Not long after, a group of officers led by General Wabador and Lester walked in and immediately filled the duty room.
Judging from the way the two of them were burping and swaying, it was clear that these two drunkards drank a lot every day after encountering the good wine in that cellar.
As soon as Lester entered the door, he saw Adele gnashing her teeth and staring at him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he woke up, laughed dryly twice, and then hurriedly threw away the wine glass in his hand.
He threw it out the window casually.
Immediately, a scream of ‘Ah~!’ came from outside, and I didn’t know which passerby was unlucky.
Seeing that Lester was being managed so obediently by his granddaughter, Wabador could not help but look at him with disdain and secretly cursed, ‘Another weakling~!’ (Why do you say ‘again’?)
He straightened his beard and asked loudly: "What happened again? Is another Almohad son of a bitch coming to die?"
Lorraine stepped forward and saluted, and said: "No one dares to come here to die again. But there is an envoy of Almohad outside, claiming to be Archbishop Lagre."
General Wabador said "Oh" in surprise and blurted out: "They are here so soon?"
As he said this, Lester looked at each other and saw that he was still nodding and bowing to Adele, smiling all the time. He knew that the old guy couldn't count on him now.
He twirled his beard and thought for a moment, then said to the guard officer next to him: "Go and invite him over."
Gerardor agreed, then turned around and walked out of the door.
"Wait a minute." Wabador looked at his back and suddenly shouted: "Follow the rules and give him a showdown. Do you understand?"
Gerardor turned around in shock and saw that there was no sign of joking on Wabador's face, so he agreed again, turned around and walked out the door.
Leo listened from the side and was extremely curious, "What are the rules and what are the threats?"
He rolled his big eyes, and then quietly followed out while no one was paying attention.
It's just that he grew up in the hands of Catherine. As soon as he stuck his butt out, Catherine knew what he wanted to do. Seeing that he was so arrogant, it was obvious that he didn't intend to do anything good. She was afraid that this little gangster would cause some trouble again.
At that moment, he reached out and held him down, pushing him back to the chair.
Wabador thought for a moment, then turned to Lorraine and said, "What do you think of this messenger?"
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "They are just envoys, there is no harm in meeting them. The most important thing is that we cannot close the door to negotiations. Once they are really pushed into a hurry, even rabbits will bite."
He thought of something and said seriously: "What's more, we cannot and cannot destroy this country. If we do this, it will make everyone and all countries fear us. No country can
We will never allow such a powerful academy to exist that easily destroys other countries.
I mean any country~!
By that time, we will be surrounded from all sides."
A light suddenly flashed in Wabador's eyes. He praised loudly: "That's right~! I didn't get carried away by the victory."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Lorraine smiled lightly, and then continued: "Since this country cannot be destroyed, then what we want to obtain must ultimately be fought for at the negotiation table."
Wabador nodded approvingly and said loudly: "Boy, I didn't expect that you are also very good at political opinions. Compared to the old bald man Obachum, you are much better~! When he first came, he was also
Said so.
Well, if I had known you were so capable, I should have recruited you earlier, so that my old man would have suffered a lot more from that bastard in the past few years."
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to herself: You are still angry. As soon as I entered the school gate, I heard about it. Whenever you were free, you ran to the door of other people's houses, blocked the door and cursed~!
During that period, we were embarrassed to say that we were from the military academy when we went out.
He looked at Lorraine, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Then he glanced at Lester next to him and said maliciously: "Boy, I'm unlucky. I don't have a granddaughter, otherwise I would have married some of you. Hahaha
…”
As he spoke, he patted Lorraine hard on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
Lester snorted coldly next to him.
He saw Luo Linna sitting on one side, her pretty face still a little pale, and he couldn't help but think of Luo Linna's serious injury when the academy was attacked, and he immediately felt as if someone had stabbed her lungs.
He sneered disdainfully and said: "We are all fighting here. Now do they think of peace talks? What have they been doing? Talk to them like crazy~!
Let me tell you, capture that old rabbit emperor and kill him with one knife~! Let’s see who else dares to covet our academy in a thousand years from now~!”
The officers nearby immediately cheered loudly.
"Well said."
"That's right~!"
"This is how we should deal with them~!"
"..."
Although the guards and bodyguards standing guard nearby did not speak due to their status, their faces were flushed and excited.
It is obvious that this hard-liner's main war ideology occupies a large proportion in the hearts of officers and ordinary soldiers.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought to himself: Being belligerent is a good thing, because you can grab a lot of things. But being too belligerent and causing unnecessary casualties is not a good thing.
According to a great life guidance manual handed down two thousand years ago, if you don't play hooligans, you will be bullied to death by hooligans. But just playing hooligans will cause social instability. If you don't play hooligans, you will be bullied to death by other hooligans.
