Chapter 1391: I'm Lorraine's Brother-in-law (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
January 27, 836 in the Julian calendar, sunny.
The town of Vercara is unusually quiet today, and the town, which had been razed by the fire, was no longer heard of artillery fire and shouts of killing.
The two armies, the Holy See Army and the Semitic Army, each lined up on the position in front of the town of Vercarra, and countless phalanxes of soldiers were neatly arranged.
The combined strength of both sides has exceeded 200,000.
In the past, as soon as these two legions met, they would draw their swords and fight each other to the death. But at this time, although they were only a few dozen meters away from each other, the entire battlefield was silent
Everyone was silent, except for jǐng ti looking at the opposite side, only the sound of hunting with flags flying in the cold wind.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a loud military horn sounded.
The flags of the Holy See army suddenly waved.
Immediately afterward, the army in the middle parted to the sides like a split Red Sea.
At the rear of the formation, a huge battle flag of eagle and lightning was raised high, and then slowly moved forward from behind.
Everyone in the Holy See Army was shocked: The big man is here~!
However, the officers and soldiers of the Semitic army were in a state of motion, and they all looked at the banner embroidered with flying eagles and lightning in a complicated manner
In the past, when they saw this flag, they didn't scold it. Especially that damn little white face, who used extremely shameless, obscene, and despicable means to abduct and kidnap two of the most beautiful flowers of the Semitic people.
For the Semitic officers and soldiers, Lorraine was not only an enemy of the world, but also the leader of all evil. Traitor scum. And it's a fairy tale. The dragon who kidnapped the princess.
If it's just a matter of grabbing money and things, it's okay. It's just to feed the dogs. It's just a matter of going back and earning it. But robbing women, especially the most beautiful ones. No matter where or what time and space this kind of thing is, it is the most hateful.
As long as it is mentioned, the big guy has no grit his teeth without hate.
Those young Semitic officers and soldiers also had that princely dream: to form a group to brush that super large copy of Lorraine. Hack down the evil dragon Lorraine, blast out a place of golden equipment, rescue the princess, and then ride a white horse. Disappear into the sunset with the princess......
But the dragon slayer warriors who set out one after another, and finally all fell at the feet of the evil dragon. And now the same fate has fallen on his head.
Only then did they suddenly realize that fairy tales were all lies. In the face of evil dragons, the vast majority of warriors are cannon fodder. And the evil dragon on the other side is really capable of eating people~!
When facing the unpredictable future, they are all worried in their hearts.
Seeing the two lightning bolts on the banner, many lowly puppies suddenly remembered that this evil dragon had two girlfriends who were royalty of the Semitic race.
Lorraine deliberately embroidered the lightning crest on the flag, perhaps not to humiliate herself. But I really value those two princesses.
Calculated in this way, Lorraine married two princesses, and he was also half a Semitic. He shouldn't have done a dead deal to his own Semitic people, right?
Some of the more lowly guys even speculated: Wait a minute, rush out of the line. Hug Lorraine's thigh and call 'Brother-in-law Lorraine'. Will there be any special benefits?
At this time, although the Semitic people had complicated thoughts, they were full of panic about their future fate. But no matter what, when I saw the two lightning bolts embroidered on the banner of the opposite coach, I felt some inexplicable peace of mind.
Veraprani stood in front of the formation, looking at the flag opposite with emotion. As a professional soldier, he didn't think much about it in the past. And now, when I was desperate, I suddenly realized the deep meaning of the Lorraine banner.
That lord deserves to be a god of war-level figure. Just two more coats of arms embroidered on the banner are enough to top tens of thousands of heroes.
With those two bolts of lightning, it was clear to the soldiers of the Semitic tribe that the lord had a close relationship with them, and after surrendering, the soldiers did not have to worry about being mistreated and slaughtered.
In this way, in the future, when the soldiers have no way out, they will have one more choice, instead of fighting the trapped beasts, avoiding a lot of unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice.
