Chapter 53 Alyssa's Apology
The Empire of Britannia, on the straight road to the Kingdom of Lund.
After a short break at noon, the 100,000-strong relief force set foot on the straight road again and advanced toward the battlefield.
At this time, the 10th Army was at the forefront.
Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer, and Alan rode horses side by side.
"It's really too miserable..." Alan, who was riding the horse, lowered his head, "Mr. Nicholas is too good at lecturing..."
"I told you not to spar with Alyssa." Su Cheng said, "You just don't listen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Cheng realized that he seemed to have gone too far, so he raised his hand and stroked Alan's little head, and Alan leaned his head in the direction of Su Cheng.
"Okay, don't be sad." Su Cheng consoled him, "It's just a lesson. It's great that there isn't any substantial punishment."
"Yeah, that's true."
Just now, Alan and Alyssa were discovered by a soldier while they were fighting each other, and they quickly ran to notify Nicholas.
After Nicholas heard the news, he immediately rushed to the knights whom he hated most. The soldiers were still fighting privately when the army was going out.
When Nicholas arrived, he naturally gave Alyssa and Alan a scolding, and also gave Su Cheng a scolding for not taking good care of his knight retinue.
Su Cheng paid special attention to the time. Nicholas trained for nearly 30 minutes before letting Alyssa and Alan go.
However, the punishment they received was just a scolding, without any other substantive punishment. This is really a blessing among misfortunes.
"However, Miss Alyssa is really powerful." Deng Jiaer said at the side, "She is both civil and military, wise and brave, and her reputation as a champion of the three armies is really not just a boast."
"Hmph, so what." Alan showed a proud expression, "In the end, he was suppressed by me and chopped away by me."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the three of them.
"I have learned my lesson. If you want to win against me next time, it won't be so easy."
The three of them immediately turned to look at the sound.
"Miss Alyssa?" Su Cheng asked, "Aren't you in the middle of the 10th Army column? How did you get to the front?"
Alyssa drove the horse and stomped slowly to the three of them.
"I came to the front of the team because I have something to say to you and Alan."
"Do you have something to tell Alan and me?" Su Cheng had doubts on his face.
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alyssa lowered her head in the direction of Alan, and then said: "I'm sorry, Alan, I calmed down a little bit just now and realized that I did speak too much and too rushed today. I shouldn't
I apologize for speaking like this to you and your brother."
After hearing Alyssa's apology, Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer, and Alan were all shocked.
In fact, Alan is the kind of person whose temper comes and goes quickly. At the same time, he doesn't hold grudges very much, so the anger she just felt towards Alyssa has now been completely extinguished.
Alan, who had long since stopped being angry, seemed a little at a loss when faced with Alyssa's sudden apology.
Just when Alan was at a loss, Alyssa added: "I haven't defeated you yet, so please continue to compete with me in the future."
After saying that, Alyssa turned her head to Su Cheng again, and then lowered her head towards Su Cheng.
"I'm sorry, Su Cheng. I don't know why, from half a month ago to now, I always have a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart. This uncomfortable feeling makes me very irritable, so it makes me feel uncomfortable recently.
My speech was very irritable and hurtful. I have reflected on it just now, so I also apologize to you and hope you can forgive me."
Su Cheng quickly waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't care at all about what you said to me before, so there's no need to apologize. Just raise your head."
After Alyssa raised her head, she said seriously: "Okay, now it's time to get down to business. Tonight, Commander Nicholas will convene all military commanders and deputy commanders for a military meeting, so Su Cheng, don't forget it."
After listening to Alyssa's words, Su Cheng also said seriously: "Yes, I remember it."
Then, Alyssa turned the horse's head and returned to the middle of the 10th Army column.
Looking at Alyssa's leaving back, Alan said: "I originally thought that Miss Alyssa was the kind of person who was very arrogant and would refuse to admit even if she made a mistake, but I didn't expect that she was not such a person.
Take the initiative to reflect on your own mistakes, and when you realize that you have made a mistake, you will also take the initiative to apologize to others."
Alan raised his head and looked at Su Cheng and said, "I have changed my opinion of her a little, and I have a good impression of her."
"Ah, me too." Su Cheng looked at the direction Alyssa left with a faint smile on his face, "I have changed my opinion of her a little bit, she is also very lovable."
…
At this time, outside Heron City, there was the headquarters of the Carolingian Kingdom's 80,000-strong army.
