Due to the unscrupulous invasion of the Orcs this time, Lord Lorraine threw away his picks and formed an eco-destruction tour group. He took his two-flower, red-stick and other capable young men to fight against the enemy.
Their hero copy is gone.
Lorraine has gone to do the main mission, but the government affairs of Naian Province still need to be handled by someone. This matter naturally belongs to Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine.
At this time, on the eastern front of the empire, after the Parthians had harvested the crops in the fields, they found that there was nothing to do in the winter, and they also began to engage in some entertainment activities, like an invasion, an invasion.
Okay, let's do an invasion or something like that.
Firstly, you can enrich your entertainment life, and secondly, you can create a visual focus and deal with your big boss backstage: Your Majesty, I am not idle. I am always doing my duty and helping you grab things back.
Third... By the way, this is also the most important. In a war, the cost of military supplies and supplies exceeds tens of millions. We can also create a clever name in the middle. Some of the stolen goods are greedy, and some of the laws are wasted.
, collect some money, and prosper the feudal market economy.
Faced with the Parthians' imminent move, the Grand Duke did not dare to be careless and concentrated all his energy to deal with it seriously. As a result, the burden of government affairs in the eastern province also fell on the shoulders of this young girl.
Therefore, Catherine has recently been made miserable by the chaotic government work.
At this time, after the commander of the Jinyi Military Command Division handed an urgent news report about the man in black to Catherine, Catherine was very impatient.
As a noble from the first family of the Ruman Empire, she had some aversion to engaging in spy politics. When she saw the report, she wanted to throw it into the stove nearby, but then she remembered Lorraine's explanation before leaving.
, I had no choice but to throw down the pen in my hand angrily. Put other things aside and prioritize this document.
She hurriedly browsed through it, and couldn't help but rub her smooth forehead in distress, and then said to the commander of the Jin Yiwei next to her: "Captain Beren, you said that the suspicious person didn't do anything, didn't see anyone, just every day
Locking yourself in the house, or wandering on the street? This...is this also called suspicious? "
Beren nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Miss, this is the most suspicious thing.
Lord Lorraine has always taught us that if something is abnormal, it is a monster~!
We can't be sure when or how this person came to Nidel City. This person is neither a businessman, nor a servant of a nobleman, nor a nobleman. But any outsider who comes to Nidel City always has his own identity.
For this purpose, no one would go without contact with others for an entire month.”
Catherine frowned, then rubbed her eyebrows and said, "What does this mean?"
Beren said patiently: "This shows that he may have the means to avoid our surveillance and contact others. If a person does this, he is always doing some shameful things. So I would like to ask the eldest lady, what should I do?
To arrest him, we still need to continue to monitor him."
Catherine didn't know much about the actions behind the sun, and Lorraine had always deliberately prevented the girls from touching these dark things.
All in all, Catherine said in a daze: "Can't your venture capital company decide these things yourself?"
Belen shrugged and said: "The Governor has been paying attention to this person. If there is any progress in the matter, we will report it directly to you."
Catherine sighed and thought to herself: How much mess has this bad guy Lorraine thrown at me?
Because of her limited knowledge, Catherine hesitated, and finally asked Belen humbly: "Captain Belen, how can I follow your opinion?"
Beren looked at her with admiration. This was one of the reasons why everyone admired this girl. As the eldest princess of the empire and the powerful governor of the Eastern Province, she had always been a polite and virtuous corporal. She would not understand
Pretend to understand, let alone follow the so-called first law of the office that is universally applicable: 'The bigger the official, the more he knows.'
He took a deep breath and then said cautiously: "Miss, Mr. Lorraine once said that the principle of intelligence work is 'I would rather catch a thousand by mistake than let one go'.
If the other party is not a bad person, the big deal is that after catching him, he will release him..."
When he said this, he saw a flash of ridicule in Catherine's beautiful eyes. He couldn't help but pause for a moment. He knew in his heart that the ice-snow and smart girl understood their tricks very well. In other words, Jin Yiwei would never catch the wrong person.
, even if you catch it wrongly, you will still find a way to make it right.
Belen blushed and coughed slightly unnaturally, and then continued: "But if the other party is a bad guy, he is a meticulous person. Once we let him go, we will probably miss a big link."
Fish, even a great harm to our career."
Catherine tilted her head and thought carefully for a while, then sighed and said, "Well, without further ado, just go ahead and do it."
"Yes, Miss." Belen bent down and said, "Please also ask Miss to sign a warrant for me to act freely, so as to avoid any misunderstandings with the local guards."
Catherine shook her head and sighed: "Lorraine still signs such an order, what mysterious things do you usually do?"
Belen tilted his head and smiled slightly, and said: "Our purpose is to safeguard the good situation of stability and unity in Nai'an Province, hold high the banner of maintaining stability, safeguarding the feudal legal system, and safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people of the empire, and resolutely fight against everything that harms the people of Nai'an.
, fight against behaviors that undermine people’s happy life, and ensure the sound and rapid economic and social development of Nai’an.”
