Chapter 492 Samuel: Let Raymond and I Go Out Into Battle

February 24, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire. (The day Su Cheng encountered the horse thief)

14:03 pm.

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Willy's Office.

Today is also a very relaxing day.

Therefore, it was a rare occasion for Willy and the military commanders who were currently staying in the fortress to gather together in Willy's office, drinking black tea and chatting together.

There were so many people this time, even Samuel, who usually spent most of his time sleeping and catching up on his sleep, was now in Willy's office, drinking tea with Willy and others.

Except for Dale who is currently in charge of Base 1, all the military commanders in the fortress - Raymond, Samuel, and Gary are now here.

The three of them drank black tea and chatted with Willy, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"As early as the rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund in 289, I saw the extraordinary nature of our captain." Willy sipped black tea while chatting about the past between him and Su Cheng.

Talk about acquaintances around you - this is one of the most common topics people use when chatting.

"I served as the commander of the 3rd Army at the time. After the annihilation battle of Weihe began, I was responsible for leading the 3rd Army across the Weihe River with him, the regimental commander, to launch a feint attack on the enemy."

"When launching a feint attack, because the regiment commander was too close to the front line, some cold arrows would be fired from time to time."

"I saw it very clearly at that time - there was a cold arrow shot almost directly into the head of the regiment's face."

"It scared me and the group leader's sister so much at that time."

"If the trajectory of this arrow is just a little bit straighter, it can blow up the head of the regiment leader, and we will once again experience the feeling of the leader of the entire army being killed."

"However, although the leader's sister and I were terrified at the time, the leader acted like a normal person and shot the arrow close to his head without changing his expression or blinking his eyes."

"When I saw this scene, I concluded that the leader is not an ordinary person, and his future achievements will definitely not be low."

"Similar things have happened more than once. During last year's 'Xia Feng' offensive, I served as the regimental commander's adjutant and commanded the Eastern Route Army together with the regimental commander."

"During the 'Summer Wind' offensive, we encountered a night attack by the enemy. Tens of thousands of enemy troops took advantage of the darkness to attack our base camp."

"Under such a critical situation, the regiment commander remained calm and quickly calmed down the morale of the army. He judged from the sound that the enemy's attack was a feint, and then based on the nearby terrain, he deduced the enemy's main attack direction. , laid out tactics in a very short period of time, and successfully counterattacked the opponent."

"To be honest, I have always been curious about how the leader managed to remain calm in the face of danger... Did his determination come from practice, or was it acquired..."

After listening to Willy's story, Raymond looked full of admiration.

"Captain... is really strong... I really hope I can become as powerful as the captain in the future..."

Just when this small tea party was going on in such a relaxed and warm atmosphere——

Knock knock knock knock knock!

Suddenly there were urgent knocks outside the door.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander! There is a letter sent back by the carrier pigeon!"

"Homing pigeon?" Willy frowned.

"It's so rare." Gary murmured, "There is a letter sent back by a carrier pigeon...whose letter is it..."

Using carrier pigeons to convey messages—this method of transmitting information has always been in a very awkward position.

Because of the embarrassing status of carrier pigeons for communication, carrier pigeons are rarely used nowadays, so Gary couldn't help but sigh "rare".

The reason why the homing pigeon is in such an embarrassing position is mainly because of its several fatal weaknesses.

First of all - using carrier pigeons to send messages is not that convenient.

The reason why people can use carrier pigeons to send messages depends on the homing ability of carrier pigeons. Simply put, carrier pigeons cannot go anywhere and will only return to their home nest. People can only send messages to the place where the homing pigeon's nest is.

Secondly - using carrier pigeons to convey messages is also very unsafe. If carrier pigeons are used to convey important military information or political affairs, and the enemy captures or kills the carrier pigeons and intercepts the information, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, when conveying important military information or political affairs, no one would use carrier pigeons to convey them. Instead, they would use the relatively safest method: having people ride fast horses to convey them.

From the beginning of this small tea party to now, Samuel, who had rarely spoken and drank tea silently, now showed no expression and "accidentally" reminded the others present:

"The carrier pigeons... Speaking of which - when the captain left the fortress, in order to facilitate contact with us in case of emergencies, he took away a few carrier pigeons that had their nests in the fortress."

After hearing this reminder from Samuel, the expressions of Willy, Raymond, and Gary suddenly changed.

"Come in!" Willie shouted toward the door.

"yes!"

A soldier held a small roll of paper, opened the door, walked quickly into the room, and handed the small roll of paper in his hand to Willy.

After taking the small roll of paper and letting the soldier out, Willy eagerly unfolded the small roll of paper in his hand, which was no thicker than his little finger.

"Something bad has happened..." Willy, who read the contents of the scroll in a few seconds, said in a deep voice, "The leader is in danger. This morning, he encountered a horse thief in Bright Village."

"What? The leader is in danger?!" Raymond, who lost control of his voice due to losing control of his emotions, exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

"Well, the group leader, Alyssa and others are fine for now, but according to the group leader, this large group of horse thieves will arrive at Bright Village tomorrow evening, and it will be really dangerous by then. , so let us quickly send troops to rescue!"

As soon as Willy finished speaking, Raymond stood up from the chair with an anxious look on his face, and then said loudly:

"Deputy Commander! Please allow me to personally lead the troops to rescue the Commander! I only need 10 elite cavalry!"

Samuel, who was sitting next to him, also changed his expression slightly at this time: "Is the leader in danger..."

"Ten cavalry..." Willy frowned, "It's okay to let Raymond lead the people to the rescue in person, but if you only bring 10 cavalry, won't the force be too small? After all, there are so many horse thieves. I don’t know, for the sake of safety, it’s better to bring more soldiers.”

Raymond opened his mouth and was about to refute Willy's words when Samuel said first:

"Deputy commander, you seem to be a little too cautious. In my eyes, bringing 10 cavalry is too much. After all, the opponent is just a bunch of horse thieves, and there is no need to be so cautious and concerned."

"According to the captain's letter, a large army of horse thieves will arrive tomorrow evening. Therefore, the most important thing for rescuing the captain is to be quick. Therefore, bringing too many people will slow down the speed."

"So - we don't need to send so many people, we only need to send 2 people."

"Two?" Willy, Raymond, and Samuel asked Samuel in unison.

"That's right, you only need to send two people - just me and Raymond."

After saying that, Samuel put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his head and looked directly at Willy.

There is no longer the lazy and listless look on his face, only a serious and serious look.

"Deputy commander, let me and Raymond go out into battle." Samuel said sternly, "If Raymond leads 10 cavalry by himself, the total force is equivalent to 1010, but if we let Raymond and I go out alone, the total strength will be The force is equivalent to a human being fighting a group of horse thieves - more than enough, right?"
