Chapter 85 The war machine starts

The next day, in the chamber of the Palace of Baiss, the ministers, William, Jessica and others gathered here as they did last night, but their faces were no longer as worried as yesterday, because Buffon had just reported the latest battle situation to King William and the military. The Iss Lightning Corps had indeed suffered more than half of the casualties, and the remaining troops were also loyal to Princess Anne under the leadership of the former commander of the Legion Del. They are currently heading towards the border between Baisss and Iss, preparing to fight back to Balathan.

"Haha! I really didn't expect that Roger would give me such a big wake-up!" William was now full of joy. The most helpless Is army was wiped out in an instant and could counterattack back. Now Baiss' pressure was greatly reduced.

"But... Father, Roger, he heard that he was seriously injured and continued to participate in the battle before he healed. This would be too dangerous..." Jessica said worriedly.

"Daughter! Don't worry, Buffon's information said that although Roger was a little injured, he had improved greatly under the treatment of Bishop Muller and Anne. In fact, I really have to thank him this time! If he hadn't turned the tide and defeated the Isles army, we, Baissus, would have been not far from the destruction of the country!" William said with a smile at this time. He learned the entire process of the battle from Buffon and admired Roger's strategy and courage. He was secretly proud. He had disagreed with the public and agreed that Jessica and Roger were together, which was really a wise move.

At this time, the Secretary of Military Affairs, Verangi and Henry and other generals from the military headquarters discussed for a while, and said to William: "Your Majesty, now that the threat of Is no longer exists, we are much more at ease in the allocation of troops. Our military headquarters has initially formulated a combat plan, using the Central Army to attack the Andorra Army, and then a legion composed of private soldiers, temporarily named the Reserve Legion, and escort the urgently needed materials of the Thor's Hammer Fortress to the City of Renos. Those recruited soldiers are reorganized and trained in Empet. After forming combat power, they will go to the front line."

"Well... this plan is also feasible. Just do it like this!" William nodded after thinking for a while.

"However, Uncle Wilanki, the troops who attacked Ice on Roger and Anne, did not mention this plan at all..." Jessica said anxiously after hearing this.

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to help them, but we really have no soldiers to send. After allocating these batches of supplies to assist Reynolds, the arms warehouse has basically gone empty. It is estimated that they can only find a way for themselves. Moreover, in the original plan we have formulated, we also hope that their food, soldiers and materials can be dispatched on-site in Isles." Verlanki explained.

"On-site dispatch? Isn't it just a gorgeous coat for the robbery? If they had been 'on-site dispatch' all the way, they would probably lose all their hearts. Not to mention conquering Balatan, even occupying the strategic location of the Red Mountains would be a problem." Jessica was very angry after hearing this, and her pale face was also blushed due to anger.

"Daughter, I decided on this plan! Don't blame Lord Wilange." William finally spoke at this time.

"From this coup, the situation in Is is very unstable. Before, since your aunt was Edward's queen, we always regarded Is as a potential allied. But it turns out that once the situation in Is is turbulent, this allied country will have a greater threat than the enemy. Therefore, the best strategy is to keep Is in a civil war situation so that it will not pose a threat to us, Baishos. The result of our later wargame deduction is: If Anne can instigate the Ishos, then the front of the Ishos civil war will remain on the front line of the Red Mountains. If Anne cannot instigate the Rock Legion, the front line will remain in the area of ​​Sedoras. But no matter what, Anne will seek the support of our Baishos. Instead of having a unified and unstable Ishos, it is better to have half a stable and pro-Baishos." William said with a serious expression.

"But Father, Annie is my cousin, your niece!" Jessica said with surprise after hearing this.

"Hey, Jessica, you are my daughter whom I hope the most. It is best to take family affection into account between countries' politics. Do you think that having a kinship means that the relationship between countries is also very reliable? In fact, Edward had contacted Jesseng a few years ago. Jesseng was supporting Wales while also trying to win him over. But Edward had a big appetite and he was already the king. Jesseng couldn't come up with much to meet his requirements, so he didn't reach an agreement. Afterwards, Jesseng changed to fully support Wales. If they had reached an agreement at that time, it would probably be more than one Ice army, probably two or even three legions." William said with a sneer.

"What? Uncle Edward has also been in contact with the Jeppen people?" Jessica's face changed suddenly after hearing William's words, and her white and tender hands trembled slightly. Although she was resourceful, she had not yet touched the darkest side of national politics. In her opinion, her uncle Edward, who has always loved her and has been making comments in public, could not contact and negotiate with the evil Jeppen.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely true. And it is the national policy of Is and their history. We are all good at both of us, Baisus and Jeppen, and we make profits from it. Otherwise, how could the old king of Is allow his two sons to marry Baisus's princess and the other marry Jappen? But they didn't expect Jappen to be more vicious than them." Buffon said solemnly.

"...I understand! But father, I have two requests!" Jessica said solemnly.

"What request? Still so serious?" William asked curiously.

"The first request is to hope that you can call Roger back. This time Anne and his team went on an expedition to Balathan. With enemy troops in front and no support in the back, their hopes are really slim. I don't want Roger to encounter danger like Hetante again!"

"This is no problem! I will immediately ask someone to go to Hotante City to announce my order and transfer Roger back to Empe!" After all, I cherish such a genius!" William nodded with a smile.

"The second request is that I want to go to Renos City with the Sixth Legion!" Jessica said.

"Oh? Why? Your injury is healed, don't you take a break?" William said in surprise.

"Haha, this is actually my little selfishness. Roger is so beautiful in commanding battles in Hotante City, and I want to try it at Thor's Hammer Fortress," Jessica said with a smile.
