The Holy Hillan Empire, the imperial capital Alianmuya, a certain tavern.

"Cheers to El's safe return!"

The tavern is filled with Gabriel's loud voice.

After Gabriel's loud voice fell, El and Camille raised the wine glass in their hands with helpless expressions and clinked the glass with Gabriel.

El, Gabriel and Camille sat around a table in the tavern, holding a shabby celebration.

The content of this celebration is: Celebrating El's safe return from the miserable Western battlefield.

After the three of them finished touching the glass, they drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

After drinking the hot drinks in the glass, Gabriel let out a comfortable moan and laughed:

"El, it's a shame that you can come back from the Western Battlefield!"

"After learning that the reinforcements we sent to the West suffered a great loss, Camille and my teacher were both worried, afraid that you would have any accidents."

"Sorry." El tickled his hair, "It made you worry."

Because Elle issued a closure order to prevent his subordinates from telling others about his feat of stopping Deng Jiaer's attack with one person in the western battlefield, almost no one except Elle's subordinates at that time knew that Deng Jiaer would withdraw at that time. A large part of the reason was that Elle came forward to dissuade Deng Jiaer.

"Oh, this battle is really miserable." Gabriel sighed, "both in the east and west, they were beaten very badly, especially in the west."

This year should be regarded as the most tragic year since the founding of the Holy Hillan Empire.

At the same time, he was attacked by the Britannian Empire and the Far Eastern Grassland people, and was attacked on both sides.

There is no need to elaborate on how badly the West was invaded by the Britannian Empire.

The Far East, which was attacked by the grassland people, was also beaten miserably.

During last year's "Harm" battle, Wahiri, the emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire, transferred 100,000 troops from the Far Eastern Front to participate in this grand battle.

These 100,000 soldiers from the Far Eastern Front had either died in the Eghar Corridor or were captured by the Michael Knights, and were then taken to be free coolies.

The Far Eastern Front, which had 100,000 new forces, naturally suffered great combat power.

After the "Harm" operation, the Far Eastern Front not only lost 100,000 troops, but also lost an excellent commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front was originally Dominic.

However, after the "Harves" battle, Dominic fell ill due to self-blame, ashamed and stressed, and has not recovered until now.

Dominic, who had fallen ill, naturally could not be competent for the position of commander-in-chief of the Front, so the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front was now replaced by another marshal.

And this new commander, in terms of personal abilities, is naturally under Dominic.

A commander-in-chief with poor ability led a front army with less than 100,000 troops - using such a lineup to fight the fierce Hungarians, the situation of the battle is naturally quite tight.

After the Hungarians launched a full-scale attack on the Far East of the Holy Xiran Empire, there was no place in the Far East defense of the Holy Xiran Empire.

Faced with the powerful attack of the Hungarians, the Far Eastern defense line of the Holy Xiran Empire was torn apart.

A large number of Huns followed these torn holes and attacked the Far East of the Holy Xiran Empire and robbed them.

It was not until the central government urgently allocated a batch of reinforcements that it finally barely defended the broken Far East defense line and did not allow more Hungarians to "miss" in.

After realizing that he could no longer gain more benefits from this war, the Hungarians retreated in mid-June.

Under the attack and plunder of the Huns, the Far Eastern territory of the Holy Xiran Empire was also seriously damaged, but it was not as serious as the West.

After all, the ultimate goal of the Britannian Empire's attack this time was to attack the national strength of the Holy Hillan Empire.

Therefore, whether it is attacking or destroying, the Britannian army is organized, organized and planned.

The Huns just simply robbed. There was no organization or plan at all. They were just like a bunch of robbers, robbing whatever they saw.

The Holy Hillan Empire was defeated and lost in the inter-strike between the two countries. Both the west and the east were beaten miserably and destroyed miserably.

Anyone who has a little wisdom and knows some knowledge of national politics can see that it - after this two countries' attack this year, the Holy Hillan Empire will no longer be a "superpower".

Not to mention the "superpower", whether the Holy Hillan Empire can maintain the integrity of the country now and prevent the country from perishing is a question.

Because after this two countries' attack, there is still an important issue waiting for the Central Committee of the Holy Hillan Empire to deal with.

That is the reconstruction of the eastern and western territories and the handling of refugees.

The reconstruction of the eastern and western territories can be done slowly, but the treatment of refugees can be said to be urgent.

If the millions of refugees are not properly handled, these millions of refugees are very likely to launch riots.

The refugee riot of this scale directly caused the Holy Hillan Empire, whose military and financial resources have declined greatly, to destroy the country. It is not impossible.

After Gabriel finished speaking, Camille, who was sitting next to him, smiled with a "hum" with his nose, and then said:

"If our country wants to continue its national destiny, then its only option is to alliance with the Frank Empire."

"According to my estimate, our country's current national strength is not half as good as before the launch of the "Iron Hammer" operation."

"Whether such a weak national strength can handle the current refugee wave well is a big problem."

"We need to form an alliance with the Frank Empire and then get help from the Frank Empire."

"As long as the Frank Empire can help it, it is not difficult to survive the current crisis."

"And as long as we form an alliance with the Frank Empire, the Britannian Empire will no longer act rashly. We can also gain the strength to compete with the Britannian Empire and the "Brainian-Hungarian Alliance" of the Hungarians."

Speaking of this, Camille paused as if he had remembered something, and then continued:

"In fact, after we learned that the Britannian Empire and the Hungarians were allied, we should have formed an alliance with the Frank Empire. As long as we allied with the Frank Empire, we could liberate a large amount of combat power of the Southeast Front."

"As long as we can liberate a large amount of combat power from the Southeast Front, we may have different results whether it is the 'Harm' battle or this battle this year."

"I really don't know what Wahiri was thinking..."

Before Camille could finish his words, El hurriedly raised his hand to cover Camille's mouth.

"Camille..." El smiled helplessly, "This is a public place, so it's better to say less of this kind."

"Associate with the Frank Empire...what if our emperor is still unwilling to form an alliance with the Frank Empire?" Gabriel asked Camille.

"If our Emperor still doesn't want to form an alliance with the Frank Empire." Camille pulled El away from her hand, "Then there is no hope for such a country, so it's better to perish as soon as possible."

"Okay, OK." At this time, El said helplessly, "Don't talk about such heavy things anymore, just talk about happier things."

Speaking of this, El turned his head and asked Gabriel beside him:

"By the way Gabriel, how have the development of the musket been like these days when I am not here?"

As soon as El finished speaking, Gabriel shrugged:

"Nothing progressed, the money was spent very quickly, but nothing was obtained."

"But--the blacksmith named Oleg seems a little strange lately."

"Strange?" El wondered, "What does it mean?"

"In the past few days, he has always been holding a few flints and staring at these flints. I don't know what he is thinking. El, you can ask him what's wrong with him? Why do you have to be like a lunatic and keep staring at some flints."
