Chapter 764: Overlord Strikes Back
El and the others finally left.
El led his army of less than 2,000 people, as well as Dominic, Camille and others who were exchanged with Su Cheng, to leave the Muhavitz Fortress, and returned to their country in a panic through the north gate of the Muhavitz Fortress.
And Willy also stood on the north wall of the Muhavitz Fortress with the knights, watching El and the others leave.
When watching El and the others leave, Dale, who stood side by side with Samuel, asked Samuel:
"Who was the little girl they took away in the end? Is she also a senior general or senior quartermaster in the Xilan Army?"
The person Dale pointed to was naturally Camille, who was taken away by El and the others in the end.
"It shouldn't be." Samuel shook his head, "The Holy Xilan Empire does not allow women to join the army or participate in politics, so the girl is definitely not a senior general or quartermaster in the Xilan Army."
"Maybe it's that important relative of El."
At this point, Samuel suddenly paused.
After thinking for a while, he continued:
"But I just saw the girl's face by chance."
"The girl's face is also very good."
"She seems to be a person with a strong will and decisive actions."
As soon as Samuel finished speaking, Dale rolled his eyes at Samuel:
"Why do you always tell everyone that this person has a good face? When you saw that El just now, you said that he had a good face. Now you see this girl, you also say that she has a good face."
"Because their faces are indeed very good."
"What about me? How does my face look?"
"You? According to my inference, you have a poor face. You may never make money in your life."
"You guy!"
Samuel's words just hit the pain of Dale, who loves achievements and money the most.
So Dale threw a punch and hit Samuel's chest.
But because Samuel was wearing armor, Dale's punch did not cause any damage to Samuel.
With the departure of El and others, the counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire was finally completely over.
Therefore, Willy, who was standing on the Muhavitz Fortress and watching El and others leave, could not help but turn around with excitement and face the knights behind him after seeing El and others finally leave his sight.
He drew out his knight sword with a "swish" sound, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the sky.
He announced to the knights in the loudest voice possible:
"This counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire! It is the victory of our Britannia Empire! We won!!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
As soon as Willy finished speaking,
the knights led by Raymond burst into cheers.
Some knights drew their knight swords like Willy, and some knights raised their fists, cheering and celebrating this great victory.

Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress.
"Mr. Humphrey, you have suffered a lot these days. It has also been hard for all the colleagues in the Northern Territory General Administration."
Su Cheng said as he stretched out his hands to help Humphrey, who was standing in front of him. Perhaps because of the excessive pressure these days, his mental state was not very good.
After sending El and others away from Avalon Fortress, El also released Humphrey and others.
El did not wait until he left Muhavitz Fortress to release Humphrey, but immediately released Humphrey and others after leaving Avalon Fortress.
This can be regarded as his trust in Su Cheng, believing that Su Cheng would not betray and kill them immediately after taking back the hostages.
And Su Cheng did not live up to El's trust.
After taking back Humphrey and others, he also obediently kept his and El's promise, allowing El to leave safely.
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Humphrey also shook Su Cheng's hand with a guilty look on his face.
"Captain Cheng, I think the suffering we have endured is nothing."
"I am really sorry that this happened..."
"We became prisoners of the enemy, and the originally perfect victory had some flaws, and many senior generals and quartermasters including Dominic were let go..."
"No need to apologize, Mr. Humphrey." Su Cheng comforted Humphrey, "If you insist on saying who should be responsible for the "capture of Baidi City", it must be me."
"I am the leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the northern front."
"I am responsible for the entire northern front of the empire, blocking all the enemies from the north of the empire. Enemy."
"But I sent a troop across the Aighar Mountains and entered the heart of the North."
"I should be the one who feels guilty and blames myself for this, not you, Mr. Humphrey."
"I have been reflecting on myself these days. I was too careless when I was managing the entire northern front. I completely ignored the possibility that the Hiran army would cross the Aighar Mountains and directly enter the heart of the North."
"Mr. Humphrey. We must continue to work together and cooperate in the future."
"Together, we will build a large number of outposts and strongholds on the Aighar Mountains."
Under Su Cheng's modesty, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
At this moment, Mr. Humphrey suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in a volume that only he and Su Cheng could hear:
"Although Baidi City was captured and a large number of documents and archives were forced to be destroyed, the most important things were successfully saved."
"Captain Cheng, the joint letter you and I wrote together, and the battle plan for the "Aurora" offensive are still there. They have not been destroyed, and have not been obtained by that El."

Britannia Empire Imperial Calendar 292/Holy Hilan Empire Imperial Calendar 214.
December 18.
The Britannia Empire's counterattack against the invasion of the Holy Hilan Empire ended with the complete victory of the Britannia Empire!
The code name of this counterattack was later given an extremely loud name by Ilsa herself - "Overlord Counterattack".
The term "Overlord Counterattack" has also become one of the most resounding battle code names in the history of the Britannia Empire.
Whether it is the "Northern Great Turn" operation or the Blue Water Port attack battle, they are all operations in the huge battle of "Overlord Counterattack".
In this "Overlord Counterattack", the Knights of Michael and the Imperial Navy, with only a small number of casualties, successfully killed and captured 300,000 Hiran troops and destroyed half of the Holy Hiran Empire's naval forces.
These 300,000 Hiran troops were all regular troops of the Holy Hiran Empire, 200,000 soldiers of the Southwest Front plus 100,000 soldiers of the Far East Front.
The complete destruction of these 300,000 Hiran troops meant that the Holy Hiran Empire's land forces directly lost one-third of their military strength.
At the same time, the Knights of Michael also took away the Holy Hiran Empire's Mukhavets Fortress, a fortress that was vital to the Holy Hiran Empire.
Without it, the southwest of the Holy Hiran Empire was open to the outside world. Unless a lot of money and manpower were spent to build a new line of defense, the Knights of Michael would be able to easily break into the heart of the Holy Hiran Empire.
When this "Overlord Counterattack" ended with a complete victory for the Britannia Empire, a large-scale offensive, the "Aurora Offensive", aimed at driving the Holy Hiran Empire into a deeper abyss, was also quietly brewing in the Britannia Empire.
