Chapter four hundred and twelve white clothes like snow
Chapter 412: White as snow
Lorraine curled her lips, looked at Vera who was downcast and looked like "I was wrong again", patted her shoulder comfortingly, and said: "Okay, just come back. I've asked the kitchen to prepare several delicious dishes
Yes, let’s go down. By the way, is everything okay at home?”
Vera was also simple-minded. When she heard that there was delicious food, she immediately became energetic. She stretched out her white and tender hands and rubbed her eyes nonchalantly. Then she broke into a smile and said with a smile: "Everyone is very kind."
Okay, and everyone asked me to bring the letter."
Vera said, taking out a thick stack of envelopes from her chest.
Lorraine snatched it away, then pulled Vera and trotted back to her bedroom.
Lorraine sat down in front of the desk, flipping through the letters in her hands one after another. When she saw that everyone, including Lorena and Melina, had written letters to herself, her heart suddenly felt warm.
Vera took a breath, grabbed the water glass and took a sip. Then she held the snacks she had prepared in her hand and threw them into her mouth one by one, chewing them until they made no sound.
Lorraine turned over Adele's envelope and suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. Lorraine held the envelope up to her nose and smelled it carefully, thinking: Isn't this Adele's body fragrance!
Thinking of Adele's charming appearance like a vixen who brought disaster to the country and the people, Lorraine felt her chest heat up and her heart became fascinated.
After being stunned for a moment, Lorraine licked the corners of her mouth, then sighed and suppressed the fire in her heart.
Yesterday Adeline teased Lorraine hard, and today she encountered such a sweet and thoughtful letter from Adele. Lorraine felt that she had been out for too long.
Vera was chewing something in her mouth, looking at Lorraine holding the envelope and giggling, she asked curiously: "Master, this is what Sister Daier told me to hide close to my body. Is there anything in it?"
Lorraine waved her hand and said, "If you don't understand the child, don't ask."
"Che" Vera glared at Lorraine with contempt and said, "Mom said, children can't look at those messy things. If they look at them too much, they will get needle holes."
Lorraine turned angrily at the innocent girl, then opened Adele's letter with a happy smirk on her face. She was very happy to read it at first, but suddenly her face changed, she slapped the table and jumped up, shouting loudly:
: "The orcs are going to attack Nidel!"
Vera nodded her head and said, "Yes, I met them on the road, but Nicole said that they can handle this little thing."
Lorraine frowned and quickly read the letter in her hand, then opened the letters from Catherine and others and read them carefully.
After reading all the letters from everyone, Lorraine sorted out the envelopes on the table, held her eyebrows with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have indeed underestimated the enemy."
Lorraine's heart is now tightly entangled. The letters from Catherine and Adele described in detail the confession of the traitor and the news brought back by Vera. They also explained their plans to Lorraine and reassured Lorraine.
To ensure safety, concentrate all your efforts on dealing with the orcs in front of you.
Although they said it was easy, how could Lorraine be relieved?
He knew very well that because of this war, almost all the troops that could be mobilized in the province had been brought here by him. There were not many troops in Nidel City now, and although the orcs wanted to sneak attack on the unprepared Nidel,
City, but on the other hand, they can be considered as going deep alone, with ten or twenty thousand people inserting themselves into the central essence of Nai'an.
If the orcs dare to be so bold, they must have something to rely on. Whether it is those internal agents, or they are deceiving the city of Nedel because there are no soldiers, since they dare to go, there must be a reason why they are not afraid of being surrounded by the Naian people.
Lorraine now wants to let Vera take her back to Nedel City. Although it is entirely possible to do so, Lorraine also knows that the main force of the orcs is still here, and of course her responsibility is still here.
Only by leading a large army and staying here can he stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the frenzied invasion of the orcs.
Although there is extreme disunity among the orcs, at times like this, since the orcs have used such a trick to attack Huanglong, Lorraine was immediately put in a passive position.
Those orcs opposite Lorraine will definitely make trouble and drag Lorraine and the others here.
If Lorraine was really impulsive and sent troops to come back for reinforcements, then he would have really fallen into the opponent's plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of, and completely falling into a strategically passive situation.
What's more, from the mouth of the goblin Sha Jin, Lorraine knew that the scorpion king Vachin and Torek had promised the orcs that they would conquer human cities and share everything with them.
It can be expected that the border, which has always been a place of back and forth and petty quarrels, will soon boil over again.
His women were all in Nedel City and were about to experience the dangers of war, but he could only watch helplessly in the south, fighting with eighty or ninety thousand orcs on the opposite side.
Not only that, there is also Leo in the city.
That little gangster can't say that he eats, drinks, whores, and gambles, and does a lot of bad things. But he is also known as "white as snow, coming and going like the wind." He beats chickens and chases dogs all day long, and does a lot of bad things.
For example, the Zhang family touched a chicken, the Li family stole a dog, went to the Wang family, and spanked their children. They were also very bastards. Then Catherine found out and spanked them severely.
In this way, Leo lived a golden childhood of doing evil and being carefree.
