As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the knights immediately started to discuss.

"The 300,000 army led by the commander of the Knights Gabriel and the commander of the Knights Rachel were defeated?"

"No way..."

"How could it be..."

"And Your Majesty actually led the army to fight in person..."

"What are we going to do now?"

...

Su Cheng sighed helplessly and said:

"Okay, it's all quiet."

Su Cheng's volume was not loud.

But his words seemed to be magical. After he finished speaking, the entire command room immediately became quiet, and everyone was obediently closing their mouths and looking at Su Cheng.

After everyone calmed down, Su Cheng used as simple as possible to tell everyone how Issel and the others failed.

The messenger that had just been delivered to Avalon Fortress not only describes Issel's defeat and Ilsa's personal expedition, but also describes in detail how Issel and the others were defeated.

After learning that Issel and the others were defeated because the Frank army dispatched a large fleet, blocked all the ferries of the Issel and the others, and launched a surprise attack on Issel and the others from behind, many people took a breath.

"When did the Frank army have such a huge fleet..." Willie, who was standing not far from Su Cheng, murmured.

"From the current information, we can see that the Frank Empire has been preparing for this battle for a long time." Su Cheng said lightly, "The Frank Empire may have been preparing for this battle for more than ten years... No, maybe it will take longer."

"Captain." Willy asked Su Cheng, "Have the Central Committee issued any orders to our Knights of Michael?"

Su Cheng shook his head.

"No. The central government has not issued any orders to us at all, but only asks us to monitor the Holy Hillan Empire."

"I thought the central government would let us go south to help the Rhineland..." Willie whispered.

"Even if we are asked to go south, there will be no time." Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "The remnants of the Rhineland are in danger and need rescue in urgent need of rescue."

"I don't know how much time it will take until our Knights of Michael move south."

"The best choice is to dispatch the Uriel Knights that can quickly rush to the Rhineland Plain."

"And, the Holy Hillan Empire is now in an alliance with the Frank Empire, so we need to stay in the north to monitor the Holy Hillan Empire."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, a knight suddenly said:

"Does the Holy Hillan Empire still have the ability to launch a foreign war now?"

This question of this knight has been echoed by many people.

The "Overbial Counterattack" 3 years ago, and the "Aurora" offensive 2 years ago - the Holy Hillan Empire suffered these two consecutive defeats.

Although after forming an alliance with the Frank Empire and receiving free help from the Frank Empire, they survived various crises caused by these two major defeats and saved their national fortunes, the national strength of the Holy Hillan Empire still plummeted.

In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Holy Hillan Empire is not as good as the Frank Empire now.

Moreover, although the Holy Hillan Empire survived and saved its national fortune, there are still many crises lurking in the country now.

No matter how you look at it, the Holy Hillan Empire should now focus on restoring national strength and maintaining national stability.

Launching a foreign war at this time is definitely a dementia.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the knight to raise this question.

After thinking for a while, Su Cheng replied:

"I also think that the possibility of the Holy Hillan Empire launching a foreign war at this time is very low."

"But it's better to be careful."

"After all, the current emperor of the Holy Hillan Empire is not a normal person."

"He is famous for his great achievements. He always wants to build an unprecedented great foundation."

"In order to miss this rare fighter, despite the current weak national strength, we squeezed out an expeditionary force to attack us - this possibility is not without it."

"So you can't be careless."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng changed into a serious tone.

"From now on, the entire Knights of Michael will enter the state of preparation."

After noticing that Su Cheng's tone became serious, everyone in the command room immediately focused and listened attentively.

"Strengthen the surveillance of the Holy Hillan Empire. As long as there is any slight disturbance in the Holy Hillan Empire, you must report it to me immediately."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng suddenly paused, and a little hesitation appeared on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Su Cheng turned his head and said to Willie beside him:

"Willie, you go to Baidi City in person. Meet Mr. Humphrey and ask Mr. Humphrey to prepare for all kinds of baggage from now on."

After saying that, Su Cheng walked to the table, pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer of the table, and picked up the quill that was placed in the corner of the table, and began to write on the paper "swish" and swish".

After writing this piece of paper in full, Su Cheng handed the piece of paper to Willie.

"After meeting Mr. Humphrey, give him this piece of paper, and in any case, he will persuade Mr. Humphrey to prepare his baggage from now on."

After Willie took the piece of paper handed over by Su Cheng, he began to look at it roughly.

The first half of this piece of paper is filled with routine greetings and polite words.

The second half of the content is the main thing.

The content of the matter is actually very short. If you summarize it briefly, you will find two sentences:

[The current situation is critical. In case of precautions, the Knights of Michael must be prepared to go south to any battlefield at any time.

Therefore, I hope that you can start the preparation of baggage immediately.

The lower officials had only one requirement: when the Knights of Michael set out to move south, all kinds of baggage were sufficient, and all baggage could keep up with the speed of our trip south.]

The words used in certain parts of Su Cheng's letter exuded a strong atmosphere.

However, because Su Cheng and Humphrey have a good personal relationship, Humphrey should not care even if the tone of some words is tough.

After solemnly putting the letter away, Willy nodded with a serious look:

"Yes, I will definitely deliver this letter to Humphrey safely and persuade Humphrey to carry out the preparations for the baggage."

"You might not have to speak." Su Cheng said in a half-joking tone. "Mr. Humphrey cannot understand how critical the situation is now, so after he read my letter, he might nod his head in a hurry and say, "Go to do it immediately."

After adding some work that the knights have to do next, Su Cheng clapped his hands and said aloud:
Chapter completed!
