- Chapter 747 - The Will of the Texans
“Mr. Lothar is back!”
A young wolf warrior suddenly shouted excitedly: “Everyone, look, that’s Mr. Lothar!”
Before he could say a few more words, the Texas border guards who were escorting the refugees came galloping over on their mounts.
They looked at him with admiration: “Mr. Lothar, it’s an honor to see you again. I heard about what happened on the Florida coast. Did Ms. Jeanna say it was your work?”
Lothar admitted it generously, and then he attracted a crowd of cheers.
“Too awesome!”
“What I was most worried about before was the British airships. After all, it is said that those things can fly above the clouds and drop bombs on our heads. Even if we put the guns on the top of the mountain, we can’t reach them at all.”
The wolf tribe is not the Blood King’s Court. They can have a bunch of constructed monsters as guards, and they can fly in the air and use various magic to defend against air strikes.
In this era, air defense capabilities are weak, and many countries have no concept of air defense at all.
Even if Chief Giuliano said that he would retreat to the mountain city and threaten the enemy not to use heavy weapons by exploding the mine, it was just a gamble that placed his fate in the hands of the enemy.
They all knew that the white crystal mine was not so easy to explode. The British, who often used explosives such as white crystal, must have more in-depth research in this area.
They were likely to be able to grasp the degree of bombing New Basilicata without affecting the white crystal mine.
It was nothing more than not using high-powered artillery fire, but small-scale bombing was inevitable.
“Everyone, come and see, this is Mr. Losa who helped us a lot!”
The border guards called out to the Texas civilians, who came forward one after another to express their gratitude enthusiastically.
Many people took out gifts and stuffed them into Losa’s hands, and Viviana and Lavinia on the side were not spared.
Soon they were covered with gifts from the Texans, canned food, beer, pickled oysters, lobster rolls, butter pickled shrimp… countless portable delicacies.
As a country of immigrants, Texas is made up of civilized natives, mixed-race Hispanics, Dixies, Italians, and Germans.
Their own food styles are adapted to the local conditions of Texas, giving rise to all kinds of strange “delicacies”.
Viviana held a bunch of gifts in her arms, and she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “These people are too enthusiastic.”
Lavinia snorted: “We two are also benefiting from Lothar’s help. No one has been so enthusiastic about us before.”
“Did you see those passionate girls? If Lothar nodded, they could rush into a tent at any time.”
Viviana defended Lothar seriously: “Lothar is not a man who covets beauty. When he was emperor and king, he didn’t even use maids.”
Lavinia glanced at Lothar meaningfully and said: “Maybe he is used to eating white bread at home and can’t swallow the black bread outside.”
Lothar was a little embarrassed: “Okay, these gifts, leave them to me. Do you want to continue to appreciate the customs and customs of Texas, or go back to Wolfburg with me directly?”
As he said, he opened the King’s Ring and accepted all the gifts.
He had sensed the intentions of the Texans. They did not want to lose their original freedom, even the Dixies who moved from the Thirteen Colonies.
The Basilicata family created more than just a paradise for the wolf tribe in Texas.
Once occupied by the British, most people would become inferior. Especially those who were mixed with the natives, they were neither accepted by the natives nor considered white.
Before, when Mexico was still in the Spanish colonial era, mixed-race Hispanics like them had suffered a lot of persecution and even massacres, not to mention that even if they were orthodox Hispanics, they had no status in the thirteen colonies.
They resisted the rule of the British even more than the wolf tribe. After all, with the strength of the Texas wolf tribe, at most they would abandon Texas and continue to move westward, or directly move south to a small South American country, and they could conquer a piece of land that belonged to them anywhere.
But they had no room to retreat at all. For them, moving westward was a gamble of life and death, and their survival rate was not as good as mining for the British.
Unfortunately, they were not the people under their rule, and “popularity” could not take effect.
Lavinia shook her head: “Go back, there’s nothing to see next. The British are like locusts, bringing disaster and pain to every corner of the world.”
Viviana frowned. In this era of wild development and the survival of the fittest, the situation of every European country is actually similar, and they are all in a situation of either advancing or retreating.
Her motherland has also tried overseas exploration, but because it is located in Central Europe, it has not achieved much success. And because of the territories of Galicia, Illyria and Transleitania as alternatives to colonies, overseas colonization has been repeatedly shelved.
She does not approve of this kind of aggression and expansion, but if her motherland is content with the status quo, won’t it sooner or later be surpassed and defeated by the enemies who are expanding their territory in the world?
The “natural border” advocated by the French, that is, pushing the national border to the Rhine River, is not just a simple talk, not to mention that the Rhine region also has coal resources that are in short supply in France.
From this perspective, all crows are black, but Great Britain occupies the most territory and the widest area, so it seems particularly black.
Lothar smiled and said, “Ladies, are you ready to fly?”
The air became scorching hot, and the huge dragon body suddenly appeared, causing a burst of exclamations, and carried the two women into the sky.
Only the Eclipse was left in place, making an unwilling hiss.
The strong wind blew open Viviana’s hood, and her platinum-gold hair fluttered in the air.
She quickly reached out to press the hood, and with the other hand, she and the judge grabbed the bone spurs on the dragon’s back on the left and right: “Lothar, you just left the Eclipse there?”
“I have told it to return to Wolfburg with the Texans. I can’t let it ride on my back, its hooves will slip.”
Lothar spread his broad wings and soared in the wind, which was very labor-saving and comfortable.
The true dragon transformation did not consume any extra energy for him. As he used this ability more and more frequently, his control of the true dragon body became more and more proficient.
Lavinia’s voice came from behind her ear: “Lothar, can we help the Texans win this war?”
What she saw and heard these days had a great impact on Lavinia. If Lothar hadn’t invited her, she felt that it would be a good thing for her to come to this land to live.
“Of course, we will win.”
“Lothar, you often say that I am an idealist. If what you said is right, this place is like the ideal country in my mind. Although it is still very rough and primitive, there is still discrimination between ethnic groups, and the possibility of corruption in the future cannot be ruled out…”
“But Mr. Giuliano is undoubtedly on the right path. It would be a pity if such a beautiful place was destroyed by the British.”
Lothar’s voice became much more serious this time: “Before the British army arrived, we had already weakened them a lot.”
“We will win this war, for the continued existence of this ideal country, for the hardworking people living here, and for the common ideals in our hearts.”
Lavinia smiled: “Don’t look at it stupidly, Viviana, you Say something too.”
“Ah?”
Viviana was silent for a while before saying, “I like this place too. Although there are distinctions of high and low here, and there are also distinctions of class, it is by no means as strict and insurmountable as Europe.”
“Haha, you are fighting for the will of the Texans, just think of it as fighting for Germany, your motherland.”
Lavinia smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Viviana’s face: “Will it be more motivated to think this way?”
Viviana hurriedly hid: “I would do it even if I didn’t think so. As a knight, I should help the weak and fight the strong.”
Losa couldn’t help but tease: “Nia, have you been with Jeanne for a long time recently? I find that you are more and more like her.”
He could feel that Jeanne was very happy with what she saw and heard in Texas, and she felt like a big stone had fallen.
Lavinia put away her movements and became serious again.
“Well, I won’t knock on your door in the middle of the night like her. “
