Chapter 974 "Four Stars" Offensive (Part 1)

Darlene watched the swift horse drive away.

His brows wrinkled unconsciously.

——I always feel that... since the evening before yesterday, I have seen many fast horses rushing towards the city in a hurry...

——Where are these fast horses going...

While Darlene was thinking this, she couldn't help but look towards the tall building group in the distance - Baiyang Palace.

——Those fast horses seem to be heading towards the palace...

——Did something big happen...

As a soldier, Darlene was very sensitive to the hurried sound of horse hooves.

Subconsciously, I thought that something big must have happened, so these messengers were needed to deliver the message in a hurry.

——Forget it, no matter how I guess, it’s impossible to guess what big thing happened.

——No matter what big thing happens, it won’t affect me, so I’ll just ignore it.

Darlene, who had made up her mind, stopped paying attention to the fast horses that had appeared in the city since the evening before yesterday, and continued to wander carefreely through the streets and alleys of Pendragon, looking for delicious food. Of and fun...

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.

Ilsa, Jacob, Bancro and a group of important ministers were all gathered together at this time.

The serious expressions on everyone's faces made the atmosphere in the entire study extremely solemn.

After Iser saw through the true intentions of the Frank army, he immediately sent a message to the imperial capital and informed the central government of this vital information.

After learning that the Frank Army planned to use the territory of the Kingdom of Schupel to break through their Rhine front, the solemn atmosphere in the center has continued to this day.

In order to deal with the invasion of the Frank Empire, Ilsa and the important ministers in the central government have been busy these days.

Either in an emergency meeting or on the way to an emergency meeting.

For example, right now, an emergency meeting is being held in Ilsa's study to discuss and share the latest frontline intelligence received.

"Your Majesty." Bancro said solemnly to Ilsa, "The latest military report has just been delivered. The Frank army has arrived at the 'Busch border' and started fighting with the defenders of the 'Busch border'."

"How many troops have been gathered at the 'Bushu Border' now?" Ilsa asked Bancro in a hurry.

"After realizing the true intention of the Frank army, Iser promptly used carrier pigeons to send orders to the surrounding strongholds of the 'Bushu border', asking nearby soldiers to assemble towards the 'Bushu border'." Bancro replied, "Although time is very tight , but 3,700 soldiers have finally been gathered at the 'Bushu Border'. If they stick to the few strongholds on the border, these 3,700 soldiers can probably hold off the Frank army for 2 to 3 days."

Having said this, Bancroft paused for a moment, and then continued:

"The entire Kingdom of Shuper has fallen, but the royal family and a group of civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Shuper have successfully escaped into our country."

"Now, the king of the Shuper Kingdom has made a request for asylum to us, asking for our assistance."

As soon as Bancro finished speaking, Ilsa waved her hands with a tired face:

"Bancro, you are the head of foreign affairs. I will leave this matter to you. Please place the royal family members and civil and military ministers of the Shuper Kingdom in a safe city."

"The Frankish Empire's target is us, and the reason why it attacks the Kingdom of Shuper is just to use their territory to launch an attack on us."

"So I believe that they will not spend a lot of effort chasing the remnants of the Shuper Kingdom. After placing the royal family members and civil and military ministers of the Shuper Kingdom in a city slightly farther back, they should be safe. "

"As for helping them regain their country, let's wait until later. We are too busy taking care of ourselves now, so we don't have the energy and ability to help them regain their country."

"Yes." Bancro said respectfully.

"Alas..." Ilsa let out a long sigh filled with tiredness, then turned her gaze back to the big map in front of her, "Where are Isel and Albert's troops now?"

This time, another minister replied:

"Iser and Albert have led the troops to the Rhineland Plains. While marching, they are constantly absorbing the troops that have gathered later."

"According to the latest report from Iser, they should be able to assemble an army of 300,000 troops when they arrive in the Rhineland Plain."

"As long as there are no accidents, they should be able to reach the Rhineland Plain in time and intercept the Frank army there."

After listening to the minister's report, Ilsa's face finally showed a bit of joy and a bit of relaxation.

"Has the Frank Empire invested new troops?" Ilsa asked again.

And the minister just now replied again:

"No, according to current intelligence, the Frank Empire has only invested 300,000 troops. So far, the Frank Empire has not invested new troops in the front line."

"Is it still 300,000..." Ilsa murmured, "In other words, after Iser and the others successfully intercept the Frank army on the Rhineland Plain, will it be a big battle between 300,000 and 300,000... …”

The minister just said that according to the latest report sent back to the imperial capital by Issel, after they successfully arrive at the Rhineland Plain, they should be able to assemble a large army composed of the Knights of Gabriel and the Knights of Raziel with a total strength of 300,000.

According to current intelligence, the Frankish Empire currently has only 300,000 combat troops deployed on the front line.

Therefore, when Issel and his team successfully arrive at the Rhineland Plain before the Frankish army, a 300,000-300,000-scale battle will break out on the Rhineland Plain.

300,000-300,000-the scale has exceeded the "Overlord Counterattack" three years ago.

In the three-year "Overlord Counterattack", if the navy is not counted, the total strength of the combat troops participating in the battle on both sides is only 420,000, 300,000 from the Holy Hilan Empire and 120,000 from the Knights of Michael.

In this upcoming battle, the total strength of the combat troops participating in the battle on both sides is as high as 600,000... It is a bit inappropriate to use the word "astonishing" to describe the scale of this battle.

For a battle of this scale, if Ilsa didn't feel nervous and scared, she would be lying.

"Ha..." Ilsa let out a long breath to ease her emotions.

Then, Ilsa whispered:

"Can Issel and the others win..."

Although Ilsa's voice was low, because the study was very quiet, everyone in the study could hear Ilsa's low voice clearly.

After Ilsa's low voice fell, the atmosphere in the study became more solemn due to the emotional changes of everyone.

Both sides have 300,000 troops, and they don't have any advantage in terms of military strength.

In this case, there is really no guarantee that Issel and the others can win...
