Chapter 1058: Defending the Northern Front

Even if I don't need to explain in detail, you should know that the task of the troops heading south is the most difficult. "

"Not only must we defeat Allen's rebels and protect Pendragon, but we must also move eastward to defeat the Frankish army that is still entrenched in the Rhineland Plain."

"So, in order to ensure the chance of victory, I decided to lead the 110,000 troops of the Knights of Michael to the south."

"Leave 10,000 people to defend the Muhavitz Fortress to stop the invasion of the Hilan Army from the south."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, everyone, including Willy, looked surprised.

Because they all knew that the troops Su Cheng left on the northern front were too few.

According to the intelligence sent back by the spies and scouts lurking in the Holy Hilan Empire, the Holy Hilan Empire mobilized more than 80,000 troops this time.

And Su Cheng only planned to leave 10,000 soldiers on the northern front, which means that the troops left on the northern front will face 8 times or even more than 8 times the enemy...

Even with a giant fortress like the Muhavitz Fortress, To rely on, but it will definitely be a fierce battle.

But Willy and the others also understand Su Cheng's decision.

Because judging from the current severe situation, leaving 10,000 troops on the northern front is already the limit.

On the Pendragon side and the Rhine front, there are more powerful enemies waiting for the Knights of Michael to deal with...

If too many troops are left on the northern front, there will not be enough combat power to fight against Allen's rebels and the hundreds of thousands of Frankish troops.

"It is not easy to stop the invasion of the Hilan army from the south."

At this time, Su Cheng continued in a deep voice.

"So - I plan to entrust the task of defending the northern front to one of the five of you."

Su Cheng moved his eyes and passed through the faces of Raymond, Samuel, Gary, Dale, and Deng Jiaer one by one.

"Such a difficult task can only be entrusted to one of the five of you, and I will feel at ease."

"I plan to entrust this task to Samuel. "

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking,

the eyes of everyone present were focused on Samuel, the commander of the 2nd Army.

Among all the commanders, Samuel was the most "favored" general by Su Cheng, except for Alyssa, Deng Jiaer, and Raymond.

Therefore, the general was not surprised by Su Cheng's appointment.

Although Samuel had a casual personality, he had strong personal abilities and would complete the tasks entrusted to him satisfactorily.

Such a difficult task was indeed very suitable for Samuel.

After hearing Su Cheng's appointment, Samuel first raised his eyebrows.

Then he raised his hand and scratched his hair.

"I know..."

Before the last syllable of Samuel's "I know" was uttered, a female voice that no one expected to appear suddenly sounded from behind Samuel.

"Captain! Please give me the task of defending the northern front...ah, no, give it to me! "

As soon as the female voice fell, everyone, including Su Cheng, followed the voice and cast their eyes full of surprise and astonishment.

Among them, Samuel's eyes were the most surprised and astonished.

The owner of this female voice was Dale, the commander of the 4th Army, who was sitting behind Samuel.

After everyone focused their eyes on her, Dale turned her tongue, tried to speak the honorifics that she was not used to, and said loudly again:

"Captain! Please give me the task of defending the northern front! I promise you that I will never let a Hilan pass through the Aghal Corridor!"

After that, Dale turned her head and said to Samuel:

"Sorry, Samuel, please give me this task."

As soon as Dale finished speaking, Samuel, who was sitting in front of her, said unhappily:

"Dale, what are you doing?"

"Even if you follow the commander to the south, you still have many opportunities to gain military merits. "

"I'm not trying to snatch the mission from you for such a boring reason." Dale's tone was slightly unhappy.

"... Dale." At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly spoke.

Su Cheng's tone was quite calm.

He asked Dale in a calm tone:

"Are you really going to take on the task of defending the northern front?"

Dale raised her head and looked directly at Su Cheng.

"Yeah." Dale nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'm ready. Captain, please give me this mission!"

There was a hint of pleading in Dale's tone.

"Captain, don't worry about her." Samuel said to Su Cheng, "You can take Dale to the south as well, and leave the northern front to me. "

Su Cheng ignored Samuel's words.

Instead, he looked at Dale, who was looking at him without showing any weakness, with his eyes as sharp as a torch.

After a long while, Su Cheng finally gave an answer that made everyone present look surprised and shocked again.

"Okay, then the task of defending the northern front is handed over to you."

"I will allocate 10,000 troops from the 4th Army to you."

"You use these 10,000 troops from the 4th Army to defend the northern front for me."

"Hold on until the Xilan Army retreats or we come back."

"Can you do it?"

Su Cheng's answer made Dale stunned for a moment.

Then, ecstasy surged from his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yes!" Dale stood up and saluted Su Cheng with the military salute of their Britannia Empire, and said loudly, "I...ah, no, I promise you that I will defend the northern front beautifully! I will never let any Hiran soldiers pass through the Aighar Corridor!"

"Samuel." Su Cheng turned his head and said to Samuel, who was still in shock and had not yet recovered, "I have decided to hand over the task of defending the northern front to Dale."

"Samuel, you can go south with me."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Samuel said anxiously:

"Captain! Why do you want to give the task of defending the northern front to Dale? I don't doubt Dale's personal ability, nor do I want to steal the credit, but..."

Before Samuel finished his question, Su Cheng raised his hand and stopped Samuel from speaking, interrupting Samuel.

"Samuel, I understand that you have doubts about my appointment."

"But, I have made up my mind about this."

"I don't plan to make any changes to my appointment."

"The task of guarding the northern front is handed over to Dale - this decision will not be discussed again in the future."

After that, Su Cheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the current time.

"Let's adjourn for now."

Su Cheng said as he put the pocket watch back into his pocket.

"It's been a long meeting, and it's time to take a break."

"From now on, take a 20-minute break."

"Everyone, take this time to walk outside the command room, or go to the nearby lounge to eat or drink something."
