293rd year of the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire/215th year of the Imperial Calendar of the Holy Hillan Empire.

April 19.

Holy Sheeran Empire, Chupol Fortress.

Today is a cloudy day.

The pale yellow sun slowly rose from behind the mountains, and struggled to penetrate the faint dawn through the haze, and threw weakly into the suburbs of Chupol Fortress.

Although it did not change the drowsy sky at all, it barely illuminated a wriggling black on the field.

On the vast and open green fields, the black Britannian military formation was like a heavy sky with heavy rain.

The dense spears like pine forests stabbed straight into the sky, and the armor, shields and weapons shone with a cold light in the faint sunlight.

A large flag with different colors was whistling in the morning breeze. Among the continuous military formations, there were stone casters, giant crossbows of siege, and siege towers stacked in layers, surging in the sky.

Marshal Veselov stood on the wall of Chupol Fortress with a gloomy face, looking at the Britannian army that surrounded Chupol Fortress with a distant appearance.

Just four days ago, a huge black torrent rushed out of the Muhavits Fortress and rushed into the homeland of the Holy Hillan Empire in one fell swoop, pointing directly at the Chubol Fortress.

The "Aurora" offensive that the Britannian Empire had been preparing for for a long time was finally launched in full swing.

Although Marshal Veselov had guessed that there would be such a day since the "Harm" defeat, after learning from the scouts that the Britannian army launched a large-scale attack on the empire, Marshal Veselov's body could not help but tremble slightly due to fear and anger.

Since learning that the Britannian army had launched a large-scale invasion, Marshal Veselov sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the Britannian army's intelligence, he actively prepared for the battle.

According to the information sent back by the scouts, the Britannian Empire's attack this time is quite large, with the size of the troops ranging from 120,000 to 180,000.

The Britannian Army's vanguard troops had about 60,000, which were a complete army composed of cavalry, archers and infantry.

As soon as the vanguard troops left the Muhavic Fortress, they rushed towards the Chupol Fortress without stopping.

The Muhavits Fortress was not far from Chubol Fortress. The Britannian army's vanguard troops only took three days to approach Chubol Fortress.

In other words, it was April 18 that the Britannian army arrived at the city of Chupol Fortress - which happened yesterday.

Since the Britannian army arrived at the city of Chupol Fortress yesterday, it has not rushed to attack, but has been preparing for the siege and is also waiting for the arrival of subsequent troops.

The Britannian army did not rush to attack the Chupol Fortress, and Marshal Veselov did not take the initiative to go out of the city to face the Britannian army that came from afar.

Marshal Veselov is a very steady man. Compared to his adventurous style of play, he prefers the safe tactics.

He defended the Chupol Fortress until the Britannian army withdrew due to insufficient supplies - this is Marshal Veselov's general strategy for this battle.

...

...

April 19.

Marshal Veselov stood on the wall of the Chupol Fortress and silently looked at the Britannian army outside the city.

One day has passed since the Britannian army came to the city.

During this one day, due to the arrival of subsequent troops, the Britannian army outside the city became more than yesterday.

According to Marshal Veselov's vision, the Britannian army, which had arrived at the city of Chupol Fortress, had no less than 80,000.

Marshal Veselov observed the arrangement of the Britannian Army, while paying attention to the composition of the Britannian Army.

While discovering the flag of the Knights of Michael, he also discovered a brand new flag that had never been seen before.

The style and color of this flag are almost exactly the same as the flag of the Knights of Michael, but the pattern on it is not similar to the flag of the Knights of Michael.

The flag is painted with patterns like flowing water.

Although Marshal Veselov had never seen this "water pattern", he had heard of this "water pattern".

As far as he knows, the flag of the Uriel Knights was painted with "water patterns".

Looking at the "water-patterned flags" outside the city, Marshal Veselov said in his heart:

——It seems that this should be the flag of the Ullir Knights.

——Is the flag of the Knights of Uriel?...I saw it for the first time.

——It seems that even the Knights of Uriel have participated in this invasion...

——Is the joint corps of the Knights of Michael and the Knights of Uriel?

The scale of the Britannian Empire's troops sent more troops than Marshal Veselov's expectations.

He never expected that even the Uriel Knights who were in charge of guarding Pandragon came.

Although the Britannian Empire sent troops this time exceeded his expectations, Marshal Veselov was not too panicked.

Because he is very confident in the Chupole Fortress under his feet.

Since the end of the "Harm" battle, the Holy Hillan Empire has mobilized the whole country to repair Chubol City.

It took only a few months to successfully raise and thicken the city walls, add many defense facilities, and repair Chuboer City into a Chuboer Fortress.

Not only that, Chupol Fortress also stocked up a large amount of supplies.

The military supplies of the army are all the same as the civil supplies needed by residents.

The materials currently stockpiled by the fortress are estimated to be enough for the fortress defenders and residents to use for one year.

In other words, Marshal Veselov was not afraid of a war of attrition.

Currently, there are 70,000 defenders in Chupol Fortress.

The Holy Xiran Empire originally planned to gather 100,000 troops in the Chubol Fortress, but because some of the troops were too far away from Chubol Fortress, 30,000 troops still had not arrived at Chubol Fortress and were still on the way to Chubol Fortress.

Although there are only 70,000 defenders in Chupol Fortress, this number is enough for defending the city.

According to the information sent back by scouts these days, the invading Britannian army would not exceed 200,000 at most.

Relying on a fortress of the level of Chupole Fortress, it is enough to use 70,000 people to block 200,000 people.

If the Britannian army planned to attack for a strong force, Marshal Veselov would be fully confident that he would use the Britannian army to die here by relying on the Chupole Fortress under his feet and the 70,000 troops in his hands.

Marshal Veselov's most feared thing now is that the Britannia army uses strange strategies to deal with him.

The highest commander of the Britannian Empire's offensive this time must be Su Cheng, the leader of the Knights of Michael.

After experiencing the "Aurora" offensive that ended in a disastrous defeat, Marshal Veselov had already experienced Su Cheng's power.

He knew that Su Cheng was a genius on the battlefield, and was best at using all kinds of tricks to defeat his opponents.

Things like Qi Ce have always been hard to guard against, especially Qi Ce that Su Cheng came up with.

So what Marshal Veselov is most worried about now is that Su Cheng uses strange strategies to deal with him.

If Su Cheng really uses Qice to deal with him and Chupol Fortress, Marshal Veselov really doesn't know how to defend.
