"Didn't you understand what I just said? Your task is to prepare food and fresh water, and I am responsible for delivering these things to Gladstone to solve his urgent need."
Although he still had doubts, Alexander did as he was told.
After all, it was the chief assistant's order, and he had to obey it.
In order to save time, he chose to exchange the white flour for steamed buns with the residents of the city in equal amounts. Two hundred and fifty baskets and five tanks of water were piled at the city gate.
"We don't know what Commander Gladstone is thinking? He actually let this kid serve as the chief assistant to Her Royal Highness the Princess? At this level of governance, he is not as good as me? Although we can only farm." The Lord of Alexandria couldn't bear it.
Just say a few words of ridicule.
Apart from being young, this chief assistant really doesn't have any other abilities.
However, he is very similar to Gladstone in character, both arrogant and conceited and unable to listen to the advice of others.
The final result could even be predicted in advance. Chen Feng led his team out of the city gate and was crushed to pieces by the Elephant Cavalry of the Pants Industry Clan.
"Are you all ready?" After saying a brief farewell to Liya, Chen Feng went down the stone stairs to the city gate.
"Although our Riyan Tower is not short of food, it is difficult to get together the freshly steamed steamed buns and rice in a short time. We only got these two hundred and fifty baskets."
Although Alexander waited to see Chen Feng's jokes and made sarcastic remarks behind his back, his attitude was still respectful in front of him.
"These are enough." Chen Feng immediately ordered people to put the basket on the horse, intending to be led by the knight.
But for this difficult task, there was no sword-wielding knight in the Sun Flame Tower who was willing to follow Chen Feng.
Everyone is as clear as a mirror. If they leave the city gate, it means they may never return.
Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to die.
"I know there are dangers outside, but if we don't leave the city, Lord Gladstone will face the trap of running out of ammunition and food, and the 50,000 brother knights will starve to death and thirst. This is what you all want to see.
Result?"
Chen Feng tried to use words to mobilize the defenders in the city.
The Forbidden Army and the Templar Knights led by him rushed to the Sun Flame Tower from King Monti City. After traveling for several days and nights, they were already exhausted and were not suitable for another expedition.
Outside the Riyan Tower, in addition to the vast plains, there are more endless mountains that require local people to serve as guides.
"First Assistant, we are willing to go!"
The only four hundred Templars left to undertake this mission have noble blood and are willing to die for the Monty Kingdom and Gladstone.
Consciously take off his armor and stand by where he is.
"No, you have to fix it!"
Chen Feng resolutely rejected the Templars' request.
It was more than 400 miles to run from King Monti City to Sun Flame Pagoda, and I didn’t have any extra energy to carry food on the rugged mountain road.
"First and Auxiliary Minister, brothers are not afraid of death, but brothers do not want to die in vain. Before you came, the city lord sent ten knights one after another to try to open an opening for Commander Gladstone to retreat.
But the result was the same, they were all buried in the wasteland outside the city.
Even the light cavalry can't break through the elephant formation, but now you want someone to lead the horse forward? You may have stayed in the palace of King Monti for a long time and have not experienced cruel actual combat."
An old cook in the knights expressed everyone's concerns.
The implication is that Chen Feng can only talk on paper. He stands on the tower and uses ridiculous and low-end tactics to direct the knights to die.
"Yes, Chief Assistant, what he said makes sense. No one wants to die in vain." Lord Alexander took the opportunity to answer.
"Then put the steamed buns and fresh water flat on the wooden board and fasten them together with ropes. I'll go by myself."
"First Minister, you mean that you should lead the team yourself."
All the defenders present were shocked and incredulous.
The chief auxiliary minister of the Monti Kingdom, who has the important task of assisting the crown prince, has a respected status and ranks fourth in the country, second only to the Pope, King and the supreme commander of the country.
How noble is your status? That you have to risk your life?
Thinking of this, the defenders' hearts boiled with excitement. They gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, "We believe that the chief minister is willing to accompany you to fight to the death on the battlefield."
In an instant, a complete cavalry team was assembled.
"Chief Assistant, this is inappropriate. You have to guard the Sun Flame Tower. How can you take such a risk?"
The Lord of Alexandria's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe that these words were actually spoken by a frail young man with a fair face?
"What this means is that you want to fight for me?"
"I...I'm afraid I am too weak to do what I want. I am old and my legs and feet are inconvenient. Otherwise, I would have personally led the team to rescue Commander Gladstone."
Lord Alexander broke into a cold sweat, fearing that Chen Feng would really ask him to die.
"Don't waste any more time, and don't talk about death. I promise you that I will bring you and the fifty thousand knights back to the Sun Flame Tower alive."
The city gate slowly opened, and Chen Feng walked to the other side of the suspension bridge, closely followed by the horse team transporting grain.
In the distance, smoke and dust filled the air, and the figures of the elephant cavalry could be vaguely seen. They were ready in formation, waiting to kill the knights leaving the city.
The sword-wielding knight holding the horse behind him was so frightened that his legs and feet were shaking and he really wanted to slap himself.
Why do you get so hot that you come here to die?
"The air in the morning is so fresh!" Chen Feng stretched.
"Could it be that the chief assistant wanted to fight against the elephant array with one pair of legs? That is a mammoth. It can trample an orc to death with one kick, let alone a smaller human being." Alexander sighed and mourned for Chen Feng.
"Can you please be quiet? If you talk too much, I will throw you into the moat to feed the fish."
Liya was worried about Chen Feng's safety and felt uneasy.
Next to her, Alexander was chattering again, which made her very unhappy and she scolded him angrily.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, I will shut up right now."
Seeing the anger on Princess Leia's pretty face, Alexander wisely took off the socks from his feet, stuffed them into his mouth in front of her.
"Are you afraid?" Chen Feng turned around and looked behind him. The sword-wielding knights all nodded instinctively.
"It's normal to be afraid, but it's abnormal not to be afraid in the face of cavalry. If I said that I could kill all the elephant formations of the Pants Industry clan with one person's power, would you believe it?"
"There may be opportunities in mountainous areas, but this open area..."
The knights looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "It's shameful to say that we once fought against the elephant formation. A lone elephant cavalry captured two thousand of our elite knights. Facing such a huge monster, we can only avoid it.
There is no other tactic except this."
"Then please follow me and see how I torture and kill them?"
Chen Feng took out the Tiger from the metal card and drove it to lead the way. The cavalry followed behind, always keeping a distance of twenty meters.
