The Frank army surrounded the net, and the remaining troops were in the camp, and there were sorrows everywhere.

The morale of these 150,000 remaining troops is obviously sluggish.

Albert carried two water bags and walked towards the camp's main formation.

Along the way, you can see listless and dejected generals everywhere.

To a certain extent, this army with such a low morale has not yet collapsed, which is a miracle.

After entering the tent of the coach's camp, Albert saw Issel sitting at the table, looking at the map on the table expressionlessly.

"Issel." Albert said, putting the water bag in his hand on the table, "I'll bring the water for you."

Speaking of this, Albert paused and added:

"Remember to save some drinks, we don't have much fresh water."

"Um."

After nodding gently, Issel sighed:

"It seems that I am really old... I have implicated the entire army and suffered such a big defeat... I would have liked to see the true intentions of the Frank army earlier..."

"It's not your fault, Issel."

As soon as Issel finished speaking, Albert said immediately.

"No one expected that the Frank army would use a fleet to copy our retreat."

"Although we suffered a great defeat, we also brought great damage to the Franks."

"We are also defeated with dignity."

"If you lose, you will lose." Issel smiled bitterly, "If you fail, there is no distinction between 'defeating with dignity' and 'defeating without dignity'."

"And—not everyone did not see the true intentions of the Frank army."

"If Su Cheng was here, he might be able to see the true intention of the Frank army and then change the direction of the army's formation in time."

Speaking of this, Issel sighed and grabbed the water bag that Albert brought for him.

"Forget it, it's useless to say anything now."

After saying that, Issel unscrewed the water bag and started drinking the cow.

After drinking the water in the water bag in one breath, Issel asked Albert while rubbing the water stains on the corner of his mouth:

"Albert, what's the current supply reserve in the army?"

"In a word - very unoptimistic." Albert replied with a wry smile, "Military tents, tableware and other daily necessities are quite sufficient."

"But food, forage, and drinking water are seriously insufficient."

"Even if we save some food now, this little food and drinking water will only be enough for us to use for one and a half months."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, Issel immediately said:

"You don't have to worry about the storage of drinking water. It's raining now. It's raining every few days. Just connect the rain and then heat it with fire."

"What's the use of drinking water?" Albert said angrily, "It's true that rain will fall from heaven, but can bread fall from heaven?"

"..." Issel was silent.

"I also know that you don't have to worry about drinking water being exhausted." Albert sighed softly, "But what's the use of only solving the problem of drinking water? If a person wants to survive, he must rely not only on water, but also on food."

"Now, the Franks surrounded us tightly, and we couldn't even go out."

“There is no animal in the encirclement that can be hunted and eaten.”

"Even if we can dig the worms in the soil to eat, the worms in the soil cannot be eaten by us 150,000 people..."

Issel continued to remain silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"I actually have a solution to food."

"Oh?" Albert raised his eyebrows, "What countermeasure?"

"...I won't tell you for now." Issel whispered, "This is a countermeasure that needs to be used only when forced. I'll tell you when it's time."

"Let's find a way to save food loss now."

"When the food is finished, eat the war horse."

"When the war horses are all eaten, I will use my final solution."

Issel's tone became more and more powerful.

"Anyway, you have to hold on anyway."

"Stay on until reinforcements arrive!"

"Reinforcements..." Albert murmured, "I don't know if the reinforcements are in time..."

"We don't have to worry about reinforcements." Issel said, standing up, "We are worried about reinforcements here, and the reinforcements will not come faster. We just need to do what we can do now."

After saying that, Issel walked straight outside the tent.

"Isel, where are you going?"

"I'll go and see how the fortifications of the camp are built. Although the Franks clearly wanted to trap and starve us to death, they should not be careless. In order to avoid being attacked by the Franks, fortifications and patrols must not be missing."

...

at this time--

Britannian Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Command Room.

In the command room, the knights left at the Avalon Fortress gathered together.

After the "Overlord Counterattack", Su Cheng changed the garrisons of the Knights of Michael.

The 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the 3rd Army are stationed at the Muhavic Fortress, which is now located on the front line of the Northern Front.

The 4th Army was stationed at the No. 2 base closest to Baidi City, the capital of the northern border.

The 5th and 6th Army were stationed at the core of the northern front - Avalon Fortress

Compared with before the "Overlord Counterattack", the Avalon Fortress has fewer troops, so now there are naturally fewer knights left at Avalon Fortress.

Su Chengchao raised a piece of paper in his hand to all the knights standing respectfully in front of him:

"This is the commemoration from the central government that I just sent here."

"The 300,000 troops led by Issel and Albert were defeated in the Rhineland Plain."

"The two men's 150,000 remaining troops are now surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Frankish troops in the Rhineland Plain."

"The central government decided to dispatch the Uriel Knights to fight against the Frank army that is now entrenched on the Rhineland Plain and rescue Isel and the others."

"Your Majesty decided to lead the expedition in person and personally direct the expedition."

"Along with His Majesty, there are also the minister of Jacob and all the knights who stayed in Pandragon."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused.

Then he said in a half-joking tone to the knights who had already opened their mouths wide in shock:

"From the lineup, this expedition can be said to be extremely gorgeous."

When Su Cheng said these words just now, every time he said something, the shock on the faces of the knights was a little stronger and his mouth widened.

The reason is nothing special, because what Su Cheng said just now is so surprising.

In this era when transportation is inconvenient, the speed of information transmission is surprisingly slow.
