Uncle Lorraine was always nonchalant about such official activities. On the surface, he looked solemn and devoted, but in fact, his mind had already wandered to nowhere.
But the officials below only saw that our governor was very dedicated, so naturally they did not dare to be scornful and competed with the priests opposite to see who could smile brighter.
Ever since Archbishop Hilmeria of Naian set foot on the land of Nedel, whether it was ordinary people whose souls of gossip were blazing, or the governor's subordinates who took it as their duty to study Shangguan's thoughts, they began to dig deeply into our governor's family that day.
The past of this person and Miss Hilmeria in Maple Leaf Danlin.
Although Miss Lorena, who arrived at the same time, also has a distinguished status, she is a magician. In the eyes of ordinary people, these magicians are perverse, moody, and all of them act mysteriously. Maybe they are related to the devil.
Besides, who of us hasn’t been threatened by our parents with words like “if you don’t obey again, the magician will turn you into a toad (frog or lizard) and throw you into a pot to stew” when you were young?
left a shadow.
Even His Royal Highness Leo, the heir to the throne of the Ruman Empire, was threatened by Catherine like this. He has been worried about dealing with mages since he was a child.
Otherwise, the little ruffian Leo had learned from Lorraine the kingly domineering attitude - "Everything you have is mine, and what's mine is still mine", he even hesitated for a long time, even five minutes, to buy Lester a kettle.
It wasn't until he got mixed up with the magicians in Maple Leaf Danlin that the little ruffian Leo realized that magicians couldn't turn into toads. Then he became arrogant and spent the whole day beating dogs and chasing chickens in Maple Leaf Danlin Academy.
Help the mafia members to be proud of the campus.
However, we have always entrusted the hope and love of countless people, which represents the empire's extremely glorious future and the future of continuous victory. The brave, fearless, smart and wise His Highness Leo has a profound understanding from Lorraine's tragic experience. Although the mage is not
It turns out to be a toad, but it actually likes electric people, especially medium-rare ones.
Moreover, when the mages use their ultimate moves, especially Sister Vera, as a teammate, it is best to hide further than the enemy.
It can be seen from this that everyone is hostile to those magicians who close their doors all day long and make strange things like fire, wind, bat wings, lizard noses, eye droppings of three-month-old babies, tears of old virgins, etc.
We are all afraid from the bottom of our hearts.
Except for the tax officer Gretan, who was responsible for his duties and went to visit the young lady under the banner of Lorena's father's subordinates, others knew that Lorena's father was the undersecretary of the Imperial Finance Department and one of the handful at the top of the pyramid.
Although he is a big shot, no one dares to disturb Miss Lorena's practice and come to her to gain some knowledge.
Especially after I heard that Miss Luo Linna is in Maple Leaf Danlin and likes to play with our governor when she has nothing to do...??!!!
The Naian people have deeply realized what a ruthless character Lorraine is, but just like this... After the gossips all had a cold war, they automatically filtered Lorraine, and everyone just regarded her as
A hidden boss that can only be opened when you have invincible items.
But Hilmeria is different. According to the information, our young and outrageous cardinal was serious, fair, upright and selfless when he was in Maple Leaf Danlin. He has been doing arduous battles with bad elements.
fought and achieved great victory.
Our archbishop formed a deep friendship with the two doge's wives during the battle. Not only do we share the same affection for the sisters, but Bishop Hilmeria spends more time living in the doge's palace than in the temple. As for being side by side
Fight or fight each other, everyone who talks about this is vague.
Anyway, Bishop Hilmeria has a good relationship with our governor’s wife. A good relationship with the governor’s wife means a good relationship with our governor. Officials striving for advancement have secretly made up their minds. It seems that they will have to go to the temple more in the future.
, when was the last time you went to the temple? Oh, by the way, when the new priest girl came to the temple last time.
