Chapter 1454 The cheap son-in-law comes to the door
"The Count of Lorraine asked me to bring you a message." Melun looked at his uncle's face and said cautiously.
Brad, the Lord of Iskander City, rolled his eyes at Melun with great dissatisfaction, as if looking at a coward. After snorting coldly, he said slowly: "Lorraine? Which Lorraine?"
Melun smiled bitterly and thought to himself: This uncle of his is good at everything, and he usually takes good care of himself, but he loves face too much, and he always comes at any time, and still puts on airs.
Lorraine, how could he not know that Melun once saw a portrait with Lorraine's name written on it in the study of Brad, the Lord of Iskander City? It was full of darts and was chopped with swords.
Apparently, when his uncle was fine, he often used the target marked Lord Lorraine to vent his anger.
Looking at the rows of soldiers with bright armor beside the city lord, Melun curled his lips and said helplessly: "Which Lorraine, of course, is the powerful Semi clan who eloped with his cousin..."
As soon as he said this, a cold light flashed in the city lord's eyes, and his face turned gloomy.
General Melun couldn't help but shudder.
Since Fiona left, his uncle was most afraid of people mentioning the word elopement. Even if the cat in the yard eloped, his old man would be furious and send out heavy troops to search the city to catch the unlucky fat cat.
When he came back, he was castrated with a knife, which showed how much the Lord of Iskander hated his cheap son-in-law.
Everyone in Caribbean City knew about this incident, and it was laughed at by those stupid people for a long time.
Although the official statement is that Fiona was snatched away by that despicable villain Lorraine, when Mellen was not on the expedition, he read several letters home from Fiona.
From the above description, it seems that my cousin is not only willing to elope with others, but also leads a pretty good life among humans.
I took a smuggling boat and kept bringing good things home.
Top-quality cigars, high-end perfumes, silks, gems, and all kinds of luxury goods are packed one by one every time.
Whenever this happens, Lord Iskander is as happy as a flower, enjoying scolding Lorraine over and over again.
Since it was changed to the Semitic National Free Army, Melun and the people of the Fourth Caribbean Division have been taking care of Fiona. Melun knows how nourishing his cousin's life is with humans, especially after knowing
After Fiona's net worth, Melun's eyes were red with envy.
Seeing that his uncle was like a donkey whose tail had been stepped on, Melun hurriedly changed his words and said: "Robbing, it's robbery~!"
He snatched away his cousin and Adelin, the two Semitic flowers, and had a head-to-head confrontation with the high priest, which finally made him return to Lorraine in defeat."
The Lord of Iskander snorted coldly, then pursed his lips, his face sinking. He pretended to think about it for a moment, and then seemed to have finally remembered it. He nodded and said in a long voice: "Oh
...are you talking about that Lorraine?
A human hooligan, what qualifications does he have to talk to me?"
After saying that, he snorted heavily and squinted his eyes, his eyes full of disdain to show the city lord's disdain for that humble human being.
The guard officers and soldiers beside the city lord looked at each other, and then shrugged quietly. Even they knew that their boss was pretending again.
In Caribbean City, some people don't know the name of the city lord, but no one doesn't know who Lord Lorraine is.
And when Lorraine was mentioned, the Caribbean people gave a thumbs up and praised the city lord's cheap son-in-law as a good man who led everyone to get rich and become well-off.
Melun grinned and thought to himself: This great master really dares to say that. He is a human gangster, and he is also a "mere"?
If you show me such a character in the Semitic tribe, I'm afraid that even if there is someone smarter and more powerful than Lord Lorraine, he will be killed by those nobles and lich before he can show up.
Among the Semitic people, it is not a good thing for a Semitic person to act too capable.
But having said that, only he is qualified to comment on Lorraine like this. After all, it is the father-in-law's inalienable natural right to be picky about his son-in-law.
His old man said this, even if Lord Lorraine was in front of him, he could only smack his lips and swallow, not daring to antagonize his father-in-law.
Melun smiled bitterly, and then said patiently: "Sir, you don't know, that Lorraine is very awesome now... Well, awesome is what humans say, and in our words, he is very powerful.
mean."
