Chapter 994: Michael Knights Prepare for War (Part 2)

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, all the knights immediately started discussing.

"The 300,000-strong army led by the captains of the Knights Gabriel and Rachel were actually defeated?"

"No way……"

"how come……"

"And His Majesty actually went on the expedition himself..."

"What do we do now?"

…

In response to the heated discussion among his subordinates, Su Cheng sighed helplessly and said:

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Su Cheng's volume was not loud.

But his words seemed to have magic power. After he said these words, the entire command room immediately fell silent. Everyone closed their mouths obediently and looked at Su Cheng.

After everyone calmed down, Su Cheng told everyone how Issel was defeated in the simplest terms possible.

The order that had just been delivered to the Avalon Fortress not only wrote about Iser's defeat and Ilsa's personal expedition, but also detailed how Iser and the others were defeated.

After learning that the reason why Iser and the others were defeated was because the Franks dispatched a large fleet, blocked all the crossings of the Isou River, cut off Iser's retreat, and attacked Iser and the others from behind. After the surprise attack, many people took a deep breath.

"When did the Frank Army have such a huge fleet..." Willy murmured, standing not far from Su Cheng.

"It can be seen from the current intelligence that the Frank Empire has been preparing for this battle for a long time." Su Cheng said lightly, "The Frank Empire may have been preparing for this battle for more than ten years... No, it may take even longer. long."

"Captain." Willie asked Su Cheng, "Has the central government issued any orders to our Michael Knights?"

Su Cheng shook his head.

"No. The central government did not give us any orders at all. It only told us to monitor the Holy Hiran Empire."

"I thought the central government would let us rush south to aid the Rhineland..." Willy whispered.

"Even if we are told to go south,

There is no time. "Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "The remnant army in the Rhineland is now in danger and is in urgent need of rescue. "

"We don't know how long it will take when our Michael Knights go south."

"The best choice is to dispatch the Uriel Knights who can quickly rush to the Rhineland Plains."

"Moreover, the Holy Hiran Empire is now in an alliance with the Frankish Empire, so we, the Michael Knights, need to stay in the north to monitor the Holy Hiran Empire."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, a knight suddenly said:

"Is the Holy Hiran Empire still capable of launching foreign wars?"

This question of this knight was echoed by many people.

The "Overlord's Counterattack" three years ago and the "Aurora" offensive two years ago - the Holy Hiran Empire suffered these two disastrous defeats in a row.

Although it formed an alliance with the Frank Empire and received free help from the Frank Empire, it survived the various crises caused by these two major defeats and saved the country, but the national power of the Holy Hiran Empire still plummeted.

In terms of overall national strength, the Holy Hiran Empire is now inferior to the Frankish Empire.

And although the Holy Hiran Empire survived and saved the country, there are still many lurking crises in the country.

No matter how you look at it, the Holy Hiran Empire should now focus on restoring its national strength and maintaining national stability.

It is absolutely foolish to launch a foreign war at this time.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the knight to raise this question.

After thinking for a while, Su Cheng replied:

"I also think the possibility of the Holy Hiran Empire launching a foreign war at this time is very low."

"But it's better to be cautious."

"After all, the current emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire is not a normal person."

"He is famous for his great success. He always wants to build an unprecedented and great foundation."

"In order not to miss this rare opportunity to fight, regardless of the current weakness of the country, they forcefully squeeze out an expeditionary force to attack us - this possibility is not impossible."

"So don't be careless."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng changed into a serious tone.

"From now on, the entire Knights of Michael enter a state of preparation for war."

After noticing that Su Cheng's tone became serious, everyone in the command room immediately focused their attention and listened attentively.

"Strengthen the surveillance of the Holy Hiran Empire. If there is any disturbance in the Holy Hiran Empire, it must be reported to me immediately."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng suddenly paused, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Su Cheng turned his head and said to Willy beside him:

"Willy, go to Baidi City in person. Meet with Mr. Humphrey and ask Mr. Humphrey to make all kinds of preparations for the luggage from now on."

After that, Su Cheng walked to the table, pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer of the table, picked up the quill pen placed on the corner of the table, and started writing "swish, swish, swish" on the paper.

After writing the paper full, Su Cheng handed the paper to Willy.

"After meeting Mr. Humphrey, hand this piece of paper to him. In any case, persuade Mr. Humphrey to prepare the luggage from now on."

After Willy took the piece of paper from Su Cheng, he read it roughly.

The first half of this piece of paper contains routine greetings and polite words.

The second half is the main business.

The main business is actually very brief. It can be roughly summarized in two sentences:

[The current situation is critical. In order to be on the safe side, the Knights of Michael must be ready to rush south to any battlefield at any time.

Therefore, I hope you can start preparing for the baggage immediately.

I have only one request: when the Knights of Michael set out to the south, all kinds of baggage are sufficient, and all baggage can keep up with our speed of going south. ]

Some of the words used in Su Cheng's letter reveal a strong atmosphere.

However, because Su Cheng and Humphrey have a good personal relationship, even if some words are tough, Humphrey should not care.

After solemnly putting away the letter, Willy nodded seriously:

"Yes, I will definitely deliver this letter safely to Humphrey and persuade Humphrey to prepare the baggage."

"You may not even need to speak." Su Cheng said in a half-joking tone, "Mr. Humphrey cannot fail to understand how critical the current situation is, so after he finishes reading my letter, he may nod hurriedly and say 'get started immediately'."

After adding some work that the knights need to do next, Su Cheng clapped his hands and said loudly:

"Okay, let's end this meeting today. It's getting late, let's all go."
