"How many troops can we mobilize now?" Singer asked with a gloomy face.

"There are only 3,000 guards in Hetante City, and the garrisons in nearby towns have a total strength of less than 4,000. Even if the retired soldiers are counted now, they will not exceed 5,000. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 people is still very low..." Seidov said with some frustration.

"Mr. Rudendolf! Has the military information on the front line reported to the capital?" Adams asked with a very ugly expression at this time.

"Mr. Adams, five days ago, the day the Is army crossed the border, sent people to Empe to report!" Ludendolf hurriedly replied.

"It's such a good wife who can't cook without rice!" Singer was a little silent. It would be great if the Eastern Legion, which was originally stationed in Hetante County, was still there. They had 100,000 people. Facing the 80,000 Lightning Legion, which was the 80,000 people, even if they could not defeat the enemy immediately, they could at least stabilize the situation. But now there are only 5,000 miscellaneous troops, and they have to fight with the other 80,000 regular legions, which is no different from dying.

"By the way! Lord Rudendolf, I heard that the frontier soldiers who retreated from the front received a declaration of war from Is. Can you show me?" Jessica let out a long sigh and tried to calm herself down.

"Oh, of course it's okay!" Rudendolf stood up at this time, took out a yellow notice from a cabinet behind him, and handed it to Jessica.

Jessica opened the notice, looked at it for a while, and was shocked and angry. She threw the notice heavily on the table and scolded loudly: "This Wales is really good at fabricating facts and bewitching people's hearts!"

Roger and Adams, Singer quickly grabbed the notice, and the three heads put together and looked carefully.

Roger finally understood why Jessica was so angry.

*********************************************************************

It was already late at night, but the chamber of the Royal Palace in the capital of Baissos was still brightly lit. However, unlike in the past, there was a large battle map hanging in the chamber.

"Damn it! This Prince of Wales is really a thief who is calling for thieves and making a comeback!" William threw a declaration of war heavily on the ground and cursed angrily.

"Go and call Buffon! Didn't he ask him to send someone to monitor Wales before? What's his name? A prestigious intelligence chief actually knew that Ice had declared war than a foreign minister." William said furiously.

Not long after, Buffon stood under the steps of the meeting hall with a look of fear.

"Buffon, what's going on with you? If you really can't do this job, you can tell me directly! I'll find someone who can do things to take over you!" William said furiously when he saw Buffon.

"Your Majesty, this fact is too sudden - actually... I have already sent a capable general to keep an eye on Wales, but I really didn't expect that Wales actually made a substitute to pretend to be him and stayed in Brest City. So, our intelligence officers have always believed that Wales is still in his lair to keep their energy..." Buffon said with a sad face.

"Do you still keep your energy? Do you think the enemy is basking in the sun every day like your subordinates?" William said in anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Minister of Internal Affairs Salvador quickly persuaded.

"Hmph! Buffon, you cry to me every day and say you have a poor fund. I have given you so much money, but how many pieces of information have you found? You know nothing about such a big thing as Ice's declaration of war! I trust you so much!" William's anger was slightly relieved at this time.

"By the way, Lord Buffon, why can't you even see the person you sent to stare at Wales?" El Salvador asked strangely.

"I also find it very strange. Because the person who was inserted was sent to Ice since we were young, and then we entered the Prince of Wales's mansion and became a servant for more than ten years. Although he is not the kind of confidant who can communicate and discuss with Wales, he can at least see Wales every day. But even he didn't recognize that it was a substitute. This was outrageous!" Buffon felt something was wrong with Salvador's reminder at this time.

"Is the person inserted in it reliable? He will not be bribed by the other party and convey some fake news to us, right?" Military Secretary Verlanki couldn't help but interrupt.

"Mr. Wilange, you can rest assured that the person you installed is very reliable and will not do such a betrayal!" Buffon thought for a while, nodded firmly and said.

"If this is the case, it may be even more troublesome. Then there are only two possible performances to explain all this. The first possibility is that Wales temporarily discovered a substitute who looks like a fake person; but I don't think it's a possibility, because I haven't found such a substitute for such a long time. Even if I suddenly find it now, it is probably not possible to train a person who can't imitate at all to speak like a real Wales." Before serving as Secretary of Military Affairs, Wilanki also worked in the military intelligence department, so he is also very experienced in collecting intelligence.

"As for the second possibility, Wales has mastered an advanced disguise technique, which can disguise another person with a figure similar to him as him, disguised as him staying in Brest City, and paralyzing us. You should know that Wales is only medium in height and not fat or thin in figure. Such people are caught on the streets." Verlanki analyzed.

"Mr. Wilange, I remembered this. It seems that there is a secret that has not been passed down by the royal family of the Tianfeng Empire, which is disguise. It is said that one person can be completely disguised as the other person. If Wales mastered this disguise, it would be easy to disguise a spy who had received special training in this aspect and had similar figure to him. Moreover, a spy who has received role-playing special training will only take a few weeks to fully familiarize himself with Welsh's habits, speech, expression and movements." Buffon nodded and echoed.

"However, there is a problem with this possibility: how could they use the disguise technique of the royal family of the Tianfeng Empire? Could it be that Wales has obtained permission or support from the Tianfeng Empire?" Verlanki said the biggest doubt at this time.
