483 Questioning
When Charlie was unconscious, Donald adopted a rather conservative strategy, although he gathered more than 3,000 family privates from the nobles of Faro City, he still did not dare to clean up the hard-hit area where monsters were rampant, which was equivalent to exchanging the lives of a large number of civilians and the prestige of the Louis family for Charlie's recovery time.
Now that Charlie has recovered, the plan for a counteroffensive can begin.
Charlie walked into the makeshift command war room, and immediately felt the focus of attention, and there were thirty people sitting in the makeshift war room, which seemed a little crowded.
The eyes of these people were filled with all kinds of emotions, some curious, some in awe, some indifferent, but it was clear that they were all aware of Charlie's feat, and only then did they show a submissive and cooperative attitude.
Donald seemed to see through Charlie's doubts, and explained in a low voice: "These are the representatives of the nobility who sponsored a private army to the Louis family, the number may be a bit large, there is no way, after all, it is their own army, and they are reluctant to be used by others, and the cost of raising a group of private troops is not small." ”
Charlie bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.
Charlie walked straight to the center of the war room, and a holographic image of the magic of Faro City appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the magic surrealistically restored the whole picture of Faro City in small scale, which was quite detailed.
Charlie pointed to the map and said straight to the point: "Who am I? I believe that everyone here knows something, and I don't do anything to introduce myself, and now, you are here, and you have contributed a part of your strength to the Louis family, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you on behalf of Donald! Thank you!"
Then, I take it for granted that your men will obey my command until the moment we reclaim the whole city!
Charlie glanced around, waiting for a response, taken by Charlie's aura, many people involuntarily lowered their heads, subconsciously avoiding his gaze, but in the face of this life-and-death problem, there is no shortage of braves.
Someone asked: "It's okay for us to hand over the army to you, but there is a very important question to which I would like to get a clear answer." ”
The man paused, and Charlie stretched out his hand to signal him to do so.
"How can you promise that you will not abuse the power we have given you, in other words, how can we be sure that you will not let the Coalition Army take on the most dangerous mission to cover your own men?"
This question was quite sensitive and sharp, and as soon as it was spoken, it immediately caused a lot of discussion, but it did speak to the hearts of all the nobles present.
"That's a good question!" Charlie said his answer almost without thinking, "in fact, I have no way of guaranteeing fair and just treatment for every army, our target is not a dead thing!
When it comes to strategy, the devil has the most say, my strategy and my plan of action may be mastered by them, and the targeted measures are formulated separately, which may be a partial failure for us, which means the destruction of a certain team!
So, I can't make any promises about your question......"
The man unceremoniously interrupted Charlie and said, "Then what you say is nonsense!"
"Yes! In that case, why should we hand over to you the soldiers that our family has cultivated at great expense, we will sell them ourselves! Maybe they will sell better than you! Sell more than you!!"
"It's boring! Our Kennan family is going to quit!"
"I have long seen through the people of the Louis family, if it comes to business, we will obey it! You are a well-deserved leader! When it comes to fighting, you have neither much ability nor much sense of responsibility!"
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the makeshift war room, and it was impossible to hear who was saying what at all.
Charlie didn't stop him, let them quarrel, but Donald on the side was a little anxious, so that these dozens of nobles sent troops to consume a lot of Donald's energy, and even promised some substantial benefits, which were cashed in after the battle, so as to win over the most powerful nobles first, as an example of cooperation.
Who knew that after Charlie came to power and threw out a few words, the alliance was on the verge of dissolution.
Donald coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry! He hasn't finished his sentence yet! Maybe he has his own considerations in this?"
In a word, the mess has finally been restored.
Who knew that Charlie added: "No, Donald, don't hide anything, that's what I mean! I won't promise how to dispatch the army, I have my own ideas, and I won't be influenced by anyone!"
The aristocracy was in an uproar.
Several nobles were very disappointed in Charlie's attitude, and left a few hard words, got up and left without hesitation, and walked out of the door, without waiting for their long-awaited obstruction, but outside the door, they vaguely heard Charlie's addition.
"I usually don't stand in the way of people who don't have the patience to listen to me, I respect their choice, and I'm fair and free. Charlie propped his hands on the border of the magic map, looked at the nobles, and said, "You are very clever and patient, and I will talk about this 'but' next."
While I can't make any fair and impartial promises about commanding operations, the Louis family will make some compensatory remedies to your satisfaction based on the casualties of each family. ”
An old man said with a blank face: "I know that the Louis family is very rich, but we don't need material compensation, especially at this moment, gold coins and non-combat materials are not the most important things!"
"Did I say compensate you for the money?!" Charlie asked rhetorically, facing everyone's expectant eyes, and said: "We can train knights for you, and we can also sell some equipment that exceeds the standards of the city defense army, of course, there is a certain limit on the quantity, if you come into contact with this level, you should know that the military has some unspoken rules for the sale of these oversized equipment, and usually has a blind eye attitude, but once you exceed the limit, you will be immediately investigated by them!"
These two proposals seemed attractive to these nobles, and they immediately drew a lot of discussion.
"Hehe, hey, training knights?!Who do you think you are?, the instructor of the Imperial Main Battle Corps doesn't dare to say such big words!" someone in the crowd let out a sneer.
Donald whispered: "Charlie, he is Lord Lehman, and his family has recruited a reserve instructor from the Ninth Corps, some level, and their Lehman knights are the highest quality among all the support teams. ”
Charlie bowed slightly, indicating understanding.
Without waiting for Charlie to respond, someone retorted loudly: "Heh! If Charlie trains knights for you, you can't even look down on it, then there are really not many instructors in the Millennium Empire who can catch your eye." ”
Lord Lehman asked, "What do you mean?"
The latter asked rhetorically: "Haven't you heard of the name 'Charlie'?"
From everyone's astonished gazes, Lehman realized that he had probably snubbed the overly young commander.
Sir Lehman said with some confusion: "Familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it for a while!"
"You haven't heard of Charlie, you've always heard of the Silver Knights, right?"
"Oh?" Sir Lehman suddenly realized, nodded Charlie, and said, "So you are the head of the Silver Knights! I remember! The Civil Defence Knights who destroyed the Blue Eagle Knights and the Templar Knights one after another are simply a legend!"
It is not an exaggeration at all, limited by the political environment of the thousand-year-old empire, the difference in strength between the Civil Defense Knights and the Military Knights is not the slightest bit
Charlie bowed slightly, stared at Lehman and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Sir Lehman hurriedly raised his hand, made a funny expression, and said, "There is absolutely no doubt!"
The others let out a good-natured laugh.
"What about the others?
"No problem. The crowd responded in unison.
At this time, standing outside the makeshift war room, several opponents who eavesdropped on them were almost remorseful, crowded at the door, and neither left nor stayed.
"Since there is no doubt, let's talk about tactics next, you have the right to suggest, if it is appropriate, I will adopt it. ”
As he spoke, Charlie moved to the magic map: "Since we have encountered the monster army led by the Great Devil in Faro City, it means that they have some intentions for Faro City.
The other day, I killed a great devil at the cost of serious injuries.
In fact, at that time, the best opportunity to attack, you could have taken the devil by surprise and sabotaged their plans in Faro City, but you chose to retreat. ”
Speaking of this, Charlie deliberately glanced at Donald, who blushed and smiled awkwardly.
"Either way, we must start the reconquest plan, and the sooner the better, I will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, I hope everyone will obey my orders, and we will work together to take the city of Faro from the hands of the hellish monsters!"
