Chapter 1051 The last line of defense (please vote for me)
Vera circled back and forth around Lorraine, always intentionally or unintentionally standing between Lorraine and the noble women opposite.
Lorraine was unwilling to try a few more times, but wherever his eyes turned, Vera's small body was one step ahead and blocking it, and then like a little fox who had succeeded, she looked at Lorraine with a smile. The only difference was
Not wagging that big tail triumphantly.
To say that the person who understands Lorraine best in the world is definitely Vera. Due to the soul contract, no matter what Lorraine is thinking about, Vera can always know it immediately - although for pure
For an innocent girl, there are many dirty things in Lorraine's mind that are a bit baffling.
In Catherine's opinion, this pair of living treasures really understand each other very well and are in perfect harmony with each other.
Lorraine often just looks at her and Vera knows what Lorraine wants to do.
This surprised Catherine and others, and it can only be attributed to the tacit understanding of Lorraine and Vera living together for a long time.
Just like now, Lorraine had an idea, but before she could put it into action, Vera stopped her one step ahead.
This made Lorraine feel very depressed.
Lorraine bared her teeth at Vera and said, "What are you doing? I'm just enjoying the scenery. Don't you think it's boring here?"
Vera pouted her rosy mouth, thought about it seriously, and agreed: "It's quite boring..."
Lorraine couldn't help but feel delighted. After all, this girl is still from her own family.
But then, Vera shook her head again and said: "But, no~!
Before I came, Sister Nicole and the others told me that I must watch the young master to death and not give you a chance to make mistakes."
After saying that, Vera stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful, clenched her fist tightly, and placed it in front of her tall chest, like a firm guard, expressing her firm determination to nip the danger in the bud.
Every time Lorraine comes out, Vera will always receive such a task. In Adele's words: Don't let those coquettish women outside seduce Lorraine.
Although they also have great confidence in Lorraine, there is Adele in the family. Adeline is so beautiful, but the ordinary beautiful woman Sir Lorraine can't even look at her.
But as a successful man, there are too many temptations outside. If Lorraine doesn't provoke other women, there will be women who take the initiative to come over to him.
What if Lorraine couldn't control it that day...
It's a trivial matter to have one more person eating. The important thing is that you can't afford to lose that person.
This large group of stunning beauties actually let him go out to find an old and ugly woman. This only shows that everyone has poor taste in choosing men.
The latter is especially intolerable to these beautiful girls.
As for Lorraine, she found another peerless beauty?
Is it possible that there are more beautiful beauties in the world than them?
Therefore, in order to defend their reputation, taste, and vision, everyone naturally guarded Lorraine tightly and would never allow him to take a step forward.
But women in the new era, who can hold up half the sky to everyone, have their own affairs to be busy with.
Catherine not only has to deal with the Eastern Province, but also helps Lorraine deal with the affairs of the Naian Province.
Adele, a generation of enchantress, also has to contribute to the art and literary undertakings in mainland China. She has to carry out Hope Primary Schools, poverty alleviation projects and so on.
Needless to say, Lorena, as the most promising magician to become the youngest alchemical wizard, just the experiments Lorraine threw at her, such as cloud bombs, VX nerve agents, non-magical powered aircraft... and so on.
, they are all too busy.
Hilmeria... His Majesty, the new Pope, also has many things to do and works hard day and night, not to mention, he also has a nursing child.
A group of demon girls are in a different place. Although most of the residents of this continent are kind-hearted, they are not suspicious of them because of their embarrassing status.
But don't forget, they all defected from the high priest.
Although the demons and undead hated Lorraine, they hated them even more for abandoning the justice of the country for the so-called personal happiness, failing the empire, betraying the high priest's earnest hope and cultivation for them, and resolutely eloped with the adulterer.
woman.
Therefore, for safety reasons, they still live in seclusion.
Not to mention, Lorraine was afraid that they would be bored, and in order to open up the market, he handed over the entire smuggling trade of Flying Eagle Company to the Demonic Continent into their hands.
