.Chapter 968: Scene in the Rain (6,000, please vote for me)
After most of the legions were sent out for exercises, without those brats doing illegal and disciplinary things, the headquarters in Hafs Harbor suddenly became quiet. Chinese website
Not only did the gendarmes feel much more relaxed, but even the dogs in Hafsport felt lucky to have escaped and survived.
After all, that bunch of bastards are really capable of causing mischief.
Lord Luo was on Labor Day, taking a long vacation, so that he could relax after having been tense for so many days. He only needed to go to the headquarters occasionally every day to learn about the activities of his subordinates, and the rest
Leave it all to the staff to deal with.
With this rare holiday, Lord Lorraine could finally sit comfortably among his girlfriends and enjoy the treatment of being a master with someone serving tea and water, and rubbing his shoulders and back.
However, as the senior commander of the legion, he still retained a trace of vigilance in his heart. Therefore, when the heavy rain fell suddenly, Lorraine immediately thought of the peacekeeping troops who were marching.
For a moment, maybe ten seconds, Lorraine seriously sympathized with the peacekeepers.
The heavy rain was pouring down outside the window, hitting the green banana trees not far away - Jiutian Literature - as hard as it was.
Tell me quickly, will Prime Minister Russell have a car accident recently?"
Adele couldn't help being furious, she said "bah bah" twice, gave Lorraine and the others a roll of their eyes, and said coquettishly: "What is a crow's mouth, what I call experience, okay?"
That is my rich life experience, hum~"
As he spoke, his delicate lower jaw slightly raised, with a look of arrogance on his face.
Although among these women, there are quite a few who can claim to be 'this palace', and although Adele is not among these people, but now, those palace dramas are becoming popular, which has greatly affected them.
Even Melina sometimes plays with Leo, pretending to be the Empress Dowager Cixi and calling the chairman of the Flying Eagle Company "Xiao Leizi".
Moreover, the most sad thing is that that stupid boy Leo didn't even look at this kind of banned vulgar novels with low values and unhealthy thoughts. As a result, Milena lied to him that it was some kind of pet name, so,
He happily agreed.
Because of this incident, the young master was teased by everyone for three months, but since then, Mr. Lei has fully realized a truth - in this world, it is really impossible not to study~
At this time, Adele raised her delicate white hand, pointed outside, and continued: "Don't believe it. At times like this, in the prairie and on the sea, there might be tornadoes in some places. If you don't believe it, just wait and see.
"
Lorraine smiled at this time. He knew that sudden heavy rains in summer are often accompanied by hail. He had seen it more than once or twice, but tornadoes...
"Let's avoid the tornado," Lorraine said in his heart. Although those soldiers were all a bunch of bastards, they were all his younger brothers after all. He didn't want his troops to show up before the war officially started.
Non-combat attrition.
Looking at the hail falling outside, Lorraine sighed and said, "I originally just wanted them to suffer a little bit, but now...I suddenly feel sympathy for them."
"Ouch~"
At this moment, a cheerful shout suddenly came from outside, interrupting everyone's conversation.
Lorraine turned around and saw a short figure appearing in his sight. He held a large wooden board above his head and rushed into the heavy rain and hail with a whirlwind.
The hailstones hit the wooden planks, making a thumping sound.
Lorraine was startled.
Because looking at his figure, this brave guy is none other than the extraordinarily brave little uncle Leo.
And what he was holding on top of his head was an extra-large wooden pot lid. I really don’t know where Leo found this thing.
Leo rushed into the hail and ran around happily. I don't know what he was so happy about.
For a moment, Lorraine couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Although she was born as a child, the world of this child was far beyond what she could understand.
At this time, Milena also rushed out from nowhere.
She stood at the door of the hall, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Leo, come back quickly, the hail will kill people."
"No," Leo kicked the small ice cubes under his feet and said stiffly, "Wait a minute, when the ice gets bigger, I'll have to play the rapids again..."
Catherine was so angry that her head hurt.
She slapped the handrail and jumped up, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said in a bitter voice: "It's really... It's really three days without a fight, and I'll go to the house to uncover the tiles~ It seems that this little gangster is itchy again..."
As he said that, he flicked his skirt and walked out angrily.
Immediately afterwards, screams came out from the pouring rain...
Two hundred miles away from Hafsport, the Fourth Holy See Legion was also surrounded by heavy rain and hail.
Because they were in the wilderness and right in the center of the storm, the hailstones that fell on Archbishop Sandos and the others were a little bigger than those in Hafsport.
When hailstones the size of fingertips fell from the sky, Archbishop Sandos' first thought was, I'm going to die here.
