Chapter 11: Trust You
Seeing Shen Mengting set her eyes on Chen Tianhao's location, Zhao Yu naturally looked over there with determination.
At this moment, as if there was a bond of friendship between the two, Zhao Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes a little.
"Chen Tianhao!" Shen Mengting began to speak again, "You should have no problem! You are a very good assassin! So, I have decided to put this difficult task in your hands! I think you are completely up to the task!"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tianhao still lowered his head, "Well, I understand, I will do my best!"
"You can't do your best! This is a mission that must not fail! You must know that we in Saran are already facing complete weakness, so we must keep a close eye on the enemy's movements. If we don't even know when the enemy enters our territory, it means that we are not qualified to fight with the Sauron Empire at all!" Shen Mengting slowly raised her hand, and the fingers in it were still drawing circles in front of her out of thin air.
At this moment, Chen Tianhao seemed to be completely touched. He also seemed to finally understand a truth, how difficult the task given to him by his superiors was, which directly affected the Saran army...... No, it should be said that the fate of the whole country.
Chen Tianhao immediately took a deep breath, and he also took a symbolic step forward, "Marshal, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task well." As a general of Saran, I must guarantee here that not even a fly from the Sauron Kingdom will fly into our territory!"
Chen Tianhao's momentum is really amazing, and he even has a posture of not giving up until he completes the task. This also stunned everyone present, they would not have thought that an assassin who was not even a Saranite would have such an attitude.
Shen Mengting nodded appreciatively, "Well, Chen Tianhao! I will definitely believe you, otherwise I would not have entrusted such an important task to you! But now for me, it is more about my own surprise!"
Shen Mengting's words seemed a little incomprehensible, and she also traveled around everyone around her as if she had explained, "Such a powerful assassin!
Shen Mengting's actions made many people laugh, although Zhao Yu didn't understand what they were laughing at, but since everyone was in such a good mood at the moment, he naturally couldn't do anything to spoil the fun! He also immediately laughed out awkwardly, and made a slight humming sound from time to time.
However, among so many people, there is only one person who does not laugh, and he is Qian Hao, who has been extremely embarrassed from beginning to end. The archer kept a straight face, and from time to time taunted the assassin from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph! Do you say it so absolutely, don't fail to complete the task by then!" Qian Hao's eyes were narrowing, and the hostility in them was still very obvious.
Shen Jun next to him had already seen something strange about his partner, so he pushed it to the side with his elbow, "Hey, what's the matter with you?
Qian Hao came out of his imagination at this time. However, his body had become a little crooked due to the push from the side. Fortunately, his sense of balance is still very good, so he did not fall to the ground.
"Hey, Qian Hao......"
"Oh! nothing! nothing! you listen to the marshal!" Qian Hao pointed impatiently ahead.
Seeing this, Shen Jun reluctantly went to listen to the marshal's speech, and his head was completely sitting in front of him.
Shen Mengting did start to speak, but her face was just facing Chen Tianhao, "That's right! Then in order to better let you complete the task, I'd better say everything I thought just now!" she said that she was about to turn around and go to the map behind her to reach out and gesture something.
But Chen Tianhao immediately raised his hand to refuse, "Generalissimo! No need! I have listened very carefully just now!"
Behind his rather confident countenance, there is infinite attention in it. Then, he began to repeat the task in detail, without the need for anyone else to remind him of it.
"Build about 40 guard towers on the border, with every 10 kilometers as the standard! More than 30 soldiers will be stationed in the guard towers to keep a close eye on whether there is an enemy invading the border in shifts. If so, set fire to the haystack at the top of the tower. The smoke coming out of the haystack is the best warning!"
"As long as there is a warning on any of the watchtowers, send the cavalry patrolling the border to observe. Cavalry has its own patrol area, which can be used to better subdivide its work tasks. After the cavalry ran to the place where the incident occurred, no matter what the situation was, they had to report it here as soon as possible. This is what the Generalissimo has just emphasized, and I will certainly convey it to the patrolling cavalry later. ”
"Well! Chen Tianhao! You are not wrong at all, it seems that you are more detailed than I have said! I now feel more and more that it is a very correct thing to entrust you with the task! But there is one thing you have forgotten!"
Shen Mengting let out a drunken smile, and her gaze that looked directly at Chen Tianhao was not scattered elsewhere at all.
"Huh, Generalissimo......"
"In this mission, in fact, the most important and core person is you! It's you Chen Tianhao! The patrolling cavalry doesn't have to go so much trouble to report here, they just need to remember your location, or you can rush to the place of the incident in person!"
