Hadrian.
This name had a profound meaning in the ancient legends of the Holy Britannia Empire.
That was in an ancient era that was even more distant from the present day of the Holy Britannia Empire. The people living on the ancient island where the Holy Britannia Empire originated built a wall that spanned the entire island and was hundreds of kilometers long in order to resist the invasion of the barbarians from the north.
It was named after the general who led its establishment at that time – Hadrian's Wall.
With such an extraordinary name, when the Holy Britannia Empire was faced with the crisis of the mainland being attacked, they decided to move the imperial capital to the American continent, which was even further away from the EU. A fortress that was also named Hadrian's Wall was also built on the coast facing the Atlantic Ocean as the imperial capital was settled in the American continent.
Perhaps, when it was built, the emperor of the Holy Britannia Empire at that time had some ideas.
But now, in the era where the Holy Britannia Empire had already dominated the world, this fortress named Hadrian's Wall seemed to have lost its mission.
Especially when the rebellion of the empire was burning, this fortress that was supposed to protect the imperial capital became the frontline of the rebellion that was about to attack the imperial capital.
However,
Both sides knew that this fortress, which was once regarded as the last barrier of the Holy Britannia Empire, would inevitably be attacked by the other side.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
In the dense forest, a slight sound of high-speed pulleys quietly sounded, and there was also the sound of branches being broken.
"Long Legs, lower your voice!"
A reprimand came from the communication channel, scaring the new team member who had endured the cruel training of the cold Grim Reaper and was eager to perform meritorious deeds.
"Roger! Sharp Knife! "
A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the young man called Long Legs, but he still obediently did as he was told.
This was a team of the Royal Knight Regiment that secretly left the imperial capital not long ago.
It was also the first team led by the first Knight of the Round Table, Ziligu Cupid, who had just become the first Knight of the Round Table.
The members he led were all elites selected by Qiliku, Fiana, and Titania from the previous trainees.
Whether it was in terms of training or actual combat, Qiligu and Fiana both believed that these elites were already close to the standard of the Red Shoulder Team.
Therefore, Qiligu brought them out.
At the same time, according to the Redshoulders' usual course of action, he led the first team to the southwest of Hadrian's Stronghold, in a dense forest, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
There was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
However, Qiligu seemed to have overlooked a factor.
It was a factor that affected morale.
Ray Mingkai, who led the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, was appointed as the King of Knights.
As the chief instructor and deputy chief instructor of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, Qiliku, Fiana, and Titania were directly promoted to the new Knights of the Round Table who stood above the Empire's three armies after Lei Mingkai became a Knight King. The top three ranks were all divided.
The moment this major news that was enough to change the structure of the Empire's three armies spread, it also made the Royal Guard Knight Regiment, who had been subjected to the inhumane death training of Qiligu, Fiana, and Titania, the three 'demons' and 'death god' instructors, greatly excited.
At that moment, even if Qiligu increased the difficulty of the original training by 30%, it still wouldn't be able to offset the enthusiasm of these young Knight whose morale had skyrocketed.
Fortunately, this burning passion didn't cause these young Knight to cause any trouble in the imperial capital before they were dragged to this hellish battlefield by Qiligu.
"Perhaps, a few fewer people will die!"
At the end of the forest, Qiligu, who was dressed in camouflage clothing, put down the binoculars in his hands and silently estimated the predicament they would face in the upcoming attack.
"Qiligu. This is Titania. Please reply if you copy. "
As the sun gradually set and scattered the last traces of light in the forest, a communication from a secret camp more than ten kilometers away was transmitted to Qiligu's earpiece.
"Copy! Please reply. "
Qiligu's words were as concise as usual. It didn't change at all just because the other side of the communication was the woman closest to him.
"Confirming the battle time now."
Titania's voice came into his ears. Qiligu raised his left hand, lowered his gaze, and looked at the mechanical watch tied to his wrist.
Looking at the second hand that seemed to move forward with the beating of his heart, an undetectable emotion flashed through Qiligu's heart.
This was a gift given to him by Fiana and Titania on the day the first batch of Royal Guard Knight Regiment graduated.
Although Qiligu couldn't see what was so special about this seemingly ordinary mechanical watch, he sensed that Fiana and Titania seemed to be planning something at some point in time.
"Ta, ta, ta …"
The unique frequency of the second hand caused Qiligu's mind to gradually focus.
"Set the time to 1810. Begin the countdown! "
Titania's voice activated Qiligu's obedience instinct that was engraved deep in his genes, allowing him to adjust the time that was different from Titania's in the blink of an eye and wait for Titania to start the countdown.
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
"Set!"
When Titania's voice fell, the second hand that Ziligu had adjusted started to move again. It moved in tandem with the heartbeat that was more than ten kilometers away.
"Now the time is 1810! Time synchronization, complete! Titania. The battle time is 1915. Are you ready? "
Qiligu put down his left hand and raised the binoculars in his right hand again, carefully observing the stronghold that had already become the frontline of the rebellion.
"Everything is ready! However, I have a small problem on my side. "
Qiligu was silent, but Titania knew that he was listening and waiting for her to speak.
