Chapter 240: The Promise Once Made
"On behalf of the French Resistance, we thank the noble ruler of China for his generosity, thank you for your assistance to us, and for this reason we have properly resettled all the more than 1,000 Chinese people rescued from the mines of Couro, and I have been ordered by Lord Emily to report an important piece of information to Lord Chen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" Gaillard stood up straight, looked at Chen Xiaochu and said calmly.
"Not humble or silent, this temperament is not like an ordinary French commoner, is it a nobleman?" Chen Xiaochu looked at Gaillard and thought meaningfully.
"Very good, I will send someone to pick up those Chinese civilians, thank you for rescuing them." Chen Xiaochu nodded, and then continued, "What did Emily ask you to bring?" ”
When talking about the military situation, Gaillard's face was solemn, in stark contrast to Cyprian, who was a little nervous on his side, and he said clearly: "Our army was ordered to attack the English army garrison on the northern coast, and just yesterday morning, a large number of English troops were found to have landed in the port city of Afur on the north coast.
"What?" Chen Xiaochu suddenly lost his temper when he heard this, "The main army of England withdrew from the northern continent and returned to the south?" ”
"Yes, my lordship." Gaillard looked at the surprised Chen Xiaochu and continued: "At the same time, we found that a large number of Huaxia troops were attacking the city of Afur Harbor, and the two sides started a fierce battle, but the Huaxia fleet was finally repulsed. ”
Cyprian stood aside and couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "But the Huaxia fleet has not left, but is hovering near the city of Afur, my lord, your Huaxia navy is really powerful, it is the first time I have seen such a large ship, the battle that day was really fierce, and almost all the navy of England was burned down." ”
The continuous shocking information made Chen Xiaochu feel a little incredulous, and couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Have you seen it clearly?" Is it really the attack of the Huaxia Navy on the city of Afur Harbour City? ”
"My lord, there is nothing wrong, we can recognize the Chinese characters, and there is no doubt that the words written on those flags are all Chinese characters." Gaillard responded without any concealment.
"What is the text written on those flags? Can you write it down? Chen Xiaochu said with some eagerness.
Gaillard pondered for a moment, then replied, "My lord, I don't understand the meaning of those words, but I remember the general appearance. ”
Liang Hongyu walked to Gaillard's side when she heard this, then stretched out the baton in her hand and motioned for the other party to draw a rough appearance on the ground.
Gaillard nodded, then took the baton, recalling in his mind the words on the flags flying high on the ships, crouching down and gesturing on the ground.
The baton shook slowly on the ground, although the writing was very crude, but when the text was written with the last stroke, Chen Xiaochu still recognized it.
"Zhu?" Chen Xiaochu's hands clenched uncontrollably, and after recognizing this text, he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking in his heart: "I have almost fought everything, and finally waited for the current result, I can be regarded as basically reaching the goal, the invaders have finally retreated." ”
There is only one person in the northern continent whose army will hang this banner, that is, Zhu Yan, the leader of the alliance in Eastern China, Chen Xiaochu finally felt that he was not fighting alone, why did the main force of the English army not attack Chen Xiaochu after returning to the south, why did the other English seeds who stayed in the homeland not attack Chen Xiaochu, except for the riot factor of the French slaves, the decisive thing was the threat of the Chinese navy in the north.
"At this moment, almost all the English troops will be ordered to go to the northern coast to set up defenses, only Kelly of Tyne City, the English army of Cliff Fort was pinned down by me, so they did not act rashly, it is estimated that at this moment Kelly and others have received the news that the Chinese army has gathered to attack the northern coast." Chen Xiaochu sat down again, and calmed down while thinking about it, Zheng Hebao's fleet can transport 10,000 people at one time, such a threat has always existed in the north, and no one dares to attack him easily in the south.
"I know, go back and return to your life, and from today onwards, I will double my food supply for you." Chen Xiaochu came back to his senses and looked at Gaillard and the others, and said calmly.
"Honorable ruler of China, Mistress Emily has one more message for us to convey to you." Gaillard bowed again, and said with a solemn face.
"Huh? It doesn't hurt to say anything. Chen Xiaochu seemed to think of something, but still responded calmly.
"It's a promise." Gaillard said, slowly kneeling on one knee, and then bowed his head and said, "Please don't forget Xiao Jiazhen's promise." ”
"Are you kneeling at me at this time? Xiao Jiazhen ・・・・・・" Chen Xiaochu's thoughts suddenly returned to a long time ago, and Gaillard, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, looked like Emily at that time.
"Save the Holy Maiden, as long as you can rescue the Holy Maiden,,,,,," Emily's voice at that time became clear in Chen Xiaochu's mind, and that obsession was an important reason for her to follow her.
The arrival of the Huaxia Navy in the harbor city of Afur made Emily understand that Chen Xiaochu's goal had been basically achieved, but at this moment, the saint was still imprisoned in the Cliff Castle, and if Chen Xiaochu withdrew at this moment, the activity of the French Resistance Army would only be short-lived, so she could only hope that Chen Xiaochu would keep her promise and remember what she had said in person.
"Please tell Emily." Chen Xiaochu's thoughts returned to reality, looked at Gaillard and said loudly: "Huaxia people are faithful, and I, Chen Xiaochu, will not break my original promise." As one of the rulers of China, I now have the ability to protect the Chinese people in the southern continent. ”
"France is an ally of Huaxia, I hope that this agreement can be formally reached with your saint in the future, all for the ultimate goal, that is, to save every Chinese people in the southern continent, I need your existence, I need this land to restore the rule of the French, this is not only in line with your survival interests, but also directly help Huaxia."
"I hope that Emily will tell every French army that is rebelling to save and protect the local Chinese people, and you will be able to get the weapons and food rewards given by me Chen Xiaochu, whether it is a baby in swaddling clothes or an elderly person with limited mobility, as long as it is a Chinese person, I will pay according to the number of people."
"In the cliff fort where the saint is imprisoned, there are also Huaxia people, and when these people are not rescued, I, Chen Xiaochu, will never withdraw my troops."
"There will be no withdrawal." When he said the last sentence again, Chen Xiaochu emphatically increased the weight of his tone, and such a display of determination finally made Gaillard's brows stretch, and his gaze at Chen Xiaochu also changed.
