Chapter 677 The Redeemer
At the same time, the remaining troops continued to enter the city through the passage, and joined forces with the soldiers in the fort to drive the Lombards to the south gate, forcing them to abandon Fort Soron. In addition, our troops responsible for attacking the south gate will open an opening and let the enemy out at that time, so as not to push them into panic and increase the casualties of our soldiers."
"Let them out?" Kazak looked puzzled.
"Yes, let them out." Art repeated again.
“Sir, this—”
Seeing that Kazak still didn't understand his intention, Art continued: "As soon as the enemy leaves the city, immediately send the carriages of the grenadier company and all the horses of the cavalry company to catch up and deal with those bastards!"
"Remember, this battle must clear out the Lombard army entrenched in the Sorrenborg and the surrounding military fort camps, and completely remove this nail that blocks the Welsh Army from moving south!"
As soon as Art finished speaking, everyone stood up and bowed and beat their chests, swearing to serve to the death.
"Also, the soldiers who enter the fort through the tunnel this time must be carefully selected. This matter will be left to the sergeant major, and the flag teams of each company will cooperate. The selected soldiers will be trained individually and will obey orders at any time."
"Yes, sir." Angus and the other officers responded after the order.
"Okay, the battle plan has been decided. After you return to the camp, you will intensify your training. In two days, we will capture Sauronburg!" Art raised the wooden stick in his hand and pointed directly at the location with "Sauronburg" written on the map.
"Yes, my lord!"
After the military meeting, Art left alone the deputy commanders of the legion, Angus and Odo, and the priest Robert. Ron, the bodyguard who was always with Art, stood aside.
The reason why a few people were left behind was mainly because Ater had not yet decided who to appoint to lead the elite warriors composed of 300 men.
After a few people sat down, Art said: "Sergeant Major, Odo, the reason why I left you two alone is mainly to hear your opinions."
Odo and Angus looked at each other and then looked at Art,
"You should understand that the attack on Sauron this time The key to the fort is the three hundred soldiers who secretly entered the fort. In other words, the first victory in the attack on Sauron Fort was definitely to prevent the various departments from arguing about it. Now, I want to hear your opinions."
“Sir, aren’t you making things difficult for us?” Odo frowned, his shiny black skin squeezed together, and waved his hands repeatedly, throwing the question to Angus.
"Sergeant major?" Art looked at Angus on the other side.
"Hey, hey, sir, this matter is not simple. You just have to choose one between me and brother Odo. After all, we are also deputy commanders of the legion. As long as you say a word, the company captains below can only obey." Angus seemed careless, but he actually had his own little thoughts.
"Sergeant major, if I really choose between you and Odo, you will definitely stand up for yourself, right?
Art glanced at Angus sideways, and played with the wine glass in his hand as if nothing had happened.
“I am willing to serve you!” Angus stood up suddenly and pushed the stool behind him out due to excessive force.
As he spoke, Si picked up the fallen chair and sat down slowly. "Besides you, Ron and I are the only ones who are familiar with the situation in the castle. As your personal bodyguard, Ron should naturally protect your safety at all times. He is not suitable for this. You have no choice but me." Angus said firmly.
"No, I do!" Art said immediately.
"Who?" Angus asked eagerly.
Att slowly turned his head to look at Ron beside him.
“This~” Angus was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Ron, who had been waiting quietly, suddenly came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth raised~
"Perhaps Ron is the best candidate. In terms of qualifications and combat power, he is not inferior to those company captains. In addition, as my personal bodyguard, he has accompanied me before. I sneaked into Sauron Castle and killed the steward who betrayed the Wells family. In addition, he followed me to explore the defenses of Lundburg last night, and he is more familiar with the situation inside. Don't forget, I brought Ron out myself, so it is most appropriate for him to lead people inside." Art has made up his mind.
"But, sir, as Ron is your bodyguard, and he is gone, who will ensure your safety?" Angus argued with reason.
“You don’t need to worry about this.” Art waved his hand to Angus, indicating that there was no need to argue about this matter.
Angus could only shake his head helplessly, pick up the wine glass on the table and drink it all in one gulp.
