January 27, 836 in the Julian calendar, it was sunny...
The town of Huerkala is unusually quiet today. This town that was leveled by the war has no longer heard the sound of artillery fire and shouts of killing in the past.
The two armies, the Holy See Army and the Semitic Army, each lined up in positions in front of the town of Verkala, with countless phalanxes composed of soldiers arranged neatly.
The combined strength of both sides exceeded 200,000.
In the past, when these two legions met, they would draw swords at each other and fight to the death. But at this time, although they were only a few dozen meters apart, the entire battlefield was silent.
Everyone was silent, just looking at the opposite side cautiously, the only sound was the hunting sound of flags flying in the cold wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a loud bugle sounded.
The flag of the Holy See Army suddenly waved.
Immediately afterwards, the army in the middle separated to both sides like the Red Sea being split open.
At the rear of the military formation, a huge eagle and lightning battle flag was raised high, and then slowly moved forward from behind.
Everyone in the Holy See Army was suddenly shocked: The commander-in-chief is here~!
But the officers and soldiers of the Semitic army were agitated, and they all looked at the flag embroidered with flying eagles and lightning with complicated expressions.
In the past, when they saw this flag, they would often curse. Especially that damn pretty boy, who used extremely shameless, obscene, and despicable means to kidnap and kidnap two of the most beautiful flowers of the Semitic tribe.
To the Semitic officers and soldiers, Lorraine was not only a universal enemy, the leader of all evil, a traitor and scum, but also an evil dragon who abducted the princess in fairy tales.
If you are just robbing money and things, forget it. Just treat it as feeding the dogs and make money later. But robbing women, especially the most beautiful women. This kind of thing doesn't matter where or where it happens.
Time and space are the most hostile things.
As long as it is mentioned, everyone will grit their teeth with hatred.
Those young Semitic officers and soldiers also have that princely dream: forming a group to clear the super large copy of Lorraine. Kill the evil dragon Lorraine, explode the golden equipment everywhere, rescue the princess, and then ride on a white horse, carrying
The princess disappeared into the sunset together... But the dragon-slaying warriors who set out one after another finally fell at the feet of the evil dragon. And now the same fate fell on his own head.
Then they suddenly discovered: It turns out that fairy tales are all lies. Facing the evil dragon, most warriors are cannon fodder. But the evil dragon opposite can really eat people~!
When facing an unpredictable future, they all feel uneasy in their hearts.
Seeing the two lightning bolts on the flag, many despicable brats suddenly remembered that this evil dragon had two girlfriends who were members of the Semitic royal family.
Lorraine deliberately embroidered the lightning emblem on the flag, maybe not to humiliate herself, but because she really valued the two princesses.
Calculating this seriously, Lorraine married two princesses, and he was considered half Semitic. He shouldn't kill Semites like himself who surrendered to the emperor, right?
Some of the more despicable guys even speculated: Wait a minute, rush out from the team, hold Lorraine's thigh, and call "Brother-in-law Lorraine", will there be any special treatment?
Although the Semitic people at this time had complicated thoughts and were full of panic about their future fate, no matter what, they felt some inexplicable peace of mind when they saw the two lightning bolts embroidered on the banner of the opposing coach.
Verapurani stood in front of the formation, looking at the flag on the opposite side and feeling emotional for a while. As a professional soldier, he didn't think too much in the past. But now at this desperate moment, he suddenly realized that Lorraine
The meaning behind the flag.
That lord is indeed a God of War figure. Just two more coats of arms embroidered on the flag are enough to support an army of tens of thousands.
With those two lightning bolts, it was clearly told to the Semitic soldiers that the Lord's relationship with them was very close. After surrender, the soldiers did not have to worry about being tortured and massacred.
In this way, when soldiers are desperate in the future, they will have one more option, instead of engaging in a fight between trapped beasts, and avoid a lot of unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices.
At this time, I saw that the big flag on the opposite side had already arrived in front of the formation. Then, it waved and was firmly planted on the ground.
Immediately, surrounded by a group of Vatican generals, a young man in military uniform slowly walked out.
Lorraine came to the front of the human army, stopped immediately, and then looked across.
This was the first time he saw Veerapurani.
I saw that he was born with the look of a soldier, with a weathered face, neatly dressed in military uniform, and even his hair was combed meticulously.
No matter how you look at it, he looks more like a general than Lord Lorraine.
The Semitic officers behind Veraplani were all wearing clean and straight military uniforms. They held out their chests as much as possible, raised their heads slightly, and looked solemnly at the Holy See Army opposite.
Lord Lorraine, on the other hand, stood quite casually, with a fair complexion, and followed behind him was a girl with blue hair who was extremely eye-catching. He looked like a playboy with mixed qualifications in the army.
And the Vatican generals behind Lord Lorraine were even more unbearable.
There are all kinds of guys, tall, short, fat and thin. There are a few guys with very jutted bellies. Most of them are fair and fair. They can't stand well. They have no military temperament. They look awkward no matter how they look in military uniforms.
Even the formations of the Semitic people were neater than those of the Holy See soldiers, not to mention the ace security troops, who stood in a crooked formation.
