On July 23, 836 in the Julian calendar, it was sunny.

Chong Kesha is in the north, and the auspicious god is in the east.

Appropriate: travel, trade, break ground, get married.

Taboo, long travel, sword soldiers.

For the soldiers in Ryder City, today is a rare good weather.

Although the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and even a little scorching heat.

But since yesterday, the Terrans haven't fired any more at this side. You don't have to hide in the cave anymore.

The caves were dug specifically to protect against human artillery. It's so cramped and boring inside that it's hard to even turn around.

As soon as the sun rises and the heat sets in, the temperature in the cave rises, often seven or eight degrees warmer than the outside temperature. The soldiers were in it, like a steamer, sweating like rain.

Due to the high temperature and humidity, the clothes rot and the food spoils very quickly. For convenience, they often just wear a vest and pants, just to cover their bodies.

In addition, there are often more than a dozen or twenty people crowded into a small hole, and the air in the hole is so foul that the smell of sweat, the smell of athlete's foot, the smell of urine, the smell of mold, the smell of rotting food, all these smells add up to almost suffocate people.

This trench life even became a haunting nightmare for the Semitic soldiers, so much so that many survivors can still vividly remember the horrific situation thirty or fifty years later.

Some soldiers couldn't stand it and often ran out of the hole as if they had gone mad, only to be blown to pieces by human artillery.

And since yesterday, human artillery has stopped shelling.

Therefore, early in the morning. There were bold soldiers running out of the caves. Stand in the sun. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air that you haven't seen for a long time.

Even though the sun was getting fierce, it was painful to burn their skin, but they were still reluctant to leave.

These were once proud and powerful, empty-eyed Semitic warriors. A warrior who was once feared by mankind. Now they are described as withered, scrawny, and greedily looking at the sun, like a group of skeletons yearning for the sun.

Fiona stood at the doorway of the headquarters of the 4th Caribbean Division, watching their shape from afar. I was so sad that I almost burst into tears. At the same time, I also strengthened my beliefs.

In any case, the Semites must be freed from the hands of the high priest~!

And it is precisely this belief that has made the real elite of the Semitic race, these people of insight go forward for a thousand years, and constantly carry out an arduous struggle against the high priest, even if they do not hesitate to go to the soup and fire.

It is precisely because of this that the Semitic race can continue to be passed down to this day without disappearing in the long river of history.

This is not alarmist.

Because, in stark contrast. The barbarians of the north of Ruman.

The mighty Ruman Empire fought for centuries against these free and brave people, but they were never wiped out.

But not long ago, after the lich's careful governance, the entire race had disappeared into the depths of the mountains and become the dust of history.

At this time, messenger after messenger passed by her, and rushed out of the city, which was also a good habit developed under artillery fire. Only the faster you run, the shorter you spend outside, the less likely you are to be hit by artillery fire.

Fiona glanced back, and saw that Lorraine had finished the work at hand, and was lazily putting her legs on the table, leaning back against the back of her chair, squinting, looking at the map on the wall, and talking something.

And next to him, Meren was cautious, talking to Lorraine. Ever since he talked to Lorraine, he seemed to be frightened by something, and he had always been in this state, without the slightest arrogance that his brother-in-law should have.

This made Fiona a very annoyed, originally she was counting on her mother's family to help her, but looking at Melun's appearance, she couldn't count on it anyway.

She hesitated for a moment, and then walked back violently, but then she saw the tired look on Lorraine's face, and her heart couldn't help but soften, and then she remembered that after arriving here last night, she had rested for a while. But Lorraine never closed her eyes.

She thought for a moment, then said softly, "It's all arranged?"

Lorraine sighed lightly and said, "It's all arranged." ”

Fiona said, "What were those messengers doing just now?"

Lorraine said: "They're going to send out invitations, let's have a treat at noon today." ”

He paused for a moment, then added, "Hongmen Banquet." ”

Fiona was stunned for a moment, as the girlfriend of a world-famous family, she had naturally read this story full of intrigue and deceit written by the lord, but she couldn't help asking: "Now that the war is so tense, will those people come?"

Lorraine smiled: "Rest assured. Melo is not stupid again, since I sent the post, then he will definitely arrive. As commander-in-chief, he's all here. What about the others?"

The Semitic Kama Division had been in charge of the western defense of Ryder, and although it did not face the powerful Nellan legion, it was opposite him the troops of the descendants of Grand Duke Ruman. That is, they were also armed with a large number of artillery.

The gang of puppies was no less than a group of indiscriminate bombardments on his position.

It is said that Grand Duke Ruman even issued a strange battle cry: "Shoot at the city of Samarkand~!"

One by one, the dogs of the Eastern Legion fired frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Even though the artillery fire from other directions had stopped, they were still firing.

This also made Karma, the commander of the Kama Division, extremely depressed.

Due to the continuous artillery fire, the road was cut off, and all kinds of supplies could not keep up. Even as a commander, his daily food supply could only be rationed, and his whole person was much more hungry and thinner.