At this time, I saw that the big flag on the opposite side had arrived in front of the formation, and then there was a wave of brushing. Hit the ground heavily.
Immediately, surrounded by a group of Holy See generals, a young man in military uniform slowly walked out.
Lorraine came to the front of the Terran legion, then stopped, and looked across the road.
It was the first time he had seen Veraprani.
I saw that he was born with the appearance of a soldier, his face was full of weather, his military uniform was neatly dressed, and even his hair was meticulously combed.
No matter how you look at it, he is more like a general than Lord Lorraine.
The Semitic officers behind Veraprani were all dressed in clean and straight uniforms, trying to puff up their chests, raising their heads slightly, and looking at the Papal troops opposite with solemn expressions.
On the other hand, Lord Lorraine stood quite casually, his face was white, and he was followed by a girl with blue hair and unusual eyes.
And the generals of the Holy See behind Lord Lorraine are even more unbearable.
There are tall, short, fat and thin people who look like everything, and there are a few guys who have very long stomachs, most of them are white and clean, they can't stand well, they have no military temperament, and they look awkward no matter how they look at a military uniform.
Even the formation of the Semitic people is neater than that of the Papal soldiers, not to mention the security army as the trump card, the queue stands crookedly.
The soldiers were in a variety of comfortable positions, carrying guns and some were smoking cigarettes. There is also a cigarette case pinned to the helmet.
A lot of people are spitting unscrupulously.
From time to time, some honest orc soldiers also wiped their sleeves under their noses heavily to wipe away the snot that had been frozen out of the cold......
On the surface, the Semitic people looked more like victors.
However, it is precisely because they are losers that they can only use this last form to express their self-esteem as a soldier at this moment.
For the victors, a single qiē form is unnecessary, and victory speaks for itself.
Veraprani pursed his lips. Squinting slightly. I've been looking at Lorraine on the other side. In his opinion, this young man did not look like a master who could fight hard with the High Priest of the Undead.
As a commander-in-chief, he had carefully studied this opponent, but the result was fruitless, and Veraprani himself could not figure out what kind of person this Lord of Lorraine was.
It's very uncomfortable to play against this kind of person, because you can never guess what he will suddenly do next.
If you can choose it. Veraprani preferred to choose Archduke Julius to fight this battle with him.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and both remained motionless.
Lorraine looked patient, with not even a hint of impatience on her face.
Lord Lorraine didn't speak, and the others could only wait patiently.
Veraprani finally sighed, no matter how reluctant he was, this moment was always inevitable.
He waved his hand to the officer behind him, and Child stepped out, slowly lowering the Semitic Golden Banner in his hand.
A suppressed sigh came from behind him, and the Semitic officers and soldiers looked sad, and most of them bowed their heads. They couldn't bear to see the flag that represented their pride fall.
Under the watchful eyes of the two armies, Childe slowly removed the Semitic flag from the flagpole. The tattered battle flag, soaked in gunsmoke, was slowly folded.
His expression was solemn, as if he were sorting out his most precious treasure.
The banner was finally folded into a foot square, and Child, holding it in both hands, walked towards Veraprani step by step, his steps heavy, as if each step was weighing a thousand pounds.
Childe held the flag in front of Veraprani, opened his mouth, his eyes instantly turned red, tears swirled in his eyes, and flowed down his dark cheeks, Childe grabbed the golden lightning flag with both hands, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty xià......"
"There's nothing more to be done. Veraprani shook his head and said, "If you still recognize me as an old fellow, call me General." ”
"Yes, General~!" Cried Child, straightening up and shouting in a loud voice.
Veraprani smiled bitterly, raised his hand and patted Child's shoulder, and said with a sigh: "At least, we Semitic soldiers are reliable. ”
Then he took the golden lightning flag from Child's hand and walked to Lorraine and the Holy See generals opposite.
