Sandos carried the beautiful long sword at his waist, his hand resting on the hilt, and walked through the soldiers with his head held high.

Although at this moment, the image of Archbishop Sandos is somewhat miserable: the right eye circle of the archbishop is blue, and the left cheek is also swollen and high, purple and purple.

In the last battle, the Archbishop, who was so valiant, broke away from the ranks and rushed into the enemy line first, only to be surrounded by the ruffians.

was pressed to the ground and beaten firmly. And some bad guys saw his beautiful clothes and took them off on the spot.

As a result, the frightened archbishop was distracted, screaming, and struggling desperately.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the follow-up troops, he would have been stripped naked. Rao is like this, several pieces of gold and silver on his body were still taken away by the two lottery tickets (asking for monthly tickets) in Chapter 973.

Every time he thinks about it, he is resentful.

At this time, although he was not in good shape and walked with a slight limp, the heartless soldiers of the Fourth Legion did not make fun of him because of the archbishop's ridiculous image, but stood up respectfully and saluted with a solemn face.

Although another defeat was fought, the morale of the Fourth Army from top to bottom was greatly improved in the battle of Tongguò.

For the soldiers, because of repeated defeats, they have long held their breath in their chests. Now he finally fought viciously, and let out a sigh of joy.

Also tell those who used to laugh at them that the people of the Fourth Legion are not idiots and stupid soft-footed shrimps.

Although they fought another defeat, at the very least, they also made the enemy pay the price.

According to the statistics after the war, the Fourth Army still "eliminated" more than half of the soldiers of the 22nd Army Corps.

And they also vaguely realized that after this battle, it seems that they have found the tricks and methods of fighting, and they are no longer like before, headless flies running around and bumping around.

Even the soldiers of the Fourth Legion thought that if it weren't for the fact that a cavalry unit suddenly and inexplicably appeared behind them in Chapter 973 and cut off their back road, they might even be able to win and get their first three points.

Of course, this result also made Richmond Palmer of the 22nd Army lose face.

Compared to his colleagues, the dignified Richmond was almost planted in the rice bucket hands of the Fourth Legion, which would definitely become the laughing stock of those officers, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of him at the same time for a long time.

Seeing the decline and morale of his subordinates soaring, Archbishop Sandos felt more and more that his order to take the initiative to attack was wise.

Archbishop Sandos looked at the soldiers around him expressionlessly, and said secretly in his heart. "Next, we must continue to take the initiative. ”

After going around the camp, the archbishop returned to his tent and took a stand at the top of a simple long table.

Both sides of the table were already filled with officers of all ranks. When they saw the archbishop coming, they immediately stood up.

Sandos glanced at them, and saw that although the officers were expressionless, their eyes did not have the contempt that they had before, but their faces were serious and they stood straight.

Sandoz couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, this is all the result of his wise leadership this time~!

But on the surface, he didn't show it, snorted lightly, shook the cloak behind him, and sat down on the chair first, then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

With a roar, all the officers sat down.

Archbishop Sandos felt a little unaccustomed to the silence of the crowd and the silence of the tent.

In the past, the officers used to hold meetings here, but at that time they were much more casual than they are now. Holding a large water tank and drinking water, the style and discipline are not buckled, and the arms are open. Put one foot on the stool and shout loudly......

At that time, he was still a little complacent about this, thinking that it was his easy-going expression of being close to the people, but now it seems that something is not right. It should be the gang of puppies who took the opportunity to bully their rookies who don't understand military affairs.

In order to break the solemn atmosphere, he coughed and was about to speak, but the scars on his face were suddenly involved, and he gasped with a "hiss" of pain.

Then he raised his hand, carefully touched the swollen corners of his mouth, and scolded in his heart: The grandchildren of the 22nd Legion, I don't know if I hit people in the face or not, I really don't have any education~!

Look back for an opportunity to clean them up.

The officers on both sides looked at him and grinned for a while.

Like Archbishop Sandos himself, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, and some of them had a pair of dark circles under their eyes, which was obviously not lightly beaten.

In the exercises of the first two days, both sides fired real fire and shot mercilessly.

What immortals show the way, monkeys steal peaches, monkeys pick grapes and other tricks are all used. Unusually ruthless.

"Du" Archbishop Sandos just said a word, and then covered his cheeks with his hand in pain, then gritted his teeth and said softly: "Let's talk about it." You're welcome. ”

The officers looked at each other.

They were all called by the archbishop for a post-war summary meeting. But this summary meeting has never been held before, and no one knows what to say.

Seeing his subordinates' wide eyes and silent like a muffled gourd, Archbishop Sandos sighed, he now deeply understood the pressure he was under as a leader, and then said: "If you don't say it, then I'll say it first, first of all, we shouldn't attack the enemy's tightly guarded camp. ”

Cyber nodded beside him and echoed, "Yes, my lord, the brothers have not been able to rush in after attacking several times. ”

Archbishop Sandos also nodded, sighed, and said, "I miscalculated this, and then I thought about it, we should actually lure them to attack and ambush them on the road." Maybe it will be better. ”

The people under him nodded one after another and said, "What the lord said is very true. ”

"That's right. ”

“...............”

