Lorraine was all too familiar with that voice.

These days, the owner of that voice has been harassing him a lot. Even sometimes Lorraine has nightmares, and after being woken up, her first instinct is to go to her wallet.

You know, the owner of this voice is really not a thing. Every time I came over, I took it with food, fully carried forward the fine style of walking around without eating, and carried a lot of things, so that Lorraine himself often had to go to famine.

This also made the lord very strange: how much Catherine hated her father, the grand duke of the dignified empire, the administrator of the ten eastern provinces, the younger brother of the emperor Xià, and the father of the future emperor Xià, actually had to be shy and run to others to eat and drink, and she had to pack and take it away if she couldn't finish eating.

This is not only the face of the Ruman Empire, but also the face of the 1000 and 50 Empire, a little trouble (asking for a monthly ticket), the face of Leo and Catherine, the face of the son-in-law of Lorraine, and even the face of all the royals in the feudal era.

The dignified royal number two, how could he be so miserable, I don't know if I thought I and Catherine were bullying him as an old guy.

But then again, there's nothing wrong with that. Don't look at Julius, he is also very wise and martial, but whenever the Grand Duke's brain is hot, he becomes very unreliable, and he is nonsense.

The Grand Duke originally wanted to capture the first fortified city in the world, the city of Samarkand in Parthia, and achieve the martial arts he dreamed of.

Lead a huge army of the East, with bricks and bricks, to fight Parthia and people.

Although he was repeatedly defeated, touched a nose of ash. Usually, if you don't wait to hit the place, the logistics can't keep up.

But he was still indomitable and defeated repeatedly.

Every once in a while, you have to run over and try it. It's even better than the girl's aunt to make the Parthians have no temper at all. At this time, the Parthian general at that time, the current Parthian emperor, had a headache for a long time.

I saw it in Parthia, since you Ru Manran knew that you couldn't get in, and you still beat every year, isn't this a brain disease?

As a result, the grandson Chapter 1000 has a little trouble (asking for a monthly pass) basically once a year, and he has to go to the border with a big border, and it is not okay to prevent it.

Therefore, every year the Parthians had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources on the border with Juman, accompanying the Grand Duke Julius in this kind of war of attrition, which they saw as meaningless.

The angry Mamluk Achaemenian general was about to fall in his teeth. It's really a toad crawling on the surface of its feet, not biting, and responding to people.

If it weren't for the fact that the city of Samarkand was too important, he would have thought of throwing it in the face of the Grand Duke of Ruman and giving it to him.

That bastard in the province was always worried. He thought about being an emperor for so many years, but it turned out that he had to deal with the invasion of the Grand Duke repeatedly. There is no way to do it.

Of course, although Grand Duke Ruman could not achieve his main goal of the war - to capture the city of Samarkand, he did successfully accomplish the second goal - to wear down the national strength of the Parthians with an arms race and force the Parthians to carry the burden and race against the Ruman Empire.

Emperor Rudlun, on the other hand, has always adhered to the attitude of neither supporting nor opposing, and it was up to Grand Duke Julius himself.

Anyway, Prime Minister Russell is the iron rooster of the empire. The Archduke Julian would not be given a penny of appropriation, and the funds were raised by the Archduke Julian himself, as long as he could afford it, he would fight as he pleased.

Although the eastern provinces are in a conflicting area, the land is fertile, there are many merchants and travelers, the trade is prosperous, and there is a large amount of tax revenue every year, but it cannot withstand his reckless military toss.

The Grand Duke of Julian mobilized more than 100,000 or 200,000 people every time he moved, and continued to fight for several months, and the usual small fights were countless.

But he still didn't want to stop, he was a hands-off shopkeeper, just had fun for himself, and threw all the financial burden to Catherine.

In order to save money, Catherine can only open up and reduce expenses in many ways, and reduce the internal treasury.

The family's life is quite economical, and in order to buy a box of cosmetics, it can also make the old guy hurt like a tooth extraction.

