Chapter Twenty-Five: A Gloomy End

After all the troubles, Lorraine followed the army out of the Fontainebleau area, and when passing through the Duchy of Coman, he was ridiculed by the garrison there, because they had almost no weapons in their hands, except for Josephine's knights of the guard, who still kept some weapons, and others, including Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, had already sold their ordnance to Yuri for supplies and money.

Although I hate these disgusting guys, the situation is stronger than people, and we must not clash with them at this point in time, so after staying for a week, the Volunteers disbanded locally, and the rest of the people spent more than a day on a clipper boat back to the imperial capital El Calloon.

Lorraine was still a little excited to come to this world-famous super city for the first time, after the city went through too many trials and wars in later generations, and finally in the world war, it was completely reduced to ruins by legendary spells no less than 100 times in a row, and could only become a historical site for the world to visit and remember the great martial arts of the bloody empress.

The huge city wall firmly envelops the entire city, and in the past thousands of years, too many mages, priests, and great gods have left their footprints here, and dense magic arrays are superimposed on the outer city walls layer after layer, although the material is only the most basic granite, but the sage's Terrayari once gave a great material replacement spell here, making the physical defense of the city wall only stronger than that of pure gold.

The city walls that can drive at least six heavy cavalry side by side are breathtaking, and after leaving the gate made of unknown metal and magic, the Imperial Capital Avenue can be used by four heavy trucks at the same time, which reminds people of the urban roads of later generations.

"You're here for the first time, Lorraine, aren't you?" Josephine saw Lorraine with a surprised look on her face and asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she smiled and said: "Then when the inquiry is over, you can come and take a walk by yourself, El Carlon, which gathers the essence of the entire empire, is full of all kinds of adventures, and there are even more legendary Imperial Capital Giant Soldiers who have been buried in this city, maybe you will also like to venture underground or something." ”

"Then I'll definitely go back and take a look, if I really found it, the royal family will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it."

Although it is very new, only walking on the streets yourself will find the disturbing images of the glorious surface of Elcalon, the famine that has never been relieved has not been relieved and the people of this country are constantly tormented, and the regular army that does not send a fighting force in the face of the imperial attack can only let the royal princess take private soldiers and volunteers into battle so that they cannot gain an advantage, and in the end they still fail to keep the territory.

The result is already very sad, and after returning home, I have to be questioned, according to Lorraine's own estimates and the various brain-dead measures of the San Orlando Empire in history, I have to say that the prospects are very bad.

What the Confederate Council has opened, and what the specific content is, is not at all something that a petty officer like Lorraine who has been promoted to a lieutenant in the line of fire can know, and can only look at Princess Josephine, Major General Philip, and Hugh with a calm face? Admiral Harman and Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, who was a representative of the Seventh Army Corps, entered the venue.

About three hours later, the three of them walked out with an ugly face accompanied by a high-spirited middle-aged nobleman and read out the results of the questioning.

First of all, as the royal princess, Her Royal Highness Josephine led the royal guard and the illegally formed Coman Volunteer Army to fight the Norman alliance in the Fontainebleau area without the permission of the Royal Council, and the serious consequences of this act were really unbearable for the council, so the princess will be placed under house arrest in the palace and cannot leave the royal territory without permission.

Duke Koman had already informed the Volunteers when Josephine led his subordinates to support, so he would not be punished in any way, on the contrary, the royal family must also pay the Duke 100,000 Fennig for the loss of labor as the cost of recruiting middle-aged men, this old bastard is really going to make money, a group of rags and third-rate personnel can squeeze out 100,000 Fenni gold coins, which is much higher than the means of Lorraine, a logistics officer, but is it really okay to fatten yourself to damage the country and the royal family?

Next, the two generals of Riberia had to accept the double punishment of the alliance and the kingdom, these two were forcibly retired and transferred to the reserve army as reserve generals, as for the independent army will be reassigned to the jurisdiction of the army department of the kingdom of Riberi, and the third fleet will begin to be rebuilt only in terms of scale, from the main fleet of the kingdom to the local garrison fleet, the difference between the two is so great that the former admiral will not pay attention to the others and leave in a carriage on his own.

After all, for a veteran admiral, this punishment was too severe, and he had to obey, so he had to leave sulking by himself.

When it came to the Seventh Legion, which Lorraine was most concerned about, it was supposed to be rebuilt as a unit directly under the royal family, but Princess Josephine's actions eventually led to the abolition of the Seventh Legion, and the high-level combat power such as the Dawnblade Warband and the four priests of the Goliath Wing joined the princess's personal guard, and the rest of the surviving soldiers and officers were all paid back three months' salaries and retired from active service.

The stunned Lorraine was forced to retire with the rank of lieutenant, and if he wanted to continue to be a soldier, he must accept the jurisdiction of the War Department, and he would be demoted to a sergeant rank in order to continue his service.

This condition is unacceptable in any case, although in this era as a soldier has the opportunity to get real power, but you can't just be promoted to an officer and let Lorraine become a non-commissioned officer again, right?

The War Department completed the retirement work on the same day at an astonishing speed, and Lorraine was kicked out of the army after successfully getting a total of forty-five pfennigh gold coins for three months, but fortunately, Josephine may not be able to take care of the others, but the surviving mage of the Seventh Legion, he still got the royal favor and was able to rent a room near the princess's palace at a very low price, and by the way, he went to the Royal Mage Association with Josephine's letter of recommendation to see if he could get mixed up with an official and a half-job.

The pedantic and old royal mage didn't want to care about Lorraine, he had no oil and no identity, but fortunately, the royal family's letter of recommendation finally allowed the old mage in charge of the review to pass Lorraine's application, and it was not difficult to accept some spell tests and written exams at all for the former lieutenant, these questions may still be a little difficult for mages of this era, but the vomiting exams of those magic schools in later generations have long tormented Lorraine so they passed smoothly.

In less than half a day, Lorraine left the association wearing the badge of the royal mid-level mage and the standard robe, as a benefit of joining the Royal Mage Association, he has the right to borrow thirty books for free every month, including all of them, he has the right to read magic books, of course, you have to pay for copying, and high-level magic books and new magic learning need to be recommended to be seen.

In addition, he can also enjoy a preferential price of one pfennig per day, and the premise of renting a series of public laboratories is that he must make an appointment, and if he makes magic items and potions, he will be sold to the association or consigned in the shops under the association, and the service will be divided according to the price of the mage seven associations and three.

As for obligations, according to Lorraine's specialty, he was divided into construction and alchemy mages, who were required to provide ten healing potions per month or the necessary daily maintenance for the Society's two Iron Golems.

Finally there is a stable and quiet environment, although it costs money, but it is enough for Lorraine to use personally, and the next time is naturally to study the scientific research drawings that Pierre Lofa has obtained, maybe there will be some special discoveries.

Whether it's a sorrowful princess, a troubled general, or a battle between nations, it's all been going on over the past month, and maybe there's more to come in the next round.
