Law of the Devil

As a new star in the empire's political arena, General Alpay, one of the three newcomer kings of the empire, has many halo titles:

For example, the title of Earl of the Empire, Lieutenant General of the Empire, Commander of the Thunder God's Whip...Of course, among these titles, there is a more or less complicated item: the political enemy of the Tulip family!

It is ironic that although many people now know that General Alpay is one of the few strongmen in the empire who dared to wrestle with Duke Tulip, but as Du Wei's political enemy, the 33-year-old Alpay Yi, but it was the first time to meet Du Wei.

This thing is interesting and subtle, isn't it?

The first meeting between the two should have been during the war that wiped out the Northwest Army two years earlier. At that time, Alpay was only a division commander of the Royal Guards.

But that time, this guy put on airs in front of Du Wei, not only did not go to see Du Wei, but also left without saying goodbye, and finally played a trick of "grabbing credit" with Du Wei and others.

Since Du Wei stepped into the political arena step by step, it can be said that Alpay is the only one who has succeeded in making Du Wei suffer a small loss. Prince Chen acquiesced to his robbery that time, and Du Wei and him later wrote letters to attack each other. Prince Chen also obviously silently supported the upstart of the imperial military.

If so, you think that this Alpay is a young, arrogant and ignorant guy. Then you are wrong!

This guy who dared to take credit with Du Wei at the beginning. When we met for the first time, Du Wei was a little surprised!

Thirty-three-year-old Alpay. From the appearance, it seems that he is a few years older than his actual age, if only from the appearance. I am afraid that some people will believe that he is forty years old!

more importantly. Du Wei met his younger sister. That beautiful and charming future princess. Miss Delly. But in terms of appearance, this Alpay obviously didn't inherit the family's beauty gene like his younger sister.

Alpay's facial features were regular—but only straight. It's a long, long way from "handsome". But he is strong. The body is straight, the shoulders are broad, and the fingers are thick and strong. At first glance, he looked like a soldier holding a sword all year round.

As for his eyes... Du Wei read "calm" from it!

This kind of calm is definitely not pretending, but in a long-term difficult environment. Cultivate the kind of "not to be surprised" that has become a habit!

For this political opponent. Du Wei has also done a full understanding, a few years ago, when he was young. It is not very good for Alpay to mix in his family. Life is also very difficult, not the kind of rich and wealthy children in the ordinary sense.

He was also attacked by hostile forces within the family, and in the end he suddenly rose to the top. It was also because he got the biggest opportunity in his life.

Put it this way: this General Alpay. It is a person who has lived a hard life and suffered a lot. so.

In his eyes, it is obvious that he is a little more determined than those children from traditional wealthy families.

He is definitely not a arrogant person. Du Wei is sure of this.

This time to meet. It was carried out in the commander-in-chief's mansion in the main part of the Kaspersky line of defense.

The two giants of the Northern Army of the Empire, General Rostock of the Storm Legion. General Alpay, head of the Thunder God's Whip Corps, read the secret order of the regent brought by Du Wei from the imperial capital.

The content of this secret order. Du Wei himself already knew: it was about the invasion of criminals in the future.

Everything. The regent had first confessed to the two military commanders in the north that he was relying on.

The content of this document is undoubtedly extremely astonishing! It can be said that it is appalling!

Du Wei can imagine. In this era, human beings are already the sole rulers of the continent, and the Roland Empire has been peaceful for hundreds of years. Although there are occasional local wars, the opponents are only those barbaric aliens in the northwest grassland, or the aborigines of Southeast Asia. Or internally separatist warlords.

From the perspective of the degree of harm, those are hard to shake the foundation of the empire... and, most importantly, those enemies, at least. They are human too!

But now it's different!

They were told that, soon, there would be a formidable enemy, rival for thousands of years. An alien race that humans don't even know about! Real outliers! It's not human... it's...

It's a monster!

This word should be considered very appropriate.

This is a huge psychological gap!

These brave imperial soldiers may not be afraid of those prairie cavalry. Because after all, the opponent is also human. But if you fight against "non-human beings", I am afraid that everyone will have an uncontrollable fear of the unknown.

This kind of mood is like the world in Du Wei's previous life, the imaginary alien invasion.

General Rostock looked very ugly, and the old general frowned tightly.

And Alpay's performance. That's why Du Wei was a little surprised: this guy's look has not changed from the beginning to the end. Still so deserted.