Lorraine turned his head to look at Cardinal Sandos beside him, who was trying to hold back the smile on his face, making a stern expression, his face flushed with excitement.
Lord Lorraine suddenly patted Santos on the shoulder and said, "You go." ”
Cardinal Sandos was stunned and said in surprise, "Me?"
"Yes, it's up to you to surrender," Lorraine nodded, "and you deserve it." ”
"I, I'm ......" Cardinal Sandos spoke incoherently with excitement, his whole body trembled slightly, and after a few seconds, he touched his heel hard, raised his arm and saluted Lord Lorraine, and shouted uncontrollably: "Yes~!"
Cardinal Sandos knew in his heart that Lord Lorraine's order to surrender to him represented great honor.
It will be recorded in the history books that on January 27, 836, the Semitic army surrendered to the human legion led by Lorraine, and was surrendered by Ram, Cardinal Sandos.
His name will be sung for generations to come with this victory, and will even become a compulsory subject for elementary school students in history classes every year, perhaps in junior high school, high school, college, and even graduate school......
The envious eyes of the Holy See generals behind Santos were dripping blood, but they could only sigh as Cardinal Sandos stepped forward.
As Lord Lorraine said, he deserved it.
If they also have the courage to lead the legion to take the initiative to meet the battle and be surrounded by the enemy to death, or if they can lead the legion to fight back and play an important role in determining victory in the battle, they do not have to stand behind Lord Lorraine, but on their side.
As the town of Vercara walked between the two armies, Cardinal Sandos puffed out his chest proudly and strode forward to meet him.
The two met a few meters away from Lorraine.
Veraprani looked squarely at the equally young papal general in front of him.
Cardinal Sandos looked at him without showing weakness, and his face was full of victorious pride and pity.
Veraprani sighed in his heart, there are many talents on the human side, while the Semitic tribe is always dull under the suppression of the undead, even if it is a temporary victory, it will eventually be pulled back by the humans. But once the Semitic are defeated, it will be difficult to turn over.
"Hopefully I'm doing the right thing. Veraprani said to himself one last time. Then look at Santos. Said calmly: "Me." Yakad, Veraprani, commander-in-chief of the Semitic expeditionary force on the western route, surrenders to you on behalf of the twelve divisions of the Semitic army under my command. ”
Raise your hand and hand the military flag in front of Santos.
Cardinal Sandos, in a loud and solemn voice, said in a loud and solemn voice: "I, Ram, Cardinal Sandos. The Commander-in-Chief of the Papal Legion of Bayer, on behalf of Reims, Marshal of Lorraine and Jouman, the Vatino coalition, accept your surrender. ”
Sandos reached out and grabbed the Semitic flag in Veraprani's hand.
Veraprani lowered his head and looked at the military flag in his hand with his eyes, which accompanied him from his homeland thousands of miles away to the human continent, all the way to the Vatino City, and then retreated to this little-known town.
This flag bears witness to the most glorious moments of his life, but also to his ultimate failure.
Veraprani let out a long sigh. Let go of your hands and watch as Cardinal Sandos takes the flag away. Then he unsheathed his sword and placed it on the flag.
"Hooray~!"
More than 100,000 Holy See legions suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and shouts like landslides resounded through the sky.
The soldiers raised their weapons into the sky and expressed their joy as victors with desperate shouts. Immediately afterward, the roar of the cannon also rang out.
Across from them, tens of thousands of Semitic legions were silent, just looking numbly at the humans who were cheering their victory.
While the Semitic soldiers were sad, they were also secretly glad that even if they surrendered and became prisoners of war, it was better than dying on the human continent, and they still had their families in their homeland, and dying here would only plunge the family into grief and hardship.
Even here they worked for the aristocratic bureaucrats, but the aristocratic bureaucrats turned their wives and daughters into jì women, which is a living reality.
Now the war has nothing to do with them, they just have to wait patiently for the opportunity to return home.
