In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 734

c731 Order of St. George

“Nina!”

Giuliano was a little in disbelief. He pushed aside the crowd blocking his way, walked up quickly, and looked excitedly at the familiar yet unfamiliar wolf girl with short blue-gray hair standing behind Leon.

His lips trembled and he opened his mouth several times, but thousands of words came together into one sentence: “I’m back.”

“Well, I’m back.”

Cherinina’s voice was very light, but people who knew her well could still hear the waves in her emotions.

“Very good, very good.”

Giuliano was a little at a loss. He didn’t even think about the chance to see his daughter again in his lifetime. He was so busy thinking about it that he couldn’t even send a telegram or even a letter.

He sometimes felt regretful. If he had chosen to be a good father instead of liberating the wolf clan and rebuilding a foundation in the New World, would he not have been left alone now?

“Except for your hair, you’re almost the same as before.”

Cherinina touched her short hair and said dullly: “It was burned by fire during the battle, so I just cut off most of it. Father, as far as you are concerned, we haven’t seen each other for twenty years. But for us, it’s only half a year.”

Several centurions present crowded up and greeted excitedly: “Long time no see, Ms. Jeanne, I went to France a few years ago and asked the locals for news about you. You have Where have they all gone?”

“Ms. Prajna, I never thought we would have the chance to meet again.”

After being reminded by the tribesmen, Giuliano quickly calmed down his emotions and solemnly welcomed him: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to meet you again, but I can ask you to come with me. The situation must be very bad, right?”

The last time a group of people arrived together, it was to resist the old wolf clan expeditionary force. This time, it will definitely not be easy.

Jeanne nodded and said: “It’s indeed bad. You guessed it right. The enemy is the British. If things go wrong, the Mexicans may also come to take a share of the pie.”

“There really is a vicious tiger in front and a hyena and jackal behind.”

The old patriarch let out a sigh. Although he had guessed it before, the fact that the news was confirmed still made him feel heavier. Thirty years of hard work might turn into a white ground. Who could take it lightly?

Jeanne showed a hearty smile: “Think on the bright side, with our help, taking this opportunity to show the prestige of Texas may be an opportunity for you to achieve rapid development.”

The old patriarch could only say: “I hope so.”

The French have lost their fulcrum in the Americas. If they can show off the majesty of the Texas Wolf Tribe in this battle, they will have proven themselves to the French and are qualified to serve as a nail next to the British American colonies. nail.

In order to fight against Britain and Germany and gain continental hegemony.

The French are willing to strongly support even the huge Tsarist Russia. It is naturally not a problem to support a mere Texas, but by then, Texas will inevitably become farther and farther away from the four words “independence and self-reliance”.

The centurions on the side burst into laughter: “The patriarch, Madam Jeanne, young lady, they are all here, there is nothing to worry about!”

“That’s right, it’s worth dying to be able to fight side by side with Ms. Jeanne again!”

Jeanne rolled her eyes, looked at the familiar and enthusiastic faces, and said with a smile: “Don’t say such unlucky words, when we win this battle, we will get drunk together! ”

Fulin on the side couldn’t help but murmured in a low voice: “Don’t let others say unlucky things. What you said is even more unlucky than what he said.”

“By the way, where is Mr. Lothar?”

After the old patriarch calmed down, he realized that although Captain Lothar’s strength was relatively average, his status was respected and his character was definitely top-notch. With him here, he felt reassured.

Jeanne shook her head: “I don’t know, but he should be here soon.”

My Lord can now transform into a real dragon normally. Even if he is separated by a sea like last time, he can fly over no matter what.

“Who are these others?”

Giuliano looked at the unfamiliar faces among the group of people.

Jeanne couldn’t help laughing and asked, “Mr. Giuliano, don’t you think that guy looks familiar?”

Giuliano followed Jeanne’s gaze and looked over, and the confusion on his face quickly turned into astonishment.

Shreveport, Louisiana.

Lothar, who was riding on the back of Eclipse, started his mount and walked slowly on this exotic land.

This is a border town, mainly engaged in cotton planting. Due to its developed river transportation, it can be regarded as a big city in Louisiana. Walking on the path, Lothar can clearly see the people living in plantation shacks. Yes, black slaves in chains.

Judging from their body shape, they are still quite strong. I guess the food on weekdays is not bad, at least filling their stomachs will not be a problem.

Lothar only took a few more glances, and then the overseer, who was holding a whip and carrying a gun, looked over with a pair of sinister eyes.

He also looked away. The Thirteen Colonies failed to become independent, and industry did not develop. Plantation was still the main industry. Naturally, there was no Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. Of course, even with this Proclamation, as the South, Louisiana, the state of Louisiana, will most likely not comply.

On the outskirts of the town, there are mostly dilapidated two-story buildings made of stone and wood.

Hearing the sound of the eclipse’s hooves, some prying eyes came from behind the window.

Lothar didn’t care about this and continued walking towards the center of the town.

When he arrived at the center of the town, Losa saw some brick and stone buildings with decent decoration. They were lined up on the roadside, and there were various signs of wine glasses, scales, clothes, bread, etc. hanging outside the doors. This was probably the commercial street of this era.

Because it was night, there were not many pedestrians on the street. There were only a few taverns and red-light places with lights on. There were people inside, and the lively sounds coming from inside could be heard through the wooden doors.

There were several black public carriages parked outside the door. Sitting in the back of the carriage, the driver wearing a soft felt hat was waiting for his employer boredly.

In this town, Losa did not see any steampunk style. The glory of the industrial age did not seem to shine here at all.

He came all the way to Shreveport, so of course he did not take the wrong road.

He was not a road idiot. He had been to Texas before. Although the changes in the past 20 years were great, they were not so great that he could not recognize them at all. However, he still chose this road that was opposite to Fort Wolfe.

He was the captain of the giant ship yesterday. Although he played a significant role in the last Texas defense war, he really didn’t deserve this title.

This time, he could barely be considered “returning home in glory”. As the boss of Cerinina, he felt that he should also bring a big gift to Giuliano.

Not far away, a man pulled the sheriff’s sleeve: “It’s him, an outsider wandering the streets at night, sneaking around, he must be a spy from the Texas.”

“Hey, man, stand there and don’t move!”

Wow, the security in this colony is pretty good.

After all, it should be the coastal provinces, not the lawless inland and the West? Or is it because the war is coming, these border towns have awakened?

Lothar couldn’t help laughing and said: “I was worried that no one would ask for the news, you came at the right time.”

He walked straight towards the sheriff wearing brass buttons and a black uniform.

“Stop, I’m going to shoot if you come over again!”

The sheriff pulled out the revolver at his waist and warned loudly.

Bang——

The black gunpowder emitted curls of white smoke, revealing the unharmed man behind it.

He spread his hands and threw the yellow bullet to the ground, then showed a kind smile: “Don’t worry, guys, I just want to ask for directions.”

As he said this, he threw a piece of armor with the emblem of St. George slaying the dragon hanging on the saddle to the ground.

A moment later, the sheriff, who had just recovered from his shock, looked at the man’s back as he left.

The tall horse, under the reflection of the gas lamp on the roadside, was stretched very long, like a monster from hell.

“Sheriff, what is the evil man asking about the headquarters of the ‘Knights of St. George’? Could it be that he wants to attack the Knights?”

The sheriff swallowed his saliva subconsciously: “No matter what he wants to do, he is dead. Tonight, a big man has come to the headquarters of the Knights. It is said that he is the Knight Commander personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen!”