It's a good day, and the human side has stopped going crazy. Seeing that there was no danger, he also got out of his hole and stretched his limbs in the sun.

It's really lame these days, and you can barely see a single piece of sunshine.

He lay down on the grass at the doorway and slept soundly.

When he wakes up. That's when I found out. My stomach was growling incessantly.

He couldn't help frowning. Once upon a time, the scenery was infinite, and the head of the hall division with fine clothes and food actually woke up hungry one day.

Karma looked up at the sky, and the sun was still fierce, and it was only around ten o'clock in the afternoon at most. The little gruel I ate in the morning had already been consumed, and there was still some time before noon.

He lay on the grass for a moment, pondering where else in the city there was something to eat. At this moment, a guard came to report and said, "General, General Merlun of the 4th Caribbean Division invites you to the banquet." ”

Karma was stunned for a moment, and then said in disgust: "Don't go, the enemy is current, they still have the heart to hold a banquet." These Caribbeans are a group of auspicious people. ”

The squire answered, and then pulled the messenger beside him, and was about to turn away. But then Karma stopped him again and said, "Wait a minute. Tell me again, they're in a meeting. Or a banquet?"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, then opened the invitation card in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then said, "It's a banquet." That's right, it's a banquet. ”

Karma gestured to his mouth and asked, "Is it the kind that eats and drinks?"

The attendant thought for a moment and said, "It should be, right?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and cast an inquiring glance at the messenger next to him.

When Karma saw his gaze, he immediately looked at the messenger as well.

The messenger was honest and said, "Yes, sir." There is food and drink.

As our adults say, he's seized a lot of canned meat from the human army. There is beef, and there is mutton. If you want to be a vegetarian, return the mushrooms.

In addition to this, there is quite a bit of alcohol and cigarettes. ”

Hearing his words, Karma's saliva was about to flow out, and at the same time, he also scolded in his heart: Grandma, these damn Caribbeans, they still dislike meat to eat, and they deliberately make some vegetarian dishes.

Sluts are really hypocritical~!

At this time, the messenger continued: "As far as he has heard, the human army is running out of shells, so he needs to rest for a few days." It's rare to have a gap, so it's natural to get together. ”

"There aren't enough shells...... Karma was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "No wonder they don't fire." ”

Still, he was a little relieved. After all, the 4th Caribbean Division is notoriously unreliable. Then he asked, "Just ask me to be alone?"

In his heart, he secretly made up his mind, if he just invited himself, Uncle Karma would refuse it no matter what. After all, it's terrible for those calamities to catch whom.

The messenger thought for a moment and said, "That's not it, all the division commanders, all the adults in my family have sent invitations." Even General Merlot sent it.

It is heard that General Merlot has already agreed. Arrive at the banquet at 11 o'clock in the morning. ”

"Merlot is going too......" Karma hesitated slightly. General Merlot is one of the few brave and wise people in the flash army, and he has a very high luck value. If he's here, I believe he can block the evil aura of those calamities, right?

He thought about it for a while, and wanted to refuse, but the cans were so tempting that he had tasted them once. Every time I think about it, my saliva is going to water.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Okay, I'll go." ”

The Caribbean Division is behind the battle line, and no matter how bad they are, it is impossible for the human army to bypass the defensive line, right?

At half past ten, Karma made another round of the front line, and saw that there was indeed no offensive movement on the side of the human army, so he got up.

Because he was going to a banquet, he deliberately changed into clean clothes. and ordered a few more cronies and officers who usually slapped their ass.

Although it was a banquet and the officers under him could not go to the main hall, it was not a problem to ask the Caribbeans to bring them some food.

By the time he arrived at the headquarters of the Caribbeans, he saw that many of the generals had already arrived. There are also a lot of guards standing guard outside the door, and they are very tightly guarded.

When Karma arrived, he greeted the generals warmly and joked with each other.

At this time, the attendants had already set up a long table outside, and then placed fragrant canned meat on the table. In addition, there are several bottles of red wine.

Although it is somewhat rudimentary, there is no white Ceris porcelain plate to hold meat. There are also no clear and crystalline glass wine glasses. And there was no white tablecloth on the table. But when the generals saw it, they couldn't help but shed tears.

In their memory, the last time they held such a banquet seemed to be a hundred years ago, and they almost forgot about it.

Everyone was already hungry, and they couldn't take care of it immediately, and they didn't wait for Merlot, they stepped forward one after another, picked up the canned food and ate it. After two or three cans all fell into the stomach, this can be regarded as stabilizing his mind, and then wiped his greasy mouth heavily with his cuffs, showing his original polite aristocratic demeanor.

One by one, they held red wine, burped, and began to chat, talk about their recent situation, and joke or something.

At this time, someone shouted: "General Merlot has arrived~!"

The reflexes of the officers were generally upright.