Of course, there are some people who are so bold that they secretly pursue the idea of a beautiful archbishop, thinking that if they climb this high branch, they will become famous. Although priests and priests cannot get married, everyone knows what is going on in the temple, "Illegitimate Child Kindergarten"
The title does not come for nothing.
Those who thought that Hilmeliya’s classmate was not acquainted with the charm and could chase after her by sending flowers and flirting, in the end, none of them could escape the attention of the venture capital company. Those who tried to pry Lorraine’s corner, Lorraine all asked them to pry the mountain.
Went.
Lorraine was absent-minded, and some officials were playing tricks on themselves, but the people of Nedel who attended the ceremony all had simple and pious beliefs. They only saw Hilmeria's holy posture, which really looked like a self-god.
Like the angels descending from the world, they couldn't help but shout long live and devoted themselves to this celebration without emotion.
Faith, in this era, is an important part of the lives of all intelligent beings and the spiritual sustenance of all people.
Even Catherine, who hates the Holy See, and Vera, who is a dragon, are no exception. The half-orc Galba shaman gnashes his teeth every time he mentions that the Dulci people pushed the statue of the ancestor.
Lorraine, however, doesn't take these things seriously because she comes from another world. So what about gods? Vera's father is one. It's not like she's never seen him before, but she's a little afraid of his wife.
So what about the devil? Lord Lorraine even forcefully kissed a witch in a daze.
Judging from the other party's jerky reaction, it was probably their first kiss, but she was just like a little girl who doesn't understand the charm.
These gods and demons should be just like they were thousands of years ago, they are just intelligent beings standing at the pinnacle of power.
Lorraine has always believed that those magicians who chant slogans about God the Father all day long are just professional liars. They are simply competing for their jobs. Do they look down upon each other?
Lorraine raised his head and looked into the crowd, and soon found Belen squatting on the second floor of a hotel. When he saw Lorraine looking over here, he raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to Lorraine that everything was complete, and the entire square was here.
under their surveillance.
Hundreds of Guards soldiers put on light armor and civilian clothes, mixed in with the crowd, and were responsible for maintaining law and order. Whenever someone caused trouble, they would immediately rush up to them, knock them unconscious with sticks, and then send them to a shelter with food and shelter.
Go to Auschwitz Model Labor Factory.
At this moment, a loud horn sound was heard, and the priests below finished reciting a long sacred scripture and finally retreated.
Just when Lorraine thought it was almost over, several more young female priests lined up and walked to the center of the square to see a beautiful woman appear on the stage. The atmosphere became even more lively, and the people in the square roared.
Lorraine lamented silently, then turned to see Hilmeria looking solemnly at the square in front of her. Lorraine stretched out her feet under the table to explore Hilmeria's feet, and then rubbed her calves ambiguously.
Hilmeria's face looked strange for a moment, then returned to her dignified appearance in an instant. She just turned her head and glanced at Lorraine helplessly, and crossed her legs under the table to avoid Lorraine's harassment.
Lorraine was bored, so of course she would not let go of interesting things. Especially Hilmeria's expression of joy and helplessness, wanting to hide but not being able to hide, was really attractive to Lorraine.
Lorraine and Hilmeria continued to make small movements under the table. Suddenly Adele on the other side coughed heavily. Lorraine quickly calmed down and sat upright.
Boducci from the Praetorian Guard was running up from the side of the rostrum.
Lorraine felt so dangerous. She had been having so much fun just now that she didn't notice anyone approaching and almost betrayed her. Lorraine gave Adele a toothy smile and patted Adele's tender little hand.
Adele glanced at Lorraine, then sneered, stepped hard on Lorraine's feet with her high-heeled shoes as sharp as a war spear, and then turned hard without saying a word.
Lorraine's smile froze in an instant, and she cursed the person who invented high heels in her heart. This is a fashion, but it is clearly a murder weapon~!
Boducci approached Lorraine and happened to see the Governor holding Adele's little hand and looking at the Governor's second wife with love.