"Okay, this matter is settled. You can stay here and have dinner with me at noon." Art said to several people. "Ron, tell the kitchen to prepare some good wine and food. Let's have a few drinks today.
"Yes, sir~" Ron happily accepted the order and left.
After Ron went out, Art looked at Angus, who was a little disappointed, and joked: "Sergeant, I'm afraid you have been in the cavalry company for too long recently and are reluctant to leave~"
"Hahaha—" Odo and Robert sitting aside couldn't help laughing.
Angus sighed heavily after hearing this and said nothing.
In fact, with Angus's character, he would rather charge forward and compete with the enemy face to face, rather than stay behind all day and concentrate on handling military affairs and other complicated matters.
He has neither the patience of Bob, the secretary of the Chinese Army, nor the calmness of Otto, but his many years of battlefield experience have given him a unique and sophisticated temperament unique to soldiers. In addition, as a warrior who had participated in the Knights Templar, Angus had unique insights into leading troops and running an army.
In this way, he can complement Odo and become Art's right-hand man in managing the Welsh Army.
Although he was unhappy, as the deputy commander of the legion, Angus had no objection to Art's arrangement.
After a while, a large table of good wine and food was served in front of several people. After a devouring meal, Odo and Angus left together and returned to the station. Only Art and Robert were left in the hall.
Looking at Robert's red face, Yete couldn't help but make fun of him, and said with a smile: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it~The bishop of Wales actually poured beer into his stomach like water in front of me."
"Hahahaha, I made you laugh." Robert did not shy away from the church's strict rules and regulations, and he still went his own way as usual.
After speaking, Robert put down his wine glass, sat upright, and looked at Art.
"Sir, you should have something else to tell me." Robert asked without thinking.
Matt smiled lightly, stood up slowly, then pushed the big leather chair behind him, walked slowly around the long table, came to Robert, and said seriously: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
Matt reached out and patted Robert's shoulder a few times, then returned to his seat, held the back of the chair with both hands, and looked out the door with a stern expression.
Robert, who was still sitting in his original position, put away the smile on his face, pulled the cuffs on his thighs, and then slowly looked at Art.
When he laid his eyes on Art's familiar face, he was surprised to find that the earl standing in front of him was more serious than ever before. His eyes moved upward through his face, and those sharp eyes like falcons were a little deeper now.
“He has changed~” Robert muttered silently in his mind. "Yes ~ he has changed."
But exactly what changed about the lord that he followed wholeheartedly, Robert could not tell. But the count's eyes were indeed different from before.
Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion surged into my heart. Robert blinked, reached out and pinched his forehead, trying to wake himself up.
"You said, now that the king is gone, what will the future of the Burgundy Kingdom be like?
Just when Robert was about to speak, Art interrupted him,
"What?" Robert looked confused.
Perhaps alcohol has made his brain a little dull. Robert could only hear a few words intermittently-king, prince,
Future.
Robert shook his head slightly, slapped his hot face a few times, trying to keep himself awake,
It was obvious that he drank too much again today.
"Sir, I~" Robert wanted to stand up and explain, but the alcohol had already made his knees and hands unable to control his movements. His body that had just stood up softened and he sat back down.
He slowly raised his head to look at Art, but the earl was still facing the door. At this time, the sun shone through the door to the center of the long table, and a dazzling light enveloped Art's entire body, as if God had descended into the world - "Oh, my God, what happened?"
Robert shouted loudly, because the sight in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes~
"God, oh, my God, what happened? What happened?"
Plop!
Robert suddenly pushed the chair behind him, bowed in the direction of Art, and fell to the ground—.
"Mr. Bishop! Mr. Bishop?"
Seeing Robert kneeling on the ground, bowing to Art repeatedly, while shouting religious words such as "God", Ron quickly stepped forward to Robert and tried to help him up.
But Robert pushed Ron away and continued to kneel on the ground~
Seeing this, several guards outside the door walked in quickly, but were stopped by Ron.
In the eyes of these guards, the bishop of Wales had a noble status as the representative of God on earth. But at this moment, Robert's words and deeds seemed to convey God's will to them - the redeemer was right in front of him.
