Herbert, who was walking at the front, looked at everyone around him who greeted him, and nodded to these people very politely.
"Everyone, I didn't expect to meet you all here."
After looking around for a week, Herbert said hello calmly.
"May I ask who were the first to accept Lieutenant General George's invitation? Because we just got off the train, we don't know the details here yet."
After Fen Yiguan raised the question, the room fell silent instantly, and then a woman dressed as a judge took a step forward and walked up to Herbert.
"I was the first one to come here. I received the order two days ago and have been on standby here."
After indicating that he was the first to arrive here, the judge continued:
"Lieutenant General George has led people to Ladysmith this morning. In fact, we haven't set off yet because Admiral Redvers will come here with tens of thousands of troops. According to him, we will need to form a direct
A wartime group at the general's disposal."
There was actually a name in this passage that Karl knew.
That is General Redvers. His full name is Redvers Henry Buller. He is one of the important generals of the British army in this era.
He once participated in commanding the British's war against the Zulu, the First Boer War and the Egyptian War and many other battles. He also suppressed the local uprising in Ireland, which is quite famous.
When Herbert heard this name, he rarely raised his eyebrows and continued to ask:
"When will the general get here?"
"According to previous intelligence, he will be here tomorrow at the latest."
After finishing speaking, the female judge added: "According to the intelligence we know, General Redvers is the commander-in-chief of the South African Expeditionary Force this time."
After hearing the news, Herbert pondered for a moment, and then gave brief instructions to the extraordinary beings around him:
"You haven't seen the three of us today, please excuse me."
"Karl, Cyril, let's get out of here as soon as possible."
After saying that, he decisively turned around, opened the door and turned to leave. The extraordinary people in the room just watched the three people leaving with complicated expressions, and no one said anything.
What is going on?
Following Herbert, Karl was also a little confused. He had agreed to Lieutenant General George's invitation to come here before, but now he suddenly changed his attitude after mentioning Redvers.
Not to mention staying to help, seeing what he meant, he wasn't even prepared to accept the meeting.
Could it be that Redvers has a grudge against him?
After walking out of the room, the waiter outside saw the three of them leaving and immediately came to greet them.
"Sir, do you need any help..."
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Herbert and fell limply against the wall.
Seeing such eager Herbert, Karl finally couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Herbert, why are we in such a hurry to leave here suddenly?"
After hearing his question, Herbert went downstairs and explained to Karl.
"If Lieutenant General George gives us an order, then we can just deal with it casually, and we can even get some help from him;"
"But now it's completely different if it's Redvers. Considering his identity, we must obey orders. If it doesn't make sense, we may lose the key opportunity to defeat the false god, so we have to leave now."
"Lord Herbert is really joking. How could I be so unhuman?"
Just as they went down to the first floor, an old but powerful voice sounded from the other end.
Karl looked toward the voice and saw that an elderly officer was walking over surrounded by several people.
"That's him."
Herbert whispered something, and then stepped forward helplessly.
"Lord Redvers, it's an honor to meet you."
He is actually General Redvers!
The person I just mentioned is actually here now, and he appears directly in front of them!
Seeing Herbert walking over, Karl had no choice but to pull Ceryl and follow him.
The old man named Redvers looked at Herbert with a smile, seemingly not caring at all about what he just heard.
"If Mr. Herbert has something important to do, I will definitely understand him, but it is rare for us to meet each other now, so why not go up and chat slowly."
Taking the question lightly, the old general walked up with a group of people, giving Herbert no chance to refuse.
"well."
Sighing, Herbert waved to Karl.
"Let's go."
This time, there was absolutely nothing they could do, and the three of them had no choice but to follow the group of people back to the second floor.
Under the guidance of the officers around him, Redvers went directly to the house that Karl and the others had entered just now. The waiter who was knocked unconscious by Herbert was even lying on the ground without being noticed.
Although such a big person was lying under his feet, the old general stepped over as if he couldn't see it, and then pushed open the door of the conference room.
At the same time, the officers behind him walked out consciously, and together they lifted the unconscious waiter up and took him away from the second floor.
When everyone sat down in the conference room, the old general clapped his hands.
Someone next to him immediately opened a map and laid it out neatly on the table in the conference room.
"This is the map now."
The old general knocked on the table, and then continued: "George will launch an attack on Ladysmith today. I estimate that he will be able to deal with the enemies entrenched there today, so I plan to follow up with 20,000 reinforcements tomorrow to occupy
Here we also control the surrounding areas."
As he spoke, Redvers marked three points on the map, located at three key locations on the railway near Ladysmith.
"Because those damn Boers also have power that is difficult for ordinary people to deal with, so I hope that everyone here can be divided into three teams to protect important generals in the army and prevent the other side from launching beheading tactics."
As he spoke, the old general smiled at the extraordinary beings present and continued:
"The lives of this old man and many of his colleagues are in your hands."
"yes!"
In response to the old general's words, many extraordinary people stood up and responded.
Only Karl and the three of them remained calm and didn't say a word.
Looking at the extraordinary beings who responded to him, Redvers said with a smile:
"Then everyone prepares first, and I will come back to talk to you in detail later."
Then he gave Herbert a meaningful look, then stood up and left the conference room. The officer beside him also put away the map and followed immediately.
This old general only said these two short sentences when he came here, and at the same time he didn't mention a word of what Herbert just said!
