Chapter 1712: Requesting Help

At this moment, on the other side of Europe.

Saxony, Parliament Court.

The King of Saxony and Prince Soubise were looking together at a map of the Halei Mountain region and the Saxony heavy industrial zone.

Although Prince Soubise was a general of the Holy Cross Army, he was still a prince of France.

Even between allies, showing one's national map to the other party is a very risky matter.

This map was not some administrative division; it was marked in detail with the specific Geography of this most important region of Saxony.

This included the surrounding mountain and river environments, terrain, jungles, and other highly critical strategic sensitive information.

For any country, this is something that cannot be easily permitted, even if the two countries are allies, it is impossible.

This is different from the Holy Cross Army borrowing a path to attack Prussia; the information the Holy Cross Army gathered along the way was very one-sided and extremely scarce.

The King of Saxony was not unaware of the gravity of this matter.

But he was helpless.

Frederick II attacked Saxony, attempting to occupy Saxony and make it a province of Prussia.

This would cause the King of Saxony to lose his throne and also have to bow and submit to him.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Moreover, countries like Prussia, Saxony, and Austria were all great vassals of the Holy Roman Empire.

By what right should Saxony submit to you, Frederick II, a mere vassal?

The current throne of the Holy Roman Empire is in the hands of the Habsburg Family.

The Habsburg Family is a behemoth family that has ruled the Holy Roman Empire in Europe for over three hundred years.

Although the Habsburg Family has experienced splits and now only two branches remain, the Holy Roman Empire has always been under their control.

Not only that, the two branches of the same Habsburg Family came together again after more than a dozen generations.

The Archduchess of Austria, Teresa, and her husband, Franz from the Lorraine Family, joined together.

This was destined to create the power of the Habsburg Family.

Teresa indeed accomplished this; she is already the Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Hungary. Although the Lorraine Family has declined and Franz is dead, the Habsburg Family remains powerful.

And you, Frederick II, are at best a house vassal, and a heretic who believes in Protestantism at that; how dare you speak of seizing the throne of the Holy Roman Empire?

To the King of Saxony, this was a shameless joke. Especially after negotiations failed, Frederick II's invasion of Saxony made him even more furious; this is the reason why, even though they are both Germany countries, they hate each other as enemies.

Therefore, in order to overthrow and dismantle Prussia, the King of Saxony is willing to pay any price.

He would even go so far as to tell his former enemy, France, some of his country's classified information without hesitation!

Longyan, as an ally of Prussia, is now entrenched in the vital point of Saxony, acting as a stone on their path to destroying Prussia.

The King of Saxony cannot handle this himself now, so naturally, he must find a way to seek foreign aid.

Clearly, this branch of the Holy Cross Army led by Prince Soubise is the most suitable foreign aid they can find.

The King of Saxony looked at Prince Soubise's expressionless face and said, "The Longyan army has buried a large number of traps in Halei Mountain. Our troops have tried to break through and attack, but they have suffered heavy casualties from these traps."

Prince Soubise glanced at the King of Saxony and said indifferently, "This is within your Saxony territory. The Longyan army is only on Halei Mountain. With your troop strength and conditions, couldn't you easily block the Longyan army by surrounding the mountain?"

"They only have a mere fifty thousand men, and it is winter now, lacking food. If you surround the mountain and cut off their supply lines, wouldn't you be able to starve these Longyan troops to death?"

"Where is the need for troops to wipe them out?"

Prince Soubise asked with great confusion.

He knew the combat level of the Saxony troops; although they could not compete with French troops, they were still a moderately famous force in Europe. Such tactics should not have been difficult for them, and they should not have failed to adopt them.

The King of Saxony sighed and said, "Prince, we have adopted all the Methods you mentioned. Not only did they have no effect, but we were instead cut off from our supply lines by the Longyan army."

Prince Soubise was stunned: "Impossible. This is a conclusion drawn from observation. These Longyan army units do not have any Cavalry. How could they launch surprise attacks and even cut off your supply lines?"

The King of Saxony also said in disbelief: "These Longyan people seem to have the ability to predict the future."

"Every one of our action plans seems to be known by the other side."

"Including even what our marching plans are, what the specific routes are..."

"Not only that, these Longyan troops are always elusive. Although they have no Cavalry, both their retreats and attacks are extremely rapid, making them impossible to guard against."

"Not long ago, our supplies were looted by the Longyan army. That time we specifically sent out a Cavalry unit to escort them, but it was useless."

"The Longyan army used some unknown Method, as if the places they walked over would explode. Every time our troops charged up, the ground would be blown up, causing men and horses to tumble."

"The Dragon Flame Army does not know what Method they used, as if the places they pass through will explode; every time our troops charge up, they end up blowing the ground apart and sending our men and horses flying."

After hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly.

Prince Soubise realized the severity of the situation; he had never heard of such a combat style, it could even be called unheard of.

However, there was one thing he could be certain of.

Prince Soubise looked around at the guards the King of Saxony had brought and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it is best if only the two of us know what I am about to say next."

The King of Saxony looked at Prince Soubise suspiciously and was slightly taken aback: "These are my personal guards; the Prince need not worry."

Prince Soubise leaned in and whispered a few words, and the King's face turned pale with shock!

The King of Saxony immediately ordered: "You all withdraw first; I need to speak with Prince Soubise alone."

The King of Saxony immediately gave the order: "You all withdraw first; I wish to speak with Prince Soubise alone."

The guards left. The King of Saxony looked at Prince Soubise, a flash of panic in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Prince, is everything you just said true?"

Prince Soubise nodded. Upon receiving confirmation, the King of Saxony suddenly realized everything.

A sense of lingering fear arose spontaneously; he had never imagined that the Longyan army he was facing now was such a terrifying existence.

Prince Soubise was extremely serious and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you need not be too worried. That legendary figure from Longyan, Lord Liu Zheng, once established the world's largest intelligence agency."

"It is normal for your Saxony intelligence to be leaked."

The King of Saxony stared at Prince Soubise and said coldly, "But according to what you say, my Saxony now has no secrets left to speak of!"

The King of Saxony stared at Prince Soubise and said coldly, "But according to what you say, my Saxony now has no secrets left to speak of!"
