101. Important news from yesterday (3000-word chapter)
When Rohr found Jeanne in the underground conference room, she had returned to her normal appearance and had changed back into ordinary clothes. Her appearance was still as beautiful as a flower, and her figure was still tall and hot. She was lying at the table, writing.
Drawing.
Luo Er couldn't help but recall her soft and clingy appearance yesterday. To be honest, she was still more cute like yesterday...
Fortunately, he took a lot of photos yesterday. Although they were only in black and white, memories should be in this color.
"good morning teacher."
Noticing Rolle coming over, Jeanne raised her head and gave him a gentle smile.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong, and there was no embarrassment as expected. Could it be that...she didn't remember what happened yesterday?
Luo Er feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out. The prices of various holy objects are all kinds of strange. It is normal to lose memory as you get older. But looking at it this way, although the power of this holy object is not weak, the price is too troublesome.
…
So he didn't take the initiative to mention what happened yesterday. He nodded politely in response to Jeanne, and then looked around again.
What’s a little strange is that this conference room was fine yesterday, but today there are suddenly some signs of cracks? There are several spots on the table and on the wall, as if they were hit repeatedly by something heavy...
"What's wrong with this wall? Is there something wrong?"
Rohr asked, pointing to the cracks in the wall.
"Ahem, no...it's nothing. Maybe someone accidentally broke it? I'll find someone to repair it later."
Jeanne's answer seemed a little flustered, which made Roel a little suspicious, so he asked tentatively:
"Your paintings are pretty good..."
"Alas!!!!!"
Jeanne suddenly jumped up from the chair like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, letting out a series of cute squeals, and her pretty face instantly turned red and was about to bleed.
Then, she threw her head against the wall again, hammering hard, and hitting the wall with her head "dong dong dong". The frequency was very fast and the intensity was very strong...
It seems that you want to use this method to make yourself pass out, or force yourself to lose your memory?
Now Luo Er finally understood how the crack marks around him came from...
At the same time, he also knew that this girl had not actually lost her memory, otherwise she would not have such a social death convulsion reaction.
Maybe this is what the senior executive said before, that there is only something wrong?
Jeanne's actions attracted the attention of many people outside, and many people asked with concern:
"What's going on, Your Majesty? Do you dislike the conference room being too cramped?"
"It should be the price of a sacred object, right? It's so scary..."
"Teacher, please think of a solution! I'm worried that the base will be destroyed by the Holy Maiden!"
Rolle dispersed everyone first, closed the door of the conference room, pressed Jeanne's shoulders, dragged her back to her seat, and said seriously:
"Okay, okay, my daughter is already 18 years old, why would she care about this with a little girl like you? I didn't take anything you said yesterday seriously, it was just a child's joke."
"Woo~"
Jeanne let out a pitiful whine. After a while, she covered her face with her hands and asked cautiously:
"Teacher, you really don't mind, right? You won't be angry with me, right? You don't think I'm a lustful bad girl, right?"
"No, no, no, no!"
Luo Er said "no" seriously three times, then subconsciously reached out and rubbed her head, and continued to comfort her:
"Don't worry, I won't mention this in the future. Let's just pretend it never happened."
Jeanne narrowed her eyes slightly, and took the initiative to rub her head in his palm with some greed, and then whispered:
"Well...thank you, teacher."
It seems that the photos I took cannot be seen by this girl...
Luo Er muttered to himself, then continued:
"Okay, cheer up, your home and people are still waiting for you to save them."
Jeanne nodded vigorously and ran to summon other senior leaders of the sect to come over for a morning meeting, which naturally included the surrendered officer who performed well yesterday.
This man's name is Red Gill. He once studied in the Military Academy of the United Kingdom and achieved excellent results. Unfortunately, he has been unsuccessful since returning to the country. His military rank was only captain. He was already indignant at all the foolish and evil deeds of the Principality of Maude, so he surrendered.
It would be so straightforward.
This can be regarded as one of the few talents in the resistance organization.
Rolle had warned Jeanne before, asking her to try to reuse this person and give him enough trust, and never despise or neglect this person because of his surrender.
Not to mention that he has already sent his wife and children to the resistance organization, which is full of sincerity.
Jeanne also listened and directly asked him to participate in the high-level memories, which made this person look moved.
As usual, Rolle sat back in his auditorium and listened quietly to their meeting, still not participating.
