Chapter 689: The Royal Guard (Asking for Votes)

Lorraine walked straight to the gate of the Praetorian Guard.

The guards on duty at the gate saw that he was dressed as a Praetorian Guard officer, and at first they did not pay attention when Lorraine came back from outside.

Compared with the tens of thousands of garrisons and thousands of officers, there are still people transferred in and out from time to time, and it is too normal for a few fresh faces to appear.

When Lorraine came to him, the guards on duty were a little strange, "There are many officers in the guard station, but they are so young, it seems that they have never heard of it."

Several of the guards looked at each other in surprise, then at Lorraine, who had walked in.

Lorraine came to the gate of the camp and asked the soldiers on duty, "I'm here to report, who should I go to first?"

Several soldiers looked Lorraine up and down, but without answering Lorraine's words, they turned and ran straight behind.

It made Lorraine a little confused, and she was stunned at the door.

Soon, an officer followed the soldier, and when he came to the opposite side of Lorraine, like the soldier just now, he looked Lorraine up and down first, and saw a young officer in his early twenties standing in front of him, and he was very surprised at the moment.

You must know that the army is synonymous with conservatism, and in non-war times, seniority is the rule in the army, and it is extremely rare for such a young person to climb up in the army and become a captain officer.

Especially with such a white face. And into the Praetorian Guard. It's hard to believe.

It's not that there are such young middle and high-ranking officers, and there are, but they are all big nobles such as princes and lords, and they are all well-known public figures in Acadrine.

The officer looked at Lorraine very much.

He immediately took Lorraine's registration order, looked over and over again, and almost didn't see a flower on it, and then asked Lorraine a few words very carefully, such as where he came from, where he stayed there, when he came to the imperial city, and a bunch of trivial questions.

The people next to him even thought that he was interrogating a thief, and it was too rude to a fellow officer, maybe the person opposite would think that he was deliberately making things difficult, and he would throw white gloves and fight him in a one-on-one duel.

But to their disappointment, Lorraine was silent, just indifferently answering one by one, without any impatience at all.

This couldn't help but disappoint the people who were waiting to see the excitement, and even got up with Lorraine: The officer, he is so soft, it seems that this white face must have no ability. The captain's official position may have been obtained by some nepotism.

The officer had confirmed by this time that Lorraine had indeed come to report, and although he was strange, he still took Lorraine's letter to report it.

As Lorraine stood by the door, he heard the officer muttering discontentedly as he walked away, with the pride peculiar to a soldier: "The Praetorian Guard has really become a hodgepodge, and everyone mixes sand into it." This kind of white-faced officer actually wants to go inside, what is the matter......"

Lorraine looked at his back, couldn't help but sneer, and said secretly in his heart: Uncle reported on the first day today, and I didn't want to be angry with your grandson, which ruined my good mood.

But you, a grandson, dare to call me a white face? I remember your grandson. A second lieutenant captain actually dared to say this, girl, don't look at the uncle, I'm here to lurk, after I turn around, uncle, after I take office, I must clean up your toilet for at least a month.

After a short time, the man came out again, looked at Lorraine with a look of surprise and unwillingness, his expression was even more surprised than just now, as if he had seen a monster, and finally reluctantly gave a military salute, and said, "Captain Lei Luo, my lord, please." Please follow me. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved.

These Praetorian Guards officers and soldiers have lived under the imperial city for a long time, although they are not as good as the paparazzi of later generations, but their sense of smell is also extremely sensitive, and their political consciousness is quite high.

In institutions such as the military government, which are highly hierarchical and hierarchical, great attention is paid to hierarchical differences. Superiors have almost absolute command power over subordinates.

Words like 'please' are not something that can be said casually.

Especially if the superior uses this word for the subordinate, even the superior has to invite you as a subordinate, which shows that the superior attaches great importance to this person.

Everyone couldn't help but be very impressed by the white face in front of them, although he was still a white face, but a white face with a lot of background.

When Lorraine stepped through the door, everyone immediately saluted him with their legs together and in high spirits. It was much cleaner than the lazy salute Lorraine had when she first came. It's like a different person.

Lorraine didn't care, just waved his hand casually, and said, "Take a break, take a break......

Then he walked in.

Everyone looked at his back, and immediately gathered together and speculated: Who is this young man? Now he actually asked the commander to say the word 'please', I heard that he was transferred from Caribbean Port, what is the background of this guy?

After listening to the discussion of the crowd, the officer sneered and said, "Your Excellency, you have returned, you are the Admiral." When I went to report, the Admiral was there, and it was the Admiral himself who said it.

