Chapter 3 Blue Vetiver Iris

"All of them, line up, stand upright!!"

With a full beard and curly blond hair, he is tall and strong, the solid muscles on his bare arms are lumpy and bulging, and although his face is already full of wrinkles, every glance of a pair of blazing eagle-like eyes will give each other a burst of heartfelt coldness.

Leo. Harder, this is the old qualified mercenary who entered the mercenary with Lin Haoda's 'trust', it is rumored that he has gone through more than 20 battles and battles, experienced the tragic Seven Years' War in Europe, killed the French with the British Sequoia Army in the Indian battlefield, killed the Austrians with the old Frederick the Great in the European battlefield, and now begins to work for the French King Louis XVI, which fully reflects the mercenary's rich is the urine of his father......

Of course, the Seven Years' War in Europe was also the last glorious moment of the mercenary era, when even half of the army under Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, who had started the national mobilization mode, was temporarily recruited mercenaries rather than standing armies!

The original version of Lin Haoda's idol is Leo. Harder, even if he is just a commoner with no status on weekdays, as long as someone needs mercenaries, he can immediately become the leader of hundreds of mercenaries who have fought old battles, such as - now!

In Leo. In Hader's scolding, the mercenaries, who were originally very scattered, immediately showed their proper qualities, and under the chaos, hundreds of people lined up a rectangular queue, although it was not comparable to the horizontal and vertical formation of the honor guard in later generations, but at least it looked like it had a bit of military temperament.

Lin Haoda held his eyes and stood straight not far away, and the 'intelligence trafficker' Lucas, who had just been rejected by himself. Bodol had a serious look, for Leo. Harder's prestige is a first-hand experience.

"Today, a group of Parisian mobs gathered in the city to make trouble, seriously endangering the authority of the king and the stability of society, our task is to assist the Paris city police and suppress this riot, understand?!"

"Understood!"

Leo. After telling his subordinates the general content of the mission, Harder raised the horsewhip in his hand, and glanced at the solemn faces of hundreds of mercenaries, Lin Haoda didn't know if it was his own delusion, he felt Leo's gaze pause when he glanced at him.

However, to Lin Haoda's surprise, Leo. Harder actually has his own warhorse!

The old mercenary, who was not young, turned on his horse, rode forward, and shouted, "Marching column, beat the drums!! ”

Knock knock~~~

Out of nowhere, a few drummers with drums on their shoulders beat rhythmic drums and marched in with the soldiers in the queue!

The flag bearer walked in the forefront, carrying a long-pole smoothbore gun of his own on his back, holding a wooden marching flag with both hands, and the interesting thing is that the pattern on the flag was not the common blue, white and red French flag in later generations, but the blue-background vetiver iris flag that Lin Haoda met for the first time!

In Lin Haoda's memory fragments, there is no impression of this kind of flag, presumably this flag is a detail that can be ignored in the eyes of the original Lin Haoda......

The reason why Lin Haoda noticed this blue-background vetiver iris flag fluttering in the wind was mainly because the pattern on this flag was too fancy, and Lin Haoda, who was rough and superficial, liked this kind of colorful and fancy flag......

Don't expect a murderous mercenary who didn't go to college to be artistic......

Anyway, Lin Haoda felt that the mercenary team he belonged to, following such a 'good-looking' banner, seemed to look quite good, at least much better than the 'Star Red Flag' in the later generations......

The marching drum beat is beaten by one person in the front, middle and back of the queue, so all the soldiers in the marching queue of hundreds of people can clearly receive the rhythm of the drum beat in their eardrums, and they are very natural and neatly carrying the flintlock pistol and stepping forward!

Lin Haoda, like other mercenaries, wore a rusty long-handled bayonet pinned to his waist, a long-pole flintlock pistol on his back on one shoulder, and a boat-shaped tricorne hat, following the drum beat.

The rhythm of the drum seemed to have a kind of magic, which made Lin Haoda can't help but feel a sense of belonging to the army, subconsciously put away his careful thoughts, and walked forward with his head held high.

Of course, although the mercenaries seem to be very serious, there are still a lot of people who are 'wandering' around, and even Lin Haoda is curiously patrolling the surrounding environment!

After the queue drove out of the residential area where the mercenaries were stationed, the first thing Lin Haoda saw was a group of ragged 'French beggars', and many of them didn't even have clothes on them!

Among them, there is also a French woman with open breasts and bare breasts, looking at the fluttering French royal flag with empty eyes and numbness!

It is not difficult to see that these poor French people did not come to watch the mercenaries go out on purpose, but because they simply had no place to live!

Lin Haoda quickly noticed from the corner of his eye that these poor people in Paris, France, showed a touch of longing when they looked at the barracks residential area, but when they turned back to the mercenaries, they showed a sad and angry look......

It's like, robbing their homes?

Obviously, the residential houses of these Germanic foreign mercenaries could not have been conjured out of thin air!

"No wonder these French want to rebel, they are forced to be like this grandmother, it's only ...... if they don't rebel," Lin Haoda complained in his heart with a mentality that it didn't matter to him......

However, when he once again glanced at the blue-bottomed vetiver iris banner in front of him, he realized a serious problem, his unique Asian face, the status of the king's mercenary, seemed to have doomed him to stand in opposition to this group of French clay legs who had been filled with anger and hatred......

"This ...... After the French Revolution in history, what happened to the king's mercenaries? Lin Haoda couldn't help but rack his brains to recall his historical common sense that had already been fed to the dogs......

It's a pity that the things that are fed to the dogs can't be taken out......

However, with a little analysis of normal logic, we also know that since after the French Revolution, the king of France has become Napoleon the Great, obviously these mercenaries who are in the wrong position will not end well, especially these mercenaries are still foreigners in the eyes of the French!

The saying that people who are not of my race must have different hearts is also common in the eyes of foreigners!

Xenophobia is a common problem of human beings......

When Lin Haoda looked at the 'numb' eyes of the large number of French poor people again, a chill filled his heart......