"Oh, Generalissimo......!
"I believe in you unconditionally, and I will definitely do things well! The commander-in-chief of the mission is also you, and everything should be reported to you first! If something really happens, he will come to this Henghe military camp and tell us! Do you know?" Shen Mengting raised her chin to Yang.
Everyone present knew that what Shen Mengting did was to give Chen Tianhao the right to supremacy! In the future, everything was done by Chen Tianhao in the fortifications of the border.
This is a great achievement, and when the war is over, those who take on this task will surely receive a reward.
Chen Tianhao was flattered and grew his mouth, and he also knelt on one knee on the ground, "Ah! Marshal! How can I ...... De?"
"No, you just have this qualification! I, Shen Mengting, believe in you 100% now, and I will definitely be able to complete the task!"
"Generalissimo!"
"Okay! You can go and do something now! After all, time is still relatively short, you need to lead the troops to build the guard tower yourself, and this task must not be lost!"
"Ahh
"General Wang Bin! Later, you and Chen Tianhao will go to the barracks to select some high-quality soldiers and let them act as defenses! Also, select some soldiers who are good at horseback riding and be responsible for patrolling! In short, the matter of selecting soldiers will be left to you! I think you have been in this barracks for so long, you should know very well which soldiers are outstanding in some aspects!"
"Yes! I understand! I will definitely do my best to help General Chen Tianhao and select soldiers!" General Wang Bin bowed halfway, and the movements in his hands were still in the situation of holding fists.
"Then you two can do it together! As the marshal, I would like to say thank you to you!" Shen Mengting showed a look that was almost melancholy.
"Oh! Marshal!
"yes! That's what we should be done!"
The two generals all showed a low voice, and their tones were still cowardly, as if they were pleading.
"Alright! Let's get to work!"
Under Marshal Shen Mengting's speech, Chen Tianhao and Wang Bin finally turned around and walked out the door. Their current pace is a bit heavy, especially Chen Tianhao as an Assassin. His steps have always been relatively light on weekdays, but because he picked up such an important person, he became nervous inside.
After the two generals walked outside, Shen Mengting sighed sincerely. The length of this sigh was very continuous, almost more than five seconds.
"Mengting, you don't have to worry! I believe they are all elite generals who can complete the task!" Lin Mingyuan wanted to put his hand on Shen Mengting's shoulder in order to appease him. But when he thought of this girl's current identity, he had no choice but to give up.
"Well, Uncle Lin Mingyuan! I know! I believe in them!"
Shen Mengting's gaze revealed a little comfort. Needless to say, General Wang Bin is now also one of the most reliable generals in the country.
Although the Assassin was not a Saran, his bravery impressed every Saran.
Shen Mengting believed that Chen Tianhao would definitely be able to do what he promised, as soon as Sauron's army set foot in the territory of Saran, he would notify all the soldiers to defend.
Since she believes in this general, Shen Mengting is currently ready to consider the next question.
Noticing the movements of Sauron's army is only the first step, and the rest is the most important. Will Saran's soldiers be able to hold off Sauron's attack? Shen Mengting asked herself this question again.
At this time, she noticed Vice Marshal Ma Liming next to her, who had been silent as if she had something on her mind.
"Vice Marshal Ma! What's the matter?
When Ma Liming saw that someone was staring at him, he straightened his body as if he had come back to his senses, "Oh!
"Do you have anything to say? Or do you think there's something wrong with my proposed response?"
Ma Liming shook his head immediately when he heard this, "No, Marshal! I can see that your method is quite right!" Although ......" hesitated for a while, he still finished his words, "There are many flaws in the method, but for now it can only be done." It's just that I think the key to the problem is not necessarily to notice Sauron's army. What really matters now is that we should ask ourselves a question. If we were faced with about or equal numbers of Sauron soldiers, would our troops be able to defeat them?"
The question asked by Ma Liming was like a bolt of lightning, and it almost made everyone twitch with it.
Shen Mengting also lowered her head a little: This deputy marshal really has a wealth of combat experience! He can see the whole problem at a glance.
Building some watchposts on the border can make sure you know the enemy's movements and prevent them from attacking again! However, if in the end your own army still can't defeat the enemy, it will be in vain.
Just imagine, even if the Saran side knew that the Sauron Empire was about to attack on a border, what could they do but quickly mobilize troops to defend?
If there is still no power to resist Sauron's army, then even if you know its movements, it will be in vain. The enemy can also make a big splash and outflank Saran directly to the rear.
Therefore, whether he can lead the army to defeat Sauron is the most important.