In order to successfully open up the market in the shortest time, Lord Luo even used the big killer weapon of ‘MLM’.
None of these little ladies are vegetarians. They are all bringing disaster to the country and the people, uh, they are smart. They are all newcomers with backgrounds, connections, abilities, and connections.
As soon as they arrived in Nai'an, they were already aware of, and even shocked by, the vitality of that land and the affluence of the people.
Comparing the two, we also noticed how miserable and disaster-ridden the lives of the demon clan's people were.
Therefore, in order to allow ordinary people of the demon clan to live a good life like them.
They are now rolling up their sleeves and working hard to torment the smugglers and carry out various businesses in the Demon Continent, striving to complete the industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution in the Demon Continent in the future... so that the Demons can
Complete modernization in the shortest possible time.
Adeling, the most beautiful girl in the demon clan, even shouted, "Farmers will no longer be required to pay taxes within thirty years." This seemed to be a crazy and radical slogan.
Under this situation, they didn't have much time to take care of Lorraine at all, so Vera became the last line of defense for Lorraine's girlfriends.
From today's performance, we can see that Vera is also conscientious in carrying out this difficult task. Of course, maybe it may have something to do with Lorraine's failure to pay her wages in time yesterday?
But Lorraine immediately gave up her previous thoughts. This girl was stupid, never held grudges, and was definitely not that petty.
But seeing her being so uncompromising, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little angry. She leaned into Vera's ear and said viciously: "Am I that kind of person?"
Vera raised her head slightly, put her index finger on her red lips, thought for a few seconds, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes~!"
Lorraine curled her lips helplessly, looking at Vera's proud expression, and suddenly blew a breath of hot air into Vera's white and tender ears.
Vera exclaimed "Yeah", her face turned red instantly, her big blue eyes were covered with a layer of watery mist, and she looked at Lorraine tenderly.
The expression was pure and charming, with a hint of youthful charm, just like first love. Lorraine's index finger moved when she saw it.
The people around them just pretended not to see Lord Lorraine and his young companion. As nobles, everyone still has some emotional intelligence. They pretended not to see it and just chatted nearby, expressing themselves loudly to their companions.
My admiration for Lord Luo is like the endless waves of the river, and the overwhelming admiration of the Yellow River...
Seeing that she had no chance to get to know a few Almohad noble ladies, Lorraine had no choice but to turn her attention to the locals in front of her.
He coughed lightly, glanced at these local snakes, and asked: "As the gateway to Halua Province, is there anything special about Desai City?"
A nobleman in the middle responded first: "That is Hadou's territory. Commander-in-Chief, you don't know how arrogant Hadou and his gang are. He usually doesn't even allow us to get close to Desai City."
An old nobleman with long gray hair next to him sighed and said: "Yes, every time we go to Desai City, we are always questioned by Hadou's men, who treat us like thieves and investigate and defend us."
“More than twenty years ago, when Hadu didn’t come, the south was still the south of the empire. Since Hadu came, the south is no longer the south of the empire, but the south of Hadu.
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress was wise and brave, and she dug out Hadu, the great treasonous traitor.
Commander, for your righteous deeds, raising voluntary soldiers, and rescuing our Almohad Empire from danger, you are truly the great hero of our Almohad people~!"
"..."
People around him all agreed and praised Lorraine enthusiastically.
Of course they are sincere. During the years when Hadou was here, life for them, the nobles of the empire, was particularly difficult.
Hadou's control over the south was very complete, which naturally squeezed the inherent power of these nobles.
But someone in Hadu had a gun, and he acted like a gangster, which was quite shameless. Therefore, the nobles only dared to say bad things about Hadu under the covers, and did not even have the courage to scold Hadu in public.
After holding on for twenty years, Hu Hansan...well, the New Army finally fought back. Their time has come again.
If the New Army wants to establish a firm foothold, it cannot lack their support. To gain their support, it must cooperate with them.
