In the hall, only Fiora was left to take care of Joan of Arc who had just accepted the reality. Bai Zhou and Mengshan seemed to feel that it was too awkward to stay inside, so they walked out together.

"Young Master, you took a great risk to rescue her from the Burgundy Army camp. Now you are going to let her go, right?" Meng Shan just heard Bai Zhou promise Jeon Arc that she could leave at any time. He felt that this was not in the interests of the people of the Western Qin Dynasty. It is necessary to remind the young master.

Although Mengshan also felt that this little girl was very pitiful, it was not his business, nor did it have to do with Xi Qin. Everything was at most, they could only be considered as fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire. Therefore, "sympathy" for this thing is not within Mengshan's consideration.

Allowing Joan of Arc to leave freely was not a decision made by Bai Zhou for a moment of soft heart, but also after some consideration.

At that time, he decided to rescue Joan of Arc because he wanted to rely on her and sell a favor to the French. Fortunately, he used their force to threaten the Burgundians' lair from behind.

But the problem is that the French royal family seems to have already found out and want to achieve their goals regardless of everything. If the royal family's attitude is to ignore Joan of Arc, then Bai Zhou can still rely on the card Joan of Arc to contact the various French nobles and cooperate with the military operations of the Western Qin people. However, the royal family's attitude now is far beyond Bai Zhou's expectations - it is no longer just indifference to Joan of Arc's death, but directly involved.

This means that the royal family will not allow their nobles to participate in the quagmire of war because of Joan of Arc, especially since the war originally had nothing to do with them.

Since this is the case, it would be useless for Western Qin to keep Joan of Arc before leaving her, so she would simply give her freedom. Besides, if the royal family really gave the deposit to the people of Western Qin, it would be considered that Joan of Arc would not be saved in vain. Although she could not get the military support that Western Qin needed most, it would be good to exchange for some food and money.

Bai Zhou told Mengshan his considerations, and then he was about to talk about the joint meeting tonight. At this moment, Michuan walked over quickly and said to Bai Zhou: "Young Master, General Mengzhimeng came to report that the Burgundian army was less than thirty miles away from the Belfort Mountains."

"So fast?" Bai Zhou and Mengshan said at the same time.

Less than thirty miles means that the opponent is likely to have already reached the Belfort Mountains during the Western Qin Dynasty’s transmission of troops.

Originally, the coalition forces calculated that the main army of Burgundy would arrive at the fastest time in the evening tomorrow. Unexpectedly, they were more than a day earlier. This was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Mengshan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How many troops are there?"

If it is only a force of more than 10,000, then it can be understood that this is the vanguard of the Burgundians. In this case, it is not terrible.

"I heard from the return that all the troops in Burgundy seemed to be like simple vanguards. And the flag of the Duke of Burgundy also appeared in the team." I have to say that Mi Chuan brought very bad news. The appearance of the Duke's flag here means that this force is the main force of the Burgundians.

"Transmission! Mengzhi, Menggo retreated into the inner side of the Belfort Mountains, and did not contact the enemy for the time being. Other generals of the coalition forces asked them to return to Basel quickly. By the way, Xiaobao sent someone to him to quickly deal with the defeated soldiers and tell him that time was tight and he could not leave any living!" Bai Zhou realized that something was wrong, so he immediately asked the secret guards around him to go to various places to pass the orders.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

About two hours later, the generals of the coalition forces who were called were very excited at first, comparing with each other's results, making a noise, but when they heard what Monshan said, the main force of the Burgundians had already arrived at the Belfur Pass. At the first moment, everyone was stunned. Then, with a "buzz", it seemed to be a blowout. The little nobles of Italy and Switzerland's Germanic were the ones who changed the most.

Bai Zhou pointed to the map and looked at the terrain around Belfort. He wanted to know how the Burgundian army would arrive one day earlier than expected, unless there was a small path, yes, Belfort and the place to its west were originally the territory of Burgundy. Not to mention that the Western Qin people who came from afar did not know whether there was a path that could save time in this place. Even the Germans in the Swiss or Wolfgang, who was born in the Holy Roman Empire, would not know. There were several specific roads that could lead to the Belfort Mountains.

When Baizhou went to Burgundy Camp, it should be just one of them. Baizhou didn't care about it at the time, but just walked along the main road. Looking back now, there may be several small paths that can take fewer detours, but at that time they were running for their lives, so they could not take the risk of taking an unfamiliar path.

"Bang!" A loud slap attracted everyone, including Bai Zhou, and it turned out that Wolfgang slapped on the face of a Swiss Germanic nobleman.

"You, you, why did you hit me?" The little nobleman covered his face, looking like he wanted to take revenge but did not dare. Obviously, he recognized who Wolfgang was and asked himself that he was not Wolfgang's opponent, whether he was Pin himself or his father.

"You're talking too much nonsense." Wolfgang threw down a sentence and didn't explain too much. Perhaps in his opinion, Wolfgang was disdainful to explain this kind of guy.

"Your Highness, your temper is too big." The one who came forward to speak was Ilia, one of the four German military leaders, and the little noble who was beaten just now, who was his man: "Even if you are a prince, you can't hit people at will. You know, he is not yours!"

After all, if his subordinates were beaten, Ilia, as the master, naturally had to say a few harsh words, otherwise all her face would be completely lost.

"Fortunately he is not ours." Adolf Lunn, who is beside Wolfgang, responded: "If it were my subordinates who said such escape before the battle, I would definitely kill him with my own hands."

"You!" Ilia wanted to say something, but she was pulled by Fein and Luka beside her. Everyone knew that now was not the time to argue. If you have the energy, it would be better to discuss how to face the enemy.

"Young Master," Meng Shan called Bai Zhou, "You should say something quickly, otherwise, I see that everyone's expressions are not right."

This is a serious enemy, and the enemy may enter their defense line at any time. More importantly, at present, their military strength with their opponents is not on the same order of magnitude and panic. This is very normal, especially among the generals of the coalition forces with uneven military literacy.

Although Bai Zhou is the youngest in the hall, there is no doubt that the battle that just ended perfectly ate the 5,000 Burgundian cavalry. The military arrangements from beginning to end were planned by Bai Zhou, making his abilities recognized by everyone. Moreover, Bai Zhou's identity as the Duke of Switzerland is real. Except for Bai Zhou, the reputation of others is not enough to convince everyone. Therefore, Mengshan hopes that Bai Zhou can say something quickly and make the atmosphere in the hall return to normal. After all, if you let it go, you may even start to fight each other later.

"Yes." Bai Zhou nodded to Mengshan, then clapped everyone. The nobles and generals also turned their attention to Bai Zhou.

At this moment, Bai Zhou said, "Give up Belfort, all the troops, and withdraw back to Basel in turn."

"What!"

"Why do you think this is the case?"

The hall started to make a noise again.
