Holy Hiran Empire, the imperial capital Elen Muya, a certain tavern.

"For El's safe return--cheers!"

Gabriel's voice filled the pub.

After Gabriel's loud voice fell, El and Camille looked helplessly raising their wine glasses to clink with Gabriel.

El, Gabriel, and Camille sat around a wine table in this pub, holding a rather shabby celebration.

The content of this celebration is: to celebrate El’s safe return from the defeated western battlefield.

After clinking the glasses, the three of them drank all the drinks in one go.

After drinking the hot drink in the glass, Gabriel let out a comfortable moan, then laughed:

"Er, it's a shame that you can come back from the western battlefield!"

"After learning that the reinforcements we sent to the west were defeated and lost, Camille and my teacher, I, were very worried, afraid of your accident."

"Sorry." El scratched his hair. "It makes you worried."

Because El gave the order to prevent his subordinates from telling others about his feat of stopping Dunjar’s offensive with one person in the western battlefield, so few people know about it except those of El’s subordinates at the time. At that time, Dengjiaer would retreat, a large part of the reason was because Ayer came forward to dissuade Dengjiaer.

"Oh, this battle is really miserable." Gabriel sighed, "Whether it is in the east or the west, they have been fought badly, especially in the west."

This year should be regarded as the most tragic year since the establishment of the Holy Hiran Empire.

At the same time, it was flanked by the Britannia Empire and the Far East steppe people, and was attacked on both sides.

There is no need to elaborate on how badly the west that was invaded by the Britannia Empire was beaten.

The Far East, which was attacked by the prairie people, was also beaten badly.

In last year's "Hammer" operation, the emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire-Vahili transferred 100,000 troops from the Far Eastern Front to participate in this large-scale battle.

And these 100,000 generals from the Far Eastern Front had either died in the Egerhar Corridor, or were captured by the Michael Knights and then taken to do free coolies.

The Far Eastern Front, which is missing 100,000 fresh troops, will naturally lose its combat power.

After the "Hammer" operation ended, the Far East Front Army not only lost 100,000 troops, but also lost an outstanding commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief of the Far East Front was originally Dominic.

But after the "Hammer" battle ended, Dominic fell ill due to self-blame, shame, and pressure, and he has not recovered until now.

Naturally, Dominic, who had fallen ill, could no longer be qualified for the post of commander-in-chief of the front army, so now the commander-in-chief of the Far East front army has been replaced by another marshal.

And this new commander, in terms of personal ability, is naturally under Dominica.

A commander-in-chief with poor ability, commanding a front army with less than 100,000 troops-with such a lineup to meet the menacing Huns, the battle situation is naturally quite tight.

After the Huns launched a full-scale offensive against the Far East of the Holy Hiran Empire, no one part of the Far East Defense Line of the Holy Hiran Empire was not tight.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Huns, the Far East defense line of the Holy Hiran Empire was torn open in many places.

A large number of Huns followed these torn holes into the Far East mainland of the Holy Hiran Empire and looted them in a big way.

It was not until the central government urgently allocated a batch of reinforcements that they finally managed to defend the broken Far East defense line and did not allow more Hungarians to "leak" in.

After realizing that there was no way to get more benefits from this war, the Hungarians could easily retreat in mid-June.

Under the attack and plunder of the Huns, the Far Eastern territory of the Holy Hiran Empire also suffered severe damage, but it was not as severe as the West.

After all, the ultimate goal of the Britannia empire’s offensive was to strike at the national power of the Holy Hiran Empire.

Therefore, the Britannia army was organized, organized, and planned, whether it was offensive or sabotage.

The Hungarians simply plundered. There is no organization or plan at all, just like a gang of bandits, grabbing whatever they see.

The Holy Hiran Empire was a big defeat in this two-state attack. Both the west and the east were beaten and destroyed miserably.

People with a little bit of wisdom and some understanding of national politics can see that after this year's two-state attack, the Holy Hiran Empire will no longer be a "superpower".

Let alone the "superpower", whether the Holy Hiran Empire can maintain the integrity of the country and prevent its destruction is a question.

Because after this attack between the two countries, there is still an important issue waiting for the Central Government of the Holy Hiran Empire to deal with.

That is the reconstruction of the eastern and western territories and the handling of refugees.

The reconstruction of the eastern and western territories can be done slowly, but the handling of the refugees can be said to be urgent.

If the millions of refugees are not handled properly, these millions of refugees are very likely to launch riots.

It is not impossible for the refugee riots of this scale to directly cause the sacred Hiran Empire, whose military and financial resources have fallen sharply, to subjugate.

After Gabriel's voice fell, Camille, who was sitting next to him, gave a "hum" smile and said:

"If our country wants to continue Guozuo, then the only choice is to alliance with the Frankish Empire."

"According to my estimation, our country's current national strength is less than half of what it was before the launch of the'Hammer' operation."

"Whether such a weak national power can handle the current refugee tide is a big problem."

"We need to form an alliance with the Frankish Empire and then get help from the Frankish Empire."

"As long as there is the help of the Frankish Empire, it will not be difficult to survive the current crisis."

"And as long as we form an alliance with the Frankish Empire, the Britannia Empire will no longer act rashly, and we will also be able to gain strength that can compete with the Britannia Empire and the Hungarian ‘Buhungarian Alliance’.”

Speaking of this, Camille seemed to think of something, paused, and then continued:

"Actually-as long as we learned of the alliance between the Britannia and the Huns, we should have formed an alliance with the Frankish Empire. As long as the alliance with the Frankish Empire, we can liberate a large amount of combat power of the Southeast Front Army."

"As long as a large amount of combat power can be liberated from the Southeast Front Army, then whether it is the'hammer' operation or this year's battle, there may be different results."

"I really don't know what Vasily was thinking..."

Before Camille had finished speaking, El hurriedly raised his hand to cover Camille's mouth.

"Camille..." El said with a helpless smile, "This is a public place, so it's better to say that less."

"Associate with the Frank Empire... What if our Emperor is still unwilling to form an alliance with the Frank Empire?" Gabriel asked Camille.

"If our emperor still doesn't want to form an alliance with the Frankish Empire." Camille pulled El's hand covering her mouth, "Then there is no hope for this kind of country. Let's perish soon."

"Alright, alright." At this time, El said helplessly, "Should stop talking about such a heavy thing, let's talk about something happier."

Speaking of this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Al seemed to think of something, turned his head, and asked Gabriel beside him:

"By the way, Gabriel, how is the development of the musket during my absence these days?"

As soon as El’s words fell, Gabriel shrugged:

"No progress, money was spent very quickly, but nothing was gained."

"But—the blacksmith named Oleg, seems a bit weird lately."

"Weird?" El wondered. "What do you mean?"

"In the last few days, he always held a few flints and stared at these flints without knowing what he was thinking. El, you can ask him what's wrong, why do you want to stare at them like a lunatic? A few pieces of flint."

"Flint...Okay, I understand." El nodded, "Then I will go to Oleg and ask."
