Chapter 211: A mercenary worth only one gold coin
,
From ancient times to the present day. No matter how the times change, but this sentence has never been missed.
The more pleasantly the bosses say to you, "I'm thinking about you, or something like that, the more he's thinking about his wallet."
It's just that, most of the time, as an employee, he is relatively a vulnerable group and has no strength to compete with him. Therefore, the boss pretends to think about the employees above, and the employees think about their own jobs below. You can only pretend to believe it, and that's it.
Although Leo is young. I have never heard of that universal truth. However, it did not delay the greatest political and military strategist of the future to act according to this policy.
When this grandfather saw his father's generals suddenly appear with imperial warships, the first thing he considered was not how they came, but whether they had betrayed their empire, pulled the royal fleet, and set up another mountain.
Seeing Leo so bluntly pointed out the crux of the problem, the general couldn't help but grin bitterly and said, "Grandpa." We were ordered by the duke, and then we led reinforcements. ”
Leo blinked his big dark eyes, then frowned, crossed his hands in anger, and said, "Kaput." Do you think I can just deceive? Look at these brothers, which one of them didn't cover the badge on his armor.
Please, you guys are a little more skilled, okay? The cover is not tightly covered, and it is all exposed. I don't even know how to say hello to you, pretending to be so fake. ,
The childish snort at the end. Immediately, everyone next to him smiled.
The man looked at Haolin next to him, as if he wanted to explain it to him clearly, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness."
When we saw the wolf smoke of the Maple Leaf Danlin, we learned that the Almohad Empire had blatantly violated the Maple Leaf Danlin, and everyone was very angry.
Later, I heard about it. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Lord Tzu are trapped in the city, and the soldiers are full of righteous indignation. At this time, General Vabadore issued a mobilization order, so everyone rushed to come day and night. Come and reinforce you. ”
Leo tilted his head, looked at him, and said, "Reinforcement us?" Why did you cover up the badge, and our eagle flag
He pointed to the top of his head, and then continued, "Look, the eagle flag has also been lowered." You obviously just want to change your flag."
The man smiled. Dao: Grandpa. You need to know. We signed the "Treaty of Peace and Friendship" with Almohads.
Lorraine said a treaty with such a long name in one breath, and he didn't breathe, and couldn't help but look at him in surprise. The man smiled at him and continued, "So, now the two countries have been friendly for generations. The Ruman Empire and the Almohad Empire did not regard each other as enemies, and the Ruman Empire and the Almohads had friendly relations. On the territory of a third party, the Jumandi had no excuse to go to war with the Almohads. ”
Leo couldn't help but hesitate when he heard what he said, and said, "Since we can't just send troops, then why did you run out again?"
The man blinked. smiled: "We received an order from the Grand Duke." We're mercenaries now. Therefore, it is not necessary to cover up the previous badges, so as not to cause misunderstandings and unnecessary international disputes. ”
Leo was stunned for a moment and said, "Mercenaries, what is our commission?"
The man smiled wryly. Then he slowly stretched out a finger.
Leo immediately shouted excitedly, "A million gold coins?
When he said this, he saw that the man slowly shook his head in denial, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Is it 100,000, this seems to be a little less" is not right?
He said several numbers in a row, but all of them were denied by the other party one by one, and finally couldn't help but get anxious, and said: "Okay, I won't guess it, you can tell me directly, how much is it to sell us?"
The man smiled faintly. Dao: "One gold"
Leo immediately felt like he had been poked in the lungs, "Whew." The ground jumped up with a bang. Now as the general manager of Flying Eagle Company, he knows a lot.
Immediately pointed at the man, and shouted angrily: "You lung Kaput, I always thought you were a decent gentleman, but I didn't expect you to sell us for only one gold coin." Ha, I see, you must have received a high kickback, right?
Immediately afterwards, the next sentence revealed his true colors, saying: "Hurry up and give me a little, otherwise I will report it to the Imperial Supervision Department"
Looking at the future emperor of the empire, His Majesty, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and he was very suspicious in his heart, is there any hope for the Ruman Empire, which has been strong for a thousand years?
Leo didn't say anything when he saw him. Not by "hah. Di shouted, "You can't speak." I knew it. Quick, hurry up and divide me a little, or I'll go to the Imperial Inspectorate to report you." ”
Kaput watched him stretch out his fat hand and openly ask for a bribe from him, and let out a long sigh helplessly, "I also want a kickback, but this price is set by the Grand Duke himself." ”
Leo froze, and immediately became depressed. He crawled to the side weakly and said, "You said it earlier, I was happy for a long time in vain." ,
Kaput bowed. said: "I'm sorry to disappoint Your Highness." ”
With that, he threw a disgruntled glance at Lorraine. Obviously, he knows who this grandfather is learning from now.
Lorraine smiled slightly, glanced at the cloud-like battleship outside, and said, "I didn't expect that the military appearance of our empire's naval warships is at its peak, and it looks like a fine at a glance."