There was nothing he could do if he wanted to participate. Most of these people spoke local dialect, which he couldn't understand.
"We gained a lot from yesterday's ambush. The batch of ordnance included 200 brand-new muskets and matching ammunition, as well as 100 sets of personal soft armor. We can form our own musketry team!"
"In addition, there is an unexpected surprise. We actually got two 75mm field guns!"
A senior executive in charge of logistics said with excitement on his face, as if he was about to fly.
Even Rohr was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this guy was so fat. Not only did he have a gun, but he even had an artillery piece?
Although a caliber of 75mm is barely considered a toothpick when compared to the empire or the barbarians, let alone compared to the earth, when placed in the overall backward Fertile Valley, it is like a world-destroying cannon, and can even target low-level weapons.
Transcendents pose a huge threat.
"I was fortunate enough to learn artillery drills. Please teach me how to use these two new things."
"The brothers who came with me have also practiced the use of muskets. Please let them help train other brothers and strive to form combat effectiveness faster."
Redgill took the initiative to ask for the officer again.
Several other leaders immediately showed hesitation and wanted to say something, but Jeanne still remembered Rolle's suggestion and immediately agreed to the matter despite all opinions.
Then, another senior person in charge of intelligence collection said:
"According to reports from our people, an army of more than 2,000 people was sent from Gaoshan Fort yesterday and we were induced to go to the border with the barbarians. This trip will take at least two weeks..."
"The defense in Gaoshan Fort is very empty now. It is estimated that there are less than 2,000 people left..."
Everyone present understood what he meant, and they quickly started a heated discussion on whether to take advantage of this opportunity.
Rolle and Jeanne naturally hope to seize this opportunity, and this is the idea they originally formulated.
Especially now after seeing the power of Jeanne's armor, the possibility of success is very high.
Once the mountain fortress is captured, the resistance organization will truly have its own power and territory, and its subsequent development and growth will be greatly accelerated.
But the opponents are not unreasonable.
They believe that the opportunity is indeed good, but the problem is that time is still too tight, their preparations are actually not that sufficient, training is insufficient, equipment is still poor, and there are not many people.
Today's Guangfu Sect has less than 2,000 warriors who can fight in battle, and they are basically new recruits who lack training. Their combat effectiveness is really worrying.
Moreover, there is still a lack of grassroots officers, and the entire team has almost no organization at all, so so far they have only organized raids and guerrilla activities with about a hundred people. Yesterday, 500 people were dispatched at one time, which was considered a "big" battle.
If you want to attack a mountain fortress with strong walls, even with the help of artillery and holy objects, you will have to pay a lot of losses, and you may not be able to stop the enemy's counterattack behind you.
It's better to develop as you are now, work steadily, and then gradually figure it out later.
Both sides felt that they were justified, and they argued endlessly.
During the quarrel, someone said, "It's better to ask the instructor for his opinion." Then the conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their attention to Rohr in the corner.
Luo suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
"Ahem, first bring me the information collected from Gaoshan Castle."
He gave an order.
In the past, Jeanne would check all kinds of information from the Alpine Castle every day, sort and filter it, and then report it to Rohr, but because of the special situation yesterday, she missed a day.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any earth-shaking changes if one day is lost, so Rohr actually wants to use this time to think through his thoughts and give practical, effective and reasonable suggestions like a real consultant.
The senior executive in charge of intelligence collection quickly took out a large pile of notes stuck together from under the table, flipped to the corresponding dates, and handed them to Jeanne, who translated them one by one for Rohr.
Most of them are familiar things, such as the city lord was furious, hanged a dozen untouchables for not paying taxes, sent an army of 2,000 people out of the city overnight, etc.
Until Jeanne read out the last sentence:
"In an abandoned mine vein in the south outside the city, the owner of the mine that was about to go bankrupt asked people to continue digging deeper. It seemed that they had discovered something new. It seemed that it could produce a beautiful, silver, and soft mineral.
Water, but a magical substance that can never be broken..."
Luo was immediately shocked when he heard the news and said quickly:
"Quickly, go and ask Mr. Macmillan to come over and let him take a look at this."
He suspected that the beautiful, silver thing in the description was probably a rare mineral unique to this world - Gundanium metal.
He had seen the introduction of this thing in the materials of the Engineering Association. After being processed by alchemy and engineering, this thing will turn into gundanium alloy, which is the core material for casting deformed armor and deformed weapons!
