News of Issel and Albert's 300,000 troops defeated on the Rhineland Plain soon reached Pandragon.

At that time, Ilsa was having lunch.

After learning of this tragic retribution, the knife and fork in Ilsa fell directly to the ground.

Ilsa was cold for a while and her mind was blank.

After the waiter beside her woke Ilsa up, she shouted loudly as if she collapsed:

"Go and call Mr. Jacob and Mr. Bancrore!"

At this moment, Ilsa subconsciously called out the names of two seniors, Jacob and Bancrot, who had always protected her.

Since Ilsa ascended the throne, state affairs have been going well.

This is the first time that Ilsa, as the emperor, has encountered such a major crisis, which makes Ilsa feel helpless...

...

...

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

At this time, the atmosphere in Ilsa's study was unprecedentedly solemn.

Ilsa, Jacob, Bancro... In short, the expressions of everyone present were so heavy and serious.

They don’t know how many years they have not heard of such a tragic retribution.

Ilsa seemed to be almost crying at this moment, looking helplessly at the big map at the table, and murmured:

"What to do...What to do..."

At this moment, a big hand suddenly pressed Ilsa's shoulder.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

The owner of this big hand is Jacob.

Jacob said to Ilsa in a calm and majestic tone:

"Your Majesty, although Issel and the others were defeated, according to the information sent back from the front, Issel and Albert are not dead yet."

"Isel, Albert and 150,000 remaining troops were trapped in a basin in the Rhineland Plain."

"From the current actions of the Frank army, they should be trying to siege Issel and the others until the supply is exhausted and then start attacking, so Issel and the others are currently safe."

"That is, we have every time we can send troops to rescue Isel and the others."

"Although we have lost a large number of troops now, our country still has considerable military strength that is enough to fight the Frank army again."

"Your Majesty, the situation is far from bad to the point where you need to be pessimistic."

"So, your majesty, calm down and cheer up."

Jacob's calm, calm, and majestic voice seemed to have a magical power, which made Ilsa, who was originally panicked, gradually calm down.

"...Hmm." Ilsa, whose dazzling eyes reappeared in her eyes, nodded heavily, "I understand."

After saying that, Ilsa stood up, faced the important officials in front of her, and then bowed and said:

"Sorry, I just lost my composure. As the emperor of the Britannian Empire, I just showed such an expression and said such words, which is really not necessary."

Ilsa's sudden apology surprised everyone present.

Jacob, standing beside Ilsa, secretly cast an admiring look at Ilsa.

Being able to accept your shortcomings and mistakes, and reflect on and apologize for your mistakes in time - this is a very valuable ability. This makes Jacob involuntarily look at Ilsa's eyes.

After apologizing to everyone, Ilsa sat back on her seat and began to discuss with everyone present how to fight the Frank army and restore the current situation.

The important officials present were mainly the military advisers of the central government.

Military staff is a position in the central government and is specifically responsible for making military suggestions for the emperor.

Generally speaking, military staff are held by knights who are not responsible for commanding troops, but there are exceptions.

For example: Bancrore.

Bancrolo's position is the chief diplomatic officer and military counselor.

As the name suggests, this position is to hold two positions, that is, to be responsible for leading the national diplomacy and to make military suggestions for the emperor.

Bancrot is a very rare military adviser who is a civilian.

Bancrolo is not only a rare military adviser from a civilian background, but also the leader of all the military advisers in the central government.

Because Bancrolo has strong military capabilities, there are always people who joke about Bancrolo: If Bancrolo does not enter politics and changes into the army, it is not impossible to become the leader of a certain knights.

Bancro always laughed at these jokes.

Because he knew that he just had strong strategic ability and had no ability to command the troops. If he joined the army, it would be a question whether he could become a knight, let alone become the leader of the Knights.

This time, Ilsa summoned Jacob and all the military advisers headed by Bancrore to study and discuss the current countermeasures.

Although Ilsa didn't understand military affairs very much, she could also see that the most urgent task now is to mobilize the troops!

Whether to rescue the remnants of Issel on the Rhineland Plain or to gather troops to prepare for the Franks' subsequent attack, enough troops must be mobilized.

So Ilsa asked Bancro directly:

"Bankro, I want to fight the Franks back! And save Issel and the others! What should I do?"

Bancro immediately explained to Ilsa one by one:

"Your Majesty, there are 4 troops that our country can mobilize at present."

"There are 120,000 troops of the Knights of Michael's Order in the North, 150,000 troops of the Knights of Uriel in the Central, 100,000 troops of the Knights of Rachel in the South, and 100,000 troops of the 100,000 troops of the various strongholds on the Rhine Front."

"First of all, the remaining troops on the Rhine Front cannot be mobilized."

"If the only 100,000 troops left on the Rhine Front are transferred, there will be loopholes in the defense of the Rhine Front."

"There are still some troops left on the western defense line of the Frank Empire."

"If there is a defensive loophole in our Rhine Front, the Frank army, which is still on the western defense line, will definitely take the opportunity to follow our loopholes and attack our homeland."

"So in order to ensure the defense of the Rhine Front, the 100,000 troops on the Rhine Front are absolutely not allowed to be mobilized."

"Then, the 100,000 Rachel Knights on the Southern Front could not be mobilized."

"The army of the 100,000 Rachel Knights needs to be stationed in the vast fronts in the south and monitor the Rollin Empire."

"Although the Luolin Empire is now in power, we cannot relax our vigilance."

"The Rolling Empire still has some capable ministers. They convinced their fool empress to let the fool empress take advantage of the fierce battle between our country and the Frank Empire and send troops to attack us north - this is not impossible."

"So, there are only two troops that can be mobilized now - the Knights of Michael in the north and the Knights of Uriel in the center."

"Although the Michael Knights need to station on the northern front and monitor the Holy Sheeran Empire, the northern front and the Rhine front and the southern front are different, so there is no need to divide a large number of troops to station in various strongholds."

"As long as the Knights of Michael can defend the stronghold of Muhavic, they can defend the Eghar Corridor and the entire northern front."
