Chapter 223: Embarking on the Journey

Lorraine's words were pounded, and the officers who were not sharp were quite moved. Time went by, and they talked in a low voice.

The large barracks were filled with a beehive-like hum.

But after a moment, they eerily fell silent again. Sit straight in their respective positions. Like a mud puppet, he keeps his mouth tightly closed, but he doesn't spit out.

It's also easy to understand. Although the war will not be undead. But the people sitting here were all aristocratic officers.

Not only do they have force to protect themselves, but they also have war horses. Even though he couldn't beat it, he rode away and left. As for the life and death of those big-headed soldiers. These uncles don't care at all, they really can't do it, they go back and catch some strong men, make up the numbers and leave.

Ask them to pay for it. Buy insurance for your soldiers. That's a lot of difficulty.

Lorraine looked at these ruffians who strung copper plates on the ribs and didn't pull out a hair, and couldn't help sighing, and said, "Okay, you forced me to do this." ”

said. He stretched out his hand and took out a copy of the text, then unfolded it, and said, "According to the spirit of the third document of the eighth year of the Eight Thirty-two Year of the Machine-Ye Danlin Academy, the following is hereby announced. ”

The officers couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know what Lorraine was trying to do.

Lorraine ignored them as well, and continued: "Under the correct leadership of the three deans of the three official colleges, General Vabador, Cardinal Obakhim, and Archmage Lester, all the members of the expeditionary force are united and united.

All the soldiers and officers should emancipate their minds, forge ahead in a pioneering spirit, work hard with heavy burdens, boldly explore various effective ways of expeditionary military work, and establish a long-term management mechanism. Efforts should be made to promote the innovation of the contingent, the mechanism, and the management" to make the military expedition enter the management track of legalization, institutionalization, and regularization.

"Make your due contribution to world peace and galactic tranquility,"

He talked for a long time, and the officers listened drowsily. But no one dared to stand up and protest. For fear of provoking Lord Lorraine, he then asked him to send himself to the death squad.

Lorraine spoke for a long time, but her words were dry, and finally she finally read to the bottom of the text.

He read unhurriedly: "According to the requirements of the meeting, in order to embody the three principles of justice, fairness, and openness, and to establish a sound market access system, every soldier participating in the expeditionary force must be forced to purchase insurance. ”

The officers immediately complained.

"Is there any heavenly reason?" someone shouted.

"yes. We're here to help. ”

"We have a sincere heart," the man said, and immediately remembered what happened to his companion with appendicitis, and immediately shut up. Then he shrunk up. For fear that Lorraine would catch on with his speech disease, he praised "good man" twice and then transferred himself to the death squad.

Lorraine threw down the text in his hand and looked at everyone coldly.

When the nobles saw that his eyes were not good, the grumbling voice gradually lowered down, and finally disappeared. The large hall was silent, even though an embroidery needle was dropped. It is also clear

Lorraine pressed her hands on the table and leaned forward. Fierce eyes swept over the faces of the crowd one by one. Many of them bowed their heads in humility.

He coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, let's open the window and say something." As soon as you heard that the academy was in trouble, you rushed with an army, and the academy was very grateful. I was also impressed. On behalf of the Academy, I would like to say thank you in advance. He said. Bow to the crowd.

A group of officers stood up one after another and said loudly: "It is our honor to serve the academy. ”

Thank you. Lorraine straightened up, then continued: "Now the war is settled. If you want to lead the army back, the college will pay you military salaries and travel expenses. In return, you will also be given a medal of honor. In recognition of your contributions during the crisis of the College.

Does anyone want to go back?"

Everyone looked at each other, all smiling and silent. What he led the team to do here, I know very well in my heart.

It's just that the opportunity is rare, and the turtle has enough strength, so he can follow it and let it go.

Just for these few beautiful words, you can't beat it.

Lorraine smiled and said, "It seems that everyone's hearts are very united, so I will also open the window and say something." I know exactly what you want to do. But don't forget that once you set foot on each other's land, your every move represents the Academy. And Maple Leaf Danlin Academy's reputation for fairness and honesty cannot be damaged casually. ”

When everyone heard what he said, they all fell silent and listened attentively to what he said.

Lorraine said: "It doesn't matter if it's the civilians of the enemy country or our soldiers. No matter what happened. Maple leaf danlin is responsible for this.

We don't want to see civilians on the other side being killed at will because of a copper plate. We also do not want to see our soldiers die on the battlefield without a benefactor, leaving behind their lonely families. ”

He paused for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, pointed to the door of the tent, and said, "If you can't even pay this money, or don't want to pay it." I think I need to ask you to leave. Because we need loyal soldiers. And not a gang called Hanako. Or bandits. ”

He concluded: "This insurance premium is not just a sum of money, but a measure of strength. When you can afford to come up with this money. It also means that he will no longer kill people casually for the money of a few copper plates. ”

That's just the way it goes. As long as you take advantage of it. It's not that it's hidden, it's just that it's afraid that others will know. Instead, it is broken and crushed, even if everyone loses Huang Bu, they will not support it. Because;...... This is to maintain the common order of everyone.