If we unite, we will be beaten to death.
Only by manipulating a guy from time to time and acting like a hooligan is this the kingly way. (The Book of Changes says, "A gentleman uses weapons to eliminate weapons, so as to avoid danger. Soldiers cannot be played with, otherwise they will have no power; soldiers cannot be abolished, otherwise they will summon bandits. In the past,
King Wu Fu Chai died because of his bellicosity, and King Xu Yan was destroyed without military force. Therefore, the king of Ming Dynasty controlled the country by not using military force at the top and without abolishing military force at the bottom." The author's personal opinion. Let's chat and laugh, don't make bricks.)
But in such an exciting situation, he couldn't say anything more. He could only sigh and said: "No matter what, we can only find out through talking."
However, he was not too optimistic in his heart. He secretly said: "As an archbishop, the other party is also very short-sighted. If he comes here at this time, it may not necessarily lead to any good results."
General Wabador took all the generals and sat down in the conference room.
General Wabador sat in the main seat, Lorraine, Lester and the generals sat on both sides of the long conference table, leaving the seat opposite to the envoy.
After a while, under the leadership of Laladore, a tall and thin old man came to the door of the conference room.
Lorraine looked out through the door and window.
He found that just as he was about to enter the door, the guards standing in rows on both sides of the door shouted loudly at the same time, then drew out their swords, touched them hard in mid-air, and let out a clanging sword fight.
The sound of the song caused sparks to fly in all directions.
In just a blink of an eye, a gleaming sword gate was erected in front of the door, with an extremely terrifying momentum.
The old man was immediately startled and looked at the captain of the guard next to him in confusion.
Although Gerardor was puzzled by the childish behavior of the old general, he still bit the bullet and made a gesture of invitation, signaling the old man to duck under the sword array.
Leo's eyes widened immediately. He had only heard about this Diamond Sword Formation from street storytellers and had never seen it before. He couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but laugh. Even though he lowered his head and passed through the gleaming cold light, full of murderous intent, and if the sword array was not fully protected, no one would fight for you. It was indeed a huge test for a person.
But in all literary and artistic works, this thing is usually used by bad people for good people. It is used to reflect the fearless spirit of heroes who are not afraid of sacrifice.
In this way, he seems to have become a bad person.
Sure enough, when the old man saw the murderous sword formation, he just smiled faintly, then held his head high and strode forward without even looking at the sword edge that touched his neck.
When the sword edge barely touched his neck, the guards couldn't make up their minds, turned to look at Gerardor, and then hurriedly withdrew.
The old man faced the sword formation, but he walked towards the hall step by step calmly. In a few breaths, he had passed the sword formation and arrived in the hall.
Only then did Lorraine look carefully.
I saw that he was wearing a white robe, a gold belt, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and he looked dignified. But his face was slightly pale. It was obvious that the threat given to him by General Wabador did not intimidate him.
, but it still has some effects.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and nodded, put on the friendly look that the magic sticks are best at, stretched out his hand in front of his chest, made a blessing gesture, and said to everyone: "May the light of the gods last forever.
Shine. Hello, generals."
Leo looked at his smile that was exactly the same as when Lorraine cheated him of his wallet. He immediately lowered his head to his waist and touched it twice like a conditioned reflex.
As a result, he was happy to find that his wallet was hard and the things were obviously still there. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt uneasy and held the wallet tightly in his hand, looking at the man with a wary face.
The old man whispered: "Humph. No matter how good you smile, you can't even try to cheat a penny out of my pocket~!"
Catherine immediately put her hand on her forehead, sighed lowly, and thought to herself: This little scoundrel, it's really hard not to take good care of him for a while.
After listening to his childish words, everyone nearby ignored the archbishop's embarrassed expression and grinned secretly.
General Wabador was keenly aware of the implications of his words, looked at the man with interest, and said softly: "Oh? You mean that the gods protect us, which means that Almohad will not be protected.
?”
The messenger smiled faintly, straightened his clothes, and then whispered softly as if nothing had happened: "The gods have always been protecting Almohad. They just no longer protect this emperor."
Hearing what the envoy said, the generals of the conquering army were stunned and looked at each other.
General Wabdor said "Oh", squinted his eyes, stared into the other person's eyes with cold blade-like eyes, and said softly: "Oh, your emperor didn't send you to say this, right?"
The old man did not change his expression, but bowed slightly and said: "Formal introduction, I am Lagre, Archbishop of Negmott. I am visiting General Wabador and other generals on behalf of myself and some friends."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone felt strange. Didn't that person come on behalf of the Emperor?
General Wabador couldn't help but be a little curious and said: "Representing you personally and some friends? Which friends are they?"
