After hearing the Grand Duke's question, Lorraine looked at his neat clothes and shiny leather boots. She couldn't help but be speechless for a while, rolled her eyes at him, grinned and said nothing.
At this time, many coalition officers came down from the war fortress.
All of them were dressed in neat clothes, with neat military appearance, and their hair was combed meticulously. Even the collars of their shirts were snow-white, not stained with a trace of dirt. The military uniforms were all gleaming, and it was as if they were blinding.
It's like getting ready to attend a king's banquet.
On the other hand, the faces of the officers behind Lorraine were all blackened by gunpowder smoke, as if they had just been dug out of the earth.
The gun smoke when the bullets were fired was swept back by the sea breeze and stuck to their faces.
The regalia buttons were torn, the uniform was crooked, the collar hung haphazardly on both sides, and the sleeves were rolled up high.
The clothes were also in tatters, with holes all over them burned by the sparks. They looked like a group of beggars, and their identity gave off a pungent and choking smell with a burning and burnt smell.
The weird smell after gun oil is heated by bullets.
No wonder Grand Duke Julius said this about him.
In the past two years, Lord Lorraine has hardly ever gone into battle himself. He has always been dressed up by his girlfriend. Even if he fought with the High Priest of the Undead, he has never been as miserable as before.
The group of people in front of me looked like they had been trampled three times by a large group of horses.
The officers brought by the Grand Duke looked here and couldn't help but whisper and point. They were quite puzzled. It was just an island. There was no need to fight like this, right?
The bastards under Lord Luo also felt a little ashamed. Compared with that group of glamorous guys, they were like beggars.
They quietly arranged their clothes, pulled down the clothes with their hands, stretched out the uniforms as much as possible, then buttoned them up and twisted their belts.
The Grand Duke looked at Lorraine, with a gloating smile on his face at first, but then his face gradually became serious.
He said in a deep voice: "What? Is it difficult to fight?"
I don’t know whether he was tired or angry. Lord Lorraine now didn’t even have the strength to speak. Instead, he raised his hand, pointed to the sea and the beach in the distance, and then shrugged.
The Grand Duke was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look, and then he couldn't help but take a breath of air, with a surprised expression on his face.
I saw a layer of dead body parts floating on the sea below the fleet. Various broken limbs kept rising and falling with the waves. They were packed one on top of the other, so airtight that not even a trace of them could be seen.
seawater.
On the beach in the distance, the dead bodies were also densely packed and piled up like a mountain, leaving only the defensive position of the human soldiers in the middle. From a distance, it looked like a volcano after an eruption.
Grand Duke Julius felt his scalp numb for a moment. Once he saw this horrific scene, he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
Even though he had been on the battlefield for decades, with mountains of corpses and bloody battles countless times, the scene in front of him still exceeded his imagination.
How many undead creatures did the undead fill here? 30,000 or 50,000?
Among the piles of corpses covering the beach, one could vaguely see the soldiers in the defensive positions sitting on the ground, crying loudly, or lying on their backs motionless. Just now, they all thought they were
They were destined to die. The undead creatures rushed a few meters away from them and were about to devour them. But they suddenly collapsed and collapsed.
This kind of ups and downs is really too exciting and makes many people emotionally unstable. Although many Marines are veterans, this is their first time fighting such a disparity in strength.
Only a handful of brave soldiers followed the officers, turning a blind eye to the horrible pile of corpses that emanated a stench at their feet. They wandered back and forth on the beach. When they saw a struggling undead, they walked over and hit the opponent's head.
Add another shot and smash their heads like watermelons.
The crisp sound of gunshots like "Pap-Pap-Pap" came intermittently, which made the island even more peaceful after the war.
Seeing this, the Grand Duke took half a step back, then raised his hand, saluted solemnly to Lorraine and the officers behind him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Thanks to the Naian fleet and marines equipped with machine guns and artillery, the powerful firepower can form a fire net that is insurmountable for any creature. If it were other armies using swords, they would have been swallowed up by the flood of undead creatures.
