Chapter 1,228: Dale, Caring for His Subordinates

Britannia Empire, Northern Front, Muhawicz Fortress.

As soon as night fell, Del took Hazel to the wounded barracks to express condolences to the injured.

Compared with Raymond, Samuel, Gary, Deng Jiaer and others who have their own specialties, Dale's talents seem ordinary.

There are no tactics that he is good at, nor any troops that he is good at commanding.

If we had to say that Dale had any outstanding talent compared to her comrades, it would be that she was keen on and good at caring for her subordinates.

Regardless of whether it was peacetime or wartime, Dale was always the one among the commanders of the Michael Knights who visited the wounded camp the most.

It is precisely because of this that her subordinates like her and support her so much.

It is precisely because of this that the 4th Army has become the army with the closest relationship between superiors and subordinates among the Michael Knights.

…

…

"Okay! Do you feel better?"

Dale used skillful techniques to help a soldier retie the bandage around his waist.

Just when he was inspecting the wounded barracks, Dell keenly discovered that the bandage of an injured soldier was not tied properly.

So, she immediately walked up and helped the soldier re-tie the bandage around his waist.

"Thank you, sir!"

The soldier thanked Dale with excitement.

"You're welcome."

Dale smiled and patted his shoulder, then stood up and left.

However, before she had gone a few steps, she stopped again.

"What happened to your wrist?"

Dale, who frowned, walked quickly towards a female soldier while saying this.

The female soldier's wrist was swollen, and she looked very scary.

"Sir, my wrist is broken." The female soldier forced an ugly smile on her pale face, "But it's just a minor injury."

"Where are the military doctors? Didn't the military doctors treat you?"

"The military doctors said my injuries were only minor and not fatal, so they asked me to wait while they gave priority to treating the seriously injured."

"That's it...here, stretch out your hand and I'll see if I can help you catch it."

After saying that, Del squatted down, gently grabbed the female soldier's hand, and then rubbed and pressed the swelling on the female soldier's wrist.

"Hmm..." Dale pondered, "The bone is not seriously broken, I will help you reattach it. It may hurt a little, so you have to clench your teeth."

"Ah good!"

The female soldier obediently followed Dale's order and clenched her teeth.

After the female soldier clenched her teeth, Dell firmly grasped the female soldier's wrist, and then pressed inwards.

"Well..." Because she clenched her teeth, the female soldier let out a dull cry of pain.

"Okay." Dale smiled and let go of the female soldier's hand, "It's okay."

After hearing what Dale said, the female soldier immediately began to move her wrist.

As flexible and strong as ever, and no more pain.

"Thank you, sir!"

"You are welcome."

After saying that, Del stood up and left.

However, before she had gone a few steps further, she knelt down again and asked about a soldier's injury...

…

…

Hazel accompanied Del and visited the wounded barracks.

The injured barracks was not that big, but it took the two of them nearly three hours to finally inspect the entire camp.

The reason why it took so long was simply because every few steps Dell had to stop to condole with the soldiers, or to help the lightly wounded soldiers who were too late to be treated, or to re-bandage their wounds.

After walking out of the wounded barracks, Hairouer couldn't help but sigh:

"Miss Dale, you are so gentle."

"I'm beginning to understand why you are so popular among the generals of the 4th Army."

"Gentleness or something like that doesn't count."

Dale smiled slightly.

"I'm not a gentle person, I just... empathize with the pain of physical injuries that the injured suffer.

"

Del shrugged and continued in a calm tone.

"I come from the slums."

"As someone who was born in a slum, I understand best what it feels like to be injured but not receive treatment, or receive poor treatment."

"I also understand best what it feels like to be bullied."

"So I will do my best to spare my men the pain I have endured."

Dale's calm tone seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Del is a member of the Michael Knights... no, it should be said that he is one of the knights with the lowest starting point in the entire Britannia Empire.

Although the Britannian Empire's promotion system for civil servants and military officers is the most enlightened among the major countries, there are still only a few people who can become knights as civilians.

Even knights like Su Cheng who were born into common people were in the minority, let alone those who came from poor families like Del.

Dale, who was born in a slum, managed to reach the high position of commander of the 4th Army of the Knights of Michael by relying on his own ability, diligence and opportunities - I have to say, this is a miracle.

Many junior officers in the Britannia Imperial Army who also had humble beginnings actually secretly regarded Del as their role model.

Dale's current achievements have inspired many people who also come from poor backgrounds like her.

After Del's words fell, Hazel nodded, with a look of reminiscence on her face.

"Is it the feeling of being injured but unable to get timely and good treatment? I can relate to this feeling."

"I also come from a poor family. My parents passed away very early. "

"Not to mention seeing a doctor, even what to eat tomorrow has become a big problem."

"When you are sick, you can only endure it and can't go to the doctor-this kind of thing is normal."

"I have a very deep impression of something when I was young-I got seriously ill once, but my family couldn't afford to see a doctor."

"So I could only endure it...hope that my body would heal itself as soon as possible."

"The helplessness and despair at that time...I feel creepy just thinking about it..."

"Fortunately, I was lucky at that time, the disease really disappeared slowly, and my body healed itself."

"I really hope that this suffocating feeling of helplessness and despair will never appear on me and the people around me again..."

"Hahaha." Dale laughed freely, "It seems-we have a lot in common unexpectedly. I like you more and more."

Speaking of this, Dale suddenly paused.

Because she suddenly remembered something very important.

"Yes, yes. I almost forgot."

"Hazel, I have found the person you asked me to find."

As soon as Dale finished speaking, Hazel said in a tone of joy:

"You found someone who meets those characteristics? That's great!"

"Well, it took me a lot of effort to find someone who meets these characteristics. After all, there are too few people who can match all those characteristics."

At this point, Dale's mouth corners lifted up greatly, revealing an intriguing and strange smile.

"I can't wait to use this interesting tactic you proposed on the enemy."