The other officer looked at the archbishop and said cautiously, "My lord, I think we should leave some people behind, as a pre-or?"

Archbishop Sandos thought for a moment, patted his head, and said, "Reserves." ”

"Yes, my lord, you are well-informed in the reserve team or your lordship. If we had left a few men behind, and the cavalry of the XXII Corps came around from behind, we would have been able to hold them back and prevent them from breaking through from the rear. ”

Archbishop Sandos wrote "Set aside reserves" in his notebook, and the book was densely filled with lessons summarized by Archbishop Sandos.

For example, the camp should be set up in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and not to go through a canyon or something.

After one person spoke, the officers put forward their opinions.

'I think we should attack at night. ”

"Attacking the camp, I think fire attack is the best. ”

"Isn't our departure distance a bit far, after the brothers ran to the camp of the 22nd Legion, many of them lost their strength, and the brothers couldn't move after fighting for a while. ”

“...............”

Archbishop Sandos wrote down the experience and advice they had summed up, and looking at his subordinates who were gradually rising, Archbishop Sandos smiled slightly and said, "That's fine, although we failed, we know why we failed, and then we learned from it and didn't make the same mistake again."

Our next opponent is the 30th Legion of Ruman, and their situation is the same as that of the 22nd Legion, how do you say we should fight?"

Cyber stood up, pointed to the hanging map, and said loudly: "My lord, according to the information from the scouts, the enemy was still more than a hundred miles away from us yesterday.

I don't think this time, we shouldn't be here and wait for the enemy to come, we should keep marching so that they can't touch our position. Then choose the battlefield that will work in our favor. ”

Archbishop Sandos frowned and thought for a while, and said, "This is the [Movement] campaign, yes, the [Movement] campaign. Our Lord Luo also said that the "Movement" campaign is to destroy the enemy in the "Movement" regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place. ”

The subordinates hurriedly patted their asses and said, "My lord is wise!"

Archbishop Sandos waved his hand without eating this, and said with interest: "Wise fart, if you want to be wise, you won't lose seventeen games in a row." Ahaha, hahahaha......"

Although he also wanted to put on the appearance of Boss Cao's broad-mindedness when he was not at ease about everything, and it was said that the laughter was still a group plus spell, which had the effect of boosting morale and stabilizing the morale of the army by thirty percent. But there was obviously some reluctance and bitterness in his laughter.

And when the officers saw the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, they all had a sneering expression, and sat there embarrassed, not daring to say a word. None of the guys jumped out to make fun of it, saying, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

At this time, I only heard a sound from outside the tent, "Report~!"

"Come in~!" said Archbishop Sandos casually.

The staff officer of the General Headquarters stationed in the Fourth Army Corps walked in with a stern expression, snapped a salute, and then said: "General, the General Headquarters has a document requesting that it must be opened by you personally. ”

Archbishop Sandos was stunned for a moment, and there was something strange in his heart: the exercises were going according to the plan of the command...

It's ongoing, and there shouldn't be new orders coming at this time.

With a stomach full of doubts, Archbishop Sandos stood up, took the sealed letter handed by the staff officer, and said, "Good work. What about the brother who delivered the letter? Give him a gold coin and let him buy a bag of good tea to drink. ”

Someone next to him said yes, then turned and walked away.

The officer executed this order with great speed. Because, as long as this time the money is given. Then next time, if there is any information, the messenger will definitely run fast.

Santos checked the seal and seal in accordance with the rules, and hurriedly opened the envelope.

The wide and thick envelope was empty, and Archbishop Sandos was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: What does this mean?

Could it be that the General Headquarters is dissatisfied with me by putting an empty envelope and letting me realize for myself?

Archbishop Sandos felt a little uneasy, and opened the envelope to the maximum and looked at it carefully.

Finally, at the very bottom, I saw two small pieces of paper.

Archbishop Sandos simply poured two pieces of paper on the table.

"This is," Archbishop Sandos looked at the two pieces of cardboard no more than two fingers wide.

Archbishop Sandos was also very familiar with this thing, and a few days ago he himself dropped 10,000 gold coins in exchange for one.

This inconspicuous piece of paper was the ticket to record the bets, and it was a bet on whether Archbishop Sandos himself could continue to serve as the commander of the Fourth Legion.

Archbishop Sandos was indignant and pressed himself 10,000 gold coins, according to the odds at the time, if he had withstood all kinds of destruction and ridicule from various Red Legions, he finally persevered.

Then Archbishop Sandos will get rich overnight, because the odds at that time were betting on the archbishop not leaving, one hundred and two.

However, after staying in the house, Archbishop Sandos regretted it that day, it was a full 10,000 gold coins, and now he only had a few coppers left in his wallet.

The officers on the left also poked their heads out and looked hard, and when it became clear that it was just two gambling tickets that everyone was familiar with, they were as puzzled as Archbishop Sandos.

The gang also stopped down, but except for Archbishop Sandos's confidant Cyber, none of them favored the archbishop himself.

