Chapter Seventy-One: Good Intentions or Bad Intentions
Liang Ke's analysis made everyone fall into deep thought, neither of them in the main battle nor the main defense, no one thought that the orcs would attack Rambet Cape with iron will. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Because, in their hearts, this majestic city has stood in the northern frontier of the empire for thousands of years, relying on those antique-like siege equipment, even if the orcs double their troops, they can't break it.
"Colonel Aragon, as you said, the orcs are not adapted to our environment here, and if they are not prepared to attack our imperial capital south, then what's the point of bothering to take this military town?" asked the young officer named Quincy, puzzled.
"This ...... That's where I'm confused. Liang Ke touched his nose and replied helplessly.
Everyone fell silent again, and General Kan Delun did not comment on Liang Ke's analysis, and asked loudly: "Do you have any suggestions?"
The generals shook their heads, Kan Delun was noncommittal to everyone's silence, and then made detailed arrangements for the task of defending the city. Liang Ke followed behind Ming Ge and was just about to step out of the door of the conference room, when a personal guard next to Kan Delun caught up and stopped them, saying that the commander had something to ask. Liang Ke had no choice but to follow General Mingge to General Kan Delun's study, where the commander, who had changed into civilian clothes, was waiting for them with an approachable smile on his face. Ming Ge and Liang Ke saluted the commander again, and Kan Delun smiled and invited the two novices to sit down, and then asked aloud about the details of the next battle at the south gate today. Liang Ke truthfully reported the situation after receiving the warning to Kan Delun, who nodded frequently and praised Liang Ke's performance, and also praised Ming Ge's good knowledge. After Liang Ke finished reporting the situation, the cook also brought dinner, and the commander invited Ming Ge and Liang Ke to have dinner with him, and several people chatted while eating.
In wartime, everything was simple, within a few minutes, a few people swept away the simple food on the plate, the waiter removed the tableware, and made unknown sweet tea for a few people, Kan Delun took a sip of the teacup, gently spit out half of the tea stem, looked at the pale yellow leaves that kept rotating in the teacup, and asked slowly: "I heard that you beat my little son very badly in Binuk?"
Liang Ke's heart jumped, he was a little worried when he stepped on the road to the north, although it was Sandos who was wrong at the beginning, but he really beat the heart of this super general to the bitter end, so it was impossible for him not to worry about the revenge from Kan Delun, he was in a hurry to deliver the task, and this was one of the reasons why he left the army. But after coming to Cape Rambet, Kan Delun never mentioned this matter, and praised him a lot, and was unusually promoted to the rank of colonel, this kind of favor almost made him think that Commander Kan Delun didn't take that matter to heart, but now...... Hey, blood is thicker than water!
"Yes! Liang Ke turned his heart sideways, instead of hiding and explaining skillfully, it was better to make it clear quickly, if you can leave the army with the help of this conflict and hurry up to do your own thing, isn't it in your own hands?
"Hehehe! You're really ruthless, Sandos's mother wrote to me, saying that the kid still can't get up, you ...... Should you give me an explanation?" Kan Delun spoke slowly, unable to hear the attitude of this commander who was in charge of one side. Ming Ge also knew what Liang Ke had done, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to say a few good words for Liang Ke, with the face of the family, I believe that Kan Delun would not embarrass a small officer. But now that Commander Kan Delun took the initiative to mention this matter, this blocked the room for mediation, and I am afraid that it would be impossible to say it if he did not give an explanation directly, although Ming Ge was in a cold sweat on the side, silently worried about Liang Ke, but he couldn't plead for mercy.
Liang Ke raised his eyebrows after listening to the question, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The duel was proposed by Sandos, and he explained the rules to me before he started, and I injured him, that is my attitude, and that is what he must explain to my woman." As for me, I don't need to explain it to anyone. If Commander Kandelun had to give an explanation, he would have been relieved of his duties in Aragon now, and I could have left Cape Rambet now. ”
Minggo frowned when he heard this, he really wanted to rush up and punch this stubborn donkey who didn't know what to do. He could hear that Kan Delun wanted to find a step for himself and resolve this contradiction, Liang Ke only needed to bow his head and apologize, but he was so incomprehensible, he was waiting to be knifed by his neck, beating other people's children, would he die if he apologized to Lao Tzu?
