In that imperial era that was full of dreams and called "glorious", it was filled with great names one after another.
Their glorious deeds have been constantly praised by later generations, especially the two greatest names among them. But at the same time, they were also deeply hated by the history students.
Because when everyone learned about the medieval history of the empire, things like gods and demons in the early days were too mysterious. Everyone regarded them as epic myths, and no one took them seriously. And as long as you go to church, you can pay a penny.
You can listen to those priests and magicians say eight paragraphs.
But the section on the prosperity and glory of the empire is definitely the focus.
For example, the historical process of the slave liberation war led by Lord Lorraine. The historical significance of the great changes in which the half-orc race was integrated into the empire and became an inseparable member of the imperial family of nations...etc.
He wrote a long paper that could have turned Einstein into a lunatic, but it was completely compulsory. Points will be deducted for every wrong word.
In addition, there are also compulsory examination contents required by a joint document issued by the three ministries and commissions of the empire.
What, you ask me which three? You don’t know this, do you usually go online? Remember, they are the Propaganda Department, the Culture Department, and the Education Department. If your family has a lot of money, you can afford Maple Leaf Pill at your own expense.
Lin, I have nothing to say. If you want to take the exam by yourself, then you must memorize it.
Like His Majesty Leo, the Holy Lord, who created the golden age of the empire. Needless to say, this is like what is sung every day in the national anthem of the empire, the light is as bright as the sky, etc. Basically, just write it down while singing it.
But it is Lance, Lord Lorraine, who needs to pay attention.
That is a big difficulty. Why is it difficult? Because his title is too long.
An outstanding representative of the aristocracy of feudal society, a great politician, military strategist, diplomat, entrepreneur, educator, inventor, scientific and technological worker, writer, wet man... Lord Lorraine, his life was a glorious one,
It is a life of fighting.
If nothing else, just count. One, two, three...seven families and two titles. If one is missing, points will be deducted.
But there are also some smart students who have a trick.
Although you can’t remember so many of this family and that family, during the exam, you just write down a few at random, as long as you write wet person on the last one. Sometimes the marking teacher may be dazzled and think that you are
Write it all, and give full marks with one stroke of the pen.
In addition, the great deeds of Emperor Leo the Great and Lord Lorraine must also be memorized.
After this indoctrination, even if you don't die, you are half crazy. It is a common phenomenon to make you vomit after reading it. Who will seriously study the things here.
However, there was also a person who had his head caught in a door. A historian who likes to be more serious studied the historical materials carefully and discovered that Lord Lorraine was actually not a good bird. He created a monopoly group and attacked commercial freedom. The salt industry is still a royal company.
Monopoly operation.
In addition, they also treat ethnic minorities cruelly, especially orcs. What a simple and honest group of people!
In order to plunder the land, he slaughtered millions of fellow orcs in a few years. He also practiced dark and terrifying spy politics...
As a result, that afternoon, a man in black wearing a black windbreaker, a wide-brimmed hat, and black sunglasses knocked on his door and invited him to a secret department for coffee.
No matter what happens hundreds of years later, the fact is that in the eyes of everyone who has worked with Lorraine, Master Lorraine can often predict the enemy's opportunities every time he goes out to fight, amidst the messy intelligence, or even when there is no intelligence.
Next, you can accurately designate the enemy's location and troop strength, thereby taking the initiative in the war. And the most amazing thing, the most depressing thing for everyone, is that you have never made a mistake.
Lord Lorraine's talent has always been called a magical skill. No matter how talented a staff officer is, he has been studying with Lorraine for several years, but he still can't figure out how Lord Lorraine analyzes and judges the enemy's situation.
Everyone found that Mr. Lorraine usually only needs to sleep for one night. When he gets up the next day, he already has a plan in mind. He can mark the enemy's position on the sand table in just a few clicks, and even knows the enemy's military appearance and movements clearly.
And all the hostile elements of the Ruman Empire, those evil axis powers, were extremely nervous when they heard that they were going to fight Lord Lorraine, and then tried their best to shirk it. In the words of those incompetent bad elements: they knew it before the war started.
