can make a decision on behalf of the duke. As for why he chose the number "four", Bai Zhou considered that he was young and the name of the fourth brother should be more in line with his age. Moreover, he also implicitly told the other party that he had three older brothers, and even if he caught him, it would have no effect on the entire Western Qin.

"Count the prisoners of war?" Claude's face changed, but immediately covered it up well. "It seems that your speed is very slow. It's been a day and the prisoners of war have not been counted yet? Do we need help?"

Of course, in fact, Claude was worried about the safety of Betan and Dassault. Although he told the Duke in the war report that he was captured, he actually didn't know where they were. It was a helpless move to say that to the Duke. After all, there is still a big difference between death in battle and being captured.

"That's not necessary, but this time I caught two of your big names, so it was a little troublesome to deal with it." Bai Zhou replied as if he was not concerned about his own affairs.

"Can you tell me who are those two?" Even if Claude was anxious, he would not show it on his face now. If he did that, there would be no other benefit except to make his opponent more arrogant. Moreover, he seemed to be sure now that the arrival of the fourth brother was to deal with the prisoners. Although Claude was very confused, because logically speaking, the matter of prisoners of war usually took place after the war was over, but it was related to Betton and Dassault, so the faster the better.

"Haha, we have been talking for so long, but I don't know who you are." Bai Zhou smiled. Although Claude's expression had not changed much, it was the same as if it was not important, Bai Zhou knew that if it was not important, this guy would definitely not ask that question. Obviously, for him, Beta and Dassault are still very important. Since he knew this, Bai Zhou naturally wanted to cheer up his appetite. As for his name, Bai Zhou had already started to investigate and understand. Including the last time when Bai Zhou captured Dassault, he had known which one was the main master in the guards. However, there must be a suitable statement, otherwise, how could he explain to others that he knew who Dassault was from the beginning?

Name: Viscount of Burgundy Yadak—Claude von Hasdale

Commander: ★★★★★

Cruel: ★★★★★★★★★★★★

Interior:★★☆

Loyalty:★★

Pious:★

Specialties and other unknown

Tsk tsk, the eight-star brutal generals are almost able to catch up with Mengshan, and they are also a decisive and decisive commander. It seems that the "ambush circle" that Belfort first set up was the work of this guy. The last time he asked him to escape in Basel, if you only consider it from a combat perspective, capturing one him is much more cost-effective than capturing two guys one or two stars. Of course, if you consider it from a "value", Claude's value is not proportional to his ability. The loyalty of two stars and the piety of one star, this guy has a higher ability, the greater the harm to Burgundy.

Bai Zhou's current "exploration" can only detect the main attributes of the generals of different forces, and they cannot tell the special features. However, only the main attributes are enough for Bai Zhou to make a basic judgment.

"Sorry, my name is Claude, and it is Viscount Burgundy." Claude said calmly.

"Oh? I'm sorry, I captured an earl of your house and a guy who will be an earl in the future. You are just a viscount. It seems that talking to you is not very good to me..." Bai Zhou did not finish his words deliberately.

Claude also understood what Bai Chen meant, because he felt that his title was too low and was not qualified, but this was fine, which meant that he was indeed talking about Betton and Dassault. For Claude, since it was confirmed that Betton and Dassault were captured and Xi Qin was willing to negotiate on this issue, that was enough.

"I understand, why don't I send someone to take you to see my Duke? I believe his qualifications must be enough." Claude's original intention was to mock this little guy. He expected that he would not dare to go, and there was no need to see Duke John, so that he could fully represent him if he really wanted to negotiate.

"Thank you then." Bai Zhou smiled, stood up, bowed to Claude, regardless of whether the Burgundian understood the meaning of the action.

Bo Zhou had to ask the viscount to send someone to take him to find the Duke of Burgundy, because no one else could make the decision about Joan of Arc, so if he had not been familiar with Burgundy, and had to go there, he had to pass by Belford, so Bo Zhou really didn't have to come to find Claude.

"This... OK." Claude was really stunned. Unexpectedly, the child really agreed. However, since he had said this, it was not easy to change his words, so he agreed and immediately sent someone to find the Duke's army with Xi Qin and others.
