Chapter 60: [Empire’s Hope]

Roddy nodded, he now knew when to speak and when to shut up. There are some things that you can understand in your heart, and you don't need to say them.
When several people came to the big tent, Roddy looked at the dust in the corner of the big tent and couldn’t help but smile and said, "Commander Gordon, I really hope that the Emperor will let me take the two foreign royal guards to the northwest. It's not a'Thunder God's Whip' anymore. Looks like this, I take this kind of army, even if I bring one hundred thousand, it is estimated to die."
Gordon sighed and smiled bitterly: "Master Set, I also came from the Central Cavalry Regiment... back then... Well, when the old Duke was there, the Central Cavalry Regiment was not like this. It has only been a few years. time……"
Roddy thought for a while, and whispered: "Gordon commander, what should I do? It's useless for me to bring such an army. Even if I want to rectify, I am just a commander now, although there is a duke. But after all, you can’t command the entire Central Cavalry Corps. Besides, your majesty’s order is for me to set off tomorrow. There is only one day. What should I do? Their combat effectiveness can be imagined at a glance..."
A smile appeared at the corner of Gordon’s mouth, and he slowly said,
Master Dorset, your majesty only orders you to take 20,000 people with you, but he didn’t say which team you want to take. I came from here. Some people understand that although many of my old companions have not been here over the years, one or two old friends have remained. I dare not say anything about the troops of other people, but the team trained by my two old friends is definitely not Where will it go!"
Roddy nodded and cast a grateful look.
Suddenly heard the sound of a horn outside, followed by a panic of footsteps, a pair of soldiers hurriedly ran into the big tent, and then stood on both sides. The look on their faces was still a little flustered.
Not long afterward, only the sound of leather boots trampled on the ground was heard outside, and then the curtain of the big tent was opened, and several officers rushed in.
A middle-aged man in the lead, wearing a silver uniform with a smile on his face, walked towards Roddy.
"Your Excellency must be the trusted Duke Tulip. I am the current commander of the Central Cavalry Regiment, Bayi!"
"Master General!" Roddy bowed and saluted immediately. Although he is now a duke, his military rank is only a commander, nominally a subordinate of the opponent.
"Your Excellency, you don't need to be polite!" Bayi waved his hand boldly: "When I heard Lord Tulip coming, I came immediately." Then the Bayi general yelled, "Upgrade!"
The sound of drumming came immediately from outside, only the dense and dull drumming was heard, and the group of officers immediately stood on two sides in the big tent.
"Everyone! This is the Gordon commander of the Royal Guards and the trusted Lord Tulip!" Bayi laughed while sitting in front of his handsome position.
"Master Duke!" All the commanding officers came forward to salute. Roddy remained silent, just looking for who the "old friend" Gordon said was.
After everyone stood up again, Bayi said loudly: "My lord, there are days when there are no such big scenes here. To welcome you today, I have summoned all the leaders of the Central Cavalry Corps. !"
"The general is too polite!" Roddy smiled faintly, and then said: "I am ordered by your majesty to be the commander of the Central Cavalry Regiment, and your majesty asked me to take 20,000 people to the northwest tomorrow. You must already know this general. "
Bayi nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't know which man and horse the Lord Duke is going to bring?"
Roddy smiled slightly: "Well, your Majesty didn't say, I wanted to let me choose by myself." After speaking, he deliberately swept over all the leaders on the scene with his eyes.
There was no sound in the big tent immediately, and everyone who was swept by Roddy's eyes closed their mouths tightly and shrank their heads as much as possible.
Who doesn't know that the Northwest is fighting? The Northwest Army was so powerful, wasn't it crushed by the iron cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom? God knows that day, the poor General Ruben might have his head cut off by the scimitar of the Cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom. Now take 20,000 people to the northwest? Isn't that going to die?
Roddy's eyes lit up suddenly, and he saw a man in the uniform of the commander standing in the back row, his face resolute, and he met his gaze without evasiveness. The man was about forty years old, and his dark face clearly showed a lot of wind and frost. From the temperament, he must be an old soldier who has been battlefield.
Roddy didn't have time to play tricks, he walked directly to the commander. Seriously said: "Who is your Excellency?"
"Langya Camp leads Zieg!" A majestic voice.
Roddy nodded, beaming with joy, and said loudly: "Commander Zieg, would you like to follow me to the northwest?"
