As the saying goes, your butt determines your brain.
No matter how many times have changed from ancient times to the present, this sentence has never been missed.
The more placidly the bosses tell you, "I'm thinking about you," the more they are actually thinking about their own wallets.
It's just that most of the time, as employees, they are relatively weak and have no power to compete with them. Therefore, the boss pretends to think about the employees on the top, and the employees can only think about their own jobs below.
Pretend to believe, that's all.
Although Leo was young and had not heard of that universal truth, it did not stop the future greatest statesman and military strategist from following this policy.
When the young prince saw his father's generals suddenly appear with the imperial warships, the first thing he considered was not how they got here, but whether they had betrayed his empire and dragged the imperial fleet with them.
, set up another hilltop.
Seeing that Leo had pointed out the key to the problem so straightforwardly, the general couldn't help but grinned bitterly and said: "Young Master, we followed the Duke's order to lead reinforcements."
Leo blinked his big, shiny black eyes, then frowned, put his hands on his hips angrily, and said, "Kaput, do you think I can just lie to you because I'm young? Look at these little brothers.
, which one didn’t cover the badge on the armor.
Can you please be more skilled? The cover is not tight enough, it’s all exposed. I don’t even know how to say good things to you, the pretense is so fake. Huh~!”
The childish snort at the end immediately made everyone next to him smile.
The man looked at Lorraine next to him, as if he wanted to explain clearly to him, bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness, please.
We saw the war in Maple Leaf Danlin, and then we learned that the Almohad Empire had blatantly invaded Maple Leaf Danlin, and everyone was very angry.
Later, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Young Master were trapped in the city, and the soldiers were filled with indignation. At this time, General Wabador issued a summons order, so everyone came with all their strength day and night.
Come to reinforce you."
Leo tilted his head, looked at him, and said: "Reinforce us? Reinforce us. Why did you cover up the badge and our eagle flag..."
He pointed to the top of his head and continued: "Look, the eagle flag has also been lowered. You obviously want to change the flag~!"
The man smiled and said: "Young Master, you need to know that we and Almohad signed the "Ten Thousand Years of Friendship, Eternal Change... Peace and Friendship Treaty"..."
Lorraine found that the man said a treaty with such a long name in one breath without losing his breath, so she couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
The man smiled at him and continued: "So, the two countries have been friendly for generations now. The Ruman Empire and the Almohad Empire do not regard each other as enemies. The Ruman Empire and the Almohad Empire have a friendly relationship.
On the territory of a third party, the Ruman Empire army has no excuse to fight the Almohads."
Leo heard what he said was reasonable and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and said: "Since we can't send troops casually, why did you run out again..."
The man blinked and said with a smile: "We received an order from the Grand Duke. We are now mercenaries. So we have to cover up our previous badges to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary international disputes."
Leo was stunned and said: "Mercenary? Then how much is our commission?"
The man smiled bitterly, and then slowly stretched out a finger.
Leo immediately shouted excitedly and said: "One million gold coins? This is really..."
As soon as he said this, he saw the man slowly shaking his head in denial. Leo couldn't help but be startled and said: "Is it one hundred thousand? It seems a little less... isn't it right? You mean ten thousand, then...
Wouldn’t that be a free gift..."
He mentioned several numbers in a row, but they were all denied one by one. Finally, he couldn't help but become anxious and said: "Okay, I won't guess anymore. Just tell me how much it cost to sell us."
?”
The man smiled faintly and said: "One gold coin~!"
Leo immediately jumped up with a 'ouch' sound as if he had been stabbed in the lungs. As the general manager and CEO of Feiying Company now, he knew a lot.
He immediately pointed at the man and shouted angrily: "I'm going to kill you~! Kapt, I always thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to sell us for only one gold coin. Ha,
I understand, you must have received high kickbacks, right?"
Immediately afterwards, the next sentence revealed his true colors, saying: "Hurry up and give me some, otherwise I will report you to the Imperial Supervision Department~!"
The man looked at the future emperor of the empire and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He was very doubtful in his heart. Is there any hope for the Ruman Empire that has been strong for a thousand years? Should he be prepared to immigrate in advance?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Leo couldn't help but yelled, "Haha" and said, "You must be speechless. I knew it. Hurry, give me a break, otherwise I will report you to the Imperial Supervision Department."
.”
Kaput watched him stretch out his white and fat little hand and openly ask for a bribe. He sighed helplessly and said: "I also want a kickback, but the price was set by the Grand Duke himself."
Leo paused and immediately became dejected.
He crawled to the side weakly and said, "If you had told me earlier, you would have made me happy for a long time in vain."
Kapt bowed and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint His Highness."
After saying that, he cast a dissatisfied glance at Lorraine. Apparently he knew who the young master was following.
Lorraine smiled slightly, glanced at the cloud-like warships outside, and said: "I didn't expect that our empire's naval warships are so powerful. They look like elite troops at first glance."