Kaput waved his hand again and again and said, "Lord Count has misunderstood, we are not the Imperial Navy now, we are mercenaries hired by General Vabador, and we still have a contract." Please take a look at this
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lorraine's smiling gaze, and then understood Lorraine's subtext: the Grand Duke was limited by the treaty of "Ten Thousand Years of Friendship", but in order to make a stumbling block for the Almohads, he shot them in the back with a black gun and released a cold arrow, and pulled out the imperial fleet with only one gold coin, which can be so shameless.
Thus. Leo, this fart kid is so shameless and shameless, it wasn't from me that he learned it, but their family's genetic inheritance. Thinking of this, Kaput's eyes couldn't help but flicker with cold light, and finally smiled bitterly and said, "Count Lorraine, the prestige of the Dragon Cliff Grass family is indeed well deserved. ”
Lorraine snorted and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome." Hahaha"
He suddenly remembered something, pointed his finger at the battleships outside and drew a large circle, including them all, and asked, "Except for ours, other people's warships won't come like this, right?"
Kaput thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much." They used to take advantage of their naval superiority, often robbing the merchant ships of other countries at sea, and later became more and more rampant after they got their hands on it.
Now Aunt Madido has no sea except for the sea turtle that has not been robbed by them. When everyone mentions these guys, their hateful teeth itch, and they all cramped to trouble them. ”
When he said this, he laughed first and said: "Now there is an opportunity, of course, all rush to come over to take revenge, we are still good, at least there is a gold coin honorarium." There were also people crying and shouting that even if they gave a few more money, they would run over and do their vote. ”
Vabadore next to him gave him a stern glance and said, "Kaput, you forgot about the graduates who were angry because of the Almohads invasion. They are the main force of our fleet. ”
Kaput bowed and said, "Yes, Dean." Thanks for the reminder. ”
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh when she heard this. Obviously, "the wall is falling and everyone is pushing it." "Seeing that this side has an absolute advantage, as long as it has a little strength, if you don't know how to take the opportunity to coax the seedlings." If there is a little benefit from the middle, it is the product of consanguineous marriage. ”
Right now. I heard a loud cheer from the front.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that a group of warships had already spread out, and all the remaining ten or so warships of the Almohad Empire were encircled in an arc, seeing that they could no longer escape.
With the order of Vabador, the battleships in front opened fire on the enemy, and the officers of the navy who pursued the "Giant Ship Cannon Doctrine" were the favorite. It is the most money-burning, but at the same time, it is also the most boring artillery battle. In order to be able to escape, Almohads also did not return fire to block the movement on this side.
At this time, the Almohads have been trained for a long time, and the strength advantage over the fleets of other countries has appeared,
The two sides exchanged fire for several minutes, and several ships of unknown countries or local lords were wounded and caught fire, and withdrew from the battle.
But fortunately, there were many people here, and at that moment, a few more battleships rushed up, made up for the formation, and continued to fire, which was quite like punching the old master to death.
After a few more minutes, the Almohads were finally outnumbered, and several warships were shot and set on fire. Then stopped. The white flag was raised high.
The crowd watched. There was an immediate burst of cheers, morale soared, and experience points soared.
The rest of the warships were also scarred, but they were also extremely strong, and as long as they could still move, they desperately fled, never giving up the last glimmer of hope.
However, General Vabador was experienced, and commanded the battleships to shrink the encirclement unhurriedly, firmly covering them, without revealing the slightest flaw.
The Almohads Imperial warships were bullied by them so miserably that they caught fire and stopped. It can only be a surrender with a raised hand. In the end, only the flagship under the seat of old Despi remained.
The crowd watched. couldn't help but scream, and he was about to rush over and beat him to death with a stick.
That's when it happened. Just listen to the sound of a horn on the flagship.
Everyone was surprised by the sound of the horn of the retreating soldiers, and they couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately afterward, the sound of the horn turned and became severe, and the warships could only curse angrily, stopped, and watched the other slip away from under their noses.
Lester watched from afar on the flagship. Seeing that situation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Vabador with a displeased face, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, what do you want?"
When he said this, he suddenly saw a smug and cunning smile on Vabadore's face, and he was immediately stunned, and secretly said in his heart: This old guy took the wrong medicine?
He had been fighting with Wabadore and Obakhim for most of his life, but after thinking about it in his heart, he immediately understood his intentions, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You cunning old dog
Leo watched the battleship calmly escape, slowly shrinking, and finally turned into a black spot in the sky, couldn't help but slap the railing, looked back at Vabador, and rebuked unceremoniously and angrily: "I said, old man, why did you suddenly order not to be chased? Could it be that you also ate their kickback?"
Vabador and Lester looked at each other and smiled, then said lightly, "Yes, you guessed right. I was about to eat them hard. ”
Leo was stunned. Qi said: "What do you mean by this?"
Vabador turned to look at Lorraine and said, "What do you think?"
Lorraine lowered his head and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Dean is really scheming, admire and admire." ”
Vabadore's face was calm, apparently guessing that Lorraine would see through his intentions. I couldn't help but sink again. Then he said, "Admire, where do you admire me?"
