Chapter 1188 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge (seeking a monthly ticket)
Lorraine lowered his head to look at the information in his hand that was sent back by the goblin silver light, and then looked up at the sky.
Probably because the terrain in the north is higher. The sky in the north is exceptionally clear and blue, with no impurities at all.
The sky is low, and the dome seems to be within reach.
As the temperature warms up, the flowers that bloom in early spring finally show their first splash of color, and red or blue flowers are scattered in the grass.
The ice and snow are melting at an accelerated rate, and the melted snow water keeps dripping from the eaves and then seeps into the slippery ground.
Due to the continuous infiltration of snow and water, the roads are muddy, and pedestrians are all cautious when going out.
They were jumping up and down the road like kangaroos, and even so, their shoes were covered in thick mud.
Moreover, on the road, from time to time you can see a carriage stuck in the mud. Even though the driver tried his best, he could not do anything about the carriage stuck in the pit. He could only stand blankly on the side of the road.
Watching helplessly as others pass by.
What's even more troublesome is that every few days, warm and humid air will suddenly blow in from the west wind.
When the air that is rich in water vapor encounters the barrier of mountains, it will continue to rise along the terrain, and then condense into water when it encounters cold, bringing a certain amount of precipitation to this place.
This further aggravates the poor condition of the roads.
And this is just in the city. If it is in the wild and on those simple roads, the situation will be even worse.
Therefore, the most favorite spring activities of the nobles, such as outings, hunting, picnics, etc., cannot be held.
Although spring has arrived, in the north, in Weizi City, we have not yet recovered from the long and boring winter.
The only advantage of this time of year is the bright sunshine.
I moved a deck chair and sat on the balcony, enjoying the warmth of the sun. With a cup of black tea on my hand, I leisurely opened a novel and joked with the slightly angry beauty next to me.
Or, like Mr. Lei and Xiaobai, they unscrupulously stood on the balcony, looking down from a high position, watching the pedestrians stumbling across the road, watching them throw a vicious dog on the muddy road to eat their shit, and then gloating over their misfortune, haha
Laughing. It can probably be considered a kind of enjoyment.
Although Lord Lorraine is sitting on the deck chair on the balcony today. There is red wine, black tea, various fruits, and a parasol on the coffee table next to him. There is also a half-open novel on the table.
But the prince could not be happy. That was because of the thin piece of paper in his hand, although it only contained a few words:
On March 27, 13,000 barbarians attacked Aocheng. Aocheng lured the enemy deep into the city, closed the door and beat the dogs. The barbarians were all wiped out. The clan leader fled. Aocheng planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand outward forcefully.
Lorraine thought for a long time. Suddenly she sighed and said, "Why do I always have a bad premonition?"
This feeling is like wearing a pair of custom-made Italian Moschi leather shoes, and going out to the street to have a good meal, but as soon as you go out, you feel something soft and sticky on your feet...
Very disturbing.
Leo curiously pulled the information out of Lorraine's hands and read it hastily. Then he said in the tone of an official spokesperson: "Boss, there is nothing to worry about. Our empire's Northern Army Group now has 500,000 regular troops.
, nearly a hundred legions are on alert.
All the soldiers are united and their morale is as high as a rainbow. When the snowmelt period is over, all the soldiers will march straight into Aldheim under the wise command of Marshal Maleton, and they will definitely annihilate the enemy cleanly and completely with a thunderous force..."
After Leo finished speaking these words in succession, he took a long breath, then curled his lips and added: "That's weird~!"
Although Mr. Lei is young, he is also very brave. He once followed Mr. Luo into the demon clan and saw the power and cunning of those undead lichs.
Although our side seems to have strong troops and horses, the enemy is definitely not difficult to deal with. But it is just difficult to deal with.
As the direct heir of the imperial royal family, he has been a typical Ruman since he was a child. In other words, this little kid has the pride unique to the Ruman.
At any time, he was extremely stubborn in believing that no matter how powerful the enemy was, the powerful and heroic Ruman people would surely win the final victory.
And this is what all the people of the Ruman Empire have always believed~!
