The news of the invasion of the "superpower" Holy Hillan Empire took less than half a day to reach Baidi City, the capital of the northern border, and to the General Administration of the Northern border.
Britannia Empire, North Frontier, Baiti City, North Frontier General Administration.
"What, what?!"
"The Sheeran army actually invaded!"
"Have you approached the Avalon Fortress?!"
...
After hearing the news, senior officials in the Northbound Administration were amazed and pondered.
A drop of cold sweat slid from Humphrey's forehead.
Standing beside Humphrey, Allin, who was Humphrey's left and right hands, looked very ugly at this time.
"Governor General, what the worst is..." Allin said in a deep voice to Humphrey.
"Well...yes." Humphrey responded in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that the 'superpower' would really stick out fangs to us again... And at this most critical moment, Commander Cheng hadn't come back yet... Now I just hope Deputy Commander Willie can block Sheeran's army."
Although the news of the Sheeran army's re-invasion of the south was shocking and terrifying, Humphrey, who had been to the high position of the Governor of the North with his own talents, was not a mediocre person with a slow reaction.
"Don't be dazed! Get moving for me!"
Humphrey whispered to the senior officials in front of him:
"Mobilize all the means of transportation that can be mobilized! Prepare to mobilize sufficient baggage to support Avalon Fortress!"
"We must never let the Sheeran army break through the Avalon Fortress!"
"The Avalon Fortress is gone! Then the entire northern border is gone!"
...
...
Britannian Empire, North Frontier, Base No. 1.
Dong-! Dong-! Dong-! Dong-!
The rapid bell rang throughout the entire No. 1 base.
After hearing the bell, the soldiers of the 4th Army stationed at Base No. 1 immediately moved.
Although I was not sure what was going on, Darlena, who had just taken off her armor and was about to take a nap, immediately jumped out of the bed like a conditioned reflex after hearing the series of rapid bells, quickly put on her armor, and ran out of the tent.
Yara followed Darlena and asked Darlena:
"Dalene! What happened?! Why did the bell ring suddenly?!"
"What do I know!" Darlena replied angrily, "Don't worry about so much for now! Go and gather quickly!"
This bell sound - is a collection order.
Once the sound is heard, all the soldiers in the base, no matter what they are doing at this time, must immediately put down the business collection at hand.
After hearing the bell and then arriving at the meeting place, it took Darlena less than a minute.
After arriving at the meeting place, Darlena met Lin Sai, the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army.
Judging from Linsay's current appearance, Darlena speculated that Linsay might not know why she suddenly issued an emergency call.
Although it was unclear what happened that the bell suddenly rang, all the soldiers arrived at the gathering place obediently, standing straight, waiting for the next order to be issued.
...
...
at the same time--
Britannian Empire, North Frontier, Base No. 2.
"Don't wait for all the brigades to be assembled! Which brigades are assembled, which brigades will set out first!"
"Anyway, this is within our Britannian Empire! Even if the team is lengthened, it doesn't matter! No foreign enemies will attack us!"
Gary, who was responsible for leading the 3rd Army to station Base 2, issued orders after orders, directing the 3rd Army troops to leave Base 2 and support the Avalon Fortress.
After the brigades were assembled, the brigades left Base No. 2 and headed to the Avalon Fortress to prepare for the upcoming offensive and defensive battle.
Gary, who usually smiles and always has a warm smile on his face, looked very serious at this time.
Because - Gary is also a knight with rich combat experience.
Gary also participated in the "288 Defense Operation Against the North" four years ago, so he deeply understood how powerful the Sheeran Army was.
Therefore, in the face of such a serious situation, Gary, who was afraid to relax, began to do his best to order the soldiers of the 3rd Army to go north to support the Avalon Fortress.
...
...
While Gary, Del and his team led the 3rd Army and the 4th Army to support the north, an emergency military meeting was also being held at the Avalon Fortress.
All the knights who stayed in the fortress, including Alisa and Deng Jiaer, participated in the emergency military meeting held by Willie.
On one wall in the conference room, a large map with detailed contents is hung.
The knights who attended the meeting all put on their helmets and armor, wore their knight swords, sat in front of this big map, and looked at the big map in front of them with a serious expression.
This big map is a map of the Eighar Corridor.
The locations of the two fortresses, Avalon Fortress and Muhavic Fortress, are where there are rivers and where there are highlands... This big map is clearly marked.
Willie, who was also wearing armor and wearing a knight's sword, stood in front of this big map and said in a deep voice to the knights in front of him:
"This morning, the Holy Hillan Empire officially tore up the armistice agreement between the two countries and launched an invasion of our Britannia Empire."
"They don't have to worry about their reasons for declaring war. It doesn't matter whether they know this kind of thing or not."
"They claimed to have raised 800,000 troops, but this number was obviously exaggerated by them."
"According to the intelligence and scouts' observations, the Sheeran army's combat troops had at most 300,000 people."
"But even if the combat troops only have 300,000 people, the scale of this force is amazing."
"After all, the total strength of our Michael Knights is only 120,000."
"Even if we have the geographical location of the Avalon Fortress, we should not underestimate the enemy."
"Because, the commander of the Sheeran army that invaded this time was Dominic!"
After hearing the name of Dominic, many of the knights present couldn't help but swallowed because of their nervousness.
Dominic, the first marshal of the Holy Hillan Empire, his name is known to everyone on the continent.
To describe him as a word that has experienced many battles is still a bit deficient, because Dominic, who has decades of military experience, has participated in more than a hundred battles in his life.
The "288 Defense Operation Against the North" that caused heavy damage to the Knights of Michael four years ago, the commander of the Sheeran army was Dominic.
Many of the knights present experienced the "288 defense battle against the North" four years ago, so they had a deep understanding of how strong the combat effectiveness of the Sheeran army commanded by Dominic was.
“The situation is very serious now.”
Willie continued to whisper to the knights in front of him.
"The leader hasn't come back yet."
"That is, now we can only find a way to defend the Avalon Fortress!"
