Chapter 702: Arrogance (Asking for Votes)

Two vermilion gates open outward, through which you can see the forest courtyard inside.

The wings of the geese on both sides of the door are lined up, and there are six big festivals on both sides, and several flags are listed behind them, and with the light breeze, the hunting flutters.

It is announced to passers-by that this is an important state institution, and that you should not enter, or even approach.

The guards on both sides are lined up in several rows, and at a glance you can tell that they are specially selected honor guards, each of whom is almost average height, tall and mighty. And all of them are distinctly clothed. Under the scorching sun, he was wearing shiny full-body armor, pressing his sword in his hand, standing solemnly, his eyes not squinting, and the sword and gun in his hand were like snow, majestic.

Although they were all silent, the evil spirit of the army was so bad that it was almost impossible to breathe. I can't help but suspect that if I approach them, I will definitely be stabbed.

Lorraine looked at this, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: It turns out that this is the main hall of the headquarters of the Janissary Admiral, the heart of the last line of defense of the Semitic royal family.

At the beginning, Lin Chong was carrying a knife and mistakenly broke into the office of the dead lieutenant, so he was taken down and assigned to the army, which is the same as carrying a machine gun into the Pentagon.

But Lorraine compared this hall with his office building in Nai'an in his heart, and then showed a trace of disdain in his eyes, and secretly scolded: What a broken hall, just the flags are colorful, looking at the ox fork a little, but this hall is not as big as its own office~

That's it, and the Admiral's Palace~

鄙shì them for a while~

The officer who led the way heard the noise behind him, turned his head, and saw Lorraine's thoughtful expression, which looked a little absent-minded, but he did not have the slightest respect for such a sacred place, as if he had walked into a garden, and the officer could not help but be a little angry.

He glared at Lorraine fiercely, and then said coldly: "Captain, please follow, don't get lost." This is the Praetorian Guard Headquarters, a military aircraft center, and ordinary people can't get close to it, so please don't make unnecessary trouble. ”

Lorraine heard the hint in his words, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Don't worry, brother." It looks like a good place, but don't forget the jì......"

He stretched out his hand and flicked it on his shoulder, showing the golden three-star bar, and then said maliciously: "I am the youngest captain of the Praetorian Guard, maybe it won't be long before I will be standing here and giving orders." Familiarize yourself with it in advance, it's not a big deal. ”

After saying that, Lorraine grinned at him.

The officer was choked and glared at Lorraine with a dead face.

He scolded in his heart: This little rascal is really shameless enough. Unashamedly, he said that he wanted to come here to give orders, and he didn't look at what place this was, the Praetorian Guard Command was a pivotal place in the entire Semitic tribe, and the people who came here were all powerful people.

You think it's a public toilet? You little captain......

But as soon as he raised his eyes and looked at Lorraine's white teeth and a hearty smile on his face, the officer was stunned again, and secretly scolded: Damn, this little captain may still be the leader of the headquarters in the future.

In any case, the man was now young, he looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was already a captain of the Praetorian Guard, commanding a squadron of soldiers, and he was also the eighth squadron of the first division of the Janissary Admiral. It is said that the soldiers and ruffians were all obedient to him, and now they are more obedient than dogs. The Admiral also knew about this matter early on, and for this reason the old guy said a few good words.

What's more, he is older than him, and he is from a professional class, although he has infiltrated the headquarters, he is good to be an official in front of the admiral. But in the past few years, he has only been promoted to one level, and he is only a lieutenant.

Maybe one day, this hateful ruffian will climb on his head, pointing fingers at him and giving orders.

Thinking of this, the officer became depressed, in the Semitic clan, this kind of thing is indeed quite mysterious, the backstage is hard and you can be in a high position at a young age, and the annoying Captain Lei Luo in front of him obviously has a backstage.

He sighed, cursed "officialdom darkness" in his heart, and then said weakly: "Captain Lei Luo, you better bless yourself through this level in front of you first." Come with me, don't keep the Admiral waiting. ”

When Lorraine heard this, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said affectionately: "By the way, brother, this time you called me in a hurry, what happened?"

The officer glanced at Lorraine, and then said coldly, "You go in, and you'll know." ”

Lorraine laughed and said, "Don't be like this, we are all soldiers, and we eat together in the pot of the Praetorian Guard, and I will keep what you have secret." Who doesn't need anyone to turn around?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a few gold coins, stuffed them into the man's hand, and said, "Take it, go back and buy a few toys for the child." ”

The officer stretched out his hand and refused, "I don't have children yet." ”

At first, he thought it was a silver coin, but then he saw that Lorraine was holding a golden gold coin, and his tone involuntarily weakened. Just this handful of gold coins will cover his salary for two months.

