Chapter 1077: On the Debris Flow
Pandragorn has gathered a good military force, which is similar to what they expected.
There are 2,000 soldiers from the garrison troops from other surrounding cities, plus the last 1,000 soldiers of the Royal Guards left by the Baiyang Palace, as well as the 200 members of the Delan Immortal Squad.
These 3,000 soldiers have all replaced the most exquisite equipment in the central treasury.
The originally prosperous center of Pandragorn has been transformed into a military defense zone full of solemnity.
This military defense zone is supported by three important buildings as the core.
These three important buildings are - Baiyang Palace, the bell tower of the Central Horse and Treasury Station, and the Central Treasury Building.
These 3 buildings are the tallest and most sturdy buildings in Pandragon.
These three crucial buildings can be said to be a driving force in this entire line of defense.
The loss of any of these buildings will lead to the collapse of the entire defense line.
Therefore, these three buildings must not be lost.
Therefore, the 3,000 soldiers currently gathered in Pandragon and the 200 members of the Delan Immortal Squad were divided into even three equal parts, led by Elisa, Enley and Jacob.
Alisa, Enley and Jacob also led their respective troops to guard the three buildings.
Alisa is responsible for guarding Baiyang Palace.
Enley was responsible for guarding the bell tower of the Central Horse Train Station.
Jacob guards the Central Treasury Building.
The three of them each perform their duties and guard different buildings and areas.
When Allen's rebels arrived at the city of Pandragorn, it was almost dusk. Because it was too late and it was not suitable to launch an attack, when he arrived at the city of Pandragorn, Allen did not immediately attack Pandragorn, but spread the army slowly and surrounded Pandragorn, leaving only a gap for the defenders in Pandragorn to flee.
Allen is waiting.
He was waiting for tomorrow's arrival, and when tomorrow's sun rose, he could launch an attack on the capital of the Britannian Empire.
And Ilsa and the others were waiting.
They are also waiting for tomorrow's arrival. When the sun rises tomorrow, they will be able to strike Alan's rebels head-on in the battlefield that has been carefully prepared.
Tick, tick...
At this moment, the drizzle of rain fell.
The originally clear night sky had a large number of dark clouds at some point.
It is summer now, and summer is a rainy season.
It was a sunny day just now, but it turned into a rainy day in a blink of an eye - this kind of thing can be seen everywhere in summer.
The originally drizzled raindrops gradually became denser, from the original drizzle to the light rain.
According to the trend of the rain, there seems to be signs of increasing heaviness.
"Your Majesty." Jacob turned to God and said to Ilsa on the side, "It's raining. Let's avoid it first."
Ilsa, who seemed to have been tired of the lights of the rebels outside the city, did not refuse Jacob's proposal. After nodding, he said softly:
"Well, let's go."
Speaking of this, Ilsa paused.
Then added:
"Everyone will have a break early tonight, and tomorrow will be very hard."
After saying that, Ilsa turned around first and walked under the city wall.
The others followed Ilsa and left Pandragon's east wall...
...
...
at the same time--
The Britannian Empire, somewhere within the territory of the country.
It had just started drizzling in Pandragorn, but it was already raining heavily here.
The pouring rain fell from the dark sky, and both the density of the rain and the intensity of the landing made people sigh.
A group of envoys hid under the shade of trees to avoid the pouring rain.
This group of envoys of more than ten people was sent to the Duke of Connaught to negotiate with the Duke of Connaught.
This group of envoys is relatively small, with only a dozen people, and the members are one envoy and 13 guards.
The sudden heavy rain made them 14 people hiding under the shade of trees to hide from the rain.
Because of the heavy rain, it is impossible to even create a fire under the shade of the trees.
According to this exaggerated rain, I probably can't leave tonight, so I can only wait until tomorrow.
Therefore, the guards took off their armor and leaned against the big trees to rest.
Or chatting casually and relaxing, or tilting your head and falling asleep.
The envoy sent by the Central Committee to negotiate with Duke Connaught is an official of the General Administration of Foreign Affairs under Bancrore.
After working in the General Administration of Foreign Affairs for more than 20 years, he is now a middle-aged man with half-white hair. The capable general under Bancrolo has outstanding diplomatic experience and achievements.
Negotiating with Duke Connaught - this is not a simple job, nor is it a job that can be fooled by at will.
Whether the Duke of Connaught is willing to send troops to rescue Pandragon—this directly affects whether Pandragon survives or dies.
After all, Duke Connaught has a team of 2,000 people with top-notch equipment and training levels.
With the help of these 2,000 people, Pandragord can last for a long time.
Therefore, no matter what, reinforcements from the Duke of Connaught must be invited.
Therefore, the envoy was under unprecedented pressure at this time...
He has never performed such a stressful task...
The carefree guards were chatting and sleeping at this time, while the envoys leaned alone against a big tree.
Thinking about how he should negotiate with Duke Connaught.
It was not easy to persuade Duke Connaught and ask him to agree to send troops to rescue Pandragon.
Although Duke Connaut was a vassal of the Britannian Empire, he shouldered the obligation to send troops to aid the central government when the central government needed it.
However—it is not guaranteed that the current Duke of Connaught remains loyal after facing the current tragic situation of the empire.
The Britannian Empire is currently facing the crisis of national destruction. There are hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched in the Rhineland Plain in the eastern region, and more than 100,000 rebels led by Allen are at the city of Pandragon.
Su Cheng's Knights of Michael became the last hope of the Britannian Empire.
The Britannian Empire was at this time in the greatest danger since its founding and was on the verge of destruction.
The current Duke of Connaught - Ron McCrudill felt that there was no future in following the Britannian Empire, and it was not impossible to decide to treason and collude with the enemy like Allen, and to turn to the Frank Empire.
In mainland history, there have been many such incidents in which the central government is about to collapse and domestic vassals turn to the enemy.
In addition, the relationship between the central government of the Britannian Empire and the vassals was also very ordinary.
The Britannian Empire was a highly centralized country, and the vassals were very weak.
The previous emperors of the Britannian Empire did not like these vassals very much, and always used ways to oppress and exploit these vassals.
At the roundtable meeting five years ago, the central government once again increased the "tribute tax rate" of the vassals, increasing the tribute taxes that the vassals had to hand over to the central government of the Britannian Empire every year.
