Everyone walked happily all the way. Under the command of the experienced, honest and steady General Philip, the daily schedule was orderly and unhurried.
For Lorraine and the others, except that they brought more bodyguards, this was just like a family trip.
But all the Imperial Guards were at ease.
Although they are nothing in the Ruman City where there are as many officials as dogs and barons flying all over the place, the status of each of them is definitely not low, at least they are also a royal knight.
Now that they have left the imperial city and come to a rural place where even a trainee knight is celebrated as a Chinese New Year, the official titles they show out one by one are enough to scare people to death. Moreover, they are also the future sailing helmsmen of the Ruman Empire, and the sea
A beacon of light, extremely wise and wise... the personal bodyguard of His Majesty the future Emperor Leo will definitely have an unlimited future.
Of course, everyone was pretending to be powerful and showing off their prestige. In addition, they were led by the Count of Lorraine and Young Duke Leo, two bad guys who had sores on their heads and pus on their soles and were afraid of the world being in chaos. What's more,
It's about letting go of courage.
Everyone harassed the place, blackmailed the town, and had a lot of fun.
But it’s really bad luck for other pedestrians on the road~!
The spacious Imperial Provincial Avenue was completely occupied by this huge team that stretched for miles. The Imperial Guards in front held high the flying eagle flag of the Ruman Empire, and the knights in the middle wore shining armor.
, with the crotch high and the war horse high, and the lance held high in the hand, it is as dense as a forest.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and their momentum is like a rainbow~!
Behind them were the followers. They drove their own private carriages, pulling the personal belongings and necessary supplies of these knights.
In addition, there are also smart businessmen who see the business opportunities and follow these people with their own goods, looking for opportunities to make money.
The royal guards who came out of Ruman City carried the boundless majesty of the royal family and disliked everyone. They ran rampant on the road without any scruples.
When the local guards guarding checkpoints and roads saw these men, they all knew that not only did the men of the Imperial Guard have high official positions, but they were all veterans who had experienced many battles.
Although everyone is not very clear about the fighting skills of these guys, they also know that the most awesome skill of the Royal Guards is arrogance~!
Except for those members of the royal family, these gentlemen looked down upon everyone else! And they would beat anyone up if they disagreed with them.
Therefore, when the local guards saw it, they just pretended not to see it, especially when they were under the banner of Princess Catherine. These people were born in the year of the lion. With the eagle flags on their heads, the local guards saw
They either stay away or are obedient.
Of course, even though these great men have shown their prestige, what you need to know is that although there is an upper limit to human intelligence, there is no lower limit.
Since the empire has lasted for thousands of years, there will inevitably be many drawbacks. (In fact, the people of Lorraine are one of them.)
Among those officials who have been local kings and hegemons for a long time, many are brothers-in-law, second-generation ancestors and the like.
In their respective territories, they usually rely on their power to bully the people under their rule. They are so used to bullying that they really think of themselves as some kind of person.
In a nightclub in Alash City, the guards who were out for fun and the local gangsters had a dispute over whether the eggs should be beaten from the larger end or the smaller end. This is a key issue related to human life and death.
conflict.
Being alone and without weapons, these royal guards were surrounded by a large group of gangsters and were immediately beaten to pieces.
And because they were unfamiliar with the place, everyone was stuck in a dead end in the process of escaping...er...turning in, turning in.
Facing nearly a hundred powerful enemies, more than a dozen royal guards defended the honor of the royal family. Even though they fought extremely bravely, they were outnumbered and were annihilated by the gangsters.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the fight, a guard's follower saw that something was wrong, so he had the good sense to blend into the crowd of onlookers, and then fled back to report the news.
Since we are within the empire, there is no need to worry about safety issues. Moreover, Lord Lorraine considerately gives everyone a holiday wherever he goes, allowing everyone to have fun as they please, in order to boost the local economic index.
Those royal guards who were not on duty followed the fine tradition of imperial soldiers and of course drank heavily.
While bragging, everyone drank cat urine. They were all top-heavy and confident that they could kill a few tigers. Now when they heard that someone dared to swat flies on their heads, they all screamed in anger.
It screamed like a wild boar whose tail had been stepped on, showing its sharp fangs.
After they received the news, they hurriedly gathered a team and rushed into the city.
These ruffians immediately surrounded the nightclub, and then stewed the gangsters who were holding a celebration banquet.
But just when everyone copied all the wine in the nightclub and prepared to celebrate, they forgot that things like gangsters and underworld, in this backward feudal society, in most cases
But he must be colluding with the officials.
After learning that his nightclub had been raided by a group of soldiers, as the backstage boss, the brother-in-law of the garrison commander of Arash City felt that his face had been damaged, so he went to his brother-in-law to mobilize troops, but the garrison commander did not
It was because everyone was not at home to greet Catherine.
