Chapter 750: El Turns the Tide (V)

When Vasili was crying in Ariel's palace——

Eghar Corridor, Hiran Army Camp.

Dominic didn't know that the army had been out of food a few days ago.

Don't want to know either.

He only knew that the army was completely out of food at this time.

Although there are still many consumables for fighting such as arrows and stones, all the consumables necessary for the survival of men and horses such as food and fodder have been consumed.

Three days ago, the entire army had completely stopped its offensive against the Muhawicz Fortress.

Because everyone was too hungry to take up arms.

Not only the offensive against the Mukhervits Fortress was stopped, but all training activities were also stopped.

If you're so hungry that you can't even hold a weapon, why train?

The camp has been as quiet as death these days.

It was almost impossible to hear anyone talking.

Everyone looked lifeless, maybe because they had no energy, or maybe because they were out of mood. No one spoke anymore, making the whole camp feel like an empty camp.

Everyone was nesting in their respective camps, silent, fighting against hunger.

Dominic was the only one in the handsome tent.

Dominic sat behind the long table with his hand on his forehead and his elbow on the table. Even now, Dominic still has a look of regret on his face.

Compared to the hunger in his belly, the feeling of shame and regret in his chest made Dominic feel more uncomfortable.

Nothing can make a general feel more regretful and ashamed than suffering a huge defeat and causing his country to suffer a major trauma that can shake the country's foundation.

Ever since the Knights of Michael captured the Mhavevitz Fortress and besieged his 300,000 troops in the Eghar Corridor, Dominic has not felt regretful every day.

Dominic had already realized this after learning that the Mhavevitz Fortress had been captured by the Michael Knights and his retreat was blocked.

Realizing that this "Iron Hammer War" of their Holy Hiran Empire might be defeated.

And it's not an ordinary defeat, but a tragic defeat that can shake the foundation of the country!

The retreat route of 300,000 combat troops is besieged in the Eghar Corridor. As long as the army's supplies are exhausted, the Michael Knights can easily destroy these 300,000 troops!

300,000 troops... If the Michael Knights really succeed in wiping out all 300,000 troops in the Eghar Corridor, the Holy Hiran Empire will directly lose nearly one-third of its combat power.

At the same time, we will also lose a number of outstanding generals and quartermasters, including Dominic.

In one breath, one-third of the army and a large number of outstanding generals and quartermasters were lost, and the most important frontline fortress in the defense of the Britannia Empire-Muhawicz Fortress was lost.

This will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the Holy Hiran Empire!

But this is not what Dominic fears most.

What Dominic fears most now is that Su Cheng will pursue the victory!

Although he only fought against Su Cheng once, this only confrontation allowed Dominic to see what a terrible person Su Cheng was.

Such a terrifying person would not fail to see that after annihilating all 300,000 Xilan troops here, the Holy Xilan Empire will fall into an unprecedented period of weakness, and the southwest defense line against the Britannia Empire will be extremely fragile. .

Dominic is now afraid that after wiping out all 300,000 troops under his command, Su Cheng will directly ask for orders from the Central Committee of the Britannia Empire! He requested the central government to seize this unprecedented opportunity and allow him to lead the Michael Knights to send troops northward, invade the territory of the Holy Hiran Empire, and drive the Holy Hiran Empire deeper into the abyss in one breath!

The 300,000 troops responsible for frontline operations this time are composed of 200,000 soldiers of the Southwest Front Army and 100,000 soldiers of the Far East Front Army.

All the generals of the Southwest Front are here in the Eghar Corridor.

In other words, when Su Cheng annihilated the 300,000 troops in the Eghar Corridor, it was the day when the entire Southwest Front Army of the Holy Hiran Empire was annihilated.

With the total annihilation of the Southwest Front and the fall of the Muhawicz Fortress, which was designed to guard against the Britannia Empire, the Holy Hiran Empire's southwest defense line will become as fragile as a piece of paper.

With a casual charge, the Michael Knights can rush out of the Eghar Corridor and invade the Holy Hiran Empire's homeland, giving the Holy Hiran Empire another heavy blow to its weakness.

Dominic can no longer imagine what kind of tragic situation his country will be in by then.

He now only expects that the ministers in the center of the Britannia Empire are a bunch of people without strategic vision, and they have not seen that after the 300,000-strong army is completely wiped out, it will be an excellent period to attack the Holy Hiran Empire, so Refuted Su Cheng's request to counterattack the Holy Hiran Empire.

Or hope that Su Cheng is a peace-loving person and has no intention of counterattacking the Holy Hiran Empire.

Of course, compared to the expectation that the ministers at the center of the Britannia Empire are all idiots without strategic vision, "Su Cheng is a peace-loving person" - this expectation is almost impossible to realize.

Judging from various previous signs, Dominic also saw that Su Cheng was not a pacifist.

Not only is he not a pacifist, but his attitude toward war seems to be slightly more positive.

After all, if Su Cheng was truly peace-loving, he would not have planned a ruthless battle across the sea to capture the Muhawicz Fortress and beat Xilan's army to death.

In addition to worrying that Su Cheng would take advantage of the weakness of the Holy Hiran Empire to launch a major counterattack, Dominic is now also very worried about the safety of his three students-El, Gabriel, and Camille.

Camille has been staying in the Muhavitz Fortress. Now the Muhavitz Fortress has been captured by the Knights of Michael, so it is unknown how she is now.

However, Camille has always been very smart. With her intelligence, it should not be difficult for her to survive in the fortress occupied by the enemy.

So compared to Camille, Dominic is more worried about El and Gabriel.

"I don't know how they are now..." Dominic, who was resting his forehead on the table and closing his eyes, couldn't help but let out a groan full of pain and annoyance when he was worried about the safety of El and Gabriel.

Now the battle plan of "attacking the Avalon Fortress from the south and the north with the surprise troops crossing the Aighar Mountains" has completely failed.

The frontline army was so hungry that they had no strength to attack the Avalon Fortress head-on. The 2,000 troops in El's hands could not do anything.

Therefore, even if El and Gabriel successfully led 2,000 people across the Aighar Mountains and came to the border of the Britannia Empire, it would be meaningless.

Dominic now only hoped that El could lead these 2,000 elite soldiers to successfully cross the Aighar Mountains, and immediately surrender to the Britannia Army after learning that the army was besieged.

Being a prisoner at least means being alive.

…

…

Dominic didn't know at this time that El and Gabriel were alive and well, and they had successfully crossed the Aighar Mountains and came to the border of the Britannia Empire.

After crossing the Aighar Mountains and learning that the army was besieged in the Aighar Corridor, El not only did not intend to surrender.

He also planned to use the less than 2,000 troops at his disposal to turn the tide and rescue the 300,000 troops from the Aghal Corridor.