"Is this true?" General Rostock still asked such a ridiculous question even though the document had Prince Chen's autograph on it.

"It's all true." Du Wei said lightly, "It's still half a year at most. There will be tens of thousands or even more of these monsters running out of the frozen forest. These will be our enemies... ...enemies of all humanity. Their purpose is not to defeat us, but to exterminate us. This is not a war in the usual sense. Generals."

Alpay stood up at this time, took the document from General Rostock, he glanced at it twice, then sent it directly to the flame of the candle, and burned it!

"My lord, please go back and tell Your Highness that we have received his order, and we will be fully prepared for battle."

Alpay's voice was steady.

(This person must be naturally cold-blooded.) Du Wei thought to himself.

"Don't worry about the morale of the army." Rostock also expressed his position: "The Storm Legion is the strongest subway wall in the empire. My soldiers will not be timid. They will not mess around."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Du Wei's mission is complete. It's time to announce, he has already announced, as for how to rectify the morale of the army next, to ensure that the news will not cause turmoil after it spreads. This is the job of the two generals.

As for Du Wei... since the regent deliberately does not want Du Wei to intervene in the army. Then Du Wei won't intervene here. .

but. He still passes in private. He handed over a copy of the information he possessed to General Rostock. The information about the criminals was sent back by Boss Bai Hechou. Some descriptions of the fighting power of the criminals.

"These monsters are powerful. They are beast-like monsters, of course. These are not too bad. We have powerful weapons. The only trouble may come from the sky." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "According to reliable sources .They may have a large air force."

"So the Northwest Independent Division brought by Andre now. Will it become our air barrier?" Alpay interjected: "This is an independent division.

An air force built by gold? "

"That's it." Du Wei glanced at this political opponent: "I hope you can make good use of this air force. I have brought all the relevant information, the combat methods of this air force. There are many more...Of course Yes, these generals know about Andre, you can communicate with him more. General Andre is an old subordinate of General Rostock. I believe you will be able to cooperate well."

"In addition, there is good news that the first batch of students from the Empire's Academy of Magic four years ago are about to graduate. At the same time, in order to deal with this war, the Academy of Magic has also specially approved a group of outstanding students Graduation! Of course. In just three or four years, these students cannot grow into advanced magicians. The best of them have only reached the intermediate level, and most of them are only low-level magicians. But... this is after all An organized team of magicians. And it is different from the magicians sent by the magic union in the past. This group of magic students are all loyal to the empire! They will unconditionally obey the orders of the army commander, which is very convenient to dispatch. This can be regarded as the first time that the army of the empire has a real magical coordinated operation."

Du Wei laughed.

Rostock was very happy: "This is finally good news. With the help of a magician, it can help a lot."

"Those monsters also have races that are good at magic." Du Wei sighed: "His Royal Highness's request is that you control the morale and morale of the army. And this big event will be announced within two months. At that time, the people will definitely It's a little unstable. But as long as the army is stable, we don't have to worry about anything. And, when the time comes, the Magic Union, the Knights Association, and the Temple of Light will do their best to help us. After all, this is a war that concerns all mankind. war……"

All human beings... When Du Wei mentioned this word, he really felt an urge to laugh.

Du Wei's mission is completed here.

The next job. It belonged to these two generals. After he finished the task, he immediately took people back to the imperial capital.

Just before he left. He couldn't help but went up the city wall again. Take a look at this military defense line that can be called the strongest in the history of the empire...

Sturdy city walls are the most powerful weapons of war that human beings have now. The Roland Empire is currently the most elite main battle corps, as well as an air force that spans this era.

The tall walls, moats, and so on and so forth...

Such a powerful force should be able to stop those criminals!

Du Wei took one last look, jumped off the city wall, returned to his carriage convoy, and headed towards the Southern Imperial Capital.

At Du Wei's time, his political enemy, General Alpay, appeared on the city wall. The 33-year-old upstart of the imperial military looked coldly at the caravan that was going away on the road. His face was indifferent.

Then, he glanced at a deputy officer beside him, and suddenly asked, "Two days ago, when Duke Tulip first arrived, did General Rostock present him with a set of high-quality and precious armor? And a BMW?"

"Yes, my lord...but it doesn't seem to be a big deal. General Rostock has always had a good relationship with the Rollins family, and the gift of a set of armor and a horse doesn't seem to be a big deal."

