king of the castle

Chapter 349 Gettysburg

"I am Harry from the Sixth Scout Squad!" The scout captain who accompanied Roger hurriedly said loudly: "I am here with Roger Viscount Li. He is the vanguard officer of the noble army and will be the leader of Gettysburg from now on Commander!"

The people in the castle obviously didn't expect that a noble with the title of Viscount would be sent to garrison such a dangerous place as Gettysburg, so they couldn't help being stunned for a while. 【】But for these battle-tested soldiers and ruffians, nothing can really surprise them, so the person who shouted quickly recovered and said to himself: "Those big guys in the military department are thinking What, a nobleman was sent to Gettysburg. It's bad luck to be distracted by taking care of this trash when there is a war!"

Although he was talking to himself, this guy's voice was so loud that people outside the castle could hear him clearly.Sophia seemed very happy, and immediately said to Roger with a coquettish smile: "You, the people here treat you as a burden, Gege... the good-for-nothing Viscount!"

Harry also felt very embarrassed, and stammered to explain to Roger: "I'm sorry, Lord Viscount, these soldiers have been fighting on the front line, in terms of etiquette..."

In fact, Roger also felt a little displeased with the loud salutation, but he is now a Viscount anyway, so naturally he would not care about these soldiers, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand."

Although it was difficult for the defenders of Gettysburg to accept a nobleman, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the military department. While the two were talking, the gate of the castle was slowly opened.Roger didn't say anything to Harido anymore, and led two hundred soldiers into the castle proudly.

The news that a nobleman came to take over the command had already spread in Gettysburg, and the defenders in the castle gathered in the small square behind the gate, looking at the new nobleman curiously.

These soldiers fighting on the front line did not have a good impression of the noble lord.If it was in peacetime, they would still show a minimum of respect to nobles, but now that the war is in full swing, no one is sure whether they will be alive tomorrow, so their attitude towards Roger will naturally not be very good.

These veterans stared at Roger who was slowly entering the castle with indifferent expressions, and at the same time expressed their opinions on Roger in cold words.

"Hey, it's another young man, he must have inherited his father's title, right?"

"It's just such a little boy who brought only so few soldiers to our place, so he's going to die?"

"I don't know what you think, but I only listen to Mr. Eaton."

"That's right, this guy has no combat experience at all. If he is allowed to command the battle, everyone will die!"

"The nobleman is the nobleman, and he brought a chick when he came to fight!"

"Don't tell me, this chick is really hot, look at those breasts, that waist and those legs... Tsk tsk!"

The soldiers commented on Roger fearlessly, not paying attention to the new nobleman at all.In fact, they were far less interested in Roger than in Sophia. After all, the biggest interest of these soldiers was to go to nearby towns to have a few drinks and then vent their anger in the cheapest brothel.Since the beginning of the war, such a life has been far away from them.A group of men who have been holding back for a long time, suddenly seeing a sexy and attractive beauty like Sophia, it is strange that they have no idea at all.

Facing the fiery eyes of the soldiers, Sophia didn't show any fear.On the contrary, she seemed to enjoy this feeling of being noticed very much. She deliberately puffed up her chest and gently twisted her waist to make her enchanting figure stand out even more.A few particularly daring soldiers even whistled at Sophia.Sophia was even more complacent, and even winked at these people.

This time, the soldiers in Gettysburg became even more excited. Some whistled, stomped, and even shouted loudly, causing the entire castle to explode.

"Restrain yourself!" Facing such a situation, Roger couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help complaining to Sophia in a low voice: "Do you want to stir up a mutiny?"

"Hmph, why do these soldiers ignore you!" Sophia winked at the soldiers, and said to Roger with a coquettish smile, "I'll write down the soldiers who made the most noise. Then kill them one by one!"

Only then did Roger know that Sophia wanted to vent her anger on herself.This made Roger angry and funny at the same time, but also moved a little bit. Dragon Girl has always regarded human beings as ants, and now she knows how to maintain her majesty, which is obviously a very good change.

But Roger didn't want Sophia to start a bloodbath in Gettysburg, so he quickly reminded in a low voice: "You can't do it without my consent. I don't want to see blood flow here."

"I'll destroy them with dragon's breath, and they won't bleed!" Sophia deliberately misunderstood Roger's meaning, and only pretended to be pitiful when Roger looked at her with dissatisfied eyes: "I know, people still wear I'm wearing a collar, so I have to listen to whatever you say!"

The dragon girl's ability to turn her face like a book made Roger very angry, and he simply stopped discussing this topic with her.At this time, a middle-aged man hurriedly came to Roger, bowed respectfully to him, and said, "Hello, Lord Viscount, I am the commander here, and I welcome you. I am dealing with the defense, so I came here in time." It's late, please don't take offense."

Knowing that this man is currently the most powerful person in Gettysburg, Roger also got off his horse and said: "This is an extraordinary period, so don't worry about these red tapes. How is the situation in the castle now?"

Eden obviously didn't expect Roger to be so talkative, he was stunned for a while before shaking his head and said: "It's not good. There are many damages in the castle, and we don't have enough labor to repair it. There are only 380 six soldiers in the castle at present. There are still 47 wounded, and there is not enough manpower to guard such a large castle. Moreover, our combat supplies are seriously insufficient, not to mention the shortage of weapons and arrows, and even the food is only enough for five days."

Eaton's words made Roger satisfied with this man after all.Not only did he speak clearly about the castle, but he also understood all kinds of data very clearly, so he was obviously a qualified commander.

Thinking of this, Roger didn't hesitate, and said directly to Eaton, "I'll solve the problem of supplies, and I'll ensure that I can get sufficient supplies within three days. Your original subordinates will still be under your command, and the various guard posts will be handled according to the original rules. If The enemy is coming, and the soldiers I brought will be on the front line, and your people will be in charge of supporting them, right?"

Originally, Eaton wanted to transfer the command to Roger after complaining to Roger.Roger's words really surprised Eaton, and he looked at the young noble in front of him in disbelief.
