Lorraine was woken up by the noise outside in the early hours of the morning.
Sir Alex was most sleepy right now, and he had no intention of getting up.
Although there were people shouting outside, according to military regulations, if there was an emergency military situation, the guards would have already rushed into the tent and woke themselves up.
If the other party keeps calling outside the tent, it means there is nothing important.
He wanted to continue sleeping, but the people outside the big tent kept shouting "Commander, Commander..."
It's like a fly buzzing in my ears all the time, and it's extremely annoying.
Miss Vera was sleeping soundly, but was also woken up by the sound.
She muttered "I called you" dissatisfied, angrily pushed Sir Lorraine off the bed, rolled up the quilt herself, rolled inside and continued to sleep soundly.
Miss Vera has three major hatreds in her life: first, she hates others robbing her money; second, she hates seeing a table full of good food and refusing to let her eat; third, she hates being woken up when she is sleeping soundly.
Once her taboo is violated, she will always catch and bite whomever she likes, and she will never be polite.
Lord Lorraine was in a trance and fell to the ground with a "snap". Fortunately, the folding bed was not high from the ground, but this also knocked away all his sleepiness.
He glanced sideways at Vera and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that she had fallen asleep again.
Vera is much better now than before. If it had been before, she would have had several teeth marks on her hands and arms.
But, having said that, no man would be in a good mood if his girlfriend pushed him off the bed.
Lord Luo is a man, so naturally he is no exception.
He put on his clothes and walked out angrily.
Lord Lorraine wants to see which bastard disturbs people's dreams in the middle of the night. If he wakes himself up for something big, he must send him his own toothbrush to clean the entire army's toilets.
Outside the tent, a general of the Holy See Legion was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking into the tent from time to time.
The guards in front of the door stared at him angrily. They seemed very dissatisfied. However, they could only prevent the general of the Holy See from entering, but they could not stop him from shouting outside the door.
Seeing Lorraine's figure, the Vatican general's face suddenly lit up with joy. He strode over to greet him, raised his round belly and saluted. Then he looked pleased and said excitedly: "Commander, we caught a big fish.
, the matter is so important that I didn’t dare to delay it for a moment and delivered it to you?”
"Big fish? Lao Zhu, what do you mean by big fish?" Lord Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he decided to spare this guy for the time being and see what the big fish he mentioned was about.
This General Giuseppe has always acted cautiously, but today he came here in the middle of the night to tell him the good news. It seemed that the big fish in his mouth was definitely big enough.
But...if he dares to fool Sir Alex...
Lorraine thought of this and immediately smiled cruelly: Then he must know what 'impulsive punishment' is.
At the very least, the lordship will let his papal girlfriend arrange for him to wash his socks in the monastery for the rest of his life.
"Bring it up, bring it up~!" General Giuseppe saw the cold light flashing in Lord Luo's eyes. He immediately shuddered, then turned around, shouted hurriedly and waved his hand behind.
Soon a group of soldiers pushed up a Semitic officer who was tied up like a rice dumpling and walked over.
With the help of the torch next to the tent, Lorraine looked intently.
I saw that the officer was about 20 years old, his military rank had been torn off his shoulders, there were a few black spots on his face, and there were black circles under his eyes. The corners of his mouth were bleeding.
His clothes were also torn into strips, and his pants were barely hung around his waist. He looked quite miserable, and he had obviously been severely beaten by the soldiers.
But Lorraine is not surprised either.
A few days ago, there was a group of Semites who pretended to surrender. After being gathered, they made a lot of noise in the camp and caused a lot of trouble to the Holy See Legion. In the end, it took the Skeleton Division to join a regiment and kill them all.
The soldiers suffered a loss and finally learned their lesson. Now they are very cautious in handling Semitic prisoners.
In order to prevent the surrendered enemy from hiding weapons on their bodies, many times they would just cut the opponent into a naked pig without even leaving a sock behind.
After the inspection was completed, I threw a random set of clothes over.
In the midst of this, all the valuable belongings of the captured soldiers naturally disappeared as if by magic.
Therefore, Lorraine was secretly surprised when she saw that the Semitic officer still had clothes on him.
However, although the officer was in a panic, his expression was very calm. He pursed his lips tightly, stared at his eyes, and looked back and forth vigilantly. He did not feel nervous or uneasy about being captured at all.
General Giuseppe pointed at the officer and gestured happily: "This guy was wandering around the front line in the middle of the night, trying to get in, but was discovered by our people and was caught.
As a result, he said that he had something important and he must ask to see the commander. I brought him here."
"I didn't believe it at first. I was told that I would check it first and deliver it to you, Marshal, tomorrow, but this guy is carrying this." General Giuseppe got a cloth bag from a soldier. This cloth bag was quite
To hold it down, he held it in front of Lorraine with both hands.
Then Giuseppe carefully opened the cloth bag, revealing a gorgeous crown of gold and gems. Under the light of the lights, the crown inlaid with gems glowed like a dream. There were gasps of air around him, all of which were attracted by this crown.
Calm down.