Therefore, they can once again dominate and dominate in the south.
In fact, these people immediately started a fierce fight with the New Army, leading them to dig deep into the power of the Southern Army and eliminate Hadou's supporters. Every day, local resisters were hanged on the gallows by them and the New Army.
Listening to their useless flattery, Lorraine waved her hand to stop them, and said angrily: "Let's be practical."
Everyone was stunned, with angry expressions on their faces. But facing this old man, they did not dare to complain at all, or even have a trace of dissatisfaction on their faces.
Behind the crowd, a nobleman who had been silent for a long time came over and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I know a little about Desai's situation."
Lorraine looked this man up and down. He was of medium height and ordinary appearance, not conspicuous in the crowd at all, but he had a bit of a distinguished temperament, and he was always not in tune with the nobles around him.
This kind of person probably has some information in his belly, Lorraine thought to himself, then nodded and said: "You tell me."
The man said: "Yes, sir. Desai City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. As the gateway to Halua, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It guards the road to Haligad.
The garrison in Desai has always been Hadu's confidant. Even when the army was expanding in the previous month, the garrison in Desai was not mobilized."
Lorraine knew what he was talking about. Seeing Lorraine gradually showing an impatient expression, he hurriedly said: "The month before, Hadou transferred two more legions to strengthen Desai's defense."
"Oh?" Lorraine became interested when she heard that there was some useful information.
The man continued: "I have accurate information. Just two weeks ago, Hadou suddenly sent a confidant to take over Desai's defense."
Lorraine's eyes lit up and she asked anxiously: "Is it accurate?"
The man nodded and said, "I can vouch for this, sir. Although Hadu has blocked the entire city of Desai, I have my own news channel."
Lorraine couldn't help but take another look at this person.
The Southern Army sealed off the entire Desai City and nearby areas, not allowing anyone to leave. Lorraine looked at the current situation in Desai City as if he had opened a damn fog of war, and his eyes were filled with darkness.
This person can actually get news about defense changes, which shows that he is a thoughtful person and has some ideas in his mind.
Lorraine smiled and said kindly: "What's your name?"
The man bowed and said respectfully: "I am Marku Rufus."
Lorraine nodded and said, "Is that old horse? Very good. What else do you know?"
Rufus hesitated for a moment, intending to correct Lorraine's name for him, but he did not have the courage, so he had to continue: "The name of the person who took over the city defense is Ilerda, and he is one of Hardou's counselors.
The southern army is known as the wise general, and he has always been known for his insidiousness and cunning. He has always been stationed in the far south to suppress the uncivilized savage tribes in the south. Hadu transferred him here, which shows that he attaches great importance to Desai."
"Is he a wise general?" Lorraine rubbed the minibus and said, "How about Bihadu?"
Rufus chuckled and said: "Of course it is far inferior. Ilerda was originally a mountain bandit. After being defeated by Hadu, he took refuge in Hadu. Of course, in front of the Commander-in-Chief, he can only be regarded as a person.
Just a small fish and shrimp.”
Rufus patted Lorraine's ass a little, and then said with a solemn expression: "But there is a phenomenon that deserves vigilance."
"Huh?" Lorraine frowned and said, "You tell me."
Rufus hesitated for a moment and said: "When Ilerda first arrived, in order to boost the morale of the defenders, he said that he had a clever trick taught by Hardu himself, which could make your magic cannon useless.
"
Before Lorraine could speak, the surrounding nobles snorted and said disdainfully: "What a loud tone."
“I don’t know how deep the sky is and how high it is.”
"Peacekeepers crushing him would be like crushing a bed bug."
"..."
Lorraine nodded silently. Since it was Hadou's idea, he had to be careful. There might be undead tribe involved.
Rufus said: "When he was recognized, Ilerda summoned all the laborers in the city to prepare for large-scale construction. It seemed that a big project was going to be built. But since then, the city of Desai has been tightly sealed.
I can’t get any valuable information.”
Lorraine looked at Rufus and praised: "You are very good."