Although the Admiral's Mansion is full of fat, it is not his turn to be a small lieutenant, and they are low-level employees who live on their salaries, and they can get two more barrels of cooking oil at the end of the year, as if they are happy.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Lorraine took out a few more, stuffed them into his hand, and said, "Then give it to his wife." Not yet. Then give it to your girlfriend, don't all girls like snacks, buy a few snacks for your girlfriend. Don't sue me, you don't even have a girlfriend?"

The officer's saliva was about to flow down after this large handful of gold coins, he laughed dryly, and hypocritically pushed it several times, but in the end he still didn't push it, and put the gold coins into his pocket, and smiled embarrassedly at Lorraine, and then said: "It's still your real power officer's life is comfortable." Brother, it is so, I heard that you killed the battalion officer of a patrol battalion in Lindok City, and they have come to complain. Lindok's city guard directly stabbed this matter in front of our admiral. ”

Lorraine suddenly put his mind at ease and smiled lightly: "So that's the case." I thought it was smuggling...... Uh, phew. I thought it was nothing~"

The officer looked at Lorraine's relaxed face and couldn't help but wonder: "You're not nervous at all? That's a battalion officer, how can you say that you are also a formal official, you can kill it so easily?"

Lorraine laughed and said, "That dog* raised, like a blind dog, actually bullied the head of our Praetorian Guard, and wanted to play tricks on our head, of course he was slaughtered with a knife." ”

The officer was immediately startled, and looked at Lorraine with wide eyes.

Lorraine looked at him very strangely, then shook his head, and said, "I really don't understand that you people have to be cautious in the headquarters, with a look of awe, for fear of letting out a fart and smashing the ground into a pit." But others have bullied the head, but you are so timid and afraid, are you a soldier or a damn bureaucrat?

The officer was shocked again.

Lorraine smiled: "Don't forget jì, we are the Praetorian Guard, what is the most important thing for the Praetorian Guard?"

The officer hesitated, then asked, in a tone of uncertainty that he was not sure of...... It's loyalty......"

Lorraine laughed, stretched out his thumb, gestured towards the main entrance of the hall behind him, and then said loudly: "The most important arrogance of our Praetorian Guard~"

The officer couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said in a lost voice: "Arrogant...... Arrogant ......"

He looked at the pride on Lorraine's face, and said secretly in his heart: I don't think there is anything to be proud of.

The city of Akadrin is home to the most powerful nobles in the all-Semitic continent, and for them, the Praetorian Guard is a complex of guards and servants, and after serving these big men for a long time, the mentality of the Praetorian Guard is really ordinary.

Lorraine had long discovered that the Semitic Praetorian Guards did not have the courage of the Praetorian Guards of the Ruman Empire, "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", and were more like a well-equipped city guard.

Lorraine stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Do you say that our Praetorian Guard is the first army in the world, crisscrossing the continent, invincible?"

The officer nodded and said, "Of course, we are the strongest in the world." ”

Lorraine then asked, "Do you say that our Praetorian guards are always ready to go to the soup and sacrifice blood for the great things of our clan?"

The officer did not hesitate at all, immediately puffed up his chest, and exclaimed, "Of course. ”

Lorraine laughed and said, "Since we are the first in the world to sacrifice so much for our clan, then we should be arrogant, shouldn't we?"

The officer involuntarily stopped, turned his head, and looked at Lorraine fixedly, his eyes were full of surprise, admiration, and a little strangeness, and now he also felt that their Praetorian Guard should be a little more cross-legged, and muttered: "You ruffian can really break it......"

Lorraine was not angry, pointed the way ahead, and said, "Hurry up, Lord Admiral is waiting." ”

The officer came to his senses and hurried forward.

Led by the man, Lorraine walked through the hall to the side hall.

Lorraine saw that there were already two people standing in the side hall, an old man with white hair was leaning over the table, looking at something seriously, while Thors, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was wiping his neck to wink at him.

The officer stepped forward, saluted, and said, "My lord, Captain Lei Luo has brought it." ”

The old man didn't raise his head, still looked down at Wen Jiàn in his hand, and said coldly: "Got it, you go out." ”

The officer turned and went out, and closed the door again, leaving only Lorraine and the two of them in the room, and Thors did not dare to speak, but there was a anxious dart look.

The old man then looked up.

Lorraine saw that the old man was thin, with a narrow face, a big hooked nose in the middle, slender eyes, and almost all white hair.