The color of my underwear is different from his.
Privately, everyone has various speculations about this. One theory is that our Lord Lorraine is actually a prophet with higher abilities than the Pope and the Great Prophet Galba. The Great Prophecy has reached the ninth level. If you go one step further, you will be able to reach the full level.
Can be promoted to the status of god.
As long as you use this power every morning, you can know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in the future. Of course, you can easily defeat this kind of small war.
The most people hold this view, and everyone can find a lot of evidence to prove that Lord Lorraine can predict things in advance, whether on the battlefield or in life, and thus turn danger into disaster and usher in one brilliant victory after another.
So much.
Another way to say it is that our Lord Lorraine actually knows the magic of fugue. His soul can leave his body at night. As long as he goes out for a circle, he can see everything. He can also sneak into the enemy's headquarters and steal their battle plans. Naturally, it is impossible.
It's going to be bad.
There is another thing that can only be said secretly behind closed doors, and that is our Lord Lorraine. In fact, he sold his soul to Pluto a long time ago. Pluto asked Lord Lorraine to keep winning the battle. In fact, he wanted to kill people to obtain souls and give them to Pluto.
for.
But what is very strange is that most of the people who hold this view are actually people from the Holy See. Both the Empire and the Holy See label these people as saboteurs with evil intentions. They actually want to destroy the relationship between Lord Lorraine and the Holy See, especially with Hilme.
The close relationship between Mother Lea and His Majesty the Pope.
However, only the maid could see Mrs. Vera huddled on Lord Lorraine's bed, holding a heavy package and complaining about "another tired night."
South of the border, a group of hundreds of human cavalry were waving their sabers and galloping, chasing a small group of orc cavalry in front of them.
The rumble of horses' hooves shook the grassland, and the horses' hooves kicked up dust on the dry grassland, flying high into the sky.
Dozens of orcs were also mixed in with the human team, wearing standard cavalry armor, raising the swords in their hands, and roaring with ferocious faces.
They are all half-orcs who were absorbed by Lorraine.
After they entered the Naian army, Lorraine quickly fulfilled his original promise. While looking for someone to teach them the Ruman language, he also directly distributed equipment and allowed the orcs to participate in daily training.
Those all-metal cavalry armors, as well as a complete set of high-quality all-steel weapons such as spears, long swords, and daggers, shocked the eyes of these country bumpkins who only had maces.
In the first few days, these orcs were reluctant to take off their armor when sleeping. They kept giggling when they fell asleep. When they woke up, they showed off their weapons all over the camp. They all held their weapons and refused to let go, for fear that humans would come back.
Take all these things back.
This set of weapons is really not a big deal in the eyes of humans. Many soldiers think these things are not good enough and spend their own money to get better ones. But for the orcs, this set of things is better than theirs on the grassland.
Human life is valuable, but I have never dreamed of such a good thing.
Moreover, the half-orcs were surprised to find that being a soldier was paid, and they paid a lot every month, enough to support a wife and three or five children.
It's a pity that Lorraine didn't discover this until after the war. She couldn't help but regret it greatly. If I had known what kind of war I would have fought, I would have posted a recruitment notice on the front line and written down that food, food and shelter would be provided, guns and money, three gold and five dollars.
It's dangerous, these half-orcs who are so poor that they only have one pair of underpants are forced to apply for jobs like college graduates. Don't look at the enemy's 100,000 troops, maybe half of them will come over on the first day.
When Lorraine leads a counterattack on the grassland, these orcs who have surrendered to the Ruman Empire can set an example as powerful as a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli on the battlefield.
Often without waiting for the war to begin, these half-orcs in full attire would walk around in front of the tribes on the grassland and yell, "Brothers from across the way, come over. Our boss will give you guns, money, land, and women. If you behave well, you will be given doubles."
share."
Especially after being surrounded by superior human forces, the orc team usually boasts all of a sudden.
Orcs only have a tribal concept, but no racial concept, let alone a national concept. The only Dulci who had such an idea were later exterminated.
