Chapter 697: Ending the Offensive (Part 2)

Eghar Corridor, Xilan Army Camp, Wounded Treatment Department.

——Hmm...my hands hurt...ah, in addition to my arms, my chest also hurts...

The pain in his left arm and chest woke Gabriel up.

Gabriel slowly opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, Gabriel saw the unfamiliar white top of the camp.

And two extremely familiar faces.

"Gabriel! You finally woke up!" El, who was sitting on Gabriel's left, said excitedly, "You've been sleeping for a long time."

As soon as El finished speaking, Kamil, who was sitting on the right side of Gabriel, answered: "It seems that El and I are lucky. We just came from Muhawicz Fortress to visit you and you woke up." How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gabriel didn't immediately answer Camille's words.

Instead, he looked around with a blank expression.

Gabriel noticed that he was in a large tent.

There are dozens of simple beds laid directly on the ground in this big tent.

And he himself was lying on one of the beds in this big tent.

His chest and left arm were now covered in thick bandages.

On the other beds, there were also injured patients with various wounds lying on them.

"Am I..." Gabriel asked El in an uncertain tone, "Am I in the wounded barracks?"

"Yes." El nodded, "Have you forgotten? You fell from the city wall on the first day of the offensive and defensive battle."

"Fortunately, there is already a thick layer of corpses underneath, and your physical fitness is amazing, so it's nothing serious. It's just a broken left arm and four ribs."

"After you passed out from the city wall, you were dragged back by the soldiers and received treatment in the rear."

"Camille and I only found out about your injury and coma three days ago."

"After I learned that you were injured, I took leave and came to the front line with Camille to visit you."

"Camille and I just came to your bed, and you finally woke up from your coma. I have to say, this is really a coincidence."

After listening to El's words, memories flooded into Gabriel's mind.

The scene before coma flashed through Gabriel's mind.

Gabriel remembered how he rushed to the city wall on the first day of the offensive and defensive battle.

I remembered that I had just climbed onto the city wall and before I could kill any enemy, I ran into Samuel, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Knights of Michael.

Then lost to Samuel,

Samuel knocked down the city wall...

After recalling the scene before coma, Gabriel raised his right hand and pressed his forehead.

"On the first day of the war, I was knocked off the city wall and injured without even killing a single enemy. What the hell...how could I be so inferior...I'm really unwilling."

"That's pretty good, isn't it?" El smiled, "Judging from your current injury, there is no hope of recovery if you don't rest for a few months. In the next few months, you don't need to go to the front line. Now, isn’t that great?”

"You put it that way...it doesn't feel bad."

"Hey, don't ignore me."

As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Camille cast a dissatisfied look at Gabriel.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Huh? What's the answer to your question?"

"Have you forgotten?! Didn't I just ask you, 'How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere'? But you didn't even answer me! You just talked to El."

Gabrielle recalled.

He found that this was indeed the case. Camille had indeed asked him this question just now, but at that time he was only focused on observing his surroundings and talking to El, so he forgot to answer Camille's question.

"It feels pretty good." Gabriel shook his bandaged left hand. "Except for the slight pain in my left arm and chest, I don't have any discomfort. If there is any discomfort, it's probably because I'm a little bit a little bit sore right now. Be hungry."

"Yeah, that's good."

Seeing Camille's "relieved" expression, Gabriel smiled evilly and teased Camille:

"What? Camille, you care about me so much? You even took the initiative to ask me how I am."

As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Camille sneered, and then said without mercy:

"You're overthinking it. I'm just asking as a friend."

But——El on the side began to dismantle her.

"Actually." El smiled at Gabriel, "After learning that you were injured and comatose three days ago, Camille, who was the first to learn the news, was the most nervous."

"After hearing the news, Camille's entire face turned pale."

"You've been urging me to take a leave of absence from the logistics unit, temporarily put down my job as a quartermaster, and come to the front line to see you."

"Ho~~" After listening to El's words, Gabriel turned his head and cast a meaningful look at Camille.

Camille's cheeks turned red with shame when El revealed her secret.

"El...has anyone ever told you that being too honest is not a good thing?"

The reason why El wanted to expose Camille just now was actually on purpose.

They always make trouble for each other, but they can always grasp the scale and never get angry at each other's troubles and jokes - this is also one of the proofs of the close relationship between the three of them.

"El, you just said that you only knew about my injury three days ago." Gabriel asked El, "How many days have I been unconscious now? How many days has the attack on Avalon Fortress lasted? How is the battle going? Have you captured Avalon Fortress or caused serious casualties to the Knights of Michael?"

After listening to Gabriel's questions, El and Camille fell silent at the same time.

After a long silence, El was the first to speak:

"You were unconscious for quite a long time. Since the official launch of the offensive against Avalon Fortress, today is the 12th day of the battle for Avalon Fortress. "

"The 12th day?!" Gabriel exclaimed, "So many days have passed... What about the battle situation? How is the battle going?"

"The battle situation... is not ideal."

"Not ideal? Could it be... that they failed to capture Avalon Fortress or cause serious damage to the Knights of Michael?"

"They neither captured Avalon Fortress nor caused serious damage to the Knights of Michael." El explained the battle situation directly, "All the previous days of fighting did not make the battle situation show any slight improvement. There was no progress, just a meaningless consumption of energy with the Knights of Michael. "

"The casualties were too heavy, the battle situation was not progressing, and the morale of the troops was getting worse and worse."

"The teacher noticed that if he continued to fight like this, he would only be a meaningless consumption with the Knights of Michael. Four days ago, on the eighth day after the offensive began, he completely stopped the offensive. "

"We are neither attacking nor retreating now. We are just blocking outside the Avalon Fortress and staring at the Knights of Michael in the Avalon Fortress."
