Chapter 48 The situation is critical
Henry was silent at this time. As an important figure in the military headquarters, he knew very well that from Hetante City to Empet is a flat area, easy to attack and difficult to defend. And the most important thing is that because this land is located in the inland area, Baissus had always believed that it was a large rear, so he did not even build a basic defense fortress, and the enemy could completely drive straight into Empet City.
"So, this is why I dare not let your Central Army dispatch. The safety of the capital is the most important thing. If you lose other places, you may get it back. If you lose the capital, it will be a disaster for the country to be destroyed." Verlanki said with a serious expression.
Now Henry dared not ask for a fight again.
Verangi sighed and said, "If the Isles army attacked our capital westward, although the situation was not good, it would not be the worst..."
"Ah! Love in Wilange thinks this is not the worst case?" William was also a little surprised at this time.
"Yes! Although the Isles army is coming in a fierce manner, their military strength is not too strong after all, and there are still many conflicts in the country. If only Isles' unilateral factors need to be considered, we still have hope of winning. But if Isles and Jepeng collude together, then we are in real danger!" Verlanki said with a solemn expression.
"Jippen? You said Ice and Jaippen colluded with each other?" William and the other ministers in the hall were shocked.
"The wife of Wales is from Jepeng. He has had close contacts with Jepeng's senior management. Moreover, before and after this incident, Jepeng spared no effort to launch a crazy attack on Thor's Hammer Fortress, forcing us to transfer the Eastern Legion stationed on the Islamic border, which gave Islamic attacks. If this is a coincidence, it is a bit terrible coincidence." Verlanki analyzed.
Everyone in the chamber was stunned.
"So, if Is and Jepeng collude, after they conquer Hetante, they will not attack Yorkshire westward, but will turn southward and sneak attack Reynolds from behind. You must know that Reynolds is the largest city in southern my country and the largest storage place for weapons and food. All the food and weapons in Thorth Hammer Fortress are supplied by Reynolds City behind it, but Reynolds City itself does not have much force to guard it. If Reynolds City is captured by the Is army, the 200,000 elite troops of Thorth Hammer Fortress will collapse without fighting. More than 500,000 troops of Jepeng will drive straight into our country... The consequences will be unimaginable." Verlanki said with a serious expression.
The chamber is now extremely quiet, and you can probably hear a needle drop. If Japon breaks through the Thor's Hammer Fortress, it will be something that has never happened since the founding of Baisus. The war between Japon and Baisus has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the two sides have already formed a deep hatred. After Japon's army invades Baisus, it will be a huge disaster for the civilians of Baisus.
After a while, William Fang asked in a low voice: "Then, what are the ways to deal with this crisis now?"
"It is definitely too late to save Hetante City. The more feasible way now is to distribute half of the people from the Central Army to Renos. If Is attacks Renos, if they do not increase their troops, we will use more than 50,000 troops to defend the city against them and 80,000. In addition, your Majesty, I think it is possible to issue an emergency mobilization order, requiring all nobles to contribute their private troops and garrisons to form a new army, so that we can have enough strength to deal with the crisis." Verangi made his own suggestions.
"Okay! My dear Wilange, let's do it according to your opinion. Now that the enemy is in front of me, I guess everyone should not be stingy with their own little private soldiers." William asked to everyone in the chamber.
There was a sound of echoing in the hall naturally.
"But your Majesty, it will take some time to gather these private soldiers and garrisons and integrate them into a legion... Before that, I suggest that all vassal states send troops to support us," said Wilanki.
After hearing this, William immediately said to Foreign Minister Esco: "Love Esco, I'll leave this matter to you! You must find a way to mobilize more reinforcements!"
"...Okay!...I will do my best!" Esco nodded with difficulty. As an old man in the diplomatic circle, he knew very well: in such a critical situation, those vassal states and allies, and a few willing to provide timely assistance, he had no idea.
"By the way, Hotante City... Oops! Jessica is still there, she and Roger went to Hangu Town to attend some road ceremony. Oh my God! It's a war area now!" William suddenly remembered this matter and felt anxious.
"Your Majesty, leave it to me for saving Jessica!" At this time, an old man with a white beard wearing a sky blue robe, full of energy, and holding a staff, walked in from outside the hall and said loudly.
"Ah! Master Carter? You know this too!" William said in surprise. As the only holy magician of Baissus, Master Carter has a transcendent status in Baissus. He rarely takes action in ordinary wars and has been studying magic wholeheartedly.
"Well! Jessica is my favorite apprentice. I heard that the Is army has attacked the Hetante area. And Jessica happened to be there. For her safety, I must have to go there!" Carter touched his white beard and pondered.
"Okay! Master Carter, you are willing to take action and you will definitely be able to bring Jessica back!" William immediately put down a big stone in his heart. The Holy Land Magister took action, which was more stable than the guards he sent one thousand people.
"No further ado, I'll set off right away! Your Majesty, please continue to discuss state affairs!" Carter saluted and turned around and left the hall.
Watching Carter walk away, William calmed down and said to the ministers in the chamber: "All my dear friends should do their best! Whether the Kingdom of Baissus is alive or dead, it depends on your efforts..."
Now, the entire continent has focused on the city of Hetante, which was originally unknown. Everyone wants to know how the Isles army will act after conquering Hetante. No one thinks that Baisus can withstand the attack of the 80,000 Isles regular army with the five thousand city guards and garrisons.
