Chapter 976: Heavenly with Broken Wings (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the night of the end of the battle, the camp of the Fourth Regiment of the Kyosew Army would be bustling with activity.
The soldiers who had fought for a day were originally as tired as the turtle grandson, but at this time they were all in good spirits.
They gathered around the campfire with big bruised faces and grinned teeth, and excitedly discussed their draw today. He vividly described his heroic deeds during the exercise.
Although it was only a draw, it was a hard-earned game for them. And now, they finally feel that they have a little bit of a trick to fighting.
In other words, they now have more confidence in surviving the brutal war in the future. is no longer the rookie who used to be black-eyed, bullied everywhere, and hit walls everywhere.
In the 976th chapter of the headquarters of the camp [Zhongzhong] in the heavenly (asking for a monthly ticket), Archbishop Sandos and his subordinates also sat together. In accordance with the regulations, the gains and losses in the exercise are being discussed.
Archbishop Sandos was now blushing and dancing to tell his men about his experience on the battlefield today.
"At that time, looking at the sudden killing of a large group of people from behind, I felt that my eyes were dark, and I almost didn't faint, and I said: No, history may repeat itself again.
That's when ......"
Although the surrounding officers are all helpless in their hearts, this is the third time that the dead fat man has told this story~!
But one by one they also listened with relish, at least from the expressions, each of them was focused. Even Archbishop Sandos's spitting star sprayed in his face didn't feel it.
"What's going on right now?" said one of the officers with an eager expression, his eyes wide open and a little frightened.
In Xiaobai's words: No matter when, this person who is a little brother is a hard-working baby~!
Not only must you charge in front and retreat in the back, help the boss cut people, block the knife for the boss, and carry the black pot for the boss. And from time to time, you have to play the clown and pretend to be ignorant. Slap the boss's ass hard.
Even if he was disgusted in his heart, he almost vomited in Chapter 976 with broken wings (asking for a monthly ticket), but his expression had to be in place, and at least he had to be at the Oscar level. In order to highlight the glorious image of the boss who is tall and complete, Wei Guangzheng, everyone who is a little brother is a with broken wings, and he should have flown into the toilet happily, but the wind was strong halfway, and the wings "clicked, and broke with a bang." So he fell from a height of 30,000 feet and finally fell to the ground......
I really can't afford to hurt~!
Maybe the officer's performance was indeed in place, or maybe Archbishop Sandos was too excited to care.
So he tilted his head slightly and looked up at the top of the tent at a forty-five degree angle, his eyes moistened, as if he could see through the cowhide tent and see the sky outside.
He paused for a moment, and then said slowly and emotionally in a thick bass: "At this moment, at that moment, the tall image of our beloved Pope Xià and the wise and wise Deputy Commander-in-Chief appeared before my eyes.
Under their warm and encouraging gaze, I suddenly came to my senses.
Then I thought to myself: Yes~! It doesn't matter if we are tired or hurt, the key is not to disappoint His Majesty and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
When I think of His Majesty's unreserved trust in us, I feel that my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, and even my old stomach problems for many years have suddenly improved.
A little enemy is nothing, with the support of His Majesty. It's three times more, no, ten times more, don't be afraid~!
Thinking of this, my blood boiled for a while, and I didn't care about any victory or defeat, and as soon as I shook the reins, I rushed forward. ”
A group of officers hurriedly slapped their asses and shouted loudly.
"Your Excellency is wise, you take the lead, and your bravery saves our legion at once. ”
"Yes, yes, at that time, I was desperately looking at the enemy in front of me and the enemy in the back, and I thought that I was about to be defeated again, but when I saw the adults rushing forward first, the hearts of the brothers were immediately settled. ”
"Seeing the sassy and heroic posture of the adults galloping on horseback, we know that this time, our four legions will definitely not be defeated~!"
"That is, at the critical moment, it still depends on your lordship to turn the tide. ”
“...............”
For a while, the eulogies were flooding, and sycophants were flying.