He shook the battle report in his hand and said: "It's just more than ten thousand barbarians who threw themselves into the trap. It's not a big deal, right? Anyway, there are already hundreds of thousands of them, so there won't be more."
Then he casually threw the information on the table.
Lorraine rubbed her brows, then slowly shook her head and said, "No, no... something is wrong."
In the glass door behind the two of them, Adele, who was wearing a long floral dress and a simple look, gracefully held a small square made of jade with her two tender white fingers, and slowly spit out the red cherry from her small mouth.
In one sentence: "What a fool~!"
Then he said cheerfully: "The banker touches it himself, it's all the same, Grand Slam, give money, give money..."
"Ouch..." Adeline, Claudia and Princess Lulu lamented at the same time and pushed down the cards in front of them.
The girls were naturally looking after... no, visiting their boyfriends. Except for those who couldn't leave because of work, everyone else quietly came to this slightly cold northern provincial capital.
Although Weiji City is an important town in the north, it is much smaller than Ruman or Maple Leaf Danlin. Naturally, it is also much less interesting. This season is not suitable for sightseeing.
Bored girls can only amuse themselves here by playing cards, chatting, tossing... er... serving their boyfriends.
In addition to a few of them, there was Miss Milena who was studying hard, Fiona was busy making lunch in the kitchen, and Miss Vera was her assistant, helping out along the way.
Princess Lulu, who was unhappy because she lost cards, glanced at Adeling, wrinkled her nose playfully, and said: "Sister, do you know how to play cards? If you had left a note to play cakes just now, you would have been fooled just now.
Your playing style is wrong."
Adele couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
Those who didn't know, thought that Lu Tian really couldn't play cards, but those who knew knew that this girl was trying to lead people into the ditch - if he had left a note to play cakes just now, would he still be able to make a fool of himself?
She was about to open her mouth to speak. At this time, Lorraine outside the door felt something in her heart, then she jumped up with a slap on her thigh, and shouted excitedly: "I know what the problem is, the way of playing is wrong~!"
Princess Lulu raised her round shoulders gracefully and said proudly: "Look, even my cousin said so."
Lorraine walked in and deliberately rubbed Princess Lulu's hair. Amid her screams and protests, her long hair was messed up.
This annoying Princess Lulu always pulls Adele and the others away. They stay together no matter what happens. Sir Alex is restricted from even playing small games with his girlfriend.
But Lord Lorraine did not dare to complain about this cousin who was not staying at the peacekeeping force headquarters in Maple Leaf Danlin and came uninvited.
Because Princess Lulu has a very good relationship with her girlfriends, before Lorraine opens her mouth, Princess Lulu will flatten her mouth, make a tearful gesture, and complain to Adele and the others that "my cousin bullied me", and then
Lorraine, this cousin, will be punished by his girlfriend.
And Princess Lulu will always secretly show her triumphant attitude to Lord Lorraine after her victory.
At this time, Lorraine should have had a wonderful wet kiss with his girlfriend. In the end, he just kissed Adeline hard on her smooth and jade-like cheek.
Princess Lulu was combing her hair with tears in her eyes while baring her teeth at cousin Lorraine. Her expression was as cute as an angry kitten.
Adeling lowered her head and looked at the deck of cards in her hand, and said with some distress: "Is it really wrong? I think it's pretty good."
Lorraine smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Russell's playing style being wrong."
Leo turned around and lay on the back of the recliner, and asked puzzledly: "Why is this style of play wrong?"
Lorraine touched his nose and said: "This is like the enemy chose a place with a lot of minerals to build a base at the beginning, and crazily suppressed troops and built buildings. He did not send troops or open a base.
They didn't attack, so there didn't seem to be any threat.
But when you reach the middle game, you will suddenly find that the enemy's base has become a climate. There are many soldiers and generals, and the defense is complete. However, you only have a group of skirmishers in your hand who have not upgraded their armor and attack.
How should you fight?"
Leo said without thinking: "Of course, give priority to the speed of upgrading, constantly harass, set fire to it and leave. If his soldiers are few, he will eat them. If he sends more soldiers, he will run away. From time to time, he will surround him for reinforcements and destroy the enemy's development.
