Chapter 16 The Second Way to Boost Morale

Major General Philip never imagined that he would be so embarrassed to abandon the wounded and defend the garrison, and hurriedly followed Princess Josephine back to the port of Louis, at the cost of exhausting all the soldiers, and had to rely on the guard and defense of the port of 800 men in the middle of the port.

After the admiral learned of this situation, he came to discuss but unfortunately received information from the kingdom's intelligence department that the Norman Offshore Fleet was moving unclear and suspected of advancing to this side, and directly abandoned the defeated army and allies and led most of the Third Fleet combat ships out of port on the battleship "Earl" to find an unknown enemy.

Looking at the disappearance of the last sail in the distance, Rear Admiral Philip looked at Princess Josephine with a tired face, "Okay, the navy ran to find the enemy for a decisive battle, and we were left with only four cruisers, I really don't know how to defend this damn port with us." ”

Josephine obviously didn't want to listen to the other party's complaints, and muttered something to his cronies there, and then suddenly asked, "Lord Philip, may I ask if you detained the surviving remnants of the Seventh Legion before?" ”

"Ah, that's right, even those people came to seek refuge without telling them anything, Your Highness, you really should hang them and clean up the discipline of your army." After speaking, he took out a bottle of rum and poured it, obviously Lorraine, he didn't listen to a word of what they said before, and took a bite back.

"They are also able-bodied soldiers, and I think they will change after thinking about it for so long, so out of company." Indeed, under normal circumstances, soldiers flee from the battlefield in embarrassment and still have a certain chance of finding allies, but they must go through some necessary punitive measures to rejoin, for example, the current St. Orlando Empire, generally like Lorraine, they have at least ten lashes, naked street parade and cleaning army toilets for a month, which is absolutely indispensable, during this period except life support, others can do anything to them, so if you want to be a part of the imperial soldiers after escaping, they can't stand this kind of treatment and simply fall into the grass.

When Josephine came to the cell, it was definitely a sight to behold, and even the surviving Goliath priests also felt that this highness was a bit too beautiful, with blonde hair, blue eyes, big breasts, and a neat knight's uniform, which was enough to make this group of hungry men, Lorraine, who was considered a girl and a pseudo-mother, also attracted to her, but only hoped that this one could save him from the sea of suffering.

The staff had already informed Kalinin and others of the information, so Josephine scolded them verbally and asked them if they would like to join the royal guard, of course, if they want to join and have good combat effectiveness, Dawnblade and Goliath will indeed not insult the prestige of the princess guard, the problem is that there are a few imperial soldiers left and Lorraine.

This bothered Josephine a little, because she didn't need these ordinary soldiers, neither to bring about an increase in combat effectiveness nor to act as a subordinate or honor guard in public, and the knight princess herself never cared about such vain things.

Lorraine saw the other party's confusion, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, because he also thought of the same question, what is the use of you? In this era of frequent wars, it is very important to meet noble people and be favored by the other party, because it can change a person's future, but the vast majority of people are just looked at and then disappear, after all, they are not qualified to be cultivated if they can't show their personal value.

Obviously, Her Royal Highness the princess can't see her own value, can she say that she will be locked up until I don't know what year or month? "Your Highness, you seem to be wondering about the way out for these warriors, right?" Kalinin suddenly asked, the commander of the battle group obviously did not forget the companion who escaped together, "Yes Kalinin commander, in my eyes I don't need these respectable soldiers, maybe they can be used as junior officers in the new army after returning home, but at this time I can't think of where to arrange them." ”

"Perhaps I can solve your troubles, Your Highness." Kalinin made a noble salute and continued: "These warriors can serve as a cook for the legion, especially this lieutenant of Lorraine is very good at making food that suits the taste of most people from the materials at hand. ”

Josephine did have the heart to change the headache of logistics and food problems at hand, since he set out, in order to show his determination to fight, he only brought fighters and medical personnel, but he forgot the severity of the battlefield food, so that he had to gnaw potatoes, eat salted pork, and dry wheat cakes like third-rate volunteers, and he was about to forget the day he last ate food.

"I can let them try, but Sir Kalinin, are you sure they won't make some ...... Well...... A well-known glitch, right? "Of course, Your Highness, I will explain it to them personally, please rest assured." The princess nodded and left, and soon all that was released was Lorraine, Kalinin, and the few Imperial soldiers that no one wanted.

"I said that the commanders of the war regiments are all nobles, but you didn't tell me? And what do you mean by the well-known glitches? ”

"It's unbelievable that you don't know, okay, the first question, the leader of the Imperial Army's Medium War Regiment and the Knights must be nobles, and I am also a nobleman, although the back cover is really a little far away."

"As for the small problems, it is naturally drifting, as long as it is a logistics organization, there is no way to do it, according to the situation I have encountered, only about 1/3 of the arms can be sent, and the food department you are going to take over now is a little different, the logistics officer of the Seventh Legion, you don't know that there are often meat deductions and other things like fruits, wheat cakes or other things, many times even the Dawnblade Warband has to pay money to get enough food, The last time I spent two hundred fennigs to buy enough food for three days, and a lot of it is starting to rot, what a damn corrupt official. ”

"But don't you want to be a fool and not lose a single child, there have already been fools who have done this, and the consequence is to cut off everyone's financial routes, that respectable and stupid idiot ended up in the office and disappeared after only a month in office, and it is said that he was tied up by his colleagues and sold to gay bars, and now the chrysanthemums have been broken, right?"

