Chapter 1039: Attacked

Ka La, Ka La, Ka La...

Enli and Ilsa, who were sitting in the carriage, silently endured the bumps caused by the carriage.

Enli, who was sitting opposite Ilsa, suddenly noticed that Ilsa was now serious.

She seemed to be thinking about something.

--Speaking of which...

Enli said in his heart.

--These days, I always see His Majesty looking thoughtful...Is His Majesty thinking about something?

"Miss Lotta." Enli called Ilsa's current alias softly, "What's wrong? You look serious. If you have any worries or questions, you might as well tell me."

"Nothing..." Ilsa's face showed a bit of helplessness. After a few bitter smiles, she continued, "I'm not thinking about my worries, but just thinking about some issues that I have been concerned about recently..."

"Question...Is it convenient for you to tell me this question? I may be able to answer it for you."

Hearing Enli's words, Ilsa's face showed hesitation.

After hesitating for a while, Ilsa pulled out a book beside her.

This book was given to Ilsa by Falk for her to relieve her boredom these days.

Not only did he give Ilsa a book, he also gave her a pen and ink so that she could take notes on the book.

Ilsa opened the book, turned to a blank page, took out a goose feather pen dipped in ink, and wrote on it:

[Enli, since I escaped from Allen, I have been worried about Allen's movements. You say - where will Allen lead his troops now? ]

In order to avoid being heard by the coachman and the caravan guys surrounding the carriage, Ilsa chose to communicate with Enli through writing.

After seeing the question written by Ilsa on the blank page of the book, his brows frowned involuntarily.

After a moment of silence, Enli took the goose feather pen from Ilsa's hand, and then wrote on this blank page:

[If Allen launched a mutiny, there are only two places he can go. ]

[The first place is to go to the Rhineland Plain and join forces with the Frankish army entrenched on the Rhineland Plain. ]

[As for the second place, it is to lead the Uriel Knights and the armored warriors who have been coerced into becoming rebels to attack the important cities and strongholds in the interior of our country. ]

[I think that it is very likely that Allen will choose to attack the important cities and strongholds in the interior of our country. ]

[If Allen chooses to attack the important cities and strongholds in the interior of our country, then the best target is our capital, Pendragon. ]

As soon as Enli stopped writing, Ilsa hurriedly took back the quill pen and wrote quickly on the blank page.

[So according to you, Allen is very likely to launch an attack with Pendragon as the target now? ]

Enli glanced at what Ilsa wrote on the blank page, and then nodded silently.

[Enli, if Allen leads the rebels to attack Pendragon, can Pendragon be defended with its current defense force? 】

Ilsa's question made Enli silent for a long time.

The main reason why Enli was silent for so long was because he was hesitant.

He hesitated - whether to tell Ilsa the truth.

However, Ilsa, who had been watching Enli's expression, saw through what Enli was thinking at this time.

Ilsa pursed her lips, and then wrote on the blank page again:

[Enli. Please tell me your opinion in detail, and don't hide anything from me. ]

"...Alas."

After taking a look at the new line written by Ilsa on the blank page, Enli sighed lightly, then opened his right palm to Ilsa and took the quill.

[This expedition to the Rhineland took away all the garrison forces of Pendragon. ]

[With the remaining military force of Pendragon now, it is impossible to defend Pendragon. ]

Seeing this, Ilsa's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, at this moment, the sentence that Enli wrote next made Ilsa's eyes shine again.

[However, this does not mean that we have no chance of winning. ]

Ilsa watched Enli's pen tip dancing on the paper intently.

[The only way to defend Pendragon under Allen's attack is to wait for Su Cheng to lead the Michael Knights to the south. ]

[Although I don't know what the situation is like in the Central Committee now. ]

[But I am sure that the Central Committee must have known that Allen launched a mutiny. ]

[The person in charge of the Central Committee now is Mr. Bankro]

[With Mr. Bankro's intelligence, he must know what the most important thing to do now. ]

[So after learning that Allen launched a mutiny, the Central Committee headed by Mr. Bankro must have sent a message to the northern front at the first time, asking Su Cheng to lead the Michael Knights to the south to support. ]

[It is only a matter of time before Su Cheng leads the Michael Knights to the south to support. ]

[And what we have to do is to buy time for Su Cheng and the Michael Knights to return to support. ]

[Gather all the troops that can be gathered, use all the tactics that can be used, and defend Pendragon to the death. 】

【We will hold out until Su Cheng and the Knights of Michael come back. 】

【As long as we can hold out until Su Cheng and the Knights of Michael come back, we will win. 】

Enli explained to Ilsa the only way to hold Pendragon in the simplest way possible.

Ilsa moved her eyes, scanning the sentences written by Enli over and over again.

Her beautiful eyebrows gathered together and frowned slightly.

After digesting all the sentences written by Enli, Ilsa took the pen and wrote:

[So - do we have the ability to wait until Mr. Cheng leads the Michael Knights back? ]

Looking at this new question written by Ilsa, Enli was silent.

Ilsa looked at Enli with expectation.

But Enli disappointed Ilsa.

Enli remained silent.

Even without moving, he did not take the pen.

After being silent for a long time, until Ilsa had a bad premonition in her heart, Enli finally - shook his head.

Then he took the pen and wrote on the paper:

[Your Majesty, I'm sorry...]

[I can't think of any way to defend Pendragon... Before Su Cheng leads the Michael Knights back, defending Pendragon - this is almost impossible...]

Enli chose to tell the truth.

And Ilsa's expression, just as Enli had just expected, was instantly filled with sadness.

At this moment, Enli's pupils shrank suddenly.

His left hand subconsciously grabbed the knight's sword placed next to him, and then stared at the outside of the carriage.

To be precise, he should be looking at the back of their caravan.

"What's wrong, Enli." Ilsa asked Enli.

"...A large number of horses are approaching us." Enli said in a deep voice.
