The fierce battle lasted from morning to evening.
It was not until the sun set and the first day of the offensive and defensive battle of Avalon Fortress finally came to an end.
Neither Su Cheng nor Dominic want to fight in the dark, fighting in the dark will only increase unnecessary casualties.
After the sun set, the two armies withdrew at the same time in a tacit understanding.
Of course, it is impossible for all the troops on the walls of the Avalon Fortress to be withdrawn, and there is still a small amount of troops guarding against the possibility of night attacks by the Sheeran army.
...
...
Xilan Army's main camp, the commander's camp.
"Deaths - 1498 people, minor injuries - 2332 people, serious injuries - 318 people, total casualties - 4548 people."
After listening to the casualties report, Dominic's face quickly became gloomy.
Not only Dominic's face became gloomy, but the faces of all the generals in the camp quickly became ugly.
After a long time, Dominic let out a long sigh and sighed: "It's really worthy of being a siege... It's really worthy of being the Avalon Fortress. 4,148 casualties were killed in just one day..."
Siege - the battle with the most tragic casualties.
What's more, this "Harm War" attacked not an ordinary city, but the first fortress of the Britannian Empire like Avalon Fortress.
Although it had been expected that the casualties would not be too small, after hearing the casualties report, Dominic could not help but be shocked by the heavy casualties.
The heavy casualties are not scary. The most terrifying thing is that they have suffered heavy casualties but have not achieved excellent results.
Although the battle today was fierce, the situation did not make any substantial progress.
Although they fought from morning to night, the battle was tug-of-war on the walls of the Avalon Fortress.
Even though they fought until dawn, the Sheeran army did not show any signs of being able to take down the outer wall of Avalon Fortress.
According to the report sent back by the soldiers, the Knights of Michael have become much stronger than before.
Because the Michael Knights had always been stationed in the north of the Britannian Empire and always dealt with the Sheeran army, some veterans of the Sheeran army had a lot of experience in fighting with the Michael Knights.
These veterans deeply realized that the Knights of Michael are really different from before.
The most obvious difference is that the Knights of Michael have become much stronger.
The soldiers of the Knights of Michael were much stronger than before. Fighting with them was often the soldiers of their Sheeran army at a disadvantage.
These ordinary soldiers can only feel that the quality of the soldiers of the Michael Knights has been improved, but senior generals like Dominic who have experienced many battles and have fought against the Michael Knights in the past can clearly feel that the command level of the Michael Knights has improved leap compared to before.
"Is it because the Knights of Michael implemented the 'army commander system'?" Dominic murmured in a low voice, "Is it because the commander of the Knights of Michael was replaced by Su Cheng..."
Dominic is becoming increasingly unsure about whether he can successfully conquer the Avalon Fortress by force.

...
at the same time.
Fortress Avalon, Headquarters of the Knights of Michael, Command Room.
Su Cheng, who was located in the command room, looked at the large map hanging on the wall while quietly listening to Willy's report standing behind him.
"In today's battle, a total of 612 people died, 303 people were injured, 89 people were seriously injured, and the total casualties - 1,004 people."
The casualties of the defending city are often lower than those of the siege city, so compared with the casualties of the Sheeran army, the casualties of the Michael Knights are undoubtedly much smaller.
After listening to Willy's report, Su Cheng nodded gently.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. The casualties of Xilan's army should be about 4 to 5 times that of our army."
"Such fierce battle will not last long. As long as we last for a while, the Sheeran army will have a sharp drop in morale due to excessive casualties and will never be able to launch such a fierce attack again."
"I'm afraid that by then, the Sheeran army will change its strategy and no longer fight with us, but will fight with us for troops and food." Willie smiled bitterly.
"They fight whatever they want. Whether they want to fight with us or fight with us soldiers and food. No matter what battle he wants, I will accompany him to the end."
Su Cheng chuckled a few times, then continued:
"If they really want to fight with us, we still have the advantage."
"They are on the expedition, and we are the local defense."
"In addition, our troops are much smaller than them, and the logistics pressure is only one-some of theirs."
"If we want to fight for military and food, I'm afraid they won't be able to consume us."
"Today's battle was also very good. The Sheeran army did not gain any advantage from beginning to end and did not achieve any results. The outer wall of the Avalon Fortress remains standing."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Willie, who was standing behind Su Cheng, smiled and said:
"Yes, the casualties of the Sheeran army are much greater than ours. As long as we can maintain this momentum today, we will definitely win."
In the siege battle, the siege party will always suffer the loss.
From the beginning, the Knights of Michael had the advantage and had the upper hand in this offensive and defensive battle in the Avalon Fortress.
Willie was not arrogant, what he said just now was indeed correct.
As long as we continue to maintain the momentum today and nothing unexpected happens, then their Knights of Michael will win.
After listening to Willie's words, Su Cheng just smiled slightly.
Then continue to look at the map in front of you.
This large map hanging on the wall is a detailed map of the Eighar Corridor and its surrounding areas.
Su Cheng has seen this map thousands of times, but he still looks at it tirelessly and thinks about something.
After a while, Su Cheng said quietly to Willie behind him:
"Win this fortress offensive and defensive battle..."
"It is indeed not difficult to win this fortress offensive and defensive battle steadily, but my goal is not just to defend the Avalon Fortress."
After saying that, without waiting for Willie to respond, Su Cheng quickly sat back behind the long table in the command room.
"Willie, please contact me with the General Administration of Northland and tell them-Su Cheng wants to meet with Mr. Humphrey alone to discuss the important matters about how to defeat the Sheeran army, and ask Mr. Humphrey to come to Avalon Fortress quickly."
"Let Mr. Humphrey come to the North?" Willie said in surprise.
"Yes, that's right." Su Cheng said in an unquestionable tone, "Go and contact the Northbound Administration."
"yes!"
After saluting Su Cheng, Willie quickly left the command room and began to contact the Northbound Administration.
After Willie left the command room, Su Cheng took a piece of paper placed on the long table.
Take the pen.
