Chapter 1311: The King Returns, Morale Rises
Throwing herself into Marin's arms, little Caesar finally burst into tears uncontrollably. After all, he's been under too much pressure these months. Being bullied by the eight vassal states and hitting the door, seeing that there is a crisis of losing the country, can you not be anxious?
And after seeing Marin appear, Caesar finally lifted the burden from his shoulders. Because, Marin can carry this burden better than him. And looking at Caesar, who was crying bitterly in his arms, Marin also felt very guilty. After all, it was his deliberate concealment of the news that made Caesar, who was only 10 years old, so stressed.
However, he does not intend to debunk these. Otherwise, Caesar, who is still immature in mind, will easily collapse when he learns the truth. Parents can have white lies for their children, but it is not good if they let their children know too early that it is a lie. Because it will make children lose trust in their parents.
Marin touched Caesar's head lovingly, and comforted:
"Baby, don't cry! Daddy is back and everything will be fine......"
But unexpectedly, as soon as Marin finished speaking, Caesar unhappily got out of his arms and protested:
"Can you please stop calling me baby? I'm 10 years old, and I'm a man! Also, don't touch my head......"
Marin was stunned for a moment - a 10-year-old man......
But soon, he burst out laughing:
"That's right, my Caesar has grown up and is a man!"
Then, Marin suddenly became serious, stretched out his hand and said:
"Caesar. Mr. Hoffman, I'm Marin. Hoffman, nice to meet you! "It looks like I'm on an equal footing with Caesar.
The people around me thought it was funny, you know, in this era, whether in the East or the West, fathers will not respect their 10-year-old sons so much, and will only treat them as little P children. And Marin is a modern soul who knows how to respect children more. Therefore, he pretended to shake Caesar's hand, as if he treated Caesar as an adult.
On the contrary, little Caesar, who thinks he is mature, eats this set very much. It is no wonder that the people of later generations are also so virtuous. The little kid deliberately pretends to be old, while the middle-aged man likes to pretend to be young......
Marin's teasing made Caesar, who was originally in a big mood, suddenly diverted his attention. Then, Mr. Hoffmann, one big and one small, took each other by the hand and got into the car together. As for Angela, she looked at the father and son with a smile on her face, and got into the car with them. She didn't feel excited to see her husband, after all, she had been with him every night through the secret passage.
After getting into the car, Marin said to Caesar seriously:
"From now on, you'll be Mr. Hoffman Jr., understand?"
But Caesar frowned and said:
"I'm Hoffman Jr., so you're Hoffman Sr.? No, what do you call grandpa? Old Hoffman? ”
Marin laughed happily:
"That's it, old Hoffman is your grandfather, and your father and I are not old, so let's call Big Hoffman!"
But Caesar still shook his head:
"No, generally speaking, the size is called brothers, not father and son!"
Marin and Angela looked at each other - why is this kid so serious? Typical later Germans, more serious, rigid......
"Okay, I'll call you His Royal Highness Caesar in the future, how about it?" Marin was defeated.
"Well, that's all there is to it, Your Highness Marin!" In German, the Grand Duke is also considered His Highness. After all, the Grand Duchy of Beihai still belongs to the German princes and cannot be regarded as an independent monarch, so it is not enough to be called Your Majesty, but can only be addressed to Your Highness.
Looking at Caesar's serious appearance, Marin's mentality almost collapsed - this stinky boy, want to be on an equal footing with me? It's not cute at all, it seems, it's better to have a cute one......
……
When the convoy arrived outside the city of Aurich along the concrete road, there was a loud cheer in the city:
"The Grand Duke is back!"
"The Grand Duke is back!"
"The North Sea Kingdom is saved!"
The inhabitants of Aurich were in ecstasy, much warmer than in Emden. After all, Aurich is the stronghold of the Bullock and Hoffman families, and most of the residents are the strongest supporters of the Hoffman family.
Even more fanatical than the citizens of Aurich were the soldiers of the First and Second Legions. They are basically die-hard loyalists who have followed Marin since the beginning, and with the usual brainwashing of Bishop Taylor's disciples, the worship of Marin is almost fanatical.
Many soldiers saw Ma Lin, just like the people of Beibang saw the Jin family, their faces were full of fanaticism......
In addition to the fanaticism, all the soldiers of the First and Second Legions had another thought in their hearts - with Marin, they would win!
After all, as a soldier, you always have to fight the enemy. But if you follow a powerful commander, the probability of victory is much greater. At the same time, the chances of survival are greater. And after winning the battle, not only do you have a greater chance of surviving, but you can also gain wealth through your exploits......
Therefore, the soldiers of the First and Second Legions were much more excited than the people of Aurich when they saw Marin......
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Invincible!"
The soldiers shouted in unison excitedly, as if the battle was already doomed. Of course, they were right. Marin is back, which means that he is about to win......
Marin could not chill the hearts of the people and soldiers, so he stood on the edge of the driver's seat of the carriage and waved to everyone incessantly. As for the fear of assassination or something, there is no need. Because, Marin came back suddenly, even if the enemy country wanted to send assassins, it would not be too late.
Moreover, Marlin is wearing a plate armor chest and a plate armor head. Ordinary arrows are ineffective, and muskets, Marin is very tightly controlled, and ordinary people can't bring muskets into Aurich at all. Therefore, he was relieved and bold to interact with the masses and soldiers like the stars of later generations, and he almost said "I love you......
……
After lunch, Marin personally ascended to the gate tower of the main gate of the palace and gave a speech to the people and soldiers in the square of the main entrance of the palace with a loudspeaker.
Marin was the first to admit his recklessness in crossing the oceans, which led to serious difficulties for the North Sea Kingdom. But then he pointed out that the king (the Lord of Destiny) has returned, and as a man favored by the gods (Marin once had the title of "Divine Favor"), he will surely lead the people of the North Sea Kingdom to defeat any enemy and protect everyone's happiness......
The earthen horn is the earthen horn, and the effect is not good, and it is not as good as the megaphone that sold rat poison in later generations. But now is not the future of the man who is accustomed to hearing the speeches of politicians, so the citizens and soldiers of Aurich could not stop cheering for Marin's bland speech, so that Marin's voice was muffled by the cheers many times, and they had to stop and wait for the cheers to end before continuing to speak......
After Marin's speech, the enthusiasm of the people and soldiers of Aurich detonated the whole city, and the excited shouts of the people and soldiers were everywhere -
"When the king returns, the North Sea Kingdom will win!"
"When the king returns, the North Sea Kingdom will win!"
……
For a time, the morale of Aurich's two legions was high, and it was instantly raised to the peak, and the military spirit was available, worthy of a battle......
