Chapter 1171: The Unusual Movements of the Luolin Empire

You said - do we still have a chance to take back the land we lost 5 years ago?

- In the casual conversation of some soldiers of the Luolin Army

After leaving Jacob's room, Su Cheng walked quickly towards Ilsa's study.

This study was originally the study of Gozewen.

When there were some state affairs to discuss with some ministers, Gozewen would summon these ministers to the study.

After Gozewen abdicated, this study was handed over to Ilsa for use.

And Ilsa also perfectly inherited her grandfather's habit of discussing state affairs with ministers in the study.

It is precisely because everyone knows that Ilsa inherited this habit of her grandfather, so when Su Cheng learned that Ilsa summoned him to the study, he would determine that Ilsa must have something to discuss with him.

Entering the study, Su Cheng saw Ilsa who had been waiting there for a long time and Bankro who had just met at the door of Jacob's room.

Elsa sat behind the desk, while Bankro stood sideways in front of the desk.

Except for Elsa and Bankro, there was no one else.

"Your Majesty." Su Cheng saluted and greeted Elsa.

As soon as Su Cheng's greeting fell, Elsa immediately said:

"No need to be polite. Captain Cheng, come here quickly."

"Yes."

After obtaining Elsa's permission to be exempted from the formalities, Su Cheng stood up and walked quickly to Elsa's desk.

After walking to Elsa's desk, Su Cheng found a map on the desk.

At a glance, Su Cheng recognized it - this is a border map of the Britannia Empire and the Rolin Empire.

Looking at this map, a bad premonition emerged in Su Cheng's heart.

"Captain Cheng."

After Su Cheng stood in front of the table, Elsa sighed lightly, and then continued directly.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't engage in unnecessary small talk."

"The reason why I summoned you two so suddenly is because I just received bad news from the southern front."

"There has been an unusual movement in the Luolin Empire. The soldiers on the southern front have detected that the Luolin Empire is stockpiling supplies and gathering troops in the northern border."

The bad expectation that just came to his mind has actually come true, which makes Su Cheng's face appear solemn.

Bankro's face also appeared solemn.

The Luolin Empire is stockpiling supplies and gathering troops in the northern border-it is self-evident what the Luolin people want to do.

"...This is really bad news..." After saying that, Bankro sighed lightly.

"Well..." Su Cheng on the side also nodded in agreement with a gloomy face.

Although Su Cheng and Bankro's hearts sank when they learned that the Luolin Empire was planning to launch an attack on them, they were not surprised or shocked by this.

After all, the current situation of their Britannia Empire is so bad that it is strange not to let countries like the Luolin Empire, which have been bullied by them, have some "unreasonable thoughts".

"From the current situation, the situation has not reached the worst time."

Ilsa continued at this time.

"Queen Bella of the Luolin Empire has not made up her mind whether to launch an attack on our country."

"So - we still have a chance to end the Luolin Empire's attack on us through negotiations."

"Before discussing who to send to the Luolin Empire. Captain Cheng, please allow me to ask a question first."

After that, Ilsa raised her head and looked at Su Cheng seriously, and then asked word by word:

"Captain Cheng, do you think - do we have the ability to deal with the invasion of the three countries of the north, east and south at the same time?"

"..." Su Cheng lowered his head,

while looking at the map on the desk, thinking.

After a long while, Su Cheng spoke:

"... Your Majesty, have the people on the southern front monitored the total strength of the Roland Army currently deployed on the border?"

"About 100,000, and they are still increasing their troops."

"100,000... and they are still increasing their troops...?" Su Cheng murmured.

Su Cheng still has some basic understanding of the current defensive strength of the southern front.

Starting from the 294th year of the imperial calendar last year, the empire changed the deployment of troops on the southern front and the Rhine front because it decided to focus the offensive on the east.

The Raziel Knights, with a total strength of 200,000, were divided into two.

Captain Albert led 100,000 troops to the Rhine Front, and Issel was in charge of the 300,000 Gabriel Knights to guard the Rhine Front together.

Deputy Captain Harry Brown was responsible for commanding the remaining 100,000 people and continued to guard the southern front.

After silently weighing the combat power comparison between the enemy and us in the south, Su Cheng shook his head gently.

Then he said in a deep voice:

"At present, there are only 100,000 troops on the southern front."

"If these 100,000 troops are commanded by Mr. Albert, then - defending the southern front should not be a problem."

"It's a pity that the one who is in charge of commanding these 100,000 troops is Harry Brown, the deputy commander of the Knights of Raziel."

"Although I don't mean to belittle Deputy Commander Harry, but - his ability is indeed not as good as Mr. Albert."

"Deputy Commander Harry may find it difficult to compete with the Rolin army commanded by Bal de Lu."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but recall the fierce battle with the Rolin army 5 years ago.

In the fierce battle five years ago, the veteran general Bar de Lu left a very deep impression on him.

In the southern battlefield five years ago, the Britannia Army's camp was extremely luxurious.

Su Cheng, Albert, Allen, Alyssa, Willy, Deng Jiaer... these knights with extremely famous names all participated in the "Summer Wind" offensive five years ago.

On the other hand, there were no other famous generals on the Rollin Empire side except Bar de Lu.

However, Bar de Lu relied on his own strength to fight the Britannia Army commanded by Su Cheng, Albert and others, and reversed the situation several times.

It's a pity that there is a Su Cheng on the Britannia Army side.

Although Bar de Lu was defeated by him, Su Cheng still respected this veteran and recognized his ability.

If the Rollin Empire really launched a northern expedition against the Britannia Empire, then the commander of the northern expedition would definitely be Bar.

Facing the Luolin Army led by Bal, Su Cheng felt that the southern front led by Deputy Commander Hal would be in danger.

Ilsa wanted to know whether their country was capable of dealing with the attacks of three major powers at the same time given their current situation.

The reason why Su Cheng was summoned was to listen to the opinions of an expert in this field.

After learning from Su Cheng that this idea was unrealistic, Ilsa sighed:

"It seems that the best solution is to seize the opportunity when Queen Bella of the Luolin Empire is still hesitating whether to send troops to attack our country, and send an envoy to the Luolin Empire to persuade Queen Bella to stop the attack on our country..."

After that, Ilsa turned her head and looked at Bankro on the side.

"Bankro, as the chief diplomat, who do you think is more appropriate to send to the Luolin Empire?"