This is seven inches tall and as gorgeous as a giant mushroom. Lord Lorraine saw it for the first time. Lord Lorraine curled his lips disdainfully and thought to himself: Who made such a thing? It smells like a nouveau riche.
.It is more like a burial object worn by the dead than it is worn by the living.
But this gorgeous crown speaks for itself. It is not easy for someone to get such a thing.
Lorraine suddenly became interested, waved to the Semitic officer, and said, "Let him come over."
"Go over, go over!" The soldiers immediately punched and kicked the Semitic officer, pushing him into Lorraine's tent.
During the whole process, the officer said nothing, but his expression remained calm and composed until he stood opposite Lorraine, looked at Lorraine up and down for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You are the human Marshal Lorraine, right?
Please step back, I have something important to say."
"Hey, you're so arrogant!" General Giuseppe was immediately furious. He clenched his fists and was about to come over and teach him a lesson, letting him know whose territory this was and that it was not his turn to make demands.
But Lord Lorraine waved his hand to stop Giuseppe and said: "Old Zhu, you go out first. Wait outside the door."
General Giuseppe said anxiously: "But this guy is very skilled. I heard they said it took more than a dozen of us to hold him down with our bare hands."
The Holy See soldiers escorting the Semitic officers nodded at the same time, proving that what Giuseppe said was correct.
Lord Lorraine sneered and said, "Do you think he is more powerful than the high priest?"
General Giuseppe was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly bowed and said: "That's true. Marshal, you are not even afraid of the high priest. You can easily crush such little ants from the demon clan. I'll beg your way."
.”
Then he waved to his soldiers and motioned them all to get out.
Lorraine curled her lips and watched General Giuseppe leading his people out of the camp: These generals of the Holy See have always used their words and deeds to fully demonstrate what amateurs are.
Inexperienced and simple-minded, if there was no actual command from the staff behind the scenes and counting on them, he would have been led into a ditch long ago.
But Lord Lorraine can't help it. These people are his children's close confidants, the foundation and team that he will focus on cultivating in the future. Hilmeria just lets them gain military merit for future promotion - this is called a bitch.
The politics of raising.
These generals were a bit stupid, but they respected Lord Lorraine very much, treated Lord Lorraine as their boss, and were loyal, so they went up, and Lorraine had nothing to say.
At this time, only the Semitic officer Lorraine was left in the big tent, and of course Miss Vera, who was sleeping soundly in the back tent. When she didn't have to work overtime, Vera would not sleep until she woke up naturally every day.
Got up.
After the soldiers from the Holy See left, Lorraine sat on his big chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the Semitic officer opposite him at leisure.
Seeing that Lord Lorraine had no intention of speaking, the Semitic officer was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly bowed and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Child, and I am an officer of your Majesty's front guard."
As he spoke, Child raised his head slightly and said in a neither arrogant nor humble tone: "I am here to negotiate with you, Your Majesty, on your Majesty's order. I think that crown is enough to prove my identity."
Lorraine had already guessed his intention. The Semitic people wanted to see him, and they also brought a high-level certificate of surrender like a crown, which was nothing more than surrender and negotiation. Therefore, the lord just said "hmm" and said with one hand
He propped his chin up and looked at him, still saying nothing.
The tent was quiet for a few minutes, and Child couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He announced his home address and the purpose of the mission.
But the man opposite me had no intention of talking at all, and seemed not to be interested in the negotiations he was talking about.
Child suddenly felt that he had lost his confidence and became uneasy, but he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Our Majesty... Sir, is willing to negotiate with you, Marshal, to end this indifferent situation and let both of us
A war that can only lead to bloodshed in vain."
Lord Lorraine suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had remembered some funny joke. He looked at Child and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have just been promoted to emperor tonight, right? The crown is not bad, it must weigh seven or eight pounds."
Heavy."
"How do you know~!" Child exclaimed, almost jumped up, and looked at Lorraine in disbelief.
Veerapurani was crowned emperor just a few hours ago. Before dawn, the commander-in-chief of the human side already knew and could tell the exact time. This is not only incredible, but also reveals a very serious situation.
The problem is that every move they make is under almost real-time surveillance by humans.
"This is impossible..." Child looked at Lorraine and said to himself blankly.
Doesn't this mean that in this war and all their actions, humans know from beginning to end that the high priest's triumphant raid plan has long lost the suddenness of success.
The first thing Child thought of was the navy. In this case, it makes sense why the navy was blocked just off the coast of Fantino by the combined forces of humans and elves.
Lorraine smiled, spread his hands, and said contemptuously: "It's not surprising. You adults can become the emperor because of De Rossi's suggestion to the high priest. Although De Rossi is a hard-core traitor, he wants to go all the way to the dark side.
, but many people around him are not."
Child was completely stunned, his mouth opened wide and speechless, and his heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Lorraine yawned and said: "Since you want to talk, let's talk. My condition is very simple, that is, unconditional surrender~!"
"This is impossible. If so, we would rather fight to the end." Child shouted excitedly: "We Semites have not yet lost the courage to fight to the death."