Somehow, his old man is here today. I heard that person come over, asked a few questions, and then said it himself. , Lao Tzu can't see the two sides of the admiral for a year. ”

Although his words were full of sourness, everyone was shocked when they heard it. , I actually want the Admiral to say please, how big does the white-faced backstage have to be? I guess at least it has to be a big man at the same level as the Admiral, right?

At the moment, everyone is speculating whether the young man is the illegitimate son of a big man, or a person with a deep background and a tough backstage such as his brother-in-law.

The son-in-law and sister of the big names in the Imperial City, they can all be on the top of the Praetorian Guard, after all, they are all mixed in Acadrin, and the Praetorian Guard has more contact with the magnates, but they didn't expect such a number one person to suddenly appear from the Caribbean.

Lorraine didn't know about his identity, and he had already caused a stir among the ruffians of the Praetorian Guard. But knowing that he didn't care, he walked forward, led by a guard.

The open space behind the entrance of the guard station is a vast playground, thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat formation, carrying out daily drills, the black crowd can not see the edge at all, only the sword reflects the sun, the weather is forested.

Lorraine traveled all the way, and the soldiers he saw were all in good spirits, strong and resolute, and full of spirit.

And no matter what it does, the slogan is also shouted to shake the ground and shake the sky.

Lorraine looked at their appearance, but couldn't help but feel a faint strangeness in his heart, although these people were full of red light and full of energy, they looked very brave and acted very neatly. But somehow, it always gives me a very weird feeling. I feel that these people are just in spirit on the surface, but there is a faint tiredness between the eyebrows, as if they are a little cheating.

As a veteran of several big battles, Lorraine is also very experienced, and although he can't see the problem at a glance, he feels that they do have a problem.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but touch his chin and chuckle, it seemed that this place was getting more and more interesting.

Lorraine, led by the guard, walked around the playground, and after a short walk, a large hall appeared in front of her. In front of that hall, there were already countless officers, all of them in strict uniforms, standing solemnly, looking at it with a murderous aura.

In front of the hall, the wings of geese are lined up, and countless large flags are planted.

The breeze blows and hunts fluttering, and the momentum is amazing.

Although those big flags are only standing there, they give people a kind of tragic and bloody blood, the kind of murderous aura that can only be found in the rest of a hundred battles. It wasn't a bunting for decoration, it was a real military flag.

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wondering how so many military flags could be planted.

He took a fixed look, and then he realized that many of the flags were broken and damaged, soaked in gunsmoke and blood.

After many years, although the marks on those flags are no longer so obvious, the tiger is still dead, and the bloody murderous aura is still coming.

Lorraine couldn't help but be moved, and he walked over and took a closer look. Next to the flag, there was also a stone tablet with writing, silently making annotations.

I saw that it read: The 1st Division of the Royal Forbidden Army, the 11th Division Commander Marquis Garcia, died in battle under the Maple Leaf Danlin City, the 1st Division of the Royal Forbidden Army Guard covered the retreat of the whole army, and all 7,400 people in the division were martyred.

The Fifth Division of the Royal Praetorian Guard, the commander of the 9th Division, the Dark Lord of Carrosia, died in the battle of the Black Valley, and the 5th Division of the Royal Praetorian Guard held the Black Valley for three months, repelling 73 enemy attacks six times the size of the division, and killed 6,570 soldiers.

The 7th Division of the Royal Guard, the 12th Division Commander, the Dark Lord of Passalos. died in the battle at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and all the officers and men of the division were martyred......

Military flags and steles like this are lined up in two long rows.

The cold stone tablet was engraved with bloody and glorious achievements, and Lorraine couldn't help but shake his heart.

Each of the above battles was extremely hard, famous, and detailed in the Great Saint War a thousand years ago.

Due to the source of information, it is more about the specific situation on the Terran side, and very little about the Semitic side.

Lorraine knew that in these famous battles, the human race also suffered heavy casualties, and after the two sides were killed, they desperately threw their troops into this flesh mill, and finally fought a tug-of-war, with more than a dozen legions wiped out and tens of thousands of people killed on the battlefield.

Now it seems that they also suffered heavy losses in the original war.

You must know that even the commander of the division was killed, which means that the entire division has been wiped out.

These names are bloody and tragic stories.

The list here is only the casualties of the Praetorian Guard, as a reserve for every battle, even the Praetorian Guard was completely wiped out, and it is assumed that the other legions should also be killed and wounded.