Even a demented wolf has its own moral code. Just by virtue of ferocity and cruelty, he thought that he was invincible in the world, and he would be bitten to death first.

The officers of the aristocratic army were no exception, and they saw that Lorraine was reasonable. All acquiesced. But when I think about the premium to be paid, my heart trembles in pain at the moment.

In order to reduce expenses and increase efficiency, a large-scale reduction of the private army has also begun, and all the rookies and strong men who have been pulled to make up the numbers have been dismissed. Left behind their own relatively sophisticated people. In this way, you will pay a little less. In the future, I will be able to be a little more capable when I grab something.

Lorraine watched as they walked up one by one, reporting the number of people after the cut. Only then did he let out a long sigh. Now pass guò this measure. Finally they went from leafless locusts to scavenging dogs. In this way, while the combat power is increased, the damage caused to the invasion can also be reduced a little.

Lorraine casually beckoned a company insurance officer who came with him and asked him to register the numbers. But he walked out and breathed a sigh of relief.

Catherine thought for a moment. followed, and exclaimed: "Your idea of a market access system is really killing two birds with one stone, and you have collected money to strengthen the combat power of the troops." ”

Lorraine smiled and said, "I didn't think of this. Rather, it was a tragic emperor in our place named Redbeard Philip. Came up with it when playing the Crusades, going to the Holy City to kill people and set fires, robbing money, robbing things, and robbing women. Catherine frowned, but she was used to the nonsense he often said, "ours, yours," so she let out a soft, oh, "oh" sound, and asked, "So did he succeed?"

Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "No." He fell into a ditch and drowned. ”

He turned and watched as the officers who had already registered walked out. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the problem of the private arming of these nobles was finally solved.

The battleships full of armies were assembled in batches at the mouth of the sea, and soon, as far as Lorraine could see, there were already shadows of masts and sails.

Looking at the dense sail shadows, one can't help but sigh at how strong this team is.

Lorraine, who stayed in the fleet, was sure that she was at the top of the fleet, but she had no idea where the head and tail of the fleet were. It is also not known how wide this fleet spreads.

Therefore, he could only stay on the battleship with his men, looking at the battleships around him boredly.

The important role of the regular navies of all countries is only now being revealed.

Command such a large fleet, set up guard ships, protect the transport ships that transport people and materials in the middle of the fleet, and keep the actions of this huge fleet consistent, complex signals, and troublesome maneuvers.

These were far from being the ones that Lorraine and his crusaders could handle, accustomed to on land. This kind of movement will lead to the mobilization of tens of thousands of legions, and it will only have to be an experienced veteran like Vabador.

Even though Lorraine has this ability, he is still a little out of rank in the army, which has always been the most senior. Second, Lord Luo has always been able to sit without standing, lie down without sitting, let him spend that time. It's better to drink two more glasses of wine and flirt with the beauty around you.

The ship he was on was an armed warship converted from a large merchant ship. In addition, there were dozens of ships of the same modification, which were surrounded by the battleship where Lorraine was.

The ships were loaded with all the personnel of the Maple Leaf Danlin Raiding Army, and Lorraine stayed in the same jetty ship as the mages led by Rest.

These ships were in the best condition of the entire fleet. And the capacity is large enough, except for the people on the boat who are crowded together, life is quite passable.

And as the commander of the Ye Danlin Student Army in this crusade, Lorraine was also assigned a nice cabin.

At this time, the trumpets sounded, the captains shouted orders, and the sailors began to raise their sails and set sail.

The bow of the boat slowly broke through the waves. As the boat gradually increased, the water trail behind the stern became larger and larger.

The crusading armies of Lorraine and Ye Danlin have officially embarked on their journey.

The people gathered on the deck whistled, clapped and cheered.

A mage behind Lorraine shouted into the sky, "Almohads bastard, here we come"

The others shouted.

Although Lorraine did not scream. But I felt that the man also spoke his heart. This time, it is definitely to give those bold guys a good look, and burn the flames of war on their land, so that those guys know that even if another thousand years pass, they can't look at Ye Danlin squarely!

Lester looked at the people on board. Then he turned to Lorraine and smiled, "Okay." It's finally begun. ”

Lorraine shrugged her shoulders and said, "I thought these guys would be arguing until next spring, so we could go out to sea at a warm time."

Lester shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "This period of time is the best monsoon period for sailing from the sea to Almohad, and those guys will not miss this time, otherwise we will have to draw a big circle and drift on the sea for half a month longer." ”

Lorraine looked around and saw mages patrolling overhead. "It's up to our mages along the way.

