Law of the Devil

In General Andre's letter, in a tone full of guilt and apology, with a hint of trepidation, he reported to Du Wei what happened a few days ago. Tianhu team. The damage that occurred during the previous mission.

General Andre remembered it clearly. Du Wei told himself ten thousand times at the beginning that those ten people were handed over to him as a future military officer teaching team. Every member is an extremely precious pillar of the future.

But now... Zieg and others are on a mission for the first time. Damage happens. Two members of the Decepticon squad were killed - all elite officers of the Decepticon Sky Knights.

Of the two people killed in battle, one was a disciple who had been with Du Wei for several years. From the establishment of the Academy of Magic. It is the magic apprentice of Hogwarts College. Then he followed Du Wei all the way to the northwest. It can be said to be the direct line of Du Wei's direct line!

And the other name was "Rohart". When Du Wei saw the name. He was silent for a while, and he clearly remembered this young man, not just because Rohart was a loyal Luolin. It wasn't because Rohart's father was a carpenter in Rollins Manor, and it wasn't because he had once rewarded this kid with a magic boosting ring.

but because. This kid named Rohart is a young man in the Decepticon team, from Captain Zig down, everyone admires very much. He is a star of hope, when he was in the northwest. This kid once faced the third prince of the Dragon Clan Dilong alone. A golden dragon! A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This Rohart has excellent training performance and strong learning ability. Clever, calm and decisive - being able to stand out from a large group of veteran Decepticon squads, and squeeze into one of the ten front-line officer corps sent to the northern theater as a rookie, this is already reflected Rohart's status and potential in the Decepticon Air Riders has been confirmed.

The situation on the front line is not too optimistic.

The criminals attacked the empire's water fleet before. Later, this kind of attack also happened sporadically twice, but the empire has never figured out what the underwater troops of those criminals looked like.

And...the air power of the criminals. elves. He finally showed up, although he didn't know what kind of plan that Elf King Luoxue was planning. Because the elves have not officially entered the battle. Since these days. The main battlefield is still the main fortress of Kaspersky's defense line, and the main attacking force is still the criminal orcs, and the elves seem to be waiting for something...

In Andre's letter, the following is the joint signature of him and Zieg. Zieg also pleaded guilty to Du Wei in the letter, but Du Wei was annoyed. I also understand that frontline warfare is impermanent, but I can't blame them for this kind of thing.

Longbottom's secret letter was relatively simple. The fat man ran to lead those mercenaries all over the continent. Come these days. Under the means of the fat man's subway bowl. Those mobs also gradually took on some appearance.

However, the military commanders on the front line are from General Rostock down. It seems that most of the senior generals of the Storm Legion. They all dismissed these mercenaries from all over the mainland, and Longbottom asked for battle many times-these people can't be allowed to stay in the barracks to waste food, but the top management of the Storm Legion has not responded for a long time, obviously. They didn't believe in the fighting power of such a mob.

The fat man was very bored at the front line, and he was very quiet and wanted to move. In the end, he ran to General Andre, relying on his friendship and face in the Northwest. Forcibly asked for a "reconnaissance battalion" establishment from General Andre, and nominally hung this mercenary on the air force's signboard. "So as not to be angry with those generals of the Storm Legion again" was the fat man's original words.

General Andre couldn't save face. He could only agree to the fat man's request with a bitter face, and finally the fat man had the cheek to pass a fleet of airships from his hands.

result. The daring Longbottom unexpectedly led five hundred elites carefully selected from his subordinates. Just took advantage of the airship and set off. He didn't report back to the commander on the front line, so this guy took people with him privately. In an airship. First to the east, then to the north, a detour. Bypass the main fortress in the north, go all the way north from the fortress in the east, and finally use the airship. Airborne 500 people in the enemy-occupied area in the north!

After seeing this incident, Du Wei couldn't help laughing and crying-this bold and reckless fat man. Actually in silence. It was the epoch-making first airborne battle behind enemy lines in the military history of the Roland Continent?!

The dead fat man naturally didn't know that he had unintentionally turned his people into "airborne soldiers" in his misconduct, but he led these five hundred people to start a sweep in the area occupied by criminals.

Most of these five hundred mercenaries were smuggling groups or mercenary groups before they were born. Speaking of force cultivation base. Everyone is at least a low-level warrior, and many have the strength of a mid-level warrior.

