Chapter 744: The Will of the Texans

Chapter 744: The Will of the Texans

"Mr. Losa is back!"

A young wolf warrior suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look everyone, that's Mr. Lothar!"

Before they could say a few more words, the Texas border guards who were escorting the refugees came galloping over on their mounts.

Their faces were filled with reverence: "Mr. Losar, it's an honor to meet you again. I heard about what happened on the Florida coast. Ms. Jeanna said it was your doing?"

Losa admitted it generously, which then attracted cheers from the crowd.

"so amazing!"

"What I was most worried about before was the British airships. After all, they are said to be able to fly above the clouds and drop bombs on our heads. Even if we set up guns on the top of the mountain, we can't reach them at all."

The Wolf Tribe is not the Blood Court. They cannot have a bunch of constructed monsters as guards. They can also fly and use various magic to defend against aerial attacks.

In this era, air defense capabilities are already weak, and many countries have no concept of air defense at all.

Even if Patriarch Giuliano said that he would retreat to the mountain city and threaten the enemy with the explosion of the mine to prevent them from using heavy weapons, it was just a gamble that would put his fate in the hands of the enemy.

They all knew that white crystal veins were not so easy to explode. The British, who often used explosive materials such as white crystal, must have more in-depth research in this area.

They were likely able to find a way to bomb New Basilicata without affecting the white crystal veins.

It's just a matter of not using high-powered artillery fire, but small-scale bombing is inevitable.

"Everyone, come and see, this is Mr. Losa who helped us a lot!"

The border guards called out to the Texan civilians, who came forward to express their gratitude enthusiastically.

Many people took out gifts and gave them to Losa, and Viviana and Lavinia were no exception.

Soon they were covered with gifts from Texans: canned goods, beer, pickled oysters, lobster rolls, butter-pickled shrimp… countless portable delicacies.

As a country of immigrants, Texas is composed of civilized natives, Hispanic immigrants who are mixed with natives, Dixies, Italians, and German immigrants.

Their own food style is adapted to the local conditions of Texas, giving rise to all kinds of strange "delicacies".

Viviana held an arm full of gifts and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "These people are too enthusiastic."

Lavinia snorted softly: "We two are also benefiting from Lothar's help. No one has been so enthusiastic towards us before."

"You see those passionate girls? If Lothar nods, they can rush into a tent at any time."

Viviana defended Lothar seriously, "Lothar is not a man who is greedy for beauty. When he was emperor and king, he rarely used maids."

Lavinia glanced at Losa meaningfully and said, "Maybe he is used to eating white bread at home and can't swallow the black bread outside."

Losa was a little embarrassed: "Okay, leave these gifts to me. Do you want to continue to appreciate the customs and culture of Texas, or do you want to go back to Fort Wolfe with me directly?"

As he spoke, he opened the king's precious ring and accepted all the gifts.

He had sensed the Texans' intentions; they did not want to lose their original freedom, even the Dixies who had migrated from the Thirteen Colonies.

The Basilicata family created more than just a paradise for wolves in Texas.

Once occupied by the British, most people would become inferior, especially those of mixed Spanish and indigenous descent, who were neither accepted by the indigenous people 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 orthodox Hispanics had no status in the Thirteen Colonies.

They resisted British rule even more than the wolves did. After all, with the strength of the Texas wolves, the worst that could happen was that they abandoned Texas and continued westward, or went directly south to a small South American country. They could conquer a piece of land of their own anywhere.

But they had no room to retreat. Moving westward was a life-and-death gamble for them, and their survival rate was even lower than mining for the British.

Unfortunately, they are not the people under his rule, so "popular support" cannot be effective.

Lavinia shook her head. "Go back. There's nothing to see next. The British are like locusts, bringing disaster and suffering 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. They are all in a situation where they will either advance or retreat.

Her homeland also tried overseas exploration, but due to its location in Central Europe, it did not achieve much success. Also, because of the territories of Galicia, Illyria and Transleitania as alternative colonies, overseas colonization was repeatedly shelved.

She did not approve of this kind of aggression and expansion, but if her motherland remained content with the status quo, wouldn't it sooner or later be surpassed and defeated by the enemies who were expanding their territory in the world in great strides?

The "natural border" advocated by the French, that is, pushing the border to the Rhine River, is not just 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 Britain only appears to be particularly black because it occupies the largest and most extensive territory.

Losa smiled and said, "Ladies, are you ready to fly?"

The air became scorching hot, and the huge body of the dragon suddenly appeared, causing a burst of exclamations, and it flew into the sky carrying the two women.

Only the Eclipse was left standing there, letting out an unwilling roar.

The strong wind blew open Viviana's hood, and her long platinum hair fluttered in the air.

She quickly reached out to hold down the hood, and with her other hand, she and the judge grabbed the bone spurs on the dragon's back, one on each side. "Lothar, did you just leave the Eclipse there?"

"I've already told him to go back to Fort Wolfe with the Texans. I can't let him ride on my back. His hooves will slip."

Losa spread his broad wings and soared in the wind, which was very effortless and comfortable.

Transforming into a true dragon did not require any extra effort on his part. As he used this ability more and more frequently, he became more and more proficient in controlling the body of a true dragon.

Lavinia's voice came from behind her ear: "Lothar, can we help the Texans win this war?"

What Lavinia saw and heard during these days had a great impact on her. If it weren't for Losa's invitation, she felt that it would be a good thing for her to come to this land and live.

"Of course we will win."

"Losa, you often say that I am an idealist. If what you say is true, this place is like the ideal country in my mind. Although it is still very rough and primitive, and there is still discrimination between different ethnic groups, the possibility of corruption in the future cannot be ruled out..."

"But Mr. Giuliano is undoubtedly on the right track. It would be a shame if such a beautiful place were 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 survival of this ideal country, for the hardworking people living here, and for the common ideals in our hearts."

Lavinia smiled: "Don't just stand there, Viviana, say something too."

"what?"

Viviana was silent for a while before she said, "I like this place too. Although there are distinctions of high and low here, and there are also distinctions of class, it is definitely not as strict and insurmountable as in Europe."

"Haha, you are fighting for the will of the Texans, just think of it as fighting for Germany, your motherland."

Lavinia smiled and reached out to pinch Viviana’s cheek: “Will it be more motivating to think this way?”

Viviana quickly tried to hide: "I would have done it even if you didn't think so. As a knight, I should help the weak and punish the strong."

Losa couldn't help but teased, "Nia, have you been spending too much time with Jeanna recently? I find that you are becoming more and more like her."

He could sense that what he saw and heard in Texas made Jeanne very happy, as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Lavinia stopped her movements and became serious again.

"Well, I won't knock on your door in the middle of the night like she did."