Bodoch couldn't help but sigh in his heart, look at what our governor has done, this is how he is called a man. Except for the two children, the rest of the circle are all beauties. Go to hell with those guys who are jealous of adults and make them afraid of their wives.
Bodoch quickly came behind Lorraine, bent down and said: "Sir, there is an urgent military report from the southern front."
The voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the three people on the podium to hear.
Lorraine, Adele, and Hilmeria were all stunned.
Lorraine sighed: It's finally here.
Hilmeria solemnly said: "The war is urgent, Lorraine, go quickly."
Adele also patted Lorraine's hand and said: "For such a formal occasion, one of us must stay. I'm here to accompany Ximei. You go quickly."
Lorraine nodded, pushed away the chair and stood up, looked up to the opposite side, only to find that Belen was no longer there. Lorraine patted Adele on the shoulder, turned around and followed Boducci away from the podium.
Angus saw a guard saying something behind Lorraine, and Lorraine stood up and left the table. He immediately knew what must have happened, told the people next to him, and chased Lorraine.
"Three days ago in the early morning, a reconnaissance team composed of three cavalry brigades of the 10th Eastern Legion encountered enemy scouts more than 200 miles away from the border. There were five wolf cavalrymen and more than 50 cavalrymen, and eight and a half were captured.
The orcs were beheaded, and the rest were beheaded. After interrogation, it was learned that these scouts were all soldiers of the Dulci tribe. The strange thing is that most of the enemies have not yet advanced."
Lorraine held the battle report in her hand and sighed: "It's finally here. I waited until the flowers withered."
Angus hurried into Lorraine's office, sweating on his forehead. When he entered the door, he heard Lorraine say, and asked curiously: "What did your Excellency say?"
"No," Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Why didn't the enemy discover it until it was two hundred miles away? Didn't it mean that the investigation scope had been expanded to three hundred miles?"
Angus was stunned for a moment and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Sir, you have forgotten that our border has just been moved."
Lorraine slapped his forehead and said oh, and then he remembered that he and Leo were joking, moving the boundary marker a hundred miles south and bringing in all the orc tribes on the border. They were about to launch an attack. Sell that land.
Beren suddenly walked in at this time, smiled at Lorraine, and made a success gesture behind Angus.
Lorraine raised the battle report in her hand and said with a smile: "They are finally here."
Beren smiled proudly and said: "I've been waiting for them for a long time. Now let's see those clowns jump out."
Thick smoke billowed from the shore of Xingxing Lake. Among the huge camps that covered the earth to the horizon, a camp was burning blazingly.
Wooden fences were smashed to the ground, and messy footprints dug the fragments into the soil. Leather tents were pushed down and then set on fire, emitting black or white smoke and a pungent burnt smell.
The ground was piled with corpses in various rows, with blood still flowing out from the wounds made by swords. The dry and yellowing weeds were soaked with blood, and the blood even pooled in low-lying areas.
On the pile of corpses in the middle of the camp, there were several orcs standing upright. Some of them had broken arms, some had swords stuck in their chests, and some had bone-breaking wounds on their bodies. Most people have this kind of thing. The wounds were already dead, but these orc warriors were still standing upright, with dull eyes without any emotion.
All this shows that a fierce battle has just occurred here, a camp has been completely destroyed, and the orcs in the entire camp have been slaughtered.
Outside the camp, Orc warriors were heavily surrounding the place with weapons in hand. Nearly ten thousand warriors were silently looking at the slaughterhouse in the middle without saying a word. The atmosphere was solemn and strange. The strong wind blew the swaying flames, making a purring sound. sound.
These orc warriors seemed to be surrounding the camp, but they were clearly divided into two camps, separated by dozens of feet of space.
The slightly smaller number of Orc warriors all wore the same black leather armor, with black scorpions tattooed on their arms or cheeks.
Among the crowd, there were shamans holding a ghastly white bone scepter and wrapped in black clothes. Visible to the naked eye, black veil-like smoke was surrounding them.
