Roddy nodded, he now knew when to speak and when to shut up. There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart without saying them out loud.
Several people came to the big tent. Rody looked at the dust in the corner of the big tent and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Commander Gordon, I really hope that His Majesty the Emperor will let me take two Royal Guards to the northwest, and It’s not the ‘Thunder God’s Whip’. Look at this, if I bring this kind of army, I will probably die if I bring one hundred thousand.”
Gordon sighed and smiled bitterly: "Master Seth, I also came out of the Central Cavalry Corps... Back then... Well, when the old Duke was here, the Central Cavalry Corps was not like this. It was only a few years ago... "
Rody thought for a while and whispered: "Commander Gordon, what should I do? There is really no use for me to bring such an army. Even if I want to rectify it, I am just a commander now. Although there is a Duke title, but after all, I cannot command the entire Central Cavalry Corps. Besides, His Majesty’s order is for me to set off tomorrow. I only have one day. What should I do? You can imagine their combat effectiveness at a glance... "
A smile appeared on the corner of Gordon's mouth, and he said slowly: "Master Seth, His Majesty only ordered you to be the commander and asked you to lead 20,000 people, but he did not say which team you were asked to lead. I was born here, and I am still familiar with this place. Some people know that although many of my old companions are no longer here over the years, there are still one or two old friends who have remained. I dare not say anything about other people's troops, but the teams trained by my two old friends are definitely not the same. How bad will it be!"
Rody nodded and gave him a grateful look.
Suddenly, a horn sound was heard outside, followed by a burst of panicked footsteps. A pair of soldiers hurried into the tent and stood on both sides. The expressions on their faces were still a bit panicked.
Not long after that, the sound of leather boots trampling on the ground was heard outside, and then the curtain of the big tent was opened, and several officers poured in.
The leader, a middle-aged man wearing a silver uniform with a smile on his face, walked over to Roddy.
"Your Excellency must be the trusted Duke Tulip. I am Bayi, the current commander-in-chief of the Central Cavalry Regiment!"
"General!" Rody immediately bowed and saluted. Although he is now a Duke, his military rank is just that of a commander, and he is still a subordinate of the other party in name.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite!" Bai Yi waved his hand generously: "I rushed over immediately when I heard that Duke Tulip was coming." Then General Bai Yi shouted: "Raise the account!"
The sound of drumming came immediately from outside, and only the dense and dull drumming was heard. The group of officers immediately stood in the big tent on two sides.
"Everyone! This is Commander Gordon of the Royal Guards and the trusted Lord Tulip Duke!" Bayi laughed while sitting in front of his handsome seat.
"Your Majesty the Duke!" All the leading officers stepped forward to salute. Roddy remained calm, just looking for who the "old friend" Gordon mentioned was.
After everyone stood up again, Bayi said loudly: "Your Majesty the Duke, I haven't had such a big scene here for a while. In order to welcome you today, I have summoned all the commanders of the Central Cavalry Corps. !”
"General, you are so polite!" Rody smiled faintly, and then said: "I was ordered by His Majesty to serve as the commander of the Central Cavalry Regiment. Your Majesty asked me to lead 20,000 people to the northwest tomorrow. You must already know this, General. "
Bayi nodded and said: "Yes, I just don't know which troops the Duke will take with him?"
Rody smiled slightly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything about this. I guess he let me choose myself." After saying that, he deliberately glanced at all the commanders present.
At this moment, there was silence in the big tent. People who were swept by Rody's gaze tightly closed their mouths and shrank their heads as much as possible.
Who doesn’t know that there is a war going on in the northwest? The Northwest Army was so powerful, wasn't it defeated by the cavalry of the Dayue Kingdom? God knows that day, that poor General Ruben's head may have been cut off by the scimitar of the cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom. Now take 20,000 people to the northwest? Isn't that sending someone to death
Roddy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a man wearing a commander's uniform standing in the last row, with a resolute face, looking at him without hesitation. The man was about forty years old, with a dark face that clearly showed a lot of weather. From his temperament, it was obvious that he must be an old soldier who had experienced many battlefields.
Rody didn't have time to play any tricks. He walked directly to the leader. He said seriously: "Who is your Excellency?"
"Chief Commander of Langya Camp!" A majestic voice said.
Rody nodded, with a happy face on his face, and said loudly: "Commander Sieg, are you willing to follow me to the northwest?"
Sieg's face showed excitement, and his dark face flushed red with excitement, and he loudly said: "I would like to follow the tulip's battle flag!!"
