Chapter 992: Issel's Remnant Army (Part 2)

Any mother would feel sad if her child suffered such misfortune.

But fortunately, there was no news that Issel was killed or captured.

According to the intelligence received so far, Issel and Albert were trapped in the Rhineland Plain.

This was a blessing in disguise.

Although Issel and Albert were still alive, their situation was not optimistic.

With the remaining soldiers under their command, it was impossible to break through the encirclement of the Frankish army.

Whether Issel and Albert could be rescued depended on whether the reinforcements sent by the Britannia Empire could arrive in time to rescue and defeat the invading Frankish army.

Although Elisa's grandmother Belinda knew nothing about military affairs, she also understood this truth.

Therefore, before the sky was bright today, Belinda rushed to the outside of Pendragon, wanting to see with her own eyes the army that was about to set out to support the Rhineland battlefield.

Belinda wanted to see with her own eyes the army that was going to rescue her son.

Alyssa and Carol were forced to bring Theresa and Belinda to the outskirts of Pendragon.

After seeing this mighty army outside the city, Belinda felt relieved, and the big stone hanging in her heart was slightly put down.

"With so many soldiers, we should be able to win..." - this sentence came out subconsciously.

The troops going to the Rhineland battlefield this time are the 150,000 troops of the Knights of Uriel, plus 4,000 armored warriors, with a total force of 154,000.

This army of this size filled the outskirts of Pendragon.

This endless army gave Belinda confidence.

How could such a large army lose to the Franks? - This is what Belinda thought after seeing the joint corps of the Knights of Uriel and the armored warriors.

However, Belinda had this idea purely because she didn't know enough about the current war situation.

After hearing Belinda's optimistic sentiment about the war situation,

Elissa could only smile bitterly.

Unlike Belinda, who didn't have a deep understanding of the war situation, Elisa was very clear about the current war situation.

The size of the army gathered outside Pendragon City was indeed amazing, with more than 150,000 people.

But the size of the Frankish army now entrenched in the Rhineland Plain was even larger.

The total number of troops of the Uriel Knights and the Armored Knights was less than half of the Frankish army.

In fact, just from the fact that Ilsa led the army in person, we can see how pessimistic the current situation is.

The emperor needs to go to the battlefield in person - this situation will probably only occur when the situation is so bad that it can't be worse.

Although I understand that Belinda's sentiment just now was a bit too optimistic, Elisa didn't expose it.

Because it would be no good to hit Belinda's current optimistic mentality.

Since learning that Iser was defeated in the Rhineland Plain, Belinda has been crying every day.

After seeing the 150,000-man army of the Knights of Uriel, Belinda's mood finally improved a little.

Elisa didn't have the heart to dampen Belinda's rare optimism.

After sighing silently in her heart, Elisa turned her eyes and cast her gaze back to the Knights of Uriel who had already set out and marched towards the Rhineland Plain.

——I must, must rescue my father and others! Please!

While watching the Knights of Uriel who had already set out, Elisa prayed in her heart.

After learning that her father and Albert, who was as close to her as uncle and nephew, were defeated on the Rhineland Plain, Elisa was more anxious than anyone else.

She even cried secretly in her bed because of this.

Elisa hoped more than anyone else that this army led by Elsa herself could defeat the Frankish army and rescue Issel and others.

At this moment, Kairol, who was holding Theresa and standing beside Alyssa, suddenly said faintly:

"It would be nice if Cheng was here."

After hearing Kairol's words, Alyssa was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly:

"Yes, it would be nice if Su Cheng was here..."

Su Cheng has a kind of magic.

As long as he is in the army, no matter how big the difference in combat power between the enemy and us is, we will not feel that we will lose.

Kaylor and Alyssa believe that there are definitely more people who feel this way.

Maybe all the knights of the Knights of Michael have this feeling.

When they learned that Ilsa was going to lead the Uriel Knights and the armored warriors to fight against the Frankish army, Kairol and Alyssa had the same idea in tacit understanding:

If Su Cheng is here, then defeating the Frankish army and rescuing Issel and Albert will definitely not be a problem

……

……

Britannia Empire, Rhineland Plain, surrounded by the Frankish army.

The defeat in the Battle of the Rhineland caused Iser and Albert to lose half of their fighting power.

A full 150,000 soldiers were missing or killed in this fierce battle.

Although the Britannia Empire was defeated in this battle, it was also a glorious defeat.

Because they bit off a big piece of meat from the Frankish army.

The Frankish army did not win the Battle of the Rhineland easily, losing 100,000 troops.

Under such a disadvantage, the Frankish army was able to pay such a heavy price - it must be said that this was already a very remarkable feat.

After defeating the armies of Issel and Albert, the Frankish army drove their remaining 150,000 troops to a basin on the Rhineland Plain, and then surrounded the basin heavily, building a tight encirclement.

The Frankish army's intention was simple - to trap Issel's remaining troops to death, and when their supplies were exhausted and they were so hungry that they couldn't even hold their weapons, they could easily wipe out Issel's remaining troops.

The reason for launching a general attack immediately was purely to preserve the combat power of the army as much as possible.

The Frankish Empire could no longer squeeze out extra troops to support it, so Walter and his men could only rely on the troops they had to complete the feat of destroying the Britannia Empire.

Because if they wanted to destroy the Britannia Empire, there would definitely be many more battles waiting for them in the future, so they couldn't waste their troops where they could have avoided wasting.

Issel also saw that it was impossible for the remnants of his army to break through the Frankish encirclement.

After being surrounded by the Frankish army, Issel ordered to set up camp.

Use all the remaining things at hand to build a fortress as strong as possible. Prepare to defend on the spot and wait for possible rescue.

If it was commanded by a person of average ability, then this army that had just suffered a great defeat would have collapsed long ago.

But Issel was Issel after all. Even if his troops suffered a great defeat and morale dropped to the freezing point, he could still rely on his clever skills to maintain the organization and order of the army and prevent the army from collapsing.