The brother-in-law was so anxious that at this critical moment when royal personnel were in the city, he followed the usual practice and went to mobilize a whole battalion of nearly five hundred city guards to help him.
Under the orders of the brother-in-law, in order to maintain the social stability of Alash City, these city guards treated the royal guards as a riot involving a gang fight and dealt with it.
These warriors, who were armed to the teeth, relied on their superior equipment to mercilessly beat the guards who only had bricks and sticks in their hands and were too drunk to stand.
But at this time, although the Guards were once again at a disadvantage, they had only one battle cry, and that was, 'If the enemy doesn't surrender, destroy them~!'
And words like surrender and escape are not in their dictionary at all.
Therefore, facing this disadvantageous situation, these arrogant warriors once again used facts to prove their glory and reputation.
While everyone formed a formation and resisted desperately, they went back to call for help again.
This time, because too many people were mobilized, even Leo who was wandering around was alerted.
Even if this young man eats shit, he cannot miss his master. If he sees this kind of excitement, why not get involved in it?
The young master's eyes were so excited that he almost flashed green. He took off his shirt, revealing the tattoos all over his body, and then took the lead in charging with big weapons such as bricks and lime.
.
Seeing that the situation was slipping in an unpredictable direction, someone immediately went to report it to Lord Lorraine.
After Lord Luo found out, he was furious. The Royal Guards, who were said to be invincible in the world, actually suffered a loss at the hands of a bunch of bumpkins in this small place. What a shame and humiliation!
The old man immediately gave an order, blew the emergency rally call, and then led the remaining guardsmen to rush into the city~!
Immediately, he surrounded the city guards, forcibly disarmed them, and then led others to find the shivering brother-in-law who was hiding under the bed of the guard. He also poured tea and gifts.
, and also to accompany the medical expenses, and followed the rules of the world to recover the situation for his guards.
After this battle, the lofty image of Lord Lorraine and Young Duke Leo was established in everyone's mind. When everyone mentioned Lord Lorraine and Young Duke Leo, they all worshiped them as if they were gods.
After all, it is rare for a boss to go into battle in person, fend for himself as a soldier, and protect himself so well, no matter what era he is in.
After that, everyone knew how difficult these gangsters were to be trifled with, so they cheered up and dealt with them carefully.
This gang of hooligans was named the 'Scourge Legion' by Mr. Leo, and was sung by countless poems from later generations. Everywhere they went, the local gangsters would be frightened and run away in advance, causing the locals to panic.
The public security situation has improved by 0.1%. (It has to be improved by 0.1% because all the public security cases during this period were committed by these ruffians.)
During the itinerary, wherever the eldest princess visited, the local officials were all conscientious and did a good job of receiving her.
From the moment the team enters their jurisdiction, they have to wait in front of the eldest princess' team.
However, these small fish and shrimps are not in the eyes of Catherine and Leo, and the two of them have no idea of their existence. This is the tragedy of the lower-level bureaucrats.
However, after the incident in Alash City, everyone no longer cared about it, and did not seek promotion and wealth, but just wanted to be able to deal with it safely.
Lord Lorraine and others have also become much more relaxed along the way, just collecting bribes, attending dinner parties, dealing with local officials and those country bumpkins and other easy tasks.
Once they get interested, Catherine and Adele will take Lorraine to visit the local places of interest, and the local officials will also have to do a good job of clearing the place and receiving them.
Among the members of Lorraine's family, Leo and Melina are the happiest every day. The Nai'an Death Squadron, named by Lorraine himself, has now been brought under his command by His Highness Leo. As soon as they set up camp every afternoon, Leo will
He would lead his hundred or ten subordinates to accompany Melina around the camp like a star over the moon.
This group of people are all outliers in the Imperial Guard. Although each of them has a force value of over 80, if they start to fight against the local ruffians, one person can defeat a group of them.
But they have too many problems, let alone gathering people to gamble. After all, in Ruman's army, soldiers are not prohibited from gambling.
In addition, there are all kinds of surreptitious behaviors. This is really surreptitious. Although the food of the Imperial Guard is good, as the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief. The same goes for food.
The Naian Expendables are now living well under Leo's hands. Everywhere these guys go, they mingle with the local people.
These people are not good birds to begin with. Their gambling skills are all about cheating. If they are caught, they will cheat. They will either run away or fight with others. They are serious gamblers. After losing the bet, they will cheat.
It's just a fight, and if you can't fight, you go back and call for others, and then there are more people and fewer people bully you.
Leo was most interested in their actions. Once Catherine was not looking at him, he would hang out with these people and meet those who came back to call for help after losing the battle. Leo, the big boss, was of course the most interested in his younger brother.
He took care of it, and every time he pulled up his own death squad and rushed up to fight with others.
Leo always rushes to the front excitedly and shouts the loudest in the melee.