That's because the demons have the advantage of technical weapons.

In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged officer saw from a distance that Lorraine did not come over, but stood there looking at the flags carefully, and couldn't help but have a trace of anger in his eyes, and opened his mouth to call someone.

But next to him, an old man with a white beard, about fifty years old, dressed in a black and red-edged general's uniform, had a hint of discoloration in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

The middle-aged officer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The old man saw his puzzlement, but he smiled faintly, then picked up the teacup next to him, blew lightly, and then said, "Tors, originally I was just curious, come and have a look." I thought that this guy was just a white face begging for someone to do things, and actually worked my granddaughter to beg for help, and my old man wanted to see what kind of white face he hadù. But now ......"

When he said this, he didn't say anything, and a strange color appeared on his face, as if he remembered something.

The middle-aged officer waited for a moment, then couldn't hold back his patience and asked, "Lord Admiral, what do you want to say?"

The old man looked at him, then froze, and then said, "Now it seems that he may really not be that simple. ”

The middle-aged officer was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

The Admiral sighed lightly and said, "When I first entered the Praetorian Guard camp, the first thing I saw was a person standing in front of those banners, carefully looking at the words on them. His expression was the same as his.

At that time, the man was also about twenty years old, and it was not long before he showed an unparalleled military talent, whether it was to suppress rebellions or crusades against foreign races, and won every battle, so he was greatly appreciated, and then rose all the way up, and before the age of thirty he had become the commander of a side with a heavy army......"

The middle-aged officer was very strange at the moment, and secretly said in his heart: Is there such a military genius in the Semitic tribe? Thirty-year-old commander? Why have you never heard of it?

Thors hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, that person is ......."

The Admiral smiled, then sighed and said, "Accatrithius, Acatatrithius......"

The Admiral glanced up at the sky and said slowly, "The most outstanding soldier of our class. ”

Torles was taken aback for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "That...... The peerless rebel who led the army to mutiny and rebelled against the High Priest of ......the Undead?

The Admiral gave him a displeased look, and then corrected him earnestly: "That is a general with great military talent, a real soldier, and a rebel...... Hmph, don't forget jì, you're a Semitic."

Speaking of which, he snorted heavily, and a cold light flashed in his originally cloudy old eyes.

The light was so sharp, even though it was still late summer and it was hot, but Thors felt like he was falling into an ice cave.

A bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily, and he said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes." It's ......"

Although this rude and straightforward soldier answered in his mouth, he was very strange in his heart: Semitic? What's wrong with the Semitic man? He's a rebellious high priest? Aren't we a family with the high priest?

At the same time, Tors suddenly thought of some absurd message, and a layer of the most terrible thought rose in the depths of his heart, but then he shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind.

The admiral looked at his appearance, couldn't help hating him, sighed, and said, "Thors, if you weren't so stupid and use your brains more in case of trouble, you wouldn't be so troublesome to take over my shift now." What kind of confrontation military exercises are you going to engage in between the four master groups......"

Thors couldn't help grinning, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, what the adults said is ......"

The admiral looked at his submissive appearance, and felt very unpleasant, but he didn't say anything, just said: "This time the confrontation military exercise, you must give ** heart, as a commander, you can't just rely on the courage of blood and qi to lead the team to charge, and more importantly, you must sit in command and dispatch troops ......"

He chattered for a long time, but when he saw that Thors was still no-no, he couldn't help nodding, but he also knew at the moment that this guy didn't listen, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

He thought for a while, felt completely interested, stood up at the moment, and shouted outside: "Come on, prepare the horses"

Someone said yes and turned and walked down.

When Tors saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "What? Are you leaving?"

The Admiral gave him a cold look and said, "Why am I not leaving? You may not have been Toba watching me leave early, right?"

He raised the whip in his hand, pointed at the school field, and said, "Don't think that when I'm old and my eyes are spent, I can't see anything." Do all these tricks you're doing work?

Don't open your eyes to see, those puppies are just barking, how many of them are really contributing?

The big-headed soldiers practiced assassination in the playground all morning, but they shouted at the top of their lungs, but they didn't even change the assassination action. The battlefield requires real skills"

Thors couldn't help but be stunned. glanced back, and sure enough, on the school field in front, those soldiers were still doing the action of raising their spears and stabbing them.

Although the officer next to him also shouted loudly, he kept sneaking his eyes to this side. That mind is not on training at all.

