Chapter 841: Launching a Full-Scale "Aurora" Offensive (Part 1)
April 5, 293 of the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
The east was filled with morning glow, and rows of golden clouds seemed to be waiting for the sun, just like ministers waiting for the king.
The sun did not let the rows of clouds wait for long, and beams of sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds one after another, and the sky began to gradually take on the color of sunrise.
These beams of sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds sprinkled on the northern land where there was no snow.
It was already April, and there was no snow on the ground.
The muddy ground wetted by the snow water was now completely dry.
The date agreed by the Britannia Empire and the grassland people in the Far East to send troops was April 15, 293 of the Imperial Calendar.
It was already April 5, and there were only 10 days left before the launch of the "Aurora" offensive.
Su Cheng had issued a general mobilization order to the entire army a few days ago.
The issuance of the general mobilization order made the Avalon Fortress and the Muhavitz Fortress unusually busy in the past few days.
Everyone was doing their own work, preparing for the upcoming large-scale offensive.
Su Cheng and others didn't know that as early as yesterday, April 4, the grassland people in the Far East had launched a full-scale attack on the Holy Xilan Empire.
Although they agreed to send troops on April 15, the grassland people did not abide by this agreement and launched a full-scale attack on the Holy Xilan Empire as early as April 4.
Because the distance between them was very far, Su Cheng, who was far away in the north, did not receive the news that the grassland people had sent troops early.
The reason why the grassland people sent troops early was mainly because they all knew that there was no need to follow the agreed date of sending troops at the beginning.
The distance between them and the Britannia Empire was too far, so there was no way to coordinate the attack, and they could only fight on their own.
No matter which side encountered difficulties, the other side had no way to rescue.
Since they were fighting each other, why did they have to send troops at the same time?
Therefore, "send troops at the same time on April 15th to attack the Holy Xilan Empire" - to put it bluntly, this agreement is a slogan with far more symbolic significance than practical significance. Whether to abide by it or not is irrelevant.
Su Cheng and his people are also aware of this, so even if they know that the grassland people sent troops early, they will not think there will be any problems.
The grassland people can send troops whenever they want and fight however they want, as long as they don't lose - this is the voice of Su Cheng and others.
At the beginning of 291, the grassland people suffered a great defeat at the hands of Dominic.
The grassland people have always been resentful of this great defeat in 291.
In recent years, while the grassland people have been recovering, they have also been looking for opportunities to retaliate.
When the Britannia Empire invited them to attack the Holy Xilan Empire together in the spring of this year, the grassland people were all excited.
They have been waiting for this opportunity to retaliate against the Holy Xilan Empire for too long.
Seeing that the snow had melted, the grassland people, who could not bear it for another day, could not wait to raise 200,000 troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Far East Front of the Holy Xilan Empire.
Dominic has been seriously ill since the end of the "Iron Hammer" operation, and has not recovered until now, so the current commander-in-chief of the Far East Front has been replaced by another person.
The new commander-in-chief of the Far East Front is more than one level worse than Dominic in terms of ability.
The "Iron Hammer" operation, which ended in a disastrous defeat, was composed of 200,000 troops from the Southwest Front and 100,000 troops from the Far East Front.
The 100,000 troops of the Far East Front,
now have been reduced to ashes, either killed in battle or pulled to do hard labor, so the Far East Front, which is now missing 100,000 troops, is far less powerful than before.
The new commander, who is not as capable as the previous one, coupled with a greatly reduced combat effectiveness of the troops, is doomed.
Facing the aggressive grassland people, the Far East Front can only barely parry and has no power to fight back.
After the grassland people had begun to make a big fuss in the far east of the Holy Xilan Empire, the Britannia Empire also began to prepare to make a big fuss in the west of the Holy Xilan Empire...

Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress Suburbs, Delan Undead Town.
"Dalena, there is a letter for you."
Yara said as she handed the letter in her hand to Dalena.
"My letter?" Dalena took the letter with a puzzled look on her face.
"It seems to be sent from your hometown."
"Oh." Dalena said "Oh" lightly, "It should be sent to me by my parents, thank you for helping me get it."
"You're welcome. By the way, have you packed?"
"Yes, I've packed it!"
Dalena patted the bed next to her that was covered with thick cloth.
"I can leave at any time!"
The Delan Undead Team has received Su Cheng's general mobilization order.
Tomorrow, they will officially set off to leave Delan Undead Town and rush to Avalon Fortress to join other troops.
Because they were leaving for Avalon Fortress tomorrow, their superiors gave them a day off. Darlene and the others didn't have to train today, so they just had to rest and pack their luggage and equipment.
After receiving the letter from her hometown, Darlene quickly opened it to see what her parents said in the letter.
Since Darlene joined the army, Darlene's parents occasionally send letters to Darlene like they do now.
Because Darlene's parents were both illiterate, the letters her parents wrote to her were all ghostwritten.
This letter, like the previous one, was mainly about caring about Darlene and asking how Darlene was doing recently, whether she was eating well and sleeping well.
Although they were all very ordinary and common concerns, after reading the whole article, Darlene could still feel her body warm.
From reading between the lines, Darlene could feel her parents' concern for her.
Darlene looked at the time and realized it was still early, so she planned to write a reply to her parents while she was free.
Darlene now knows how to read and write, so she doesn't need anyone to write for her.
【Dear father and mother】
Darlene began to solemnly write about her recent life on the letter paper that had been laid out.
From the latest meals to the latest training.
I wrote several large pieces of letter paper eloquently.
The reason why she writes about her recent life in such detail is to make her parents feel at ease.
[Dad, Mom, please don’t worry. 】
【I'm having a good time recently. 】
After writing this, Darlene paused.
After a moment's hesitation, she briefly mentioned the battle she was about to take part in.
[After writing this letter, I am going to beat up those nasty Shilan people again. 】
[Only by defeating and hurting the Xilan people will they not dare to invade us again. 】
[I feel very proud to be able to participate in such a battle! 】
[Father, Mom, just watch, I will definitely win great achievements in this battle! 】
【Love you Darlene】
After writing the last word, Darlene put down the letter in her hand with satisfaction, put the letter paper in the envelope, and then hummed a cheerful tune while holding the envelope and walked slowly towards the delivery place.