"Mir, Anna, Christina, Joe... I will never see you again," Archbishop Sandos closed his eyes and thought to himself, "By the way, there are also my dog Jack and my old horse Lightning.
, I wonder if anyone will take care of them if I die...
I can be considered a sacrifice in the line of duty. According to convention, after death, I should be awarded a first-level title. I should be given a cardinal's funeral...
, even the funeral of the red archbishop, I don’t want it~
If I had known that he would be like this, I would not have come. I regret not listening to my old words...
Great Father God ~
Merciful Father God~
Seeing how I have been your little brother for so many years, if you give me another chance, I will never be a damned general...
I'm still young, I want to be a cardinal, I don't want to die..."
Archbishop Sandos kept praying to God the Father. If calculated seriously, this was probably the most pious he had ever been in his life.
But at the same time, he completely forgot to issue orders to his soldiers.
Immediately, several hailstones fell from the sky and hit him. Archbishop Santos let out an 'ouch' in pain, but when he touched the hit area, he had a look of surprise and joy on his face and said: "It's not very bad either."
Does it hurt..."
When the hail came, the surrounding soldiers also scurried away one after another.
Although the small ice cubes cannot hit anyone, they will cause pain and bruises on the body. And who can guarantee that in this terrible weather, a hailstone the size of a brick will not suddenly appear and hit the body in the next moment.
On your own head?
They hurriedly looked for a place to hide. Some hurriedly put on their own armor or raised their own shields to resist the hail falling from the sky.
In the end, the person who really had no place to hide found a good place under the carriage board, so he simply ducked under the carriage.
The four-wheeled carriage loaded with baggage was quite wide, with the carriage board almost one meter high from the ground.
Although there was muddy water under the car that was as heavy as an ankle, I couldn't care less about it at the moment. It was better to squat in the muddy water than to be beaten outside.
Even Archbishop Santos was in a state of despair. He was dragged by his entourage and pushed into the carriage and dismounted. With a dull expression on his face, he was crowded back to back with his subordinates and sat on the dirty floor.
In muddy water.
Even so, Archbishop Sandos looked at the hail outside and felt as if he was in heaven.
This extremely bad weather came and went quickly, and the hail only lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped.
The heavy rain gradually subsided after half an hour.
Archbishop Sandos climbed out from under the car in a daze. In front of him was a scene that looked like the end of the world.
The soldiers looked very tired and embarrassed. They gathered together in a haphazard manner. Some were standing with their weapons supported, and some were simply sitting in the muddy water.
Armor and weapons, as well as tents, pots and bowls, and other things were scattered on the muddy ground.
Even the military flag fell to the ground without knowing when, and was stepped into the mud by everyone's big feet.
Archbishop Sandos looked around, and suddenly thought of something. He touched his body up and down with his hands until he found that not a single part was missing. Archbishop Sandos breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then carefully touched his chest.
He crossed himself and said to himself: "Thanks to the great God of Light, I am still alive~"
Archbishop Santos felt relieved, but suddenly there was a burning pain all over his body, as if his whole body had been trampled by a herd of cows. Then he felt wet clothes clinging to his body. He shivered from the cold.
, there is a sticky feeling like mud in the clothes.
My whole body felt sleepy, tired, and weak, as if I was going to die soon.
Archbishop Santos had been pampered all his life and had never suffered such a crime. The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt. Finally, his nose became sore and tears fell down. He only missed sitting on the ground and crying bitterly.
An officer who was also covered in muddy water, holding his helmet under his arm, walked to Archbishop Sandos step by step through the muddy water, raised his arm and saluted.
The officer steeled himself and said, "Sir, what should we do next? My lord, my lord~"
Archbishop Sandos kept feeling sorry for himself, staring blankly into the distance, until the officer shouted several times in a louder voice, and Archbishop Sandos suddenly shuddered and woke up.
Seeing that the person in front of him was his confidant, Archbishop Sandos grinned and cried: "Syb, what should we do?"
The officer smiled bitterly and thought to himself: He knew that this old man was confused, and then said: "Sir, you should give the order to camp and rest, make a fire to cook, and make some hot soup to get rid of the cold. I'm afraid someone will get sick."
Archbishop Sandos nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, Cyber, I'll do as you say."
The soldiers of the Fourth Holy See Legion struggled and managed to set up a tent in the muddy water. Then the exhausted soldiers fell on the cot, with only one thought in their minds: This is different from what we thought. If I had known that being a soldier would be so hard,
Grandson is coming~
After spending a long time in bed, Archbishop Sandos fell ill that night.
Reports from each legion were sent to the headquarters one after another the next day. The staff at the headquarters looked at the miserable conditions of each legion and heartlessly stayed away to enjoy themselves.
