Chapter XVII: The Crown Prince

The sky is gradually getting brighter, the sun in the east is gradually radiating warmth, although the weather is getting hot, but at this time you can still feel a chill, Crown Prince Baron? Brittania holds its hands behind its back and admires the wonderful scenery of the rising sun with a blank face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that the officials at all levels who stayed in the room didn't have the slightest intention of appreciating, from the commanders of the Near Eastern Army to the newly formed Seventh Army, as well as the officials of the city government, were all waiting for the thunder that belonged to the emperor, because they were too disappointing to the other party this time.

"Say it, my 'good fellows'. What was Travania doing on the day it was attacked? I may forgive why the gendarmes are hiding at the headquarters and give reasons...... The patrol seems to be partying at a nice bar somewhere, right? Durant, why did you take the soldiers to the officers' quarters of the Seventh Army? ”

No one dared to say a word, dozens of officers and administrators quietly looked at the man in front of him, not a tall figure, and the marshal's costume looked a little stained, but it did not in any way damage the temperament of the overlord of the peninsula.

The terrifying beast-like gaze swept back and forth, making them tremble, and they didn't even dare to breathe, the reason was that it was too simple and ridiculous, even if the other party was the invincible commander of the Near East Army, most of them would be angry to death.

Lorraine and the others, who seemed to have little responsibility to bear, were also very scared at this time, because as the commander of the pursuing force, he actually chased down the most important Norman special team, and at the same time was ambushed by the guerrillas led by Su Ke, losing more than 100 people and precious gyroplanes, and had to flee back in embarrassment.

It stands to reason that they are not so miserable when they are composed of elites, not to mention that Lorraine still has high-end equipment, the problem is that you can't expect to be in a large pile of powder kegs, and there are thousands of muskets without money to maintain combat effectiveness, this is an ambush!

However, after the shame was over, he also made up his mind to learn from his colleagues in the Near Eastern Army, and he had to evade responsibility or something, no matter how angry his Royal Highness the Crown Prince scolded, coerced, or other tricks, he did not want Lorraine to admit his mistakes - confess leniently, and sit in prison; Resist strictly, go home for the New Year, well, that's it, you know.

Seeing that none of the people were willing to speak and be responsible, the crown prince sighed in his heart, the actual situation had already been made by the efforts of the Military Intelligence Bureau to work overtime, and he understood that it was not responsible, mainly because the management personnel at all levels did not encounter special circumstances for a long time, resulting in untimely responses, wrong methods, and the officers and soldiers of the troops were too relaxed after the battle.

When General Durant took the guards to negotiate with Lorraine and his party, the troops who had returned for a week finally began to take a holiday, even the newly formed Seventh Army soldiers who had been broken up were resigned to their fate at this time, and soon someone proposed to go for a drink, as for why the patrol was also there, most of them were dragged over by their colleagues.

The gendarmerie should not be unaware, but unfortunately in order to deal with the backlog of official duties and General Durant's orders, they had to work overtime overnight, and in order to be more relaxed, these bastards called a lot of special girls, and by the way, closed the door, so that it was the only department in the whole attack with intact office space.

Although the soldiers reacted quickly after the attack, they remained cautious and cautious and hid in a safe place without weapons, and survived the massive explosion at the beginning of the crisis, but they also lost time to stop the rioters who appeared on the streets of Transvania in time.

When the situation became more and more chaotic, the soldiers finally saw that something was wrong and began to fight for their lives, as for why the Royal Princess was launched at the last moment, there was still a few battle mages appeared, and there was a reason why the gyroplane did not see a single one.

First of all, there was a shortage of manpower, and the soldiers of the various divisions were transferred by the odious Near Eastern Army, so that only the members of the engineering department and the mages of the Near Eastern Army were there drinking and chatting on the airboat. found that Lorraine, Sam and Tevin did not teleport back together, and immediately the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and Princess Josephine was about to cry in fright.

Thanks to the existence of Irene, a large Lori, I searched for Lorraine's magic coordinates and found that I was in a state of 'onlookers' by the enemy, and I had to start the engine urgently, and all the personnel went on together to barely make the Royal Princess move.

However, due to the lack of manpower, she was completely unable to give full play to the advantages of artillery, so she could only let Irene take those mages who knew that she had no combat experience at a glance, and pretended to be battle mages and lost fireballs, acid, and other things, and finally succeeded in dispersing some of the enemies, and then it was the debut of Lorraine's earth element self-propelled bomb.