.
Like a conditioned reflex, Lorraine raised her hand in an instant and saluted.
At the same time, the officers behind them also saluted in unison, and at the same time shouted in unison: "Long live the Empire~!"
Winning the first battle is indeed very exciting.
Not far away, the priests and priests on other ships couldn't help but frown when they heard the officers' slogan: This slogan is very taboo.
Because this operation was under the banner of the United Nations, to liberate the Semitic people who were enslaved by the undead.
According to the rules, everyone’s slogan should be ‘Long Live the Light’, because everyone is from the camp of the God of Light.
But these arrogant imperial soldiers didn't take it seriously at all, and just kept shouting their original slogans.
This also shows from another aspect that these soldiers and gangsters have never taken the Lord of Light seriously~!
If you don’t take the God of Light seriously, you don’t take their apostles of the God of Light seriously.
However, even though they were dissatisfied, no one dared to stand up and correct Lorraine and the others.
After all, this battle was fought between the soldiers of the Ruman Empire and the soldiers of the Elf Kingdom.
Just now, hundreds of guns on the battlefield were roaring at the same time, the explosions were earth-shattering, and the scene of undead creatures covering the battleships like ants was like the end of the world. Many priests who were on the battlefield for the first time were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
They now looked at Lord Lorraine's soldiers armed with shotguns, and there was still some fear in their eyes. These desperate bastards almost put the muzzles of their guns against the noses of the undead creatures and fired.
And these priests, who were supposed to be the main force against the undead creatures, did not contribute much from the beginning to the end, and they almost got screwed up. The undead creatures made their dumplings.
It's better to shut up at this time, so as not to offend the Ruman people. Ask them, "Where were you when I was fighting the undead?"
At this time, a burst of warm cheers was suddenly heard.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a dozen black shadows flashing above my head.
Lorraine looked up and saw only a dozen war fortresses roaring over the fleet, circling in a circle and then slowly falling down.
That was the war fortress where the Lich was bombed not long ago.
The war fortresses landed on the deck one after another, and then several cardinals climbed down from the war fortress in the middle with a little clumsiness.
The sailors on the ship rushed forward one after another and gave them warm cheers: they were the biggest contributors to this battle.
If they hadn't found the exact location of the lich controlling the undead creatures and carried out the bombing, maybe the undead would have surrounded them all by now.
In the face of massive undead creatures, even a small army with excellent equipment is in danger.
The cardinals were all tired and sweating, and it seemed that they were working hard.
At this time, I suddenly saw everyone so enthusiastic, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it. Everyone had stiff smiles on their faces and waved to everyone.
When they saw Lorraine and the Grand Duke, they hurried forward and saluted them.
Lorraine also had a smile on her face and said to the Grand Justice: "Your Highness, please allow me to introduce to you the greatest contribution of this battle.
Cardinal Claude, Cardinal Rhett, and Cardinal Gleick...
It was they who used holy magic to find the location of those lichs and eliminate them, which enabled us to win."
Then in a very low voice, he quietly added: "That's probably it, right?"
The voice was so low that only Lorraine could hear it.
He was very suspicious in his heart that those lichs were not actually killed by them. Liches that could go to heaven and earth were not something that could be easily eliminated with a few bombs.
Instead, they were scared away by the main fleet that came up later.
Ren Sui's heart trembled when he saw the hostile fleets covering the sea. He felt almost the same as Lorraine himself when he saw the undead creatures on the beach.
But in any case, after those people bombed, the attack of the undead did fail. Therefore, the credit can only be given to them. Moreover, this can also boost the morale of the soldiers.
As Lord Luo thought about it, he sighed to himself: As he grew up, he seemed to be becoming more and more depraved, becoming more and more like a politician that he once looked down upon.
The Grand Duke looked at them with interest, and then asked carefully: "How is it? Have the lichs been eliminated?"
