Chapter 4 Dust's Ambition (3)

That night, Grahead quietly visited Amy.

"General Grahead? What's wrong with coming here so late?" Amy rummaged through the cabin for a while, "Sorry, I don't have any wine here now. Do you want cold water? Boil it to you?"

"No need." Graheide wanted to speak but stopped, "'Supreme' I came here this time to..."

"My name is Amy."

Amy put a glass of cold water heavily in front of Graheide, interrupting Graheide's words.

"Okay...Amy, I'm here for something..."

"Get a game to play." Amy slapped a chess board on the table, "Win a game first, and then talk about it slowly."

"I'm not your opponent." Graheide smiled bitterly. But looking at Amy's serious look, he could only sit down and place chess pieces on the board.

"There are many people who come to me to play chess with the King of Sweden on their backs, and most of them lost to me." Amy lay on the chair opposite Grahead, tilted her head and watched Grahead put his chess pieces down, and helped her place them one by one. "Grahead, for the sake of not bringing gifts, I will give you a reminder - we have played chess. Think carefully about what kind of opponent I am, otherwise, you will not have the chance to beat me."

"It was when the King of Sweden disappeared, and then you called us to fight against the Allied Federation of Almany. I lost a lot at that time." After Grahyid put his chess piece, he kept lowering his head, as if he was confessing. "As a archer, I was always afraid of the cavalry. At that time, I subconsciously took the defensive. If I could be bolder at that time, I would not have put you in danger."

"You don't have to be responsible. That's the result of my charge without authorization. I can probably be considered a powerful magician, but I can't be considered a good general. Your Majesty wants me to charge, but I can't be asked to lead troops to fight. Now Your Majesty is even more intentional not to let me use magic, so the affairs in the military are almost inconsistent with me." Amy replied lightly, "So, if you want to give your Majesty any suggestions on military operations, it's better to make it yourself."

Grahead is the attacking side, and Amy is the defending side. Rule-wise, Grahead is the first to go. But Grahead is slow to move, so Amy can only grab the head of a chess piece and sway on the board.

"It's not a military suggestion. I just want to talk about the issue of the Swedish king's employment. Amy, you don't want the Swedish king to be surrounded by a group of villains and liars, right?"

"Scammer and villain?" Amy "snap" and overwhelmed the chess piece in her hand on the board. "Grahead, I have reminded you. Do you mean a villain who sneaks into a girl's room like me at night?"

Graheide was shocked.

"I don't want to know who you are talking about. I don't want to guess. There are too many conflicts in Sweden. The merchants and local residents of the Island Republic have disputes every day; the students of the Alchemy Academy and the Engineering Academy dislike each other; you lords from England and local lords are also divided into two factions, right? If you have any dissatisfaction, go and go to the King of Sweden by yourself, don't try to use my mouth. I will not stand on either side of you, my Majesty will always be my Majesty."

"I understand." Graheide lowered his head and stood up. "I won't play this chess anymore. I'm not your opponent."

"Grahead, you are a person that the King of Sweden values ​​very much, so I have something to say to you." Amy sighed, "Let your prejudice besides. The king you are loyal to now doesn't care about dispensable things such as nationality, origin, faith, etc. It's better to say that she wants to unify these things under the same banner. In the Seven Hills Empire, this was her ideal. It's still there. I hope you are her helper, not her stumbling block."

"I'll think about it." Grahyde lowered his head and stepped back from Amy's room.

The next day, Ella arranged three thousand soldiers in the army to form a team at the port. Soon, Dust came to everyone with a refreshed spirit. The alcohol on his body was gone, his beard was shaved, and his hair was carefully taken care of, making him look heroic. The people in Sweden had never seen Dust like this before, and were a little surprised.

"Master, you can choose any soldier you want from everyone who stands here now," Ella said. "The crowbar is in your hand, and your order is mine."

Das nodded, then shouted in front of the crowd: "Which of you are professional soldiers and which ones are temporarily recruited? It is the professional soldiers who are out of the list!"

More than a thousand people walked out of the crowd. Some of these people were soldiers on the flying zodiac, and some were archers trained by Graheide himself. They were the backbone of Ella's expedition, and their heads were raised high.

"Everyone go back to the boat!" Dust waved his hand to drive people away, "You are not suitable for this operation!"

"Wait, Master, what's going on?" Ella asked from the side, "Isn't this dangerous task better with professional soldiers?"

"If you have special training, it is of course better for professional soldiers. But we don't have time to train now. Professional soldiers who only know that fighting and formation are not competent for this operation."

Dust drove away the professional soldiers and shouted at the rest:

"Who of you were hunters before coming here? It's just that those who have hunted are not counted. Hunters who want to be profession have more than five years of hunting experience!"

A group of people came out, with a total of 50 or 60 people. Grahaide snorted unhappily and said to himself: "Isn't it better to let the hunter come out from the beginning, but it's going to be divided into two steps."

Dust still seemed unsatisfied with the number of people.

"Too many, too many! So many people, before they started to investigate, they were detected by the enemy! I only have five people at most! Let's do this, I will hide in the suburbs later, and find my five people first, and then join this reconnaissance team!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Graheide couldn't help asking: "Dust, are you serious?"

"I haven't drunk today!" Dust shouted, "Why, why don't I lead the troops?"

"Since the King of Sweden asked you to perform this mission, I have nothing to object to. I just want to give you some advice to you who have never brought troops." Graheide said, "You have to complete this mission in two ways: one is to find the missing citizens nearby; the other is to go to Winchester to investigate the situation. This area is large, with five too few, and you can't find them all within a few days; if you want to go to Winchester, there are still five people, and you can't effectively protect yourself. You are now the general in charge of this reconnaissance operation, not the captain of a reconnaissance team. A team can only have five people, but you have to prepare at least three to ten teams, right? Let these teams search and operate in a coordinated manner, and be a general!"

"No, the five people in this operation are completely enough - but you reminded me." Dust patted Grahead on the shoulder kindly, "Grahead! Congratulations on being the first to be selected! The five recruits are not capable of combating enough, and their safety depends on you!"

"Me?" Graheide was shocked, "I am an earl?"

"The King of Sweden said, I will choose anybody who stands here." Dust intentionally showed off the crowbar in his hand, "If you don't want to go, then who asked you to stand here?"

"Well... it can be a nobleman, nor does it need to be a professional soldier." Dust's words made Ella, who was beside her, fall into deep thought. Suddenly, she raised her hand as if she realized it, "Since that's the case, can I go too?"

"The King of Sweden???"
