"Okay." After listening to Bibi's words, Richard cut the maw of the fried fish and the wings of the roasted chicken and stuffed them into the other party.
Bibi swallowed it all in one gulp, chewed it a few times, and spit out the fish bones and chicken bones easily. The remaining parts disappeared completely in her mouth - she obviously had no stomach, and she didn't know where they went.
Richard took a look and was a little curious, but he was too lazy to study this mechanism. After all, he was busy with too many things at the moment. Baltavin and the extraordinary factor alone were important enough. As for the special doll Bibi, although it is good, it is only good and cannot be compared with either Baltavin or the extraordinary factor.
Therefore, you can study the Bibi doll when you are bored in your free time, and forget it for now.
In this way, Richard ate his breakfast. Occasionally, amidst Bibi's shouts, he cut off a certain part of the food and fed it to the other party.
One minute, two minutes, one third...
Time passed, and soon the breakfast was coming to an end. Richard was about to finish his breakfast by eating the last piece of white bread, when a report from his subordinates sounded outside the door.
"Master Richard, General Sauron has sent someone to inform you that he would like to ask you to go to the command room immediately after breakfast to participate in the latest supreme military intelligence meeting."
"Okay, I understand." Richard responded.
"Yes." The subordinate replied and retreated.
Richard stood up, stretched out his hand to put the bread into his mouth, and walked out.
As a result, before taking any steps, a voice came from the side.
Bibi opened her mouth as wide as possible, stared straight at the piece of bread in Richard's hand, and made a sound of "ah". The meaning of the expression was clear at a glance - give it to me, I want to eat it!
"You eat all this? Don't you only like to eat meat?"
"Who said that, I also like to eat bread, ah-"
Richard shook his head, too lazy to argue with Bibi, and threw the bread towards Bibi.
Bibi opened her mouth, bit it accurately, and quickly swallowed it, showing a satisfied expression.
"Okay, breakfast is over." Richard said, "I'm going out for a trip. You'd better be honest, otherwise I will consider gagged you again."
"knew."
"That's good, bang!" Richard closed the lid of the wooden box with one hand and walked out.
…
Not long after, Richard arrived at the command room where he had been before and saw Solon Bonaparte, the commander-in-chief of the army.
Sauron seemed to have not slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot, but his face did not look tired, and there was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes. Seeing Richard's arrival, he pointed to the sand table without any hesitation: "Your Excellency Richard, let me tell you about the latest situation."
"Okay." Richard nodded and walked to the sand table.
Sauron took out a wooden stick, pointed on the sand table and started talking. Within a few minutes, he explained clearly and concisely what happened that night.
The first was the infiltration of the troops from the Sika Kingdom. Forced by the mobilization of the alliance army, they had no choice but to move eastward. They were already close to the planned Gotha City. It would not take long for them to launch an actual offensive and annihilate them.
On this matter, it went very smoothly.
Another thing that didn't go well was the authentic search.
Within the predetermined area, including the five miles that Richard expanded, a large number of troops searched repeatedly, but except for a few abandoned cellars, caves, and secret rooms, no trace of underground passages was found.
After putting a little weight on the sand table with a wooden stick, Sauron looked at Richard with a solemn look and asked: "Your Excellency Richard, what do you think is better to do next?"
"Well -" Richard naturally had the answer in his mind, but in order to avoid being too rash, he deliberately pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I suggest that we continue to expand the search range northward, tentatively determined to be ten miles."
"Continue heading north?" Before Sauron could express his opinion, a staff officer next to him spoke up. Richard looked over and saw that it was the white-robed staff officer who had met him before.
Although only two people attended the Supreme Military Intelligence Conference, the staff officers were also qualified to make suggestions. Richard now also knew the identity of the other party. He was considered the first staff officer in the entire command room, also known as the chief of staff. More vividly, he was Sauron's strategist.
The other party's official position may not be high, but in fact his status is not low, and he is considered Sauron's confidant. That's why Sauron sent the other party to invite him to the first Supreme Military Intelligence Conference to express his concern. Now that the other party is speaking, it's not out of line, but it's just a little abrupt.
After all, it stands to reason that Sauron should express his position first, and then the other party should follow suit.
"Mr. Kun, right?" Richard looked at the other person and knew that the other person was called Kun Darcy. He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have a different opinion?"
"Your Excellency Richard, please forgive me for my offense." The other party spoke out with a solemn expression. The nasolabial folds on his face became extremely obvious. The gaze from a pair of light blue eyes was very firm and he said, "I have no intention of questioning you. Wisdom, I just want to tell you from some basic information that it is not a wise idea to continue searching north.
Because the further north you go, the closer you are to the residential village, the lower the chance of the passage exit being discovered. After all, the enemy will never be stupid enough to put the passage entrance under our noses. In this way, instead of continuing to explore north, which consumes a lot of manpower, it is better to turn to explore south, where you may make unexpected discoveries. "
"No, I still insist on going north, Mr. Kun."
"But sir, your idea..."
"No, this is not an idea, but an order." Richard said, not bothering to explain too much. After all, people couldn't believe the out-of-body incident. Since he does have the authority to be the second-in-command of the army, he can solve it in the simplest way, "Mr. Kun, I order the troops to continue searching north, a distance of ten miles."
"I..." The white-robed staff officer looked slightly sad and turned to look at Sauron.
Sauron looked at the white-robed staff officer with some surprise, and looked at Richard with the same surprise. He thought for a few seconds and said: "Immediately carry out your orders, that's what I mean."
"This... is." The white-robed staff officer lowered his head helplessly and conveyed the order.
…
Morning time.
Near the Bloodstone Mountain defense line.
In a temporary camp, soldiers of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment are resting.
A night of fruitless searching made them feel tired and bored, and there was a trace of anger hidden deep in their hearts.
You know, as a soldier, the greatest honor is to achieve military success. Only by winning enough battle results and making enough military exploits can we be respected by others and get the best equipment and supplies from the logistics.
And if you want to gain military exploits, you must engage in war, and you must fight the enemy.
This time they were stationed in the mainland for training for nearly half a year. They finally encountered the outbreak of war and the infiltration of the Sika Kingdom's army, and seized the opportunity to make military exploits.
On the battlefield, as soon as they came into contact with the people of the Sika Kingdom, they directly eliminated a squadron of a hundred people from the other side and caused widespread chaos in the other side. If their mission at that time was not to detect the enemy's situation, they would have directly attacked the opponent's Chinese army camp.
Later, they investigated the enemy's situation clearly and found the weak points of Sika's army. They had already formulated a beheading plan. Who knows an order that directly transferred them to this place to search for the so-called tunnel entrance with a group of second-line troops.
This is simply an insult to them and the entire Red Maple Cavalry Regiment!
What an insult!