The soldiers were in various comfortable postures, holding their guns carelessly, and some were smoking cigarettes. Cigarette cases were also pinned to their helmets.
Many people spit everywhere without restraint.
Some honest orc soldiers would use their sleeves to wipe their noses heavily from time to time to wipe away the snot that had been frozen due to the cold weather... From the surface, the Semites looked more like victors.
However, precisely because they are losers, they can only use this last form to express their self-esteem as a soldier at this moment.
For the winner, all formalities are unnecessary, victory can explain everything.
Veraplani pursed his lips, squinted his eyes slightly, and kept looking at Lorraine across from him. In his opinion, this young man did not look like a master who could fight with the High Priest of the Undead.
As the commander-in-chief, he had carefully studied this opponent, but the result was fruitless. Veraplani himself could not figure out what kind of person this Lord Lorraine was.
It is undoubtedly very uncomfortable to play against this kind of person, because you can never guess what he will suddenly do next.
If given the choice, Veraplani would prefer to choose Archduke Julian to fight this battle with him.
The two sides faced each other in silence for a long time, neither of them moving.
Lorraine seemed very patient, without even a hint of impatience on her face.
Lord Lorraine said nothing, and the others could only wait patiently.
Finally Veerapurani sighed, no matter how reluctant he was, this moment was inevitable.
He waved to the officer behind him, and Child walked out, slowly lowering the Semitic golden lightning flag in his hand.
There was a suppressed sigh from behind him, and the Semitic officers and soldiers looked sad. Most of them lowered their heads, unable to bear to see the flag that represented their pride fall down.
Under the gaze of the two armies, Child slowly took down the Semitic flag from the flagpole and slowly folded up the broken battle flag that was soaked in gunpowder smoke.
He looked solemn, as if he was sorting out his most precious treasure.
The flag was finally folded into a one-foot square. Child held it in both hands and walked towards Veerapurani step by step, with heavy steps, as if every step was of great importance.
Child held the flag in front of Verapranni, opened his mouth, and his eyes instantly turned red. Tears rolled in his eyes and flowed down his dark cheeks. Child grabbed the golden lightning flag with both hands.
He said bitterly: "Your Majesty..."
"There is no more Your Majesty." Veerapurani shook his head and said, "If you still recognize me as an old guy, just call me General."
"Yes, General~!" Child straightened his back and shouted in a loud voice.
Veraplani gave a wry smile, raised his hand and patted Child on the shoulder, and said sadly: "At least, our Semitic soldiers are reliable."
Then he took the golden lightning flag from Child and walked towards Lorraine and the Vatican generals on the opposite side.
Lorraine turned to look at Cardinal Sandos next to him. He was trying hard to hold back the smile on his face and made a serious expression, his face glowing with excitement.
Lord Lorraine suddenly patted Sandos on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead."
Cardinal Sandos was suddenly stunned and said in surprise: "Me?"
"Yes, it's up to you to accept the surrender," Lorraine nodded and said, "This is what you deserve."
"I, I..." Cardinal Sandos was incoherent with excitement, and his whole body was shaking slightly. After a few seconds, he touched his heel hard, raised his arm and saluted Lord Lorraine, and couldn't control his loud voice.
shouted: "Yes~!"
Cardinal Sandos knew in his heart that Lord Lorraine had ordered him to surrender, which represented a supreme honor.
History books will record that on January 27, 836, the Semitic army surrendered to the human legion led by Lorraine, and Cardinal Ram Sandos accepted the surrender.
His name will be remembered forever with this victory, and will be sung forever. It will even become a required subject for primary school students' history classes every year, perhaps also for junior high schools, high schools, universities, and even graduate students... The Holy See behind Sandos
The generals' envious eyes were dripping with blood, but they could only sigh and watch Cardinal Sandos step forward.
As Lord Lorraine said, he deserves this.
If they had the courage to lead a legion to take the initiative to fight and be surrounded by the enemy to death, or if they could lead a legion to fight back and play an important role in determining victory in the battle, they would not have to stand behind Lord Lorraine, but beside him.
When he walked between the two armies in the town of Huercala, Cardinal Sandos proudly puffed out his chest and stepped forward to meet him.
The two met a few meters away from Lorraine.
Veerapurani looked squarely at the equally young Vatican general in front of him.
Cardinal Sandos looked at him without any sign of weakness, with the pride and pity of a winner on his face.
Veerapurani sighed in his heart. There are many talents on the human side, but the Semites are always depressed under the suppression of the undead. Even if they achieve a temporary victory, they will eventually be brought back by humans. But once the Semites
If you fail, it will be difficult to turn around.
"I hope what I did is right." Veraplani said to herself for the last time in her heart, then looked at Sandos and said calmly: "I, Jaccard, Veraplani, Semitic West
Commander-in-Chief of the Road Expeditionary Force, on behalf of the twelve divisions of the Semitic army under my command, I surrender to you."
He raised his hand and handed the flag in front of Sandos.
Cardinal Sandos said loudly in a loud and solemn voice: "I, Ram, Cardinal Sandos, commander-in-chief of the Vatican's Bair Corps, represent Reims, Marshal Lorraine and Ruman, Fantino
Coalition forces, accept your surrender."
