Chapter 976 Iser's defeated general
"Walter is a very capable veteran. Through his clever arrangement of troops, he defeated our three armies in one breath."
"The last army commanded by my father has not been defeated yet."
"My father has only 60,000 people, and Walter has a total of 230,000 people, and Walter's troops are in high morale because they have just defeated our three armies."
"From any perspective, my father was at an absolute disadvantage."
"But it was at such a disadvantage that my father successfully turned the tide and relied on the 60,000 people under his command to kill Walter's 230,000 troops."
"In that battle, my father's troops killed more than 100,000 Frank troops, killed and captured many Frank generals."
Speaking of this, Alyssa looked full of pride.
"This 'Four-Star' offensive has suffered heavy losses both in our country and in the Frank Empire."
"But thanks to my father's efforts to turn the tide, our country has avoided a humiliating defeat."
"Two years later, with his great achievements in the offensive of the 'Four-Stars', my father was promoted to the Integrated Knights. The leader of the Gabriel Knights became the 12th Integrated Knight in the history of the empire."
"It can be said that it is precisely through this 'Four-Star' offensive that my father finally obtained the qualification to become a unified knight."
After listening to Alisa's explanation quietly, Kylor finally showed a sudden enlightenment.
"Oh, I get it."
Kylor nodded and continued:
"That is, that Walter was defeated by Mr. Issel 11 years ago."
"Now, the commander-in-chief of the Frank army is this Walter, and the defeated man of Mr. Issel."
"That's right." Alisa continued with a smile on her face, "so I said this is good news."
"Well, it's good news," Kylor smiled. "It's really reassuring that this former subordinate defeated the future and became an opponent."
"So - grandma, take it easy." Alisa took a few steps forward to make herself closer to Belinda.
He raised his hand and patted Belinda on the shoulder, then continued:
"Give my father more confidence!"
"My father will definitely be able to return with great victory!"
"My father will definitely defeat Walter like the 'Square Star' offensive 11 years ago!"
After hearing Alyssa's comfort, the clouds of sorrow on Belinda's face became less.
"Yeah." Belinda nodded softly, and squeezed out a somewhat ugly smile, "I hope so..."

Britannian Empire, Rhine Front, somewhere.
A winding, huge "black giant snake" was "crawling" along the Rhine Front from south to north at a high speed.
This "black giant snake" was the Britannian army who rushed to the Rhineland Plain under the command of Issel and Albert.
The formation of Britannian soldiers in black armor, if they look down from above, would look like a huge black snake.
While rushing to the Rhineland Plain, there were still troops coming to join this "black torrent".
According to Issel's estimate, when he arrives at the Rhineland Plain, his command should be able to assemble an army of 300,000.
300,000 troops - this is already three-quarters of the combat power of the Rhine Front.
After the central government changed the troop allocation of each front, Albert led a 100,000 army of the Rachel Knights into the Rhine Front. In addition, the 300,000 Gabriel Knights originally stationed on the Rhine Front, the total number of troops stationed on the Rhine Front was as high as 400,000.
Issel brought three-quarters of the combat power of the Rhine Front to intercept the Frank army this time.
Iselben wanted to lead more troops, but the tight time would no longer allow him to do so.
Moreover, even if there is plenty of time, Issel cannot lead more troops.
Because—he could not bring all the troops on the Rhine Front.
The Rhine front is so long that all important strongholds must be left with enough soldiers to guard them.
If all the 400,000 troops on the Rhine Front were brought to the Rhineland Plain, it would be equivalent to the entire Rhine Front being in an unprepared state, which is quite dangerous.
Although judging from the current situation of the Frank Empire, they planned to use the Kingdom of Schuper and then break through the Rhine front of the Britannian Empire, the Frank Empire's offensive plan actually has another possibility.
That is: the attack on the Kingdom of Schuper was just a feint, the purpose was to lure Issel to lead most of the combat power of the Rhine Front to the Rhineland Plain. The real purpose was to wait until the defenses of the Rhine Front became weak, and concentrate the remaining troops in the empire to make a breakthrough somewhere in the Rhine Front, where the defenses became weak.
Such an offensive plan is not impossible.
So just in case, sufficient troops must be left in all important strongholds on the Rhine Front.
Issel could only take away 300,000 of them at most, and the remaining 100,000 troops could not be transferred no matter what. If these 100,000 troops were transferred, the Rhine Front would become unprepared. The Frank army, who was still in the Frank Empire, could break through the Rhine Front at any time by finding a place.
While rushing to the Rhineland Plain, there were constant messengers and scouts reporting to Issel that they had collected the frontline information, and how many troops had successfully arrived.
What Issel is most concerned about now is whether the Frank Empire has invested new troops to the front line.
At present, according to known information, there are only 300,000 Frank troops invested in combat.
The Frank Empire first dispatched 100,000 people to launch a first attack on the Kingdom of Schuper.
After 100,000 people attacked the land of the Shupel Kingdom, another 200,000 Frank troops left the Frank Empire and were thrown into the front line.
When Issel arrives at the Rhineland Plain, he will also have 300,000 people.
300,000 to 300,000 - the troops are equal. With the troops being equal, Issel has sufficient confidence to drive the Franks back.
But if the Frank Empire subsequently invests new troops to the front line, the result will be hard to say...

Kingdom of Schuper, Boshu border.
In just a few days, the Frank army conquered the Kingdom of Shupel, flattened the entire Kingdom of Shupel, and approached the "Bousule of Bushu".
The 300,000 Frank army was launching a fierce attack on the "Bushu Border" where only a few thousand people were stationed.
These thousands of Britannian troops relied on various strongholds to resist tenaciously.
Although it is supported by the geographical location of the stronghold, it is only a matter of time before the "Bushu border" is broken through in the face of the fierce attack of the 300,000 Xilan army.
Bazer was responsible for leading the 100,000 troops of the 1st Fortress and launching a first attack on the Kingdom of Schuper.
After Bazer's first formation attacked the Kingdom of Schuper, Walter led another 200,000 troops of the second formation to the Kingdom of Schuper, following Bazer's first formation.
Walter is not only the commander-in-chief of the Nibelungan Project, but also the 200,000 army of the 2nd Fortress himself.
While waiting for the "Bushu border" to be successfully broken through by them, Walter also sent a large number of scouts to collect Issel's intelligence.
When Walter learned that Isel had led his army to the direction of the Rhineland Plain, he smiled proudly:
Chapter completed!