Being a soldier with someone is not a soldier, and selling one's life to someone is not selling one's life, not to mention that the price paid by humans is still high.
However, just as those who participated in the revolution before the National Day in 1949 could retire, and those who participated in the revolution after the National Day could only retire, according to the time when Lorraine launched the winter counterattack, the orcs who served the empire, whether they joined the army or the government,
The treatment is also very different.
Those who joined the Ruman Empire army before the counterattack were also divided into four major categories and twelve sub-categories: those who voluntarily surrendered in the early stage of the war, those who were forced to resettle, those who deserted secretly during the war and surrendered openly, those who voluntarily rebelled after the war, etc.
, each is treated differently.
When the Imperial Military Department promotes Naian Orc officers, they often regard this delivery time as the most important reference. The earlier the time, the more opportunities there will be.
Orcs in different periods formed their own factions, and they also fought with each other. Those who voluntarily surrendered, such as the Aquitaine, looked down on those who were captured or rebelled, saying that their motives were impure and they were opportunists who got into the warm imperial family.
elements.
In the following issues, I couldn't stand the appearance of the first group, saying that they just had an extra month of military rations. Why are they pulling? If the clan leader hadn't stopped me, I would have joined the team a long time ago. When it comes to contributing to the battlefield, it's not like that.
We are the biggest.
The orc officers represented by Aquitaine commented on this: There is no wall on the border and no locks on the city gate, so what are you busy with?
However, these orcs also joined together to despise the counterattack and only joined after the big counterattack. Those guys also have the least human rights and can only endure the qualifications honestly.
In fact, what these guys didn't expect was that these policies were formulated by Lorraine. The purpose was to create artificial conflicts among them, so that these orc officers could not unite and fight among themselves. After all, the orcs'
The population base is not small.
The number of orcs who joined the Naian Legion was quite large, with nearly three thousand people. The Naian Legion even underwent a rapid expansion for this purpose.
They were born and grew up in the grasslands, and are the most familiar with this land.
Among the reconnaissance troops that went deep into the grasslands, these half-orcs performed very well. Although they still spoke the Ruman language awkwardly, they not only fought bravely, but were also very good at detecting enemy traces and finding water sources.
These orcs are also extremely obedient and have strong obedience capabilities. They do whatever the officers say, whether they are forwards or night sentries, they never complain. The officers like them.
Even though the grassland is now withered and yellow, these orcs can take out rabbits, porcupines, pythons and other game when they see small holes and small eyes, which will also improve everyone's life.
In particular, they are familiar with the living habits and fighting methods of the orcs, and can often catch the small orc troops that come to investigate.
It can be seen from this that the power of Erwuzi cannot be underestimated.
Although the horses native to the prairie have good endurance, their speed is not high and cannot match the improved military horses raised by humans.
Chases like this usually take time. When the orcs' horses can no longer run, they will naturally stop obediently. But this time, the orcs were as fierce as if they had taken aphrodisiacs, urging their horses desperately.
Running south, their speed slowed down after all.
A big man with a stubble on his face stood up on the horse, tightened his feet on the horse's belly, picked up the hard crossbow in his hand, and shot at the orcs.
Others followed suit and fired arrows one after another.
Under the random arrows, several orcs running in front fell off their horses. These orcs dispersed with a roar and ran away separately.
The big man yelled: "Stop them and catch a few alive."
The cavalry on the flank suddenly stopped, jumped off their sweaty horses, jumped on the spare horses, shook their reins, and accelerated to outflank them.
Lorraine had read a lot of history books in his previous life, and he knew that in this kind of prairie, the fastest runner is the best fighter, so he equipped each cavalry with three horses. Although it cost a lot of money, our Lorraine
Uncle Lin also knows what can be saved and what cannot be saved.
After a classic Pegasus battle, the Naian cavalry ran for dozens of miles and finally captured this small group of orcs.
The cavalrymen held long spears and swept these orcs off their horses in a few strokes. The people behind them swarmed up and tied them up tightly.
As for those who were seriously injured, they just went up to add a sword and completely solved the problem.