Later, although Lorraine came up with a war game to let him know that without heavy firepower like the urban cannons, his army alone would not be able to break through the city of Samarkand, so he temporarily extinguished that idea. There have been no major battles in the past two or three years, and a lot of military expenses have been obtained from Lorraine.

Now the treasury of the Grand Duchy of Constantinople also has some money, but it is still a big gap compared to a fat and oily family like Lorraine.

After all, as a government agency, there is only a deficit every year, and there will be no surplus, which is the normal state of the government, and the Flying Eagle Group is a profitable commercial company.

In this case, there are large households to eat, and of course the Grand Duke Julian eats very happily.

But he was happy, and he kept having good things in his pocket, but Lord Lorraine couldn't stand it.

Whether it is cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, or tea, they are all high-end luxuries, and throwing one out casually is enough for a middle-class family to work for a year without eating or drinking.

Not to mention, that old guy catches whatever he takes, he really deserves to be a father and son with Leo, and he is a master at fishing things.

Even the Lord's Patek Philippe 24k solid gold and diamond watch was almost taken away, as for countless other gadgets.

Like the lighter Lorraine is hidden, for fear that it will suddenly disappear, and now it is all used by Vera to ignite it by hand.

Lorraine let out a low cry of "No, the villain has come to the door", and hurriedly gave Vera a look.

Vera hesitated.

The pure-hearted young girl looked at Shilmelia next to her with some embarrassment, but it was also the Grand Duke, Sister Catherine and Leo's father, and it was also a family.

The young master is guarding against him like a thief, it seems that he ...... It seems like ・・・・・・ maybe・・・・・・ maybe......... What's not quite right?

But seeing Lorraine's glaring eyes, in desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet, put her white and tender hand into the drawer of the desk, and then gently turned her fingers.

Half of the contents of the drawer disappeared into thin air in an instant.

Lorraine hurriedly scanned the table again, making sure that nothing good was on it.

By this time, Archduke Julius had already strode in.

He smiled as he entered the door and said, "Lorraine, have you heard, Haddou is deflated again." Hahaha......"

Lorraine could only spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing Hilmelia, Archduke Julius was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Ha, Melia is also there."

By the way, yesterday's subordinate Sander or Sang did you make another meritorious service?"

Shirmel Melia couldn't help but roll her eyes: Is there such a thing? I couldn't even remember the other party's name, so I ran over to congratulate her, obviously taking the opportunity to run over to fight the autumn breeze. It's okay not to be so obvious?

But then he smiled slightly, and said modestly: "It's Santos, it's an archbishop." But that's not much more. There are many such archbishops in our Holy See.

If he knew that His Highness praised him like this, he wouldn't necessarily be so proud that he would be so proud.......

Archduke Julius said absentmindedly "uh-huh" twice and said, "Santos, is it? It's a pleasure that guy sabotaged a hard-working operation by Harddou, and you think we should celebrate it. ”

So saying, Archduke Julian opened Lorraine's drawer as if he were in his own home, and touched it in his old position with great skill.

After hollowing it out, the Grand Duke glanced at Lorraine and said dissatisfiedly, "You are not kind......

Lorraine spread her hands and said with a wry smile: "It's really gone." ”

Archduke Julius looked at Lorraine's smoking cigar angrily, and said, "What do you have in your hand?"

Shelmelia hid her lips and snickered.

Lorraine said: "I only have a few sticks left in my hand, and there are still twenty days left in this month." My dearest Grand Duke, you can't just beat my autumn wind, you want to buy it yourself. ”

Grand Duke Julius muttered, "Who are you looking for? Hmph~!Nicole is becoming more and more unfilial now, thinking about you first when she has any good things, and doesn't care about her lonely dad at all.

The female college is not staying, I raised her so big with a handful of and urine, I really fed her for nothing......"

Lorraine listened to his complaint and couldn't help but have a headache. I secretly said in my heart: It's not because you spend too much money and mess things up.

Archduke Julius simply pulled up a chair and sat down.