Qige's face showed excitement, a dark face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly, "I wish to follow the tulip banner!!"
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Bayi and said loudly: "General Bayi, on the order of His Majesty the Emperor, I will now enlist the Spangya Camp of the Central Cavalry Corps to follow me to the northwest!" Roddy was nervous, and he had already seen vaguely. , This Zieger is probably the only truly capable soldier in the Central Cavalry Regiment, I am afraid that Bayi will not let him go.
Who knows that Bayi seemed to be relieved, and he immediately smiled on his face and said loudly: "Since Lord Duke appreciates Zige, then let him take the Spike Camp with you! Commander Zige! "He suddenly shouted.
"The subordinate is here!" A scornful glance flashed in Zige's eyes, but he strode to the middle.
Bayi laughed loudly: "I now appoint you as the deputy commander of the Spike Battalion! The command of the Spike Battalion will be taken over by the new leader, Lord Setrudolph! Give you one day to prepare, and tomorrow morning, prepare to start!"
"Yes!" Qige bowed his head and saluted, completely ignoring the smirking glances of other leaders around him.
What Roddy didn’t know was that the Zieger was always upright and never willing to go with those other officers, so he was not embraced by his colleagues. At this moment, seeing that he was selected to fight in the northwest, everyone was relieved. At the same time, the mentality of gloating. The same is true for that general Bayi. He was also relieved a lot without a subordinate who was not in the right way. It would be best if this Zieg died in the northwest! Then it is naturally more convenient for General Bayi to embezzle military pay or other activities in the future!
Then Roddy was still worried, and followed Zieg to visit the barracks of the Spike Army.
The barracks of the Spike Army are on the left and rear of the Central Cavalry Corps. Roddy, accompanied by the commanders of Zieg and Gordon, rode to the front of the barracks. Only a group of cavalry occupies the general area of ​​the school field on the school field beside the barracks. The yelling and yelling horses galloped wildly, even in the sprinting, the queue was still not scattered! Countless young knights on the rushing war horse kept shooting at the arrow target ahead in various postures. An officer on the side of the school field held a small flag in his hand and commanded with a cold face.
On the other side of the school grounds, a pair of cavalry formed an assault formation and were charging with hormones. The cavalry's spears were raised into the forest, shouting to kill Zhentian! In the same way, there was an officer-like person on the sidelines flying up and down with a black flag in his hand.
With a smug look on Qige's face, he suddenly shouted to the messenger beside him: "Let them all stop!"
Following the instructions of the messenger, the two cavalry officers stopped quickly and lined up under the command of two officers holding the flags. The stingers and bows in their hands were put away at the same time, and then they lined up into two long lines. The team stood neatly in the center of the school field! No noise for people, no neighing for horses!
Excited, Roddy rushed to the horse, but he didn't wait for him to rush to the cavalry queue. Huh! !
All the cavalry moves neatly and uniformly while drawing out a long and strangely shaped scimitar. Dozens of eyes stared at Roddy sternly. It seems that as long as Roddy dared to go a little bit forward, then hundreds of scimitars will greet him!
"Master Duke!" Zieg hurried up behind him, ordering everyone to put their weapons away.
In the same way, the cavalry received the order, and neatly inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard of the horse.
"Master Duke! This is the rules of the Spike Army! No one can rush into the army without an order!" Qige's face was a little embarrassed, for fear that the young Tulip Duke would get angry.
Roddy didn't have a trace of unhappy expression on his face. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Commander Zieg, why do they have such a weird scimitar in their hands? I remember that the cavalry should be equipped with swords in addition to bows and arrows and lances! "
Zieg smiled faintly: "This kind of scimitar is a special weapon of our Central Cavalry Regiment! When the Central Cavalry Regiment conquered the northwest grassland with Lord Tulip back then, it suffered a lot of the cutlass of those aliens. Duke. The adults found that their scimitars are indeed very useful to use right away, far better than our long swords, so they imitated their appearance and equipped everyone with a scimitar! This is our Central Cavalry Regiment Tradition!"
Roddy jumped off the horse and stood there staring blankly at the neat and majestic army 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 that empire that I have seen from the history books! !
Roddy suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Zieg! His voice was trembling with excitement.
"Master Zieg, I want to thank you! You reserved hope for the empire!"
