"Even if I don't need to explain in detail, you should know that the task of the troops responsible for the southbound forces is the most difficult."

"We must not only defeat Allen's rebels and protect Pandragon, but also advance eastward to defeat the Frank army that is still entrenched on the Rhineland Plain."

"So, in order to ensure the winning rate, I decided to lead the 110,000 troops of the Knights of Michael to the south."

"Leave 10,000 people to defend Muhavits fortress to block the southern invasion of the Sheeran army."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, everyone, including Willie, showed surprise on his face.

Because they all knew that there were too few troops Su Cheng stayed on the northern front.

According to the information sent back by spies and scouts lurking in the Holy Hillan Empire, the Holy Hillan Empire mobilized more than 80,000 troops this time.

Su Cheng only plans to leave 10,000 generals on the northern front, which means that the troops left on the northern front will face 8 times, or even more than 8 times, enemy troops...

Even if there are giant fortresses like Muhaviz Fortress to rely on, it will definitely be a tragic battle.

But Willie and the others also understood Su Cheng's choice.

Because judging from the current severe situation, it is already the limit to leave 10,000 troops on the northern front.

On the side of Pandragorn and on the Rhine Front, there are stronger enemies waiting for them to resolve the Knights of Michael...

If too many troops were left on the northern front, there would be no sufficient combat power to fight against Allen's rebels and the hundreds of thousands of Frankish troops.

"It is not easy to stop the Sheeran army from the south."

At this time, Su Cheng continued to say in a deep voice.

"So--I plan to entrust the mission of defending the northern front to one of you five."

Su Cheng moved his gaze, slashing across the faces of the five people, Raymond, Samuel, Gary, Del, and Deng Jiaer.

"I can only feel at ease if I entrust one of you five for such a difficult task."

"I plan to entrust this task to Samuel."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Samuel, the commander of the 2nd Army.

Samuel is the most beloved general among all the commanders, except Alisa, Deng Jiaer and Raymond.

Therefore, the general was not surprised by Su Cheng's appointment.

Although Samuel has a casual personality, he has strong personal abilities. He will definitely complete the tasks entrusted to him successfully.

Such a difficult task is indeed very suitable for Samuel.

After hearing Su Cheng's appointment, Samuel raised his eyebrows first.

Then he raised his hand and scratched his hair.

"I know……"

Before Samuel's last syllable "I understand" could be released, a female voice that no one expected would appear suddenly sounded behind Samuel.

"Captain! Please hand over the task of defending the northern front...ah, no, give it to the subordinate!"

As soon as the female voice fell, everyone, including Su Cheng, casted their eyes full of surprise and surprised.

Among them, Samuel's eyes contain the most surprise.

The owner of this female voice was Del, the commander of the 4th Army, sitting behind Samuel.

After everyone focused their eyes on her, Del turned his tongue and tried hard to speak the unwilling respectful words, saying loudly again:

"Captain! Please hand over the task of defending the northern front to the lower officials! The lower officials assure you--a Sheeran will never be allowed to pass through the Eighar Corridor!"

After saying that, Del turned his head and said to Samuel:

"Sorry, Samuel, please give me this task."

As soon as Del finished speaking, Samuel, who was sitting in front of her, said angrily:

"Del, what are you doing?"

"Even if you follow the regiment commander south, you still have many opportunities to achieve military achievements."

"I'm not fighting for you for such a boring reason." Del's tone was a little unhappy.

"...Del." At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly spoke.

Su Cheng's tone was quite calm.

He asked Del in a calm tone:

"Are you really going to take on the mission of defending the northern front to the death?"

Del raised his head and looked directly at Su Cheng.

"Yeah." Dele nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'm already awakened. Team leader, please hand over this task to me!"

Del's tone was already filled with a hint of pleading.

"Captain, don't worry about her." Samuel said to Su Cheng, "You can take Del to the south too, and just hand over the northern front to me."

Su Cheng ignored Samuel's words.

Instead, he looked quietly at Dele, who was looking directly at him without showing any weakness.

After a while, Su Cheng gave an answer that surprised and shockedly appeared on everyone present's faces again.

"Okay, then the task of defending the northern front will be handed over to you."

"I will allocate 10,000 troops from the 4th Army to you."

"You just use the 10,000 troops of the 4th Army to defend the northern front tightly."

"Stay on until the Sheeran army retreats, or we come back."

"Can you do it?"

Su Cheng's answer made Dele a little stunned.

Then, a look of ecstasy surged out of his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yes!" Del stood up and whispered to Su Cheng as he saluted their Britannian Empire, "I...ah, no, the official promises you that the official will definitely guard the northern front beautifully! Never let any Sheeran soldiers pass through the Eghar Corridor!"

"Samuel." Su Cheng turned his head and said to Samuel, who is still in a shocked state and has not yet come back to his senses. "I have decided to hand over the task of defending the Northern Front to Del."

"Samuel, go south with me."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Samuel said anxiously:

"Captain! Why do you want to hand over the task of guarding the northern front to Dele? The subordinates did not doubt Dele's personal abilities, nor did they want to seize credit, but..."

Before Samuel's question was completely finished, Su Cheng took the lead and raised his hand to stop Samuel's words and interrupted Samuel's words.

"Samuel, I understand that you have some doubts about this appointment of mine."

"But, I've made up my mind about it."

"I don't plan to make any changes to my appointment."

"The task of guarding the northern front is handed over to Del - this decision is not to be discussed in the future."

After saying that, Su Cheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the current time.

"Let's go on a temporary date now."

As Su Cheng said, he stuffed the pocket watch back into his pocket.

"It's been a long time since the meeting is held, and it's time to take a break."

"From now, take a 20-minute break."
