Chapter 1167: Severely Injured Jacob and Bankro
Su Cheng knew better than anyone how risky this way of going south was.
If the Knights of Michael arrived at Lot Port slower, or if the naval fleet arrived at Lot Port slower, or if the naval fleet encountered a sea storm when heading north or south along the coastline, it would be possible. As a result, the rescue mission to Pendragon failed.
However - despite this, Su Cheng could only take a gamble.
Since it is impossible to reach Pendragon City in time by taking the land route, it would be better to take the water route and take a gamble.
Fortunately - Su Cheng won the bet.
After sorting out his emotions and thoughts, Su Cheng suddenly thought of Jacob and Bancro.
After meeting with Ilsa and others a few hours ago, Su Cheng learned that Jacob and Bancroft had also participated in the Pendragon defense battle, and both had suffered serious injuries in the battle. seriously injured.
Jacob was extremely weak for unknown reasons and could not even breathe smoothly.
After Jacob fell, Bancro took Jacob's position and stood at the forefront to command and encourage the generals to fight.
However, after Bancro took Jacob's place and rushed to the front line, he was unfortunately seriously injured.
As far as Su Cheng knew, Bancro's left arm was cut off and his right leg was stabbed with a spear, causing extremely deep wounds.
Currently, both Jacob and Bancro have saved their lives under the treatment of military doctors.
Because Jacob and Bancro were still very weak, the military doctors did not recommend that anyone disturb their rest at this time. Therefore, Su Cheng could only hold back his worried heart and wait silently. The opportunity came up to visit Jacob and Bancro.
After thinking of Jacob and Bancro who were still resting, Su Cheng's thoughts suddenly jumped to his mountain-heavy responsibility of "saving the country."
——I don’t know how dad and Mr. Albert are doing now...
——Are you still struggling to hold on under the siege of the Franks?
——Or... the whole army has been wiped out by the Frankish army's general attack...
——To defeat the Frank army on the Rhineland plain. We must first defeat the huge fleet of the Frank Empire...
——If we do not defeat the fleet of the Frank Empire, our army will definitely be harassed by it...
——Under constant harassment by such a huge fleet, defeating the Frank army on the Rhineland Plain with inferior forces... This is simply a fantasy...
——We must first cooperate with Mr. Mu De’s fleet to defeat the Frank Empire’s fleet, and then find a way to deal with the Frank Empire’s army.
——However...according to intelligence, the Frankish Empire's fleet is superior to our navy in terms of both scale and warship size.
——In a water battle with the heaviest equipment, such equipment and scale are poor.
The possibility of winning is really slim...
——We must rely on clever strategies...
——Without a clever strategy, it would be impossible to defeat the fleet of the Frank Empire.
--well……
——Now that I think about it carefully, to some extent, I am really a miserable person...
——From the beginning to the present, there is almost no battlefield where I don’t fight with less and win more...
——In almost every battle, you have to rack your brains to think of clever strategies to win...
——When can I fight a wealthy war with inexhaustible supplies and a force several times that of the enemy...
…
…
Su Cheng's thoughts unknowingly drifted back to the current head-scratching and corrupt war.
Su Cheng felt that his brain, which had been empty just now, was once again filled with all kinds of messy things, and he felt his brain was bloated because of this.
At this moment, a thin murmur suddenly sounded beside Su Cheng:
"...Su...Cheng..."
There were only Su Cheng and Alyssa in this room, so it was obvious who the owner of this voice was.
Su Cheng thought Alyssa was awake, so he quickly turned his head following the sound.
It turned out that Alyssa was not awake, she was just talking in her sleep.
Looking at Alyssa who suddenly started talking in her sleep, a helpless smile appeared on Su Cheng's face, and he thought to himself:
——Has Alyssa started talking in her sleep again...I don’t know what she will say this time...
After marrying Alyssa, Su Cheng and Kailuo gradually discovered some of the more private details of Alyssa's life because they spent time together.
For example - Alyssa has the habit of talking in her sleep.
Because the sleep talk Alyssa usually talks in her sleep is so interesting, one of the great pleasures of Su Cheng and Kai Luoer when sleeping is to listen to see if Alyssa will say anything interesting in her sleep tonight.
At present, Su Cheng and Kai Luoer recognized that the most interesting sleep talk that Alyssa had ever said was that she clearly said everything she said in a dream, word for word.
The content of her dream was to have fun with Su Cheng.
While calling Su Cheng's name, he said some words that made Su Cheng blush. If you tell a child, his parents will treat you as a pervert and beat you up.
If Alyssa was told that she said these shameful words last night, Alyssa might go crazy and collapse from shame, so for the sake of safety, Su Cheng and Kailuoer kept this secret and did not tell anyone else. People, let alone Alyssa herself.
So far, Alyssa didn't know that she had said so many embarrassing words that she would never say when she was awake one night.
Alyssa had just had fun with Su Cheng, and now she suddenly talked in her sleep. Su Cheng thought that Alyssa might say a lot of embarrassing words like that night, which would make Su Cheng feel that "Alyssa is a more lecherous person than Carol".
However, the reality was beyond Su Cheng's expectations.
After whispering Su Cheng's name several times, Alyssa whispered in a vague tone that Su Cheng could barely hear:
"... Tired... Just... Take a rest..."
Alyssa's dream talk made Su Cheng's pupils shrink slightly involuntarily.
After pursing his lips and being silent for a long time, Su Cheng's mouth corners slightly raised, blooming a complex smile with helplessness, joy, gratitude and other emotions.
Raising his hand and stroking Alyssa's long golden hair, he whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Thank you... Alyssa..."
"Even when you fall asleep, you still care about me..."
"Rest when you are tired... It feels like no one has said something like this to me for a long time..."
After whispering softly, Su Cheng suddenly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Then he pulled the thin blanket covering him and Alyssa so that the thin blanket could better wrap him and Alyssa.
Su Cheng decided to sleep well now.
Decided not to think about the Frank army or how to defeat the enemy.
Decided to take his wife's advice tonight - tonight he would not be a hero who saved the country for the time being, but just be the husband of Carol and Alyssa, and just be an ordinary person who would rest when he was tired.
