Chapter 755: Confrontation Between Su Cheng and El (Part 1)
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress.
Since Willy launched a cross-sea surprise attack with most of his combat power and almost all the knights, the headquarters of the Michael Knights has become much deserted.
Because now the overall situation has been decided, the 300,000 Xilan Army in the Eghar Corridor is considered hopeless. Next, we only need to slowly wait for these 300,000 Xilan Army to collapse from hunger, kneel down and beg the Michael Knights to surrender them. That's it.
Therefore, there is nothing important to do recently, and Su Cheng rarely has a moment of leisure.
Su Cheng's biggest daily entertainment activity now is to go home and play with Theresa.
But now he is also the head of the Michael Knights and the top person in charge of the Northern Front. If he runs home every day and entertains his children, it will inevitably have a bad influence.
So Su Cheng still stayed in the headquarters of the Michael Knights for most of the day.
In order to pass the recent free time, Su Cheng plays war games with Deng Jiaer and Alyssa every day.
Playing war games with others is also Su Cheng's favorite way to pass the time.
Since learning how to play wargames, Su Cheng has never lost to anyone, and has never been defeated.
Therefore, Deng Jiaer and Alyssa's record these days is undoubtedly a complete defeat.
Whether they were on the ground one by one or both together, they could not defeat Su Cheng even once.
Today was supposed to be spent leisurely playing chess.
Until a scarred soldier arrives at Avalon Keep with shocking news...
…
…
"What?! Baidi City was captured?!"
In Su Cheng's office, Su Cheng looked at the scarred messenger from Baidi City in shock.
Just now, this wounded messenger came to Avalon Fortress.
After arriving at Avalon Fortress, he bluntly said that he wanted to see Su Cheng and tell Su Cheng something important.
Then after receiving the messenger, Su Cheng couldn't help but look shocked at what the messenger said.
Baidi City was captured by Xilan's army who didn't know where they came from!
"...Please be more detailed."
Shocked, Su Cheng quickly regained his composure.
After regaining his composure, Su Cheng asked the messenger about the details of the capture of Baidi City.
When and what day was Baidi City captured?
How many men were there in Hiran's army that captured Baidi City?
Are the officials in the Northern Territory Administration safe?
…
After the messenger told Su Cheng all the information he knew,
He took out a letter from his arms.
"This letter was asked by the commander-in-chief of the Xilan army that captured Baidi City to bring to your Excellency, the regiment leader."
"I was able to come to Avalon Fortress because the commander of the Xilan Army deliberately let me out. He wanted me to give this letter to you, the captain..."
Su Cheng took the letter from the hand of the messenger, then opened it and read it at a glance.
The content of this letter was written in Britannia, and the handwriting was quite beautiful. The handwriting was as beautiful as Su Cheng's.
【Yours sincerely
Captain Su Cheng:
Humphrey Walker, Arlin Carr and other officials from the Northern Territory Administration are all in my hands and they are all safe.
If you want to redeem them, come over to Baidi City and start discussions with me.
I won't hurt them unless absolutely necessary, please don't worry, Captain Su Cheng.
El Bernard]
This letter is very brief.
It can be seen that the person who wrote the letter is not a person who likes to talk nonsense.
The entire letter is concise and clear.
The brevity makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and some people find it incongruous. This kind of letter without a word of politeness is also very rare.
After seeing the last signature - El Bernard, Su Cheng's pupils shrank slightly.
"It's you... Sure enough... you are not an ordinary person..." Su Cheng whispered in a tone that only he could hear clearly.
Three years ago, Su Cheng met El and Gabriel while taking a hot spring bath in Acanrea.
Although the time they got together was short, Su Cheng was still very impressed by El.
Even though such a long time had passed and he had not seen him again for three full years, Su Cheng immediately remembered the person who had left a deep impression on him three years ago after seeing his name.
At first glance, it is easy for people to think that he is just an ordinary young man, but after a simple communication and getting along, Su Cheng felt that El was extraordinary.
It's an amazing feeling.
It was also the first and only time that Su Cheng felt this way about someone.
I always feel that he is a very powerful person, but if someone asked Su Cheng: What is so powerful about El, Su Cheng would not be able to answer.
I just think he is awesome.
It was precisely because of this wonderful feeling that Su Cheng remembered El, a young man of similar age to him who only spent more than an hour with him.
After silently folding the letter that El gave him, Su Cheng asked the messenger to go down and rest first.
After letting the messenger go down, Su Cheng asked the guards waiting outside his door to call the only two knights left in the fortress - Alyssa and Deng Jiaer.
Alyssa and Deng Jiaer were both at the Knights' headquarters at this time, so they arrived quickly.
After the two came to Su Cheng's office, Su Cheng said directly to them:
"A Hiran army that came from nowhere has captured Baidi City."
"All officials of the Northern General Administration, including Mr. Humphrey, have been held hostage."
"The commander of the Hiran army wants to negotiate with me with the lives of Mr. Humphrey and others as bargaining chips."
"Let him talk if he wants. I will accompany him to the end."
"Alyssa, transfer the 10 battalions from the 1st Battalion to the 10th Battalion of the 5th Army. I will take these 10,000 troops to Baidi City. Come with me."
"Deng Jiaer, during the days when Alyssa and I are away, the Avalon Fortress will be handed over to you. I believe that with your current ability, it is not a problem to manage this fortress."
"Also, Deng Jiaer, I have to leave immediately, so I don't have time to go home and say goodbye to Carol and Theresa."
"Please tell Carol for me later, and tell her: Alyssa and I have important things to do, and we will be away from the fortress for a while, so let her go to bed early these days."
This news is really shocking.
It took Alyssa and Deng Jiaer a long time to recover.
"Su Cheng, isn't it too few to bring only 10,000 people?" Alyssa said in a worried tone.
"10,000 people are enough. The fortress needs a certain amount of combat power to garrison, so we can't take too many soldiers."
"And I'm going to negotiate with him, not to fight with him, so I don't need to bring so many soldiers."
"I also hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully."
"Mr. Humphrey and others must not get into trouble."
"If something happens to them, the damage to the North will be too great."
"If something happens to them, the entire North's administrative system will be paralyzed for a period of time in the future."
"Therefore, the safety of Mr. Humphrey and others must be guaranteed no matter what."
