"The Grand Duchy of Delong?" General Melun muttered in a low voice, still looking confused.
Although he finally knows which country he is in, General Melun's problem has not been solved smoothly: the Grand Duchy of Dron - what kind of place is this?"
Because he has never heard of the name of the Grand Duchy of Delon, let alone knowing exactly where this country is on the mainland. How far is it from Fantino? How far is it from Ryder?
Although the Semitic continent was split into two parts and there were attacks on each other, compared to the human race, they were still dwarfed.
There are hundreds of countries in the human continent, thousands of grand duchies, and autonomous territories. In addition, there are also many counts and barons... These humans, relying on their unique bad roots, are constantly attacking and fighting each other.
Today, General Hadou invades Ruman, and tomorrow Grand Duke Ruman attacks the city of Samarkand. The day after tomorrow, Maple Leaf Danlin forms a large army and goes to the Almohad Empire to maintain their peace. The day after tomorrow, join forces with [***] to go to Chaero
Nuclear weapons, the day after tomorrow, the Almohad Empire civil war breaks out... In short, there will be big wars one to three five, and small battles every day.
The entire human continent is in constant smoke, and there is almost no let-up for a day.
Under this situation, the territory in the hands of the bosses keeps changing. Today it belongs to you, tomorrow it belongs to him, and the day after tomorrow it is my turn... It is extremely confusing.
Normally, even with a map, you might not be able to find the place. What's more, General Melun didn't even have a map in his hand.
It turned out that he had it. But when he got off the boat, he was in such a hurry that he forgot about it.
General Mellen was busy rescuing his box of top-notch whiskey produced by the Chivas Regal Distillery - Royal Salute 21 Years Out of Print Collection commemorative wine, priceless crystal wine sets, and the classic representative work of the critical realism genre - "Meat"
"Futon". And a series of photorealistic oil paintings - "Playboy" created by Leonardo da Vinci, the most famous painter in the Renaissance... By the time General Melun calmed down and remembered the map, he had already disembarked from the ship and landed.
It's afternoon the next day.
When he hesitated to send a few soldiers and risked going back to take out the map, several broken troops from other troops escaped from the eastern battlefield.
In order to get rid of the responsibility for the defeat, they exaggerated the power of mankind as much as possible-these soldiers told General Melun that mankind had assembled hundreds of thousands of troops under Fantino City, and all the soldiers were at the level of Paladins
, all of them are at the level of magicians above mid-level officers...and what’s even more frightening is that they are about to catch up~!
After receiving the news, the Fourth Division did not hesitate at all and accelerated all the way to the west.
General Melun also figured it out. If you don’t have a map, you don’t have a map. Anyway, you can’t go wrong by running westward.
In order to get rid of the pursuers, the Fourth Division marched day and night. Everyone was running dizzy. It was not until they felt that the pursuers behind them could not easily catch up with them that they calmed down.
At this time, everyone realized that they had arrived at a place called the Grand Duchy of Delong.
General Melun scratched his head in distress and asked: "How far is your Grand Duchy of Delon from Fantino?"
The old man showed a confused expression, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's far away anyway. We, a noble man, went on a pilgrimage to Fantino a few years ago, and it took more than half a year before we came back."
"How far are you from Ryder City?"
"Ryde City? Never heard of it." The old man shook his head decisively.
General Melun smiled bitterly.
He realized that it was a mistake for him to ask this old man. There was no way that such an old man, who could never travel a hundred miles in his life, knew anything useful.
"Okay, where are the nobles in your area?" He asked with the last glimmer of hope - as long as he can find a local noble, I believe he should know this.
"Noble sir?" The old man gave a wry smile, then waved his hand vigorously and said: "Run away, ran away long ago, and they will all be gone before Delong City starts fighting."
Everything was back to where it started - General Melun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but suddenly noticed the old man's words, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: I am really stupid~!
If the mountains don't come, I'll be there. If I can go, the mountains will be the only ones.
Since I can't find my current location, shouldn't I just go find their capital?
That should be ours now.
When he thought of the city, General Melun felt his nose sore and felt like crying. Whenever he shivered with cold in the wilderness, he missed the soft bed, hot water, good wine and delicious food.