Lorraine saw that the old guy was putting on a posture, and it seemed that he wanted to tell the history of the revolutionary. If I don't have some blood, I guess I'll have to wrap it for lunch, and the new Louis XIII... ・・・

He could only sigh helplessly, and sighed in his heart: Nicole and the others always say that Leo was taught by me, the conscience of heaven and earth, and that little rascal obviously learned bad from this old rascal.

Then he pretended to have a regretful expression, took out two cigars, stuffed them into the hands of the Grand Duke Julius, and said angrily: "There are so many left, and I don't have any more, you can save some use." ”

Grand Duke Julius grabbed it and whispered in his mouth, "You kid is so stingy." Don't think I don't know, be careful I sue Nicole for stealing private money. ”

Lorraine touched her nose and looked at Shilmelia in embarrassment.

Archduke Julian also turned his head and said, "Oh, Melia, today's matter is kept secret, don't sue Nicole." ”

Shirmel Melia shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't care about you, just like I didn't come today." I don't know anything, hehe. ”

Shilmelia stood up and walked out with a chuckle all the way. With this old guy, it's too much pressure.

Archduke Julian pulled out a limited-edition zippo lighter in pure gold from his pocket and shook it extremely beautifully. With a crisp sound, the lighter suddenly jumped out of the orange flame.

The Grand Duke was not in a hurry to light the fire, but closed his eyes, listened attentively, and after another breath, the lingering sound of the metal striking dissipated - this was the favorite of the 13 prisoners in the Lao He army in recent times.

When those guys are fine, they will get together and compare with their own lighters like the soldiers of the United States.

Every time it is on fire, there is nothing unusual about it. Only ・・・・・・ pay attention to the fact that only a lighter that can make such a crisp sound and lingering sound is a really good lighter. can take it out to show off the bag.

If you take one that is not brittle, it must be a fake and shoddy product like Kang Shuaifu, and everyone will despise him together~!

After listening to the sound of wind chimes, the Grand Duke smiled with satisfaction, and then brought the cigar close to the flame, lit it, took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, put his feet on Lorraine's desk, snorted comfortably, and said, "We're in a little trouble now."

Archduke Julian took something and didn't leave, that is, there was something to say, hearing Archduke Julian's words, Lorraine nodded and hummed.

Grand Duke Julius scratched his head and said distressedly: "The battle line is too long, and the front troops can't keep up with the logistics." ”

Lorraine sighed helplessly.

Now that the entire south is a battlefield, the battle line is thousands of miles long, and the closer you get to Haddou's lair, the more intertwined the battle line becomes, and the logistics supply has limited the speed of the troops' advance.

Lorraine also scratched his head in annoyance, and said, "Seeing that the number of military stations must be increased, Haddou has also been eyeing our supply depots recently." The loss of a 69th station is enough to bear, and if he succeeds a few more times, we will have to stagnate our attack. If you can't capture Harrigad, this winter will be difficult~!"

Julius thought for a moment and then turned his head, looked at the huge military map marked with various flags next to him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Haddou is now using tricks that are blooming everywhere, and his troops can be seen in the whole south, so we have to follow him everywhere to extinguish the fire, and those puppies of the new army are simply a bunch of idiots."

The larger our chassis occupies, the more scattered the forces will be. I also have to watch out for the undead to do it behind my back, and I'm feeling a little anxious right now. You said this Haddou, why is he so hard to fight?"

Archduke Julius took a hard puff of his cigarette, but accidentally swallowed it into his lungs, and immediately choked on his cough.

Lorraine smiled and said, "On the other hand, Haddou is also very good at dividing his troops. His demise was predestined, he knew it better than anyone else.

Now, the closer we get to Harua Province, the stronger the resistance we encounter, which means that we are about to pierce Haddou's armor. As for the undead, you can ask the Holy See for help.

As long as Haddou didn't want to be slaughtered by his own people, he didn't dare to let the undead see the light, he would hide them to death.

