I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 538 Heart to Heart
Entering the study, an invisible majesty approached Chen Fan.

In the spacious study room, only Duke Ang was sitting at the desk. His hands were still busy, but people subconsciously lowered their eyes and did not dare to peek.

Chen Fan did not lower his head, but quickly glanced around the study room.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same layout.

Duke Ang seemed to intend to show off Chen Fan. When Chen Fan came in, he did not make a sound or speak, and just kept his head down to deal with official duties.

Just at this moment, the door to the study room was pushed open.

There was only one person in the entire kingdom who could enter the study without consulting Duke Ang, and that was Lady Rose.

Mrs. Rose is in her forties, and the years seem to have left no trace on her face.

To be able to give birth to a girl like Monica who would charm the whole country, Mrs. Rose is naturally very beautiful.

Mrs. Rose came in with two cups of hot tea. When she saw Chen Fan standing there blankly, she asked him to sit down.

"Why are you still standing? Come and sit down first."

Duke Ang, who was still sullen at first, suddenly lost his composure and coughed lightly.

From the look of his wife, it seemed that he planned to chat with Chen Fan here, but this was not the place for him to chat.

Hearing the slight cough, Mrs. Rose rolled her eyes at Duke Ang. Although she didn't say anything, her warning eyes were already directed at him.

This look seems to be saying, this is our son-in-law, don't embarrass him, otherwise he will sleep in the study tonight.

After giving her a look, Mrs. Rose left.

But the original serious atmosphere disappeared after this interruption.

This did not make Chen Fan less respectful to Duke Ang. Instead, he felt that this was a truly flesh-and-blood figure.

The kind of person who is arrogant and perfect in every move is so fake.

Chen Fan relaxed a lot and felt a touch of human touch.

Duke Ang looked up at Chen Fan. Looking at this overly young face, he couldn't help but lament the passage of time in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the more he looked at Chen Fan, Duke Ang felt as if he saw his younger self.

This also gave Duke Ang other thoughts.

Although he has two sons, Duke Ang knows very well that no one can inherit everything he has now.

Is it possible that he really wants to train this boy in front of him to be his heir?
The thought of giving his daughter, whom he had worked so hard to raise for so many years, to the other party, even her current status, made Duke Ang inexplicably angry.

Of course, this is all what Duke Ang is thinking in his mind.

Chen Fan looked honest and waited for his immediate boss and father-in-law to speak out.

"Are you confident in resisting the cattle orcs this time?"

"Have."

Simple questions, short answers.

On the contrary, Duke Ang couldn't deal with this, and he didn't know how to continue communicating.

This time I asked Chen Fan to come. There was nothing I wanted to explain to him in terms of military matters. The main thing I wanted to do was to meet Chen Fan.

Seeing that Duke Ang remained silent, Chen Fan thought that the other party was waiting for more military advice from him.

Fortunately, Chen Fan always did his homework before coming. His time in Shengu City was not in vain. Chen Fan had a lot of information.

I still have an advance understanding of my mission this time.

"I have researched that the Niu tribe orcs stationed by the Yongshuang River are the Shen Niu tribe."

"The orcs of his tribe are good at water warfare and are famous for their strength. Their reproduction speed is average among the orcs." "That's why they were assigned to guard the Yongshuang Iron Bridge to ensure that the logistics transportation routes of the tribes behind can go smoothly. Enter Rock City."

In Chen Fan's opinion, the Shenniu Tribe was a logistics force for the orcs.

Although the terrain of Yongshuang River is high and the water surface is shallow in some places, the waterway leading to Panshi City is a bit high and an iron bridge needs to be built to pass it.

At the same time, it can also facilitate the food transported later and will not get wet by the river water.

"The key is the Yongshuang Iron Bridge!"

"If we can destroy the iron bridge, we can cut off the orcs' food route, forcing them to rely on a lot of manpower to carry food across the river."

"At the same time, small teams can be arranged to enter sentry posts along the way to carry out harassment and destruction."

"If everything goes well, there is no chance of completely wiping out this orc brigade."

"I think the section of the river above Yongshuang River seems..."

Before Chen Fan finished speaking, Duke Ang reacted and couldn't help but interrupt Chen Fan.

Duke Ang frowned and tapped the table gently to remind Chen Fan.

"The order of the advancing legion is to intercept this group of orcs who may come to assist, not to exterminate them."

"I don't want anything to happen that will affect the decisive battle under Rock City."

When it comes to business, Duke Ang seems to have completely changed into a different person, from Duke Ang to Marshal Ang.

What Duke Ang values ​​most is that his legions complete their military orders, rather than being self-righteous.

If everything goes well, it would be nice to be able to exterminate them, but if something unexpected happens and the orcs from the Ox Tribe come to reinforce them, it will be bad for the overall situation.

Chen Fan paused, nodded slightly, and did not continue.

"I understand."

Seeing how knowledgeable Chen Fan was, Duke Ang couldn't help but say a few words of sincerity.

"I know that at your age you must be thinking about doing great things and becoming a hero, but the battlefield is not a one-man game."

"Risk means risk, and we must not have any additional risk."

"It may seem like we have plenty of manpower, but this is all a call to put other lines of defense at risk."

"You, the legion commanders who have been called here, are already the active force in our entire kingdom."

"The entire defense line is now like a bow string stretched to the limit. No one knows whether one arrow shot will completely drive back the orcs, or whether the bow string will break first."

"With our strongest legion, it is already extremely risky to confront the orc army head-on. I don't want to see any more possible risks."

"We can't afford to lose..."

Duke Ang took a deep breath.

This was a feeling of powerlessness he had never shown in front of other army commanders or staff officers.

Only out of consideration for Chen Fan, who was half of his own family, could he tell the truth about such a big matter.

Chen Fan could also clearly feel how heavy the burden was on Duke Ang's shoulders at this time.

The orcs' attack this time has far exceeded every previous one, and the kingdom really has no spare power.

If it fails, it will become a long-lasting war.

By that time, the long-lasting war will bring down the entire kingdom.