Lorraine, who was a minor citizen before and after the crossing, had only heard about this occasionally, and had not paid attention to it purely as an anecdote, but now he had to obey the arrangement and accept this tricky task......

So on the first day after being released from prison, Lorraine accepted the cordial greetings of his colleagues and immediately took up the post of part-time chef as the food logistics officer of the Coman Volunteer Army, and by the way, he cooperated with other quartermasters to withhold 20% of the supplies and distribute them to himself and others, because it was already very good compared to others, so he did this for a few days and actually let the soldiers praise him as the best logistics officer.

Josephine had no time to pay attention to the situation of the minions, she had to lead her men and allies back to combat readiness and engage the Normans at any time, but the battle of Fontainebleau had emptied all the ambitions of Major General Philippe, and she spent the whole day drinking and invective, so that Her Royal Highness had to face the dangerous situation of having 6,000 troops empty but vulnerable.

Eating and sleeping well made the girl continue to advance towards the haggard abyss, until Kalinin ran to Lorraine to eat together. Finally becoming a quartermaster naturally had to fill his own pockets, but it was not a problem that the army food was too poor, so Lorraine asked the soldiers for free in the name of the officer to help catch seafood and nearby wild vegetables, and also dealt with the navy in exchange for more seafood at the cost of providing delicious food.

Preparing a lot of sea fish, shrimp, and shells, and spending a little money from other quartermasters to buy some personal ingredients, Kalinin came across Kalinin, "I said that you guys are really good, and you can mix them with other miscellaneous things as soon as you come." Lorraine smiled and said a little cunningly: "It's right for everyone to be rich together, and the stupid people who break away from the collective are crushed into slag in addition to being too strong, I still understand this truth." ”

"Anyway, if you can find some pots and practical oil, I promise to make a big pot of good stuff for you to eat."

Kalinin patted his chest and agreed, and soon found the pot that Lorraine wanted, but no matter how you look at this shape, it was an iron plate that was smashed down and barely made into the shape of an iron pot.

These small problems are not mentioned, and the ingredients that are brought are refueled and copied, just in this way the navy is attracted, in order to eat good things, they naturally help clean up the seafood, of course, everyone does things together is efficient enough, these seafood are directly fried in the pot, the smell of fragrant fragrance is even stronger, and the voice of Zlazila sounds very good, so that there are greedy ghosts who eat it directly, don't want a hot tongue.

Laughing and hurrying the others, through the special gloves on their hands, they felt the quality of the food materials more clearly, and then stir-fried and added water and a little pepper leftover, Lorraine put everything into the pot and simmered with a lid, and in less than five minutes, the fragrance in the cauldron wafted everywhere, and even Princess Josephine, who was in sorrow, smelled it.

Maybe it's because she usually eats too much junk food, this seafood dish mixed with a rich aroma makes Josephine feel a little hungry, and when she quietly took the escort to the beach along the scent, she saw different soldiers, whether it was the Red Coats or the Koman Volunteers, panic and numbness could not find the slightest sign from them, everyone was happily eating the stewed food in their hands and a small glass of rum, which could boost the morale of the soldiers?

Josephine, who was full of doubts, walked to the place with the strongest fragrance, and saw that the Qingli 'girl' who had been promoted to logistics officer by her was busy working there, whether it was fried seafood or the thick soup in the stew, she could not escape the palm of her hand, and there was a circle of officers next to the other party, especially the burly body of the commander of the Dawnblade War Regiment and the only general in the entire port, all staying here eating and drinking as if they hadn't eaten for many days.

A wave of resentment rushed to her head for no reason, and the princess rushed directly, "Don't you lazy people feel ashamed!" Actually let a girl cook for so many of you, what the hell are you thinking when you squeeze your subordinates! Josephine's shout directly shocked everyone, and then a loud 'goo~~~' came out of the other party's stomach, and the brush from the neck to the face was dyed a charming red.

The hearty laughter broke the peace here, maybe it was the broken jar that broke Josephine, who grabbed Lorraine directly and unceremoniously took away a large bowl of seafood, and ate it in a pot, and ate it in a big gulp, the delicious combination of spices and ingredients instantly bloomed on the tongue, Josephine, who had not eaten delicious food for too long, was full of gratitude and happiness for life, maybe she didn't realize that this was just a civilian food, but the soldiers in the battle could eat hot and delicious food, which can indeed greatly boost morale.

When she ate three bowls in a row and was still a little unsatisfied, she noticed the chef who was smiling and eating food next to her, Josephine walked over and looked at the 'girl' curiously, "It's strange, I haven't seen you in the army before, which one are you?" Lorraine put down the food and smiled a little awkwardly, "This...... Your Royal Highness, I am a survivor of the Seventh Legion, Lorraine, who was just promoted to logistics officer by you a few days ago? Taylor, rank lieutenant. ”

"It turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to be so good at it, these soldiers can be full of hope again, I think it's all because of your cooking, thank you for everything you do for the Empire, Miss Taylor."

"This is the ...... I should do"

"In recognition of your contributions, I will report to my father and the military department to give you the rewards you deserve, and at the same time, I will personally give you some compensation, I'm really sorry I don't know how to thank you except for this little bit of gratitude."

Lorraine took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Thank you very much for the reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I just want to make everyone recover from their depression as soon as possible." ”

"One more thing, I said male!"

The boy and the princess are embarrassed under the stars, and the allies around them are happy to release the pressure of the war, and the Normans may attack soon, so they want the warriors to finish the bowl of seafood and cook it in a pot.
