He was sure that the sky was the same everywhere, and that no matter how strange the city might seem, he could always see something familiar in the sky. No matter where it is, it is the same open space, which belongs to him and to anyone in the world.

With two hundred and forty sailors and six hundred elite men on board, the Roma occupied most of the seven ships' cabins, and although there were not enough cabins for each of the captains on board, they were enough to provide a separate cabin for each captain.

As the leader of the Governor's Guard, Wendell's status is naturally not much worse than Marcus and Luculus, and even better than the two captains of the Lucy Kingdom, Wiled and Valk.

Since accepting the mission on the deck that day, Wendell has not left the cabin for four consecutive days, during which time, Bai Feng has twice come to Wendell's cabin, but he did not enter his cabin because he didn't want to disturb Wendell, who forgot to sleep and eat.

On the fifth day, the swaying fleet was only about two days away from the Yanhuang family's Michinoku Kingdom, and on this day, Wendell, who had made a battle plan, finally stepped out of his cabin and arrived at Hakufeng's cabin with his battle plan.

Bai Feng, who was browsing the information of the major families of Changlu Country in the cabin, put down the information in his hand, and asked Wendell, who had a somewhat haggard face: "I haven't stepped out of the hatch for four days and four nights, I believe that your body will definitely be able to bear it, but what about your spirit?"

"Rest assured, the Governor, that four days of sleepless sleep are nothing to the Admiral. Wendell, who barely squeezed out a smile, mentioned the past: "When the last general was in the tribe, he once waited for six days and six nights to hunt a female bear that survived the winter!"

"Waiting six days and six nights to hunt a winter bear is a natural thing for a warrior who has to support his family. In this regard, Bai Feng said to him: "But you are now the commander of the Governor's Guard, not a soldier who supports your family, are you?"

Wendell, who knew that he would be wrong just now, had to correct his attitude and admit his mistake to Bai Feng: "The last general knows his mistake, but please rest assured that the governor will always remember his identity in the future and will not do anything contrary to his identity." ”

"Well, it's good that you understand it yourself. Seeing that Wendell had already admitted his mistake, Bai Feng reminded him: "Wendell, you must remember that your identity is the commander of the Governor's Guard, and you must always maintain sufficient physical strength and vigorous energy in order to command the soldiers under your command. ”

"Obey the Governor's instructions!" While respectfully responding to the order, Wendell handed the landing operation plan he had made in his hand to Bai Feng with both hands and said, "Governor, this is the detailed plan I have formulated for the landing operation, please take a look." ”

"No, I don't need to look at it. Seeing that Wendell was about to step forward and put the battle plan on the table in front of him, Bai Feng directly waved his hand and refused: "You are fully responsible for the operation of the Governor's Guard to land on Sado Island, and I will not interfere more." ”

"Governor, what do you mean ......"

"What I mean is simple, our fleet will first dock in Mutsu City, then two Roman legions and two Lucie legions will land ashore, and when they have all landed, your Doge's Guard will be escorted by the First Fleet to Sado Island. ”

"Governor, without your personal command, and I lack the experience of leading the army alone, and the landing operation is a completely unfamiliar method of warfare to the officers and men of the Governor's Guard, I am afraid that there will be uncontrollable accidents at that time. ”

In the face of Wendell's hesitation, Bai Feng, who had the intention of using this landing operation to cultivate Wendell, encouraged him: "Wendell, you are the commander of the Doge's Guard, and it is only a matter of time before you lead the army independently, I believe you will do a good job and will not let me down." ”

"But, Governor, I ......"

"Remember the promise you made to me four days ago, I waited for you to lead the Governor's Guard and take Sado Island for me in three days!"

"This ......" Looking at Bai Feng with burning eyes, Wendell could only say, "The Governor's Guard will never let the Governor down!"

"Wendell, I am the governor of the city of Rome, the Governor's Guard is my guard, and it is also the most powerful elite division in the city of Rome, as the commander of the Governor's Guard, not only can you not dishonor the prestige of the Governor's Guard, but also want the Governor's Guard to move towards a stronger future!"

Bai Feng, who stood up, walked up to Wendell, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I hope that one day, you can make the Doge's Guard a world-famous elite division, and you yourself will become a humerus general who can take charge of me alone!"

Facing Bai Feng's eager eyes, Wendell repeated in a firm tone: "The Governor's Guard, will never let the Governor down!"

In the end, Bai Feng still didn't look at the battle plan that Wendell had made behind closed doors for four days, and Wendell, who had a firm goal in mind, gathered the five wing captains under his command and began to deduce the landing operation that was about to be commanded by him independently over and over again.

Attacking Sado Island, which was garrisoned by only more than 20,000 pirates, with a morale-high and well-equipped Governor's Guard, was no daunting task, and more importantly, Wendell was not a rigid general, he knew how to use wits better than ordinary barbarian generals.

Among the barbarian generals in Rome City, except for the resourceful Bronno and the experienced Eggers, the others did not have Wendell's qualifications and potential, and in Bai Feng's opinion, as long as he was cultivated, Wendell would definitely grow to the height of Eggers in the future.

However, the reason why Hakuho chose to use the Doge's Guard as the main force to attack Sado Island was not because he wanted to train Wendell, but because he needed an elite army that was proficient in landing operations, and among the armies that followed Hakufeng's expedition, the Doge's Guard was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Whether it is two Roman legions or two banner legions, they are the core system of the main force of the Roman city, and they are not suitable for training in the direction of the landing force, not to mention the two Lucie legions and the two Acenian legions, which are not the descendants of the Roman city.

The only suitable Governor's Guard, after successfully capturing Sado Island, which was guarded by more than 20,000 pirates, will inevitably accumulate rich experience in landing operations, and when the Yanhuang family needs to carry out landing operations in the future, the experienced Governor's Guard will definitely play an important role!

Of the sixty-six sub-states of the Yamato Empire, four were purely overseas islands, and of the remaining sixty-two sub-states, only fourteen were inland sub-states without coastlines, and the number of coastal sub-states was as high as forty-eight!

This meant that the Yanhuang family, derived from Rome City, could attack any of the forty-eight coastal sub-states and four island sub-states of the Yamato Empire as long as they had an elite landing force and a powerful escort fleet.

Under the premise that Rome City already has a strong escort fleet, such a huge strategic advantage can only be formed by cultivating an elite landing force, so Bai Feng decided to train Wendell and his Doge's Guard into an elite landing force in Rome City!

The landing operation on Sado Island is the first landing operation for Wendell and the Governor's Guard, but it is definitely not the last, as the Yanhuang family continues to develop, the enemies of the Yanhuang family will become more and more powerful, and the combat missions of the Governor's Guard will also increase!