He now suspected that he had a faulty brain and had to take on this drudgery.
General Melun couldn't wait to ask: "Where is Delong City? Where is your capital?"
The old man pointed to the north and replied very simply: "There."
Melun turned to look at the northern horizon and said, "Is that to the north...how far is it?"
The old man thought for a while and said: "It's only two days' walk north."
"Two days' walk north is almost two hundred miles." General Melun thought to himself: It's not that far.
He casually took out a gold coin, put it into the old man's hand, and said, "Thank you, old man."
The old man was shocked. He looked at the gold coins in his hand stupidly, his mind was confused, and he thought to himself: Why didn't this high-ranking official of the demon tribe steal the things and return the money? Isn't it completely different from the legend?
The old man subconsciously poked his head out to look at the sun outside. Yes, it was in the south. How could this be possible?
At this time, General Melun found that he had found a way out of the predicament with his own wisdom, and he couldn't help but be very proud of his IQ.
He looked excited and was about to order the entire army to continue advancing north to find Delong City.
At this time, the old man thought for a while, and then continued: "Oh, by the way, I heard that there is a war in Delong City."
"Fight...fight, fight, fight~!" General Melun couldn't take a breath, choked on his own spit, and exclaimed in surprise.
When the division commander shouted "fight", the surrounding soldiers of the fourth division jumped up like frightened rabbits.
Everyone shouted in panic: "Is there a war?"
"Where?"
"Who called?"
"Humans are coming after me?"
"Safety first, run, run!"
"The wind is so tight."
"Sir, where is sir?"
"It's up to them to worry about it. Just run away first."
"..."
The soldiers swarmed around like a swarm of flies, not knowing where to go.
General Melun's face turned dark when he saw it, and he felt despair in his heart: How could it be possible to win the battle with these soldiers?
But who makes this Caribbean Fourth Division the most special?
This division was originally formed by generals sent directly from the Ministry of Military Affairs. The soldiers were all sailors, fishermen, and small businessmen from the Caribbean. These people were originally greedy for life and afraid of death, and liked to care about everything.
Not to mention, they were all brought by officers from the countryside with ropes in hand.
One can imagine the morale of this person.
Even so, if the officers lead it well and train them more, although it cannot reach the standard of a strong and elite army, it can at least be regarded as a second-rate division.
But...however, the original commander of the 4th Division sent by the central government was a stupid fool, his brain was muddled by shit. Seeing that Caribbean City was rich, he started to have evil thoughts.
He actually conspired to assassinate the lord of Caribbean City, Iskander, one of the seven royal families.
It really lives up to the famous saying: If you don’t die, you won’t die~!
Don't even look at who Iskander is.
Although the old guy is not very good in person, he is timid and cowardly, and he is notoriously afraid of his wife. But he belongs to the seven royal families, not to mention, he also has a cheap son-in-law, the majestic Flying Eagle God of War, the Count of Lorraine, and the high priest.
That devil-like figure has suffered losses at his hands, but why are you messing with his father-in-law?
What is this if not committing suicide?
As a result, the original commander of the Fourth Division was killed directly.
The Fourth Division then fell into the hands of the Caribbean City Lord, Fiona's father, and Lorraine's cheap father-in-law. Melun, who was originally a playboy, suddenly discovered that the great devil actually heard his prayers and came true.
He realized his childhood dream of becoming a general and became the commander of the Fourth Division.
However, as a playboy, apart from picking up girls and drinking wine, and writing a few lines of low-grade poems, what else can he do?
Except for the first month, the Fourth Division did not receive much training. Melun himself did not understand this, and all the knowledgeable officers were kicked out.
So until they boarded the ship, the soldiers of the Fourth Division had been living a happy military life with no worries about food and drink.
Now when they suddenly heard that there was a battle, these soldiers were all scared to death. As soon as they got their bearings, they ran away.
General Melun's face turned red and his neck was thick with anger. He roared angrily and shouted: "Why panic? The humans haven't come here yet. There is a war in the distance."
"Hey, you should have told me earlier~!" the soldiers couldn't help but complain.
