Chapter 1131 Dilemma

"Unfortunately, with the strength of our company alone, we are not fully sure to save Elk Town, which is being besieged by a large group of monsters, so as soon as the interrogation of the old wolf Augustus is over, we sent a letter to Sir Laval, requesting to send troops to support Elk Town." Audrey whispered.

Joan nodded and asked, "How did Sir Laval reply?"

Audrey shrugged and spread her hands, a bitter look appeared on her handsome face.

"Captain Stone said in advance that it was useless to send a letter to Sir Laval. The Sir would never agree to send troops to rescue Elk Town, but he really guessed right."

"The Jazz wrote back to warn us not to make our own claims. He also said that he was very worried that the enemy's siege of Elk Town was just a cover, but they actually wanted to siege the town for reinforcements. If we send troops to support it, we will fall into a trap instead."

Joan frowned, vaguely feeling that Sir Laval's point of view was a bit far-fetched.

"After receiving the reply, we were all very disappointed, and Hailar was especially dissatisfied. He pointed out that Sir Laval's statement was groundless. It was just an excuse to worry about being surrounded and rescued. Worried about that, with the exception of Asa settlements?"

"Holden's opinion is similar to that of Hailar. He also believes that Sir Laval's refusal to rescue Elk Town is entirely out of discrimination against the Asa people."

After Audrey relayed the opinions of Hailar and Holden, she then expressed her own opinion.

"I don't want to question Sir Laval's decision, but from his background and past experience, it would be polite to say that he 'discriminates' against the Asai, but in fact he hates the Asai at all - even more than he hates the Asai. Those man-eating monsters!"

Joan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"If, as a child, I had witnessed my mother being shot with poisoned arrows by the Asa, I fear I would have hated all of that race and would have wiped them all from the land, not just Hate the murderer of my mother."

Audrey's face changed slightly, she held Joan's hand, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and finally just sighed.

"Actually, Sir Laval's open hatred of the Asa people is not only known to us, but also Trim of Winterhold has already known it. Perhaps it is because of this factor that he dared to send troops to besiege Elk Town with great fanfare, without worrying about the impending death. Abyssal Castle sent troops to the rescue."

Joan nodded and asked her: "In Sir's reply, what instructions did you give our company?"

"Sir Laval did not allow us to intervene in the conflict between Elk Town and Winterhold without authorization, but he authorized Captain Stone to lead a team to the outskirts of Elk Town to conduct reconnaissance, trying to figure out the reason why a large group of monsters besieged the town."

After hearing her words, Qiao An had a strange gleam in his eyes.

"Did you find out that this order is very contradictory. If the Jazz doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all, he shouldn't do anything extra. Send our company to Elk Town to investigate."

"Sir does not allow us to take the initiative to intervene in the conflict between the Asa clan and the forces of Winterhold. This sounds reasonable, but after careful consideration, there are loopholes-if the monsters of Winterhold take the initiative to attack us, can't we also take the initiative to resist? Can you just stretch your neck and wait for death?"

"If we resist and kill the people of Winterhold, they will definitely chase us for revenge, and we will be passively involved in disputes. Does this count as disobedience to military orders?"

Audrey smiled and nodded: "The possibility you thought of, we thought of it just now, so Hyrule and Holden forced Captain Stone to ask him to agree to send another 'short message technique' to Sir Laval, please ask for instructions." What would we do if a situation like the one you just mentioned happened."

"Our Mr. Captain knew that doing so would anger Sir Laval, so of course he didn't agree to send the letter. As a result, he quarreled with Hyrule and Holden. You heard it just now."

"I guess Mr. Captain intends this way: if he doesn't send this letter, he will have 'discretionary power' and can adapt to the situation on the battlefield. However, after sending this letter, Sir has made a clear answer, and he will There is no room for discretion, and things will become more troublesome, you know what I mean?"

Audrey blinked as a hint.

Qiao An nodded understandingly.

"Actually, I am also inclined to the captain's approach, but Hailaer and Holden are too ignorant, too serious, and only accept death. I thought the captain was timid and afraid, and he didn't want to intervene in the disputes in Elk Town, forcing him to It is impossible to send a letter, which makes Captain Stone very passive." Audrey spread her hands and smiled wryly, "This kind of thing can only be tacitly understood by everyone, and it is not decent to say it, so I have nothing to do."

Joan turned his head and glanced at the center of the warehouse, and found that Captain Stone, Hylar, and Holden had stopped arguing and sat there silently, all of them looked preoccupied and serious, as if they were waiting for the verdict in court.

The suffocating atmosphere was broken by a sudden wave of magic power, and a ball of red light emerged from above the wooden table where the three of them were sitting.

Captain Stone, Hyrule, and Holden all jumped up reflexively, and the three hands grabbed the red light ball at the same time.

"You two brats, do you understand the rules? Sit down for me!" Captain Stone glared.

Hailar and Holden looked at each other, retracted their hands in embarrassment, and sat back.

"That's more or less the same!" Captain Stone glanced at the two proudly, reached out and grabbed the red light ball loaded with the "messaging technique", and silently read the information.

"Mr. Captain, what did Sir say?" Audrey walked over holding Joan's hand and asked impatiently.

Captain Stone looked strange, took off his military cap and scratched his head, until the appetite of the young people was whetted, then he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, hurry up!" Hailaer couldn't help but jumped up from the seat, stamping his feet anxiously.

"Well... As expected, Sir Sir scolded me in his reply letter, saying that I am a rigid mind and a muscular bastard with a brain." Captain Stone answered vaguely with a pipe in his mouth.

"Then you can still laugh?" Holden was puzzled.

"You don't know Sir Alex. In fact, when he scolded me, it was like sending a clear signal."

On Captain Stone's unshaven face, there was a treacherous smile that went against his rough image and style.

"My lord said that my thinking is rigid, just to encourage me to be more flexible in doing things."

"Especially on the unpredictable frontline battlefield, commanders can't ask their superiors for everything. In order to ensure the safety of the company, they may adapt to the situation when necessary. Excuse me."
