Chapter 702
Seeing this news, you choose:
Option 1: Women are no less than men! Immediately go to Charlemagne to join the army!
Option 2: War is a man's business. Return home and end the journey.
"I choose 1!"
Bradamante made the choice without hesitation. She was the daughter of the King's sister Aie and Duke Clement Aimon, and could be considered half a princess; how could she make any other choice!
And at this moment, on the other side.
In a palace, a young figure was sitting on a seat, sighing helplessly.
"Sure enough, the Aquitanians are attacking?"
This young man was Charlemagne, the legendary emperor who unified most of Europe!
However, this emperor had only just succeeded to the throne not long ago.
Some time ago, the previous King of Francia, his father Pepin, passed away. According to Frankish rules, the power and territory after death need to be divided equally among his legitimate sons.
Emperor Wu of Han would call this an expert move.
However, unlike the "Pushing Favor Edict," Emperor Wu of Han divided the power of various vassal kings, but the country was still to be passed on to the Crown Prince in its entirety.
Francia, on the other hand, treated everyone "equally" regardless of status.
Thus, Charlemagne and his brother Carloman divided Francia into two and governed their own kingdoms.
However, when Pepin divided the country, he had a trick up his sleeve; because he liked his youngest son, he gave all the places bordering foreign enemies to Charlemagne, while Carloman's neighboring countries were all friendly neighbors.
Helplessly, Charlemagne could only take over this mess... And sure enough, not long after Pepin died, the Aquitanians attacked.
"Forget it, as long as we brothers work together, we can easily deal with the Aquitanians."
Charlemagne thought this, then continued to watch.
August: You led a large army to the Montcontour battlefield. At this moment, because of your call, hundreds of warriors from all over Europe came here. Each of them had extraordinary strength, and you were quite delighted, so you organized them into a brave group!
However, at this time, you discovered that your brother Carloman did not appear!!!
"What!"
Charlemagne was stunned! Why! Why didn't his brother come!
Charlemagne brought 20,000 soldiers! He originally thought that adding Carloman's 20,000 troops to form a coalition of 40,000 would be enough to face the 30,000-strong Aquitanian army, but Carloman did not appear.
"What does he want to do!"
Charlemagne looked at the simulation in front of him. At this moment, two options also appeared in front of him.
Seeing that your brother did not come, you choose:
Option 1: How can 20,000 break 30,000? Immediately lead the troops to retreat, find Carloman, reorganize, and make a comeback!
Option 2: We can retreat, but where can the people of Francia hide! Fight to the death and do not retreat! Why can't 20,000 break 30,000!
Looking at the two options in front of him, Charlemagne already understood what his brother wanted to do!
"He just wants me to retreat, right?"
Once Charlemagne retreats, his majesty as a King will be gone! No one is willing to follow a monarch who only knows how to run away, and at that time, once Carloman leads his troops to defeat the Aquitanians, his prestige will reach its peak!
By then, will he still be the King of Francia?
"I choose 2! Fight to the death and do not retreat!"
Charlemagne made the decision immediately! Although he was heartbroken by his brother's betrayal, he was Charlemagne!
He would use his actions to tell everyone!
He! Is the true King of Francia!