Archbishop Sandos picked up the gambling ticket in confusion, and after looking at it, he froze.

The amount of money pressed on these two gambling tickets is not small, each is a full thousand gold coins, which can be regarded as a large amount of money, and these two gambling tickets are all pressed by Archbishop Sandos to persevere to the end.

Archbishop Sandos secretly said in his heart: "What does it mean that the General Headquarters sent two of this?"

Then he looked at the staff officer and asked puzzledly, "Is this ......?"

The staff officer also had a surprised expression, but he didn't expect that the urgent letter sent at the fastest speed actually contained only two lottery tickets.

Archbishop Sandos pinched up the two tickets and looked through them carefully, and soon saw a few small words on the back.

One has "Xi, Ni" written on it, and the other has Luo written in huā script on it.

He is all too familiar with the "Greetings" Sandos on the first sheet, and even the whole Holy See.

Because that is exactly the signature of Pope Gilme, His Majesty Neodos.

As a qualified junior brother, he is no stranger to the handwriting of his big boss.

The "Luo" on the other sheet is also well-known to everyone in the army because of its different penmanship from ordinary people, and the beginning of the signature of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine is like this.

Looking at the date on the ticket, the bet was placed on the day the game started in the middle of the month.

Since this era when even Vera can write beautiful huā calligraphy, Lord Lorraine's stinky characters are really untouchable, although they have practiced hard for a while under the supervision of Catherine and Adele, but the taste of writing square characters in it can't be changed.

It's like four vicious dogs grabbing bones. Even if someone wants to forge it, it will be difficult to write so ugly.

"It's His Majesty and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief" Archbishop Sandos's eyes widened for a moment, and it suddenly dawned on him, as if he had run 10,000 meters on a hot day in the 41st century, and then squatted under the air conditioner and drank cold beer.

Archbishop Sandos was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he almost didn't cry.

His hands holding the two lottery tickets trembled a little, and he secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that His Majesty and the deputy commander-in-chief have always supported me. Instead of treating us as a disgrace to the Holy See and leaving the Fourth Legion to fend for itself. ”

The depression, humiliation and unwillingness that had been holding back in the heart of the bishop Sandos instantly flew out of the clouds: "Even if these bastards bully me, laugh at me, and look down on me, what if the two bosses are optimistic about me~!"

Knowing that not far away in Hafs, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine and Pope Silme, were keeping an eye on him and supporting him with their actions, Archbishop Sandos's spirit became extremely full, excited, and even happy with his face.

Seventeen games in a row is nothing. It's 70 consecutive defeats, so what?

In these years, as long as you can enter the eyes of leadership, it is basically equivalent to being ready to be promoted.

Archbishop Sandos secretly shouted in his heart that he was glad that he was not bad, and he resisted hard, if he lost such a big person, and then patted his ass and left, he was seen by His Majesty the Pope......

The consequences are unimaginable~!

At least his political life is over, don't expect to be promoted in this life.

The officers on the left and right looked at their bosses' expressions of being green, white, and red for a while, and they were all puzzled in their hearts, and said in their hearts: What the hell is going on? Are these two gambling tickets hiding some big secret?

Archbishop Sandos took the two lottery tickets and looked at them for a long time, and finally made up his mind to pass them on to his son, then to his grandson, and his great-grandson, from generation to generation.

After a long while, he finally calmed down his excitement, took a slow breath, looked at his subordinates with a smile, and said, "Okay, let's continue the meeting." ”

Saibo couldn't hold back his curiosity, and leaned over to Archbishop Sandos, and said, "My lord, what kind of spirit has been transmitted to the General Headquarters? ”

Archbishop Sandos handed over the two gambling tickets with a precious hand, and said with a smile: "Our Majesty and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief have expressed their support for our Fourth Legion. ”

Cyber took the gambling ticket and flipped through it, and quickly figured out that the joints in it "hissed" and took a cool breath.

Like the archbishop, Cyber first felt encouraged and honored, and then secretly rejoiced. The next thought was, it looks like we're going to have to play with our lives.

The gambling ticket was passed in the hands of the officers, and then everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Archbishop Sandos.

Among the more than 90 legionnaires and more than 30 legionnaires of the Holy See, only Archbishop Santos has entered the eyes of His Majesty the Holy See, and the Holy Grace is flourishing.

"This is a thigh as thick as a T-Rex leg, and I have to hold it at this time. "The clever officer has already made plans for the future.

Everyone said impassionedly: In the future, we will follow Archbishop Sandos, we will never fight the east and the west, and we will never chase chickens if you chase dogs.

Archbishop Sandos also said that as long as everyone follows me and works hard, there will be victories, official positions, and gold coins in the future.

After the news spread, the morale of the Fourth Legion rose to the point of exploding, as if they had not just lost seventeen games in a row, but had already won against Amor and Haddou.

Archbishop Sandos took the opportunity to announce that the next opponent, the Thirty Legions~!

The Fourth Army Corps was out of camp that day, and the whole army roared as if they had eaten a stimulant, and plunged headlong into the mountains in the south. ！！！
