Chapter 708
The welcoming banquet prepared for Mude and Blaise was grand.
Plate after plate of delicacies, bottle after bottle of drinks were served on the table.
In order to take care of the two old men, Mude and Blaise, Su Cheng also carefully instructed the kitchen and asked them to prepare foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as meat porridge, for the two old men, Mude and Blaise.
After all, Su Cheng didn't know if the two old men who were already 60 years old had good teeth and could still chew food.
But after the banquet began, Su Cheng found that his concern was unnecessary.
Although these two old men are old, they have a very good teeth and eat no less than their young people.
At the beginning of the banquet, the two of them launched a large-scale offensive against the food in front of them. They each grabbed a leg of lamb, grabbed it and chewed it. Their posture was very bold, and it was completely unbelievable that they could not imagine that these were two elderly people over 60 years old.
Perhaps it was because of the bold attitude of these two old men during the meal. Not long after the reception banquet began, the atmosphere became hot.
Because it is wartime, it is not appropriate to invite dancers and orchestras to perform and cheer up.
Moreover, Alisha was also present at this welcoming banquet. Su Cheng didn't want Alisha to see him watching the dancer troupe performing intently, so Su Cheng did not invite any dancer troupe and musician troupe to cheer up.
In order to stir up the atmosphere of the banquet, Samuel volunteered to perform a sword dance.
Until Samuel volunteered to perform a sword dance, everyone on the scene, except for Del, was shocked.
Because they didn't know that Samuel could dance the sword dance.
The so-called sword dance is a traditional dance in the Britannian Empire army. It is a dance that requires a sword in your hand and a handsome and elegant dance.
There are many different versions of Jianwu. Some versions require a sword in one hand and the shield in the other, while some versions require only one hand to hold a sword in one hand.
Samuel's jump version is the version that only requires one hand to hold a sword.
Samuel drew out his knight's sword and danced a sword dance in the center of the banquet hall.
People like Samuel who are neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, and have a bit of quiet temperament, are very suitable for this handsome and elegant sword dance.
Although he didn't know how to dance, nor did he know what sword dance, after watching Samuel's performance, Su Cheng instinctively thought that Samuel was dancing very well, and after the dance, he successfully inspired the atmosphere of the venue.
After Samuel volunteered to perform a sword dance, the rest of the people in the venue also went up to perform their talents.
After the welcoming banquet, everyone was a little tired of having fun, they started chatting.
Everyone here is a knight. If you have any common topics, it is probably only military affairs.
Mude and Blaize didn't know what the battle situation was on the northern front now, so they asked Su Cheng.
After some inquiry, they learned that the situation on the northern front had long been in a stalemate.
After launching a seven-day fierce attack on Avalon Fortress, the offensive was completely stopped on the 8th day.
Although the offensive stopped, it did not retreat.
Neither withdraw or attack, he blocked the Avalon Fortress and built field fortifications, as if to guard against the sneak attack of the Knights of Michael.
After seeing that Xilan's army refused to withdraw its troops and no longer attacked, but blocked the fortifications outside the fortifications, Su Cheng keenly judged that Xilan's army was going to fight with them!
Blocked outside the northern gate of the Avalon Fortress, he consumed food and supplies with his Knights of Michael to see whose food and supplies were exhausted first.
After learning that hundreds of thousands of Sheeran troops were guarding Avalon Fortress to fight against them, Mude and Blaise widened their eyes.
Mu De was shocked: "Soldiers and food battles... Where did they get the confidence to fight soldiers and food battles with Avalon Fortress..."
The northern wall of Avalon Fortress connects from the eastern end of the Eighar Corridor to the western end. Unless the entire northern wall is taken down, it is impossible to surround Avalon Fortress and cut off the supplies of Avalon Fortress.
An expeditionary force of hundreds of thousands of people fought against a local army and could not be cut off to fight for troops and food wars - this kind of combat plan was too crazy and whimsical.
Su Cheng understood Mude and Blaise who were staring wide now, because when he judged that the Sheeran army was going to fight with his Michael Knights, Su Cheng also widened his eyes in shock.
Su Cheng dared to conclude that such a foolish move was definitely not the idea of Sheeran's head coach Dominic!
After all, Dominic was also the first marshal of the Holy Hillan Empire. How could he not see clearly the current situation of the war? How could he send troops and food to fight like this?
According to spies' intelligence, this "hammer battle" by the Holy Hiran Empire was the idea of their Wahiri Emperor.
So Su Cheng speculated that the idea that the Xilan army would not withdraw its troops after the offensive was setback and would still fight against them in battle with food. Maybe it was the emperor of the Holy Xilan Empire, Wahili.
No matter who came up with the idea of fighting for soldiers and food with their Knights of Michael, Su Cheng would like to thank him.
If the Sheeran army really withdraws from the Aeghar Corridor, then his "Northern Great Sliding" battle will be impossible to implement.
After some chat, the people in the venue gradually talked about the serious business and the "Northern Kingdom Swift" battle.
"Everyone here should know the general process of this battle."
"I'll tell you honestly!"
Su Cheng continued to say seriously to the knights who gathered in front of him:
"I not only want to win this battle! I also want history to remember this battle!"
"I want to let people now and people in the future see it!"
"See how I surrounded and wiped out 300,000 people with 120,000 people!"
"And I not only want to annihilate the 300,000 Xilan army in front of me, if the conditions are ripe,
I also want to counterattack! I want to launch a northern expedition! Invade the land of the Holy Hillan Empire!”
Su Cheng continued to speak loudly to the people in the venue.
"But if you want to successfully surround 300,000 people with 120,000 people, you must have the help of the navy!"
"We will put the 80,000 troops of the Knights of Michael to the rear of the Holy Hillan Empire by sea."
"The Bishui Port of the Holy Hillan Empire is also a port that is not frozen all year round. The port is large enough and is closest to the Muhavic Fortress. It is the most suitable landing point. Apart from this, there is no better landing point than this."
"However, the Port of Bishui is also one of the main bases of the Holy Hillan Empire Navy."
"Bi Shui Port has been stationed in half or more of the naval forces of the Holy Hillan Empire for many years."
"If our navy cannot annihilate the northern navy stationed in Bishui Port, then there is no way to start a landing on the beach!"
"So - the navy will play a crucial role in this battle! The victory of the navy will directly affect the outcome of the entire battle. I will never allow anyone to affect the navy's operations!"
"Now the two commanders of the navy and all the knights of my Knights are here, then - Lord Mude, just take this opportunity to tell us about the specific equipment of the Imperial Navy."