All the senior generals of the army gathered in the commander's tent.
In the middle of the coach's tent, there was a large wooden table with a detailed map on it. Oil lamps were placed around the wooden table, illuminating the map on the wooden table.
The senior generals of the army gathered around this wooden table and listened attentively to Allen's explanation.
Allen placed his left hand on the wooden table, stretched out his index finger on his right hand, pressed it against the square marked "Pendragon" on the map, and then said:
"According to intelligence, the Britannian Empire has sent troops to rescue the Kingdom of Lund. It has dispatched one-third of the troops of the Gabriel Knights, totaling 100,000 troops. The leader is still unknown, but according to my guess,
For such an important mission, an army of this size, and all soldiers are soldiers of the Gabriel Knights, there is a high probability that Nicholas, the deputy commander of the Gabriel Knights, will serve as the commander-in-chief."
As soon as Allen finished speaking, some generals gathered around the wooden table swallowed and whispered:
"The strongest knights are actually dispatched. If Nicholas, a veteran general, is really the commander-in-chief, then this battle will not be easy to fight."
"Isn't the strongest knighthood in the Britannian Empire the Knights of Michael?"
"Not anymore, idiot."
Er'er, who was standing next to Allen, frowned, looked at the generals who were whispering to each other, and said angrily:
"It's not time for you to speak yet!"
After hearing Er's angry rebuke, the generals who were whispering to each other immediately shut their mouths obediently.
At this time, Allen continued to talk:
"They will definitely go straight to the rescue."
As Allen spoke, his finger moved along a black line on the map.
"The total distance is 1,000 miles. If they go straight, it will only take 13 to 15 days. That means we will fight them in half a month."
The generals all swallowed their saliva in unison.
Allen raised his head and looked at the generals.
"Do you have any strategies to defeat Britannia? You might as well tell me now."
The generals looked at each other, and the last old general with white hair and beard said: "Commander, if the Britannia army wants to come to rescue Heron City, then they must pass through Fuhe!"
After saying that, the older general stretched out his finger and pressed it against a thick blue line on the map.
This thick blue line is very close to the square marked "Heron City", with the words "Fuhe" marked on it.
"Although the Fu River is very long, the only place suitable for a large army to cross the river is the Yilun Ferry! Except for the Yilun Ferry, the water in the rest of the Fu River is too deep and too fast, making it impossible to cross the river."
The elderly general moved his finger and touched a certain place on Fuhe River.
"So I think," the older general continued, "we leave 20,000 troops to continue the siege of Heron City, and lead the main force of 60,000 to the Ilon Ferry of Fuhe. With the geographical advantage, we can even out the number of people
Disadvantage!"
The elder general's strategy won the support of the vast majority of people, and many people nodded gently.
"Do you rely on the geographical location..."
Allen looked at the map and murmured.
The older general looked at Allen nervously.
Allen looked at the map in silence, and after a while he said, "It's a good strategy."
After hearing Allen's praise, the older general showed a relieved expression.
However, Allen suddenly leaned down, placed his fingers on the thick blue line marking "Fuhe", and slid his fingers all the way up the line.
Although the generals didn't know what Allen was going to do, they all watched with bated breath as Allen's fingers continued to slide upstream along the "river".
Soon, Allen slid to the end of the upper reaches of the "river".
Then Allen put away his fingers, crossed his arms over his chest, raised his head, and closed his eyes tightly.
After seeing Allen's appearance, Er'er, who had worked with Allen for a long time, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Because he knew that this was Allen's habitual action, and he would make such an action when he was thinking.
And when Allen makes such an action, he often comes up with some clever strategies.
So Er couldn't help but become curious, wanting to see what kind of clever strategy Allen could come up with this time, so that they, who were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, could defeat the Britannian army.
Although the generals of the Carolingian Kingdom in the big tent did not know what Allen was doing, after seeing Er's gesture of "please be silent" to them, they all calmed down obediently and waited slowly.
With Allen.
After a while, Allen suddenly opened his eyes!
"Er! Come with me!"
"General Allen, where are we going?"
"Go to Fuhe!"
"Fuhe?" Er'er looked surprised.
"I'm going to Fuhe to see something," Allen said as he strode out of the tent. "If my guess is correct, we can defeat the Britannia army in a few hours! Even kill them.
Chapter completed!