But unfortunately, Titania wasn't the kind of woman who only knew how to grumble and complain. Instead, she was a resolute and powerful woman with outstanding abilities.
"Forget it! That's just a small problem! As long as I let those little fellows see with their own eyes what the battlefield is like! Then it can be solved! "
"Then, see you later!"
"En, see you later!"
The darkness that belonged to the night gradually fell.
The hunters hidden in the dense forest also quietly began to move as the night fell.
As the night grew darker, the lights inside Hadrian's Stronghold grew brighter and brighter. From the core area to the periphery, the moonlight illuminated the surroundings of Hadrian's Stronghold, leaving no blind spots that could be exploited by the enemy.
On the towering city wall, heavily armed soldiers wearing infrared night vision goggles were patrolling back and forth at a frequency of three minutes. They stared intently at the distance where the light couldn't reach — the dense forest that was always shrouded in darkness because the light couldn't reach it.
The person who sent these soldiers to monitor the forest at an unprecedented frequency had reason to believe that as long as any suspicious targets that could be captured by the infrared night vision goggles appeared, the defenders would react quickly and eliminate them in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps this was a bit exaggerated.
But for a certain man standing in the core area of the stronghold in the command center, this was necessary.
"I say, sire, aren't you making a fuss a bit?"
A wisp of fragrant wind carrying the chill of the night came from behind, followed by a charming and soft voice.
The man turned his head to look, revealing the Mask Flying Bird he wore in front of the person who came, and then shook his head.
"No. I don't think it's enough. Ma 'am. "
The woman called Ma 'am in her red skirt swayed, waving a feather fan as she came to the side of the Mask Flying Bird.
"Not enough? I think sire is somewhat cautious. Her Highness the Consort's current situation I'm afraid has already made the young Empress flustered! "
"Cautious? Hehe. Ma 'am. You don't understand! The significance of this Hadrian Stronghold to Her Majesty the Empress. "
Pausing, the Mask Flying Bird laughed a few times.
"Although within the Empire, there aren't many nobles who will take this stronghold seriously. But, the Empress will come back. "
The Ma 'am in the red skirt faintly wrinkled her brows. She wanted to refute the Mask Flying Bird, but she couldn't find any reason.
That's right!
Even if Empress Euphemia didn't come, the man who had been conferred the title of King Knight would inevitably come back.
This place was the frontline position to attack the Imperial Capital, and at the same time, it was also a trap to lure prey.
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering boom exploded in the sky.
The sound was loud and clear, like a bolt of thunder that could destroy all things in the world, directly exploding within the stronghold.
In fact, from the shaking screen and the rumble that swept through the room, one could tell that the stronghold had suffered an attack.
"Report the situation! Where did the attack come from?!! "
The Mask Flying Bird's reaction couldn't be said to be slow.
But the attack came even faster!
"Wuwuwu!!"
In the instant the sharp whistling sound swept through the horizon, a shockwave that shook the heavens and the earth engulfed the command center where the Mask Flying Bird and the Ma 'am in the red skirt were.
The intensity was so intense that it even extinguished the main screen that was responsible for monitoring the situation around the stronghold.
Amidst the violent tremors, the command center emitted bursts of painful wails. At the same time, there were also quite a few strong-willed, quick-acting technicians who did their best to rescue the system that had been affected by the attack and had temporarily stopped functioning.
In the end, the scene on the main screen that had been reactivated caused the Mask Flying Bird and the Ma 'am in the red skirt to be extremely frightened.
In the shaking screen, the Lionheart Knight that the Empire's citizens were familiar with, but rarely in the public eye, quickly rushed out of the dense forest shrouded in darkness. They practically swaggered their way through the first line of defense of Hadrian's Stronghold.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Outside the screen, there were bursts of roaring cannons and the sound of anti-armor missiles rising into the air.
When the Mask Flying Bird heard this, he knew that this was the first wave of the defense of Hadrian's Stronghold.
However, although the defense of Hadrian's Stronghold moved quickly, the Lionheart Knight who had rushed through the first line of defense did not take the concentrated firepower of the defensive net seriously.
"Long legs! Don't piss your pants! "
Amidst the flashing gunfire, the Lionheart Knight whose right shoulder was painted blood red flashed through the trenches like lightning. Sharp Knife, who was mocking the young Knight named Long Legs, laughed loudly.
"Shut up! Sharp Knife! As a Knight, you must not be scared by these small fries! And the First Knight has already rushed through the third line of defense!!! "
In the eyes of Long Legs, the bright red Lionheart Knight with a silver lion's head on its shoulder rushed through the heavy gunfire and rushed to the bottom of the wall.
"Bang!"
In the loud explosion, the bright red Lionheart Knight raised its fist and punched the wall in front of it.
"Buzz!"
The Armed Punch hidden inside the steel fist was instantly activated. With the powerful explosive power of the hidden high-energy gunpowder, it smashed a deep hole in the seemingly sturdy wall that could withstand the attacks of the original main force of the Britannia Empire, the Sunderland, as if it was enough to penetrate the wall.
The wall was torn apart in the blink of an eye. With the huge hole as the center, the cracks rapidly spread like a spider web, and the defenders who witnessed this scene were terrified.
"Crack!"
This attack was far from over!