Gazing directly at him, Lorraine felt a powerful momentum rushing towards him. Swallow mountains and rivers, destroy withering and decaying. That momentum can only be possessed by a brave warrior who has survived a hundred battles.

He couldn't help but feel shocked, although he had also seen a lot of famous and brave generals, such as Grand Duke Julian, but he had never seen a few powerful generals, if he really wanted to compare, it was only General Vabadore of Maple Leaf Danlin that could be compared.

General Vabadore has been in the killing field since he graduated from the Maple Leaf Danlin, and has fought countless battles, all of which have been killed by murder - by the way, the old fellow has been dealing with wine bottles for gout much longer than he has been riding and holding a sword.

What's more, even though that person is so powerful, he is still only a Semitic commander, although he is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but within the Semitic tribe, he is not one of the top people. It can be seen from this that heroes like him are by no means a minority among the Semites.

While thinking, Lorraine raised his hand, saluted the old man with a 'snap', and said, "General Hawkes, the subordinate Lei Luo reports to you." Then I didn't forget to add a sentence in my heart: You dog* raised.

Seeing that Lorraine was not affected by herself, Hawkes's expression was as usual, and a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes.

He suddenly threw away the pen and shouted, "Captain Lei Luo, you have done a good thing. Why did you kill the battalion officer of their patrol battalion in Lindok City? Do you know that now the lawsuit has already reached the Prime Minister's Office? ”

Lorraine shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "General, I have already warned him, saying that the ship is the military secret of our Praetorian Guard, and that grandson has no right to investigate, but that grandson still has to stick his nose into the ship of our Praetorian Guard, and instructed the army to surround us, and he has to check our ship, who knows if that son of a son is a fucking Terran spy."

I tried my best to save him a few times, and I always warned him, but the grandson Wang Ba ate thallium and was the same as iron-hearted.

I had no choice but to accompany him to watch it, and finally cut off his dog's head. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of human righteousness. ”

Hawkes was furious, slapped the table and shouted angrily, "What do you see you are doing? What military secrets, why don't I know?" Say, what are the military secrets?"

Thor hurriedly stared at Lorraine, intending to make up a reason to fool Lorraine.

Hawkes snorted coldly and glanced at it with a slanted eye.

Thor immediately turned his back to the sky, his face tense, as if a flower had grown on the ceiling above his head, and looked earnestly at the pattern on the ceiling.

Lorraine looked at his actions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This grandson, half of your money was taken for nothing, so unresponsible, you can only be such a big broken official in this life.

He took a step forward, and then said, "My lord, for those dead magistrates, even a roll of paper is a military secret~"

Hawkes couldn't help but be stunned. I sighed in my heart: What arrogance and arrogance are these words. It hasn't been heard in years.

Lorraine continued: "But since you asked, I will tell you the truth. In fact, there are no military secrets, but I just see that the brothers point to the military salary, and the life is quite poor, which affects the peace of mind training, so I found a way to ship a cargo from abroad, hoping that everyone can earn two small dollars to spend. ”

Tolls' face turned white when he heard him put the whole thing together. I almost didn't sit on the ground, and said in my heart: It's over, Lei Luo, how can you tell the truth out of your fool who lacks a heart.

Hawkes was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted angrily, "You...... You bastard, is that how you became a soldier? You actually transported goods? Transporting goods~ is it smuggling, right? Do you still have my Semitic laws in your eyes?"

With trembling hands, he pointed at Lorraine, and cried out through gritted teeth, "I...... I will deliver you to the gendarmerie, to a court-martial, to the gulag, to twenty years of hard labor, and then to a rowing boat, to be shackled in iron chains, and to be a hard boatman for fifty years......"

Lorraine waited for him to roar for a moment before he said, "My lord, I have something to say." ”

Hawkes also scolded for a long time at this time, already exhausted, panting, pressing his hand to his heart, and said, "You...... You said. But I'll tell you first, if it weren't for my bad heart, I'd ...... today I have to kill you with my own hands today......"

Watching Hawkes shouting at the top of his throat for a long time, slapping the table and glaring, but his face did not change at all, Lorraine smiled slightly, and scolded in his heart: This old guy is also an out-and-out hypocrite, and he has been calling here for a long time, and then he remembered that he had a heart attack. Grandma's, who is Meng? Sure enough, all the old fritters are mixed up.

He didn't say anything, but said, "My lord." Let me ask you a question: Was our Praetorian Guard the number one strong force in the world back then? But when did it take the turn of a group of dead pestilence students who could only read and write, and who had no other fart skills, climbed on our heads and pointed fingers?

