This mountain road is not something that people can walk on.

There are dense forests, steep, gravel, and snow everywhere.

The 2,000 soldiers brought by El are the elite among the elites in the army, and their physical strength and foot strength are far superior to ordinary soldiers.

Even if these 2,000 soldiers are so elite, there is no way to march for too long in this mountain road that is not for people to walk on.

After walking for less than an hour, El, Gabriel and the 2,000 soldiers had to stop and rest.

After finding a relatively flat place to rest, the 2,000 soldiers couldn't wait to take out their kettle and jerky. Drink water, eat jerky, and replenish their energy.

Gabriel said to Elle as he stuffed the jerky into his mouth:

"I'm really in trouble. I'll follow you to climb the Eighar Mountains. It's a shame that I can always carry you. It's not a way for people to walk through so many things."

Although Gabriel said this, there was no point in his tone of blaming El.

Elle, who had been used to Gabriel's broken mouth, after hearing Gabriel's words, he just smiled bitterly twice, and then continued to drink the water in the pot.

Now is a rare rest time. In order not to waste this precious rest time, Gabriel began to chat with El.

"El, are there too few troops responsible for crossing the Eighar Mountains and sneaking into the Avalon Fortress from the rear? Is 2,000 people enough for us to successfully attack?"

As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, El smiled and replied:

"The number of people is just right."

"This road crossing the Eighar Mountains is not something that people can walk on at all. You should have a deep understanding of this, Gabriel, right?"

Gabriel quickly nodded vigorously.

"Since it is not a path that people can walk, they can only walk by powerful elites."

"The 2,000 soldiers we brought were elite soldiers carefully selected by the teacher in the army. Apart from these 2,000 people, there should not be many soldiers in the army who can cross the Aeghar Mountains."

"Even if these 2,000 elites came to cross the Eighar Mountains, there were many surprises. So far, about 40 people have fallen to death. As for the injured, there are more."

"Those elites can even walk this mountain road with so many casualties, let alone ordinary soldiers."

"If ordinary soldiers came to walk this mountain road, they might have lost their morale due to excessive casualties before they could finish halfway.

"And, there should not be too many troops going around the rear of Avalon Fortress to cross the Eighar Mountains."

"If there are too many troops, it is easy to expose our whereabouts."

"After successfully crossing the Eighar Mountains, we must hide our whereabouts and not allow the Britannians to discover that the Sheeran army was around the back of the Avalon Fortress."

"If someone discovers us, this sneak attack can be declared a failure."

"2,000 people - this one is not too many or too small, just right. If the number of troops is more than 2,000, it will not be so easy to hide."

After listening to Elle's explanation, Gabriel nodded in a vague way: "So that's it..."

Then, the two fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Gabriel said in a somewhat lost tone:

"Do you want to sneak attack on the fortress where Brother Su Cheng is located... If only His Majesty can allow the retreat... I really don't want to be enemies with the little enemy Su Cheng..."

In three years, El, Gabriel and Camille took advantage of the rare holiday to visit the Britannian Empire.

When he came to Akanrea, not far from the Britannian Empire, to soak in the hot springs, El and Gabriel met Su Cheng, who happened to be on a hot spring trip here at that time.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, both of them like Su Cheng very much, especially Gabriel, who also wrestled with Su Cheng.

After listening to Gabriel's sigh, Elle's tone also became a little lower:

"Well, too. I have different positions, so I can only do this. He is the knight of the Britannian Empire, and we are the generals and quartermasters of the Holy Hillan Empire. I just hope this will be the last showdown between us."

...

...

3 days later.

The Holy Hillan Empire, somewhere in the territory.

“Hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…”

Darlena felt her lungs explode.

Three days ago, a long-distance raid that didn't know where the destination was, began without any prior notice.

march.

Continuously marched.

Even if your legs feel like they are about to break, they will continue to march.

During the march, in order to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, the soldiers will usually put down their weapons and take off their armor.

Weapons and armor are all loaded in horse carriages or donkey carriages and mule carriages responsible for carrying.

These animals are responsible for carrying their equipment and reducing the burden on the soldiers.

A large number of scouts were arranged on the periphery of the marching queue.

Once the scout found that an enemy was approaching, he would go back immediately and report the information to his superiors, asking the soldiers who were not equipped to quickly pierce the armor, take weapons, and prepare to defend against the enemy.

Therefore, the scouts must be arranged in a wide range so that after the scouts find that an enemy is approaching and returning to report, they can give the troops sufficient time to prepare to wear equipment to defend against the enemy.

Wear armor and marching with weapons - this is usually done only during training.

Pay attention to marching training - this has always been a tradition of the Britannian Empire's army.

No matter which Knight Order is, marching training is one of the most important training events.

After Su Cheng took over as the commander of the Knights of Michael, he also strengthened the training of the Knights of Michael.

During daily training, the generals and soldiers of the Knights of Michael were all wearing armor and weapons, and marched in full armed manner.

This kind of marching method that does not require armor and weapons is naturally a piece of cake for generals and soldiers who have long been accustomed to the high-intensity marching.

But everything has to be discussed to a certain extent.

You don’t have to wear equipment and walk 30 miles a day - this is no problem for the generals and soldiers of the Knights of Michael, and can be easily accomplished.

Without wearing equipment, you can walk more than 70 miles a day - this is not an easy task for the generals and soldiers from the Knights of Michael.

Since the long-distance raid started three days ago in the afternoon, we have eliminated the first day of the raid, and every day after that, we have been raiding at a speed of more than 70 miles a day.

The reason why the first day did not reach the speed of more than 70 miles a day was purely because when the long-distance raid started on the first day, it was already afternoon. After walking for less than half a day, the first day's raid ended.
