Chapter 1549 I have tried my best
After Faramir entered the Watchtower, the large troops behind him also entered one after another.
All the soldiers in the Watchtower saluted Faramir respectfully.
Faramir also bowed to them one by one.
It was really tiring to do this, but Faramir never ignored the feelings of any soldier.
By the time he arrived at the chamber, his right arm could hardly be raised.
Commander Phoenix followed behind him, nodding and bowing.
Faramir sat on the main seat, and Commander Phoenix immediately poured Faramir a glass of red wine.
Faramir asked in a deep voice: "Do you usually drink this?"
Commander Phoenix hurriedly said, "Of course not Lord Faramir! I just bought it specifically to entertain you!"
Faramir nodded slightly, "Okay, I know what you mean, but don't do anything like this in the future."
Commander Phoenix smiled embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, then... those bar girls?"
Faramir said coldly: "Give them some money and send them away. We are here to fight, not to have fun."
"Yes, yes!" The commander quickly replied.
Faramir said again: "Have the envoy of the Saint-Belgian Parliament arrived?"
Commander Phoenix hurriedly said, "Not yet."
Faramir said lightly: "He is not a soldier, so it doesn't matter if he is a little late. Well, don't worry about him for now. Take out the strategic map and let's study the basic tactics."
"Now?" Commander Phoenix said in surprise.
Faramir frowned and said, "Of course it's now."
Commander Phoenix hurriedly said, "But it's already very late now, and everyone hasn't eaten yet, so let's have a meal first."
Faramir said coldly: We have eaten on the road."
"Have you eaten on the road?" Commander Benik said in surprise: "Can you eat dry food on the horse's back? It's so bad! You are an extremely noble adult! When you come to our place, I must treat you well!"
Faramir said boredly: "I have told you many times, don't do these messy things anymore! If you want to eat, then you can go and eat by yourself, just leave the map for me."
Commander Phoenix hurriedly said, "No, no, no, how dare I go to eat by myself? I will accompany you to see the tactical map."
After saying that, Commander Phoenix sent someone to take the tactical map over.
This tactical map is not big, it just fills the entire table when placed on it. The range on the map is also very limited, and the mountains, rivers, and dense forests are not clearly marked.
Faramir said in a deep voice: "Is this your tactical map?"
Commander Phoenix said: "Yes, this is our tactical map."
"This map is too simple," Faramir said.
Commander Phoenix shrugged: "We Watch Castle, and have been using this map for the first half of the year. We think this map is quite useful. You see, the drawing on this map is quite accurate. Carlyle is right in front of us. As long as we pass through here, we can directly break through the gate of Carlyle! If we launch an attack tomorrow morning, we can all go back to the court to celebrate the victory in the evening!"
Faramir said coldly: "Master Commander, are you so confident?"
Commander Phoenix grinned and said, "Of course, I have been here for decades, from a middle-level captain to a deputy commander, and then sat in the position of commander. It can be said that I know the movements of Carlyle City. Lord Faramir, as long as you hand over 20,000 troops to me and I will command, I promise to take Carlyle City in one day."
Faramir said coldly: "Oh? Is it true? If Carlyle City is really that easy to fight, then why would the Prime Minister send me with 20,000 elite troops?"
Phoenix smiled and said, "I understand this! You are the son of the Prime Minister! Such great contributions naturally cannot fall on others. Don't worry, I will fight for you. The credits are yours. As long as you remember to promote me, I don't want to stay in this remote mountain valley all my life!"
Faramir suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Do you think the Prime Minister sent me here just to win a reputation? Who do you think we are? People who seek fame? Let me tell you Phoenix, the reason why the Prime Minister sent me here and the Holy White Council sent special envoys to come because this battle in Carlyle is not easy! Those who guard Carlyle are the Dragon Slayer and his Snow Emperor Squad!"
Phoenix was stunned, then grinned and said, "Dragon Slayer? I've heard of that rumor, but those legends are so exaggerated! One person killed an entire orc army? How is this possible? I just put a gild on his face and attributed all the credit to him alone."
"Look?" Faramir said coldly: "Commander Phoenix, do you analyze everything with your mentality?"
Phoenix shrugged, "That's not all. I just feel that Lord Faramir doesn't need to worry about the Dragon Slayer at all. Give me 20,000 troops, and I promise to kill the Dragon Slayer!"
Faramir leaned back tiredly on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed deeply.
He didn't want to shake the morale of the army and affect morale at this time, but Phoenix's performance really made him unable to bear it.
"Okay... I'm tired, let's get here today." Considering that there are still many things to do, Faramir resisted the idea of replacing him.
Commander Phoenix hurriedly said, "Sir, we have prepared a room for you, please go and rest."
Faramir was indeed tired, and he immediately stood up and said, "Phoenix, I hope that by tomorrow morning, your people can re-draw me a more detailed map. I also need basic information about Carlyle and Anduin. I need to know their people's will, their wealth and capital, and the height and thickness of their walls."
Commander Phoenix wiped his sweat, "This...isn't it necessary? It's just a broken city, and they will collapse with just one hit."
Faramir didn't want to get entangled with Commander Phoenix anymore, and he said coldly: "I don't care what you think, I must see these information tomorrow morning, otherwise, you should think about how to quit."
Commander Phoenix was shocked, "Mr. Faramir, this... isn't this right? Do you dislike my not being good enough for the hospitality! But I have tried my best!"
Faramir ignored Commander Nick and turned around and left the chamber with his entourage guards.
