Chapter 782 The civil war among the royal family and the suffering of the people (10,000 words for votes)
Despite Prince Reuenthal's unusual enthusiasm, Lorraine was not willing to let these guys gather outside the house.
Lorraine and Adeline have to be careful about the servants in the mansion. Everyone knows that the servants in the mansion are the prince's spies.
Lorraine's daily actions and conversations will be watched by these people and then reported to the prince.
So usually in the lobby or in a crowded place like a restaurant, Lorraine and the others are very careful about what they say, and sometimes they even don't speak at all.
Even the civil and military officials who attended the wedding party usually avoided Lei Shan's servants when talking. After all, no one wanted to have a few ears stuck behind their backs.
Adeline and the other three girls wanted to elope, and Lorraine not only wanted to elope with them, but also had to maintain world peace. Under such circumstances, she naturally had to be careful not to be exposed.
Lorraine and Adeline all used the room where they lived, and before they moved in, they kicked out all the Thunderbolt servants in the living room.
There is a team of imperial guards guarding the outside day and night, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Just like this, Lorraine had to be extra careful every night when she and Adeline were chatting about life and ideals.
Now Prince Reuenthar wants to gather a group of people outside the courtyard, which will make Lorraine unhappy.
He also wondered whether he should go rob a bank when he had free time. Leibao was in such chaos now that he was going to hold a self-service party on the street. It was the right time to take advantage of the situation and rob some small coins or something.
In addition to that, I have to get that eager old guy from Lester to grab a war fortress. I have to change my clothes, cover my face, and sneak out for a couple of times at night.
With these people of the great prince pinned outside, it would be inconvenient to go in and out.
Moreover, the most worrying thing is that if these bastards know that the prince's crown is green, something might happen. Once the door outside is blocked, the old man can't even run away.
No, these bastards must be driven away~!
Thinking of this, Lorraine's expression changed and she straightened her face, with a business-like expression like that of the lowest-level civil servants, and said coldly: "We appreciate His Highness the Prince's kindness.
But as the Praetorian Guards protecting Miss Adeline, we cannot leave Miss Adeline's safety to others."
Prince Reuenthar smiled and said: "But we are not others. Soon we will be a family."
Lorraine looked at Prince Reuenthar in front of her and felt very dissatisfied. She cursed secretly, "You're the size of the family, that's my girl~!"
He simply said stiffly: "Even if it is soon, it will be in the future.
This matter is related to the honor and responsibilities of our Ling Shan Guards. There is no need to discuss it. Please understand, Prince. The order given to us by the high priest is to protect Miss Adeline."
Hearing that Lorraine had moved out the high priest, Prince Reuenthar could only smile bitterly.
Lorraine suddenly brightened up, smiled again, and said: "Besides, we are already preparing to build barricades, build fortifications, and strengthen defenses.
Believe me, with people like us, those rats can never get close to Miss Adeline."
He paused for a moment, then pointed to a few wisps of black smoke still floating in the sky not far away, and then said: "But, let me tell you, Your Highness, the public security here is really not very good. Tsk tsk, look at this
It’s been a mess for two days.”
Prince Reuenthar opened his mouth and said to himself, I brought people here just because I knew you were starting to prepare to build fortifications. Bah~!
Are you building fortifications just to demolish my house?
If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my new house. You guys like Ling Shen will demolish it for me even if you take it. You're not that bullying.
Prince Reuenthar hesitated for a moment and said, "But..."
Lorraine waved her hands, with an impatient look on her face, and said: "No but, Your Highness, the Guards will not agree to let others be responsible for Miss Adeling's safety. This is the principle. What's more..."
Lorraine frowned, with a worried expression on his face, and said: "With all due respect, Your Highness, this is a critical period. You are bringing thousands of people out. The prince does not have enough strength, will there be any problem?
I heard that each family in Leibao only has 10,000 people.
If you divide your forces and don't have enough manpower and lose the battle, we will be very ashamed."
Prince Reuenthar paused for a moment, then sighed and said: "This is just for you, General. I won't tell him about the others. To be honest, General, you don't really think that we have this on our hands."
Can I order someone?"
Having said this, he raised his head slightly and smiled proudly, and said: "The power of these people is not taken seriously by the Reuenthal family."
Lorraine thought to himself: This is a bit ridiculous. The Reuenthal family is indeed the strongest in Thunder Flash, but the combined strength of the other two or three families still exceeds the Reuenthal family.
Otherwise, they would have unified Lei Shan long ago and would still be wrangling like they are now.
Seeing Lorraine's unbelieving look, Prince Reuenthar hurriedly explained: "The agreement is one thing, but in fact, each family conceals the presence of troops under their command near Lei Castle, more or less.
According to the agreement, the military strength of each of our families must be the same, but knights also have attendants, right? They are not included in the regular army, but during wars, knights and attendants can also go to the battlefield."
Lorraine understood at once that there were policies and countermeasures at the top. Even if the regular army had the title of knight's squire, they would still be a regular army.
Just like the naval size agreement signed by the great powers during World War I, which stipulated the number of battleships each had, they ended up building so-called armored cruisers to circumvent the restrictions.
It involves the rise and fall of each family, and of course no one will be so stupid as to actually abide by the agreement.
