Lorraine walked straight to the gate of the Guards House.
The guard on duty at the gate saw him wearing the uniform of a Guards officer and didn't pay attention at first, when Lorraine came back from outside.
Considering that the garrison has tens of thousands of troops and thousands of officers, and people are transferred in and out from time to time, it is quite normal to see a few new faces.
When Lorraine arrived, the guard on duty was a little strange, "There are many captain-level officers in the guard station, but they are so young, and I have never heard of them."
Several guards looked at each other in surprise, and then stared at Lorraine who walked in.
Lorraine came to the gate of the camp and asked the soldiers on duty: "I'm here to report. Who should I go to first?"
Several soldiers looked at Lorraine up and down, but without answering Lorraine's words, they turned around and ran back.
However, Lorraine was a little confused and froze at the door.
Soon, an officer followed the soldier and came over. He came to the opposite side of Lorraine. Like the soldier just now, he looked Lorraine up and down first. Standing in front of him was a young man in his early twenties.
The officer was very surprised at the moment.
You must know that the army is synonymous with conservatism. During non-war periods, seniority is the rule in the army. It is extremely rare for such a young person to climb up the ranks in the army and become a captain.
Especially for such a pretty boy who wants to join the Imperial Guard. This is really hard to believe.
It's not that there aren't such young mid-level and high-level officers, there are some, but they are all big nobles like princes and lords, and they are all well-known public figures in Akadelin.
The officer looked at Lorraine very strangely.
He immediately took Lorraine's check-in order, looked over and over again, and barely saw a flower on it. Then he asked Lorraine a few questions very carefully, like where he came from and where he was staying.
When did he come to the imperial city, and a bunch of trivial questions.
The people next to the envoy even thought that he was interrogating a thief. He was too rude to a fellow officer. Maybe the person opposite would think that he was deliberately making things difficult. When angry, he would throw his white gloves and start a duel with him.
.
But to their disappointment, Lorraine remained calm and answered them one by one indifferently, without any sign of impatience.
This couldn't help but make everyone who was waiting to watch the fun feel very disappointed, and even looked down on Lorraine: To be an officer, he is such a softie. It seems that this pretty boy must have no ability. The official position of captain may be
What kind of nepotism did this happen?
At this time, the officer had confirmed that Lorraine was indeed here to report. Although he felt strange, he went in with Lorraine's letter to prove it.
When Lorraine was standing by the door, she heard the officer walking away, muttering dissatisfied with the pride unique to a soldier: "The Guards have really become a hodgepodge, and everyone is adding sand into it. This kind of white-faced officer
You actually want to go inside, what's going on..."
Lorraine looked at his back and couldn't help but sneered, thinking to herself: Today is my first day of duty, I don't want to be angry with your grandson and ruin my good mood.
But your grandson, how dare you call me uncle and my pretty boy? I remember you, my grandson. How dare a junior lieutenant and squad leader say this, Damn, don’t look at uncle, I’m here to lurk, I’ll look back after I take office
, I must give you a good meal~! Let you clean the toilet for at least a month.
Not long after, the man came out again and looked at Lorraine with surprise and unwillingness. His expression was even more surprised than before, as if he had seen a monster. Finally, he reluctantly saluted a military salute and said: "Captain Lei Luo, sir.
Please. Please come with me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had moved expressions on their faces.
These guards officers and soldiers have lived in the imperial city for a long time. Although they are not as good as the paparazzi of later generations, their sense of smell is also extremely sensitive and their political awareness is quite high. They will know the high-level government affairs meeting in the morning at noon.
’s clear as day.
In a highly hierarchical and hierarchical organization like the military government, great attention is paid to hierarchical differences. Superiors have almost absolute command authority over subordinates.
The word "please" is not something you can say casually.
Especially when a superior talks to a subordinate, using this word, even the superior wants to invite you as a subordinate, it means that the superior attaches great importance to this person.
Everyone couldn't help but admire the pretty boy in front of them. Although he was still a pretty boy, he was a pretty boy with a lot of background.
When Lorraine stepped through the door, everyone immediately put their legs together and saluted him energetically. Compared with the lazy salute when Lorraine just came over, the look was much cleaner. It was like a different person.
.
Lorraine didn't care, but waved her hand casually and said: "Take a break, take a break..."
Then he walked in.
Everyone looked at his back and gathered together to speculate: Who is this young man? He is already a captain at a young age, which is already eye-catching. Now he is actually a captain.
He even asked the commander to say the word "please". I heard he was transferred from Caribbean Port. What is this guy's background?
After listening to the discussion, the officer sneered and said: "Commander? You still underestimated, it's the admiral. The admiral was there when I went to report, and it was the admiral who said it himself.
Somehow, his old man is here today. I heard that man come over, asked a few questions, and then said it himself. Damn it, I won’t be able to see the admiral twice in a year."
Although his words were full of sourness, everyone was shocked when they heard it. Grandma, he actually asked the Admiral to say the invitation personally. How big must the pretty boy’s backstage be? He must be at least on the same level as the Admiral.
A big shot, right?
At the moment, everyone was speculating whether the young man was the illegitimate son of a certain big shot, or a brother-in-law or someone with a strong background and powerful background.
Young ladies from important families in the Imperial City can be recognized by the Royal Guards. After all, they all lived in Arkadelin. The Royal Guards had a lot of contact with the powerful, but they didn't expect that they suddenly appeared from the Caribbean.
Such a number one person.
Lorraine didn't know that his identity had caused trouble among the ruffians of the Imperial Guard. But he didn't care if he knew it. He walked forward under the leadership of a guard.
The open space behind the gate of the guardhouse is a vast playground. Thousands of soldiers are lined up in neat formations and are undergoing daily drills. The dark crowd can't see the side at all. All they can see is the sunlight reflecting off the swords, and the atmosphere is gloomy.
Along the way, Lorraine saw all the soldiers who were energetic, strong-armed, and high-spirited.
And no matter what he was doing, the slogans he shouted were loud enough to shake the mountains and the earth.
Lorraine looked at their appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart. Although these people were red-faced, energetic, looked very brave, and acted very neatly. But somehow, they always gave themselves a very strange feeling.
Feeling. It feels like these people are only energetic on the surface, but there is a faint feeling of fatigue and uneasiness between their brows, as if they are cheating.
As a veteran who has fought in several wars, Lorraine also has a lot of experience. Although he couldn't see the problem at a glance, he felt that they did have a problem.
When he saw this, he couldn't help but touch his chin and chuckled. It seemed that this place was getting more and more interesting.
Under the leadership of the guard, Lorraine walked around the playground, and after walking for a while, a wide hall appeared in front of it. Countless officers were already standing in front of the hall, all of them in military uniforms, standing solemnly, and they looked like they were there.
A murderous spirit.
In front of the hall, wild geese's wings are lined up on both sides, and countless large banners are planted.
The breeze blows and the hunting flutters, and the momentum is amazing.
Although those big flags just stood there, they gave people a sense of brutality and bloodshed, the kind of murderous aura that can only be seen in a battle array. Those are not colorful flags for decoration, they are real military flags.
Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wondering why there were so many military flags.
He took a closer look and realized that many of those flags were broken and damaged, soaked in gunpowder smoke and blood.
After many years, although the imprints on those flags are no longer so obvious, the fear of death is still there, and the bloody murderous aura is still coming.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel moved. He immediately walked over and took a closer look. Next to the flag, there was a written stone tablet with silent annotations.
I saw it read: The 1st Division of the Royal Guards, the 11th division commander Marquis Garcia, died in the battle at Maple Leaf Danlin City, the 1st Division of the Royal Guards covered the retreat of the entire army, the division was seven thousand four
All one hundred people died for their country.
The fifth division of the Royal Guards, the ninth division commander, the Dark Lord of Caroscia, died in the Black Valley. The fifth division of the Royal Guards held on to the Black Valley for three months, repelling six times the number of divisions.
The enemy attacked seventy-three times, killing 6,570 soldiers.
The seventh division of the Royal Guards, the twelfth division commander, Lord Pasaros died in battle at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and all the soldiers of the division died for their country...
There are two long rows of military flags and stone tablets like this.
The bloody and glorious battles were inscribed on the cold stone tablet, and Lorraine couldn't help but be shaken.
Every battle above was arduous and famous during the Holy War a thousand years ago, and has detailed introductions.
Due to the source of the information, the above section mostly introduces the specific situation on the human side, and there is very little specific introduction on the Semitic side.
Lorraine knew that in these famous battles, humans also suffered heavy casualties. After the two sides fought hard, they desperately poured troops into this flesh and blood mill. In the end, it became a tug-of-war, and more than a dozen legions were wiped out.
Tens of thousands of people died on the battlefield.
It seems now that they also suffered heavy losses in that war.
You know, even the division commander was killed, which means that the entire division has been completely wiped out.
Each of these names is a bloody and tragic story.
What is listed here is only the casualties of the Praetorian Guards. As the reserve force for each battle, even the Praetorian Guards were completely wiped out. It is conceivable that other legions should also have suffered complete casualties.
This is because the demons have the advantage of technological weapons.
In the hall, a middle-aged officer saw from a distance that Lorraine did not come over, but stood there and looked at the flags carefully. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to call someone.
But next to him, an old man with gray beard and hair, about fifty years old, wearing a black general's uniform with red edges, had a strange look in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to stop him.
The middle-aged officer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The old man saw his confusion, but he smiled faintly, then picked up the tea cup next to him, took a gentle blow, and then said: "Toles, originally I was just curious and came over to take a look. I thought this
This guy is just a pretty boy who begs for help, but he actually worked hard for my granddaughter to ask for it in person. My old man wants to see how far he can go. But now..."
When he said this, he remained silent, and a strange color appeared on his face, as if he remembered something.
The middle-aged officer waited for a moment, then couldn't hold himself any longer and asked, "Admiral, what do you want to say?"
The old man glanced at him, then calmed down, and then said: "Now it seems that he may not be that simple after all."
The middle-aged officer was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
The admiral sighed softly and said: "When I first entered the Guards camp, the first thing I saw was a man standing in front of those big flags, looking at the words on them carefully. His expression was...
Same as him.
At that time, that man was also about twenty years old. Soon after, he showed his extraordinary military talent. Whether it was counterinsurgency or crusade against foreigners, he would win every battle. Therefore, he was greatly appreciated.
At the age of ten, he had already become the commander-in-chief of a party with a large number of troops..."
The middle-aged officer was very surprised at the moment and thought to himself: Is there such a military genius among the Semitic people? A thirty-year-old commander? Why has he never heard of it?
Thors hesitated for a moment and said in a dignified tone: "Sir, that person is..."
The admiral smiled, and then sighed and said: "Acatrinius, Acatrinius..."
The admiral raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said slowly: "The most outstanding soldier of our generation."
Thors was startled for a moment and lost his voice: "Then...that peerless rebel who led his troops to mutiny and rebelled against the High Priest of the Undead? Sir, he..."
The admiral glanced at him displeased, and then corrected him seriously: "That is a general with great military talent, a real soldier, and a rebel... Huh~! Don't forget, you are a Semitic~!"
After talking about it, he snorted heavily, and a cold light flashed in his originally cloudy old eyes.
The light was so sharp that even though it was still late summer and the weather was hot, Thors felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
A large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes. Yes..."
Although this rude and straightforward soldier responded with his mouth, he was very strange in his heart: Semites? What happened to Semites? He is a rebel high priest? Aren't we and the high priest one family?
At the same time, Thors suddenly thought of some ridiculous messages, and the most terrifying thoughts vaguely rose deep in his heart, but then he shook his head and threw those thoughts out of his mind.
The admiral looked at his appearance and couldn't help but hate him for not arguing. He sighed and said: "Toles, if you weren't so stupid and used your brain so much when things happened, you wouldn't have done anything to take over from me now."
It’s so troublesome. What kind of confrontational military exercises should be conducted between your four master regiments..."
Thors couldn't help but grinned, smiled bitterly, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord is talking about..."
The admiral looked at his submissive look and felt very displeased, but he didn't say much. He just said: "You must worry about this confrontation military exercise. As the commander-in-chief, you can't just
Relying on the bravery of blood and spirit, leading the charge, and more importantly, sitting in command, dispatching troops and generals..."
He chattered for a long time, but saw that Thors still had a nonchalant look on his face and kept nodding his head. At that moment, he knew that this guy didn't listen, so he couldn't help but sigh again.
He thought for a while, but felt that he was not interested at all. He immediately stood up and shouted outside: "Come here, prepare your horses!"
At that moment, someone agreed, turned around and walked away.
Thors looked at it and couldn't help being surprised and said: "What? Are you going to leave right now?"
The admiral gave him a cold look and said, "Why don't I leave? You may be thinking that Duoba wanted me to leave early, right?"
He raised the whip in his hand, pointed towards the school field, and said: "Don't think that I can't see anything because I'm old and my eyesight is blurred. Are these tricks you pulled useful?
Don't even open your eyes to see if those brats are just barking vigorously, how many of them actually put in any effort?
Those big soldiers have been practicing assassination all morning on the playground, but they just screamed at the top of their lungs without even changing their assassination movements. What is needed on the battlefield is real skills~!"
Thors couldn't help but be startled. He looked back, and sure enough, on the school field in front, the soldiers were still doing the action of raising their guns and stabbing.
Although the officer next to him shouted loudly, he kept secretly glancing this way. His mind was not on training at all.
He couldn't help but feel angry, and cursed in his heart: These bastards, I asked them to shout louder, practice seriously, and deceive the admiral. But these bastards actually want to deceive even me. None of them are serious about doing their best."
But at this time, they could only laugh twice and force themselves to defend themselves: "Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect, I specially asked them to practice it several times, haha, hahahaha..."
At this time, a guard had already brought the war horse over. Although the admiral was old, he was also very agile. He did not need anyone to support him at that moment. He recognized the stirrup and pulled the saddle, and easily jumped on the war horse.
He took off the reins of his war horse, then turned around, pointed at Thors's chest with his riding crop, and said: "From now on, keep your mind on the right track and don't do these fake things. Do you understand?"
?
The best thing about you is that you are loyal and honest, and you cannot do this trick. If you lose even this last advantage, you will only end up here in your life."
As he said that, he swung his riding crop and tapped the tie on Thors's shoulder. Then without waiting for a reply, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and roared "Drive~!".
Immediately, the war horse spread its hooves and galloped towards the entrance of the camp.
The nearby Ma Bian guards saw this, and immediately jumped on their horses and rode away, raising smoke and dust all over the place.
Thors was choked by the smoke and couldn't help coughing, and ate ashes from his nose.
He stretched out his hand and hurried several times, and saw that the admiral had already rushed out of the door. He calmed down and then ordered: "Tell that pretty-faced captain to come over quickly. Your Excellency didn't say anything, but I have to address him seriously."
His weight~!"
After talking about it, the flesh on his face was piling up and he smiled fiercely.
The officers next to them were all arrogant, and they were all upset when they heard that such a young man had climbed up to be on an equal footing with them.
Not to mention, after hearing this, the admiral specially added the word "please". The jealous blood pressure of the soldiers and gangsters skyrocketed. Their eyes were about to bleed.
After hearing the commander's words, they all became energetic and agreed eagerly, then geared up and got ready.
Everyone made up their mind to give the young ruffian a slap in the face and let him know that this Guards Army is not their little place in the countryside. No matter who they meet in the future, they must be polite and honest.
of.

Lorraine was looking at the military flags when she suddenly heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats not far away. When she turned around, she saw an old man in a general's uniform passing by on horseback. He quickly stepped aside.
When the two of them crossed paths, they glanced at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes. The admiral was surprised when he saw Lorraine's calmness. He felt vaguely that something was not right in his heart. But for a moment,
But I can't remember it.
After galloping for a long time, he finally remembered that the man's eyes were bright and clear, calm and steady, and he was not in a hurry when he saw him. Although he was just standing there, his momentum was like that of a commander in charge of a party.
Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, extraordinary bearing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. You must know that even if you look at the entire Semitic tribe, few people can match this kind of momentum.
I was about to turn around and go back, but then I started laughing again. How could that be possible? How could a young lieutenant who was as big as sesame seeds and mung beans have such a temperament? He must have been too tired recently, so he was a little dazzled.
Already...
Lorraine was also very surprised when he saw the curiosity in the admiral's eyes. He looked at the other person's retreating shadow and thought to himself: Why would an old man be curious about himself? What does he know? How does he know about himself?
?
He didn't know that although his official identity document was done so perfectly that most people wouldn't be able to find any flaws, and on the surface, it seemed that he had been promoted step by step through a normal path of promotion.
But those girls were too enthusiastic and did some unfavorable things.
Now the big guys all know that there is such a young and promising young officer with extraordinary abilities. He is already a captain at a young age.
While they were chatting, they accidentally mentioned this person, and everyone seemed to have heard about it.
Speaking of which, Captain Lei Luo?
That person seems nice?
Why is it good?
How do I know this? Anyway, when I went to the home of the Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs, he asked about it once and asked how the young man was doing.
Think about it, someone who is well known to the president, how can that be any different? So although I don’t know much about it, of course it was just a nice thing to say. After the president heard this, he was very happy at the moment. He even said it
Several of them are pretty good. Their old faces smile like a flower.
Yes, yes, the deputy eldest brother seems to have said it once.
…
As a result, Captain Lei Luo's name naturally spread throughout the imperial city's social circles of military and political dignitaries. Those big shots knew his name like a thunderbolt.
But no one can say a word about how good it is or what it looks like. They just know that it is good, very good, very good.
Anyway, now that everyone has said yes, I have to follow suit.
But they promised to focus on taking care of them, but it also aroused the jealousy of the lower-level officers. You must know that the higher you climb, the harder it is to climb. There are only a few places for promotions every year, and you have occupied another one.
Where should we all put it?
Now, they finally found an opportunity to make things difficult for that hateful pretty boy.