Kapt waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty the Earl, you have misunderstood. We are not the Imperial Navy now. We are mercenaries hired by General Wabdor, and we have signed a contract. Please be sure to read this..."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Lorraine's half-smiling eyes. Then he understood Lorraine's subtext: The Grand Duke was restricted by the "Ten Thousand Years of Friendship..." treaty, but in order to give
The Almohads used stumbling blocks, shot them in the back with black guns and fired cold arrows, and pulled out the imperial fleet with only one gold coin. How could they be so shameless and majestic?
It can be seen from this that the reason why this brat Leo is so shameless and shameless is not something he learned from me, but the genetic inheritance of his family.
When Caput thought of this, his eyes could not help but flash with cold light. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said: "Earl of Lorraine, the prestige of the Longyacao family is indeed well-deserved."
Lorraine made a haha and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome. Hahaha..."
He suddenly remembered something, pointed at the warships outside and drew a big circle to include them all, and then asked: "Apart from ours, other people's warships don't come like this, right? Almoha
Are Germans now so badass that they are hated everywhere?"
Kaput thought for a moment and said: "About that. They used to take advantage of their naval superiority and often rob merchant ships of other countries at sea. Later, after they became successful, they became more and more rampant.
Nowadays, except for the big turtles, there is no one on the sea of Madidome that has not been robbed by them. When everyone mentions these guys, their teeth are itching with hatred, and they are all angry and looking for trouble with them."
When he said this, he laughed first and said: "Now that I have the opportunity, of course they all rush over to take revenge. We are still good. At least we have a gold coin as reward. Some people are crying and shouting,
Even if I give you a few more dollars, I will come over and kill them."
Wabador next to him cast a stern glance and said: "Kaput, you forgot to mention those graduates who were furious because of the invasion of the Almohads. They are the main force of our fleet."
Kaput bowed and said: "Yes, Dean. Thank you for the reminder."
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. It was obvious that "everyone pushes down a wall, and a drum breaks the thunder of thousands". Seeing that this side has an absolute advantage, as long as there is a little bit of strength, if you don't know how to take the opportunity to make a fuss,
If you can get some benefit from it, it is the product of incest marriage."
At this moment, a burst of warm cheers was heard from the front.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that a group of warships had dispersed, and all the remaining ten warships of the Almohad Empire were trapped in the arc-shaped encirclement. It seemed that they could no longer escape.
Following Wabador's order, the warships in front opened fire on the enemy one after another, pursuing the "giant ship cannon doctrine" that the navy officers liked the most and burned the most money, but at the same time, they were also the most
Boring gunfight.
In order to be able to escape, Almohad kept firing back to block the advance.
At this time, the Almohad people's long-term training showed their strength advantage over the fleets of other countries.
The two sides fired at each other for several minutes. Several ships belonging to unknown countries or local lords were injured and caught fire, and they withdrew from the battle.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people here, so several warships rushed forward to make up the formation, and continued to fire, which felt like beating the old master to death with random punches.
After a few more minutes, the Almohads were finally outnumbered, and several warships were hit and set on fire. Then they stopped and raised the white flag high.
When everyone saw it, they immediately cheered, their morale soared, and their experience points soared.
The rest of the battleships were also battered and bruised, but they were also extremely strong. As long as they could still move, they would try their best to escape, never giving up the last glimmer of hope.
However, General Wabador was experienced and commanded the warships to slowly shrink the encirclement and cover them tightly without revealing any flaws.
The Almohad Empire warships were bullied so miserably by them that they all caught fire and stopped. They could only raise their hands and surrender. In the end, only the flagship under the old Despey was left.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help shouting and were about to rush over and beat him to death with sticks.
At this moment, a horn sound was heard on the flagship.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the horn sound of retreating troops. Then, they heard the horn sound change and became more serious. All the warships could only curse angrily, stopped, and watched helplessly.
The other party slipped away from under his nose.
Lester was watching the battle from a distance on the flagship. Seeing that situation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Wabador with an unhappy expression, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, what do you want...
…”
When he said this, he suddenly saw a proud and cunning smile on Wabador's face. He was immediately stunned and thought to himself: This old guy took the wrong medicine?
He had been fighting with Wabador and Obachm for most of his life, but after a brief thought in his mind, he immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but laugh and curse: "You cunning old dog~!"
Leo watched helplessly as the battleship escaped calmly, slowly shrunk, and finally turned into a small black dot on the horizon. He couldn't help but slap the railing, looked back at Wabador, and scolded unceremoniously: "
I said, old man, why did you suddenly give the order not to pursue me? Did you also take their kickback?"
Wabador and Lester looked at each other and smiled, and then said calmly: "Yes, you guessed it right. I was planning to give them a good meal."
Leo was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Wabador turned to look at Lorraine and said, "What do you think?"
Lorraine lowered his head and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "The dean is indeed wise and resourceful, I admire him very much."
A strange light suddenly flashed in Wabador's eyes. He glanced at Lester next to him, and saw the calmness on his face. He obviously guessed that Lorraine would see through his intentions, and his heart sank again, and then said:
"Admire? What do you admire about me?"
