Chapter 971 Emergency Military Meeting on the Rhine Front

Britannia Empire, Rhine Front, Panlun Fortress.

In Panlun Fortress, there is a high tower, which people are used to calling it - Pigeon Tower.

As the name suggests, this is a high tower specially used to receive pigeons.

Because pigeons have various defects, the army usually uses messengers to convey military information.

Only when it is absolutely necessary, such as: a certain military information can no longer be delayed and must be delivered to someone as quickly as possible, will pigeons be used.

Because pigeons are not often used, and the Rhine Front has been very peaceful in recent years, the pigeon tower of Panlun Fortress has been very quiet over the years, and it has been a long time since a pigeon has been seen flying here.

However, today's pigeon tower is quite abnormal.

The pigeon tower, which was always very quiet, has become extremely noisy since this morning.

Because since this morning, a large number of pigeons have flown to the pigeon tower of Panlun Fortress.

Because there are too many pigeons, the staff responsible for receiving pigeons are a little insufficient.

"Why, why are there so many pigeons!"

"What's going on? What happened? Why are there so many pigeons flying here today?"

"Don't worry about it! Hurry up and move! The mailboxes on the legs of these pigeons must contain very important military information! Otherwise, the pigeons would never be used! Hurry up and collect these pigeons! Don't miss a single one!"

"Yes, yes!"

...

Similar noises echoed on the top of the pigeon tower.

These soldiers responsible for receiving pigeons naturally have no right to read the letter paper on the pigeon leg mailbox.

After pulling the letter paper out of the pigeon leg mailbox, the soldier who received the pigeon ran quickly towards the meeting room where the knights were meeting with the letter paper in his hand.

...

...

Panlun Fortress, meeting room.

All the knights in Panlun Fortress,

At this time, they gathered in the meeting room.

The people who presided over this emergency military meeting were naturally Iser and Albert, who happened to be stationed in Panlun Fortress.

Issel sat at the main seat of the long table, while Albert sat beside him.

The other knights sat on both sides of the long table, with a large map on the table.

Just as everyone was looking at the map on the table with a solemn and serious look, there was a knock on the door.

"Captain! Three more pigeons just arrived at the pigeon tower!"

"Come in." Issel shouted.

"Yes!"

After obtaining Issel's permission to enter, the soldier hurriedly held three pieces of letter paper, pushed open the door of the conference room, and then walked quickly to Issel and handed over the three pieces of letter paper in his hand respectfully.

After successfully delivering the three pieces of letter paper to Issel's hands, the soldier left the conference room very consciously.

Issel unfolded the three small pieces of letter paper one by one and read them at a glance.

"Isel." Albert, who was sitting next to him, asked, "What's written on it."

"These three pieces of letter paper come from three different strongholds." Isel said in a deep voice, "The contents of two of them are the same, both saying: A large-scale Frankish army has been detected to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Shupel."

"The other one says: They received a request for help from the Kingdom of Shupel, and the Frankish army had arrived at their capital yesterday morning."

After hearing Isel's words, the atmosphere in the meeting room became more solemn and serious.

Several knights exclaimed:

"They have arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Shupel?!"

"The marching speed is so fast..."

"At the current speed of the Frankish army, it may not take a few days for the Kingdom of Shupel to be destroyed by them..."

Isel frowned, threw the letter paper in his hand aside, and continued to look at the map on the table in front of him with a serious face.

This morning, they received the first military report sent by the first carrier pigeon-a large-scale Frankish army launched an invasion of the Kingdom of Shupel!

This military report came from a stronghold very close to the Kingdom of Shupel.

When they received this military report, Issel and Albert were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

Because they were all confused by the Frankish army - why did they attack the Kingdom of Shupel?

Before the two of them could come to their senses, the pigeons and the military reports on their legs came to the ** Fortress like a tide.

From all the information currently known, the Frankish Empire has dispatched more than 100,000 troops to attack the Kingdom of Shupel, and they are unstoppable.

Realizing that the matter was serious, Issel and Albert hurriedly summoned all the knights in the Panlun Fortress and held an emergency military meeting.

Not only Issel and Albert, everyone did not understand what the Frankish army was going to do and why they were attacking the Kingdom of Shupel? Did the king of the Kingdom of Shupel do something recently to anger the emperor of the Frankish Empire?

The knights of the Panlun Fortress collected the information sent back by the pigeons while inferring the purpose of the Frankish army's troops from the currently known information.

"Captain." A knight asked Issel, "Since the Kingdom of Shupel has asked us for help, should we respond?"

The latest intelligence just delivered shows that the Frankish army is now approaching the capital of the Kingdom of Shupel. The Kingdom of Shupel, unable to resist the invasion of the Frankish Empire, has sent a request for help to the Britannia Empire.

Issel pondered for a while.

Then shook his head:

"The Kingdom of Shupel is not our ally or vassal, and we have no obligation to help it."

"Besides, I think we should not act rashly before we fully understand the purpose of the Frankish army's dispatch."

"Is the purpose of the Frankish army's dispatch this time just to capture the Kingdom of Shupel?" At this time, a knight present suddenly said, "Because the Kingdom of Shupel is easy to bully, we plan to occupy the Kingdom of Shupel and make the country more extensive."

As soon as the knight finished speaking, Albert, who was sitting next to Issel, shook his head.

"Impossible." Albert continued, "According to the currently known intelligence, the Frankish Empire has dispatched at least 100,000 troops to attack the Kingdom of Shupel."

"The Kingdom of Shupel has only 6,000 troops. Why would it need to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to deal with such a small country?"

"The Frankish Empire must have other more important purposes to send such a large-scale army to invade the Kingdom of Shupel."

At this point, Albert sighed lightly, raised his hand and scratched his head with a distressed look, and whispered:

"What on earth is the Frankish army doing... Why did they send such a large-scale army to invade the Kingdom of Shupel..."

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Captain! Another pigeon just arrived at the pigeon tower!"

"Come in." Issel said again.

"Yes!"

After taking the newly delivered military report and reading it as quickly as possible, Issel's face showed a rare look of shock.

Albert keenly noticed the shock on Issel's face and asked him:

"Issel, what does it say?"

"...According to the observations and detections of the scouts." Issel said in a deep voice, "A larger Frankish army entered the territory of the Kingdom of Shupel late last night. According to the scouts' estimates, the second wave of Frankish troops that entered the Kingdom of Shupel was about 200,000 people."