Rufus was startled at first, then his eyes flashed. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. This is what I should do."
"Be ambitious..." Lorraine thought to herself: Just be ambitious~!
Lorraine crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Rufus.
Rufus's expression certainly did not escape Lorraine's eyes. Lorraine had seen too many expressions like his in the past few years.
Those eyes are full of desire for fame and wealth, and the pursuit of opportunities, for which these people will do whatever it takes.
Rufus was stared closely at by Lorraine's eyes, and the pressure in his heart became increasing.
He knew that the young man opposite him was one of the most powerful people in the world and could decide the lives and deaths of thousands of people with just one word.
A little-known country aristocrat like him is like a little bug in the eyes of others, and it's from a wild dog that ran by the roadside - it's not worth mentioning at all.
But he was ambitious and ambitious, and was not willing to waste his life as a rich man in the countryside.
Under Hadou's suppression, he went from a young man in his prime to dormant for twenty years until he became a middle-aged man with a big belly.
How many twenty years can a person's life last?
Not to mention, these are still the most precious twenty years.
He naturally hated Hadou to the core of his being.
And this time he finally had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and naturally he would not let the opportunity slip away from him.
He was ambitious and showed his ambition. All that was left was to wait for Lorraine to decide his fate.
Although I believed that I could impress Lorraine, I felt uneasy at this time. Under Lorraine's gaze, the sweat on my forehead quickly flowed down, even though the mountain breeze was slightly cool.
Lorraine suddenly laughed, and Rufus also raised his lips and laughed guiltily. He hesitated whether to reveal his trump card, but it seemed too early to rashly reveal his trump card at this time.
Lorraine said: "Old Ma, I think you have some ideas, so follow me first."
Rufus first breathed a sigh of relief, then showed an expression of ecstasy, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, sir, for your support. I will do my best."
Lorraine waved her hand and said: "As long as you can prove your worth, I will only reward you."
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Rufus. Some were envious, some were jealous, and they secretly muttered "shit luck".
Rufus didn't need to look back to know the expressions of these nobles at this time. He knew them so well that he was even a little ashamed to be associated with them.
These people are short-sighted, greedy and only care about immediate interests.
As soon as Hadu was driven away, he couldn't wait to jump out, seize local interests, massacre the supporters of the Southern Army, and regarded himself as the local emperor here.
They also didn't think about what kind of person Queen Isabella was, a femme fatale who could play with Archduke Julius, the commander-in-chief of the peacekeeping force.
Will she allow the south to fall into the hands of local nobles like them just after it escaped Hadou's control?
Rufus saw this very clearly. Queen Isabella was actually the same type of person as Hadou, even more ruthless than him. Otherwise, how could she, a weak woman, defeat Hadou, a famous general in hundreds of battles?
?
Queen Isabella will temporarily cooperate with them, the local nobles in the south, and give up some of their interests to stabilize the rule of the occupied area.
Because Queen Isabella could use them, and when they were no longer needed, the Yankees would naturally not allow southerners like them to occupy these benefits.
At that time, it’s time to turn the gun and deal with them, the local rich people. What they can’t get from Hadou, they can’t get from Queen Isabella, and it will even be worse.
For the sake of the stability of his rule, Hadou will spare their lives, but Queen Isabella will take their heads without hesitation.
Judging from the information collected by Rufus, this woman can even sell herself for power, let alone these country bumpkin nobles?
If they want to avoid being cooked by rabbits and dogs and want to get ahead, their only way out is to embrace the thick thighs of the peacekeeping troops.
And he, Rufus, had already hugged him, and what he hugged was one of the thickest thighs in the peacekeeping force.
Seeing the jealous expressions of the people around him, Rufus sneered in his heart and said to himself: Cherish the remaining days, you won't be able to live for a few more days, man, I won't play with you anymore.
After a day's march, soon a hundred thousand troops led by Lorraine rushed outside the city of Desai and surrounded the city on three sides.
