Chapter 670: The Battle for the Northern Border Begins!

April 18, 292 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, northern border, Avalon Fortress, somewhere outside the fortress.

The weather has gradually gotten warmer, and in a small basin outside the Avalon Fortress, the original thick snow has almost completely melted.

A patrol team from the Michael Knights is currently on guard duty in this small basin.

After receiving the news of the changes in the Holy Hiran Empire, Willy immediately ordered the strengthening of patrols outside the Great Wall.

Originally, the Michael Knights would send many patrols outside the Great Wall every day to patrol the areas controlled by their Britannia Empire to monitor the movements of the Holy Hiran Empire in the north.

After Willie ordered to strengthen patrols, the number of people patrolling outside the Great Wall every day has increased nearly five times.

The leader of this patrol, a middle-aged man with a big scar on his face, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead:

"The weather is getting hotter now..."

There are a total of 15 people in this patrol team, including the Scarface captain.

As soon as Captain Scarface finished speaking, the other 14 team members immediately echoed.

It is now mid-April, and the weather has begun to get noticeably warmer. The thick snow on the ground has almost completely melted away at this time.

Chatting casually together is their only pastime when the patrol team performs boring patrol tasks.

Soldiers who can serve as scouts and patrols are not ordinary soldiers.

Scouts must often go deep into the enemy's territory, must know the direction, and must know how to analyze and judge the enemy's current situation. Therefore, they have extremely high requirements on personal quality. They are generally composed of the most elite soldiers in the army. These people are equipped with the best equipment in the army. With his war horses and weapons, his personal combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

The same goes for the patrol team. The patrol team needs to patrol outside the military stronghold or military camp. Once there is any special discovery, it must go back and report it immediately. This kind of important and difficult task cannot be done by ordinary soldiers.

The leader of this patrol is also an experienced veteran of many battles.

Although he was chatting with his teammates, he still maintained a high level of alertness due to his excellent hearing, listening carefully to what was going on around him.

At this moment, Captain Scarface, who heard some strange noises, opened his eyes suddenly and immediately stood up from the ground: "There is movement in the distance to the north!"

Those who can participate in patrol missions are all elites in the military.

As soon as the captain finished speaking, all the soldiers reacted quickly.

A soldier with excellent eyesight who was responsible for lookout in this patrol immediately climbed to a high ground and looked towards the north.

The soldier who had climbed to the high ground had just turned his gaze to the north when his expression changed instantly.

"team leader!"

The soldier immediately climbed down from the high ground and

Report from Captain Scarface:

"It's the army of the Holy Hiran Empire!"

"Hilan's Army?!" Captain Scarface asked in a deep voice, "How many troops are there?"

"Countless! As dense as a colony of ants! The team is so long that there is no end in sight!"

"What?!"

Captain Scarface's throat twitched involuntarily, and he took a deep breath.

…

…

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress.

"What?!" Willy exclaimed to the messenger in front of him, "The large-scale Hiran army left the Mukhervits Fortress and headed towards us?!"

"Yes! Countless Xilan troops left the Muhawicz Fortress, passed through the Eghar Corridor, and headed towards us!"

"How far is the Xilan Army's forward from the fortress now?!" Willy asked.

"Almost 40 miles left!"

"What's their marching speed?!"

…

Willie pressed for every piece of important information.

After interrogating every important piece of information, Willy's face became more gloomy and he murmured in a low voice:

"It's really too bad... The most serious situation that we imagined actually happened... Damn it, the timing of their invasion must have been too good... The leader hasn't come back yet..."

Although Willy was upset, he did not lose his sense of proportion and reason.

In the current situation where Su Cheng has not returned yet, he, as the deputy commander, can only rely on him to stop the invading Xilan army and defend the Avalon Fortress.

Willy, who quickly adjusted his state and mentality, immediately ordered the messenger:

"Go and call Raymond and Samuel!"

…

…

Hiran's army moved south on a large scale - the news spread throughout the Avalon Fortress very quickly.

After learning about the news that Xilan's army was moving south, Willie immediately ordered the fortress to be put into combat readiness.

At the same time, he also ordered Dale and Gary, who were left behind at Base 1 and Base 2, to immediately lead the 3rd and 4th armies to support the Avalon Fortress.

After learning that the Holy Hiran Empire had launched another invasion against them, some civilians living in the Avalon Fortress planned to evacuate the fortress for fear of military disaster.

Willy did not stop these civilians who wanted to temporarily leave the fortress for refuge. Instead, he allocated some manpower to assist these civilians in leaving the Avalon Fortress and assisting these civilians in evacuating to other cities south of the fortress for refuge.

…

…

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng's home.

Unlike the Avalon Fortress, which has started to be noisy, Su Cheng's home is still as calm and peaceful as usual.

Su Cheng has not returned to the fortress yet.

Alyssa received an urgent call from Willy just now, and should be at the headquarters of the Knights of Michael.

So in such a big house, only Kairol and Alan are left.

"Kairol! Are you really not going to seek refuge in other cities?"

Alan looked at Kairol anxiously.

"I heard that the scale of the invasion of the Holy Hilan Empire this time is unusual. It is very dangerous to stay in the Avalon Fortress now! Even Mr. Willy and others are encouraging the people to temporarily evacuate the fortress for refuge!"

Although he had learned that the Holy Hilan Empire had launched a large-scale attack on them, Kairol still did not change his face.

He was still sitting on the sofa very calmly, knitting something.

After listening to Alan's words, Kailor smiled and cast a reproachful look at Alan:

"Alan, what are you talking about?"

"I am the wife of Su Cheng, the leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the northern front."

"As the wife of the leader, how can I hide in the rear like an ordinary civilian?"

"And - Alan, you don't have to be so nervous."

"Your brother is very strong."

"When Cheng comes back, no matter how many people invade us, he will definitely beat the invading enemy back."

...

...

April 18, 292 of the Britannia Empire.

On this day, the vanguard of the 300,000 combat troops of the Hiran Army drove out of the Muhavitz Fortress and headed towards the Avalon Fortress.

As the Hiran Army's vanguard troops marched towards the Avalon Fortress, the epic battle between the two countries - [Northern Border Offensive and Defense] - officially kicked off!
