Darlena watched the fast horse go away.

His brows frowned unconsciously.

——I always feel... Since the evening before yesterday, I saw many fast horses rushing into the city in a hurry...

——Where are these fast horses going?

While thinking this, Darlena couldn't help but look at the tall building group in the distance, Baiyang Palace.

——Those fast horses seemed to be heading towards the direction of the palace...

——Is something big happening?

As a soldier, Darlena was very sensitive to these rushing horse hooves.

I subconsciously thought that something must have happened, so I needed these messages to make people rush to send messages.

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

——Anyway, no matter what big thing happens, it won’t affect me, so I’d better not pay attention to it.

Darlena, who made up her mind, no longer cared about the fast horses that appeared in the city since the evening of the previous day, continued to wander around the streets and alleys of Pandragon without worry, looking for something delicious and fun...

...

Britannian Empire, Pandragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.

Ilsa, Jacob, and Bancrore had already gathered together at this time.

The serious expressions of everyone made the atmosphere of the entire study very solemn.

After Issel 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 crucial information.

After learning that the Frank army was planning to break through their Rhine front with the territory of the Shupel Kingdom, the solemn atmosphere in the central government continued until now.

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

Either you are holding an emergency meeting or on the way to an emergency meeting.

For example, now, an emergency meeting is held in Ilsa's study to discuss and share the latest front-line information we have received now.

"Your Majesty." Bancro said in a deep voice to Ilsa, "The latest military report has just arrived. The Frank army has already approached the 'Bushu border' and has started a battle with the defenders of the 'Bushu border'."

"How many troops have the 'Bushu Border' assembled now?" Ilsa asked Bancrolo quickly.

"After realizing the Frankish army's true intentions, Issel promptly sent a command to the surrounding strongholds of the "Bushu Border" with carrier pigeons, requiring nearby soldiers to assemble to the "Bushu Border". "Bankro replied, "Although time is very tight, the "Bushu Border" has finally assembled 3,700 soldiers. If you defend the strongholds on the border, these 3,700 soldiers can probably hold the Frankish army for about 2 to 3 days."

Speaking of this, Bankro paused for a moment, then continued:

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

"Now, the king of the Kingdom of Schuper has made us requests for refuge and requested that we provide assistance."

As soon as Bancrolo finished speaking, Ilsa waved her hand exhausted:

"Bankro, you are the chief diplomatic officer, so you can leave this matter to you. Please place the royal members of the Shupel Kingdom and the civil and military ministers in a safe city."

"The Frank Empire's goal is us. The reason why we attacked the Kingdom of Schuper was just to use their territory to launch an attack on us."

"So I believe they will not spend a lot of effort to pursue the remnants of the Shupel Kingdom. After placing the royal members of the Shupel Kingdom and civil and military ministers in a city slightly behind, they should be safe."

"As for helping them restore their country, let's talk about it later. We are too busy to take care of ourselves now, so we don't have the energy and ability to help them restore their country."

"Yes." Bancrore responded respectfully.

"Ah..." Ilsa let out a long sigh full of fatigue and turned her eyes back to the large map in front of her, "Where are the troops of Issel and Albert now?"

This time, another minister replied:

"Issel and Albert have led their troops to the Rhineland Plain, and while advancing, they have been constantly absorbing the subsequent gatherings."

"According to the latest report from Issel, they should be able to assemble a large army of 300,000 when they arrive at the Rhineland Plain."

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to arrive at the Rhineland Plain in time and intercept the Frank army in the Rhineland Plain."

After listening to the minister's report, Ilsa's face finally showed a little joy and a little relaxed look.

"Have the Frank Empire invested in 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 yet invested new troops to the front line."

"Is it still 300,000..." Ilsa murmured, "In other words, will it be a 300,000-300,000 battle after Issel and his friends successfully intercepted the Frank army on the Rhineland Plain?"

The minister just now also said that according to the latest report from Issel back to the imperial capital, after they successfully arrived at the Rhineland Plain, they should be able to assemble a large army composed of the Gabriel Knights and the Rachel Knights with a total military strength of up to 300,000.

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

Therefore, if Issel and his team successfully arrive at the Rhineland Plain before the Franks, a 300,000-300,000 battle will break out in the Rhineland Plain.

300,000 to 300,000 - the scale has exceeded the "overlord counterattack" three years ago.

The three-year "Overlord Counterattack" is not counted as the navy, but the total military strength of the combat troops participating in the war between the two sides is only 420,000, the Holy Hillan Empire is 300,000, and the Michael Knights Order is 120,000.

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

Ilsa is not nervous or afraid of a large-scale battle of this scale, it must be a lie.

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

Then Ilsa murmured:

"Can Isel and the others win..."

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

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

Both sides have a large army of 300,000 and have not gained any advantage in terms of military strength.