Shen Mengting gradually fell into contemplation, and she hoped to think of a foolproof plan to make up for the lack of her own strength. But how could such a strategy be easily conceived!
"Marshal!"
"Alright!" Shen Mengting immediately raised one arm, "I understand the current situation, and I also know our lack of strength! Alas, if Sauron really uses an army equal to our strength, then we really have to ...... It's hard to ...... It's hard to handle!"
Even after a moment of silence, Shen Jun immediately blocked the vacuum-like aura, "Ahhh
'What should I do if you ask me directly?' Shen Mengting stirred her mouth unhappily.
Lin Mingyuan Regent walked to the center of the crowd at this moment, and he turned his head to look around again with a big sigh, "It seems that everyone doesn't seem to have any confidence at all!
"Ahh......h
"But I get it. As long as the name of the Sauron Empire is mentioned, most countries are terrified!How could they dare to face the same number of Sauron soldiers!" Lin Mingyuan had a sad face, "But since we can't defeat the same number of Sauron soldiers, why don't we want to expand our strength?"
"Ahh......h
"What does the Lord Regent mean to continue to replenish the number of soldiers here?" said Ma Liming's waist bent slightly.
"yes! That's what I mean!"
"But, Uncle Lin, we have gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers here, can the country allocate more soldiers to us?" Shen Mengting questioned.
"No, absolutely not! These are extraordinary times, and I believe the king will understand us!" Lin Mingyuan sighed heavily, "I'll leave for Qingcheng right away, and tell the king about the predicament here! Don't worry, I will definitely persuade the king to send reinforcements again!"
"Ahh
Shen Mengting's anxious inquiry made Lin Mingyuan frown, "Hmm?Mengting?
"Ah! Why did my uncle leave? Didn't my uncle always want to stay on the front line and resist the invaders together with the soldiers? This is what my uncle told me before!"
Seeing Shen Mengting's appearance, Lin Mingyuan explained earnestly, "Mengting! I don't have any use for staying here, on the contrary, my old thing can also affect the combat efficiency of your young people! So I can only make my due contribution when I return to Qingcheng!"
While Lin Mingyuan said this, Ma Liming couldn't stop nodding.
"And now that the compromisers in the city are in power, I'm afraid they'll start making trouble again. So I wish I had to go back and see. It would be sad to let the king be surrounded by compromisers!"
Shen Mengting was stunned after hearing this, but she also knew that her words were not wrong at all! The regent in Qingcheng will always contribute more than those on the border.
"Ahh......h Well, I understand, I understand!"
"It's good that you can understand! When I arrive in Qingcheng, I will do my best to recruit soldiers from all over the country. When the time comes, they will also go to the front line to help you!"
Shen Mengting was very grateful when she heard this, she directly pursed her lips and nodded at Lin Mingyuan, "Thank you!"
"Alas, I don't need to thank you yet! I still have a few days to leave, because I want to order the supplies and armaments here!" Lin Mingyuan immediately raised his arm.
"Well, I understand!" Shen Mengting pursed her lips again. She put her hands behind her back and looked at the crowd huddled together, "Did you all hear that? Uncle Lin Mingyuan is so old, and he wants to contribute!
It was as if announcing something important, and one of Shen Mengting's arms was raised above her head.
Her encouragement was useful, and Qian Hao and Shen Jun both responded. They all raised their arms excitedly, and they all even felt like they were about to roar.
When Zhao Yu saw this scene, he could only follow behind in a daze and do the same thing. However, his strength was obviously somewhat insufficient, as if he was being persecuted.
"Agree with the marshal!"
"I will definitely contribute to the country regardless of everything!"
Seeing that the two of them were still excited, Shen Mengting made a timely gesture of pressing down with both hands, "Hey, what are you doing? I'll just say an encouraging word casually, are you so exaggerated?"
"No! Even if you say it casually, we don't listen to it casually! We just want to make unprecedented contributions to you and the country!" Qian Hao roared fiercely.
Shen Mengting couldn't resist the man, so she gave up and turned her face away.
"Aha......" Lin Mingyuan let out a low laugh, "These young people are really full of energy! I believe that as long as you exist, our country can resist the invasion of the invaders!"
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about them. They just look good, but they're really not that noble!" Shen Mengting said with disgust.
Of course, without waiting for Qian Hao to refute anything, Shen Mengting began to clear her throat loudly, "Okay! Don't make any more jokes! Let's continue to hold the meeting! Let's talk about how we should deal with it if the same number of Sauron soldiers come!"
Her every word was so clear and so penetrating.