Because they got along with each other a lot, they also knew General Melun quite well. They knew that this ruffian had no other skills except drinking wine and watching "Meat Futon", so they didn't have the slightest fear.
On the contrary, we are somewhat close, we are all fellow villagers, and the boss has a pretty good character and never forces everyone to train.
After the soldiers discovered that it was a false alarm, they immediately fell down and went back to sleep - they were exhausted and exhausted after traveling non-stop for several days.
General Melun lamented, feeling that his future was bleak, and then asked: "Old man, who is fighting whom in Delong City?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard it was a war and it has been going on for a long time."
General Melun used his clever mind to think secretly. The war can only be fought between humans and Semites. It seems that this war will not last for a day or two.
"Would it be unsafe if I go there now?"
After thinking for a long time, General Melun decided to go over and take a look, because the lack of food was an imminent problem. In four or five days, he and his men would have to chew the bark of the tree, if there was any bark left.
Melun had already made a plan in his mind. If the Semites had the upper hand, he would stay a few more days and maybe he could get some credit.
If the Semites don't have the upper hand... then ask friendly forces for some food support and continue looking for the "large force".
After resting in this dilapidated village for most of the day, the soldiers of the 4th Caribbean Division set off again, heading north with the goal of Delong City.
General Melun and all the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division still don't know what kind of war is waiting for them ahead.
Traveling day and night, the Fourth Division, which had lost almost all its heavy equipment, was marching at a good speed, but it took three full days to reach the outskirts of Delong.
Only then did General Melun realize that the old human farmer could walk faster than he could march.
Just as General Melun raised his telescope and looked around nervously, fearing that a human army would suddenly come out from there.
"Report, report to the general." Several soldiers in civilian clothes ran back quickly.
That was the soldiers he sent in disguise to scout out Delong City. If the battle ahead was unfavorable, he would continue to turn westward.
"Good news, good news~!" The makeup scout danced happily, rushed through the layers of people, and shouted excitedly.
General Melun's nerves had been tense and hypersensitive for a while. When he suddenly heard a piece of good news, he couldn't believe his ears and asked anxiously: "What good news?"
"We, we found out..." The scout gasped and said, "We found out, the food transport team is not far from here."
General Melun smiled from ear to ear. This was really great news. He kept asking: "Where are they? How many people are there?"
"More than ten miles to the west, there are thousands of people, without any military protection." The scout's eyes also shone brightly, and he rubbed his hands happily.
"This is a big fat sheep delivered to your door."
"We must not let them escape~!"
The soldiers surrounded General Melun and shouted excitedly. They only had half of the daily ration of food, and their eyes were already green from hunger.
If there might not be humans chasing after them, these soldiers would have mutinied long ago, demanding higher wages, benefits, and a five-day work week.
Some people even shouted in a familiar voice: "The gangster explores the road, the stick beats the enemy, the knife buys the bottom, and eats these white goods."
Looking at his fierce eyes, everyone around him immediately stepped back three feet. Everyone knew in their hearts that this guy must have been a robber before~!
The scout suddenly frowned and said with some confusion: "However, the flag the other party is flying is very strange. It seems to be a flower. It is not our flag, and it does not look like a human flag."
"Boss, don't hesitate, our brothers will starve to death in two days."
"The other party doesn't have any guards. It's obvious that they are fat sheep."
"Robbed it."
"Steal it~!"
The officers and soldiers surrounded General Melun and shouted loudly.
When these gangsters saw that there was a bargain to be found, they all immediately became murderous - this place was far away from the human pursuers. I thought there wouldn't be any danger. If you don't eat the meat delivered to your door, you would be a fool~!
Melun had never done this kind of work before. Seeing that everyone's morale was very high and they seemed very confident, he said cautiously: "Then... rob it?"
"Okay, boss agreed, bring the brothers up here, don't let the fat sheep escape."
"The first group ambushed, the second group detoured, and the third group took their retreat..."
Without waiting for orders from the officers, the experienced Caribbean people took action spontaneously. Thousands of soldiers surrounded General Melun, walking quickly towards the discovered food convoy.
In less than half an hour, soldiers of the Fourth Division discovered the food transport team under the guidance of the scouts.
