Chapter 990: The Emperor Leads the Army in Person (Part 2)

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, suburbs.

The 150,000-strong army of the Uriel Knights formed military formations one after another on the outskirts of Pendragon.

At the outermost edge of the military formation, there were many Pendragon citizens who came here to watch the excitement.

The 150,000 generals of the Uriel Knights are very excited now.

The reason why they were excited was not because they were about to rush to the Rhineland Plain to fight the Franks and rescue their comrades from the Knights of Gabriel and Rachel.

It's not because their queen gave them large sums of money as rewards.

The reason why they were excited was because their queen was going to conquer the war in person! Go to the front line with them to fight the Franks!

The square formation located in the center of this 150,000-strong army is their main formation.

In this formation, Allen, the leader of the Uriel Knights, and Enri, the deputy leader of the Uriel Knights, stand side by side.

In front of them, stood an old man and a little girl.

Although the old man was old, he was full of energy and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

It was Jacob who had just said goodbye to Bancro.

It is self-evident who the little girl standing in front of and to the left of Jacob is.

Like Jacob, Ilsa also wears a set of exquisite, gorgeous yet practical armor.

Because Ilsa is not very old, she is small in size. The imperial capital does not have any armor suitable for Ilsa's petite body.

Pendragon's blacksmiths worked tirelessly for the past three days before finally producing a suit of armor that fit Ilsa.

The charioteer personally led the 150,000-strong army of the Uriel Knights to the Rhineland Plain for a decisive battle with the Frankish army - this was Ilsa's strategy.

Although Pendragon now has no Iser, no Albert, and no Su Cheng.

But there was the emperor of the Britannia Empire.

The queen led the army to conquer the country in person, which made the morale of the generals of the Uriel Knights unprecedentedly high.

The Emperor of the Britannian Empire went on a personal expedition—the last time this happened,

It has to be traced back to the period of the first emperor of the Britannia Empire.

After more than two hundred years, the emperor of the Britannia Empire once again led his army to fight the enemy to the death.

On the night when Gozevin died of illness, Ilsa secretly summoned Bancroft into the palace and told Bancroft her idea of ​​​​conquering the army herself.

The reason for secretly calling Bancro into the palace and telling Bancro about this matter was just to confirm with Bancro whether the personal expedition by the imperial commander could really boost the morale of the army.

Ilsa asked Bancro to give an honest answer: Can the personal conquest of the Knights of Uriel boost the morale of the 150,000-strong army of the Uriel Knights?

Bancro subconsciously wanted to deny it.

Because Bancro didn't want Ilsa to go to such a dangerous frontline battlefield.

But just when Bancro raised his head, about to lie and reply, "It won't boost morale," his eyes met Ilsa's.

At that time, the light in Ilsa's dormitory was relatively dim, and Bancro could not even see Ilsa's face clearly.

But despite this, Bancro could clearly see Ilsa's eyes and her gaze at that time.

Ilsa's eyes were so firm, so full of courage and pressure.

Since Ilsa came to the throne, this is the first time that Bancro has seen Ilsa's eyes full of courage and pressure.

Bancro, who was stared at by Ilsa with such eyes, felt that the lies were stuck in his throat, and he could not spit them out no matter how hard he vomited.

In the end, Bancro, who had no choice but to sigh helplessly, nodded, and used his actions to inform Ilsa of his answer.

Then in the early morning of the second day, Ilsa held a meeting and summoned the ministers in the meeting hall of Baiyang Palace.

As soon as the conference began, Ilsa bluntly announced to the ministers her decision to lead the expedition in person.

All the ministers looked horrified - this was the expression on the faces of all the ministers in the chamber after learning that Ilsa had decided to lead the expedition in person.

The ministers headed by Jacob immediately expressed their opposition.

The emperor personally marches on the battlefield and goes to the front line with his generals - this can indeed greatly boost the morale of the army.

But the risk of a personal expedition is really high.

The emperor personally visits the front line of the battlefield - just imagine how dangerous this kind of thing is.

Three years ago, there was a ready-made example for reference.

During the "Overlord's Counterattack" three years ago, Emperor Vasili of the Holy Hiran Empire also personally marched and stationed himself at the Muhawicz Fortress located on the front line of the battlefield.

What happened next does not need to be described in detail.

The Michael Knights made a surprise attack on the Muhawicz Fortress. If Vasily had not been lucky enough to escape in time, the Michael Knights would have been able to set up a "formation to kill the Emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire" or "live." The extraordinary feat of capturing the Holy Emperor of Hiran.

It is said that Vasily escaped in a donkey cart and was beaten by the Michael Knights to the point where he did not even dare to look back. He just ran away in a donkey cart and escaped from the Muhavits Fortress - I don’t know what happened. Whether it is true or not, the Central Committee of the Holy Hiran Empire has always denied this. However, the story of "the emperor escaping in a donkey cart" is very popular among the people of the Holy Hiran Empire, and it is still unknown whether it is true or not until now.

There was a ready-made example for reference three years ago. Jacob and others naturally did not want Ilsa to put herself in danger, so they tried hard to persuade Ilsa.

However, no matter how Jacob and others persuaded, Elsa had no intention of changing her mind.

Seeing that Elsa was determined to lead the army in person, Jacob was helpless.

Since he could not persuade Elsa to give up, Jacob asked Elsa to take him with her.

Jacob wanted to go to the front line of the battlefield with Elsa.

Elsa was only 12 years old this year, and she was still young. Jacob was not at ease letting Elsa go to the front line alone.

Moreover, if Elsa went to the front line alone, there was another risk, that is, Elsa might give blind orders.

Throughout the ages, emperors and kings who led the army in person always made the same mistake, that is, giving blind orders.

Emperors and kings who led the army in person always gave instructions on the command of the troops.

In the face of these "instructions" from the emperor and king, the generals had to listen, because these were the orders of the monarch...

The generals would rather lose the battle than bear the crime of "disobeying the monarch's order".

The monarch's blind command has ruined the entire army - this kind of thing has also had a ready-made example in recent years.

It was still the "Overlord Counterattack" of 3 years. Emperor Vasili of the Holy Hiran Empire did not want their "Iron Hammer" operation to return in vain, so he ordered the army to stop retreating and asked the army to stay in the Aighar Corridor and fight the Michael Knights for food and supplies. Regardless of the difference in the difficulty of supply between the two armies, he tried to drag down the Michael Knights through the food and supplies war. In the end, it indirectly led to the defeat of the Hiran army.