"The land is really nothing." Alpay shrugged. Then he said in a flat tone: "Immediately help me draft a secret report. Sign my name and report it directly to His Royal Highness the Regent himself, and report that Duke Tulip has neglected his duties and received bribes during the inspection and acceptance process of Kaspersky Fortress. .”

"Ah..." The deputy officer was stunned, and after a while, this fellow cautiously whispered: "My lord. A horse. A suit of armor, isn't it a bribe?"

"Write as I said." Alpay said lightly.

As he spoke, he supported the city wall with his hands. Looking at the distance of the road. Sighed: "You don't understand. Your Highness has read this secret letter of denunciation. It is impossible to cause any harm to Duke Tulip. I understand. Your Highness understands better. Even if Duke Tulip knows this letter, he can only I will just laugh it off. It’s just that this is a signal that I am still at odds with Duke Tulip! You don’t understand these things.”

The upstart empire. An imperceptible wry smile finally appeared on the indifferent face: "Du Wei and I were not enemies at first, but because the regent wanted us to be enemies, so Du Wei and I became enemies."

———————————————————

Du Wei didn't return to the imperial capital right away. In fact, after traveling south for a while, he ran to the military base where Andre's Northwest Independent Division was stationed.

There, Du Wei secretly met with General Andre.

"Now this army is no longer my army." Du Wei was in a separate room. When facing General Andre, he said solemnly: "But I am very worried. After all, this is a new type of air force. No commander in the empire has experience in commanding this army! I am very worried. If you use it indiscriminately , It will cause a huge waste of our precious army! It will even cause soldiers to die in vain!"

Du Wei looked at General Andre: "Although you are from the Storm Legion. You are an old subordinate of General Rostock. You are also a strict soldier, but General Andre, although you participated in the creation of this army, you did not Really experienced the air combat of this army. So, I wrote this stuff."

Du Wei handed General Andre a booklet written by himself. The above is Du Wei's own operation of this air force, as well as some summaries of the role that the air force should play in the war in his own opinion. Ground analysis: the time when the Northwest Army was wiped out. .

"These things are some of my ideas. I can't give them to Rostock. Because after all, his qualifications are much higher than mine. If I give them to him, it will make him feel disgusted." Du Wei smiled wryly: "But you didn't Question, my friend, we have worked together in the Northwest for two years, you know me as a person, and I know you too."

"Although our hot air balloon airship is very mature, as an air combat force, the hot air balloon airship is still very fragile. First of all, it is too affected by the climate. It is not a good weapon for all-weather combat. Second, if the enemy does not have air power case. It will be a unparalleled weapon.

But I want you to understand, our enemy. They also have air units, and even they have more air units, more flexible, and faster single-unit battles. Possess air-to-air combat skills. As for our airship, in my opinion, the most suitable combat method is air-to-ground. And you also know that the airship is very fragile, once the sphere of the hot air balloon is damaged by the attack, it will cause the airship to fall. This is a huge weakness in war. Therefore, I think our use of airships should be mainly used to concentrate the number and bomb the enemy's ground forces. If we encounter a large number of enemy air units, we'd better let the airship withdraw! Because the airship lacks air-to-air combat effectiveness in the air, and moves relatively slowly, it is easy to become an enemy's target! "

General Andre listened carefully to Du Wei's opinion, and then he asked: "Then, Lord Duke, please forgive me, you have elite Decepticons under your command

group! Those air knights riding brooms, in my opinion, are more agile and impactful, and also have air-to-air combat effectiveness. Why don't you call the Decepticon squad..."

"Why don't you dedicate the Decepticon squad to the Imperial Army? Do you think I'm too selfish?" Du Wei smiled wryly.

Andre didn't speak, he just looked at Du Wei silently.

"My friend." Du Wei patted General Andre's shoulder hard: "You don't understand, the Decepticon team is too precious! And its number is too small! Now the entire Tulip family. There are less than four hundred A knight in the air! Moreover. Because of some special reasons that I cannot tell you, that kind of flying broom can no longer be mass-produced! In other words, this is a strange soldier that cannot be equipped in batches! Since it is a strange soldier, it cannot It should be used in regular combat! Believe me, once the war requires it, I will not hesitate to send the Decepticon Sky Knights to you! But it is definitely not the beginning of the war! Do you understand? Because the Decepticons It's too precious. We can't afford to lose it! We have to wait until the war has progressed to a certain stage. We have a full understanding of the enemy and summed up enough experience in dealing with the enemy. The Decepticon Sky Knight can be a surprise soldier Entering the war will have the greatest effect."