"Oh? How powerful? How powerful?" City Lord Iskander stared at Melun with wide eyes.
Melun sighed and said: "Sir, Lorraine is famous among humans. He uses soldiers like a god, strategizes, and wins thousands of miles.
Respected by humans as the ‘Flying Eagle God of War’, his name is well known to everyone.
In this war, it was he who commanded the human army and fought a series of bloody battles with our expeditionary force.
First, in a place called Delong, his sharpshooters killed General Maschinault, the commander of the Eastern Front, with one shot from a mile away. In the end, Maschinault himself died without even knowing how he died.
of."
Lord Iskander was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Maschinot, is he dead?"
As a big figure among the Semitic people, the Lord of Iskander had also heard of Maschinot's name.
Melun nodded and said, "I heard his head exploded.
Then in the Great Battle of Fantino, he defeated our entire naval fleet and captured Admiral Orgen and hundreds of thousands of our soldiers."
"Orgen was also caught?" City Lord Iskander cried out in surprise and said in disbelief: "If that guy is not very capable, how could he be caught by a human being?"
"Alas," Melun sighed and said, "No matter how capable General Orgen is, he can't withstand the overwhelming power of mankind. As soon as his fleet arrived at Fantino, it was dominated from three sides by tens of thousands of human warships.
, it only took half a day to destroy it. The 100,000 reinforcements carried on it were all captured by humans."
"Tens of thousands of ships~!" A cry came from the crowd of Semitic officers and soldiers.
Although Lord Iskander was also shocked by the number of human fleets, he still turned around and glared at the guy who made the fuss.
As Caribbean people who have been in the sea since childhood, they naturally understand what tens of thousands of warships mean.
Just dozens of human warships in front of me completely surrounded the Caribbean Port. If tens of thousands of human warships gathered outside the Caribbean Port...
Just thinking about that scene makes my scalp numb.
The Semitic officers and soldiers all looked at the city lord sitting in the middle, and their hearts were quite heavy. With the few men and horses in the Caribbean, they would definitely not be able to defeat humans. Everyone's fate now fell on this city lord.
It depends on whether this man is willing to negotiate peace.
After all, the person in charge opposite was Lord Lorraine, the son-in-law of their Caribbean people. A hope arose in the hearts of these officers and soldiers, and they secretly thought: Maybe they will be given preferential treatment?
Melun became more and more energetic as he spoke. He gestured and said: "After the failure of the Battle of Fantino, Veraplani was left alone. He was betrayed by a human villain favored by the high priest, and the entire army was surrounded by Lorraine.
The high priest listened to the slander of that human villain. Not only did he not send troops to rescue, but he also promoted Veerapurani to the emperor. Didn't this force him and our Semitic brothers to die? So General Veerapurani was furious.
We surrendered to Lorraine, but we also saved 60,000 Semitic brothers."
Lord Iskander turned to look at the soldiers beside him. At this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were the same as his, shocked, confused, and angry.
How could the wise high priest of the undead be so confused?
They listened to the words of humans and drove their own people to a dead end, leaving their Semitic compatriots to die in vain.
Lord Iskander snorted coldly and said: "This must be a human conspiracy."
Melun shrugged, shook his head and said: "The human villain who bewitched the high priest was Lorraine's enemy. After he was caught by Lorraine, he was beheaded in public."
"This..." City Lord Iskander was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth and snorted.
Melun sighed in his heart. Every Semitic person who knew the news was filled with indignation. The high priest did not care about the lives of Semitic soldiers at all.
Then he said: "The 500,000-strong army led by Orlandini raided the Ruman Empire from the north, but was surrounded by a million-strong human army at the foot of Ruman City. For five months, the high priest did not send a single reinforcement, and then
…”
Melun was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "The whole army was wiped out. Emperor Ruman issued a kill order. There was no one left alive. But most of the people who died were Lei Shan's people."
"hiss……"
There were gasps of air all around, and even the face of Lord Iskander changed.
Half a million people were completely killed by humans, and the ruthlessness alone was enough to scare them.