Rhythm.
When the enemy is slowed down and overwhelmed, all the troops can finally be concentrated to deal with it at once."
Even Princess Lulu understood such a simple truth clearly. She nodded slightly and said, "Little fat man, do you still have some wisdom?"
"That's it, brother, who am I?
The world's top ten outstanding young people, the top ten outstanding business wizards, the top ten outstanding future political stars. The first Nobel Peace Prize winner." Leo patted his belly with both hands proudly, and then solemnly corrected Princess Lulu.
With a bad language, he said: "Also, don't say I'm fat. I'm not fat at all~! I'm called plump. Do you know? You want breasts but not breasts, butt but not butt, and diploma but not diploma~
!”
An arrow through the heart~!
Princess Lulu looked down at her breasts and suddenly became furious. She said something bad, but she mentioned her own pain point.
Not to mention the arrogant Princess Lulu, no one can stand her.
Her eyebrows stood up in hatred, and she immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to start a fight with Leo.
Next to him, Adele hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Lulu, don't be angry, don't be angry. We won't care about him like a little kid."
With great difficulty, Princess Lulu was stopped. Then she said: "By the way, it's time for everyone to pay, right?"
Only then did Princess Lulu realize it. She couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead and sighed. There was no good person in this family. She might as well have had a fight with that little gangster just now~!
Lorraine ignored their nonsense, reached out and flicked the note in his hand, saying: "Russell's current style of play is not right.
Our original plan was to lure the dark mages out of Aldheim and let the barbarians hold them back with constant small attacks, just like the way the barbarians fight with our Ruman."
The wars between the barbarians and the Ruman Army in the mountainous areas were mostly hide-and-seek guerrilla warfare. If you hit and run, you would hide if you were pursued. If you really can't hide, you should consider whether to fight to the death or surrender.
Leo nodded thoughtfully and said: "We are not fighting siege warfare and positional warfare like now."
Lorraine nodded and said: "The barbarians are taking the initiative to attack Aldheim. This is basically sending troops to the lich. This is different from our plan."
It is very unwise to use a weak force to attack the enemy and maintain a long-term persistence.
Of course Lorraine could see that Russell was the shareholder behind this plan.
I was quite in favor of Russell's profit-making plan at the beginning, thinking that Russell's bunch of lazy fools were finally smart for once.
But he didn't expect his men to manipulate the barbarians in this way.
Lorraine paced back and forth in the room, frowning and thinking for a moment, then suddenly opened the door, summoned an ordinary attendant, and whispered in his ear: "Go control Russell or Gore as soon as possible.
The barbarian’s plan is over.”
The attendant nodded and quickly disappeared into the corridor.
The order was issued instantly from this humble villa, and the northern branch of the venture capital company immediately started operating with extremely high efficiency.
Within half an hour, Deputy Station Manager Phillips received the message from Section Chief Mansfield.
Deputy Station Director Phillips immediately stood up and walked to Baron Gore's office. As expected, Baron Gore was not in the office. Also disappearing with him were three new young secretaries from the Secretariat.
Deputy Station Director Phillips dismissed his secretary and spent a while alone in Baron Gore's office, during which the secretary brought him a cup of hot tea.
Half an hour later, Deputy Station Chief Phillips, who had lost his patience, left Baron Gore's office.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, when Vera was still taking a nap, the attendant placed the document bag sandwiched in the thick forgotten letters in front of Lord Lorraine.
"So fast~!" When Lorraine started to open the letter, Princess Lulu could no longer hold back her surprise and curiosity and asked aloud.
The efficiency of venture capital companies opened Princess Lulu's eyes.
With just one sentence in the morning, I got the contents of the Northern Intelligence Headquarters founded by Russell in the afternoon, and it was still top secret.
Lorraine looked at the intelligence in his hand that collected all kinds of information, and said without raising his head: "Actually, it's not that evil. It's just because we are in the same city as him."
"Is it just because of this?" Princess Lulu tilted her little head, with an expression of disbelief written all over her face.
Lorraine nodded affirmatively.