He couldn't help but smoke angrily, and scolded in his heart: These bastards, I let them shout louder, practice seriously, and deceive the commander. But these bitches are even going to lie to me. None of them are serious about contributing. ”

But at this time, he could only laugh dryly twice, and forcibly defended himself: "Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect, I deliberately let them practice a few more times, hahahaha......"

At this time, there were already guards who brought the war horses over. Although the Admiral was old, he was also very athletic. At the moment, he didn't need to be helped, he recognized the stirrup and pulled the saddle, and easily jumped on the war horse.

He took the reins of his horse, then turned back, pointed at Thors's chest with his whip, and said, "In the future, put your mind on the ground, and don't engage in these false things." You know?

The advantage of this person is that you are loyal and honest, and you can't play this set of cheating. If you don't even have this last advantage, you can only go so far in this life. ”

As he spoke, he flicked his whip and tapped it heavily on the collar on Thors's shoulder, and then without waiting for him to reply, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and roared "Drive".

Then the horses spread out on all fours, and galloped towards the gate of the camp.

When the horse guards next to them saw it, they also jumped on their horses and drove away. Smoke and dust were kicked up everywhere.

Tors choked on the smoke and coughed, and ate the ashes of his nose.

He stretched out his hand and hurried a few times, and saw that the admiral had already beaten his horse and flew out of the door, so he immediately made up his mind, and then ordered: "Let that white-faced lieutenant come over quickly, the lord didn't say anything, but I have to weigh his weight seriously."

Later, his face was piled up, and he smiled very cruelly.

The officers next to him were all arrogant, and it was very uncomfortable to hear that such a young man had climbed to a place where he was on an equal footing.

Not to mention, after hearing this, the Admiral also deliberately added the word 'please'. The jealous blood pressure of the soldiers soared upwards one by one. I'm bleeding from my eyes.

After listening to the commander's words, they all came to the spirit at the moment, agreed in an uproar, and then geared up and prepared.

Everyone had made up their minds that they must give the young ruffian a dismount, and let him know that this Praetorian Guard was not their country place. No matter who you meet in the future, you have to be polite and honest.

Lorraine was looking at those military flags, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves like thunder not far away, and when he turned around, he saw an old man dressed in the color of a general's uniform, beating a horse like flying past him, and hurriedly stepped aside.

When the two staggered, they invariably glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the curiosity in each other's eyes. The Admiral was surprised to see Lorraine's composure and calmness. I had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right. But for a moment, I couldn't remember it.

After galloping out for a long time, he remembered that the man's eyes were bright and clear, calm and steady, and he saw that he was not in a hurry, although he was just standing there, but the momentum was like the commander of the leading side, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, knowing that even if this kind of momentum was seen throughout the entire Semitic race, there were few people who could fight him.

I was about to turn around and go back immediately, but then I thought about it, and laughed again, how could that be possible, how could a young, sesame mung bean-sized lieutenant have such a temperament, he must have been too tired recently, so he was a little dazzled......

And Lorraine saw the curiosity in the Admiral's eyes, but it was also very strange. He looked at the other party's distant shadow, and said to himself: Why is an old man curious about himself? What does he know? How does he know about himself?

He didn't know that although his identity document was made seamlessly, ordinary people couldn't find any flaws, and on the surface, he also came up step by step in a normal way of promotion.

But the girls were too zealous, and instead helped some of them.

Now those bigwigs already know that there is such a young and promising young officer with extraordinary ability, who is already a captain at a young age.

When they were chatting, they mentioned this person by chance, and everyone seemed to have heard of it at the moment.

Speaking of which, Captain Raylo?

That guy seems to be good?

Why is it good?

How do I know this, anyway, when I went to the house of the chief of military affairs, he asked once and asked how the young man was?

Do you think, people who always know about it, can that be bad? So although I don't know much about it, of course it's a nice thing to say. After hearing this, the chief was very happy at the moment. I said a few good things. The old face smiled like a flower.

yes, yes, the second elder seems to have said it once.

......

In this way, Captain Lei Luo's name naturally spread throughout the social circles of military and political dignitaries throughout the Imperial City. Those bigwigs are full of his name.

But how good it is, what it looks like, everyone can't say a word, just know it's good, it's good. Very good.

Anyway, now that everyone is saying yes, then I can't help but say yes.

But they said that they should focus on taking care of it, but it also aroused the jealousy of those lower-level officers. You know, the higher you climb, the harder it gets. There are only a few places that are promoted every year, and you occupy another one, where do we put it?

Now, at last, they've found a chance to make things that hateful white face
