Chapter 676: Climbing the Peak and Breaking the Line (Part 1)

Holy Hiran Empire, Eghar Corridor, Muhawicz Fortress.

Muhawicz Fortress—a fortress built by the Holy Hiran Empire in the northern part of the Eghar Corridor.

Together with the Avalon Fortress of the Britannia Empire, one north and one south block the north and south openings of the Eghar Corridor.

In this "Operation Hammer", Muhawicz Fortress played an important role as a "baggage transfer station".

All baggage shipped from various places must pass through the Mukhavec Fortress, and then be transported from the Mukhavec Fortress to the front line.

As a third-class quartermaster, El's main working place is at Muhawicz Fortress.

Responsible for registering and organizing all baggage delivered to the fortress.

Managing logistics is always a very hard and tedious job. After working late into the night, El could finally rest.

El dragged his tired body back to his room.

As soon as he returned to the room, El heard a familiar voice:

"Hey, El, have you finished your work today?"

This is Camille's voice.

El followed Camille's voice and looked over, only to see the delicate Camille sitting on his bed.

Looking at Camille sitting on his bed, El smiled bitterly:

"I just finished processing it, and now I can finally get some sleep and rest."

El said as he walked towards his bed.

"When it comes to wartime, being a quartermaster is simply not a job that anyone can do... It's precisely because it's very busy and tiring when wartime comes, that's why I hate war so much..."

After all, El just walked to his bed and lay down on the bed without any image.

After lying on the bed, El asked Camille:

"Camille, teacher, has he arrived at the fortress?"

"Not yet. Teacher, he is still accompanying the capital - Ariel. It will take a while before the teacher can lead the remaining troops to Muhawicz Fortress."

A full 300,000 combat troops - an army of this size was naturally divided into several groups, and rushed to the front line one after another.

So far, the 50,000-strong vanguard force has arrived at the front line and has begun to move towards the walls of Avalon Fortress.

The remaining troops will gradually arrive on the frontline battlefield.

"What a grand expedition..." El, who was lying on the bed, raised his hand and pressed his right forearm on his eyes, "Many famous generals in the country participated in this Hammer War... …The army is now full of stars.”

"The 50,000 vanguard troops are about to arrive at Avalon Fortress. The battle should start soon... I hope nothing happens to Gabriel..."

As a third-class military attaché, Gabriel was incorporated into the vanguard force and was currently a member of the 50,000-strong vanguard force. He was marching toward Avalon Fortress along with the soldiers of the vanguard force.

El's tone was full of concern.

Before being adopted by Dominic, El, Camille, and Gabriel had been wandering on the streets and living together.

The three of them once depended on each other, so one can imagine the depth of their relationship.

After hearing the concern in El's words,

Camille, who usually had a cold face, actually gave a rare smile:

"Don't worry, El. You also know how capable Gabriel is and how lucky he is. With Gabriel's bravery, it is not difficult to get out of trouble even among thousands of troops."

…

…

The night is as dark as ink.

In the vast Eghar corridor, the sounds of birdsong and beasts roaring occasionally came from the dark night, making people shiver unexpectedly.

"Ha~~~"

Gabriel yawned widely as he untangled himself in a patch of grass.

Gabriel, who forgot to go to the toilet before going to bed tonight, was woken up by peeing. In desperation, he had to sneak out of his tent and go to a piece of barren grass to relieve himself.

Although Gabriel's current position is only a third-class military attache, the lowest among military attaches, no matter how low the rank is, he is still a general.

Therefore, in the army, compared with other ordinary soldiers, Gabriel still has some benefits.

For example: Gabriel can have a separate tent.

After he was comfortably untied, Gabriel pulled up his pants and shuddered.

"Ugh... Even though it's April now, it's still very cold at night. Go back to bed."

"Really...why do I have to come to participate in this hammer battle and be included in the vanguard..."

"After this war is over, I might as well resign and just be an idler with nothing to do from now on and let him support me, or find a wife who is willing to support me, a useless wife who doesn't do any work."

Gabriel complained softly about his dissatisfaction with the hammer battle and walked towards his tent with his hands in his hands.

At this moment, Gabriel suddenly stopped.

His brows slowly furrowed, and he raised his head to look into the darkness in the distance.

Gabriel felt something strange.

He felt that the atmosphere in the air was different.

The sounds of birds chirping and beasts roaring seemed to have stopped in an instant.

The surroundings became so quiet...it seemed like even the night wind had stopped...

…

…

Somewhere outside the camp of the Xilan Army's vanguard force.

Raymond, who was wearing a helmet and an armor, was riding on his horse, holding his ax and gun, looking into the distance with an indifferent expression.

Looking at the camp of the Xilan Army's vanguard in the distance.

Because there are many patrols and sentries outside the Xilan Army's vanguard camp, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, Raymond deployed his cavalry far away from the Xilan Army's vanguard camp.

Because of the distance, Raymond could only see the lights of the Xilan Army's camp.

Raymond was waiting.

Waiting for the horses to recover their strength, waiting for his cavalry to reach their attack positions and prepare for battle.

After receiving Su Cheng's order to attack, Raymond immediately began to assemble 3,000 cavalry from his 1st Army.

After the cavalry was assembled, Raymond immediately led the 3,000 cavalry out of the border to the north, and rushed towards the Xilan Army's vanguard camp at a lightning speed.

It was already early in the morning, but Raymond was not sleepy at all.

Not only was he not sleepy at all, he was also very excited.

When he thought that the first attack of this great war between the two countries was launched by him, Raymond, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Your Excellency the Commander!"

At this moment, a cavalry captain rode his horse slowly to Raymond's side:

"All troops have arrived at their designated positions, and the horses' physical strength has been restored. They can launch an attack at any time."

As soon as the cavalry captain finished speaking, Raymond's half-open eyes suddenly opened, and his face was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"Very good!"

Raymond slowly raised his axe.

"All troops listen to my order--"

Raymond chopped the axe forward fiercely.

"Follow me!!"
