The Knight's Journey to the Empire

September 4878, 7 in the Knight Continent calendar.

The 60,000-strong expeditionary force sent by the Principality of Glia arrived at the southern battlefield of the Kingdom of Midburg and stationed in the western defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg.

The two countries reached a final cooperation, put aside their past grievances, and worked together to resist the brutal invasion of the Kingdom of Essex in order to safeguard their own peace and stability.

After receiving the news, King Chris VI of the Kingdom of Essex immediately issued a royal order to the commander of the army attacking the eastern section of the defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg, ordering the army to launch an all-out attack and a quick victory.

The army stationed in the eastern offensive direction of the Kingdom of Essex dispatched a special force composed entirely of formal knights who had cultivated fighting spirit. They crossed the Winston River in the early hours of the morning and launched a surprise attack on the garrison camp on the easternmost part of the Midburg Kingdom's defense line.

The combat effectiveness of this special forces unit was so strong that they marched straight into the No. 4 garrison camp as if they were in an empty space, and entered the central army tent with almost no hindrance.

The commander of the Midburg Kingdom army in the No. 4 garrison camp was afraid of death and hid in the chaotic crowd at night. He fled and disappeared without a trace.

In this battle, the night attack tactics of the Kingdom of Essex were very successful:

Three generals of the Kingdom of Midburg who were of the upper knight class level were killed and one was captured;

Twenty-eight elite officers with the professional level of brave knights were killed and twelve were captured.

Countless other knights or ordinary soldiers were killed or captured.

But more of them still took advantage of the darkness and chaos to escape!

The army of the Kingdom of Essex then occupied or forcibly demolished all the defensive fortresses and guard towers around the garrison camp and to the east of the garrison camp.

All the ships on the entire offensive front were mobilized and concentrated in the eastern direction of the attack. They began to continuously increase troops in the occupied areas and at the same time built or improved various defensive fortifications.

The morning of July 4878, 7 in the Knight Continent calendar.

Duke McClellan, the commander of the eastern defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg, immediately issued an emergency call-up order to the troops stationed in other garrison camps upon receiving the news that the Kingdom of Essex had invaded and captured Garrison Camp No. 4.

Recruit other troops to urgently support Garrison Camp No. 4 to jointly resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Essex and recapture the fallen defense line.

Duke McClellan attempted to save the declining situation of the Kingdom of Midburg.

It was the afternoon of July 4878, 7 in the Knight Continent calendar.

With the arrival of reinforcements from two other garrison camps, Duke McClellan's men had assembled a total of 3 troops.

So he led this army and began to attack the vanguard of the Kingdom of Essex.

The troops of the Kingdom of Essex arranged defense points based on the occupied defensive fortresses and guard towers, fighting and retreating or resisting to the death along the way.

The army led by the Duke of McLennan, at the cost of thousands of soldiers, finally recaptured all the defensive lines west of the garrison camp occupied by the Kingdom of Essex before dark.

This also means that Duke McClellan has pushed the front line to the No. 4 garrison camp.

However, both sides subsequently called off the fighting and tacitly agreed to a ceasefire.

Under the command of Duke McClellan, the army of the Kingdom of Midburg launched a strong attack on the No. 4 garrison camp, vowing to recapture the fallen defense line.

The Kingdom of Essex, on the other hand, relied on the defense facilities in the No. 4 garrison camp and fought desperately without any retreat.

The two sides then launched a bloody battle of "attack and defense".

This battle lasted for two full days: the Kingdom of Middeburg attacked with all their might, almost at the cost of their lives; the Kingdom of Essex also defended with a desperate resistance, almost at the cost of their lives.

In just these two days, the number of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides exceeded three thousand every day, totaling six thousand.

The casualty ratio between the armies of the Kingdom of Midland and the Kingdom of Essex was [4:1].

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that now outside the No. 4 garrison camp, the scene is "corpses everywhere, blood flowing like a river, wailing everywhere, and it is a horrific scene."

Moreover, the blood flowed into the Winston River, not only dyeing the river water red, but also attracting many fish to come and frolic and eat. It was truly tragic.

The Kingdom of Essex received news that reinforcements from the Kingdom of Midburg were approaching, so it assembled more than 300 regular knights from the entire army at one time to form an elite special forces, and took advantage of the cover of night to launch another sneak attack on the army camp of the Kingdom of Midburg.

The special forces that took part in the sneak attack included 3 Pillar Knights, 15 Upper Knights, 76 Brave Knights, and more than 200 Entry-level Knights.

They launched a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning while everyone was asleep, and made an unstoppable advance all the way to the Duke of McClellan's central military tent.

Finally, Duke McLennan was awakened from his sleep, and only with the desperate protection of a Knight of the Pillar State and the escort of another Knight of the Pillar State did he escape the fate of being captured.

But the Midburg Kingdom army under Duke McClellan also paid a heavy price:

A strong man with the professional level of a Pillar Knight, one person was killed in battle, one was seriously injured and captured, and one escaped;

A general with the strength of a superior knight class level, three were killed in battle, two were captured, and four escaped.

As for the official knights and ordinary people below the upper knight professional level, their number is countless and difficult to count.
