Chapter 1335 El's Three Requests (Part 2)

Vasili's words completely stunned El.

He didn't know until now that Dominic had recommended him to Vasily.

When El was stunned by what Vasili just said, Vasili continued:

"Our country has been humiliated by the grassland people over the years."

"If the prairie people continue to act unscrupulously like this, within a few years, our country will be unable to tolerate the disturbance and fall into a crisis of chaos."

"I no longer want to be beaten passively like this."

"But even Nikita has nothing to do against the steppe people."

"If even Nikita can't do it, then the other marshals must be even more incapable of doing it."

"I have no one available. I am in urgent need of someone who can eliminate the threat posed by the prairie people to our country."

"As long as someone can lead the Far Eastern Front to eliminate the threat posed by the grassland people to our country, even if this person is not a real person but a dog, I will promote him to the position of commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front."

"Now is a time of national crisis, and I have decided to trust Dominic's recommendation to you."

"Bernard, wait a minute. As long as you nod your head and show that you have the ability to defeat the grassland people, I will immediately promote you to the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front."

"Of course - if you feel that you are not capable of shouldering such a large number of people, you can also shake your head and refuse."

"I won't force you."

"Now—let me hear your answer."

After that, Vasily said no more.

He looked directly at El quietly, waiting for El's answer.

Looking at Vasili looking directly at him, El sighed softly.

He raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar white ceiling above his head.

Through the white ceiling, El seemed to see Dominic's face again.

El couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

——Teacher...

——I have no objection to you recommending me to His Majesty...

——But after you recommend me, you have to tell me...

El thought for a while, and he found the answer to the question of why Dominic concealed from him the recommendation of him to His Majesty.

The reason why Dominic concealed the fact that he recommended him to Vasily was probably because he was afraid of incurring dissatisfaction from him who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

The scene in El's eyes changed.

Dominic's face changed from the one he saw 3 years ago to the tragic situation of his country after the prairie people invaded his country.

At that time, El saw what the town of Poji looked like after being ravaged by the steppe army.

There are ruins and debris everywhere.

El will never forget the tragedy in Poggi Town.

His mood at that time will never be forgotten in his life.

He has always had a good personality, but he is extremely angry...

The scene in front of me changed again.

But nothing new happened this time.

Just the tragic image of Naboji Town that appeared in El's eyes disappeared.

Instead, a voice sounded in El's ears.

"If one day, the Holy Hiran Empire encounters an invasion from a powerful enemy, will you be willing to step forward and turn the tide?"

This was the question Dominic asked El when he was about to die.

Although it was a long time ago, for El, these words were still as clear as if Dominic was still saying this to him in his ear every time he recalled it.

——Teacher...

——You could have predicted that I would have such a day, so you asked me this question and asked me to prepare myself mentally in advance...

After sighing silently in his heart, El slowly lowered his raised head.

He looked directly at Vasily again.

"Your Majesty, please agree to my three requests."

"If you can agree to these three requests from me, I am willing to take over this important task."

"... Just tell me."

"The first request: Please transfer 2,000 elite crossbowmen from the Central Guards to the official, and provide a quiet and secluded training venue for the official."

"The official is going to take these 2,000 elite crossbowmen for 2 months of training.

Train them into a special elite force that can fight against the prairie army. "

"So I will not go to the Far East until two months later, after the training of these 2,000 crossbowmen is completed."

"...Okay." After a moment of silence, Vasili nodded.

Seeing that Vasili agreed to his first request, El continued:

"Second request: Please give me an orchestra that is good at playing snare drums and trombones. The number of the orchestra should be around 50 people."

Hearing El's request, Vasili couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Bernard, wait a minute, what do you want a band for?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for keeping this secret."

"It would be difficult for me to introduce the usefulness of the orchestra to you in ordinary words without actually showing it to people on the battlefield."

"...Okay then." Vasili nodded, "I also agree to your request."

"Then, my last request is - please go to the Far East to mobilize enough supplies for the Far East Front Army to launch a three-month expedition."

El's last request completely stunned Vasili.

Before Vasili asked El why, El answered himself:

"Your Majesty, if we want to completely eliminate the threat posed by the prairie people to our country, a blind defense is definitely not feasible."

"If we want to resolve the threat posed by the prairie people to our country once and for all, the only way is to fight."

"Go out and attack, and give the grassland people a thundering blow."

"Fight hard, and keep fighting until the grassland people don't even have the courage to fight against our army."

"Fight until the grassland people can't even look west."

"Use the expedition to completely solve the threat of the grassland people to our country."

"As long as the grassland people never dare to provoke our country again, the threat of the grassland people to our country will naturally disappear."

Vashili looked dazed, looking at El in front of him stupidly.

In the three years of being bullied by the grassland people, he has asked almost all the marshals in the country the same question.

And the plans proposed by these marshals, including Nikita, are similar.

They all strengthen the eastern defense line and rely on solid fortresses and fortresses to block the attack of the grassland people.

At the moment when the national strength is weak, the only person who proposed to take the initiative to attack and launch an expedition is El.

Vashili is a person who likes to show off his achievements. Compared with the cowardly defense, he wants to take the initiative to attack.

El's words just now made his blood boil.

Perhaps he was infected by El's courage. After recovering from his daze, Vasili immediately nodded vigorously.

"Okay! I agree to your last request!"

"I will use all my national strength to help you launch an expedition to the prairie!"

Seeing that all three of his requests had been agreed, El sighed silently.

"In that case, I am willing to do my best."
