Chapter 129 Knights Attack (Addition)

For the sake of safety, Major Green believed that it was necessary to ask Colonial Governor Sir John Norfolk and Garrison Commander General Charles Gates for instructions, but Captain Daniel objected in person, of course, because time did not allow it.

"From the barracks to the port of Layton, it will take a week to go back and forth for at least half a month, and then send troops with the authorization of the governor and commander. I am afraid that the town of Delin has already been burned to ruins, and the townspeople have been massacred. And we In the meantime, can we just watch the tragedy unfold and do nothing?"

Major Green knew his quick-tempered friend well enough to raise his second concern without arguing with Daniel.

"According to the information provided by Mr. Jason Tyndall's letter, the enemies in Delin Town not only include lizardmen, but also the goblins of the Screaming Forest will participate in this war. This means that we must deal with both 'cold-blooded' and ' Screaming, "The two major tribes are allied forces. It is conservatively estimated that the enemy's strength will not be less than a thousand, but we only have 300 cavalry here. Most of the soldiers have served for less than two years. They are just a group of rookies who lack actual combat experience. Frankly speaking , Even if our entire army attacks, it will be difficult to fight against the too powerful coalition of goblins and lizardmen, wouldn't it be like sending us to death if we attack rashly?"

Major Nathaniel Green's calm analysis silenced the dining room. In such a gloomy atmosphere, no one was in the mood to eat.

Major George Vassar's expression was as cold as ever, making it hard to see through his true thoughts. The young Captain Daniel blushed and stood up excitedly to argue with Green, but Major Vassar cast a stern look over him, forcing him to sit back and shut his mouth tightly in anger.

Tom exchanged glances with Brother Tyndale, unable to hide his disappointment. Roger cleared his throat, trying to persuade Vasa and Green to agree to send troops with his always admirable eloquence. However, the atmosphere at the scene was too dignified. Roger nervously went blank and opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.

Joan had expected such a situation a long time ago, and the charcoal pencil he carried came in handy. Using a snow-white napkin as the manuscript paper, he quickly drew up a pen to outline two responses to the concerns raised by Major Green just now, and then silently pushed the napkin in front of Roger.

Roger quickly glanced at the text on the napkin. With confidence in his heart, his brain and tongue were revitalized, he got up and bowed slightly to the three officers opposite him, and asked Major Vassar to allow him to speak impromptu.

Major Vassar nodded, signaling for him to speak freely.

Roger reconfirmed the debate summary listed on the napkin and looked confidently at Nathaniel Green.

"Major Green just mentioned that sending troops without authorization violates military discipline. This is a fact. However, please allow me to remind you honorable gentlemen that it is also against the code of chivalry, against the beliefs of paladins, and even against the principles of joining the army. The first promise to 'defend the homeland and fellow countrymen to the death'! Is military discipline more important than these? Or is it that in order not to offend superiors, soldiers can betray principles, beliefs and responsibilities, ignore suffering compatriots, and act as gangsters in fact? an accomplice?"

Roger's series of questions made Major Green's face change, and he tried his best not to refute. Daniel couldn't help clapping and applauding until Major Vassar's stern eyes forced him to silence.

"Well said, Mr. Tyndale, please go on," said George Vassar calmly.

"As for the second concern raised by Major Green, in fact, our town of Delin has already made preparations. The town has no less than two hundred militiamen who have received strict training and are well equipped. If necessary, we can recruit more than three hundred militiamen with service qualifications The young and strong townspeople participated in the battle! In fact, before we set off to deliver the letter, the town had already successfully repelled the first wave of offensive by the cold-blooded horde with its own armed force. Persimmon, we residents of Delin Town are definitely not cowards who only count on others to save us!"

Roger calmed down his excitement, and then said: "In addition, we also sent a letter of appeal to the Algonquin tribe who has always maintained friendly relations with Delin Town. If there is no accident, the tribe from Algonquin The Asa hunting cavalry in the valley is on their way to Delin Town at the moment. If gentlemen send troops to rescue Delin Town as soon as possible, the Knights will be able to attack the enemy on three sides with the cooperation of the Asa people and the Delin Town militia. defeat!"

"Will the Asa tribe also join the war..." Major Green pushed the frame of his glasses thoughtfully, and smiled frankly at Roger: "Young man, your eloquence is good, and you successfully persuaded me."

Roger scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's all thanks to Joan's reminder, I'm just a 'talking tube'."

Major Green looked deeply at Joan, as if he was wondering why this one-eyed young mage knew how to persuade the other party, why he didn't speak in person, but expressed his opinion through other people's mouths.

Joan lowered her head to avoid the sight of Mr. Major, pretending to be nonchalant.

Since both Daniel and Green agreed to rescue the town of Delin, George Vasa no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the messenger to blow the assembly horn, and within half an hour, 300 heavily armed imperial cavalry lined up on the square The assembly is complete.

George Vassar rode on his tall white horse nicknamed "Nelson", followed by Green and Daniel, and led the cavalry to embark on the journey in the morning light.

Brothers Joan, Weiss, Tom and Tyndall also mounted their horses and set off with the knights. Gray and Jamie didn't need to ride horses, they galloped right behind Joan.

The Knights set off on the morning of March 25, 1620, and galloped north along the Derlin Valley. On the way, they were careful when passing the outskirts of the Screaming Forest. During the night, there were sentries around the camp to guard against goblin attacks. Perhaps it was because the defense was too strict, most of the goblins and bandits lurking in the dense forest were bullying and afraid of hard things, knowing that they couldn't get cheap, they simply hid far away.

They were not disturbed during the march, and continued on the road after sleeping overnight. By around four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the Knights had passed through the dense forest, and the scout team at the front station was only less than 50 miles away from Delin Town. The road conditions for the next journey are better, running along the wide and flat river beach, and the large troops will reach Delin Town in at most two hours.

The closer he was to home, the more anxious Joan felt. He couldn't help worrying that the reinforcements would arrive too late and his hometown would be in ruins. When worrying about gains and losses, there was a hoarse bird song in the air, and when I looked up, a crow was flying towards this side. The crow circled a few times in the air, seemed to recognize Joan, folded its wings and swooped straight towards him.