Claude and the others looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces, then shook their heads and said: "Your Highness, although we killed a few, more escaped..."
He paused for a moment, then changed his tone, and continued: "I'm not afraid of your ridicule, the count's compliment just now was a bit excessive.
To say that we eliminated the lich, it would be better to say that you came with an army and scared them away."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and was very impressed by Cardinal Claude: This guy doesn't take any credit, to tell the truth, he is a rare creature that has become extinct in Fantino. I really don't know where it is now.
How did you get to your current position in the hypocritical and cunning Holy See?
At this time, Claude continued: "When we were conducting aerial reconnaissance, we took a look and found that this island is not big, but it is not small. There are many mountains and forests on this island that can provide food for the lichs.
Hide.”
Hearing this, Lorraine and the Grand Duke couldn't help but look at each other.
This small island is the key point of connection between the Semitic continent and the human continent. In the future, it will be responsible for supporting all material transportation, and there must be no room for failure.
If the lichs are hiding here, acting as guerrillas and just coming out to cause damage or something, and then run away after the fight, then everyone should stop messing around and just pack up and start walking.
This small island is several kilometers across. If you want to thoroughly search and eliminate the lich, you have to have tens of thousands of people comb through it carefully several times. Even then, you may not be able to eliminate them completely.
I don't have the time to leave tens of thousands of people to play with a few lichs.
Lorraine thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your Excellency, how can we wipe out the lich?"
The cardinals nearby looked back and laughed.
After hearing this, Lorraine was not angry, but became relaxed. Since the other party can laugh, it means that they have a solution.
Of course, if they don't and still dare to laugh like this, Sir Alex has many ways to prevent them from laughing for the rest of their lives.
He and the Grand Duke looked at each other. Then they waited patiently for those people to finish laughing.
Claude laughed for a while, then realized his gaffe, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness, Earl. This problem is actually easy to solve. We already found a solution thousands of years ago."
"oh??"
Claude smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, this matter is actually very simple. It's just one, build a church. Build a cathedral."
The Grand Duke was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke: nmlgbd~! These bald guys are really greedy. The island has not been occupied yet, and they are planning to grab territory here.
Next to him, Lord Luo also looked embarrassed.
The leader of this gang is the lord's girlfriend, and he also gave birth to babies.
Therefore, although Sir Alex does not have a good impression of these bald men, he still has to take care of them as long as he can take care of them. Speaking of which, they can be regarded as his younger brothers.
But he was so shameless and just robbed here, and the Duke was too embarrassed to help openly.
Claude looked at the unkind expressions on the two people's faces, and immediately knew that they were wrong. He hurriedly coughed and said: "Your Highness, Sir, it's like this. Once the cathedral is built, we can deal with it on a large scale.
The undead on this island are being purified. A holy light array is set up in the Holy See, enough to cover the entire island.
Secondly, in the church, you can draw on the power of light and faith. After setting up the Holy Light Array, you can easily detect evil creatures. It is convenient for us to prevent and eliminate them.
Third, the completion of the church can also consolidate our local rule. I think this island will definitely be very prosperous in the future, right?
Both adults are bright saints with firm beliefs and lofty ambitions. They can maintain their beliefs no matter where they are, but ordinary people are different. They need a place to comfort their souls. They need a shepherd to serve them.
Give me direction."
Claude said this very well, and he also flattered the two of them. Sure enough, there is no simple person like a bald man who can wear a gold-rimmed red robe.
Although the Duke is now surrounded by officers, those vulgar Qiu Ba are extremely clumsy in flattering him.
Over and over again, the words "The commander is wise, the commander is powerful, the commander will rule the world forever", which is far from the skill of the cardinal. In the blink of an eye, the two uncles were given the 'Sage of Light'
' hat.
The Saint of Light, also known as the Saint, is the most important title of the Holy See. Not only does it erect a statue in the Guangming Square and engrave deeds for believers to worship, but it also requires a separate page in the history book to write
The next biography will be remembered forever.