Melun sighed and said: "At the last moment, Orlandini abandoned the soldiers and fled alone, but the war fortress he was riding in was destroyed by Lorraine's war fortress, and his body was completely gone.
Then his artillery killed General Aberglen, and finally surrounded our legions under Ryder City, forcing the high priest to retreat..."
There was silence in the big tent.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Melun's introduction.
Due to the impact of the war, traffic information was completely blocked. This was the first time they heard definite news about the war.
Although I didn't know the details, just hearing the names of those fallen Semitic warriors from his mouth made me feel how thrilling that war was.
Lord Iskander felt proud and a little bitter for a moment.
What I am proud of is that my daughter has a good eye for picking out people. She caught such a big golden turtle with just one fishing catch. No, it should be a golden dinosaur.
The bitter thing is that the pretty boy was so powerful that he beat his own people to pieces and completely defeated them.
Just listen to Melun continue to say: "It is said that the Pope of Humanity's Light is also his girlfriend, and she even gave birth to a baby. Would I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?
Now, following his order, humans organized an army of millions and crossed the sea. How powerful do you think he is?"
"Whoops~!" Even a royal noble like Lord Iskander, whose life is elegance and politeness, could not help but utter a curse word in a low voice. Because without this, he would not be able to vent the depression and anger in his heart.
He paused and said, "Okay. Tell me, what did Lorraine ask you to bring me?"
Melun hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "The imperial army said... bah bah bah bah, he said... he wants you to... surrender?"
Lord Iskander immediately became furious. He slammed the table and roared angrily: "What a fart! As a Semitic royal family, I surrender to a mere human being? It's just... it's just a daydream."
In anger, he kept yelling and cursing. Melun was sprayed all over his face by his saliva, and he didn't dare to wipe it off. He looked extremely embarrassed.
This old guy's lung capacity is extremely good. He scolded him for a long time without even taking a breath.
After a while, Melun finally found an opportunity and hurriedly interjected: "Sir, you don't know how powerful human beings are.
The cannons in their hands are very powerful. One cannon can travel ten miles. And when it fires, the mountains shake and the earth shakes. When the cannonballs explode, it will cause the earth to collapse.
Moreover, they have countless war fortresses in their hands. Even the undead war fortresses cannot defeat them.
In addition, they also have various firearms and grenades in their hands, all of which are extremely powerful. They are far beyond what we people can withstand."
All the officers present looked at each other with disdain on their faces.
They did not participate in the war and did not understand the situation on the battlefield at all. Therefore, everyone thought that Melun was frightened by others, and then exaggerated the facts to brag for mankind.
The Lord of Iskander also stared and shouted angrily: "What a fart~! What a cannon, what a war fortress, what a gun and grenade. It's useless."
When fighting a war, we must rely on bloody morale.
We Semites are not afraid of anyone, we can beat up ten of them just by looking for one."
His words immediately resonated with the officers present, and many even couldn't help but applaud.
"Well said."
"My lord is absolutely right."
"We Semites are not afraid of anyone~!"
"..."
Melun looked around and saw the disdain in each other's eyes.
In the past, he would have felt excited listening to those heroic words. But after experiencing a war on the human side, he had already felt the huge gap between the two sides. He began to study seriously.
At this time, looking at the enthusiastic expressions of the group of people in front of him, he couldn't help but feel waves of bitterness and sadness.
These people are too conservative and stubborn, not to mention that the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. They have failed once, but they still refuse to open their eyes and see the world.
Melun almost begged and said: "Sir, let's... let's surrender. Stop resisting in vain. Think about it, our expeditionary force of one million has been completely wiped out..."
Lord Iskander snorted coldly and said: "Coward~!"
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Go tell that Lorraine, what the Semitic people don't lack most is hot-blooded men. As long as he dares to attack, we will give them a ruthless blow and turn this place into a sea of blood. Let them
It’s all come and go.”
Melun couldn't help but lamented: He had experienced the power of human beings before. He knew clearly that under their overwhelming artillery fire, no living thing could survive.