In this case, he can cause a lot of trouble, but it is only trouble. ”

Grand Duke Julius nodded approvingly, if Haddou dared to openly collude with the undead, then this battle would be won without their peacekeepers, and Haddou's men would slaughter Haddou.

After all, the contradiction between humans and the undead is a major issue of right and wrong that relates to the bottom line.

Lorraine nodded to the map on the table and said, "The strikers are approaching the gateway to Harua, Desai, but progress is getting slower and slower.

These guys only know how to bombard with artillery, and I gave them the artillery, not for them to use it for fun.

The shells were all in the millions, but they were still hovering around Harua.

I think I'd better go to the front line in person and tell the sù gang of losers, the cannons, not that kind of fighting. You also need to sit in the rear and take command. ”

Rulu lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine." The purpose of our training team has basically been achieved, so now we can play with Haddou seriously. But before I do that, I have one request. ”

Archduke Julian looked at Lorraine with a solemn expression, and said, "Leave me enough for a month's inventory, otherwise when you leave, I will tell Nicole that your private money is hidden in the shoe cabinet." ”

Lorraine exclaimed, "How do you know?"

Grand Duke Julius spat out the smoke ring, with a vicissitudes of life on his face, and said, "Boy, those are all tricks I have used." ”

Lorraine weighed it in her heart, stood up reluctantly, walked to the bookcase, and unveiled a row of dozens of thirty-five hundred pages of theological treatises.

Such boring theological works are the safest, and Leo would not have chosen them when he took the book as a foothold.

Archduke Julius was surprised to find that the books had been cut in half, and placed in the bookcase to leave a space more than a palm's width.

Reluctantly, Lorraine took out a dark purple wooden box and stuffed it into the hand of Archduke Julius with a painful expression.

Grand Duke Julius pointed to the bookcase and said with a smile: "And that bottle of crystal Porto, you think I won't be able to see it when I tear off the label?"

In the autumn of October, the land south of Almohad is also a golden color.

The leaves of the trees turn yellow and red, and the mountains are covered with this color.

It is precisely the climate that is pleasant, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and the air is neither dry nor humid.

Autumn is crisp, and standing on the top of the mountain, you can even see the blue mountains on the horizon.

At the foot of the mountain, a long black dragon composed of soldiers was winding along the continent, with no head in front and no end in sight, and it was impossible to think about how many soldiers there were in this team.

Lorraine stood on the top of the hill, facing the autumn breeze and the bright sun, watching the legions of peacekeepers marching at his feet.

Behind him, a few local nobles with their hearts set on Queen Isabella were chanting their sour poems in praise of Lorraine and the peacekeepers.

Lorraine listened to two sentences, and they were probably crooked poems like "Horse, why are you four-legged, the sea, you are all water".

Lorraine was eager to kick them off the hill so that they could be cleared.

There were also a few people circling around Lorraine, and they kept patting Lord Lorraine's ass.

Lorraine was annoyed, and muttered to herself: Why didn't Haddou slaughter all these pups.

As soon as the peacekeepers came, these nobles left and led the peacekeepers to copy the old bottom of the local Southern Army.

A few steps away, the ladies brought by the nobles covered half of their faces with fans, flashing their big watery eyes, and firing at Lorraine wildly. Some pull the placket of their chests from time to time, revealing large areas of white and greasy skin.

Lord Lorraine had slept on the marching bed for several days, and their eyes were a little straight when they showed him.

In all fairness, these ladies and ladies are not bad, but compared to Vera next to Lorraine, it is like the difference between the stars and the moon, which is a little unsightly.

Vera is still wearing a heroic and dashing Gestapo-style black military uniform, coupled with Vera's delicate and innocent temperament, she is really charming and charming, and she is captivating the country and the city.

But no one around dared to take a second look at Lord Lorraine's little maid, so they could only sneak a glance at it when no one was enough.

Vera held the ripe mountain fruit in her hand, always intentionally or unintentionally blocking Lorraine's body, stopping the electric light radiating from the eyes of those nymphomaniac women. ！！！