Fatty took these 500 people and divided them into several teams. Before that, everyone stipulated a unified time and place for assembly, and agreed with the airship team on a time, and then retreated to the assembly point. Board the airship and retreat together... After finishing these, the fat man gave an order. These people are in the enemy-occupied area. Spread out like a nest of mice.

Such a group of people. If it comes to fighting head-on on the battlefield. The array charged forward. That is definitely not the opponent of the regular army, but if it is such a small group of elites rushing forward to fight. But he is definitely a good player, let alone. It is the ability to survive in the wild, and it is absolutely strong-many people have ventured into places such as frozen forests and southern swamps.

As for digging holes to ambush and setting up traps for sneak attacks, there is no more talk.

Just five days. These "surprise soldiers" knocked out a small group of wolf cavalry of the orcs in the enemy's rear. There are also many orc trains scattered to collect food and supplies. It can be said that the results are quite impressive.

In Fatty's words, since we are in an enemy-occupied area, we can't use the methods of the regular army. Instead, we should treat our group of people as bandits, as... a bandit group! as a smuggling group!!

And Fatty's battle strategy is even more simple and refined. To sum it up, there are only eight words: one swarms up, one blows away!

This method of combat is more in line with the appetite of those mercenaries: many of these people originally had a gangster background, whether they were mercenaries or smuggling groups. They are all good at lurking and fighting guerrillas with the regular army. .

result. Such a small swarm of locusts wandered around the occupied area of ​​the criminals for three full days and made several big deals. After the third day, the criminals discovered the existence of such a group of enemies and sent several teams of wolf cavalry to In order to destroy these "bandit soldiers", Fatty and a group of old mercenaries who lived in the frozen forest all year round led these wolf cavalry around the north for several times, and fought against each other sporadically on a small scale for two times during the period. Second-rate. Another siege and another ambush. Digging again. Another trap. It is also used to divide the troops and is used as a camouflage. Another four days passed. The wolf cavalry finally found out the exact traces of these humans.

But this time. Fatty and several other teams. The detour has been successfully completed. Successfully returned to the division at the pre-set assembly point, and prepared for a victory retreat.

If it is said, the matter ends here. Then Fatty's airborne harassment operation behind enemy lines can definitely be said to be a successful battle on the ground. And with its first epoch-making significance in the mainland. Enough to be included in military history. Compiled information. Write a book history. For study and research in military academies in later generations.

But. Just at the moment when the final escape is about to succeed. Fatty was surrounded by enemies.

This time, the elves are dispatched!

Facing the flying magic archers of the elves and the heavy and slow airship, there is absolutely no way to escape. Even Fatty sighed helplessly, thinking that this time his time limit was approaching, and he even made preparations. Fighting desperately, he even uttered bold words such as "kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one" in public.

result. Those elves with wings. After surrounding these people. But there was no attack, but after everyone waited in panic for a long time. The other party actually sent a negotiator.

Originally, the fat man thought that the other party wanted to force his side to surrender, but he was still very stubborn and prepared to refuse—but who knew, the other party had no intention of surrendering at all.

The elf sent to pass the message. I had a private conversation with Fatty directly, and left a sentence:

"This time, I am here at the order of the Elf King. My king has something to say; I have heard for a long time that General Longbottom is the most powerful general in the Tulip Duke's West. This time, I will treat it as a favor from my king to the Tulip family. Please, General Longbottom this time. After you go back, be sure to convey my king’s kindness to Lord Duke—there will be a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and we will meet later!"

The fat man was at a loss for words when he said this. But after the other party sent the message, with an order, the teams of elves flew away. They actually let Fatty and the gang retreat back safely!

Everyone thought that they were going to die this time. Everyone is full of doubts about the appearance of the rest of their lives after a catastrophe. But after all, the enemy has withdrawn. There are no more those flying in the sky around. There are so many elf archers... everyone is relieved.

After the fat man came back, the first thing he did was to order. Let everyone return to the barracks at the battle site, and at the same time issue a seal order not to let this matter out. A foot ban is to be issued, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the barracks at will.

Then. Fatty wrote a secret letter with his own hand, writing down what happened, and asked a Tulip family cavalry to send it back to the imperial capital to Du Wei.

Du Wei was naturally full of doubts after reading the letter!