As he spoke, Du Wei smiled wryly and said, "If I had thousands of Decepticon Sky Knights, I would have sent them to you long ago.

pity. They are not regular troops! in my imagination. They should belong to special forces. "

Seeing Andre's disappointed expression, Du Wei sighed.

Andrea was really disappointed. It's just that this is not based on dissatisfaction with Du Wei. But a kind of helplessness.

Unlike others, he has been in the Northwest for two years, for the powerful team under Du Wei's command. Come and go without a trace, the Decepticon Sky Knights with super fast mobility, I am very envious! As a general, who wouldn't want his subordinates to have such an unpredictable army?

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much." Du Wei said with a smile: "I have a plan now, and if the plan goes well, it won't take a few years. We can equip a really huge one on a large scale. The air force! And the combat effectiveness will not be worse than the current combat effectiveness of the Decepticon Sky Knights!"

As he said that, Du Wei thought of the griffin boy in the imperial capital...

but. Du Wei still gave General Andre a small gift.

"Zig, you know? A student of the Academy of Magic. He was also my earliest student. He was the captain of the earliest Decepticon team! He once served as the instructor of your air force, which was established in the early days. I have issued an order .In about a few days, he will report to you with ten men... Ten members of the Decepticon squad! Bring their broomsticks and full equipment. This is a mobile force I have seconded to you And... the ten people brought by Chigurh are all the first members of the Decepticon team! They are all the most experienced sky knights. And... each of them is a student of the Imperial Academy of Magic. In other words, they are not only sky knights, but also qualified magicians. Although they are only low-level magicians. But I think. With the identity of these ten low-level magicians and Decepticon knights, the power of ten of them, If used properly, it is enough to generate a huge amount of energy!"

Du Wei's words made Andre immediately beam with joy: "This is great!"

"But I have a request for you. Andrea!"

Du Wei changed the subject, and his voice became extremely serious: "I gave you Zig and his ten people, not for you to use as cannon fodder! Not to mention for you to charge into battle! I only allow you Use them in some special missions, but if there is any danger of pointless damage. They can refuse your orders, do you understand? I give them to you. More meaning. I hope they Follow you and experience this war more. Accumulate more experience, use their eyes, their ears, and their personal experience. In the war as soon as possible, sum up a set of air force operations suitable for us Local methods and tactics! These ten are all carefully selected by me. The elites with the best talent, the strongest learning ability, and the best individual combat ability! These elites, I will use them in the future! So if you, Andre, if you dare to treat them as ordinary soldiers and use them to charge frontally, and waste them in vain, if one of them dies, and the death is worthless... Andre , I will definitely settle accounts with you!"

We have been dating in Northwest China for more than two years, and we have a good personal relationship. Andre was not at all unhappy with Du Wei's last stern warning. He looked at Du Wei gratefully: "Thank you! I promise, Make good use of the ten sky knights you lent me, God, with the Decepticon sky knights, even the sky scouts used as scouts are much better than those slow and clumsy hot air balloons under my command Already!".

"Make good use of it. It's best not to kill any of these ten people. These people will be of great use in the future. Especially Zig!" Du Wei sighed.

Andre silently glanced at Du Wei, then suddenly he sighed: "Du Wei, actually, I don't think you should stay in the imperial capital."

He frowned and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a hot-air balloon airship or an air knight. These are all things you made. Who else in this world knows how to use these special troops better than you? I don't think the empire should use them. You are thrown in the high command to do those jobs in the rear, you should come to the front and directly command these troops-no one knows better than you."

Du Wei smiled strangely: "Andre, there is no need to talk about this matter again. First, from the current point of view, the Regent will not allow me to directly take charge of the army. Second... I know very well that I am not I'm not a real soldier, and I command the army to fight. Many people are more expert than me in this regard. I know my strengths and my weaknesses. I think it will be good for everyone if I stay in the high command for a while."

However, next, Du Wei lowered his voice and muttered: "But, in the future, there may be a chance, who knows."

When parting, Du Wei gave Andre a strong hug: "My friend, I want to warn you! Because your army is a new type of army, there are only two results waiting for you in the war: either, you use the method Get it right and win a big victory, or, your army is used in the wrong way and there are heavy casualties!! Only these two results, I hope not the second! And, this war will be the worst we have ever seen, I think, For a long time between now and after the war begins, the two of us will not have the chance to meet again... You, take care! I hope you are still alive when we meet next time!".