Lorraine had anticipated a possible bad situation. A group of inexperienced recruits were paired with a group of inexperienced officers. It was normal for them to be at a loss when encountering such a sudden situation.
But when Lorraine saw the report, she was still shocked by the real situation.
All legions suffered varying degrees of losses, but the Holy See's troops accounted for the majority.
Some people were injured by hailstones, some got sick from taking showers, and some were trampled and injured while running around in a panic.
A legion commander of the Holy See even submitted an application for recuperation to the headquarters. The legion commander was too old. After being caught in the rain, he caught wind and cold, and was frightened. His legion encountered an unexpected incident because it stayed in the wrong place.
There was a flash flood. Fortunately, the knights ran fast and no one was injured. Only dozens of carriages filled with baggage were swept away by the flood, including their carriages and horses.
The old bishop was dragged out by his own men. As a result, he had a high fever and even started talking nonsense.
In desperation, his subordinates could only ask the headquarters for a replacement.
Lorraine agreed with a swipe of his pen, and at the same time called him a fool for not understanding the basics of marching and almost killing half of the legion.
However, at the same time, he was secretly happy, although those guys from the Vatican were still
Due to the resignation of the old bishop, there was a vacancy in the legion commander. Lorraine transferred the legion commanders who had demoted their ranks before departure and asked the bishop to come to the headquarters as deputy chief of staff.
After a demonstration, many archbishops secretly moved. When their romantic feelings were shattered by the harsh environment and fatal dangers, the disillusioned archbishops lost interest in war. They found that fighting was no fun at all.
Therefore, he pretended to be ill and asked to be transferred back to the headquarters for training.
Or the fancy cars and BMWs at the back, and the banquet and fine wine are more suitable for them.
Lorraine snickered while approving their application. Lorraine originally expected that these guys could survive the first stage, but they changed their minds after a heavy rain.
At the same time, various legions affiliated with the Holy See expressed that they would stop and station for a few days to treat patients. They also issued a long list of requests for supplies to Lorraine, ranging from horses and vehicles to weapons, food, medicine, etc.
All these things were lost in the heavy rain.
But getting these things to them accurately was enough for Lorraine to scratch her head.
Amidst the stumbling, the exercise continued to advance step by step.
Fortunately, after that, except for the occasional high temperature of more than 30 degrees, there was no more extreme weather.
Archbishop Santos recovered quickly after suffering from fever for a day and night. He was still young and his physical condition was much better than that of his peers.
After a whole day of repairs, the entire Fourth Army Corps recovered well and embarked on the march again.
However, compared with the high morale at the time of departure, the current Fourth Army seemed weak from top to bottom.
Archbishop Sandos rode on the horse, his head lowered, and his body swayed with the horse's footsteps.
In the past few days, Archbishop Sandos has lost a lot of weight, and his originally smooth and rosy face has become dull, much darker than before.
The archbishop raised his head to look at the scorching sunshine above his head, cursed secretly, waved his hand and said: "Stop, rest for three hours."
Saibo, the officer next to him, advised: "Sir, if you don't hurry up, we won't be able to meet the scheduled time."
Archbishop Santos smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, if you can't catch up, then you can't catch up. If we continue like this, our people will suffer from heatstroke. Alas..."
Archbishop Santos sighed. He also thought about simply pleading sick and going back to recuperate. Whoever likes to fight can do it.
But when he thought about the promises he had made to his girlfriends before setting off, Archbishop Sandos gritted his teeth and made up his mind to hold on. This was a matter of a man's dignity.
Archbishop Sandos secretly warned himself to persist, persist, and persist.
A few days later, Archbishop Sandos appeared in front of the staff, almost unrecognizable to them.
Not only did the archbishop lack the dignity he had when he set out, he was also very tanned.
When he saw the people from the staff, Archbishop Santos' eyes turned red and he almost cried. He raised his head and let out a long sigh and said, "We're finally here."
The staff member came up with a straight face and said, "Is this Mr. Sandos of the Fourth Legion?" Without skipping a word.
"It's me."
"Your department is four days late. According to regulations, six points will be deducted."
Archbishop Santos shrugged and said, "Just button it."
The staff officer handed a large, completely sealed envelope to Archbishop Sandos, with an expressionless expression: "This is the next step of instructions from the headquarters to your department. Please follow it. We will monitor your battle situation and report back to the headquarters in real time.
"
Archbishop Santos opened the envelope. He originally thought that after these ten days of training, he had become calmer. However, when he took out the order and took a look, the expression on the Archbishop's face changed instantly.
In front of the staff of the staff, the archbishop cursed fiercely and said: He is cheating on you~