As soon as Catherine heard this, she knew that this was another official word spoken by Lorraine. She couldn't help but smile, took out a piece of white paper, wrote the warrant, stamped it with the governor's seal, and handed it to Belen.
Belen nodded to Catherine, turned around and walked out of the office, quickly returned to the headquarters of the venture capital company, changed into the clothes of a high-ranking officer in the guard, and hurried away with a few people.
Within a quarter of an hour, Belen and the others rushed to a guard station in the city. After a while, Belen went out to patrol the streets with three or five of his men like a normal guard officer.
A few of them behaved like the guards officers and soldiers who were called "mangy dogs" by the common people. They took advantage of the situation along the way.
A few people staggered into a small restaurant on the roadside.
When Belen entered the door, he shouted arrogantly: "I'm treating you today, brothers can eat whatever you want."
The men slapped the table and shouted: "Boss, serve the wine, serve the meat, hurry up, hurry up, or your store will be demolished."
When the customers in the store saw them making a noise, they seemed too angry but dared not speak.
A guard soldier next to Belen said cautiously: "Captain, I have work in the afternoon, so drinking is not a good idea."
Another man raised his neck and shouted: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Beren smiled and said nothing, feeling quite satisfied with his men's performance.
The target they were targeting was currently sitting in a corner of the restaurant, slowly eating his lunch with just two plates.
Apart from glancing at the person when he entered, Beren and the others never looked at that person again.
Pilianke was in the tavern opposite, chatting animatedly with several dockworkers around him, holding up large oak wine glasses and clinking glasses.
Belen waved his hand, pointed directly at the two men who had been arguing, and said: "Go back and call all the brothers who are not on duty. If we eat alone here, we will be scolded by others."
"Okay," the subordinate agreed and hurried out.
Soon, a large group of soldiers and junior officers from the guardhouse rushed in, making noisy noises as soon as they entered.
Captain Mange, the commander of the No. 56 Intelligence Station, came in with a lot of his men and shouted: "We have a treat today. Everyone can eat and drink as they like. Boss, where is the boss?"
"Here we come, here we come." The shop owner hurriedly ran over from behind, nodded and bowed and said, "This is Captain Mange, what are your orders?"
Mange waved his hand carelessly and said: "Today there are so many of us eating with you, please give us a 30% discount."
"Okay, I guarantee your satisfaction." The shop owner agreed hastily.
The hotel was crowded with officers and soldiers from the guard station. A few soldiers walked arrogantly to the man in black who had been eating with his head down. He knocked on the table impatiently and said: "You, move that table and squeeze with them.
Here we use it.”
The man in black raised his head and looked at the soldiers with disgust, snorted, pushed the plate, stood up, and wanted to leave.
"Hey, I said this guy is quite bold." The guard soldier said in a grunt, then put his shoulder on his shoulder, grabbed the man in black, and said: "Don't leave, otherwise others will see us and complain about us."
You're being bullied. Our guard station is to protect the people, not to oppress them. Here you go, take it away!"
The soldier took out two silver coins from his pocket and threw them at the man in black. The man in black shook the soldier's hand away, then sidestepped and the silver coins fell to the ground with a thumping sound.
The soldier was furious, grabbed the man in black by the arm, and shouted ferociously: "Why, you are so shameless, pick it up for me."
Several soldiers clenched their fists and surrounded the man in black from all sides.
The man in black looked at the distance from the door, then with a cold look in his eyes, he glared at the soldiers in front of him and said: "I've seen you scoundrels displeased. You are the bastards who bully the weak and fear the strong."
"What?" The guard soldier rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Beat him."
Then everyone waved their fists and rushed towards the man in black.
The man in black smiled contemptuously, ducked and quickly dodged a punch in front of him, and stretched out his hand to hit the soldier in the stomach. The attack was so swift and sharp that none of the soldiers in the guardhouse could react, and the soldier on the opposite side hit his wine glass.
The soldier screamed and fell backward.
The man in black took the opportunity to step out and rush towards the door.
Just as the man in black was about to rush out of the door, a leg kicked out from the side with a "whooshing" sound.
The man in black hurriedly lowered his waist, raised his arms in front of him, and kicked him on the arm. The strong force came, and the man in black couldn't help but retreat. He couldn't control it until he hit the table.
His figure knocked over the table with a clang and rolled to the ground.
The man in black quickly got up, took out the dagger from his boot, and looked at the guard soldiers blocking the door with horror on his face.
The guard soldier pulled up the brim of his hat again, covering his face, and remained motionless facing the man in black.
The man in black looked ferocious, with a sinister light in his eyes, and said loudly: "Who are you? There is no one with such skill in the guardhouse."
The man in black's face froze, and he suddenly said: "You are from me."
The soldiers from the Human Guard on the opposite side didn't say anything, waved their hands to signal the other soldiers to move away, and walked towards the man in black step by step.
The man in black gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pierced his chest with the dagger.