Immediately surrounded by a large group of soldiers, General Merlot strode in. He only gave a brief hello to the crowd and then burrowed into the headquarters. I went to Merun.

The soldiers immediately dispersed, patrolling back and forth.

When a general saw it, he couldn't help but say, "General Merlot, this is too careful, right? ”

Karma laughed and said humorously, "If you're not careful, you can't do it." So many of our generals are all here, in case a human attack comes and takes us to the pot. The Flash Army is finished. ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter. This joke is really funny, it is impossible for humans to escape their own tight blockade and run to the rear.

Someone next to him also playfully continued: "Then they have to grow wings." ”

Kalmar immediately exclaimed in amazement, "How can that work? Then they won't be birdmen?"

Hearing that pun on the witticism, the generals present immediately burst into laughter again.

Kalmar was also very proud of his humor, and immediately raised his glass and drank it down.

As the saying goes, full of warmth and lust, hunger and cold make a thief.

Not long ago, the generals, who were still hungry and could be satisfied with a stutter, suddenly found that there seemed to be something missing from them.

They thought about it carefully, and then realized that there was a young and beautiful dance partner missing. Therefore, he began to complain about the simplicity of Merun's banquet.

As a cultivated nobleman, General Karma did not complain with the ruffians, but sipped wine with a smile. Although the wine is a little sour, it is much stronger than vinegar.

While drinking, he looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that not far away, a man in military uniform was looking at everyone with interest.

Although the other party was wearing a wide military uniform, and his face was full of dust and smoke, Karma was also a veteran of flowers, and he could see at a glance that it was a woman, and she was a stunning beauty with a thin waist and long legs, and her beauty was indescribable.

He suddenly came to his senses, and first looked at his colleagues with disdain: these idiots, just knowing that they were complaining there, and their eyes were all bubbles, they didn't know that there was a stunning beauty next to them.

Then he took the wine glass and leaned over with a smile on his face.

"Hey, young lady, may I have a drink?" said Karma, approaching her, in what she thought was dashing, towards Fiona.

Merlot came to the headquarters and looked at the young man sitting on the main seat with Erlang's legs on his feet, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He turned his head inquiringly to look at Meron next to him, but saw him standing respectfully to the side, as if he were a sidekick. couldn't help but hesitate to say: "You are ......"

Lorraine immediately stood up, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, General Merlot." I'm Lorraine, Lance, Lorraine. ”

Merlot couldn't help but be shocked.

The name of the dignified Flying Eagle God of War, no one knows which one does not know.

Although he sent Mollen out to connect, he really wanted to raise an army to surrender, but he also had the intention of competing with the other party in terms of intelligence, so he did not draw up a substantive plan.

But I didn't expect that this side sent Merun out, and the other party over there had already responded. And invitations were sent to all the generals.

You know, he's been thinking about this plan for five or six days. But as soon as the other party received the message, he immediately responded. This shows that in terms of IQ, the other party has already outperformed him.

Not only that, but the other party did not give himself a substantive plan. He knew in his heart that this was also the other party's test of himself.

Therefore, he brought his cronies over.

Originally, I thought that the one who dared to risk his life to sneak over was at most a heavyweight general in the human army, and someone like Cardinal Santos was already good.

But he didn't expect that it would be Lorraine himself.

This is the rear of the Flash Army, which can be said to be dangerous for mankind. As long as they shout, they will not come back.

Speaking from the heart, if he was in the position of Lorraine, it would definitely be impossible for him to go out in person.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little low. Originally, he also thought very highly of himself, thinking that he just had no chance, and once he had the opportunity, he would be a rising figure.

Unexpectedly, in terms of resourcefulness and courage, it is already a big difference compared to Lorraine.

However, he is also a simple and bold soldier, since he is not as good as a person, then admit defeat in betting. Therefore, he did not shake hands with Lorraine, but saluted him, and then said, "Good handsome." ”

This subordinate attitude immediately won Lorraine's favor. No wonder I would rather fight with a smart person than say a word to a foolish person. Dealing with smart people is worry-free. When it comes to doing things, it is also simple and beautiful, without the slightest drag.

He immediately saluted, and then said, "General Merlot is good." Thank you for your righteous actions. You've saved countless lives, both Semitic and human.

Here, on a personal basis, I would like to vouch for you. Neither Semitic nor human beings will fail you. ”

General Merlot listened to his words, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. For him, Lorraine's personal assurances were more effective than official assurances.

He bowed slightly and said, "Lord Xie." ”

Then he continued: "I brought a company of men and horses, all of whom were trusted guards, and listened to the orders of Lord Hou. ”

Lorraine immediately nodded and said, "Okay." Since the general said so, then I'm not welcome.

Time is of the essence, and the sooner we act, the more likely we will be successful. ”

He paused, then said, "All those who ordered you should wear a red belt on their left arm." And then spread out. Defend the main roads with the guards of the Caribbean Division. When the preparation is complete, start acting immediately~!" (To be continued.) )
