Chapter 289: So, I don't have water
The fortress of Constantinople was once a frontier town of the Duchy of Blackstone.
In response to the call for reform and opening up and economic development, the later generation of Grand Duke Taketori turned the fortress of Constantinople from a garrison fortress into a border trading city with zero garrisons, and the Kadore war regiment, which had been stationed in the fortress of Constantinople, was arranged to York City in the upper reaches of Constantinople.
And the general of the Cadore Warband, who had been the lord of Constantinople for more than ten generations, also became the general of the garrison of Constantinople because of an idea of the boss.
If you want to talk about loss, there must be Lexington, the general of this generation of the Cadore War Regiment, fortunately, General Lexington, who is familiar with his boss's character, doesn't care about this, anyway, he is a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is as long as he obeys orders, and his family can work under the Duke of Taketori for more than ten generations, and it is a key family admonition not to think about things that are not too much.
But because he was familiar with his boss's character, General Lexington had a headache about how to write a debriefing report at the end of this year, because the fortress of Constantinople, which had been guarded by the Cadore War Regiment for hundreds of years, was lost in his hands.
Although General Lexington had many reasons to shirk his responsibilities, such as the fact that York City was too far from Constantinople, for example, the Cadore War Regiment was a defensive war group and was not good at sports warfare, and the opponent was Field Marshal Verdun, the second executive officer of the Third Reich who was the best at blitzkrieg.
But a loss is a loss, and for a general, not being able to predict the opponent's reaction is a dereliction of duty, especially after the loss of Constantinople. General Lexington later discovered that several Marshals Verdun had prepared information about Constantinople.
These are all to be written into the debriefing report, although this year's Taketori Grand Duke is very good. But not a bad good person, she can tolerate the dereliction of duty of her subordinates, but she cannot tolerate the self-righteous ignorance of her subordinates, wrong is wrong, and any whitewashing has no meaning except to prove her stupidity.
So General Lexington was staring at the fortress of Constantinople in the distance, where the defensive barrier was fully open and ready to fight a protracted war with him, and at the same time he was worried about how to write this debriefing report that would either take himself to court-martial or let himself retire with peace of mind.
"Report to the General!" A shout from the adjutant interrupted the veteran's thoughts.
"Calm down, kid, calm at all times. Victory favors only calm warriors. General Lexington, who found himself entangled in the struggle for a long time and did not write a word on the debriefing report, sighed, put down his pen, and said to the adjutant who rushed into his military tent.
"Sorry General!" The adjutant who made a temporary cameo appearance as a herald stared at his old boss, knowing why this old general, who had always had a quick temper, had changed his appearance, and sighed inwardly and said, "General Alphonse has discovered something strange. ”
"Strange stuff? What could be stranger than the crazy Verdun. Let Alphonse in. Let him tell me in person that I have found something strange. General Lexington, who had not raised his head, continued to stare at the notebook used to write the debriefing report on the table in front of him, and said to his adjutant.
"General Alphonse may not be able to come in person for the time being, he is with his cavalry team." The adjutant said as he tried to make his tone appear calm.
"You mean?" The old general, Lexington, looked up at his lieutenant and asked, "Did he go to see that strange thing for himself?" Strange, isn't he a person who likes to leave his post without permission? ”
"General Alphonse didn't leave his post without permission, that strange thing was found in his patrol area."
"Alphonse's patrol area?" General Lexington stood up from his seat, walked to the projection sand table placed in the military tent with a straight body, looked at the dynamic army transfer inside, and said, "Alphonse is in charge of there...... Haven't you already stepped down the endless loop enchantment? Theoretically......"
"That's why Alphonse said there was a strange discovery, someone had passed through the Endless Loop Barrier and came down." The adjutant finished adding what the old general wanted to say.
"Mistaken? Wait......" General Lexington, who realized that he had missed something, sighed. It's a pity that before this breath is finished, I remembered that General Alphonse was not only a dutiful soldier, but also never learned to exaggerate. He said it was strange, then there must be something strange.
Fortunately, General Alphonse was in charge of the cavalry, although it was a heavy cavalry team that had been mistakenly placed in the scout position, but the wrong arrangement did not have a great impact on the speed of this heavy cavalry unit, especially since they were responsible for holding a strange carriage that looked bulky but not much slower than them.
Because of this, the old general Lexington's entanglement did not last long, and when he saw the Char's ambassador-class car driven by Alsace, the entanglement was all turned into relief that Alphonse would not leak anything.
Alphonse may not know what this skeletal carriage is all about, but as a family member who has been in charge of the fortress of Constantinople for more than ten generations, General Lexington, the largest military fortress between the Black Forest and the Duchy of Blackstone, is not a general with mud legs.
Even though the Undead Empire's ambassador's carriage hadn't been in this world for hundreds of years, Lexington recognized at first glance that the freezer-like skeleton carriage came from the Black Forest.
Then, whether the endless loop enchantment is broken, why the magic enchantment in Constantinople is so hard, and how to write his own debriefing report, these questions in front of General Lexington are no longer a problem.
Just like Char said, diplomacy is no trivial matter, especially since this seemingly diplomatic officer still came out of the undead empire Owo, similar to a world police state on Earth.
Even if he is not very interested in undead creatures, the face project still has to be done, not to mention that General Lexington still belongs to the category of higher human beings who are more inclined to the side of the undead, which is consistent with his boss, the Grand Duke Taketori.
So Wang Rui, who was still worried about appearing in the battle site between the two armies, would there be something like a moth, inexplicably became the guest of honor on the besieging side, and the leader of the besieging side patted his chest and assured himself that there was no problem after hearing that he was going to Constantinople, and that the Marshal Verdun was his old acquaintance or something, and he would definitely not be embarrassed.
Hey, is it really okay to call someone an old acquaintance through such gritted teeth? Wang Rui looked at the veteran general Lexington, who claimed to be the former defender of Constantinople, and his expression was the same as that of the exercise
"Do you need help?"
One sentence is shocking, very classic Wang Rui style. (To be continued......)