Rody breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and shouted to Baiyi: "General Baiyi, by the order of His Majesty the Emperor, I am now recruiting the Langya Battalion of the Central Cavalry Corps to follow me to the northwest!" Rody was uneasy in his heart, and he could vaguely see it. , this Siege is probably the only truly capable soldier in the Central Cavalry Regiment, I'm afraid Bayi will refuse to let him go.
Who knew that Bayi seemed to be relieved, and immediately smiled on his face, and said loudly: "Since the Duke appreciates Sieg, then let him take the Wolf Fang Camp with you! Commander Sieg!" "He suddenly shouted loudly.
"My subordinate is here!" A look of contempt flashed in Sieg's eyes, but he still strode to the middle.
Bayi laughed loudly and said: "I now appoint you as the deputy commander of the Wolf Fang Camp! The command of the Wolf Fang Camp will be taken over by the new commander, Duke Seth Rudolph! I will give you one day to prepare, and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!" Sieg bowed his head and saluted, completely ignoring the gloating looks from other commanders around him.
What Rody didn't know was that Commander Sieg was usually upright and never wanted to join in with the other officers, so he was not supported by his colleagues. Now that he was selected to fight in the northwest, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, there is a gloating mentality. The same is true for General Bayi. He felt much more relaxed now that he had one less subordinate who was on the wrong side of him. It would be best if this Sieg died in the northwest! Then it will naturally be more convenient for General Bayi to embezzle military pay or other activities in the future!
Later, Rody was still worried and followed Zig to visit the Wolf Fang Army's military camp.
The barracks of the Wolf Fang Army was on the left rear of the Central Cavalry Corps. Accompanied by Commanders Sieg and Gordon, Rody rode to the front of the barracks. He only saw a group of cavalry occupying the general area of the school field on the school field next to the barracks. The horses galloped wildly, shouting and screaming, and even while galloping, the queue was still not scattered! Countless young knights on their galloping horses kept firing at the arrow targets in front of them in various postures. An officer-looking man on the side of the school field held a small command flag in his hand and commanded with a stern expression.
On the other side of the school grounds, a pair of cavalry formed an assault formation and were charging. The cavalry raised their spears into the forest and shouted, "Kill Zhentian!" Similarly, there was a man who looked like an officer on the sidelines, holding a black flag flying up and down in his hand.
There was a somewhat proud look on Siege's face, and he suddenly shouted loudly to the messenger next to him: "Let them all stop!"
Following the order's instructions, under the command of two officers holding the order flag, the two cavalrymen quickly stopped, lined up their horses, put away their spears and bows at the same time, and then formed two long lines. The square team stood neatly in the center of the school field! No noise from people, no neighing from horses!
Rody was so excited that he galloped over on horseback, but before he could reach the front of the cavalry. Uh-huh! !
All the cavalrymen drew out a long, strange-shaped scimitar in unison. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Rody eagerly. It seems that if Roddy dares to move forward just a little bit, hundreds of scimitars will come towards him!
"Your Majesty the Duke!" Sieg quickly ran up from behind and first ordered everyone to put away their weapons.
Similarly, the cavalryman received the order, and his colleague neatly put the scimitar back into the scabbard on the horse.
"Your Majesty the Duke! This is the rule of the Wolf Fang Army! No one can rush into the military formation without orders!" Sieg looked a little embarrassed, fearing that the young Duke Tulip would get angry.
There was no unhappy expression on Rody's face, but he asked with a smile: "Commander Sieg, why do they have such strange scimitars in their hands? I remember that the cavalry should be equipped with swords in addition to bows and arrows and spears! "
Sieg smiled lightly: "This kind of scimitar is a special weapon of our Central Cavalry Regiment! When the Central Cavalry Regiment conquered the northwest grassland with Duke Tulip, it suffered a lot from the scimitars of those aliens. Duke. The adults found that their scimitars were indeed very useful on horses, much better than our long swords, so they imitated their appearance and equipped each person with a scimitar. This is our Central Cavalry Regiment! The tradition!”
Rody jumped off his horse and stood there staring at the neat and majestic military formation in front of him with a strange expression on his face.
This is the real "Thunder God's Whip"! This is the most powerful and elite invincible cavalry of the empire that I saw in the history books! !
Rody suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Siege! His voice was trembling with excitement.
"Lord Sieg, I want to thank you! You have preserved hope for the empire!"