The Elf King Luoxue. The guy who once pushed himself to the sky and to the ground. This time, he actually sold himself a huge favor! If the fat man Longbottom died. Then it would definitely be a huge blow to Du Wei——Mu Wei's downfall, except for the fat man. Can't find any strong leading generals.

What does the phrase "mountains and rivers meet each other" conveyed by the Elf King mean? Now that the two sides are fighting, it is life and death. There is absolutely no room for relaxation. at this time. The Elf King Luoxue opened the door... What is it?

Do you like yourself? What is the purpose of doing this?!

Du Wei was thinking about the contents of those two letters. at this time. In his ears, he heard Prince Regent Chen standing in front of the high platform throne intermittently, reading the "good news" from the front line in his accent with exaggerated atmosphere.

obviously. This "good news". It was carefully concocted by the frontline commander, General Rostock.

The old general. With profound qualifications, he has held a heavy army for many years. Sitting in the north of the empire. But apart from his great influence in the army, being able to sit in such a high position for many years without falling down is absolutely impossible for a purely simple-minded soldier.

Rostock is also very familiar with the various rules of the political arena.

The old commander deeply understands that the first year of the war this year will be the end of the year. According to the rule, it is natural to want the emperor to present some good gifts. Keep the bigwigs up there happy. This is the perfect way for officials to protect themselves, but they are on the front line. What gift to give. Only then can the bigwigs of the imperial capital be happy. This is what matters.

Giving money and generous gifts? I am the commander-in-chief of the front line, so why do I give others the excuse to report that I have embezzled military pay?

Now this battle has been fought for so long. When the year is approaching, what gift can make the king and the big bosses of the imperial capital more happy than a "big victory"?

Such a festive day, a good news. It's just the icing on the cake.

"Five days ago, the 4th Cavalry Division under our Stormwind Legion had a total of 6,000 soldiers. With the help of 3,000 knights from the Holy Knights of the Illuminati Church, our army fought in Kaicheng and fought against the enemy on the plains. The enemy charged six times and killed about 3,000 enemies. They also captured two of the enemy's leaders. After interrogation, they were verified as the emperor's middle-level officers. The enemy's prisoners were so strong that they died on a hunger strike for three days... Attached is the list of soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle and List of meritorious knights of the Holy Knights. Congratulations to our empire!!"

The Prince Regent read the good news aloud in public with a smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, there were many quick-witted people. Shouted loudly: "Victory at the front. Long live the Empire! His Majesty the Regent, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and mighty!"

As soon as he shouted, many people immediately responded loudly. All of a sudden, there was a flood of congratulations and flattery in the hall. There are even some people who saw the opportunity late, secretly annoyed themselves for being slow in responding. There is no first opening. Lost the jackpot. He even turned his mind quickly. Change the way and shout out a sentence of congratulatory words full of flowers.

There was a festive and jubilant atmosphere in the hall, the voices of people were boiling, and Prince Chen was aloof. Smiling. There is also quite a joy between the eyebrows.

Du Wei turned his eyes at this moment. Looking at Prince Chen above, he pondered in his heart. From the sporadic words of the battle report I heard just now. Du Wei decided. This good news must have water!.

Going out to fight in the field? Rostock has always been safe, but he dared to do such a risky thing? If he dared to take the risk, it would be the first "air strike" back then. It won't make Du Wei slap the table with anger.

There is a way... There is a way!

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a cough next to him. The old man named Gao Cha landed on Du Wei's face with that look, with a playful smile in his eyes. Suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "Your Excellency, the frontline soldiers have won the battle. But you don't seem so happy."

Du Wei's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at the old guy. Look calm. He said lightly: "Of course I am happy to have won the battle, but I don't need to show it too much. I am afraid that others will not know."

Speaking of which. Du Wei suddenly felt angry, and couldn't help but counterattacked and stabbed at the other party: "General Rostock fought bravely against the enemy in the main fortress. He made great achievements... but General Alpay's western fortress has not moved for a long time... "

The dinner party is in progress.

Different from previous years. This year, Prince Chen, out of concern for his son's face, gave up the glory of the first dance to Little Charlie.