Kan Delun stared at Liang Ke with bull's eyes without blinking, Liang Ke was not to be outdone, raised his eyebrows and frowned, these two people stared at each other like fighting cocks, after half a minute, Kan Delun laughed wildly three times, slapped the table with his thick big hand, and said loudly: "You think of beauty, stay here honestly! Unless you can become a nobleman one day." After Kan Delun finished speaking, the frost on his face was swept away, and he smiled and invited Ming Ge and Liang Ke to sit down.
"Colonel Aragorn, your analysis just now makes a lot of sense, if we assume that the orcs really want to take Cape Rambet, then, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Lord Commander, Aragorn really doesn't understand the affairs ......of war!
"Don't talk nonsense, you still dare to say that you don't understand, you are now my staff officer, and you have to understand if you don't understand!"
This is unreasonable, Liang Ke is depressed in his heart, when will he be able to get out, it seems that it is not good, he really wants to help Kan Delun finish the battle. Liang Ke pursed his lips and replied reluctantly: "What I said just now is my own subjective speculation, and it really can't be used as a basis for deciding on the battle plan. We must immediately find out the strategic intentions of the enemy forces, and it is better to grasp their combat plans so that we can make an effective response plan. I propose to gather information from the observation posts at the head of the city as soon as possible, analyze the strategic intentions of the enemy, and send scouts immediately...... Oh no, it's a scout, send a scout right away, go deep into the enemy line and come back with a tongue, oh! ”
"That's all?"
"That's all. ”
General Kandelun was a little disappointed when he heard this, these were their usual practices in the war, and there was nothing new to praise them. He asked about some of the anti-ambush battles on the road, and then asked Ming Ge and Liang Ke to retreat and settle their troops.
When Liang Ke returned to the station, Kekeba had completed the handover of all ordnance with the defenders, and the number of the maintenance team was revoked, and from this moment on, it completely became Liang Ke's private soldiers, but according to the agreement, before they returned to Narondo, all military expenses were still borne by the military department. Now Liang Ke is a staff officer, but he has more pro-guards than Mingge, which feels nondescript, but no one can command these unruly guys, and it is useless for others to be jealous.
The guards had already gone to bed, but there were still a few people gathered at the door of Liang Ke's bedroom, Deborah was sobbing and wiping her tears, this hot, bewitching beauty saw Liang Ke coming back, pushed away the crowd and walked a few steps, and threw herself into Liang Ke's arms with a bang, shaking her fragrant shoulders, crying pear blossoms with rain, and two snow-white pink arms like lotus roots wrapped around Liang Ke's waist, for fear that the only backer would run away.
Liang Ke was quite embarrassed to be held by her, Piedro and Tucker and the others turned their heads to the side, looking for something on the ground aimlessly, Liang Ke nudged Deborah's shoulder, and comforted him with kind words: "Don't cry, you see! We haven't arrived here safely, you stay here for the time being, and when the war is more stable in a few days, I will go and ask the city guard here to find you a job in the infirmary, so that you can settle down." ”
When Deborah heard Liang Ke say this, she cried even more desolately.
"My lord, Deborah's medical skills are low, how can those medical halls use apprentices like me, my lord, you have pity on me, a woman abandoned by God, and leave me by your side, I am willing to make your laundry and make your bed, be your maid, please don't drive the lonely Deborah away, okay?"
Deborah looked up at Liang Ke's eyes with an earnest face, tears were like crystal pearls rolling down, that look was really pitiful, Liang Ke really couldn't resist the attack of beauty's tears, and looked at his subordinates for help, but the hateful thing was that several people either looked down at their toes, or looked up at the ceiling, only the honest Tucker grinned, and then nodded heavily. Liang Ke really wanted to go up and pick up a few feet from them, he usually could speak well with laughter, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb at critical moments, and there was no one who could share it for him.
"Ahem! That ...... This one...... If you really want to, you can stay here for the time being, but let's say okay, there is no need to serve me, and I am not used to being served by others. In addition, this is a military camp after all, you must abide by the rules of this place when entering and exiting, and usually move less, and when I return to the south, I will find a way to settle you. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Deborah was relieved to get Liang Ke's promise, and after thanking her, Tucker took her away, and the others went back to rest.
