Chapter 984 Spy

Barzel's suggestions make sense.

Because of the abilities of Iser and Albert, the trauma suffered by the Frankish army in this battle of the Rhineland far exceeded their expectations.

The original 500,000-strong army now only has 400,000 capable soldiers left.

Although the results of this battle were brilliant, 150,000 Knights generals were directly eliminated. Another 150,000 people were also surrounded in a basin. It was only a matter of time before they were all annihilated. Among those trapped in the basin were Bremen. Two important knights of the Deniya Empire - Iser and Albert.

But the Britannia Empire did not lose all its combat power.

There are still two knights in the Britannia Empire that still maintain full combat strength-the Knights of Michael and the Knights of Uriel.

The Britannian Empire is not short of strong knights who can win battles.

The current war situation is not yet at a point where everyone in the Frank Army can relax.

To be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to seek help from the country and ask the emperor to send additional reinforcements.

After hearing this suggestion from Bazel, Walter thought seriously.

After thinking for a while, Walter shook his head:

"No, it's better not to request reinforcements from His Majesty and put more pressure on His Majesty."

Speaking of this, Walter smiled bitterly:

"Our country has no more troops to add now. Even if we ask for reinforcements from your Majesty, your Majesty will definitely veto our request."

"The Britannia Empire and the Huns are allies. Although the Huns are barbaric, they also know the importance of alliance and their obligations as allies."

"So - the eastern part of our country still needs a large number of troops to monitor the grassland people in the Far East."

"Although our country has formed an alliance with the Holy Hiran Empire, it is impossible to leave no troops in the north of our country. Some troops must be left in the north."

"The same principle applies to the Western defense line. It is impossible to leave no troops on the entire defense line."

"The 500,000 troops we have now are all the combat power our Frankish Empire can devote.

"

"There are no extra troops in the country that can be deployed."

"So, it's better not to ask for reinforcements from His Majesty. There are no more troops in the country to mobilize."

As soon as Walter finished speaking, Bazel frowned and said:

"But, wouldn't it be too much to rely solely on our current combat power? The Britannia Empire still has considerable military strength."

"So we can only continue to work together and fight to the death." After saying that, Walter sighed lightly.

At this moment, Walter suddenly paused as if he remembered something.

Then he spoke again:

"Actually, Bazel, you don't have to worry too much about the Britannia Empire's next attack."

"Um?"

Not only Bazel, but also Otto on the side cast doubtful glances at Walter.

"Walter." Bazel asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

"Before the Nibelung Plan began, His Majesty sent our country's number one spy, Ebel, to infiltrate the Britannia Empire." The smile on Walter's face became more and more meaningful, "Your Majesty is going to let Ebert sneak into the Britannia Empire." Bell went to contact the spy who has not made any contribution to our country so far. "

"Spy?" Bazel chewed the word carefully and then showed a look of realization. "Oh, him. I have seen him for so long that I almost forgot who he is."

"Yes." At this time, Otto on the side also sneered and interjected, "It turns out that guy is still alive."

"That guy is doing very well in the Britannia Empire now." Walter continued, "He is very much used and trusted by Queen Ilsa of the Britannia Empire, and now he has become the Knights of Uriel. If Einar can successfully contact him and let him lead the Uriel Knights to rebel at this time..."

Walter did not finish what he said, and stopped talking in the middle of the sentence.

But even so, Bazell and Otto both guessed what the second half of Walter's sentence would be.

But at this moment, Bazel expressed his worries:

"But... what if that guy falls in love with life in the Britannia Empire, decides to completely surrender to the Britannia Empire, and breaks with us?"

"Nothing to do." Walter shrugged, "Since he plans to be a real knight of the Britannia Empire, then we will make it happen for him."

"I'm not afraid of him. In the entire Britannia Empire, there are only two opponents worth fearing: Iser and Su Cheng. I don't take that guy seriously yet."

"If he wants to lead his Uriel Knights to fight us to the death, then come and see if his skills have improved after staying in the Britannia Empire for so long."

Speaking of this, Walter paused.

It's like remembering something.

After recalling it for a while, he continued:

"Besides - I don't think he has the guts to break with us."

"Although I'm not familiar with that guy, I've heard about his character."

"His wife and son are still in the Frank Empire."

"I don't think he will be the kind of cruel person who can be so cruel that he completely abandons his wife and children just for himself."

For your convenience, I will make a data table comparing the combat power of the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire at this time.

[Frankish Empire]

Troops: 500,000.

400,000 Army (including 100,000 landing troops) + 100,000 Royal Fleet sailors.

The 500,000 troops are divided into 3 formations, commanded by 3 generals.

The 1st formation: 100,000 Army, commanded by General [Basil von Ludendorff].

The 2nd formation: 200,000 Army, commanded by General [Walter von Zimmermann]. Walter von Zimmermann is also the commander-in-chief of the Nibelungen Plan.

The 3rd formation: 100,000 Royal Fleet sailors + 100,000 landing troops, commanded by General [Otto von Hollweg].

[Britannia Empire]

The 300,000 troops (240,000 Gabriel Knights + 60,000 Raziel Knights) that Issel and Albert brought to the Rhineland Plain have been half wiped out by the Frankish army.

The remaining 150,000 troops were besieged by the Frankish army in a basin somewhere in the Rhineland Plain. The Frankish army planned to besiege Issel's remnant army until their supplies were cut off and they were too hungry to even carry weapons, and then launch a general attack.

The only troops that can still fight in the Britannia Empire are:

120,000 troops of the Knights of Michael in the north.

150,000 troops of the Knights of Uriel in the center.

100,000 troops of the Knights of Raziel in the south.

The 100,000 troops (60,000 Gabriel Knights + 40,000 Raziel Knights) that remain in various strongholds on the Rhine front.

It is clear at a glance which troops are most suitable to be transferred to support the Rhineland Plain.
