Volume 1 The Siege of the Empire Chapter 191 Announced
The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the Southern Guard, who had been shepherded by the knights of the 1st Regiment of the Praetorian Guard, had been driven to an open area with their backs to the fence, shivering in the cold wind.
The townsfolk of Pula were treated better, and the town guards did not restrict their freedom except to prevent them from getting too close to the location of the convoy of the alien barracks.
But at this time, the victory was decided, Carlos rode a tall horse, and walked slowly to this side, and the two cronies around the mayor had rushed over to report the news, and asked the town guards to gather the refugees and listen to the instructions of the captain.
In fact, it is not only the refugees in Pula Town, but also the town of Laining, close to the entrance of the town, has long been full of townspeople watching the excitement.
Carlos rode on his horse, his vision was broader, and he looked around at random, then chose a position not far from the people of the two towns, and after coughing lightly, he reined in his horse.
This posture was most familiar to Barus, and when he saw that Carlos's guards were about to go up the line to shout, he immediately took a step, stepped forward quickly with his cane, and shouted loudly at the crowd on both sides:
"Quiet, all quiet!" said Captain Carlos, the First Knights of the Royal Guard, to everyone. ”
Carlos didn't want to take any shelf, but at this time, Barrus shouted like he was putting on an official position.
He frowned, glared at the guard who was supposed to be out of the line with some annoyance, and then looked back at the men and horses of the alien camp behind him.
Who knew that there was only Tansen who came over, and the group of Divine Soldiers who had just watched together had already returned to the convoy, and Freya, with Charles and Little Flying Fish, was sitting in a row on the roof of the car, watching from afar.
Carlos turned his head and looked at the crowd of people in the two towns and the soldiers of the Second Regiment in the distance, and said loudly:
"The First Knights came this time to rescue Pula on the orders of the princess. The duty of our regiment is to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she should be stationed in the palace at all times, but although Her Royal Highness is in the palace, she cares about the people of the three counties, and knows that there is a beast tide in the city, so she immediately asks Her Majesty the Queen to send troops to rescue. ”
"Ah, it's the Princess's Knights' Guard!"
"No wonder the momentum is different. ”
"Nonsense, all of these Praetorian Guards are elites selected from various regiments, of course they are extraordinary!"
"Her Royal Highness the princess has a heart......"
......
After a while, the crowd gradually began to praise and thank Her Royal Highness the princess one after another.
Although Freya, the voice of gratitude from the people of the two towns, is still quite useful to listen to, Carlos's official tone, listening to her ears, always feels an indescribable awkwardness, and she can't help but roll her eyes when she looks up to the sky.
"That's a good point, Her Royal Highness the princess is really well-intentioned... Ouch!"
Little Flying Fish sat beside her, listening to the cheers of the crowd, more excited than Freya, and was clapping her hands and sighing, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her arm.
When he turned his head to look, he saw Freya rubbing her hands together, and said casually:
"Oh, it's okay, there's a mosquito, it's noisy. ”
Little Flying Fish scratched his head, glanced around, and suddenly remembered something:
It's winter!
......
Carlos saw that the people's hearts were available, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:
"However, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty did not allow her to come in person, I, Carlos Garret, on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess, promise you that this trip will completely clear the tide of beasts and let you return home safely!"
The cheers of the crowd grew louder and louder: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Princess!"
"In addition, regarding the extermination of the bipedal ichthyosaur, the knights carefully examined the head of this ichthyosaur, and there was no damage caused by the weapon of the commander of the second regiment of the defense army, the wound of the ichthyosaur was the spear of Captain Dries of the other battalion that pierced the head of the ichthyosaur.
And the soldiers of the second regiment have no traces of fighting with the beast tide on their bodies, and in this battle, it is almost certain that the entire second regiment did not participate in the battle.
The Knights are not a Department of Judge Advocate General, and have no law enforcement power, but this incident is very bad, the battalion with the responsibility of supervision has just experienced a major battle, and it needs to be repaired urgently, here, the Knights will cooperate with Captain Tansen to escort the main officers of the Second Regiment of the Defense Army to the Wangcheng Military Justice Division for trial. ”
"What a shame!"
"It's a lie! I almost believed it. ”
"Silly, I didn't believe it at the beginning, everyone here in the camp has blood on their bodies, and you can understand at a glance whose credit it is. ”
"Nonsense, I just saw you secretly pinching a snowball, if it weren't for your wife to stop you, you would have rushed up and thrown the alien barracks, right?"
......
As soon as Carlos announced the result, the refugees who had been deceived scolded them, and many of them, seeing that the camp was full of wounded, immediately associated them with defeat.
Coupled with Khakido's performance, in fact, most people have already recognized the statement that it was the second group that defeated the ichthyosaurus.
At this time, as soon as their preconceived ideas were overturned, they realized what a grievance it would be if they really fought with the beast tide to this miserable alien battalion, and in the end they would have to bear the infamy of snatching war merits.
And they, most likely, will become accomplices without knowing it!
As for the soldiers of the Second Regiment, they were still lucky, hoping that the regiment commander would be able to bear this matter.
But now that the regiment is dead, looking at the commanders who were pulled out of the queue, they know very well in their hearts that the responsibility is supreme and down, and no one can escape, at least it is a sin of knowing and not reporting.
After a few words, Carlos turned his horse's head, came to the side of Barrus and Moore, and said condescendingly:
"Now that the truth has been revealed, I still need the mayors of the two towns to go with me to the Judge Advocate General's Department to testify about this matter. ”
The two mayors had a ghost in their hearts, and when they heard that they were going to be invited to the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, although there were two lines between the imperial military and the government, and the civil affairs officials were not under the control of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, they still looked at each other with anxiety and hesitated.
It was still Barus's brain that moved quickly, put on a look of embarrassment, and said:
"Lord Carlos, there are a lot of affairs in the town now, I'm afraid I can't leave, it's better to write a statement by myself, you can bring it to make a certificate?"
Mayor Moore also chimed in: "Yes, even if this beast tide is calmed down, I can't leave if I arrange for the refugees to go back and rebuild their homes." ”
The rhetoric of the two was seamless, but who knew that Carlos turned his face and said solemnly:
"This matter is not trivial, if there are no two testimonies, I am afraid that the trial of the Military Judge Advocate General will also be time-consuming and laborious, and the city defense army will have to be invited to come and visit at that time. “
"This ......," Barus was about to say more, but Carlos interrupted him directly.
"As for the official business in your hands, you have arranged for people to act as agents in advance, and I will leave two battalions here to assist, and it will be fine. ”