He raised his head and glanced at everyone. The desperate look in his eyes made the officers feel chilled.
Then, he wanted to say something more, but looking at the stubborn face of the city lord Iskander, he finally turned into a long sigh. Then he bowed deeply to the city lord, turned around and left.
Lord Iskander was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What are you doing?"
Melun immediately stood still and said with a wry smile: "If the negotiations break down, I will naturally go back to answer the question."
Lord Iskander bit his lip hesitantly, and then said: "You kid is really clueless. It's so easy to take advantage of the opportunity and come back, so don't go there again. Just find someone to say no to you."
Melun smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, you don't know that I wrote a petition to the human race. If I don't go back, my family may be hurt."
With that said, he waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the door.
In the rest of the hall, everyone was staring with big eyes.
The city lord murmured: "The certificate of surrender? Why is the certificate of surrender so powerful that even Melun is afraid of it?"
When Melun returned to the ship and reported to Lorraine, Lord Luo also smiled bitterly at his cheap father-in-law: This old guy is really stubborn~!
Fiona next to her also gritted her teeth in hatred. Does this old man have rocks in his head? He has to kill each other to be happy?
In her extreme anger, she wanted to go over to negotiate alone. However, she was stopped by Lord Luo: Are you kidding me? What if the old guy turns his back on Fiona and detains Fiona?
what to do?
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This old guy won't shed tears even if he doesn't see the coffin. It's okay, brothers, give that old guy some color~!"
Fiona couldn't help but get furious after hearing this. That was her father. She could scold her as much as she wanted, but Lorraine also said that, which was really annoying. But because of the officers next to her, she had to force herself.
Pressing it, he just glared at Lorraine hatefully.
At this time, the officers happily agreed, secretly praying that Lord Luo would not kneel on the washboard too much tonight, and acted quickly on their own.
Following the order, the battleship Victory directly in front of the port sounded its whistle.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of fire broke out from the side of the battleship Victory facing the port, and then a column of white smoke rose up.
In the next second, orange-red fireworks exploded on the breakwater of the port. Then bursts of black smoke rose into the sky.
At this time, the rumbling sound of cannons was heard. The sound was as earth-shattering as thunder and resounded through the sky.
fǎngfo was a signal, and more than a dozen battleships nearby also opened fire in sequence.
One after another, the cannons sprayed out flames that were several feet long, and kept bombarding towards the uninhabited part of the embankment. The rumbling sounds of cannons and juliè explosions came one after another, continuously.
Under concentrated fire and fire, that section of the embankment was shoveled and leveled.
In the castle, all the officers stared at the shelling in the distance. The flash of explosions reflected on their faces, making them all look extremely pale.
Lord Iskander's lips were also trembling. No wonder, no wonder humans wiped out millions of expeditionary troops in one go.
Just looking at the ferocious bombardment of humans, even if another million people come, they will only become cannon fodder.
This... these are all commanded by my cheap son-in-law?
Damn it, that pretty boy is really so capable?
The city lord was happy and proud at one moment, and frustrated and angry at the other. His mood was extremely contradictory.
At this moment, countless huge black shadows were seen slowly rising from outside the port.
After they rose into the air, they immediately roared towards this side.
The huge shadow completely blocked the sun like a dark cloud, causing everyone to suddenly feel a gloomy and cold feeling around them.
Someone shouted in a low voice: "War...war fortress is the war fortress of mankind."
Immediately, those war fortresses were seen flying into the port, and then they kept firing and bombing the ships parked in the port.
'Boom, boom boom boom...'
At the explosion of juliè, the entire port trembled.
Balls of orange-red flames rose into the sky, and the wooden boat was blown to pieces like a toy, with broken wooden boards flying randomly.
A rolling heat wave rushed in from the window and hit everyone's faces, making them all feel so hot that they could hardly breathe.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief: Human beings are actually as powerful as humans?
After a while, the artillery fire stopped. The war fortresses also retreated one after another.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the blue sky, suddenly feeling like they were in another world. At the same time, their hearts felt heavy: How can we fight this battle? (To be continued...)
