C342 Viscount Ah Lan will strive for success (1/2)
”Speed up, speed up, you guys are the best in the empire, we are the thornbush gardener, we are the bravest ones here, do not be afraid of being tired, you have to know that the rewards after victory are unimaginable …”
”As long as we defeat those annoying Prussian, we can receive a lot of war reparations. I guarantee that everyone can receive a lot of bonuses that will make you laugh even in your dreams …”
”Ahahaha …” ”Pah pah pah! Bastard, you guys be careful, the dirt is already in my mouth …”
Viscount Ah Lan had never been so mighty in her life. Although she was a renowned noble in the Vienna, she did not achieve anything in the years that she had been in the army. This made his family exceptionally furious.
However, what's the use of being angry? In the entire Austria's military department, there were not many people who thought well of Ah Lan and the group of playboys. Otherwise, they would not have specially formed a division to raise them.
Looking at Ah Lan's outfit on the battlefield, the exquisite sheepskin gloves were actually dyed white. According to him, she wanted to preserve both the beauty of the white cloth gloves and the effect of the little sheepskin's gauntlet.
Of course, the gloves were only one of the aspects that Viscount Ah Lan paid attention to. Just look at the quality of his military uniform, it was made using a top-notch cloth, all the buttons were either gold or silver, if she didn't bring any money, it would be enough for ordinary people to use for half a month.
The living conditions he had enjoyed since he was young, coupled with his status as a noble, allowed Ah Lan to develop a temper that was full of envy and arrogance.
Ah Lan really liked to build his career and bring honor to his clan on the battlefield, but in his heart, he hated the dirty environment of the battlefield. Especially since it had rained a bit this morning, and the land had quickly turned into a dirty, muddy road after being trampled on by the army.
Looking at the cow dung that was mixed into the mud on the side of the road, Viscount Ah Lan really couldn't link the delicious steak on the plate with the dung on the table. Other than occasionally shouting slogans, he covered her mouth with her gloves most of the time.
However, just now, that blind cavalryman had actually galloped his horse around in front of him, causing the soil on the horse's hooves to fly into his mouth.
Oh my god, the moment Viscount Ah Lan thought of the cow dung, he felt nauseous. However, she knew that the surrounding soldiers were all looking at him, this kind of action must not be done to lower her morale.
He had been used to having his personal aide-de-camp ever since he was young. Since young master was a military officer, he naturally arranged for his personal aide-de-camp to be used to it. In fact, he was just a personal servant. When the aide-de-de-camp saw the young master's expression, he knew that his obsession with cleanliness was committed again. He quickly took out a silver wine jug and secretly passed it over.
Without saying anything further, Ah Lan gulped down a large mouthful of the top-grade French wine. The wine that was worth 200 gold coins was not for drinking, but for rinsing her mouth.
With a ”pu” sound, the floor was filled with red wine. Good wine was good wine, and the strong aroma of the fruit made the surrounding soldiers sniff their nose. They probably never had the chance to drink such expensive wine in their lives.
”Reporting, sir...” An urgent report from the front … ”
”Cough, cough, cough …” Just as he finished gargling, and wanted to drink a mouthful of wine to moisten his throat, Viscount Ah Lan was suddenly frightened by the soldier who barged in, and choked down the mouthful of wine in his throat.
”Cough, cough, cough …” You bastard... If you walk on the right path, why did you run away from me … ”Cough, cough, cough …”
The messenger was so tired that he was sweating profusely after running for an entire morning, but he was met with a bunch of curses. However, the person in front of him was a proud noble, and his identity was that of a commoner.
The soldier lowered his voice slightly: ”Reporting to the lord, the sentry has sent an urgent message. An Prussian army suddenly appeared at our destination, the Shiqiao uplands, seems like they want to protect the stone bridge.
”Hmm? Prussian army? How could he be so fast? ”Open the map...” Although Ah Lan was a popinjay, she was also a graduate from a proper military academy.
”Hm!” Looks like Lao Maoqi still has some ability, he must have figured out our plan … How many enemies are there? ”
”Sir, we can't see more than two battalions, all of them are infantry without cavalry and artillery support …”
”Hahaha, this is truly giving me a pillow out of drowsiness. Isn't this just giving me credit for nothing? Pass the order down, let the sentries spread out their security perimeter, we must find out whether they have reinforcements or not … The rest of the soldiers quickened their pace, if our first group wants to monopolize this contribution, I will not give any of it to the others, hahaha … ”
Just as he was laughing maniacally, the soldier spoke up once more. ”Sir, there's something else I need to report to you in secret …” Viscount Ah Lan didn't understand and dispersed the soldiers beside him. ”To make a long story short, we are in a hurry …”
”Yes, sir...” The sentries at the front realized that this troop was extremely strange. They discovered that there were a lot of eastern faces mixed in, and the uniforms were also different from those in the Prussian army … ”
”Sir, could it be the Eastern Prime Minister's subordinate? If we were to engage in a brawl with them, would it cause a diplomatic dispute? ”
”What!” The viscount grabbed the soldier's collar and asked, ”Say it again?” An eastern face appeared? Was it a light blue uniform? Are you talking about Xiao Letian's army? ”
After receiving the soldier's response, Viscount Ah Lan released his hand, and revealed a strange smile on his face. ”Hehe, God really loves me, I never thought that they would actually join the battle. Men, order your troops to march strongly, you must be the first one to reach Shiqiao uplands, we need to crush this army … ”