Now even a local tax collector who can only extort extortions does not take the Praetorian Guard seriously, and dares to openly intercept the ships of the Praetorian Guard without jurisdiction.

We're still the best Praetorian Guards in the world? We're fucking inferior to the nobles' private soldiers. ”

Hawkes was suddenly shocked, his expression immediately dimmed, and he secretly said in his heart: Yes~ Where is the glory and pride of the Royal Praetorian Guard back then? Where is the momentum of the Conservative in the face of the crisis?

Could it be that with the passage of time, they have all disappeared?

Lorraine continued: "My lord, you don't open your eyes to see. We are now reduced to living on some leftovers from handouts. Everyone was wrenching their fingers and calculating the military salary. Otherwise, you'll be hungry at the end of the month. Soldiers have to worry about the future when they go into battle, and who dares to fight hard? What can such a legion do when it is brought out?

If you can't eat enough, can you fight?"

Hawkes was speechless for a moment, but then he slapped the table and said loudly, "Qubble, quibble, you're quibbling." I have to uproot all of you guys who have shaken the morale of the army, and I can't leave you black sheep to do any more ...... here."

Lorraine said with a straight face: "Yes, my lord, the mastermind is Miss Lufian first, she knows that her grandfather is not in good health, so she has always wanted to buy him a Saracen's war horse." The horses are not fast, but they are extremely smooth. It can reduce a lot of turbulent suffering. ”

Hawkes sneered and said, "What's the use of you introducing me to horses." I want ......"

He suddenly understood, sat down at the moment, and said with a strange look on his face, "Lufian, Lufian, Farace, my granddaughter?"

Lorraine said, "It's not just her, but also Doresie, Miss Pat......"

Hawkes patted his head and muttered, "The granddaughter of the chief grown-up......"

Lorraine continued, "Also, Miss Carey, Miss Julie, Miss Hillary, ......."

He said several names, although Hawkes was not very familiar with them, but he also knew that they were all the granddaughters and granddaughters of those well-known magnates in the imperial city.

Tolls was also stupid, he had heard Lorraine say such things before, but when Lorraine joked. Hawkes believed Lorraine, because his granddaughter had always said good things about Captain Raylo in front of him, and he knew that the princesses of the Imperial City had always been mixed up.

Hawkes calculated in his mind how much trouble he would cause if he really pursued it. When he thought of the consequences, he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

What's more, even his granddaughter is involved, and he can't sit idly by.

He looked at Lorraine and scolded in his heart: I really didn't see it, this young ruffian can really toss~ He actually pulled so many people into the water.

He snorted coldly, then shifted the subject away and asked a topic of his greatest interest, "That horse is really of Saracen's blood?"

Lorraine smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord." Absolutely purebred Saracen warhorse. And it's two. If it's fast, it'll come with the next boat. You'll know it at first sight. ”

Hawkes was overjoyed and couldn't help but lose his voice: "So fast?"

But then he came to his senses, hurriedly coughed lightly twice, and covered up his face: "Even if it's too fast, it's not good, pay attention to safety." ”

Lorraine suppressed his smile, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, yes......"

At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then I heard a herald shouting: "The chief has arrived~"

Hearing that voice, Hawkes couldn't help but tighten, and found that it was too late to let Lorraine and the two exit from the main entrance, so he waved his hand and let them walk out through the small door next to them.

When Lorraine walked out, he did not stay away, but turned around, and under the astonished eyes of Thors, leaned over the door, and listened attentively to the conversation inside.

Tors was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and then leaned on the door and listened.

I heard the angry voice of a strange old man in the room: "What kind of are you doing?" There are some military secrets, mysterious and secretive. I have to slaughter the battalion officer of a patrol battalion, do you know that this is very troublesome, and the lawsuit has now reached the Prime Minister's Office. ”

Hawkes also didn't give in, slapped the table, and shouted: "My lord, for those dead magistrates, even a roll of paper is a military secret~."

Was our Praetorian Guard a well-known force in the past, the world's number one strong army? Now it is the turn of a group of dead pestilences who can only read and write, and who have no other fart skills, have climbed on our heads and pointed fingers?

Now even a local tax collector who can only extort extortions does not take the Praetorian Guard seriously, and dares to openly intercept the ships of the Praetorian Guard without jurisdiction.

We are still the number one Praetorian Guard in the world, and we are even fucking inferior to the nobles' private soldiers~

Grandma's, it's too much of a bully~

If you want me to say, it's good to kill, it's wonderful, if I'm on the scene, I have to slaughter them all~"
