Chapter 986 Seeking Help From the Far East

but……"

Bancro changed the subject.

"It may be too late to call in the Michael Knights for support now."

"The Michael Knights are far away in the north. It will take a lot of time to mobilize them south to support them."

"Iser and Albert were defeated and were trapped in the basin of the Rhineland Plain. They must not have much supplies."

"If we want to rescue Iser and the others, we must do it before Iser and the others run out of supplies."

"So we don't have much time to wait for the Knights of Michael to arrive and help."

"And I don't recommend moving the Knights of Michael south."

"The Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire have now formed an alliance. The Frankish Empire is now launching a large-scale attack on our country. The Holy Hiran Empire cannot be without any movement."

"So now we should let the Knights of Michael continue to station on the northern front and monitor the Holy Hiran Empire to prevent any unexpected events."

"So, the only troops we can mobilize now are the Uriel Knights currently stationed in the Imperial Capital Circle."

After listening to Bancro's concise and clear explanation, Ilsa frowned slightly.

"Let the Uriel Knights attack... But considering the military strength of the Uriel Knights, wouldn't it be a bit too reluctant to rely on the Uriel Knights alone..."

"Your Majesty, this is what I'm most worried about right now."

Having said this, Bancro sighed softly, and then continued:

"According to the intelligence sent back from the front line, Iser and the others were defeated by the fleet that suddenly appeared in the rear."

Ilsa and the others now know the news of Iser's defeat, so naturally they also know how Iser was defeated.

"The Frankish Empire not only invested in the army this time, but also invested in the naval fleet. According to intelligence, the total strength of the two armies is as high as 400,000 to 600,000."

"Even if they lost a lot of military strength in the decisive battle with Iser's troops, they still have at least a total strength of more than 400,000."

"And the total strength of the Uriel Knights is only 150,000.

The strength of the two armies is quite different..."

Bancro's words made the atmosphere in the study become even heavier.

Ilsa frowned deeper, and then asked urgently:

"Is there nothing we can do?"

"...We can only place our hope in the abilities of the knights of the Uriel Knights."

Speaking of this, Bancroft paused, and then continued:

"Or - find a way to boost the morale of the generals of the Uriel Knights."

"Morale is a very important thing when two armies are fighting. It is nothing new for an army with high morale to defeat an enemy army several times its size."

"Morale has become high?" Ilsa asked doubtfully, "How to do it?"

Bancro thought for a while, and then replied:

"If you want to raise the morale of a troop in a short period of time, there are two simple ways."

"One is to use large sums of money to reward generals."

"The other is to have eminent men lead them."

"A famous person?" Ilsa asked doubtfully again.

Ilsa can still understand the first method.

But Ilsa doesn't quite understand the second method.

After Bancro organized the following words, he explained to Ilsa:

"Let me give you a simple example."

"The same army, Your Majesty, do you think this army has high morale when it is commanded by an unknown knight, or does it have high morale when it is commanded by Captain Cheng?"

As soon as Bancro finished speaking, Ilsa said softly "Oh" and then nodded:

"I understand."

"Judging from the current situation, there seems to be no big shot in the imperial capital who can instantly boost the morale of the generals of the Uriel Knights, so this second method is not feasible."

"So, we can only start with the first method, which is to transfer a large amount of funds from the central treasury and distribute them to the generals of the Uriel Knights."

"And set up an effective incentive system."

"How many Franks you kill and what level of Franks you kill will determine how much you will be rewarded."

"If you do this, the morale of the generals of the Uriel Knights should be improved to a certain extent."

"Well, that's all we can do." Ilsa nodded.

Then, Ilsa let out a sigh full of fatigue:

"Alas...Apart from the Uriel Knights, are there really no other troops to deploy..."

"Your Majesty, it's a pity." Bancro said with a bitter smile, "Except for the Uriel Knights, there are really no troops left to mobilize."

"The combat effectiveness of the garrison troops guarding various cities is very poor. They can only fight bandits. It is too reluctant to fight against the Franks. Forcing them to the battlefield may have the opposite effect."

"However, we don't have nothing to do but let the Uriel Knights attack."

"We still have allies."

Bancro's words made Ilsa's eyes light up.

Until now, Ilsa has forgotten that they have an ally in the Britannia Empire that they can ask for help.

"Your Majesty." Bancro continued, "While we are working hard to integrate the troops of the Uriel Knights and prepare for the attack, we should also send envoys to the prairie of the Far East by sea to contact the Huns."

"Although the Huns are barbaric and uncivilized, they still know how to fulfill their obligations as allies."

"The Huns will never sit idly by in the face of our current difficulties. They will definitely use troops against the eastern part of the Frankish Empire."

"Although it will take a long time to ask for help from the Huns, by then, the Huns will be able to attract enough attention from the Frankish Empire and help us share a lot of pressure."

As soon as Bankro finished speaking, Ilsa nodded vigorously:

"Okay! Let's do it! Bankro, regarding the request for help from the Huns, this matter is left to you. Organize an envoy group to the Far East immediately!"

"Yes!" Bankro respectfully accepted the task.

Bankro is the chief diplomat, organizing people to negotiate with other countries-this is his job.

After giving orders to Bankro, Ilsa turned her eyes back to the map in front of her.

"Although the Huns can help us relieve a lot of pressure, whether we can drive the Frank army back depends on ourselves..."

Ilsa smiled bitterly.

"Although a large amount of money can indeed improve the morale of the Knights of Uriel, I always feel that this is not enough..."

"We must do more to make the morale and fighting spirit of the Knights of Uriel higher..."

Just as Ilsa was thinking, the guard's announcement suddenly sounded outside the study:

"Your Majesty, an old waiter who claims to be Manny requests to enter."