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the battleships that were overwhelming and scattered in sight. Said: "I saw the summons of the Mechanical Ye Danlin." Everyone had a sincere heart of wealth and gathered to help. Although the first war was successful, but when people came, we can't let people run empty.
But we can't pay for it ourselves. Only to find the Almohads who provoked the war. If we don't let him go, we won't have an excuse to fight with them, grab money and things.
If they were to be wiped out here, their emperor would say that the old guy would be a temporary worker. Those actions were his personal actions, and then he picked himself clean, and everyone didn't have to play, and now the old guy ran back. There's no excuse to talk about.
When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, and then looked at Vabadore with a look of adoration, and exclaimed loudly: "Grandpa, you really deserve to be the dean of my boss, and you are really an old villain." Such a treacherous trick, you come up with it in the blink of an eye. It's amazing, it's amazing."
When everyone heard his words, they were all choked with saliva at once, and they almost didn't die of it.
Lorraine sweated profusely, accompanied by a smile, and said to everyone: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, haha." Hahaha,"
Kaput looked at Lorraine's embarrassed appearance, and suddenly felt that he was wiping his ass for his grandfather. It was indeed a very difficult thing, and he couldn't help but pat Lorraine on the shoulder sympathetically.
Vabadore didn't think it was wrong, laughed, and said, "Almohads actually dared to sneak attack the maple leaf danlin and provoke a war. Then let them know what the consequences of offending us are!"
When he said this, his voice changed sharply, and then he stood up and commanded in a loud voice, "Pass my orders." The whole army turned to the Maple Leaf Danlin. Let's rest and reorganize, and attack Almohads with all our might!"
Everyone agreed, turned to leave, and went to their posts.
Immediately afterward, the horn sounded. All the battleships slowly turned, and then headed towards the Maple Leaf Danlin. Reminder of intermission
Due to the great increase in their own strength, when passing by the Duchy of Portores, everyone's memory suddenly became very good. It immediately remembered that they had aided the abuse, let the Almohads cross the border, and had not yet warned the Maple Leaf Danlin.
Immediately under the leadership of General Vabador. A group of ruffians ran over and knocked on the grass on the wall.
As a typical opportunist, Grand Duke Portores naturally understood in his heart that such a big thing had happened this time, and in order to prevent the Maple Leaf Danlin people from throwing fire on their heads, he naturally gritted his teeth and tried his best at this time.
After a series of bargaining on the ground, the two sides finally got up and left satisfied, amid the bitter pleading of the Grand Duke of Portores, "Everyone, please, leave me a pair of bottoms."
However, since the port of Maple Leaf Danlin could not stop such a large number of warships of the coalition forces, a large part of the warships were transferred to the ports stationed in the Duchy of Portores.
At the moment, the fleet split into two parts, one turning around and heading back, the other with its sails furrowed, sailing down the river to the still water lake, and collecting the surrendered Almohads along the way.
One hundred and ten warships were wounded in various ways. Quietly stop on both sides of the river.
The Almohads on the ship were dejected. It doesn't matter if we are defeated, our skills are not as good as left, and the general in command is two hundred and five. It's nothing to be chased and beaten, after all, everyone is a soldier, either you beat me or I beat you.
Besides, they are also used to being beaten by the people of Quan Ye Danlin. What they were extremely aggrieved was that they surrendered and were ignored, and they were directly pushed aside by the Ye Danlin people, and they had to wash themselves in vain, and honestly stay here and wait for someone to come and surrender.
It wasn't that they didn't think about jumping into the water and running away. But now is the coldest time of winter, and the blizzard the night before has scared them out.
And here is far from the Almohads Empire, across a wide ocean, they have no food. Without supplies, if you can't run dozens of miles, you will be caught. Good luck point, send back the machine Ye Danlin to receive the reward. Point back. Maybe you will be killed directly by someone as a bandit.
One hundred and ten battleships were towed behind the Great Army. Due to the lack of manpower, most of the captives had to take charge of their own ships and send themselves to the prisoner-of-war camps in Phi Ye Danlin.
Lorraine saw that it was not too far from the castle. He said to a mage beside him: "Find someone who is quick and go back to report the good news, we have completely annihilated the Almohad invaders." "I'll go, I'll go." "A mage didn't wait for others to speak, and rose into the air and headed for Lou Ye Danlin
Go.
When the fleet sailed into the still water lake and slowly approached the harbor, everyone on the ship saw a maple leaf Danlin man standing on the harbor.
When they saw the fleet with the rough maple leaf danlin flag, they came out of the mountains and shouted the cheers of the tsunami. Some people threw their hats into the air, and some people desperately waved the flag of the maple leaf danlin.
Catherine and the others were also in the crowd.
Follow Lorraine to join the people in pursuit. Also screaming and jumping on the boat.
They have this qualification, because they have won a big battle.
But that's not all, the next step is to burn the war to Almohad, so that those war movers can taste the taste of being invaded (to be continued)