The Grand Duke looked at Lorraine, then coughed heavily and said, "I think... I think this suggestion is good, and you can have it."
One of Lord Luo's girlfriends is His Majesty the Pope, and the dream of every generation of His Majesty the Pope is to build churches all over the world, make everyone become believers, and collect protection fees from ordinary people (in this regard, the Holy See and the undead
There is no essential difference between the high priests, which may be the characteristic of all dictators.)
Moreover, in terms of preaching, Hilmeria was more serious and persistent than other popes.
Lord Luo didn't want a fire in the backyard, so he couldn't object.
The Grand Duke turned his head and looked around, then said: "Then where is the right place to build this church?"
Claude thought for a moment, then pointed to the hill not far away and said: "Wherever it is the highest, build it there. It is condescending and there is no obstruction. And the higher the place, the wider the scope of surveillance will naturally be."
After hearing this, the Grand Duke couldn't help but sigh softly: This cultivation is high and effective, and the cost is naturally high. It is estimated that it will not cost more than 100,000 yuan.
Fortunately, I didn’t pay out of my own pocket~!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Next to him, Lorraine couldn't help but be in a trance, remembering that in his time, the cathedrals in Europe seemed to be built tall and large, and the higher the location, the better. Do they also have this requirement?
He calmed down and then said: "Since you want to repair it, just repair it a little bit. Use reinforced concrete as building materials and so on. Then build a lighthouse ten or twenty meters tall. Let it smoke during the day and light up the light at night."
That way, if a ship gets lost on the sea, you can easily find the right direction."
Claude looked at Lorraine with a look of surprise. She was indeed His Majesty the Pope's concubine... Bah, bah, bah, the Pope's closest friend, her butt was almost tilted to the bench.
I just sat there and raised the price. I originally waited for the Grand Duke and the Duke to pay back the money when they arrived, but I didn't expect that Lord Lorraine was so generous. The building materials had to be shipped from the rear. The freight alone was probably a terrifyingly large figure.
What he didn't know was that Lord Lorraine had already prepared the rock for blasting the mountain, using local materials. He also included the port and fort projects, mixed them into one bill, and sent it to the Holy See.
The Holy See has always been generous in spending money on building churches. Even if it has no money now, just ask for donations and there will be many faithful men and women who will pay for it.
Claude immediately bowed deeply to the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you, Sir, thank you, Your Highness. The light will always be with you."
At this time, the following battleships had already galloped up one after another.
A group of warships immediately sounded their whistles to show their welcome.
The Royal Ark of the Elf Kingdom also showed no sign of weakness, recruiting twenty trumpeters and blowing loud horns at the same time.
With the arrival of the fleet, the sea suddenly became crowded. Due to the limited capacity of the island, many ships had to anchor outside the island.
In the harbor, large numbers of soldiers disembarked from the ships and were sent directly into the mountains and forests to conduct searches.
More than a dozen war fortresses carried several cardinals circling back and forth in the sky.
There were also many soldiers collecting the corpses of the undead and burying them in a large pit nearby. Priests and priests stood beside the pit, singing hymns loudly and sprinkling holy water on the corpses to transcend the injustice.
spirit.
Hundreds of engineers began to build trestles from the beach to the sea to facilitate deep-water ships to dock and load and unload cargo...
The whole island was in a commotion.
While everyone was busy, several plumes of black smoke suddenly rose from the mountains and forests deep in the island, and fled directly to the north.
Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar, and then let out a burst of warm cheers. Obviously, those were the lichs hiding in the mountains and forests. They saw that something was wrong, so they ran away in advance.
Vaguely, a sharp voice came: "Stupid humans, don't be too proud, this is just the beginning~!"
Although the voice was not high-pitched, it was hoarse and unpleasant. It weighed down like a heavy stone and made everyone's hearts sink. (To be continued...)