Listening to the cheers of the human race, Veraprani felt very uncomfortable in his heart, raised his head to look at Cardinal Sandos, and nodded politely to him, this person was the Holy See general who changed the tide of the battle and trapped him completely.
Cardinal Sandos nodded politely.
At this time, he showed his own victorious bearing, and instead of showing off and humiliating the other party with arrogance, he took a half step back, then turned and walked back to the banner of the Golden Cross, and handed Lorraine the Semitic banner and the sword of Veraprani.
Semitic flags may also be displayed at the Victory Memorial, and swords can be used as personal trophies for victorious commanders.
Lorraine waved his hand, did not take the military flag, and said, "Send it back to the Vatino." ”
Then he walked over to Veraprani and stood still in front of him.
Veraprani nodded to Lorraine and said as calmly as possible, "What else does Your Excellency Marshal command?"
Lord Lorraine bowed slightly, and said, "According to the United Nations Convention, you and your subordinates will be guaranteed sufficient security to receive a fair trial led by the United Nations.
Those who commit war crimes and massacres of civilians will be dealt with in accordance with the law, but until then I will send someone to explain the law to you. ”
Veraprani nodded with a straight face, this was a condition that had been negotiated a long time ago, and Lorraine only reiterated to him once more that this was the prerogative of the victor.
Lorraine said: "For the time being, I will arrange for you to be in the Vatino, where you will meet an old friend." ”
"Old friends?" said Veraprani in surprise, how could the Vatino have his old friends.
Lorraine smiled and said, "Semitic Admiral Orgen." ”
Veraprani was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I should have guessed it was him." ”
Orgen's navy was wiped out in the Vatino, and Veraprani just didn't expect him to be caught as well.
Lord Lorraine suddenly scratched his head, with a distressed expression, and said, "Also, thank you, General, for the crown you sent, my girlfriend likes it very much."
But I can't take your things for nothing, my people will give you a gift in return. ”
"That's hoodoo to me," Veraprani shook his head, then thought of something, a look of resentment on his face, and his eyes seemed to breathe fire.
He looked at Lorraine seriously and pleaded: "Your Excellency, I have only one request, please let me live to see De Rossi executed."
After that I will be at your disposal, and if I die before De Rossi, I will not be able to see it. ”
Lorraine nodded and said affirmatively: "General, I can promise you." Not only that, but you can also live until your health allows, until you are enlightened...... Uh, the personal summoning of the Great Demon God. ”
Veraprani sighed softly, then took a decisive step back, raised his hand and saluted Lorraine, and said, "Your Excellency, you are a respectable opponent. ”
Lorraine raised her hand and returned the salute, saying, "Although everyone has different positions, I personally sympathize with the Semitic plight, you are just a group of poor victims. ”
Veraprani smiled bitterly and said in his heart: What's the use of saying this at this time?
But a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that the man opposite had four girlfriends who were all Lingshan.
One of them he didn't know, the rest of the Adelen, Fionie and Deibole and Lorraine made a big fuss with the Semitic tribe, which was a sensation, and it was said that Adling had a good heart.
And this lord is afraid that his wife is well-known in the Semitic tribe, can he try to take the lady route and strive for better treatment?
After the simple but solemn surrender ceremony, the Semitic officers and soldiers, who had surrendered all their weapons and armor, were escorted by the soldiers of the Holy See and left for the Vatino.
They went back and forth twice in a short period of time, and they were quite familiar with it, and it was naturally not difficult to go back and forth a third time. It's just that the mood at that time and at this time is very different.
At the same time, Cardinal Sandos received the news of his promotion to Archcardinal, and he was promoted to Vice-Privy Archbishop of the Pope.
The military position remained unchanged, and he continued to command the Pontifical Beyer legion, but the deputy commander of the Western Front, Lorraine's deputy, led the troops to move to the city of Delong, and garrisoned the first line of the counteroffensive. (To be continued.) )