"Hmph~!" Princess Lulu gave her cousin a dissatisfied look. Although Lorraine and Adele did not hide most of their work from Lulu, there were still some things that the princess of the Elf Kingdom would not let.
Got it.
The longer she was kept from knowing, the more curious Princess Lulu became. She couldn't help but stretched her neck and poked her little head to take a hard look at the things at Lorraine's hand.
As a result, Lulu's head was getting closer and closer to Lord Lorraine. When Lorraine looked up, he suddenly found that Princess Lulu's pretty face was almost touching his shoulder.
Lorraine simply pushed all the documents in her hand to Princess Lulu. Princess Lulu first blushed, then with a pretty face, she picked it up unceremoniously.
"These are all messy things." Looking at the things in her hand that looked like bills and account books, Princess Lulu frowned in confusion. Could this be the so-called information?
"In your eyes, this is numbers, in the eyes of professionals, this is intelligence," Lorraine tapped Princess Lulu's smooth forehead, pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom, and waved it in front of Princess Lulu.
, was captured by Princess Lulu.
The above is the conclusion of Venture Capital's intelligence analysts, who believe that Gore was ordered to launch an aggressive and large-scale offensive agitation and seduction among the savages.
The barbarians and lich must fight to the death.
Lorraine patted her legs and stood up, saying, "I must remind Russell. This old guy is playing with fire."
Immediately a telegram was sent from Weizi City to Ruman using a confidential signal.
That night, when Lorraine was happily having dinner with her girlfriends, Russell's reply was delivered to Lorraine.
Lorraine glanced at it and immediately slapped the table angrily, saying: "This old guy, just give him three points of color and open a dyeing workshop."
Leo grabbed the telegram, read it out loud, and said: "Your Excellency has been in the north for less than a month, so you may not have a full grasp of the situation. I believe that our colleagues in the north are well prepared to deal with various situations, so you don't need to worry too much.
Everything is under control.
In addition, the peacekeeping force needs the count to return to take charge of the work as soon as possible.
Damn~!”
Leo also followed Lorraine and slammed the table hard, shouting angrily: "Doesn't this guy think we are nosy and wants us to get out of here as soon as possible?"
Lorraine flattened her mouth and nodded helplessly.
"He is trying to burn bridges." Leo jumped up and shouted: "The agents who broke into the inside are our people. Gaining the trust of the lich is also the result of the company's actions. The company's dedicated line is used to deliver the news.
Now that we are about to have a showdown, nothing will happen to us~!"
"When you ask someone to work hard, you scream very sweetly. When you are about to pick peaches, you kick him aside." Lorraine laughed angrily and said, "It is indeed Russell's style."
Counting this time, this old guy has tricked me twice.
"But," Princess Lulu pouted her little mouth slightly, and said after thinking for a while: "Cousin, aren't we just here to help? There is nothing wrong with my cousin in the northern war zone. Why come here to eat this cold wind and suffer this
crime?"
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead and said, "Yeah, it's not like I have anything to do in the Northern War Zone."
The general direction of the northern theater was controlled by Emperor Rudrun, the strategic policy was formulated by Russell, and the tactical execution was controlled by Marquis Marreton.
And he was neither an official in charge of the military department nor the commander-in-chief of the northern theater. He was only called to support the intelligence work against the barbarians.
His current identity is the Governor of Nai'an and the deputy commander-in-chief of the peacekeeping force. He does not even have a military position in Ruman.
Russell was really confident in letting himself go.
Damn it, I’ve been played with!
Leo became anxious and grabbed Lorraine's sleeve and said, "Boss, you can't do this. What Russell is squandering now is my future family property.
Can you bear to watch him destroy your brother-in-law, me, and my family?"
Lorraine shook her head decisively and said, "No, otherwise your sister won't be able to spare me."
"No, let's complain to the emperor's uncle." Leo smashed the table in anger, causing the dishes on the table to clang.
"This is the emperor's intention in itself." Lorraine sighed, Russell's actions were all approved by Rudrun.
After a moment of silence, Lorraine suddenly said: "I'm going to find the Marquis of Maleton and ask him to persuade Russell to be more careful."
