Chapter 967 Countdown

Shade recalled the teachings his father had given him.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Because Shade found that his father had passed away for a long time, so his father's appearance had become quite vague in his memory.

But strangely, he still remembered the teachings his father had given him very clearly.

What his father said, what tone he used, and where he said it, Shade remembered it clearly.

Since Shade could remember, his father began to teach him about the harm that the Britannia Empire had brought to them and the specific content of the "203 Shame"...

And his father's teachings were not in vain.

Shade was determined since he was a child - he must take revenge on the Britannia Empire! It was in his generation that the "203 Shame" was washed away.

Therefore, when Shade ascended the throne, he began to secretly prepare a plan to destroy the Britannia Empire.

The Nibelungen Plan came into being.

More than 20 years have passed since the Nibelungen Plan began to be prepared.

After more than 20 years of preparation, this largest war plan since the founding of the Frankish Empire is finally about to begin.

Shade moved his eyes away from his father's tombstone.

After scanning the tombstones of the emperors again, Shade slowly knelt on one knee, clenched his hands, lowered his head slightly, and closed his eyes.

The tip of his nose gently rested between the overlapping thumbs of his hands.

"Father, grandfather, ancestors..."

Shade whispered softly.

"I bet my country's destiny on this Nibelungen Plan that will start in a few hours..."

"If it succeeds, the Britannia Empire will perish, and the '203 shame' will be washed away."

"If it fails, our country's foundation will be shaken, and it may even be destroyed because of it."

"We can't afford to lose this battle..."

Shade said in an almost pleading tone.

"Father, grandfather, ancestors... please bless me, bless our generals..."

At this time, it was March 28, 313 of the Frankish Empire.

It was 16:32 in the afternoon.

There were still 7 hours and 28 minutes before the full launch of the Nibelungen Plan.

...

...

Hankfurt, west of the Frankish Empire.

Hankfurt is an important military stronghold in the west of the Frankish Empire and an important fortress on the western defense line against the Britannia Empire.

At this moment, Hankfurt was filled with carriages one after another.

These carriages were loaded with various supplies such as food, fodder, weapons, and kerosene.

They were transport carriages responsible for transporting military supplies.

This carriage was responsible for the arduous task of transporting supplies to the combat troops of the Nibelungen Plan.

There were several such large-scale carriages on the Frankish side, scattered among the other military strongholds.

At this moment, they were all ready to go.

The horses snorted idly, and the drivers were waiting for orders at any time.

With just one order, the drivers would transport the baggage to the Rhine front in Britannia and to the front battlefield.

Because these drivers were of low status, they did not know that the war they were about to participate in was the war with the largest number of troops, the largest scale, and the longest fundraising time since the founding of the Frankish Empire.

For the Nibelungen Plan, the Frankish Empire invested 500,000 troops in combat troops alone.

500,000 combat troops - except for those troops that could not be transferred, such as the troops responsible for guarding against the Far Eastern grassland people, the Frankish Empire this time mobilized all the troops that could be transferred from the country to participate in this unprecedented Nibelungen Plan.

Even the combat troops have 500,000, so how large the baggage troops responsible for transporting the baggage will be can be imagined.

For the Nibelungen Plan, the Frankish Empire has exhausted its national strength.

When Shade prayed to the former emperors in the Royal Cemetery, he did not exaggerate.

Mobilizing such a large army really means that the country's destiny is all bet on this Nibelungen Plan.

If such a large army fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

Walter von Zimmermann patrolled around Hankfort.

General Walter von Zimmermann - 58 years old, the commander-in-chief of this Nibelungen Plan.

"General" is the highest military rank in the Frankish Empire, and its status is equivalent to the "Four Imperial Knights" of the Britannia Empire and the "Marshal" of the Holy Hilan Empire.

Walter is the veteran that Shade relies on the most. Giving him the overall command of the Nibelungen Plan is enough to show Shade's reliance on him.

Walter, wearing a helmet and armor, patrolled around Hankfort, checking whether there were any baggage carts that were not in place, checking whether anyone was lazy...

While patrolling, he also looked at the pocket watch in his hand from time to time.

"19:30..." Walter whispered softly.

At this time, it was March 28, 313 of the Frankish Empire.

19:30 in the evening.

There were still 4 hours and 30 minutes before the full launch of the Nibelungen Plan.

…

…

Frankish Empire, the imperial capital of Bolu, the imperial palace.

Shade had already left the royal cemetery.

After leaving the Royal Cemetery, he returned to the meeting room in the palace, ready to wait with other important ministers in the meeting room for the official start of the Nibelungen Plan and the arrival of the first war report.

In the meeting room, all the important ministers of the Frankish Empire gathered here.

Shade sat at the main seat of the long table, while the other ministers, including Erwin, sat on both sides of the long table in order according to their status.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was quite solemn.

No one spoke.

No one even had an expression.

Everyone was waiting nervously.

Waiting for the start of the Nibelungen Plan, which would determine the fate of the Frankish Empire and the Britannia Empire.

At this moment, Shade's low voice broke the silence of the meeting room.

"Erwin, what time is it now?"

Erwin opened his pocket watch.

"23 o'clock." Erwin said softly.

As soon as Erwin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room became more solemn.

At this time, it is March 28th, 313th year of the Frankish Empire.

It is 23:00 in the middle of the night.

There is still one hour before the full launch of the Nibelungen Plan.

…

…

Somewhere on the western defense line of the Frankish Empire.

The 500,000 troops participating in the Nibelungen Plan are divided into three formations - the first formation, the second formation and the third formation.

The total strength of the first formation is 100,000, the second formation is 200,000, and the third formation is also 200,000.

The soldiers of the first formation have the heaviest task, and they have only one task - to break through the Rhine front of the Britannia Empire! Let the subsequent troops smoothly follow the breakthrough and attack the homeland of the Britannia Empire.

In other words, whether the soldiers of the first formation can successfully complete their tasks is related to the success or failure of the entire Nibelungen Plan.
