"…Xiaoguan has never said that."

"Although you haven't said that, I've already felt from your tone and expression that you mean this."

“…”

After a while of silence, Samuel sighed as if he had accepted his fate.

"... That's right." Samuel said in a deep voice, "The Chief, you think that you are giving these important tasks to Deng Jie O'Brien over and over again, just to favor her."

"Captain, please forgive me for your frankness - if you do this, it will make everyone feel disappointed."

"No matter who it is, you can't stand your superiors favoring someone and giving important tasks and resources to someone."

"It would be fine if this person has outstanding abilities, but Deng Jie O'Brien is obviously not the one with outstanding abilities."

"So the subordinate here pleads with the regiment commander, you will change the commander of the vanguard army."

"There are many people in the Knights who are more capable than Deng Jiaer O'Brien, and are more suitable for the commander-in-chief of the Pioneer Force than Deng Jiaer O'Brien."

Samuel's words could be said to be without any face, and he told Su Cheng directly: Please change the commander-in-chief of the vanguard troops.

But Su Cheng didn't care about Samuel's words that did not give him any face.

"Isn't Deng Jiaer the person with outstanding abilities..." Su Cheng repeated what Samuel just said.

At the same time, the corner of the left mouth was slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"My idea is the opposite of you, Samuel. I think Deng Jiaer's ability is quite outstanding. If you cultivate it well, Deng Jiaer's future talents and achievements may not be inferior to me."

"If you think I'm favoring Deng Jiaer, then you're not wrong."

"I am indeed favoring Deng Jiaer now. I have a crush on Deng Jiaer's potential. I have high expectations for Deng Jiaer, so I want to spare no effort to cultivate her."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Samuel frowned.

"...Captain, please forgive me for your frankness - why do you think that Deng Jie O'Brien has high potential?"

"Samuel, when did you know Deng Jie?"

Because she was confused about Su Cheng's sudden problem, Samuel raised an eyebrow.

But Samuel replied quickly:

"The winter of 290. In the Fortress of Avalon."

It was in the winter of 290 that Su Cheng arrived at the Avalon Fortress and officially took over the military power of the Knights of Michael.

It was at that time that Deng Jiaer followed Su Cheng to the Avalon Fortress and came to the Knights of Michael.

"Samuel, you only met Deng Jie in the winter of 290."

"And I met Deng Jiaer in the summer of 289."

"Although I didn't know you much earlier than you, I must know much more about Deng Jiaer than you."

"Dengjar followed me to pacify the peasant rebellion, which was neither big nor small, and followed me to fight the rescue war in the Lund Kingdom, and participated in the "Summer Wind" offensive."

"In addition to being friends, my relationship with Deng Jiaer is also working together to grow up with the old and juniors."

"Deng Jiaer can be said to have watched me grow up all the way, and I have also watched Deng Jiaer continue to grow and become stronger."

"I believe in my judgment and Deng Jiaer's ability and potential."

"So-Samuel, would you trust your leader?"

This time, Su Cheng looked directly at Samuel with unshakable firm eyes.

Samuel pursed his lips.

After a while, he sighed softly.

"... Xiaguan knows. Since you have reached this point, it is not convenient for Xiaguan to say anything more."

"But--the leader, the subordinate has a request."

"Tell me."

"Captain of the regiment, please let the lower officer serve as deputy commander of the vanguard force."

Samuel's words were beyond Su Cheng's expectations.

Before Su Cheng could ask why, Samuel explained himself:

"Since the leader is so optimistic about Deng Jiaer O'Brien, the official is also interested in her."

"The lower-ranking official wants to follow Deng Jiaer O'Brien and see with his own eyes whether she has the ability. It is worth the team leader's expectations."

"Captain, let me go to the Pioneer Force."

"You want to be the adjutant of Deng Jiaer..."

Su Cheng glanced at Samuel up and down a few times, then asked in a half-joking tone:

"Samuel, you are the Fanlan Knight now, and Deng Jiaer is still just a new Gui Knight. The class difference between you two is so much. Do you really don't mind being the adjutant of the New Gui Knight?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Samuel said in the same joking tone:

"Captain, when you first took over the military power of the Knights of Michael, you were just a Double Oak Knight. I was already a Fanlan Knight at that time. Haven't the subordinates still fulfilled their duties for you until now?"

Su Cheng was amused by Samuel's answer.

After chuckling a few times, Su Cheng said seriously:

"...Okay. Since you want to see it so much, let me go and see it."

"But you have to remember your identity in the Pioneer Force."

"You are in the Pioneer Force and are the adjutant of Deng Jiaer."

"Don't let me find any signs of disobeying Dengzal's orders."

"If I find out, I will send you directly to the Military Law Department."

"Don't worry, commander." Samuel saluted Su Cheng, "No matter how much I say, I am a knight with more than ten years of military experience. I have long been familiar with the rules in the army."

Click.

As soon as Samuel finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Samuel hurriedly turned around.

However, when he looked back, he could only see the unclosed door and the crack of the door that was neither big nor small.

"Did I hear it wrong..." Samuel murmured.

"No, you didn't hear it." At this time, Su Cheng continued, "I just saw it - it was just the sound of the wind blowing the door, so I just asked you to close the door first when you enter."

Just now, Samuel was anxious to question Su Cheng, but he was anxious for a moment and did not close the door tightly, leaving a crack that was neither big nor small.

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Samuel hurriedly said apologetically:

"Sorry, the leader of the group, I will pay attention in the future. Then the official will not disturb you now, so I will take the leave first."

After saying that, Samuel left Su Cheng's dormitory and helped Su Cheng close his door.

In fact—Su Cheng lied just now.

It wasn't the sound of the wind blowing the door.

It is a sound that someone accidentally makes when he leaves.

Because Su Cheng's body was facing the door, Su Cheng saw it clearly just now. Since Samuel started talking to him, someone was lying outside the door and eavesdropping on his conversation with Samuel through the crack of the door that was neither big nor small.