Of course, the people of the Imperial Guard would not put Leo in danger. They would pick out a few unlucky ones, beat them until they were unable to move, and throw them in front of His Highness Leo, so that Leo could have a good time.
Leo and his men were making a lot of noise all day long, but they had the most fun.
After more than ten days, the team gradually left the plains of Ruman City and entered the mountains and hilly areas in the south. In front of them was the junction of the three provinces.
From here on, it gradually becomes sparsely populated, especially now in late spring, when the vegetation is lush. Except for the occasional villages and towns on both sides of the road, the rest of the place looks like stretches of woods.
From here on, the Guards strengthened their vigilance, and since they were far away from the city, Lorraine and the others now only lived in tents.
But there are also advantages. Hunting is now popular among the Guards. After setting up camp every afternoon, Lorraine and Leo will lead the Naian Death Squadron and plunge into the woods on both sides of the road to start hunting in the mountains.
.
Lorraine's musket became a magical weapon when it came to Leo. Leo had two short guns in his waist, a long gun in his hand, and ammunition pouches on his belt. Behind him were several Forbidden Soldiers, specifically for Leo.
Reload.
Lorraine and Leo were addicted to guns, and the banging gunshots would continue until dark.
Lorraine used lead bullets at the beginning, but Leo's shooting skills were really not that good. With his small body, he would only be able to hit a small animal with a few shots.
Leo Zhong wanted to throw a bomb at him. The people in the Naian Expendables are all human beings. Usually when they encounter this kind of situation, they will actively share the boss's worries. They will use their bows and crossbows to shoot this poor little animal into a real life.
hedgehog.
Lorraine had no choice but to start loading iron sand into the barrel of the gun, and one shot covered a large area. The result was that the cook was now full of resentment.
General Philip ordered the team to stop and set up camp by a river. Catherine and Adele rode in a carriage for a day, and their backs were sore, and this was a remote mountainous area, which was of no interest to them both.
No, I got out of the car and got into the tent, too lazy to move.
As soon as Leo jumped off the carriage, he shouted loudly: "Gather, gather."
The members of the Naian Death Squadron quickly jumped off their horses and gathered in front of Leo.
Catherine sighed, but did not stop Leo, because hunting was a required skill for nobles, and it was more important than fighting. Catherine could only watch with envy as Lorraine took Vera out to join Leo.
Leo outside the tent had already begun to check the equipment. He skillfully loaded the gunpowder, loaded the projectiles, and inserted the safety into the holster around his waist.
Lorraine and Vera also stood with Leo holding various weapons.
Leo raised the spear in his hand, which was almost as tall as him, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go, I won't come back until I reach the wild boar today."
No. 100 people rushed into the nearby woods with a roar, and General Philip did not dare to neglect. A squadron of Forbidden Soldiers with armors and weapons followed Leo and the others to support them from behind.
The woods here are not dense. They are all tall temperate trees. The sun shines from the top of the tree crowns to the bottom. The ground is covered with humus soil formed by thick fallen leaves. Sparse shrubs and grasses are dotted in the forest.
Leo lowered his head and bent over, putting on a very professional look, and walked among the crowd with the guy behind him. The Forbidden Army soldier next to him suddenly shouted: "There, there, drive it over."
Lorraine pulled Leo and said: "I found it, don't go there, wait for them to come over."
Soon, noisy sounds came from Lorraine's left, the squealing of wild boars mixed with the shouting business of the Forbidden Army soldiers.
Lorraine and Leo raised their weapons at the same time, and Vera raised her big stick to protect Leo.
An adult wild boar opened a bush and rushed out. There were two arrows stuck in the wild boar's body, and blood was flowing from the wound.
Lorraine and Leo both pulled the trigger at the same time. There were two bangs, and smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun. The wild boar staggered, knelt on the ground with its front hooves, and fell sideways to the ground. After rolling around,
But he stood up again, turned around and fled deeper into the woods.
Leo threw the spear to the person behind him, took the other one, waved his hand and said: "Chase, chase, we hit it." He took the lead and chased forward.
Lorraine also handed the long spear to Vera, drew out the short spear and followed.
The Forbidden Soldiers on both sides quickly surrounded him.
Lorraine and Leo rushed out of the woods. There was a slope in front of them, and there were traces of wild boar collisions along the way.
Lorraine was surprised to find that the wild boar had fallen to the ground, and blood gushed out from the wild boar's body, soaking the ground below.
One foot was stepping on the wild boar, and the owner of this foot was pulling out a big sword from the wild boar's body.
Leo sighed and looked at Lorraine.
Opposite Lorraine and Leo, a group of people were surrounding the wild boar. They were wearing messy clothes and holding crude weapons in their hands. This group of people were also startled by the sudden appearance of Lorraine and Leo.