Sandos stretched out his hands and caught the Semitic flag in Veraplani's hand.
Veraplani lowered his head and stared at the military flag in his hand in ecstasy. This flag accompanied him from his hometown thousands of miles away to the human continent, rushed all the way to the gates of Fantino City, and then retreated to this little-known town.
This flag witnessed the most glorious moments in his life, and also witnessed his ultimate failure.
Veraplani let out a long sigh, loosened his hands, and watched Cardinal Sandos take away the flag, then took off his sword and placed it on the military flag.
"Long live~!"
Hundreds of thousands of Holy See legions suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers, and shouts like a landslide resounded through the sky.
The soldiers raised their weapons toward the sky and shouted desperately to express their joy as victors. Immediately afterwards, the roar of cannons also sounded.
Opposite them, tens of thousands of Semitic legions remained silent, just looking numbly at the humans in front of them cheering for their victory.
While the Semitic soldiers were sad, they were also secretly glad. Even if they surrendered and became prisoners of war, it would be better than dying on the human continent. They still had their families in their hometown. Dying here would only make the family fall into sadness.
and hardship.
Even here they work hard for the aristocrats and bureaucrats, but the aristocrats and bureaucrats turn their wives and daughters into maidens. This is a living reality.
Now, the war has nothing to do with them, they just need to wait patiently for the chance to go home.
Veraplani heard the cheers of humans in his ears and felt very uncomfortable. He raised his head and looked at Cardinal Sandos and nodded politely to him. This man was the Holy See who changed the situation of the battle and completely trapped him.
General.
Cardinal Sandos also nodded politely.
At this time, he magnanimously showed his magnanimity as a winner, and did not show off or humiliate the opponent arrogantly. Instead, he took a half step back, then turned around and walked back to the golden cross flag, and put the Semitic military flag and Veraplani's
Give the sword to Lorraine.
The Semitic flag may also be displayed in the victory memorial hall, and the sword may be used as a personal trophy of the victorious commander.
Lorraine waved his hand but did not take the military flag and said: "Send it back to Fantino."
Then he walked towards Veerapurani and stood in front of him.
Veerapurani nodded to Lorraine and said as calmly as possible: "Do you have any other instructions, Marshal?"
Lord Lorraine nodded slightly and said: "According to the United Nations Convention, you and your men will receive sufficient security and receive a fair trial led by the United Nations.
Those who commit war crimes and massacre civilians will be dealt with in accordance with the law, but I will send someone to explain this law to you before doing so."
Veerapranni nodded with a straight face. This was a condition that had been negotiated long ago. Lorraine just reiterated to him that this was the privilege of the winner.
Lorraine said: "For the time being, I will arrange for you to stay in Fantino, where you will meet an old friend."
"Old friend?" Veeraplani asked in surprise, how could Fantino have his old friend.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Semitic Admiral Orgen."
Veerapurani was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I should have guessed it was him."
Organ's navy was completely annihilated in Fantino, but Veraplani just didn't expect that he would also be captured.
Lord Lorraine suddenly scratched his head and said with a distressed expression: "Also, thank you General for the crown you sent me. My girlfriend likes it very much.
But I can’t take your things for nothing, my people will give you gifts in return.”
"To me, that is an ominous thing," Veerapurani shook his head, and then thought of something, an expression of resentment suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
He looked at Lorraine seriously and begged: "Marshal, I have only one request, please let me live to see De Rossi being executed.
After that I will be at your disposal, and if I die before De Rossi, I will die with my eyes open."
Lorraine nodded and said affirmatively: "General, I can promise you. Not only that, you can also live until the day your health allows, until the God of Light... er, the Great Demon God personally summons you."
Veraplani sighed softly, then took a step back decisively, raised his hand to salute Lorraine, and said: "Marshal, you are a respectable opponent."
Lorraine raised her hand and returned the salute, saying: "Although we all have different positions, I personally sympathize with the Semites. You are just a group of pitiful victims."
Veerapurani smiled bitterly and thought to himself: What's the use of talking about this now?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered that the man opposite me had four girlfriends who were all spiritual people.
One of them he didn't know, and the remaining ones, Adeling, Phione, Duipole and Lorraine, made a fuss about the Semitic people, which caused a sensation. It was said that Adeling was kind-hearted.
Moreover, this man is famous among the Semitic people for being afraid of his wife. Can he try to take the wife route and strive for better treatment?
After the simple but solemn surrender ceremony, the Semitic officers and soldiers who handed over all their weapons and armor left for Fantino under the escort of the Holy See soldiers.
They had gone back and forth on this road twice in a short period of time and were quite familiar with it, so there was no difficulty in walking it a third time. However, the mood between then and now was completely different.
At the same time, Cardinal Sandos received the news that he was promoted to cardinal and to the rank of deputy privy archbishop of the Pope.
His military duties remained unchanged and he continued to command the Holy See Bair Army, but he became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Front and Lorraine's deputy. He led the troops to move to Delong City to garrison the front line of the counterattack.