The big man was obviously their captain. He jumped off his horse and angrily kicked the tied orcs several times and cursed: "Damn, let you run, let you run. I'm exhausted from your exhaustion."
Seeing the cold human weapons pointing directly at them, these orcs shouted to themselves and stared at the human soldiers with ferocious faces.
The orcs of the Naian Legion squatted in front of them, grabbed them by the collar and asked them loudly, and punched them a few times from time to time. These orcs soon became bruised and swollen.
After some questioning, the captured orcs became more and more arrogant, and the faces of the orcs from the Naian Legion became ugly.
He yelled that something was wrong and asked loudly: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."
The orcs of the Naian Legion were stunned for a moment and stammered: "The coalition forces, just...their large army is here."
The big man hurriedly shouted: "How far away from us?"
"Less than, less than fifty miles." The orc soldier said nervously.
"Head, look." A soldier standing on a horse pointed to the south and shouted loudly.
The big man got on his horse, stood upright as much as possible, put up a tent with his hands and looked around.
I saw a low and wide line of yellow smoke appearing under the southern horizon. This wide line was visible throughout the field of vision.
The big man said to himself: "To raise such a large amount of dust, even if it is spread out, there must be tens of thousands of people."
The cavalrymen became restless and said in surprise: "Ten thousand people?"
The prisoners on the ground became arrogant, ignorant of current affairs, and even dared to laugh.
The orc soldiers of the Naian Legion clenched their weapons and said nervously: "He said that this time there were more than 200,000 of them."
The big man said decisively: "They are finally here. Okay, our mission is completed, tie these people to horses and we will retreat."
The soldiers roared loudly, turned their horses' heads, and bolted toward the north.
When Lorraine's convoy entered the city of Croni, they found that it had turned into a large military camp.
Incomparable to the peaceful scene in Nedel, the walls of Croni are now covered with flags, and soldiers are densely guarding the walls, holding strong bows and crossbows, swords and guns unsheathed, and armor on their bodies.
A long queue has formed in front of the checkpoint outside the city gate. A tall horse has been set up outside. More than a hundred soldiers are guarding the inside and outside of the city gate.
The convoys transporting food and other supplies have priority and are currently passing through the gate and heading into the city. The convoys outside the city are still lined up along the avenue for several miles. The cavalry is flying back and forth among the convoys with flags.
As an important town in the south and the location of the frontline headquarters, Croni City is also a logistics center for hoarding supplies.
The officers took the lead to lead the way. Lorraine and the others slipped through the gap in the convoy and passed through the city gate. They found that unlike the tense situation outside the city, the city of Croni was actually much calmer.
There are still pedestrians coming and going on the road, the shops on both sides are still open as usual, and the shouts of the pushcart vendors are still so loud.
It's just that the shopkeepers complained about the traffic jam, searched, and couldn't get the goods in. After a few shouts, they finally stocked up a lot of things. I don't know how long this battle will last.
Lorraine rushed to the headquarters in the center of Colony City. General Larry greeted Lorraine at the door with bloodshot eyes.
There were soldiers coming and going at the gate, and their horses lined up in a long line on the street.
At this time, there was a burst of dust, followed by a burst of chaotic human voices. A cavalryman covered in dust rushed out from the crowd. The cavalryman shouted in a hoarse voice: "Get out of the way, emergency military situation, get out of the way."
There was another commotion on the street, and passers-by hurriedly gave way to the orderlies.
The knight reined in his horse in front of the gate, rolled down with his arms around the horse's neck, and then ran over in a panic. Seeing a group of people blocking the door, the knight immediately recognized General Larry, ran to him in two steps, and untied his horse.
He put on his backpack, pulled out the iron box, and said, "Sir, frontline military report."
General Larry looked at the orderly soldier whose face was covered with black mud from sweat. He took the iron box and said, "You have worked hard, go down and rest." Then he opened the iron box and took out the military report inside and handed it to him.
Lorraine.
Lorraine quickly unfolded it, with scrawled words on it: Most of the enemy troops are approaching the border, estimated to number between 100 and 120,000 people.
Lorraine took a breath and said, "The war has begun."
