Chapter 975 "Four Stars" Offensive (Part 2)

Just as Ilsa finished speaking, a loud and old voice suddenly sounded:

"Your Majesty, don't sigh, trust Issel and Albert."

As soon as this old voice sounded, the others, including Ilsa, looked in the direction of the voice.

The owner of this voice was Jacob.

After everyone's eyes were on him, Jacob continued:

"Your Majesty, Issel and Albert are both our country's ministers with outstanding military achievements."

"Issel is the 12th unified knight in our country's history."

Speaking of this, Issel raised his eyes and slid his eyes across everyone's faces one by one.

"Your Majesty, everyone. I believe you all know about the 'Four-sided Star' offensive 11 years ago."

"In the 'Four-sided Star' offensive 11 years ago, Issel was able to turn the tide in such a disadvantage, defeating the Frankish army that was several times larger than him, and defeating the commander-in-chief of the Frankish army at that time-General Walter von Zimmermann!"

"According to the currently known intelligence, the commander-in-chief of the Frankish army this time is this General Walter von Zimmermann again."

"11 years ago, Issel was able to defeat Walter in such a disadvantage."

"And now, the two armies are evenly matched, and we are fighting on our home ground. There is no reason for Issel to lose to Walter!"

"So I firmly believe that Issel will be able to defeat the invading Frankish army beautifully this time, just like the 'Four-sided Star' offensive in 2011!"

Jacob's voice was loud.

His loud voice slightly dispelled the heavy atmosphere in the study.

The tense expressions on everyone's faces also relaxed a little.

And a smile appeared on Ilsa's face for the first time in a long time.

"Yeah." Ilsa nodded gently, "That's true... Issel will definitely be able to stop these 300,000 Frankish troops."

...

At the same time-

Britannia Empire,

Pendragon, Elisa's home.

The Frankish Empire has conquered the Kingdom of Shupel, and the entire territory of the Kingdom of Shupel has fallen. The Frankish army is heading straight for the homeland of the Britannia Empire-even though the battle situation on the front line is so urgent, but in Pendragon, there are very few people who know that the Rhine Front has started the war.

Ordinary civilians don't even know that the war has started on the Rhine Front.

Of course-this is limited to ordinary civilians.

When the central government just received the news of the Frankish invasion, some senior civil and military officials and nobles in Pendragon also learned about this news.

In terms of noble status, few people in the entire empire can compare with Elisa.

Elisa is the first person in the history of the Britannia Empire to have close relations with the leaders of the three major knight orders.

Her husband is Su Cheng, the leader of the Knights of Michael and Count Leah.

Her father is Issel, the leader of the Knights of Gabriel and Count Hyde.

There is also Albert, the leader of the Knights of Raziel and Count Fitzherd, who is as close to her as an uncle.

At the same time, she is also a knight with considerable status and strength in the army.

Looking at the entire empire, few people can compare with Elisa.

Elisa, whose status is somewhat exaggerated, naturally received the news that the Frank Empire launched an invasion and Issel and Albert had led the troops to intercept it.

In the past two days, Elisa's home has been shrouded in a faint cloud of sorrow.

Elisa's grandmother, Belinda, Issel's mother, has been sighing for the past two days, worrying about Issel who is now heading to the battlefield.

This is also a mother's nature - no matter how old or successful her child is, she can't help but worry about her child who is doing dangerous things.

Alyssa and Carol have been trying their best to make Belinda happy these two days and make Belinda stop frowning.

At this time, Carol was holding Theresa and chatting with Belinda on the sofa in the living room.

Although Carol had racked his brains to come up with the most interesting topics, Belinda still had a bitter face.

From Belinda's current appearance, it is not difficult to see that her mind is not here at all, but on the distant Rhine Front.

At this moment, Alyssa suddenly ran over with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, Grandma! I have good news for you!"

"Good news?" Belinda asked in confusion, "What good news?"

"We already know who the commander-in-chief of the Frank Army is this time." Alyssa said in an excited tone, "It's Walter von Zimmermann! I just learned this information."

"Walter von Zimmermann..." Belinda chewed on the name.

Belinda, who felt that the name was very familiar, recalled it carefully.

After a while, Belinda suddenly realized:

"Is it the Walter von Zimmermann from 11 years ago?"

"Yes!" Alyssa nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's the defeated general of my father 11 years ago - Walter von Zimmermann!"

"It's him... It's really good news..." Belinda breathed a sigh of relief, and the clouds of worry on her face also dissipated a little.

Carol, who didn't understand the conversation between the two just now, looked at Alyssa and Belinda in confusion, and then asked:

"What were you talking about just now? Who is Walter von Zimmermann?"

"Oh, that's right." Alyssa scratched her hair with a guilty look on her face, "Kaylor, you probably don't know this person, nor the battle 11 years ago. Sorry, I was just talking to grandma just now and forgot to tell you who this person is."

After that, Alyssa cleared her throat and then said:

"Kaylor, do you know the 'Four-sided Star' offensive 11 years ago - that is, in the 284th year of the imperial calendar?"

"The 'Four-sided Star' offensive..." Kaylor searched for this word in his mind, "I only heard of it vaguely."

"The 'Four-sided Star' offensive was a large-scale offensive that took place in the 284th year of the imperial calendar, and the target of the offensive was the Frankish Empire."

Alyssa began to explain.

"My father was not the leader of the Gabriel Knights at that time, let alone the Unified Knights. He was just a Four Imperial Knights and the deputy leader of the Gabriel Knights."

"11 years ago, a large-scale famine occurred in the territory of the Frankish Empire. This was a rare opportunity for our country, so we mobilized two-thirds of the Gabriel Knights' combat power - a total of 200,000 troops, to launch a large-scale offensive against the Frankish Empire. The offensive code name was - Four Directions Star."

"The 200,000 troops were divided into four armies, marching towards the homeland of the Frankish Empire from different directions."

"My father was in charge of commanding one of the four armies at the time, with only 60,000 troops under his command."

"And the person responsible for meeting our army was the famous veteran of the Frankish Empire - General Walter von Zimmermann."

"Walter led 230,000 troops to meet our 'Four Directions Star' offensive."
