"...Mr. Jacob." Su Cheng's face flashed a bit of confusion, "Before coming to your house just now, His Majesty has sent someone to inform me that the first military meeting on how to conquer the Holy Xilan Empire will be held the day after tomorrow..."

"Mr. Jacob... What do you think I should do now..."

Jacob looked at Su Cheng with a meaningful look.

After a long while, he slowly retracted his gaze.

"Cheng, go... do what you want in your heart."

Surprise flashed across Su Cheng's face.

Afterwards, a firm look gradually emerged from Su Cheng's eyes.

……

……

The day after tomorrow-

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, General Staff, Conference Room.

The General Staff's conference room is quite simply decorated.

The only thing that can be regarded as furniture is a long table that can accommodate dozens of people, and dozens of chairs.

At this time, the conference room is full of heroes.

Not only the staff of the General Staff gathered together, but also senior knights such as Issel and Deng Jiaer who were not affiliated with the General Staff were all seated in the conference room.

The person sitting at the head of the long table was naturally the current emperor of their Britannia Empire, Ilsa.

As for Camille, he sat on the second seat to Ilsa's right, and Su Cheng sat on the second seat to Ilsa's left.

"Everyone!"

Ilsa looked high-spirited.

"Before starting today's meeting, I would like to express my gratitude to you all!"

"Thanks to your concerted efforts, our country has successfully conquered the Lorraine Empire and the Frank Empire! Not only did it end the Hundred Years' War, but it also made our country's territory reach an unprecedented level!"

As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, the staff and knights in the room stood up and saluted, saying that Ilsa's words just now were praised.

After raising her hand to signal everyone to sit down, Ilsa slowly put away the smile on her face.

Then she changed the subject.

"But - this is not enough."

"It is not enough to just destroy the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire!"

Ilsa moved her eyes and let her eyes slide across the faces of everyone in the room.

Except for a few people such as Su Cheng and Camille, most of the people present showed astonishment on their faces.

"Now, the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire have perished, so - now I can boldly speak out my ambitions and my dreams."

"Everyone, I ask you - what is the purpose of my sending troops to destroy the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire over the years?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

Finally, it was Deng Jiaer who raised his hand first, and then said in a cautious tone:

"The purpose of destroying the Roland Empire is to make us have no worries when we fight the Frank Empire in the future."

"The purpose of destroying the Frank Empire is to end the Hundred Years' War."

As soon as Deng Jiaer finished speaking, Ilsa shook her head.

"No. These reasons are all to fool the world."

"The reason why I want to send troops to attack the Rolin Empire and the Frank Empire is very simple - just to destroy them."

"Because - as early as after the end of the Patriotic War, I made up my mind: at all costs, I must destroy the Rolin Empire, the Frank Empire, and the Holy Xilan Empire to complete the unification of the continent!"

"As long as we are the only country left on the continent, no one will invade our borders again. The wars that may occur in the future will only be some civil unrest."

"If the people of these three countries knew my ambition , it is very likely to form an 'Anti-Britannia Empire Alliance'. "

"Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, I have been hiding my ambition. Only Camille and a few others know the purpose of my continuous expedition.

"

"Now that the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire no longer exist, there is no need for me to hide my ambitions. "

"I will tell you directly now-next, I will use troops against the Holy Hilan Empire!"

"I will conquer this last enemy! Complete the unification of the continent!"

After saying that, Ilsa looked at Camille beside her.

Camille, who was sitting next to Ilsa, immediately understood and picked up a huge, rolled-up paper and walked towards the south wall of the conference room.

There is a huge nail on the south wall of the conference room.

This nail is specially used to hang maps.

The petite Camille stood on tiptoe and spent a lot of effort to successfully hang the huge paper on the nail, and then spread the huge paper out.

Anyone who knows a little about the continent can recognize that this map is the topographic map of the Holy Xilan Empire.

"The reason why I called you here today is to hold the first military meeting on the topic of 'How to conquer the Holy Xilan Empire'!"

"So - today's opening remarks have been enough."

"Next, let's get straight to the point."

"If we want to conquer the Holy Xilan Empire, how many troops are needed? I want to hear your ideas."

Except for a few people like Su Cheng and Camille, no one knows what this sudden call is for today.

Many people even thought that they were just summoned to hold another commendation meeting.

Although no one had made any preparations, the people present were either staff officers from the General Staff or senior knights with outstanding military achievements.

Therefore, even if there was no pre-meeting preparation, it would not prevent them from expressing their opinions and expounding their views on how to conquer the Holy Xilan Empire.

The first person to speak was a staff officer from the General Staff.

"Your Majesty! I think that although the Holy Xilan Empire has made a lot of achievements in foreign wars in recent years, this cannot cover up the fact that their current national strength is weak!"

"So, in my opinion, if you want to conquer the Holy Xilan Empire, you only need about 300,000 people!"

As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, voices of seconding were heard in the meeting room.

"Deng Jiaer!" Ilsa looked at Deng Jiaer, whom she had focused on training and caring for in recent years, "How many troops do you think are needed to attack and destroy the Holy Xilan Empire?"

"How many troops are needed..." Deng Jiaer muttered, "Although the four major fronts of the Holy Xilan Empire are still alive, except for the Far East Front, the combat effectiveness of the other three fronts is worrying."

"So my idea is the same as that of the staff officer just now-only about 300,000 troops are needed to destroy all the troops of the Holy Xilan Empire and complete the conquest of the Holy Xilan Empire."

After hearing Deng Jiaer's answer, Ilsa nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at their veteran general of the Britannia Empire-Isel.

"Isel! What do you think?"

"... Your Majesty, if the Holy Xilan Empire is the opponent, my opinion is similar. It should be enough to dispatch an army of about 300,000 to 400,000."

The answers of Deng Jiaer and Isel made Ilsa feel quite satisfied.

Because according to Ilsa's own judgment, she also felt that if she wanted to conquer the Holy Hiran Empire, the troops needed would be around 300,000.

Finally, Ilsa looked at Su Cheng, who was sitting in the second seat on her left.

"Cheng, what do you think?"

Su Cheng had been quite quiet since the meeting began.

Even after Ilsa asked the question "how many troops are needed", Su Cheng did not seem to want to answer.

Only after Ilsa asked, did Su Cheng open his mouth and whispered:

"We need the Knights of Michael, the Knights of Gabriel, the Knights of Raziel, the Knights of the National Imperial Seal... In short, we need all the troops that can be dispatched in my Britannia Empire."