Thousands of people drove a long carriage, which was packed with neatly packed grain bags, slowly walking eastward along the road, and there was no military escort.
There was a brightly colored flag on the leading car. General Melun recognized the pattern as tulips. But he had no idea what it represented.
The soldiers of the Fourth Division had high morale. They shouted and rushed forward bravely.
Some people even shouted loudly: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road. I'm here in Heifeng Village, Silver Spear, Xiaobawang Luo Dabao, please leave the food quickly."
, otherwise don’t even think about passing through here.”
"What's yours is ours, and what's ours is still ours, so quickly leave ours to us."
Ever since the Thunderbolt Heroes and the White-Guangguang Heroes performed heroic acts of justice in the Caribbean, this phrase has become an advertising slogan for Caribbean people doing business without capital.
Of course, more people directly shouted out the purpose of the action: "To fight for heaven and rob~! The men stand on the left, the women on the right, and the shemales stand in the middle. Hey, hey, what about you, kid, hurry up..."
Seeing thousands of people rushing out with a roar, the people in the grain transport team were also startled.
However, after seeing their military uniforms clearly, the people in the food transport team calmed down. Feidan did not draw his weapons to resist. Instead, he sat on the carriage with his hands sleeved and waited quietly for the fourth division to rush over.
The soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the entire convoy. They eagerly took off the food bags from the car, opened them and put them in their pockets, ready to have a full meal.
The people on the grain transport team didn't stop them, they just watched with cold eyes.
The leader of the convoy was an officer. When he saw General Melun's five-and-six soldiers, who looked like officials, he walked straight forward, gave a flattering smile, nodded and bowed and said: "I am the logistics officer of the Second Division of the De Rossi Empire."
Captain Paul, may I ask, sir, you are here to reinforce us, which part of the army are you from?"
"The Derosi Empire..." General Melun read silently, and he understood in his heart that this was an ally of the Semitic people. To put it bluntly, it was the Semitic Alliance Army, and they were being used as their lackeys. He was immediately reassured.
It's not an enemy force, let alone a Semitic friendly force. It doesn't matter if you rob it.
Those who robbed enemy troops would be retaliated against, and those who robbed friendly troops would be punished. As long as they robbed this group of Japanese soldiers, they would not dare to let go of anything.
"We are the great Semitic Caribbean Fourth Division." General Melun proudly said with his chest raised and his thumb pointed at his own flag.
However, Captain Paul looked confused. He had obviously never heard of the Caribbean, and he saw nothing except a wooden pole.
General Melun turned his head and glanced, his old face turned red, and he cursed angrily: "Who is that? Give me the flag."
Lamy in the back suddenly woke up and hurriedly hung the lightning flag on the flagpole and then erected it.
"The Fourth Division, haha." General Melun pointed to the flag again and said with a smile, and then said seriously with a straight face: "I now solemnly inform you that this batch of food has been requisitioned by our Fourth Division.
"
"This... Sir, you can't do this." Captain Paul said in a panic: "This is sent to the Delong front line."
Naturally, General Melun looked down on the dog-legged troops like the De Rossi Empire with extreme contempt. He raised his head and showed off the airs of a Semitic general, and said arrogantly: "I will requisition it when I say it. There is so much nonsense. Believe it or not, I am now
I’ll kill you~!”
Captain Paul showed a fearful expression.
The Semitic people he knew were always extremely cruel and unreasonable. Even if they killed him on the spot, his death would be in vain as no one would cry out for him.
It's not worth risking your own life for the sake of public affairs. You have spent a lot of money to find a position as a logistics officer, and you haven't even made back your capital yet.
He said with a sad face: "I can't decide this matter. I need to make it clear to you, sir."
General Melun waved his hand and said: "Then you go quickly,"
After thinking for a while, he said considerately: "How about I write you a receipt."
"That's naturally the best."
Captain Paul took the precious receipt and rushed to Emperor De Rossi's tent outside the city of Delon.
A few hours later, when the soldiers of the Fourth Division were well fed and taking a comfortable nap under the warm sun, a puff of smoke appeared in the distance, and a large group of cavalry was rushing over at high speed.