But even so, he is the hope for the future of the Ruman Empire. The stability, unity, and long-term stability of the Ruman Empire in the coming decades all depend on Leo.
If this little brat who only knows how to make money and play all day has the slightest accident, not to mention the brothers Emperor Julunde and Archduke Julius, they could eat him alive.
Even the old coffin warriors from the Senate could rush in front of him and drown him with spittle.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel a headache again when she thought of this.
He clasped his forehead lightly with his knuckles. After a long time, he sighed and said to himself: "I underestimated the enemy. I should have thought of it a long time ago."
After the Dulci people fled from the battlefield, Lorraine ignored them and did not let Vera track the whereabouts of the Dulci people.
On the one hand, Lorraine thought it was not necessary, so they could just run away. There were still 100,000 orcs on the frontal battlefield constantly attacking the border line of Naian, and Vera had to keep an eye on them.
On the other hand, who knows what weird things there are on the prairie, Lorraine is not willing to let Vera go out to take risks, and Vera has a naturally stupid and road-crazy personality, Lorraine is really worried about letting her enter the grassland.
But he didn't expect that the half-orcs who, in Lorraine's opinion, were hurt by his own blows and were about to run away, lived up to their name of scorpions, turned around in a circle, and tried to stab him in the back.
When Lorraine thought of this, he could only sigh helplessly. In the final analysis, he still had too few troops. Only with the support of the two legions given by Archduke Julian, could he carry out sneak attacks against the orcs.
The troops would attack each other, otherwise Lorraine would have to defend the city, and the orcs might have fled to the edge of the Beni River.
Lorraine has asked Ruman City and surrounding provinces for help countless times, but Ruman City does not pay much attention to the war in Lorraine. Except for the Grand Duke Julius, everyone else is looking for an excuse to delay.
Lorraine could only curse bitterly: "A bunch of guys who are desperate to save themselves. Vera, did you just say you met an orc on the road?"
Vera nodded quickly, then raised her little head proudly and patted her plump and towering chest, which immediately caused a wave of waves.
She turned up her cute little nose, put on a arrogant look, and said: "Not only did I bump into them, I also beat them up and broke many of their boats."
After saying that, Vera "hummed" and raised her head again, and then kept glancing at Lorraine from the corner of her big eyes, as if "please come and praise me".
Lorraine pulled Vera and pressed her into a chair. She also poured Vera a cup of hot tea diligently, placed it in front of Vera, and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Okay," Vera said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you to ask this for a long time."
At that moment, Vera explained in detail how she had ravaged the orc fleet.
Vera became more and more excited as she spoke, focusing on how she responded to Lorraine's call to "go up if there were difficulties, and if there were no difficulties, and if they made them difficult", she made up her mind to take risks for the sake of the security of the empire and the lives of the people.
At the risk of revealing his identity, he went to find trouble with the orcs.
How he was not afraid of sacrifice, overcame all difficulties, and launched a battle of wits and courage with the necromancer. He withstood the danger and destroyed most of the orc fleet. In the end, the necromancer was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood and fainted with a loud scream.
Lorraine couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Isn't this the plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that she gave them to them when she was fine? She didn't expect that Vera would learn and use it.
He stared at Vera and saw her watery blue eyes moving around like a little thief. He couldn't help but sigh. This dead girl finally learned the lesson~!
Then Lorraine hit Vera on the forehead. Vera groaned and held her head, stared at Lorraine angrily and said, "Master, what are you doing?"
Lorraine also glared at Vera and said, "To be honest, how much did you damage them?"
Vera tilted her head, pouting at Lao Gao, and ignored Lorraine.
Lorraine shrugged and said, "I originally wanted to give you a reward, so forget it."
Then, Lorraine made a move to stand up.
Vera hurriedly grabbed Lorraine, and when she raised her head again, she had put on a smiling face, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, I really dealt with half of them. It's not what you said, Art
Does it come from life? People are just a little bit artistic."
As Vera spoke, she took Lorraine's arm and rubbed it against her chest. She kept acting coquettishly and said, "Master, don't be so stingy..."
Lorraine quickly softened and quickly pulled her arm away from Vera's hand. It was so big, soft, and very elastic. If she rubbed it any longer, she would get a nosebleed.
Lorraine calmed down and then asked: "Is there a very powerful necromancer on the enemy's ship?"
Vera nodded hurriedly.
Lorraine rubbed her chin and said: "I will remind Nicole and the others. You did a good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Vera said seriously: "Master, since humans discovered gold, there seems to be only one answer to this question."
Lorraine muttered, "I knew it," and then said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Vera. Master, I will give you a bonus of 10,000 gold coins."
"Ah..." Vera jumped up from the chair, hugged Lorraine, screamed and jumped, not caring that her turbulent waves kept squeezing Lorraine, and then screamed on Lorraine's face.
After a kiss, he said: "Master, you are so good to me. How about I go hit them again tomorrow night?"
Then Vera discovered that Lorraine had a nosebleed. Vera jumped away from Lorraine, hurriedly found some white paper from the table and handed it to Lorraine, and asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Lorraine held her head high, blocked her nose, and said angrily: "It's nothing, it's nothing, the weather has been dry recently, I'm getting angry, I'm getting angry."
