Chapter 670 The offensive and defensive battle in the north begins!
The Imperial Calendar of the Britannian Empire April 18, 292.
The Britannian Empire, the northern border, the Avalon Fortress, somewhere outside the Great Wall.
The weather has gradually become warmer, and in a small basin outside the Avalon Fortress, the originally thick snow had almost melted at this time.
A patrol team of the Knights of Michael is now keeping watch in this small basin.
Since receiving news of abnormal movements in the Holy Hillan Empire, Willie immediately ordered the patrol efforts outside the Great Wall.
Originally, the Knights of Michael would send many patrols outside the West every day to patrol the area controlled by their Britannian Empire, monitoring the movements of the northern Holy Hillan Empire.
After Willie ordered the patrol efforts to strengthen, the number of people patrolling outside the Great Wall has increased by nearly five times every day.
The captain of the patrol team, a middle-aged man with a big scar on his face, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead:
"The weather is getting hotter now..."
This patrol team, including the Scarface Captain, has a total of 15 people.
As soon as Captain Scarface finished his words, the remaining 14 team members immediately agreed.
It is already mid-April and the weather has begun to warm up significantly. The thick snow on the ground has almost melted away at this time.
Let’s chat together for a few casual words - it’s the only pastime when their patrol team performs boring patrol missions.
Soldiers who can be used as scouts and patrol soldiers are not ordinary soldiers.
Scouts should always go deep into the enemy's territory, know how to distinguish the direction, and know how to analyze and judge the current situation of the enemy. Therefore, they have extremely high requirements for personal qualities. They are generally composed of the most elite soldiers in the army, and these people are equipped with the best war horses, weapons, and have extremely strong personal combat power.
The same is true for patrols. Patrols need to patrol outside military strongholds or outside military camps. Once there is any special discovery, they must go back and report immediately. This important and difficult task cannot be done by ordinary soldiers.
The captain of this patrol team is also an experienced veteran of war.
Although he was chatting with his teammates, he still had a very high alertness and listened carefully to the movements around him.
At this moment, Captain Scarface, who heard some strange movements, suddenly opened his eyes wide and immediately stood up from the ground: "There is movement in the distance in the north!"
All those who can participate in patrol missions are elite troops in the army.
As soon as the captain finished speaking, all the soldiers quickly reacted.
A soldier who was very good at looking in this patrol team who was specialized in looking up to a high ground and looked north.
The soldier who climbed to the high ground had just turned his eyes to the north, and his face changed instantly.
"team leader!"
The soldier immediately climbed down from the high ground and reported to Captain Scarface:
"It's the army of the Holy Hillan Empire!"
"Shiran Army?" Captain Scarface asked in a deep voice, "How many troops are there?"
"I can't count it! It's as dense as an ant colony! The team has grown to the point where it can't be seen!"
"What?!"
Captain Scarface's throat twitched involuntarily and took a deep breath.
...
...
Britannian Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress.
"What?!" Willy exclaimed to the messenger in front of him, "The large-scale Sheeran army left the Muhaviz Fortress and headed towards us?!"
"Yes! The countless Sheeran troops left the Muhavic Fortress and advanced toward us through the Eghar Corridor!"
"How far is the fortress of the Sheeran Army now from the fortress?" Willie asked.
"There are about 40 miles left!"
"What is their marching speed?!"
...
Willie asked about every important piece of information.
After interrogating each important piece of information, Willie's face became even more gloomy and he murmured in a low voice:
"It's so bad... the worst situation imagined actually happened... Damn, they caught the invasion too well... The regiment commander hasn't come back yet..."
Although Willie was upset, he did not lose his sense of measure or reason.
Before Su Cheng could come back, he could only rely on him as the deputy commander to block the invading Sheeran army and defend the Avalon Fortress.
Willie, who quickly adjusted his state and mentality, immediately ordered the messenger:
"Go and call Raymond, Samuel and the others!"
...
...
The Sheeran army went south on a large scale - the news spread throughout the Avalon Fortress with extremely fast news.
After learning that Sheeran's army had moved south, Willy immediately ordered the fortress to enter a state of combat readiness.
At the same time, it was also ordered that Del and Gary, who were left behind in Base 1 and Base 2, immediately lead the 3rd Army and the 4th Army to support the Avalon Fortress.
After learning that the Holy Heran Empire launched another invasion on them, some civilians living in the Avalon Fortress planned to withdraw from the fortress for refuge due to fear of military disasters.
Willy did not stop these civilians who wanted to leave the fortress for the time being. Instead, he also divided some of his men to help the civilians leave the Avalon Fortress and assisted the civilians to evacuate to other cities south of the fortress for refuge.
...
...
Britannian Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng's home.
Unlike the Avalon Fortress, which has begun to be noisy now, Su Cheng's home is still as peaceful and peaceful as usual.
Su Cheng has not yet rushed back to the fortress.
Alisa just received Willy's emergency call and should be at the headquarters of the Knights of Michael.
So in the huge home, only Kylor and Alan are left.
"Kylor! Are you really not planning to take refuge in other cities?"
Alan looked at Kylor anxiously.
"I say that the scale of the invasion of the Holy Hillan Empire this time was unusual, and it is very dangerous to stay in the Avalon Fortress! Even Mr. Willy and the others are encouraging the people to temporarily evacuate the fortress and seek refuge!"
Although he had learned that the Holy Hillan Empire had launched a large-scale attack on them, Kylor still remained calm.
Still sitting on the sofa very calmly, weaving something.
After listening to Alanti's words, Kylor smiled and then cast a angrily look at Alan:
"Alan, what are you talking about?"
"I am the wife of Su Cheng, the leader of the Michael Knights' Order and the highest leader of the Northern Front."
"As the wife of the regiment commander, how can I hide in the rear and take refuge like an ordinary civilian?"
"And--Alan, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Your brother is very strong."
"When Cheng rushed back, no matter how many people came to invade us, he would definitely be able to defeat the invading enemy."
...
...
Britannian Empire April 18, 292.
On this day, the vanguard of the 300,000 combat troops of the Hiran Army drove out of the Muhavic Fortress and headed towards the Avalon Fortress.