Archbishop Sandos's back molars were exposed, but he still looked modest, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Brothers, brothers." This is all because of His Majesty's encouragement to us, and I would like to thank His Majesty and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief first. And then it's up to us brethren to work together. ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that they shouted in unison: "Yes, I want to thank Your Majesty~!"
"That's right. We have been able to achieve the results we have achieved so much because of the support of adults. ”
“...............”
Listening to the words of his officers, Archbishop Sandos nodded with satisfaction: Ji climbed to his current position, and the archbishop has also been immersed in the officialdom of the Holy See for many years. The old fritters are ringing.
The most important thing is to keep your mind clear.
No matter what achievements have been made, it must be emphasized that to succeed, the first thing to rely on is the attention and support of the leaders, and then to say that their own team efforts, this order must not be reversed.
Otherwise, it is a political mistake.
In the eyes of others, it is a sign of pride and complacency.
As long as someone crooked his mouth "only played a draw, he didn't know who he was, he was proud and complacent, and he had no leader." Soaring. Ill-intentioned ......"
But the slightest hint of these words reaching the ears of an adult is enough for him to drink several pots of good food.
Although Archbishop Sandos is not very good at military skills, he has been in the organization of the Holy See for 20 years, and this is very clear about his political consciousness and the truth of how to deal with people.
"We must tell my brothers that no matter what the grandson asks, we must first thank His Majesty the Pope. ”
Although he listened to everyone's words, Archbishop Sandos was still a little uneasy, and earnestly reprimanded the officers.
"Don't worry, my lord, our Holy See army is all cultural people. Pull out a random person, and the fourteen-line Latin hymn can be memorized for several paragraphs.
It's different from the group of dead hills who don't recognize a single big character.
The brothers still have this realization. ”
"Hmm" Archbishop Sandos nodded with a smile, leaned back heavily in his chair, raised his hand and touched the shiny and neat hair on his head, and said with feeling: "Fortunately, I didn't lose again, and I can finally have an explanation for my majesty......"
As he spoke, Archbishop Sandos's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red again: the pressure on the archbishop himself has indeed been great for some time.
Since coming here, I have done a fight first, and it has left a bad impression on Lord Luo.
Later, when I participated in the exercise, I fought and lost again.
It's so hard~!
The Fourth Legion could afford to lose, but Santos himself couldn't afford to lose.
The soldiers and officers lost the battle, and at most they were laughed at, but he Sandos had already been named by His Majesty the Pope and Lord Lorraine to express his support.
If you lose again, it will not be a person's face. It is the face of His Majesty the Pope, who is the spokesman of the God of Light in the world, that is, in the end, he loses the face of the God of Light.
Not to mention that Archbishop Sandos is not bold, even if he is a dog and dares to damage the face of the God of Light?
For the sake of his own future, Archbishop Bados must also hand over an impressive result to thank His Majesty the Pope for his trust and for the favor of the God of Light.
Otherwise, then Hell will have to make an exception and build a high-end V luxury package service for him.
During this period of time, Archbishop Sandos was under tremendous psychological pressure in his heart, and this pressure could not be told to others, so Archbishop Sandos could only work hard, detect the opponent's movements, conceive a battle plan, and repeatedly think about the gains and losses of victory and defeat.
A well-watched draw finally made Archbishop Sandos breathe a sigh of relief.
Archbishop Sandos smacked his lips, feeling as if something was missing, turned his head and thought about it, suddenly patted his head, and said, "How can there be no wine at this time." ”
The officers under his command looked at each other, smiled bitterly in unison, and some even licked their lips, and then sighed helplessly.
There is no alcohol in the army, which is the common rule in the armies of all countries.
It is still difficult for the army to transport grain and grass, not to mention that the liquor used to transport the liquid occupies a space, and it is troublesome, and it is very easy to wear and tear, not to mention the logistics soldiers who transport the liquor, they must be able to steal the liquor or sell it for money. It's purely a thankless task.
The most important thing is that all the bosses know that drinking is wrong. If the soldiers were allowed to drink and they lost the battle because of it, it would be a big loss.
It is also against military law for soldiers to drink alcohol during wartime, and they will be severely punished if caught.