Vera and Lorraine had the same mind. Of course, Lorraine's dirty thoughts couldn't be hidden from Vera. Vera's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she kicked Lorraine's calf with her little leather booted feet, making her angry.
Said: "Don't think about these things, I will get a needle eye."
After Lorraine was kicked several times, she could only escape from the house with a grin on her face, leaving Vera alone with a blushing face, her heart beating for a while, and then she yawned and went to sleep.
Lorraine convened a meeting with General Larry and several other regiment commanders overnight. The war was urgent, and these generals were all sleeping in their clothes. After Lorraine came to see them, they quickly rushed to the conference room.
When Lorraine explained the current situation, the three generals also changed their expressions. General Larry slammed the table, cursed, and then sighed: "I was careless."
General Firdolis shook his head and said: "No wonder the orcs have become more honest recently. I thought they had no strength. It turned out that they were waiting for an opportunity."
General Claudius pondered for a moment and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, with all due respect, we cannot mess up our position at this moment. We need to consider the long term."
Lorraine said "hmm" and said, "I know that I will not return support until the frontal enemy is eliminated. Her Royal Highness the Princess also agrees with this view and specifically warned that there will be no problems in Nadel City."
The three generals all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the young governor would get mad and run back to Nidel City with more than 10,000 soldiers to kill his girlfriend, falling into the trap of the orcs to encircle them for reinforcements.
.
Lorraine thought for a while and said seriously: "I have something to tell you, but this matter must be kept secret. In fact, I am not worried that the orcs can capture Nidel, because I have a way to protect and annihilate Nidel.
The half-orc, Nicole... Oh, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already started to implement this plan, that is..."
After a moment, General Larry slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "It's doable, it's absolutely doable."
General Claudius and Firdolis looked at Lorraine as if they wanted to see a monster, but soon realized that this was very disrespectful.
Firdolis said: "Your Excellency is wise. In this way, we can calmly deal with the orcs in front of us."
General Claudius twisted his thick eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "We can even take advantage of this to pretend to retreat in a hurry and lead the enemy in. Just like His Highness the Grand Duke did when he invaded Amor and Hadou.
, using Constantine as bait, killed hundreds of thousands of elite Parthians."
Lorraine smiled and nodded. This is what he had been thinking about just now. Didn't the Orcs catch him off guard? Okay, I'll pretend to be caught off guard, let the Orcs think I can get something cheap, and then set up an ambush.
The beating hurt them.
The orcs didn't know that although Lorraine was impatient, she still trusted her women.
General Larry asked: "What should we do next? Please make it clear."
"Wait," Lorraine said decisively, "wait for the Orcs' move. If I didn't have the best means, then the news of Nadel's siege would spread to the front line, and we would be in chaos. The Orcs would definitely make big moves.
Come and contain us, we'll wait for them to take action."
General Larry nodded and said: "Yes, sir. However, sir, when the news of the siege of Nidel City reaches the front line, I'm afraid that the people below will not be able to sit still. Their wives, children, and children are all in Nidel City. This will shake the morale of the military."
.”
Lorraine frowned and said, "I know, I can only do my best to appease him then."
General Claudius rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, it is not impossible. Since your lord and eldest lady can keep the city of Nadel, we might as well put down the words and say that the Grand Duke is confident and wants to repeat the Battle of Constantine thirteen years ago.
, the officers and soldiers below will naturally understand."
Lorraine said: "General Claudius said it well, we don't need to go out and say it, just let the word out. The name of Grand Duke Julius is well-known."
There is another meaning that is not mentioned. Lorraine's cheap father-in-law has a temper that does not suffer at all. The orcs dared to surround his daughter and son. According to this old butcher's temper, the grassland will be completely deserted.
The area cannot be separated.
The other three generals naturally understood what Lorraine said and nodded without saying a word.
Lorraine pulled out a map at this time, spread it out in front of everyone, tapped the map and said: "It's a few hundred miles from here to Nedel. If we pretend to retreat, we can definitely bring out the orcs. Let's discuss it now.
It's a suitable battlefield for an ambush."
General Larry said: "It won't work if it's too far away. Nidel City is not safe. It won't work if it's too close. The orcs won't take action."
Lorraine and the three generals discussed until dawn. After initially determining the framework of a plan, they split up and started executing it.
In the next two days, as expected, the orcs made strange movements.
The orc tribes that had been walking along the border and had been playing hide-and-seek with the Naian army began to gather towards the side of Croni City.
During this period, the orcs stopped all infiltration activities and only sent a large number of troops to circle in front of the city of Croni every day. Lorraine naturally knew that these orcs were observing the movements in the city of Croni.
Lorraine ignored them and allowed them to form a group and travel south of Cloni City.
Lorraine is taking these last few days to constantly adjust the army, ordering the army to recharge its batteries, sending people to carefully survey the terrain, and formulate detailed battle plans.
Both behemoths believed that victory would belong to them, and they were polishing their claws and preparing to give the other a fatal blow.
