Chapter 1,227 Recapture of Muhavitz Fortress

Therefore, as Bazel said just now, the best choice at the moment is to send out the elite troops in their army and integrate them into a small but powerful force to fight against the enemy at Zulukou.

The armored holy cavalry and the holy armor soldiers are the best choices.

After hearing Walter's name, Bazel's face immediately showed ecstasy, and he nodded hurriedly:

"I will definitely defeat all the enemy troops blocking Zulukou! I will never let you down!"

"Yeah."

Walter nodded and cast an admiring look at Bazel.

However, at this moment, Walter seemed to suddenly remember something, and a little solemnity appeared on his face, and he began to ponder.

"General Jones."

After pondering for a while, Walter looked at Allen, who had been sitting in a corner of the big tent and had been silent.

"You have been in the Britannia Empire for a while, and you should know more about the Knights of Michael than we do."

"What should we pay attention to when we are against the Knights of Michael? General Jones, I want to hear your opinion."

As soon as Walter finished speaking, everyone in the tent focused their attention on Allen.

Walter did not like or think highly of Allen, who was born in a civilian family.

But Allen did have some talent and spent more than five years in the Britannia Empire.

Whether it was the battle of Lake Anga or the war to lift the blockade of Zulukou, Walter did not want to lose these two battles.

So, for the sake of caution, Walter decided to ask Allen and ask for his opinion on the Knights of Michael.

Allen raised his eyebrows because he was surprised.

Then he said in a calm tone:

"The Knights of Michael have been stationed in the North, so I have never had close contact with them before."

"So I can't say anything that can be called advice."

"If you insist on saying there is something worth noting..."

"Then you should pay attention to those soldiers wearing dark purple cloaks."

"Those soldiers wearing dark purple cloaks are real trouble."

"Dark purple cloaks...Are you referring to the Delan Undead Squad?" Walter asked back.

"That's right." Allen nodded. "The Delan Immortal Squad is the trump card of the Knights of Michael. Each member is an elite soldier selected from thousands of miles away."

"If you encounter a troop of all members wearing dark purple cloaks on the battlefield, please be careful."

"... I understand." After that, Walter turned his head and looked at Bazel, "Bazel, did you hear it?"

"Yeah." Bazel whispered while digging his ears, "I heard it, I will pay attention."

...

...

Including Allen who returned to the Frankish Empire, the four generals who participated in the Nibelungen Plan have now performed their duties.

Otto led the 200,000 troops of the Royal Fleet to fight a bloody battle with the joint fleet led by Su Cheng on the surface of Lake Anga.

Bazel led an elite force with a total force of 33,500 people to the east mouth of Lake Anga-Zrukou, to meet the Dengjiaer army that blocked the lake mouth.

Walter continued to stay in the Rhineland Plain, commanding the remaining troops to continue to encircle the remnants of Issel's army and continue to consume the supplies of the remnants of Issel's army.

Allen continued to assist Walter.

Of course - Allen's title of assisting Walter was naturally just a "nominal title".

Being excluded by Walter and others, he had no military power in the army, and there was no army under his command.

Walter did not assign Allen any tasks.

Allen only did two things in the army every day - reading and practicing martial arts.

...

...

Britannia Empire, Northern Front, Mukhavets Fortress, outside the Great Wall.

Nikita looked at the Mukhavets Fortress in the distance with a solemn expression.

Then he looked at the sky.

He sighed softly and whispered softly:

"Is it dark..."

The sun, which was about to sink below the horizon, announced that night was about to fall.

Nikita turned his head and said to a messenger beside him:

"Pass the order. Retreat."

"Yes."

After the messenger retreated, Nikita looked at the Mukhavets Fortress in the distance, which was being besieged by their Hiran army.

"It is worthy of the huge fortress built by our Holy Hiran Empire at a huge cost..." Nikita smiled bitterly, "This defense... is really not to be underestimated."

It was the first time that Nikita hated the fortress built by their country so much, and the first time he felt such a strong disgust for their country's city-building technology.

Two years ago, Nikita was defeated by Deng Jiaer and miraculously survived.

If it were to be dealt with according to military law, Nikita, who suffered such a great defeat, should be severely punished.

But their Emperor Vasili punished Nikita lightly.

The reason why Vasili did this was not because he was so kind.

It was purely because their Holy Hiran Empire had no generals available and wanted to keep as many available generals as possible.

The disastrous defeat of the "Iron Hammer" operation three years ago killed a large number of elite generals and elite quartermasters of the Holy Hilan Empire.

Although Dominic, the first marshal of the Holy Hilan Empire, survived this unprecedented disastrous defeat, he fell ill and has not recovered to this day.

Nikita thus became the strongest general of the Holy Hilan Empire.

If Nikita was demoted or killed, the Holy Hilan Empire would really have no one to use.

For the future of the empire, Vasili decided not to pursue Nikita's guilt for the defeat to the Britannian army, and dealt with Nikita lightly, allowing Nikita to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard.

Two years ago, Nikita was tasked with fighting the invading Britannian army.

Now, two years later, Nikita is once again tasked with attacking the Britannian army together with the Frank army.

Vasili only had one request for Nikita - to recapture the Mukhavets Fortress that they lost three years ago.

After experiencing the disastrous defeats three years ago and two years ago, Vasili's mind is now much clearer.

His current thinking has become more practical than before.

Vasili no longer hopes to break through the Avalon Fortress of the Britannian Empire and capture the northern border of the Britannian Empire.

As long as they can recapture their Mukhavets Fortress, Vasili will be satisfied.

However, how easy is it to recapture Mukhavets Fortress?

Mukhavets Fortress was originally a super fortress built by their Holy Hiran Empire at great expense.

After taking Mukhavets Fortress, the Britannia Empire strengthened it.

Although Nikita's troops were several times larger than the Senei defenders and launched a fierce attack on the fortress for several days, Mukhavets Fortress still showed no signs of falling.

For such a situation, Nikita could only sigh helplessly.

Siege warfare, especially siege warfare against a fortress as strong as Mukhavets Fortress, is extremely boring.

In the absence of any extraordinary strategies, there is no other way except to consume it bit by bit.