Let them eat and drink well. Try not to get seasick, the current naval strength of the Almohads is still not weak, and if you fight hard, the horn and the tip will be very bad, and it will be so bad that the six mages who rely on air superiority cannot afford to lose the door

Rester smiled, looked at Lorraine, and said, "Don't worry, the mages of Maple Leaf Danlin have all been tested, and it's just a matter of crossing the sea by boat."

Those Almohads: "I'm looking forward to it."

If they can get back from me, I'll throw away the title of Forbidden Mage. We Maple Leaf Danlin sacrificed one person. I want a hundred Almohads to accompany me," Lorraine lowered his head and calculated, and said, "If you don't take back the loss of our Maple Leaf Danlin and multiply it by one hundred from the Almohads, I'm sorry for this expedition." ”

"Speaking of which, snatch everything out of the mouths of these guys," said Rest. ”

Lester pointed to the surrounding ships, which were all volunteers sent by other forces, and then said: "It's up to you, don't mess it up with me, in the end, we didn't have as many people who came to take revenge, and the tens of thousands of mouths of the maple leaf danlin were open." We can't feed us and see if they'll go back and tear you up. ”

Lorraine looked at Lester and said, "Old man, you have to have a limit to your insatiable greed, look at the construction sites in the academy now, the houses built in the past three hundred years are not as many as the three of you have built in the past few months." Look at those POWs. It's only been a few days. The most important thing is that you can't deduct everyone's bonuses just for building a house. ”

Old Lester blushed, scratched his cheeks with his fingernails, and said, "Isn't it already four million? ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand heavily. As if that way, those things can be driven away.

Lorraine smiled and said, "Whatever you want"

It's just that I secretly thought in my heart: How can I show that you are really more and more similar to those principals before me? The money won't come back.

Lester didn't know the slightest bit of the vicious thoughts in his heart, otherwise he would definitely kick him down

Standing on the bow of the boat, he felt that the sea breeze was a little cold, and he couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "I'm old, I can't stand the cold wind." It's still warm in the cabin, I'd better go down. Call me if something happens. ”

With that, he turned around and walked into the cabin.

Lorraine looked at his back and shrugged. I secretly said in my heart: This kind of day is really boring, and I have to drift on the sea for half a month, I have to find a way to play such a time, how about a sea barbecue conference? Or a sea fishing competition? Forget it, let's come together, this can be more fun!

The next few days were calm. The battleships were heading south every day, and the news from the forward sentry ships was always normal.

When the net went out to sea, the people of Maple Leaf Danlin were still very excited, and stayed on the deck all day, and after two days, everyone was only willing to stay in the cabin.

Lorraine began to crouch in the stern of the boat with a fishing rod to fish, and then had a barbecue with a group of mages, which was only fresh for three days, and then the guys snorted and suffocated in the cabin

Ten days later, when the alarm bell rang for the encounter between the battleship and an Almohad patrol in front of the enemy, Lorraine was asking the captain about the news of the flag, and Lester came out of the cabin and asked Lorraine, "Is there an enemy in that direction?"

Lorraine said: "It's the strikers who are coming in the news. Three patrol ships. ”

Resty nodded, and said to the mages beside him, "You guys come with me." Then he took them into the air. Fly ahead.

Soon, there was the sound of explosions roaring from the front, and the sound of ships breaking and shattering.

This was followed by the news that the alarm had been lifted.

Lester landed on the boat, and after standing still, he twisted his neck, straightened his waist, and then shook his hand and said: "It is much more comfortable to go out and walk around, and I am going crazy when I am always stunned on the boat." Then he made a stretching gesture and said, "Shhhh ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the cabin on his own.

Lorraine asked a mage who was following Lester, "What's the matter?"

The mage said, "It's three ships. I wanted to run when I saw our fleet, but before I could turn around, Dean Lester blasted them to pieces. Tsk, that burst of fireballs is really overwhelming. ”

"That's it," said a mage next to him: the ship was worthless, and it sank and pulled down. ”

Several other mages nodded in agreement, and one mage said with emotion: "It would be nice if it were a big ship, and it would be 10,000 gold coins if you got it." ”

Lorraine laughed twice, a vengeful magician, a group of mages who wanted to rob the red eye, the Almohads were in trouble.

Lorraine thought about it, since he had already met the enemy. That means it's not far from the Almohads, so it's time to redouble your heart.

Lorraine immediately summoned his mages and ordered them to patrol in groups of four in all eight directions, and the air superiority of the mages was enough to ensure that the coalition would meet the Almohads fleet.

Two days later, it was clear that the Almohads had known about the arrival of the raiding fleet, and a steady stream of speedboats appeared at the horizon, and at first Lester was still interested in destroying them one by one, and after another two days, Lester was too lazy to do anything to the flies, and the mages were not interested in the fish, and even kept complaining: the Almohads really don't give face.