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the overwhelming battleships outside, which were all over the line of sight, and said: "When I saw Maple Leaf Danlin's call, everyone had a sincere heart to make a fortune, and gathered to help. Although a
The battle is successful, but when people come, we can't let them run away in vain.
But we can't provide the money ourselves. We can only ask the Almohads who started the war. If we don't let him go, we will have no excuse to fight with them and steal money and things from them.
If they were all wiped out here, their emperor said that the old guy was a temporary worker, and those actions were his personal actions, and then he picked them all off, wouldn't everyone have nothing to play with, and now the old guy
The guy ran back, and I have no excuses."
After hearing this, Leo couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement, then looked at Wabador with admiration, and praised loudly: "Grandpa, you are really worthy of being my boss's dean. You are indeed a super person."
You old scoundrel. Such a treacherous trick, you figured it out in the blink of an eye. It’s so awesome, so awesome~!”
After everyone heard what he said, they all choked on their saliva and almost died.
Lorraine was sweating profusely, and with a smile on her face, she said to everyone: "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled, haha, hahaha..."
Kaput looked at Lorraine's embarrassed look, and suddenly felt that wiping his young father-in-law's butt was indeed a very difficult thing, and couldn't help but patted Lorraine's shoulder sympathetically.
Wabador did not feel dissatisfied and laughed loudly and said: "Almohad actually dared to attack Maple Leaf Danlin and provoke a war. Then let them know what the consequences of offending us will be~!"
His voice turned sharp as he spoke, and then he stood up and shouted loudly: "Give me the order. The whole army turns to Maple Leaf Danlin. After we rest and reorganize, we will attack Almohad with all our strength~!"
Everyone agreed with a roar, turned around and left, going to their respective posts.
Immediately afterwards, the horn sounded. All the warships slowly turned and headed towards Maple Leaf Danlin.
A group of people boarded the battleship and slowly turned around.
Due to the surge in our own strength, when passing through the Principality of Portores, everyone's memory suddenly became very good. It suddenly occurred to them that they were aiding the evildoers, allowing the Almohads to cross the border, and not warning Maple Leaf Danlin.
Immediately, under the leadership of General Wabador, a group of ruffians ran over and struck a blow at the wallflowers.
As a typical opportunist, Archduke Podores naturally understood that such a big thing had happened this time. In order to prevent the Maple Leaf Danlin people from spreading fire on them, he naturally gritted his teeth and tried his best to show off.
After a series of bargaining, the two parties finally stood up and left with satisfaction as Archduke Portores begged, "Everyone, please leave me some underwear!"
However, since Maple Leaf Danlin's port could not accommodate such a large number of coalition warships, a large part of the warships were transferred to the ports stationed in the Principality of Portores.
At that moment, the fleet was divided into two parts. One part turned around and sailed back, while the other set up its sails and sailed along the river to the Stillwater Lake, collecting the surrendered Almohad warships along the way.
Hundreds of warships with varying degrees of damage were parked quietly on both sides of the river.
The Almohads on the ship stood dejectedly. It didn't matter if we were defeated. Our skills were inferior to others, and the general in command was only 250. It didn't matter if we were chased and beaten. After all, we are all soldiers, not you.
I just hit you.
Besides, they are also used to being beaten by the Maple Leaf Danlin people. What makes them extremely aggrieved is that they surrendered and were ignored. They were directly kicked aside by the Maple Leaf Danlin people. They still have to clean themselves up and be honest.
Stay here and wait for someone to come and surrender.
It was not that they had never thought of jumping into the water to escape, but it was the coldest time of winter, and the snowstorm the night before had frightened them out of courage.
Moreover, this place is far away from the Almohad Empire, separated by a wide ocean. They have no food and lack of supplies. They will be caught if they cannot run dozens of miles away. With good luck, they can be sent back to Maple Leaf Danlin to receive the reward.
If you don't remember it, you might be beaten to death by someone who thinks it's a bandit.
Hundreds of warships were towed behind the army. Due to the lack of manpower, most of the prisoners had to be responsible for driving their own ships and transporting themselves to the prisoner of war camp in Maple Leaf Danlin.
Lorraine saw that he was not too far away from the castle, so he turned to a mage beside him and said, "Find someone with faster legs and go back to report the good news. We have wiped out the Almohad invaders."
"I'll go, I'll go." A mage didn't wait for anyone else to say anything, so he rose into the air and flew towards the Maple Leaf Danlin.
The fleet sailed into Jingshui Lake, and when it slowly approached the port, everyone on the ship saw a group of maple leaf Danlin people standing on the port.
When they saw the fleet flying the rough Maple Leaf flag, they gave out roaring cheers. Some people threw their hats into the air, and some waved the Maple Leaf flag desperately.
Catherine and others were also among the crowd.
The people who followed Lorraine to join the pursuit were also screaming and jumping on the boat.
They have this qualification because they won a great victory.
But this is not the end yet. The next step is to bring the war to Almohad and let the initiators of the war taste the feeling of being invaded~!
