A soldier is late for every training. One day, a general stopped him and asked:

"Why are you always late?"

The soldier whispered, "because I always overslept."

The general was furious: "if every soldier overslept like you, what would the world be like?"

The soldier bowed his head for a moment and replied, "then there will never be a war."

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, the general sneered: "if all the soldiers overslept like you, the war will start after everyone wakes up!"

"The offensive against Fort Avalon has stopped?" Gabriel exclaimed.

"It's not strange, is it?" El asked back with a bitter smile, "the active attack on the enemy - if you can't achieve excellent results at the beginning, it's over."

"At the beginning of the war, the morale and fighting spirit of the army are often at their peak."

"We must win the Avalon fortress in the first few days of the offensive with this strong morale and fighting spirit. If we can't win the Avalon fortress in the first few days, there will be no hope to win it after that."

"The teacher knew this very well, so after the official attack on Avalon fortress, he directly did his best and sent out the most elite troops to use all the siege means he could."

"On the fifth day of the battle, the teacher even risked launching a night attack."

"But no matter what means were used, the Avalon fortress still stood and did not bring great trauma to the Michael knights."

"Originally, after putting into use the mound for bow and crossbow men to shoot down, our army succeeded in slightly suppressing the of the Michael knights."

"But after that, the Michael Knights sent out a divine archer with superb archery."

"Archer?" Gabriel wondered.

"Yes. A divine archer who knows nothing about his appearance and name. "

"According to the report from the front line, this divine Archer specialized in sniping those crossbow men on the mound."

"No matter how well the archers on the mound hide, as long as any part of their body extends beyond the bunker, they will be shot."

"Since this divine Archer went out, there have been countless bow and crossbow men of our army who have died. It is conservatively estimated that there should be hundreds."

"Because this Archer is so terrible that some crossbow men of our army dare not even climb the mound."

"After killing a group of bowmen who dare not climb the mound and promising to increase the rewards and pensions for the bowmen who climb the mound, we can finally stabilize the demoralized bowmen."

"However - despite stabilizing the crossbow troops, the crossbow men who climbed the mound became timid because they were afraid of the divine archer. They didn't even have the courage to stick their heads out of the bunker and aim carefully."

"Because the divine Archer has been walking on the upper reaches of the city wall and never stayed in one place for a long time, until now, no one can witness the appearance of the divine Archer, and even don't know whether the divine Archer is one person or many people."

"In short, under the suppression of this divine Archer, the power of our mound is greatly reduced."

"The mound lost its original threat to the order of Michael."

"Without the help of mounds, the strategy of Avalon fortress is basically completely out of play."

"The bitter battle lasted seven days."

"In these seven days of fighting, our army has suffered nearly 50000 casualties, and 300000 combat troops have been directly reduced to 250000."

"The tragic casualties and the war without any progress have made the morale of the soldiers lower and lower."

When El said this, Camille suddenly answered:

"After playing for so many days, I still wander around the outer city wall of Avalon fortress and fight with the Michael knights on the outer city wall who can't kill everything - in other words, everyone will feel depressed and feel that what they are doing now is meaningless."

"That's right." El nodded and agreed with Camille's words. "If the fierce attack on the enemy fails to achieve good results, the morale and fighting spirit of the army will drop dramatically."

"The teacher saw that the morale of the army was seriously declining and there was no point in fighting any more, so he ordered to stop the offensive on the eighth day."

After listening to El about the changes in the war during his coma, Gabriel whispered:

"The morale of the troops has declined and the offensive has stopped... That's good. In this way, our troops should be able to stop this battle that has no hope of victory and withdraw and return home?"

"If so, that's good." Camille sneered.

This time Camille said to Gabriel:

"After stopping the attack on Avalon fortress, the teacher immediately wrote to his majesty."

"Tell your Majesty the current situation of the war."

"Inform your majesty that the morale of the troops is declining. There is no hope to break through Avalon fortress. Please stop the hammer operation and withdraw your troops home."

"Guess what your majesty said?"

Looking at the sneer on Camille's face, Gabriel had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Is it..." Gabriel asked cautiously, "Your Majesty... Does not agree to end the war and withdraw?"

"You're right." Camille sighed, "Your Majesty is unwilling to stop the attack on the British Empire and withdraw."

"In order to boost the morale of the troops and discuss with the teachers how to carry out the next battle, your majesty decided to drive himself to the front line."

Gabriel's eyes widened and his mouth grew big: "Your Majesty... Want to fight in person?"

"Yes, you heard right. Your majesty, he's going to fight in person. " Speaking of this, Camille sighed again, "Your Majesty, did he understand what the current war situation is... Even if he drives his own army now, he will not let the morale and combat effectiveness of the army soar, and then attack Avalon fortress."

"Don't be too pessimistic, Camille." On one side, El comforted Camille, "Your Majesty's personal expedition is not a bad thing."

"When your majesty comes to the front line, sees the real war situation and has a profound discussion with the teacher, he may realize that there is no possibility of success in this hammer battle, and then order to withdraw."

"If your majesty can realize that the battle cannot be successful and then order the withdrawal of troops, it is naturally the best."

At this point, Camille sighed again, then lowered his voice and continued:

"But I'm afraid your majesty, who is so happy, is stubborn and determined to continue this battle..."
