Chapter 1,238 Grassland People Attack (Part 2)

"Come in!"

As soon as the shouting voice finished, Shade immediately shouted "Come on!"

News that can be labeled as "urgent" is generally not trivial.

After receiving Sha De's permission to enter, a minister quickly rushed into the room and shouted:

"Your Majesty! The prairie people are attacking!"

"What?!"*2

Shade and Erwin exclaimed in unison.

"Has the Eastern Defense Line been breached by the prairie people?!" Xia De asked urgently.

"No! The Eastern Defense Line is safe and sound! The grassland people have attacked from the north of our country!"

"North?!"*2

Shade and Erwin once again exclaimed in unison.

In Shade's knowledge, the north of their country should be the Holy Hiran Empire.

Could it be that my understanding of the geography of the continent and the boundaries of each country are all wrong? This thought flashed through Shade's mind.

However - this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.

After a moment, Shade realized that this idea was too absurd, so he quickly gave up the idea, and then said anxiously to the official:

"Hurry up and tell me everything in detail!"

"yes!"

The official cleared his throat, and then said loudly in a clear and loud voice:

"The grassland people broke through the eastern defense line of the Holy Hiran Empire!"

"After conquering the territory of the Holy Hiran Empire, he went all the way south and headed straight to the north of our country!"

"It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 prairie people coming!"

…

…

Shade didn't know when he had arrived.

Just recovered from the trance state.

All he knew was that after he recovered from his trance, his first reaction was to roar angrily:

"Damn prairie people! They actually imitated our fighting methods!"

Attacking a place that has nothing to do with the target, bypassing the target's strong defense line, and then attacking the target - isn't this the method used by the Franks to bypass the Rhine Front of the Britannia Empire?

The fighting method they had always been proud of was secretly learned by another of their enemies - the prairie people.

This made Shade feel extremely annoyed.

What also annoyed Shade was the low combat effectiveness of the Holy Hiran Empire.

“What on earth do the Hiran people do for food?!”

Shade squeezed the words out bit by bit from between his clenched teeth.

"It seems... the former superpower has indeed fallen...!!"

"The country's defense line was breached by the enemy so easily!"

"Your Majesty!" Erwin said urgently at this time, "Now is not the time to feel angry about the cunning of the prairie people and the incompetence of the Xilan people! The top priority now is to quickly come up with a way to deal with the prairie people's attack!"

"Hmm..." Erwin said solemnly, "That's right...send an order to the eastern defense line! Move 80,000 troops northward! Attack the prairie people!"

After forming an alliance with the Holy Hiran Empire, there were no longer many troops stationed in the northern part of the Frankish Empire.

Those troops who were transferred from the north were later transferred to the west.

Now, they should all be on the territory of the Britannia Empire, fighting fiercely with the Britannia Empire's army.

Therefore - the north, which lacks troops, has an unprecedentedly weak defense.

With such a defensive force to face a grassland army of more than 100,000 people - the outcome is self-evident. 591 network

Therefore, if we want to block the incoming grassland army, we have no other choice but to increase our troops to the north.

"……His Majesty."

However, Erwin did not immediately accept the order.

Instead, after a moment of silence, he said to Xia De in a deep voice:

"The lower official believes that it is too late to mobilize troops from the eastern defense line."

"The terrain from the east to the north of our country is extremely rugged."

"It takes a lot of time to walk through this extremely bumpy road."

"Moreover, at most, there are only 80,000 troops that can be transferred from the eastern defense line."

"The total size of the incoming grassland army is over 100,000!"

"There are really few reinforcements."

"Therefore - the lower official believes that it is not feasible to just mobilize troops from the east."

"We should mobilize troops from the east and west at the same time!"

In order to launch the Nibelungen Plan, as early as last year, the Frank Empire completed the deployment adjustment of all troops in the country.

Most of the troops were transferred to the west, where they were responsible for the decisive battle with the Britannia Empire.

Part of the troops was deployed to the east to defend against possible attacks by the prairie people.

The number of troops deployed in the east and west directions already accounts for 90% of the country's total military strength.

The remaining 10% of the military strength was dispersed to the north and various places.

Even the imperial capital of Bailu did not have many troops left to garrison.

What Erwin meant by moving troops in the east and west directions was to move troops away from the eastern defense line and those who were fighting a bloody battle with the Britannia Army on the territory of the Britannia Empire. Part of it was to reinforce the north, which was about to be attacked by the prairie people.

As soon as Erwin finished speaking, Shade said loudly without thinking:

"No! We can't transfer Walter's troops!"

"The army in the west is now fighting a big battle that risks the fate of the country!"

"If the transfer of troops reduces combat effectiveness and loses the war, then this country will be doomed!"

"Not a single soldier can be transferred away!"

Erwin seemed to have guessed what Shade would say. As soon as Shade finished speaking, Erwin immediately said:

"Your Majesty! If the grassland people invade our country due to the inability to stop the attack from the grassland people, then our country will be doomed!"

Erwin's words seemed to have some kind of magic power, which made Shade hesitate, unable to think of any words to refute.

At this time, Erwin took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"Your Majesty! It's not like you don't know the temperaments of prairie people!"

"When it comes to looting and destruction, they are experts!"

"If these wolves are allowed to enter our country, there is no doubt that our national strength will be severely damaged!"

"If the grassland people are brave enough, they can even march directly to the gates of our imperial capital!"

"Bellu currently has almost no defenders. If it is besieged by the prairie people, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"The road from the west to the north is flatter! The troops from the west will reach the north much faster than the troops from the east!"

"As long as the troops from the west arrive in the north first, they will be able to hold off the prairie people and buy time for the troops from the east to arrive!"

"When the eastern army arrives, it will no longer be any problem to keep the grassland people out of the country!"

"So - Your Majesty! Please mobilize troops from the west to reinforce the north!"

Shade felt that Walter's troops were now fighting a big war that was betting on the fate of their Frankish empire.

Therefore, no single soldier of the western army must be transferred away, resulting in a reduction in combat effectiveness.

At the same time, he also felt that what Erwin said was reasonable.
