Chapter 678: Climbing the Peak and Breaking the Line (Part 2)

——Tawny short hair, bear-like body, holding an axe, skilled in cavalry warfare, and looking about 30 years old, it seems that this person should be Raymond Weir, the commander of the 1st Army of the Knights of Michael.

Gabriel thought to himself as he looked at the brown-haired man in front of him.

Although he was only a third-class military officer, Gabriel was still a military officer, so he was qualified to read the basic information of the generals of the Knights of Michael, and he had read it carefully.

After thinking this in his heart, Gabriel tightened the sword in his hand.

Gabriel's usual weapon was a specially customized sword.

The whole sword was as tall as a person, and the blade was as thick as a shield.

Gabriel had already determined that the strong man in front of him who had just blocked his attack was Raymond Weir, the commander of the 1st Army of the Knights of Michael.

Just now, Gabriel launched a surprise attack on Raymond, sneaked around to Raymond's left side, and then swung the sword in his hand to chop at Raymond.

But unexpectedly, Raymond's reaction was so fast that he retracted his axe in time to block his chop.

After just one fight, Gabriel concluded that Raymond was a master who could not be quickly resolved.

And it was very coincidental that after this fight, Raymond also concluded that Gabriel was not a master who could be quickly resolved.

It's just that Raymond didn't know Gabriel's name.

After blocking Gabriel's chop, Raymond and Gabriel fought in a group.

The two exchanged more than ten rounds of attack and defense, but they couldn't tell who was better.

Raymond was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight and ignored the situation.

When fighting with Gabriel, Raymond also paid attention to the surrounding situation.

Under the surprise attack of their Michael Knights, the camp of the Hiran Army's vanguard had been ravaged beyond recognition.

The total casualties of the Xilan army's vanguard troops are estimated to be nearly 10,000, while their casualties are estimated to be only about 100 people.

Up to now, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has begun to decline sharply.

The soldiers on horseback are fine, but the physical strength of the warhorses under their crotches has been almost exhausted.

In terms of explosive power, people are not as good as horses; in terms of endurance, horses are not as good as people.

Horses have never been animals with good endurance.

Even the one-in-a-million horse under Raymond's crotch could not withstand such intense consumption and began to pant violently.

The Xilan army gradually recovered from the sudden attack.

The generals of the Xilan army began to command and organize the soldiers to attack them.

Therefore, Raymond judged that it was time to retreat.

Although he could not beat Gabriel in a short time, if Raymond wanted to leave, Gabriel could not stop him.

After launching a powerful blow at Gabriel and pulling Gabriel away from him, Raymond turned his horse and left, preparing to organize the soldiers to retreat.

Gabriel wanted to catch up with Raymond, but unfortunately his horse was not strong enough and could not catch up with Raymond at all.

He could only watch Raymond leave the battle situation,

and command the soldiers of the Knights of Michael to retreat in an orderly manner and prepare to retreat to the Avalon Fortress.

…

…

Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress, Michael Knights Headquarters, Command Room.

Su Cheng has now changed into his armor that Alyssa brought from home just now, and put on his knight sword.

Su Cheng will wait in the command room until Raymond returns after the surprise attack.

It is already early morning, and he has been rushing to the fortress before. After a long journey, fatigue has wrapped around Su Cheng like a wet towel.

Su Cheng feels that his eyelids are getting heavier and his consciousness is getting more and more hazy.

Helplessly, he could only sit on the chair, leaning on his knight sword, resting his head on the hilt, and began to doze off.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Cheng suddenly felt as if some hot and humid air was spraying on his face.

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw a familiar face close to him.

It was Alyssa.

The hot and humid air that just sprayed on Su Cheng's face was Alyssa's breath.

"...... Alyssa?"

"Wow! Sorry! Did I wake you up?"

--You really woke me up.

Although it was indeed Alyssa's breath that sprayed on him and woke Su Cheng up, Su Cheng naturally would not tell the truth that might make Alyssa feel guilty.

"No." Su Cheng smiled, "I woke up naturally. I was so embarrassed that I fell asleep in the command room."

"Why were you so close to me just now? I was shocked when I opened my eyes and saw your face so close to me."

"There's no special reason... I just passed by the command room and saw you dozing off inside. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to take a serious look at your face..."

After listening to Alyssa's words, Su Cheng felt his chest warm.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. It's been almost five months since I left for DìDū in November last year."

After saying that, Su Cheng threw the sword in his hand aside, pulled Alyssa over, pulled Alyssa into his arms, and let Alyssa sit on his legs.

Su Cheng's bold move scared Alyssa.

"Wait, wait a minute! The door of the command room is not closed yet! Many people will pass by the command room!"

Su Cheng ignored Alyssa.

After pulling Alyssa into his arms and letting Alyssa sit on his legs, Su Cheng buried his face between Alyssa's left shoulder and collarbone and hugged Alyssa tightly.

Unfortunately, the armor on Alyssa's body was really a hindrance. It was very difficult to hug Alyssa wearing armor.

"I miss you guys very much."

After saying that, Su Cheng raised his head, aimed at Alyssa's red lips, and then leaned his face over...

When Su Cheng just kissed Alyssa, Willy, with a happy face, broke into the command room.

"Captain! Good news... Uh!"

After seeing Su Cheng and Alyssa being intimate, Willy stopped talking forcibly.

After seeing Willy coming in, Alyssa quickly jumped off Su Cheng's legs, tidying her hair and wiping the water stains on her lips with a red face.

"Sorry, Captain... How about I come back later?" Willy asked with embarrassment.

"No need." Although Willy saw him and Alyssa being intimate, Su Cheng looked normal. He wiped the water stains on his lips with the back of his hand and continued, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Is Raymond back?"

"Yes! Raymond is back!"

"Captain! It's a great victory! Raymond's surprise attack was successful!"

"According to Raymond's report, the vanguard of the Xilan Army suffered a heavy blow! Nearly 10,000 enemies were killed! And the total casualties of the surprise attack troops were only 198 people!"

After listening to Willy's words, Su Cheng did not show too intense a reaction.

He just smiled with relief:

"Raymond, well done."