So when the army marches to war, there will be no wine in the legion. The ban will only be lifted when trimming.
But once Desheng returned, all kinds of fine wines were offered again.
For soldiers, if you want to drink, you should fight hard.
Of course, this rule does not matter to the senior officers, and it is too normal for the officers to carry a few bottles of wine in their luggage when they are fighting.
These officers and soldiers used to like to find a tavern to have a few drinks when they had nothing to do, and some of them were even addicted to alcohol.
But for more than a month, the Fourth Army has not been drunk.
It's okay not to mention it, as soon as Archbishop Sandos brought it up, everyone called out the wine worms in their stomachs, and even Archbishop Sandos felt a little dry.
Archbishop Sandos slapped his thigh, then pointed to the quartermaster officer, and said, "Who, Ampere, I will pay for it, you go to the town and buy all their wine, and get some pigs, beef and mutton, and treat the brothers well." ”
The subordinates naturally slapped their farts wildly and praised the "wisdom of adults" in unison.
The Archbishop of Sandos personally took out of his pocket, and the quartermaster received two thousand gold coins, and walked quickly towards the town with a group of soldiers.
The soldiers of the Fourth Legion heard that they could drink a drink in the evening, and some said that if we could drink twice as much every day, maybe we would have defeated the Ruman Legion long ago.
Thousands of people up and down the Fourth Army stared at the camp gate and waited, waiting for the quartermaster to come back with wine, so that they could drink bitterly and let out the sullenness of this period of time.
Soon several people appeared at the camp gate.
"It's back, it's back. The soldier shouted and squeezed up, ready to see the right time, grab a bucket or two and take it back to have a good time, anyway, there are so many people, the quartermaster will not see who took it.
But when everyone surrounded the quartermaster, they were surprised to find that the quartermaster and his party were completely empty-handed, and there was nothing on the cart they pulled out.
"What's going on?" said Archbishop Sandos, who walked out of the crowd.
He had been making his rounds around the camp just now, and was about to give an enthusiastic speech to the soldiers before serving the drink, to boost the morale of the soldiers, but he was surprised to see that they had brought nothing back, which made Archbishop Sandos feel very embarrassed.
Archbishop Sandos secretly said in his heart: It shouldn't be, that town is not small, at least there are three or four thousand people, it is impossible not to have a few taverns and restaurants, and there are wineries.
Archbishop Sandos was well acquainted with the terrain of the vicinity, and he knew very well that there were several wineries growing grapes near the river valley, each of which had a stock in the kiln.
With a helpless expression on his face, the quartermaster stretched out his hand to Archbishop Sandos and said, "My lord, we have walked around the town, and every tavern is open. ”
Archbishop Sandos frowned and said, "Won't you knock on the door?"
The quartermaster said: "Knock, my lord, we knocked on every tavern and restaurant, and ran all the wineries, and we shouted for a long time and none of them opened." ”
Archbishop Sandos wondered, "Is there no one in the town?"
As the saying goes, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and the archbishop also knows that civilians are very afraid of being soldiers, and when they see an army nearby, the first thing they think of is to desert from the army.
The quartermaster said angrily: "My lord, this is what puzzles the brothers, there are obviously people in the house, but no matter what we call it, they won't open the door." ”
Archbishop Sandos touched his head puzzled and said, "Didn't you say that you paid for it?"
The archbishop secretly said in his heart, is it that these guys are used to it, and they plan to directly rob people's things, and then hack the money I gave?
Well......... , most likely~!
Archbishop Sandos has seen too many such things in the Holy See, and he himself has not done it, after all, this method of making money is an unspoken rule that everyone knows.
Archbishop Sandos looked at the quartermaster with suspicion.
The quartermaster was so embarrassed that he couldn't laugh or cry, and explained with a wrinkled face: "My lord, we said it, I even said it, we added 30% to buy their things, but even that, they didn't open the door." ”
"Didn't you tell who you were?"
"Yes, my lord, when we enter the town, we say that we are old and peacekeepers, but the quartermaster's expression is a little strange.
