Facts have proved that the so-called consideration given by the old general is only verbal consideration.
After leaving the conference room this time, he didn't even meet the extraordinary people here again. In his old mind, these guys with superhuman strength were just special soldiers who only needed to obey his orders.
.
So at the end of the day, only one messenger came here, responsible for informing everyone present about the departure with the army tomorrow morning.
Herbert seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and said nothing more. He just stayed quietly with Karl and the others, waiting to set off with the army tomorrow morning.
After all, if you really go to the battlefield, it is understandable that you lose contact due to some accident or other factors, right?
But for Karl and others, this is not the worst.
Because at noon the next day, when many extraordinary beings had already set off, Herbert and Carl were stopped again in the extraordinary group.
It was still the young soldier who went to pick them up at the station yesterday. This time he ran to Herbert in such a hurry and began to speak out the instructions he had received.
"Mr. Herbert, the General requires you to return immediately. Please come with me quickly."
Looking at the soldier standing in front of him, Herbert said with a dark face:
"Lord Redvers wants me to go back? Now?"
The soldier nodded: "Yes, this is your general's order."
"Did your Excellency the General mention Karl and the others?"
"Sorry, you are the only one in the order."
After getting the answer, Herbert turned back and looked at Carl and Cyril tangledly, and then asked:
"I hope you can come with me. What are your wishes?"
Now asking Karl and the others to go with General Redvers would be suspected of disobeying orders.
Herbert was a little unsure about Karl's attitude, so he asked this question.
If these two people were not going to listen to him and disobey Redvers' orders, he would not force them to do anything. After all, the other party was the commander-in-chief of the South African Expeditionary Force, and it was understandable that he did not want to offend such people.
And to be honest, Herbert was used to crusading against heretics alone, this time it was just like usual.
But unlike his expected rejection of his answer, Karl agreed to his suggestion after he asked, and even Ceryl on the side also agreed.
"Then let's go together." Karl, who was standing in front of him, nodded immediately after seeing Herbert's eyes: "We still have important things to do, so it is naturally better to work together now."
Cyril, who was standing aside, also said, "Of course, no problem. I also want to see what other bad ideas this mortal has."
Seeing the reactions of the two Karls, Herbert suddenly smiled relaxedly.
"You two are indeed devout and loyal people. It was really my mistake to ask such a question."
As he said that, he bowed to Karl and the others, and then continued to lead the way. The three of them completely ignored the soldier's voice of "General, you only want you to go alone" and took the initiative to sit in the car he drove.
Pointing to the street outside, Herbert said coldly to the soldier: "Drive."
"Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Looking at the three people with tough attitudes, the young soldier shrugged and sat in the driver's seat helplessly, and took the three of them back with him familiarly.
This time was different from yesterday. The young soldier drove them away directly after arriving with them. It seemed that he had other tasks.
The three Karls were taken inside the building by a low-level staff officer they had never seen before, and came to a new room.
In addition to a long table in the center and the map on it, there is also a lot of military equipment. Many low-level staff officers are busy here, and even a few of the guys who surrounded General Redvers yesterday were here.
This, but there was no trace of him.
This should be the staff headquarters temporarily established in Durban.
Herbert looked at the staff officer who brought them here and asked in a low voice: "Where is Mr. Redvers now? Don't you want to see me?"
"Because you have just arrived in Durban, your Excellency the General is very busy with his affairs. He should still be talking to important local people."
In answer to Herbert's question, the staff officer took out his pocket watch and looked at it.
"But you can rest assured that the General will definitely come back here tonight. You just need to wait patiently."
It turned out that Redvers had already left here, and he sent someone to bring Herbert back. In addition to giving him some instructions, he probably wanted to teach him a lesson by leaving him here for a long time.
As a veteran general, Redvers fully demonstrated his arrogance and poor attitude towards extraordinary beings. It seems that although he did not directly react with disgust, he was still concerned about what he heard from Herbert yesterday.
Sure enough, I still hold a grudge.
Of course, Fen Yiguan was not so easy to dismiss. After hearing the staff officer's answer, he immediately asked:
"My time cannot be wasted here. Please tell me where Lord Redvers is. I will go find him right away."
"I'm sorry." The staff officer bowed unapologetically, and then said in a calm tone: "The general's whereabouts are not something we can know. I'm sorry that I can't do anything about it."
After saying that, he turned around and joined the staff here and started his work. It seemed that he had no intention of paying any attention to Herbert and the others.
Looking at Herbert, who looked solemn, Karl suggested: "How about we find a way to find someone else to ask about this guy's whereabouts?"
"I'm afraid no one wants to offend that person, so we'd better wait here."
After waving his hand, Herbert found a chair and sat on it.
The three people thus began their boring waiting work.
Sure enough, as the staff officer said, the three of them did not see General Redvers throughout the afternoon, and they did not even hear from him.
Moreover, the people in the staff seemed to be unable to see the three of them, and were still working intensively at their own pace. The three Karls stayed here like transparent people, and no one cared about them.
It wasn't until night came and the sun was about to set that Karl suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
After hearing the sound, he immediately said to his companions: "There are people coming outside, and there are a lot of them. It may be him."
Then the door opened, and it turned out that Redvers had returned here surrounded by a group of people.
After seeing the three people on the staff, the old general raised his eyebrows in a rare move and asked in a bad tone:
