Chapter 972 Repeated defeats and repeated battles (seeking a monthly ticket)
It's early summer in June.
More than a month has passed since the peacekeeping troops landed in Almohad.
Originally, according to the plan..., they should have gone to the front line at this time. Go to the war and conflict areas in the south to maintain world peace and ensure the security of the regional situation.
However, due to the complex resources of the troops and the uneven quality, they are unable to attack at all now and can only run into the team through exercises.
This made the government officials up and down the Almohad very angry, and they all secretly cursed under their breath: These are just freeloaders~!
But no one dared to jump out and stab them in the face.
Everyone knows that the Holy See Army of Lao He was sent by Her Majesty Pope Hilmeria.
Her Majesty Pope Hilmeria is the spokesperson of the God of Light in the world. She has a noble character and a high position of authority... (omitting a thousand words here). In addition, she has the terrifying and terrifying institution of the Inquisition.
Especially after they launched a series of cooperation with the Naian CIA, they turned into a terrifying monster.
Even if everyone talks in their sleep at night, they have to worry about whether those brats will come and check their water meters.
Not to mention, His Majesty the Pope and Her Majesty the Queen are still relatives~!
From the political management classics, the most popular and classic theory is that "county officials are not as good as current managers." This level of relationship alone is enough to make all those who want to complain have to be shut up.
On the mouth.
Although Her Majesty Queen Isabella is anxious about the war on the front line, she also hopes that Laohe's troops can leave one day early and go to the front line for reinforcements. However, as the supreme leader of the empire, she has one of the most amazing advantages.
That is to let experts do what experts should do. Never point fingers...
foot.
The only thing she had to do was find the real experts and leave the matter to them.
In this regard, whether it is the bloody butcher Archduke Julius or the flying eagle Lord Lorraine, they are all experts who cannot be more expert~!
In terms of military affairs, no one can do better than them!
In contrast, when General Hadou received the news of the landing of Laohe troops, he initially attacked in all directions. However, seeing that Laohe troops were unmoved, he immediately reduced his troops and consolidated the defense line.
The pressure on the front line suddenly decreased a lot.
As time goes by, the hottest time of the year has arrived.
The latitude of Almohad is still relatively low, and the summer temperature is hotter than that of Ruman. This makes the Ruman people miserable, who have never experienced such weather. Many people are even unaccustomed to the climate and have fallen ill.
At the same time, they were also secretly glad. Unfortunately, it was just an exercise now. If there was a war, the hot climate, the non-combat attrition caused by the acclimatization and other conditions would be enough for them to drink happily.
Serve a pot.
Where is it like now, once they get sick, there are doctors, medicines, magicians and priests who can restore them to health in the shortest possible time.

Lorraine stood indoors, looking thoughtfully at the steaming air outside the window.
Although Hafs is a port city, there is still no dog on the street every noon. The tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Hafs Port seem to disappear out of thin air at this time, and they cannot be found.
their traces.
Until the weather cools down in the evening, these people who disappeared out of thin air will appear again out of thin air, crowding the commercial streets and taverns of Hafsport, drinking happily in the cool sea breeze of summer nights.
Through the glass window, Lorraine could see that the air outside was distorted by the sun, and there were even signs of vitrification. The scenery in the distance seemed to be swaying slightly.
It was quiet in the huge city. Everyone was avoiding the damn weather that could dry people out. Only the cicadas were shouting "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."
However, despite the hot temperature outside, Lord Luo's office was cool and pleasant because there were several large buckets filled with ice cubes placed around the office.
In this kind of weather, holding a glass of chilled wine in your hand and taking a leisurely sip from time to time is a wonderful life that even a god would not change.
Lorraine swung the wine glass and said with deep feeling: "Although this world is too backward and does not have air-conditioning or refrigerators, fortunately there are still mages."
For ordinary people, and even some nobles, storing a lot of ice is a troublesome and expensive matter.
First of all, you need to dig a deep and large ice cellar, collect ice in winter, store it, and use it in summer. Naturally, the quantity will not be too much.
In ancient times, it was only enjoyed by emperors and nobles.
But here, it’s just a matter of the wizards moving their staffs. And it’s all natural, pollution-free, made and used right now, and always fresh.
As a talented magical girl, Vera can release this simple spell dozens of times more powerful than an ordinary mage. Even a puddle as big as a swimming pool can be filled by Miss Vera standing next to her and stretching out her finger.
It turns water into ice cubes within a few minutes. The price is reasonable and it is very popular among nobles and royal families.
At this time, she was sitting at the table, putting the gold coins into neat piles and counting them. She nodded her head repeatedly and agreed: "Young master is absolutely right."
As he said this, his big eyes narrowed into crescent moons when he smiled. This money is really good to earn~!
By working part-time and selling ice cubes, Vera made a small fortune. At this moment, she was hoping that this summer would be hotter and longer, and it would be best to have hot summers all year round.
At the same time, I felt even more contempt for my compatriots on Long Island! "A bunch of idiots. Even if they set up a stall and sell ice cubes, they can earn more than going out to rob."
Lorraine's heart moved and she said: "Let's go to the beach.
Vera raised her head suspiciously, looked at Lorraine, and said, "Master, what is there to do on the beach?"
Lorraine thought of her happy days at the beach, and said with a fascinated expression: "We can swim in the sea, catch fish, and have a barbecue together in the evening."
"And a beautiful bikini..." But Lorraine could only say this to herself in her heart.
"Master," Vera opened her innocent and clear eyes, tilted her head and looked at Lorraine, and asked, "What is a bikini? Can it be eaten?"
"Uh." Lorraine was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he nodded affirmatively and said, "It can be eaten."
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious~!" Lorraine affirmed.
Vera tilted her head and blinked her bright eyes, thought about it seriously, swept all the gold coins on the table into her wallet, and cheered: "Then let's go to the beach~!"
This girl is crazy about money. She wants to see if she can freeze the sea and make a lot of money.
The group of people marched toward a beautiful holiday estate outside Hafs City. It was originally built by the local city lord, but when they heard that Lorraine wanted to use it, Queen Isabella enthusiastically lent it to Lorraine and the others.
The manor is five or six miles away from Harves Harbor. Lorraine and the others rode in a luxury carriage and arrived there in only ten minutes. Then Catherine and the others shyly put on cool swimsuits.
Of course, like the swimsuit in the previous life that only used a few pieces of cloth, Catherine and the others would definitely not wear it, but it was already seventy-nine similar to the swimsuits Lorraine was used to.
When they walked onto the beach, Lorraine's eyes were straight, her eyes were sinking into the tall and full breasts, and she could never pull them out.
Especially Vera, her chest trembled with every step she took, her face turned slightly red with embarrassment, and she looked innocent and ignorant.
Adele looked on with envy, and then she simply grabbed Vera and secretly grabbed a few handfuls, which made Vera's face red as if she was about to bleed.
The girls jumped into the sea with cheers. They had been suffocating in the headquarters every day for more than a month. It was so hot that they couldn't go anywhere. Finally, they had a chance to get out of the room.
Vera got into the water and was about to use magic, but everyone around her tried to persuade her.
Lorraine was lying on the couch, holding a glass of ice-cold freshly squeezed juice in her hand, and patted her belly comfortably.
On the other side, Hilmeria was taking her baby to learn to swim in the sea, and Catherine and the others gathered around to help.
Watching them playing and playing there, they would let out a series of silvery laughter from time to time, and then look at the blue sky, white clouds, sea, and beach. Lorraine sighed and murmured to herself: "This is called life."
It would be better if there were no annoying military affairs.
However, just when Lorraine was about to close her eyes and enjoy life, someone in the distance shouted at the top of her lungs: "My lord, my lord. The deputy commander-in-chief."
Lorraine curled her lips, stood up from the chair reluctantly, stepped on the fine and soft silver sand with her bare feet, and walked towards the door.
Several sweaty staff officers outside the door were blocked by the maids and were running around anxiously. When they saw Lorraine coming, they were all happy and said: "Sir, the latest military exercise report."
Lorraine couldn't help frowning and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say you would send it to the Grand Duke? Why did you come to me again?"
The staff officer showed an embarrassed look and explained naa-na: "Well, we don't want to come to you, but we can't find His Highness the Grand Duke."
Luo Linqi said: "Can't find him? How is it possible? When I left, wasn't he still there?"
The young staff officer looked embarrassed, spread his hands and said: "After you left, the Grand Duke suddenly had urgent business to deal with, so he went out."
Lorraine snorted coldly, curled her lips, and thought to herself: It's an urgent business, the old guy must have seen that Catherine was not around, and went to harass Queen Isabella again.
"Okay, I know," Lorraine took the battle report, flipped through it and walked back.
"Eh?" When Lorraine saw one of the documents, she was stunned for a moment. Then she flicked the report with her fingers, laughed, and walked back to the chair. Lorraine kept the other documents aside and carefully turned over this one.
The report was written by the staff officers assigned to supervise the Fourth Army. Just yesterday, the Fourth Army of the Holy See, an international joke in everyone's mouth, exceeded everyone's expectations and launched a sudden attack on the Blue Army on the opposite side.
.
It was so sudden that even the staff officers themselves did not react. They hurriedly followed after the Fourth Army Corps left the camp.
At the right time, the 22nd Legion on the opposite side was too careless and was not on guard at all. The legion commander even set up camp in a place that was conducive to attack, and was thinking about using a method that no one else had used before, to bully them severely.
The Fourth Holy See Legion.
Then, Archbishop Sandos led the Fourth Legion to kill them.
During the battle, Archbishop Sandos took the lead, rushing to the front of the team and taking the lead in fighting the blue army.
And the most admirable thing is that he knew that the formation of his troops was not good, so he immediately rushed forward and started a melee with the opponent.
The situation between the two sides in front of the 22nd Legion's camp was dark and extremely tragic.
Many of the Temple Guard Knights of the Fourth Legion were "seriously injured, uh, literally seriously injured. Many of them were beaten with bruises and swollen faces, but they still fought bravely to kill the enemy and shouted for a fierce battle.
After less than an hour, they fought against the Fourth Legion of the Holy See.
Finally, one by one, they were defeated again.
However, this time, they also made each other pay a certain price.
The staff even reported in detail that Archbishop Sandos had offered him 10,000 gold coins and would not leave his position as legion commander.
Lorraine thought about this lovely archbishop, but she only remembered that he was beaten into a pig's head and looked like a miserable man. He didn't have any impression of his appearance.
Lorraine smiled and shook her head, thinking in her mind: What to do with Archbishop Sandos.
At this time, Hilmeria came over with the baby in her arms, wiped the water drops on her body, and sat next to Lorraine.
Since giving birth to the child, Hilmeria's figure has gotten better and better, and she looks more mature than when she was a girl.
Hilmeria looked at Lorraine and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? You are smiling so wickedly. Are you trying to trick someone again?"
Lorraine put down the document and asked: ""Why don't you play with them?"," Hilmeria gently shook the baby in her arms and said with a gentle smile: ""The little guy swam for a while.
, I’m all tired, look, I fell asleep so quickly.,.
Lorraine lowered his head and glanced. The little... guy had his eyes closed and was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but chuckle.
He handed the battle report in his hand to Hilmeria and said softly: ""Remember that Archbishop Sandos?",.
"Of course," Hilmeria sighed and said: "He is an unlucky guy, but he was bullied miserably by your people. Why, he finally resigned from office?",,As the archbishop under him,
She volunteered to fight for the Holy See, but ended up being treated as a laughing stock. Hilmeria would inevitably feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it. War required not only enthusiasm, but also professionalism.
But this enthusiastic archbishop was not professional at all.
Lorraine rubbed her chin, thinking: "Maybe this guy is not useless..." "Eh~!"
Looking at the report in her hand, Hilmeria screamed in surprise, then she looked happy and said: "Santos, right? He may not be able to handle it, but he is quite tough. Now look at it."
Come on, he's very courageous. It's not in vain that I spent thousands of gold coins on him, he's a talent that can be made.
Hilmeria originally said that after this unlucky guy couldn't stand it anymore and came back, she would leave him alone for two years and reflect on him, but now it seems that this guy is still a bit promising.
""Can it be created?"
Lorraine's momo's jaw dropped in thought, and she said, ""I can give him a chance." Hilmeria was a little surprised and said, "Why?" Lorraine pointed her finger at the report and said, "A hundred battles, a hundred battles."
Although defeat and hundreds of defeats and hundreds of battles are the same on the surface, in fact they are not the same thing.
Although I don’t know why he persists until now, it seems that this guy has some rare basic qualities~!
He was tenacious and unyielding. And, most importantly, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers at all times.
Defeat is nothing. No one is born to fight. Amol and Hadou also fought hard one battle at a time.
Looking at the staff report, Archbishop Sandos has been defeated repeatedly, but he has learned something from each defeat. From the very beginning, he didn't know how to march, camp, or defend. Now he can do these things
He has a good look until he dares to take the initiative to attack. It can be seen that he is a thoughtful person.
The staff officer also spoke well of him.,.
Hilmeria was secretly happy, nodded repeatedly, and said: "So Archbishop Santos also has some skills?"
Lorraine shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. He just showed some good personal qualities. He is still a rookie who can be ravaged by others."
So I'm going to give him a chance. Whether he can improve or not depends on him.
There is never too much talent~!
Even if it's for the bet I made, I hope this guy can persevere. Even if he doesn't become a general in the end, he can still be a qualified little brother for you.
But the premise is that this guy is really like what the report says...
"Hmm," Hilmeria said, nodded, and said: "I'm very happy with your mood. As for whether it succeeds in the end, it depends on his own destiny."
Whether it is her or Lorraine, they all know that in order to succeed, they must have strength and a certain amount of luck. But the most fundamental thing is that they must first have a strong will.
No one can succeed from the beginning. Even if you have a good father, you can’t~!
If you cannot withstand failure and setbacks, it is impossible to succeed.
Whether it is Liu Laobang or Zeng Dafan, they have lost many battles. If they lose once, lose twice, or lose a hundred times, they will always win.
On the contrary, Boss Xiang was such an awesome hero, but his mental endurance was so poor that he committed suicide after losing once. If he could cross the Wujiang River and make a comeback, he would probably have nothing to do with the Liu Gang.
After Lorraine returned to the headquarters, she dug out two lottery tickets from the bottom drawer of her desk.
Lorraine looked at the lottery ticket in her hand and pouted, and said to herself: "At first I thought this money was wasted, but as expected the world is full of surprises...
Then, send these two lottery tickets and the latest order to the Holy See’s Fourth Legion to the General Staff to Archbishop Sandos.!
