Chapter 672: The Entire Michael Knights Assemble
Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress, somewhere in the south.
"Look! Look to our right! It's our Knight Michael's troops!"
The words of this soldier successfully attracted the attention of many soldiers, including Darlene.
They turned their heads and looked to their right.
They found that just as the soldier said, on their right, there was a troop wearing black armor like them, heading north with them, towards Avalon Fortress.
"Everyone is gathering at Avalon Fortress..." Yara, who was standing beside Darlene, murmured.
Although they were now marching towards Avalon Fortress at a rapid pace, because they had just rested, Darlene and Yara still had the physical strength to walk quickly and chat with the people around them.
These ordinary soldiers now knew what the current war situation was - the Holy Hilan Empire tore up the armistice agreement between the two countries and launched an attack on their Britannia Empire!
The reason why their No. 1 base suddenly rang the bell and issued an emergency call was to organize the army to go north and support the Avalon Fortress.
Looking at the troops on their right, Darlene murmured, "I wonder which troop is on the right?"
As soon as Darlene finished speaking, Yara took over:
"It is rumored that the entire Michael Knights have assembled this time, and 120,000 troops have gathered at Avalon Fortress to fight the invading Hiran Army, so this troop may be from the 3rd Army."
"The 3rd Army..." Darlene said, "I have been in the army for a year and a half, and I have never seen any troops other than our 4th Army."
"Everyone, work harder!"
At this moment, Lindsay, the captain of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army, suddenly shouted to them:
"We are almost at Avalon Fortress! In about 2 hours, we will be able to reach Avalon Fortress!"
After hearing Lindsay's words, the morale of the soldiers, including Darlene, was boosted, and they quickened their pace, wanting to reach Avalon Fortress as soon as possible.
…
…
The 4th Army, like the 3rd Army, in order to support Avalon Fortress as soon as possible, Dale ordered whichever battalion had completed its preparation to go first, without waiting for the 4th Army to be fully prepared before setting off together.
After the 17th Battalion where Darlene was assembled and completed its preparation, it immediately set out to the front battlefield.
Lindsay did not lie to Darlene and the others, their 17th Battalion of the 4th Army was indeed about to arrive at Avalon Fortress.
After about 2 hours, they arrived at the outskirts of Avalon Fortress.
When they arrived at the outskirts of Avalon Fortress,
many soldiers, including Darlene, exclaimed.
“Wow!” Darlene exclaimed, “What an amazing army!”
Under the southern wall of Avalon Fortress, a huge army as dense as an ant colony has now gathered.
These troops were all wearing the unique black armor of the Britannia Empire, carrying the flags of the Michael Knights and the military flags of the Britannia Empire, and marched into the Avalon Fortress in an orderly manner.
"This is the first time I have seen such a large army..." Yara murmured, "Are these all our Michael Knights? There are so many... I can't count them all..."
Looking at this large army, the morale of Darlene, Yara and many soldiers was boosted.
Originally, when they learned that the "superpower" had torn up the armistice agreement and launched an invasion against them again, many soldiers were a little scared and nervous.
But after seeing this large army gathered under the Avalon Fortress, this astonishing number of troops instantly gave them a lot of confidence.
Some soldiers were so excited that they shouted:
"Great! How could such a large-scale army lose to the Hiran people!"
"It is impossible to lose to the Hiran people!"
"Long live the Knights of Michael! Long live the Britannia Empire!"
"Long live--!"
...
...
Gary, the commander of the 3rd Army, and Dale, the commander of the 4th Army, arrived at the Avalon Fortress almost at the same time.
At this time, Willy, the deputy commander of the Knights of Michael, and four commanders gathered on the inner wall of the north wall of the Avalon Fortress.
Willy held the knight's sword at his waist with one hand and stroked the bricks on the inner wall with the other hand, and asked Gary and Dale standing behind him:
"How many troops of the 3rd Army and the 4th Army have not arrived at the Avalon Fortress yet?"
"There are still 8 battalions missing." Dale replied.
After Dale finished speaking, Gary immediately replied:
"The 3rd Army is still short of 9 battalions, and these 9 battalions will arrive at the fortress by tomorrow evening at the latest!"
After listening to Dale and Gary's reports, Willy nodded: "Okay, the fortress has now assembled 100,000 troops."
After that, Willy turned his head and said to Samuel:
"Samuel, how is the evacuation of civilians going?"
Willie handed the task of evacuating civilians to Samuel.
After hearing Willy's question, Samuel immediately said seriously:
"Those civilians who planned to take refuge have almost been evacuated. Only some civilians who are unwilling to leave the fortress are still in the fortress."
Speaking of this, Samuel paused for a moment, and then continued:
"I wanted to persuade the captain's wife, Miss Carroll, and the captain's sister, Miss Alan, to seek refuge together, but they both refused."
"The lady is very determined. No matter how I persuade her, she is unwilling to leave the Avalon Fortress. The lady is unwilling to leave."
"Miss Carroll is unwilling to leave the fortress to seek refuge?" Willy cast a surprised look at Samuel.
"Yes, that's right. The lady said that she was the wife of the leader of the Knights of Michael. She was the only one who helped the civilians to take refuge, not to follow them. She would stay at the front line with the leader and us until the end of the war."
At this point, Samuel seemed to remember something and continued:
"By the way, the lady just made some cakes and delivered them to us personally, saying that she would give them to all the knights of our Knights."
"The lady's original words were - to make a contribution to this battle to the best of her ability."
After listening to Samuel's words, Willy raised his eyebrows and said in an admiring tone:
"She is worthy of being the wife of the leader. This awareness is admirable."
After that, Willy turned around and moved his eyes to scan the faces of Raymond, Samuel, Gary, and Dale one by one.
"Even the lady has such awareness and determination! Then we can't lose to the lady!"
"You should all know what kind of fortress Avalon is, right?"
"Avalon Fortress is the northern gate of our empire! As long as we defend Avalon Fortress, we can stop the Xilan army from attacking the north of our country!"
"Once Avalon Fortress is lost, the Xilan army can march straight into the north and the empire!"
"From now on, it's the battle to defend the empire - the attack and defense of Avalon Fortress!"
"Defend Avalon Fortress at all costs!"
After saying that, Willy drew out his knight sword with a "swoosh", and then pointed it obliquely to the sky:
"Live and die with Avalon Fortress!"
After seeing Willy's gesture, the four commanders present also knew what Willy was going to do.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Raymond, Samuel, Gary, and Dale also drew out their knight swords, and then raised their knight swords.
The tips of their four swords collided with Willy's sword, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Then --
Raymond, Samuel, Gary, Dale: "We will live and die with Avalon Fortress!"