On the other side, there were a larger number of orcs wearing all kinds of messy clothes, with different tattoos on their faces, clustered together, staring intently at the center of the ruined camp.
The orc warriors on both sides were vaguely hostile, looking at each other with malicious eyes, and turning their swords towards each other intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, a long and deep laughter sounded among the crowd of black-clothed orcs.
The half-orcs in black separated like a tide, leaving a passage in the middle.
Vechin and Torek, wearing gorgeous black armor, walked out of the crowd and stood at the front of their own soldiers.
A pair of all-metal armor is extremely valuable on the grassland. It can be exchanged for twice the weight of the armor in gold. Even some of the orc leaders in the encirclement circle with yellow faces and white tattoos only wear a simple Breastplate.
A clan leader on the other side roared angrily: "Scorpion King, give us an explanation why you massacred the people of the Chimedian tribe? What? Do you want to annex us?"
Next to him, another strong half-orc with a totem clan tattoo on his face picked up the long sword in his hand, pointed at Vechin and Torek, and said loudly: "Bah, he has been doing this for a long time.
He talks about rebuilding our empire, but all the people of the ancestor’s bloodline are dead, and it’s not because he wants to be the emperor, then there will be no way for us to survive.”
"Just give us an explanation, otherwise... we will have more people than you."
"..."
Vechin and Torek waved to the people behind them, and the black shaman chanted an obscure incantation in a hoarse voice. The upright orcs in the camp fell to the ground with a thud like a doll that had lost its support.
The orcs on the other side screamed in surprise.
Vechin and Torek sneered disdainfully, then raised their hands and said loudly: "I said, I have a dream.
I dream that we orcs will no longer suffer from hunger and cold.
Dreaming we have beef buns every day.
Dreaming that we can laugh as much as we want.
I dream that one day, the valleys will rise and the mountains will fall; the bumpy and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the Holy Light will be revealed and shine on the world.
For this great dream, we must conquer, conquer the land flowing with butter, so that we half-orcs can live a life no longer hungry and cold.
For this great dream, we must go on and on, shed blood and sacrifice..."
He paused, his voice turned cold, and he said sternly: "If you are unwilling to obey my command and you are afraid of death, then fine, I have no objection.
As long as you hold back the human soldiers and we, the Dulci, attack the human cities ourselves, I will still abide by the covenant and distribute the land and spoils to you, although the food, gold, women, and slaves are all for us, the Dulci.
In exchange for the lives of soldiers.
But for our great and heroic race of Orcs, for our children, and for the glory of God. We are willing."
The Dulci soldiers raised their weapons and roared angrily at the same time. Their roars even shattered the cold wind and penetrated into the sky.
The orc chiefs opposite were quite impressed. They didn't have to do their own work and could pick up things for nothing. Everyone was willing to do this.
They looked at each other, and one of the clan leaders said loudly: "We are not cowards. Since we dare to come here, it is for the sake of human land.
But Scorpion King, why did you kill the Chimedians? Give us an explanation, or we will go home. Orcs are not afraid of the swords from the opposite side, but they do not want to die under the dagger in the back."
"The Chimedians," Vechin and Torek said loudly: "They are afraid of humans and want to escape before the battle. They even want to attack us Dulci people and steal my women and treasures."
As soon as these words came out, the orcs on the opposite side looked at each other and started talking. Several clan leaders looked at each other and thought that we are idiots, but that woman of yours is really good, and it is worth snatching her away.
The orcs all gathered together. Chimedia was dissatisfied with the Durci people's desire for leadership and the arbitrariness of the Scorpion King, and everyone knew that they wanted to leave. If Chimedia did something before leaving,
Everyone can understand the vote.
Orcs have always been fighting among themselves. This is their nature. It would be strange not to do this. Everyone has thought about this idea.
I just didn't expect that the Dulci would attack so quickly and with such ruthlessness, killing all the Chimedians in one night.