"But what?" said Archbishop Sandos hurriedly, "you say." ”
The quartermaster pondered: "As soon as we talked about our own peacekeepers, the people in the town ran home, and all the doors were locked. ”
"How can this be reasonable~!" Archbishop Sandos shouted angrily and said: "We have drifted across the sea thousands of miles away, and we have been exposed to wind and rain, marching and fighting, and even suffering hail, for what?
It's not for the sake of these Almohads, who dare not welcome Wang Shi?
How unreasonable~!
A bunch of dead people have no consciousness at all.
Bastard, bastard~!"
The officers and soldiers were also excited, and the peacekeepers from top to bottom shared the same idea, and they had come to help the Almohads.
These Almohads should be grateful to Dade and eat pot pulp to welcome the king. If you don't welcome it, forget it, look at us and still run away, what do you think of us.
Did the devil enter the village?
It's really unbearable, but uncle can't bear it.
Besides, everyone is waiting for this little wine to have a good time, and it's not that you don't pay for it, are you Almohads?
Queen Isabella still has to obediently let our commander-in-chief bubble~!
It's against you.
Archbishop Sandos rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, let's go to the town to reason with the Almohads and engage in pro-people activities." ”
"Okay~!"
Archbishop Sandos drove out of the camp with a large group of soldiers, and marched towards the town with torches.
The town was as the quartermaster had said, and it was so dark that nothing could be heard except the barking of dogs.
But Archbishop Sandos could clearly feel that someone was watching them through the cracks in the doors and windows.
Archbishop Sandos suddenly felt like he was in enemy-occupied territory.
Archbishop Sandos led his men around the town, not even a single lighted courtyard was seen.
"Go and get the mayor for me. Archbishop Sandos ordered to the officers behind him.
The officer scratched his head and said suspiciously, "But my lord, we don't know where the mayor is?"
"That's still the need to ask," Archbishop Sandos glared at his subordinates, "the biggest house in town." Also, I asked you to ask me not to use violent means. ”
"Yes, sir. The officer answered, embarrassed and led a few people to carry out the task.
This town is dark, every house is locked up, and you can't use violent means, but you have to invite people over, what should I do?
The officer went in confusion, and after a while, there was a shout from not far away.
"Caught, caught. ”
"Let you run for me, and run~!. ”
Soon after, a man of about sixty years old surrounded by a group of people came to Archbishop Sandos.
Archbishop Sandos looked him up and down a few times, and saw that the old man was obviously frightened, and bent his waist, and when he saw Archbishop Sandos, he bowed down and shouted to everyone, "Meet the general, meet the general." ”
Archbishop Sandos took out the smiling face that he had cultivated hard when he was a priest, walked up to the old man, took his arm, and said gently: "Hello old man. ”
The old man hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello General." ”
Archbishop Sandos said: "Old man, Lou is a peacekeeper, do you know the peacekeepers?"
"Yes, yes, know, know. The old man said tremblingly.
Archbishop Sandos patted the mayor's hand and said, "We're here to buy something with everyone, huā money to buy something, you go and call everyone out." ”
As he spoke, Archbishop Sandos grabbed a handful of gold coins and shoved them into the old man's hand.
The old man said, "Don't dare, don't dare," and glanced at the coin in his hand out of the corner of his eye.
Feeling the weight of the pressing hand in his hand and the golden light reflecting the firelight, the old man straightened his chest suddenly, and his face instantly showed a greedy expression, exclaiming: "Gold~!"
Archbishop Sandos nodded and said with a smile: "We are really here to buy something, don't worry, go and call everyone out." ”
Archbishop Sandos knows very well that no matter how hard the truth is in this world, it is not as hard as real money, and no matter how good his eloquence is, it is no better than pearls and gems.
The old man bowed down respectfully and said loudly: "Yes, yes, I'll go to 1 villain." ”
Then the mayor of the town struck a gong and made a bell-like sound, followed by several soldiers of the Fourth Legion, who shouted loudly along the street: "Folks, folks, come out, the old and the troops will not grab food." ”
Archbishop Sandos smacked his lips, how could he think that something was wrong with the old man's words. !!!