Lorraine smiled and shook her head, cupped her hands to the prince, and said: "That's it, please report back to the prince. We appreciate His Highness's kindness. If you really care about Miss Adeling's safety, please calm down the thunder as soon as possible.
There will be no commotion in the castle."
Lorraine's words hit Prince Reuenthar's shortcomings. To put it bluntly, all the trouble in Leborg City was caused by the marriage.
Skulachman made great ambitions to unify Thunderbolt within two generations through marriage. As a result, the bride-to-be Adelin came. They had not yet dealt with the opposition forces in Thunderburg, but they were allowed to do it.
The wind is blowing, and now we are gearing up to start a civil war.
As a result, the date for the wedding has not yet been determined.
He boasted a lot, but was slapped in the face by his actions. Isn't this just a joke for the Lingshan people to see? To be more serious, he exposed his incompetence in front of the high priest.
Prince Reuenthar's face turned red, then he became angry, and said bitterly: "They won't be able to survive for a few days. We already have a plan, and we will catch them all this time."
"Oh? Then I wish in advance that His Highness the Prince and His Highness the Prince's plan will succeed." Lorraine congratulated him with a smile on her face, but she thought to herself, it seems that these guys are going to be cruel, if they let you succeed.
, Brother, I have no chance to sing, I can’t say it, I have to light some fire for you behind your back.
Thinking of this, Lorraine's face smiled even brighter. Prince Reuenthar had always regarded Lorraine as someone on his side. Hearing this, he also smiled and said: "Just ask General Lei Luo to wait and see. Then we will go back."
, there have been a lot of things these past two days, and I haven’t had a good sleep for two days and two nights. Please convey our regards to Miss Adeline."
"Definitely." Lorraine smiled.
Prince Reuenthar bowed slightly to greet Lorraine, then waved his hand and shouted: "Go back to the castle~!"
The army turned around directly, the rear team became the front team, and retreated along the way they came.
Lorraine flipped his horse's head and said to Sauron next to him with a fierce expression: "Tell the brothers to expand the realm by two more blocks. Don't tear down the garden wall, and demolish the house for me~!"
Zoro said in surprise: "Expand two more blocks? I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower. Besides, it's not necessary, right?"
Lorraine sneered and said: "Didn't you listen to what that kid just said? There is going to be a big move, and Leibao will be in chaos soon. Are you prepared? Don't be afraid that there will be no one, there will be plenty of manpower to do miscellaneous things for us."
"Yes, sir."
Sauron's advantage is that even if he has doubts, he will carry out his orders to the letter. He is exactly the kind of subordinate Lorraine likes the most.
"Expand the security area by two more blocks. Brothers, move forward to move materials." The officers roared, and the Guards soldiers also complained a little. If we expand the security area by two more blocks, the distance will be a bit far, and there will be a few more intersections.
, the workload required increases significantly.
The Praetorian Guards built barricades, and the preferred materials were moved from the garden, such as rockeries, stones, wooden corridors, etc. After the garden was almost harmed, the Praetorian Guards followed Lorraine's order and began to demolish the houses.
The wooden beams and masonry used in building houses were all pulled out.
The mansion built by the Grand Prince is about the same size as a palace. If you think about it, the 4,000 people in the wedding party can almost stay here. Just imagine how big this place is.
After understanding that the Guards were there to protect the neighborhood, nearby Thunder Flash residents also came out to assist the Guards in their work.
Last night, the news that the Zaitan clan was about to merge with the Alva clan spread throughout the city early in the morning. Who among these people would not be afraid if they thought about it?
There are now 60,000 troops in Leibao City openly, and even more secretly, and they are all sharpening their swords and ready to fight at any time.
Swordsmen have no eyesight, and the most people who die are ordinary people.
In the afternoon, the barricade was already in rough shape. In fact, building the barricade was not complicated at all. Stones were used as the foundation, and large logs were placed in the middle. After they were fixed, the gaps were filled.
There is a palace to make raw materials, and it is still very fast.
Kankan was ready when a thundering cry of death came from the other side of Thunder Castle.
Lorraine didn't hesitate, threw away her hands and ran to the highest building. Leo shouted "Wait for me" and followed Lorraine all the way up.
There is a four-story I-shaped palace in the mansion, which is used as the main building. No one lives in it yet.
Lorraine and Leo climbed up to the roof and saw a plume of black smoke rising into the sky on the east side of the city, where the shouts of death came from.
Being too far away, Lorraine couldn't see clearly. He could vaguely see a large group of people gathering there.
Lorraine put his hands on his eyes and said, "Whose territory is that?"
Leo thought for a while and said: "The east side should be the territory of the Bartholomea family."
Lorraine nodded and said, "Could it be that the Reuenthal family took action?"
Leo scratched his head, suddenly pulled Lorraine, and whispered: "Boss, do you want to go over and have a look? Let's see what are the two dogs biting each other."
"Ah?" Lorraine was stunned for a moment, a little excited, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Well, watching people fight is really interesting, especially watching people fight in groups. I don't dare to do this, maybe it will be very...
Danger……"
Even Lorraine felt that he could not convince himself by saying these words. When had his uncle Lorraine been afraid of danger? Of course Leo could tell from his words that Lorraine's meaning was not firm at all.
To be continued...
