"Is the Fran Empire really going to be finished this time?"

Duke subconsciously muttered, he had seen the situation of the Fran Empire embattled before, but now that he really heard that the Fran Empire was coming to an end, he still felt a sense of unreality, a seemingly powerful empire fell really fast.

"I don't know, but even if it is held this time, it is estimated that the Fran Empire will fall into the eve of splitting, and all the lords will have ideas. ”

Alan finally said such a sentence, after these two battles, everyone has seen the weakness of the French Empire, and when the time comes, it will not only be external enemies, but also internal problems. After all, the empire of this era was not a strong centralized system, but a structure similar to the feudal system.

When the central government is strong, the lower ones can be obedient, and once the central empire is weak, the lords below want to replace them. Even if there is no actual action, at least he will not listen to the orders of the Emperor Fran anymore, who will maintain a decaying and declining drip? If he really has this strength, why not create a new and powerful empire himself?

The situation in the Fran Empire Duke didn't make any moves in the end, just let Alan continue to pay attention, anyway, the storm territory is at the edge of the empire, and it is close to the dangerous area of the monster valley, unless the entire Fran Empire has fallen, it is estimated that no emperor will not think of attacking a place like the storm territory, so Duke is not worried at all.

The only estimate that Duke cares about is Princess Gina, but now Duke is estimated to be similar to an enemy in the eyes of Princess Kina, after all, the current situation of the French Empire has an indescribable causal relationship with Duke. It may not be caused by Duke, but Duke ignited this powder keg and finally destroyed the last line of defense of the French Empire.

The invasion of the Milan Empire also attracted the attention of almost everyone on the continent, and even the Hans Empire on the border of the French Empire was rumored to be a little impatient, because although the barbarian invasion caused a devastating blow to the French Empire, it was almost the case for themselves, and the four khanates gathered hundreds of thousands of cavalry to invade, and in the end less than half of them returned, and it is estimated that they will not want to organize a large-scale attack in the next few years.

The biggest winner of the weakening of the barbarians and the Fran Empire is the Hans Empire, after all, these two people are enemies of the Hans Empire. And there is no interest in the Hans Empire, the territory of the barbarians, it is all cold grasslands, and there is nothing to want. But for the territory of the French Empire, the Hans Empire was still very interested.

However, this time, the Holy See strictly forbade the Hans Empire to send troops, and even legend has it that the Holy City sent a warning to the Hans Emperor. Because the previous move of the Hans Empire to send troops was against the will of the Holy See, and it simply did not give the Holy See any face.

This move made the Holy See high-ranking in the Holy City very angry, and they had already ordered a reprimand of the Hans Empire. If the Hans Empire is not obedient this time, it is estimated that he will encounter the situation before the French Empire, and other empires on the continent will attack it in groups to break up the territory of the Hans Empire. Therefore, in the face of such a punitive order from the Holy See, Emperor Hans still had to choose patience even if he was drooling over the territory of the French Empire.

The Hans Empire did not move, in fact, it did not change much for the situation of the Fran Empire, because the Imperial army in the northern defense line had completely collapsed at the time of the last barbarian invasion. The First Imperial Legion, the Imperial Guards Legion, and the Second Imperial Legion, which took over the Imperial defense, were all wiped out, and only the Imperial Guards fled back with the advantage of cavalry.

It was because of the heavy casualties of the Imperial Army this time that it dealt a fatal blow to the central power of the French royal family. You must know that the total number of these three legions is about 30,000. 25,000 people were lost at once, plus the later Royal Knights and the Palace Forbidden Army also suffered losses, and the entire Central Legion was 60,000 before, and now there are only 20,000 left.

Even if Henry VII had later urgently dispatched the Imperial Legions from all over the country to come to his aid, the total number of troops in the hands of Emperor Fran would not have exceeded 50,000. What's more important is that the withdrawal of the Imperial Legion from the major territories has led to the absence of the power of the Imperial Army in those territories, which is equivalent to the complete liberation of the autonomy of other lords, and it is conceivable that these lords will have no scruples about expanding their armies and developing.

Therefore, this barbarian invasion has caused the de facto lord division of the French Empire in a sense, and it is no longer the unified empire that the emperor ordered to issue before.

In the early stage of the Milan Empire, 100,000 troops directly crushed Prince Edward's army in the field, and the entire eastern defense line of the Prince of Edward's territory was beaten to only one Edward City, and Prince Edward led the remaining 30,000 Edward troops to defend the city, intending to let the Milan Imperial Army enter the empire, and he would not go out of the city to defend.

On the one hand, it is really impossible to fight, because the 100,000 troops of the Milan Empire are only the early army, and about 100,000 troops have been gathered in the rear and are on the way to invade the French Empire. It can be said that this time the Milan Empire is also a national force, and the number of invading troops exceeds the number of any war between the two countries, and it is estimated that it is also planning to take advantage of the illness of the French Empire to take the life of the French Empire. Therefore, if the 30,000 people of Prince Edward's army want to go out of the city to defend, it will be simply a food delivery, and the gap in strength is too big.

If the River Lane thaws in the spring, it is estimated that it will still be able to cause a half-crossing attack, a grand event in which a few people take advantage of the advantageous terrain to defeat the majority of the army. But in this situation, Prince Edward has no way, even if there is a way, it is estimated that he will not use it, because the last 30,000 people are already the foundation of his life, if these 30,000 people are gone, then he is a prince of the bare pole.

Even if the army of the Milan Empire is repulsed, with the current strength of the Central Army, can it resist the ambitions of other lords and the ambitions of the Prince of Andorra?

For the ambitions and changes of the Prince of Andorra, Prince Edward has always been in the eyes, the entire Prince of Andorra's army from the initial 10,000 people, through a war after the crazy expansion of the army, reached nearly 50,000 people and his own level, it can be said that the Prince of Andorra's ambition is already Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know, how could Prince Edward give him this opportunity?
