The topics gradually became more relaxed and casual.
"By the way, Commander." Willy said while chewing the potatoes and sausages in his mouth, "Why did you come to join the army?"
"Why join the army..."
Su Cheng's face showed a look of memories.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Cheng replied:
"I chose to join the army because of my desire for an 'extraordinary life'. After more than ten years of ordinary life, I felt a little tired and bored, so in order to get rid of this 'ordinary life', I decided to join the army about this time last year.
, I agreed to the counter-insurgency mission assigned to me by His Majesty Gozevin at that time."
"Then during that counter-insurgency operation, I felt the pleasure of commanding troops to fight and playing games with the enemy. It was a pleasure that I had never experienced before. I particularly liked this pleasure, so after completing the counter-insurgency mission
After that, I agreed to Jacob's request and became an imperial knight, and I have remained in the imperial army."
Willy listened carefully and nodded gently.
As Su Cheng's reputation continues to spread, some stories about Su Cheng are gradually no longer secrets.
For example, the story of Jacob asking Su Cheng to become a knight.
In the past nearly a year, Jacob's request for Su Cheng to become a knight has gradually ceased to be a secret. Now basically everyone knows that Su Cheng completed the counter-insurgency operation.
Later, Jacob and Su Cheng had a secret meeting. Jacob, who appreciated Su Cheng's talents, asked Su Cheng to become a knight, hoping that Su Cheng could continue to serve the Britannia Empire.
Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused, and after a while, he said in a self-deprecating tone:
"Although I initially chose to join the army, become a knight, and go to the battlefield in order to make myself happy and enjoy myself, but now, I feel that I have one more reason to go to the battlefield."
Speaking of this, Su Cheng glanced at a portrait placed on his long table. It was the back image given to him by the little girl when he set off from Pendragon.
"Okay, I've finished telling you my reasons for joining the army. Willy, please tell me your reasons for joining the army."
"A reason for me to join the army?"
A wry smile appeared on Willy's face.
"My reason for joining the army is very simple. I simply feel that if I join the army and become a knight, I will be able to make a lot of money. I urgently need a lot of money to realize my dream, so I joined the army."
"Oh?" Su Cheng's face showed curiosity, "Willy, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. Can you tell me about your dream that requires a lot of money?"
After hearing what Su Cheng said, Willy showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Coach, don't laugh at me after I tell you my dream."
"Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."
"Then I'll tell you."
Willy coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said:
"My dream is to see the prairie in the east."
"The prairie? Is it the prairie inhabited by prairie people to the east of the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire?"
"Well, that's right, it's this prairie."
Willy said with a look of yearning on his face.
"When I was a child, I longed for the prairie in the Far East. It is said that there are endless grasses and cattle and sheep all over the grassland..."
"I have always longed for the scenery on the Far Eastern prairie, so I especially want to see the Far Eastern prairie with my own eyes. Therefore, it is my dream to see the Far Eastern prairie."
"It's a pity that this dream of mine is very expensive."
Willy had a wry smile on his face.
"The distance from the Britannia Empire to the prairie in the Far East is despairingly long. Just thinking about the cost of traveling from the Britannia Empire to the prairie in the Far East gives me a headache."
"So in order to save enough money to go to the prairie, I chose to join the army."
"Although I have been in the army for more than ten years and I am now 28 years old, I still haven't been able to save enough money to go to the prairie. Now that I'm married, have a daughter, and have a family, it's even harder to save money.
, and now that I have a wife and daughter, it is not just enough to save enough money for one person, but to save enough money for three people. After all, I can't leave my wife and daughter behind.
Daughter, I want to go see the prairie alone."
"Ouch... I really don't know when it will take me to save enough money for my family to go to the prairie."
Speaking of this, Willy's face showed an embarrassed smile again.
"Coach, is this dream of mine so childish? I actually want to save enough money to go see the prairie."
"No, I don't feel childish at all."
Su Cheng smiled and shook his head.
"I think your dream, Willie, is particularly wonderful, very romantic, and very respectable. I'm sure that most of the people who choose to join the army do so either for fame or fortune, and very few of them would want to threaten the army."
Like you, the purpose of joining the army is so romantic, joining the army to be able to see the prairie of the Far East."
"Hahaha, I don't dare to be romantic or anything like that. Coach, you are overly commendable..."
"Commander! There is a messenger asking to see you!!"
Before Willy finished speaking, the guards suddenly shouted from outside the tent.
After hearing the "urgent report" from the guard, Willy couldn't help but frown slightly, and there was a hint of worry on his face.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, looked as usual.
"Where is the messenger?" Su Cheng asked the guard outside the tent in a calm tone.
"It's the messenger from the Central Army! He said he has an urgent report to give to you, the commander!"
"Middle Route Army? Urgent report?" Su Cheng muttered something in a low voice, then shouted outside:
"I understand, let the messenger come in."
"yes!"
After being granted permission to enter the camp, the messenger from the Central Route Army quickly walked into Su Cheng's camp.
The messenger, who was tired from work, with a tired face and some blood stains on his body, walked to Su Cheng's side, took out a sealed parchment from his arms, and handed it to Su Cheng.
go.
Su Cheng said while receiving the "urgent report from the Central Route Army" from the messenger:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."
"yes."
After the messenger left, Su Cheng unhurriedly opened the sealed parchment, unfolded it, and ate it with a piece of cooked potato in one hand and the other hand.
The emergency report was there to read.
Not long after, after reading the entire emergency report, Su Cheng, with a normal expression, handed the emergency report to Willy on the side, while he took out a few more pieces of potatoes and sausages from the big pot in front of him, and then continued to eat.
His mouth was stuffed.
"Coach." Willie, who received the urgent letter but did not read it in a hurry, asked, "What is written on this urgent letter?"
"It's nothing." Su Cheng said in a calm tone, "It's just that the central route army was defeated, with less than 30,000 people left, and then we were asked to retreat together to a safe area."
"Oh, it turns out this is...what?!!"
Willy, who almost spit out the potatoes in his mouth and then swallowed them back, unfolded the parchment in his hand at an alarming speed, and then read every line.
After reading the entire emergency report, Willy's expression immediately became wonderful.
"Coach..."
Willie looked dumbfounded at Su Cheng, who still looked leisurely and calmly ate the Bucheng pot dish.
Chapter completed!