It was only after the pursuing troops returned in embarrassment that the situation gradually became clear. The completely unexpected battle took a heavy toll on Transvania, with half of the city in the Pearl of the Peninsula almost in ruins, the city hall, the logistics department, the patrol barracks and other important facilities and departments suffering heavy losses, and more than 10,000 mutilated corpses waiting to be cleaned up.

This tragedy directly stimulated the crown prince Baron, and by the way, he was also jealous of the new Seventh Legion and the Royal Princess, although it was a bit far-fetched, but he still stubbornly believed that it was this group of bastards who escaped from the homeland that brought bad luck, and even the royal sister Josephine, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, made him resentful.

Since everyone doesn't admit their mistakes, and they can't find any unlucky people who are willing to come out and take responsibility for themselves, don't blame the crown prince for being ruthless. If he was still the pure and cowardly man he was back then, then the stick raised high and put it down lightly would have been forgotten, but he would have long since transformed into a butcher of the peninsula, a super tough commander.

"Good! Good! Good...... My subordinates turned out to be bastards who shirked their responsibilities, and this world lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of bastards who can be officials! All officers above the rank of lieutenant should be held primarily responsible for the untimely response and command errors that led to the heavy losses that Transvania suffered! Guards, throw these bastards into the dungeon for me and make them reflect for a month! ”

Lorraine felt that something was wrong when she heard this, could it be that they were so well-organized (in fact, lucky) and good officers who insisted on fighting should also be locked up?

"Your Highness Balon, will our newly formed Seventh Legion also be punished?"

The crown prince's heart suddenly sudden, and he suddenly felt unhappy, and secretly thought in his heart: "Okay, when you get to my territory, you will give me a face, after my father dies, I should be the emperor, you casually say that Your Highness is disobedient, right?" ”

Baron stared at Lorraine expressionlessly for a few seconds, and suddenly said with a smile: "Where, your unit is very good in this battle, and the officers naturally have rewards instead of punishments, and I have other arrangements for this (definitely let you know what a reward is). ”

Thus, the citizens, who were grieving up the ruins of the city, saw the former officers of the Near Eastern Army, bound by a large number of guards, walking slowly down the street like slaves, and walking to the dungeon prison at the other end of the city to be punished by a month's imprisonment.

More punishment would not be shown to the citizens, so that the guards would not tell the others that the only way to wait for these officers was to squat for a month, and according to the instructions that the captain of the guards received from the crown prince, they were to be thrown into prison first, and then reformed through labor.

This method was first popular in the Eastern countries, and His Highness Balon thought it was very good when he learned about it, just enough to exercise the body of the criminals, and also to strengthen the construction, especially without giving money, so these unlucky people were destined to complete the repair and expansion of the prison, and if they were unlucky, they would definitely have to help renovate the airport outside the city.

Even at this point, the crown prince was still trying his best to toss his officers, and the iron-blooded prince had long thought that his subordinates had become a lot of decadent and needed to be reformed, and before that, the vacancies in the positions were just vacated for those up-and-coming newcomers, and as for the place where he arranged them after the punishment was completed.

On the contrary, the new members of the Seventh Army, although it is said to be a reward, is there any difference from the previous approach of General Durant?

"Breaking up the entire army again, the Royal Princess continues to dismantle and prepare to build a few more aerial gunboats of the same level, right for those people in the engineering department?"

"Lorraine, you finally think of that unlucky guy of Marlon, he was very unfortunate to be captured by the enemy in this attack, and I also need to remind you that there are already 13 gyroplanes missing along with their pilots......"

"Doesn't that mean that our combat power has been exposed, and the enemy will be able to imitate it immediately, and we will fight an aerial artillery battle in the Age of Magic!?"

"You don't need to think about it, you'd better take a look at the new position you've been given by the crown prince."

Lorraine, who was unhappy in his heart, took the dispatch letter from his uncle - ordering all the members of the new Seventh Army to be incorporated into the Near East Army system. Taylor was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Army, and was awarded 10,000 Imperial Finneys, and the insufficient number was due to the lack of military tickets, so please go to the Imperial Church of the Holy Gods in Transvania in ten days, and take up the post of director of the Military Special Relics Management Office......

The personnel who were transferred included the former Chief of Staff of the Seventh Marine Wing, Azinaha? Nikolavich? Major Nicholas, former Captain Sam, former Commander of the 2nd Marine Wing, Captain Tatewen, former Commander of the 3rd Marine Wing, and Captain Irene, former Captain of the Air Mage.

"Why is it just me and the adventure team? What about the others? ”

"The lieutenant colonel has been transferred to build a new warband, princess...... Even if you go to bed, you can't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let her follow you to work, right? ”

Lorraine was completely powerless to refute the uncle's ridicule, well, it seems that he has to stay in his idle position for a while.