He just raised his arm, but before he could put it down, he heard a sound of "um" coming from behind, and he received a heavy blow on the back of his head. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
Captain Mange threw the table leg in his hand, clapped his hands, pouted at the man in black on the ground, and said: "Where does this lunacy come from?"
Captain Mange waved his hand impatiently and said to the people around him: "Tug it away, drag it away, and throw this eyesore to the garbage dump.
Today is a treat for the adults of the corps. I have spoiled your mood and asked you all to go out for a drink."
Two soldiers came over, picked up the man in black, and dragged him out from behind. There was a carriage waiting here.
Pilianke pushed open the door of the carriage, and the two soldiers threw the man in black into the carriage and turned away without saying a word.
Pilianke pulled out a bundle of rope from under the seat and smiled obscenely at the man in black.
Lorraine's current job is like playing whack-a-mole.
The gophers kept popping up, and Lorraine had to hit them on the head with a hammer. If he hit them, he would get one point. If he missed the hit, he would lose one point.
The orcs' troops are these gophers. Faced with the letters for help that come like snowflakes, Lorraine must first distinguish between those that are urgent and those that can be postponed, how many troops need to be sent, and where the backup needs to be deployed.
.
If he could block the orcs' invading troops and chop them into pieces like he was chopping melons and vegetables, Lorraine would have gained a point, and the strength of the orcs would have been weakened a bit.
If they were not blocked and allowed to escape, or even worse, they robbed a few careless towns and killed dozens of Naian people, but still escaped, Lorraine would have lost a point.
Another account was written on the orc's head.
Although Lorraine is under great pressure and his three legions have been struggling, judging from the current situation, several key cities are basically safe, and the orcs have no intention of gathering large forces to fight Lorraine.
.
In fact, what Lorraine is most worried about is not that the orcs are playing guerrilla warfare with him like this, but that the orcs are really engaging in large-scale decisive battles.
If the remaining 100,000 orcs were to be divided into two groups, the left and right, and launch a pincer-shaped offensive, then Lorraine would only have hemp claws. It would lose the ability to protect soldiers and chariots. It would abandon a large number of small and medium-sized cities and try to protect a few large cities.
However, the natural hatred of the orcs destined them to have no such opportunity, and they could only fight on their own and make their own plans.
Lorraine had already asked for reinforcements from Ruman City and neighboring provinces, and requested at least ten legions of reinforcements from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
But I don’t know why, it may be because the situation in Lorraine is not critical yet.
In the routine military report sent to the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lorraine described the current battle situation in detail. So far, no major town in Nai'an has fallen.
The Ministry of Military Affairs may have believed that Lorraine's troops could still cope with the current situation, so it just issued a vague order asking neighboring provinces to send troops to support Nai An as soon as possible, without even specifying the time limit and scale of sending troops.
After all, the current focus of the Ministry of Military Affairs is the Northern Expedition of Delenn. Prime Minister Russell asked the Marquis of Maleton to launch another large-scale attack before the harsh winter arrives. To this end, the Ministry of Military Affairs is in front of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister on the stage every day.
Lorraine had no choice but to sigh: The landlord's family had no surplus food, and at the same time, he flexibly used the troops at hand to mend holes everywhere.
After the defeat of Vechin and Torek, the area west of Croni City entered a period of calm, and there were no large-scale orc coalition activities here.
The Naian army only deployed a small number of reconnaissance troops here, galloping back and forth in the countryside to guard against orc raids.
In the distance, the late autumn wind stirred up the sand on the withered yellow ground, easily pulling up a wide line of dust, floating in the air, never falling for a long time, and the fascinated people could not open their eyes.
A group of cavalrymen trotted along the road in boredom.
At this time, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the dust in the distance.
The cavalry captain was startled, tightened his reins hurriedly, and shouted loudly: "Who is in front of you~!"
Behind him, those battle-hardened soldiers quickly drew their sabers or raised their crossbows.
At this time, the wind and sand rolled by, and the generous bodies of several orcs were revealed from the smoke.
They were flapping their clothes and spitting out the sand in their mouths.
The captain raised his saber and was about to lead his men to charge forward, when he heard the orcs on the opposite side shouting in skilled Ruman language: "Don't shoot the arrows, don't shoot the arrows, we are our own."
Several orcs driving two carts slowly approached the cavalry.
The current one looked at the human cavalry as if he were seeing a relative, and said excitedly: "Finally we meet one of our own. Brothers? We are Aquitaine, part of the task force."
"Stop, stop, stand there and don't come over." The cavalry captain shouted repeatedly. He looked at the other party who didn't seem to be hostile at all, and said doubtfully: "Say what you just said again."
A sharp voice suddenly shouted: "What are you wasting your time here?"
The cavalrymen saw a child push the door of the carriage and jump out.
When he landed, everyone could see clearly what kind of kid he was here and there. He was clearly an old guy with a short stature.
One of the cavalrymen shouted in panic: "What are you?"
The little man opposite jumped up with anger, waved his fist and shouted: "Damn~! Have you never seen such a handsome goblin?"