Lorraine sneered and said: "Do you think you still have the conditions to bargain with me? The reason why I kept you is firstly to see if I can catch another big fish from the rear, and secondly to give you to the new recruits of the Holy See.
Sparring partners, you should have noticed that my attacks every day are just a taste."
Although Child was extremely reluctant, he still had to nod and admit, saying: "We found it."
Lorraine snorted coldly and said: "If I send my security troops up, you should have seen their power in Fantino. How many days do you think you can last?"
Child recalled the continuous explosions and smoke rising into the sky outside Fantino City. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt stench.
Under the overwhelming artillery fire, no matter how many people they rushed towards, they could not break through the fire net of the security forces. Soldiers were killed in batches, and their corpses paved a road leading to the human position.
To this day, he often wakes up from his dreams, dreaming that he has been blown to pieces by artillery shells.
"Maybe two days," Lorraine said, "no more than three days."
Child nodded hard.
Lorraine stood up and stretched. She was ready to end the negotiation and go back to catch up on her sleep. She said: "These are my conditions, and I will not bargain with you. You can either accept it or die~!"
Go back and tell your general, there is no need to make a hasty decision. You can still play with us for a few more days."
Child had a straight face, feeling bitter in his heart. He was fighting bloody battles, trying to find a way out of despair, but in the eyes of humans, he was indeed playing with them.
This hurt his self-esteem as a Semitic, but he could only swallow this breath back in his stomach.
"General Giuseppe." Lorraine called out the door.
Giuseppe immediately trotted in, bowed and said: "My subordinate is here, please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief."
Lorraine pointed at Child and said: "Untie this guy and send him back safely. The fewer people who see him, the better."
"Yes, my subordinates understand. I understand secret work." Giuseppe straightened his belly and said understandingly.
The soldiers cut off the rope around Child, and Lorraine grabbed the crown on the table, weighed it, and then threw it to Child, saying: "Take this back, it will disappear after a while."
"
Child glanced angrily at the crown in his hand, held it up with both hands and smashed it to the ground, saying: "The death charm sent by De Rossi, why do we need it~~!"
Then, he walked out of the camp without looking back.
Lorraine looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh: If the high priest had not directly ordered the promotion, Veerapranni might have to continue to hold on for a while, or even fight to the death.
But this commendation and promotion order, on the surface, seems to be a reward for Veerapurani, but in fact it is an extremely bad irony. He clearly tells the other party that he wants the other party to die.
Therefore, it often leads to rebellious psychology in others.
Give someone a false title and ask them to die for you in vain?
No one is a fool~!
Where in the world can such a thing happen?
Only lunatics who are extremely arrogant would do such a thing.
At this moment, a fluffy-haired man's head poked out from the back tent.
Vera looked at Lorraine with sleepy eyes and said: "Master, I seemed to hear the sound of gold just now..."
As soon as I said this, I saw the shining golden crown on the ground in a blink of an eye. I cheered immediately, rushed over, picked up the crown, and hugged it tightly in my arms, with a look of intoxication on my face.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but sigh deeply: This girl is hopeless~!

The dejected Child walked through the positions of the two armies and returned to the headquarters. It was already dimming.
Veerapurani spent the whole night waiting in front of the command post for Child's return.
Child told Veraplani in detail every word he said to Lorraine and every expression he made when speaking.
After listening to this, Veerapranni, who had not slept all night, had blood-red eyes and an expression like a wild beast. He clenched his fists and said bitterly: "It's De Rossi again~!"
If Emperor De Rossi were in front of him at this moment, he would definitely pounce on him and bite De Rossi to death.
Even cutting him into pieces and feeding them to dogs could not dispel the hatred in Veerapranni's heart.
How much hatred does this kid have against me? He keeps pushing himself to the end.
What chilled Veraplani was that the high priest had always placed his utmost trust in De Rossi, instead of the Semitic generals who worked for the high priest.
Even for such an urgent matter as rescuing himself, he never listened to his own advice and replaced himself with a Semitic general.
Verapurani turned around and looked at the map hanging on the earthen wall. The red ring surrounding the town of Verkala was eye-catching. His tens of thousands of people had been compressed into a small town less than eight miles long and wide.
Inside.
When he thought that De Rossi was hundreds of miles away, sneering triumphantly, waiting for his entire army to be annihilated, and then easily placing all the blame on himself, the anger and hatred in Veraplani's heart was like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable.
rushed up.
After being silent for a long time, Veerapurani gritted his teeth and said: "I am not afraid of death, but I cannot be forced to death by a villain without honor.
You are unkind, and I am only unjust~!"
Having made up his mind, Veerapurani felt relaxed. Since he had decided to surrender, he had to strive for better conditions for himself and his men.
He turned around and looked at Child and said, "Go and tell Humanity that I can promise him, but he must ensure the safety of all of us."
Child's heart was mixed with the frustration of failure and the anger of being betrayed by one of his own, and he couldn't tell which emotion was stronger.
But after hearing Veerapurani's decision, Child suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I believe that time will prove that His Majesty's decision is correct."
