Chapter 671: The Invasion of a Superpower

It only took less than half a day for the news of the invasion of the "superpower" Holy Hiran Empire to reach the northern capital of Baidi City and the Northern Territory General Administration.

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Baidi City, Northern Territory General Administration.

"W-what?!"

"Hilan's army invaded!"

"Already approaching Avalon Fortress?!"

…

After hearing the news, the senior officials in the Northern Territory General Administration marveled and pondered.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Humphrey's forehead.

Arlin, who was standing next to Humphrey and was Humphrey's right-hand man, also looked very ugly at this time.

"Your Majesty the Governor, this is the worst possible situation..." Arlin said solemnly to Humphrey.

"Well...yeah." Humphrey responded in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that 'superpower' would really stretch out its fangs to us again...and at this most critical moment, Captain Cheng He hasn't come back yet... Now I just hope that Deputy Commander Willy can stop the Xilan army."

Although the news of Sheeran's army's southern invasion again was shocking and frightening, Humphrey, who had reached the high position of Governor of the North by virtue of his own talents, was not a mediocre person who was slow to react.

"Don't be in a daze! Get moving!"

Humphrey ordered loudly to the senior officials in front of him:

"Mobilize all available means of transportation! Prepare to mobilize sufficient baggage to support Avalon Fortress!"

"We must not let Hiran's army attack Avalon Fortress!"

"Avalon Fortress is gone! Then the entire Northern Territory is gone!"

…

…

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Base No. 1.

Boom——! Boom——! Boom——!

The rapid ringing of the bell resounded throughout Base 1.

After hearing the bell, the officers and soldiers of the 4th Army stationed at Base No. 1 immediately took action.

Although she didn't know what happened, Darlene, who had just taken off her armor and was about to take a nap, immediately jumped out of bed like a conditioned reflex after hearing this series of rapid bells, and quickly put on her armor. , and ran towards the outside of the tent.

Yara followed Darlene closely and asked Darlene:

"Darlene! What happened?! Why did the bell suddenly ring?!"

"What do I know!" Darlene replied angrily, "Don't worry about so much now! Go gather quickly!"

This bell is a rallying cry.

Once the bell rings, all soldiers in the base, no matter what they are doing at this time,

Everyone has to put down the collection of things at hand immediately.

It only took Darlene less than a minute from hearing the bell to arriving at the meeting point.

After arriving at the assembly area, Darlene met Lindsay, the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Group of the 4th Army.

Judging from Lindsay's current appearance, Darlene guessed that Lindsay might not know why she suddenly issued an emergency call.

Although it was unclear what the reason for the sudden ringing of the bell was, all the soldiers arrived at the assembly area obediently, stood upright, and waited for the next order to be issued.

…

…

at the same time--

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Base 2.

"There is no need to wait for all the brigade to assemble! Whichever brigade is assembled will start first!"

"Anyway, this is the territory of our Britannia Empire! It doesn't matter even if the team is stretched! No foreign enemies will attack us!"

Gary, who was responsible for leading the 3rd Army to garrison at Base 2, issued orders one after another, directing the troops of the 3rd Army to leave Base 2 and support the Avalon Fortress.

The brigades were assembled one after another, and then the brigades left Base 2 and headed for Avalon Fortress, preparing to support the upcoming offensive and defensive battle.

Gary, who was always smiling and always had a warm smile on his face, now had a very rare look of seriousness.

Because——Gary is also a knight with rich combat experience.

Gary also participated in the "288 North Defense Operation" four years ago, so he had a deep understanding of how powerful the Sheeran Army was.

Therefore, facing such a severe situation, Gary, who did not dare to relax, began to go all out and orderly command the soldiers of the 3rd Army to go north to support the Avalon Fortress.

…

…

When Gary, Dale and the others led the 3rd and 4th armies north to support, an emergency military meeting was also taking place at Avalon Fortress.

All the knights who stayed in the fortress, including Alyssa and Deng Jiaer, participated in the emergency military meeting convened by Willy.

On one wall in the conference room, a large and detailed map hung.

The knights attending the meeting all wore helmets and armor and hung their knight swords. They sat in front of the big map and looked at the big map in front of them solemnly.

This large map is a map of the Eghar Corridor.

The locations of the two fortresses, Avalon Fortress and Muhawicz Fortress, where there are rivers and where there are highlands... are clearly marked on this large map.

Willy, who also put on his armor and knight's sword, stood in front of the big map and said solemnly to the knights in front of him:

"This morning, the Holy Hiran Empire officially tore up the armistice agreement between the two countries and launched an invasion against our Britannia Empire."

"Don't worry about their reasons for declaring war. It doesn't matter whether you know this kind of thing anyway."

"They claim to have 800,000 soldiers, but this number is obviously exaggerated by them."

"According to intelligence and scouts' observations, the combat force of the Hiran army is only 300,000 at most."

"But even if the combat force is only 300,000, this force is also amazing."

"After all, the total force of our Michael Knights is only 120,000."

"Even if we have the geographical advantage of Avalon Fortress, we cannot underestimate the enemy."

"Because, the commander of the Hiran army that is invading this time is Dominic!"

After hearing the name Dominic, many knights present swallowed their saliva out of nervousness.

Dominic, the first marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire - his name is known to everyone in the whole continent.

It is not enough to describe him as experienced, because Dominic, who has decades of military experience, has definitely participated in more than a hundred battles in his life.

In the "288 North Defense Operation" that dealt a heavy blow to the Knights of Michael four years ago, the commander of the Hilan Army was Dominic.

Many of the knights present had experienced the "288 North Defense Operation" four years ago, so they had a deep understanding of how strong the Hilan Army commanded by Dominic was.

"The current situation is very serious."

Willy continued to speak in a deep voice to the knights in front of him.

"The captain hasn't come back yet."

"That is to say - now we can only rely on ourselves to find a way to defend the Avalon Fortress!"

"No matter what, we have to delay until the captain comes back!"