Lagree smiled and said softly: "There are not many people left. That is, the governors of the seventeen southern provinces and the commanders of the garrison, and..."
Seeing the disapproving looks on everyone's faces, he smiled softly, and then said softly: "And General Hardou, deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy and Army."
Everyone was immediately shocked and moved.
You know, although the old man's words were beautiful, they could not hide the fact that the other side's generals planned to collude with this side and betray their Majesty the Emperor.
General Wabador and everyone looked at each other, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, his smile suddenly faded, he pointed at the man's nose and shouted sternly: "You said you are, you are? The upper lip touched the lower lip. Just blew it. Is there any evidence? Show it to me.
Take a look. Otherwise, don’t blame me for cutting off your dog’s head~!”
After talking about it, in excitement, the saliva from his mouth spurted out, splashing all over Lagree's face.
At the same time, a group of officers also shouted in unison, threatened and cheered for General Wabador.
Facing the agitated crowd, Lagre remained calm, took out his handkerchief and wiped the saliva on his face, then said with a smile: "I believe that the dean of your clergy college, Obachm, can confirm my identity.
"
General Wabador immediately became furious, pounded the table angrily, and yelled at the guard next to him: "Pull him out quickly, chop him off, hurry up, chop off his head. This bastard, I
If you look at it, you will get angry, and I will chop him down."
Two guards came over immediately.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she had to sing this red face. She had no choice but to step forward and stop the two guards. Then he said: "Bishop Lagree and Archbishop Obachm are in charge of the daily work of the college.
Didn't come over. Is there anyone else you can suggest to prove your identity?"
"This is indeed a bit troublesome..." Lagre lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said softly: "But there are other ways. Is Hilmeria from the Niodos family here? Although we only arrived very early in the morning
We have met before, but I believe she can still recognize me."
Lorraine couldn't help but look at the man with admiration. It seemed that the other party really wanted to have peace talks with people like him. He thought for a moment, then ordered the guard next to him, "Go and ask for the deputy commander of the gendarmerie."
When the guard heard the words 'gendarme', he couldn't help but shudder. He obviously didn't want to deal with those people. But he had no choice but to look at Lorraine with a resentful look, then turned and left.
After a while, Hilmeria, who was busy arresting soldiers who were harassing the people, drinking and fighting, hurried in.
As soon as she entered the door, she was stunned when she saw the bishop. She saluted everyone and said hello. Then she couldn't hold it any longer and asked first, "Archbishop Grale, why are you here?"
Everyone was immediately reassured. They couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw the joy on each other's faces.
General Wabador coughed slightly and said: "Archbishop Grale is here to negotiate peace with us. Please wait for a while before chatting with him."
Hilmeria felt strange, but she didn't say anything else. She just agreed and stood aside.
Glare looked at everyone and smiled, then reached out and took out a few documents from his arms. He handed them over and said: "Guys, please take a look. These are the documents authorized by the governors of the provinces and General Duha to be my plenipotentiary."
After Wabador took it, he looked at it very carefully. The level of care was almost to the point of being rude. If he had been a more arrogant guy, he might have proposed a duel.
At this time, Catherine stood up, then walked over, picked up one of the documents, looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "I don't know anything else, but this copy from General Hadou should be genuine.
of."
Everyone couldn't help but look at her in astonishment.
Catherine shrugged and said, "It's nothing. When my father has nothing to do, he just likes to study General Hardou, so his study is almost full of the General's handwriting, seals, and life stories."
Leo also shouted from the side: "Yes, that's right. Our old man is indeed like this. Not only that. He also often takes a little straw man with General Hadou written on it and pricks it with a needle.
Oh, it’s so fun..."
Before he could finish his words, Catherine's eyes were already red with shame. If people knew that the dignified Grand Duke Julius actually did such a childish behavior, they would definitely be laughed out of his mouth.
She flew up without thinking, and amid Leo's screams and loud protests, she kicked him aside like a ball.
Catherine looked at the archbishop in embarrassment, laughed twice, and said: "Your Excellency, children are talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously, haha, hahaha..."
Archbishop Grale was unfazed, smiled softly, and said: "It doesn't matter. As far as I know, General Hadou often does this."
He looked at Leo who looked unhappy next to him, blinked, and continued: "But, he wrote the Grand Duke's name on the paper, and then made a cross or something to curse him."
After everyone heard this, although they did not dare to laugh because of Catherine's face, they all grinned in discomfort.
General Wabador felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Catherine staring at him with a livid face. Under the gaze of her beautiful gray eyes, he coughed lightly and returned to the topic, saying: "
Your Excellency, Archbishop, how do you want to negotiate?"