His Majesty the little emperor felt a little satisfied in his heart, and landed in front of countless people. The little emperor stepped down from the throne amidst the sound of music. Under the countless expectant eyes around him, he slowly walked through the seats one by one - how many aristocratic girls waiting in the boudoir, looked at this twelve-year-old boy eagerly.

He is the emperor! And the emperor is still young. Never married. If I could... wouldn't I become the most noble woman on the continent in one leap?!

Du Weidi's "treatment" that everyone criticized at the beginning is now finally the little emperor's turn to enjoy.

But in the end. The little emperor came directly to Du Wei, in front of countless people. He came to Mrs. Liszt's family, facing the muse dressed as a female knight. I owe a bow. He stretched out his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Please."

At the same time, Du Wei and his younger brother Gabriel frowned involuntarily.

Gabriel frowned, naturally because he was a bit apprehensive - this bold and playful boy. She even thought about it a long time ago, tonight she will be the first place to invite Muse to dance - as for the unmarried Qin, she will be on the spot. He didn't care.

And Du Wei. Seeing the meaning in the eyes of the little emperor. It also confirmed the conjecture in my heart. Thinking of my brother's thoughts on Muse... this is not a good sign.

What was even more unexpected was that at the same time, I felt a little uneasy. And Mrs. Lister.

This noble husband who is well-known in the imperial aristocratic circle. Seeing the emperor's Majesty ask his sister to dance, he felt a little worried-this smart woman. She has long seen what Gabriel means to Muse, and she is also very optimistic about this pair in her heart.

Gabriel is Du Wei's younger brother, and the two brothers have a good relationship. With Du Wei's power, and Gabriel is about to inherit the Luo Lin family, such a future dignitary is destined to be generous and glorious. Naturally, it is a good match for Muse, and... tightly tied to Du Wei's family. It has become the route Mrs. Lister set for her family.

But His Majesty the Emperor...

Although the emperor's status is more noble and prominent than that of Earl Rollin, but. In the eyes of the clever Mrs. Lister, it may not be a good thing.

This Mrs. Liszt is also very smart, Du Wei has seen the royal family early on. Charles ascended the throne at a young age. But the Regent was still in his prime. The future struggle for imperial power. Hidden dangers have been left!

Clever Mrs. Lister. How can you fail to see the danger in the future? At this time. It's best not to get too close to the royal family. Stay away. That's the best policy. So as not to fight for the future imperial power. His entire family was involved in the whirlpool!

Muse looked at the little emperor in front of him, this tomboy. There was no joy on his face. hesitated for a moment. I owed my body, a little bit apologetic. Slowly said: "Sorry, Your Majesty. I can't dance."

I can not dance……

I can not dance!!!!

I can not dance???

Charlie heard this. Originally looking forward to the day eagerly. Suddenly, it was like a bucket of startled water poured down. Unavoidably, his complexion became a little ugly—who am he? The emperor! The ruler of the world! The one above ten thousand people!

She... how dare she refuse herself?

Can’t dance? A joke! I was born in a wealthy family, this kind of ceremonial dance is a compulsory course for every nobleman when he is young, how can he not dance?!!!

At this moment, Charlie was a little angry.

The mood that has been suppressed all the time, inevitably has a faint tendency to be uncontrollable.

However, he was also extremely smart after all, with a forced smile on his face, he took a deep look at Muse. Under the eyes of countless sighs or expectations or surprises around. Smart Charlie knew he couldn't lose his composure at this moment. He gave a wry smile. Shaking his head, he left Muse.

Why did she reject me?

Hmph! If I were a real emperor, would she dare to refuse? Would she refuse?!

Follow etiquette. He was supposed to choose a dance partner from among the other noble ladies. But at this time, under the eager eyes of countless young girls around, Charlie suddenly lost his mood.

He numbly glanced around, and then under the full view of everyone. but went to...

My sister!

Princess Karina showed no surprise at all. He watched his brother walk up to him. Not waiting for Charlie to extend his hand to invite. Just stood up.

The surroundings were filled with sighs and disappointment, and everyone remembered that Du Wei had also invited Princess Karina to escape—the little emperor. I got the true biography of Teacher Tulip Duke.

"Brother. Don't be unhappy."

With music. Karina and Charlie danced lightly, and the little princess comforted her brother softly: "Maybe Miss Muse really can't dance."

Charlie kept a polite smile on his face. But his eyes were a little gloomy. Lowering her voice, she said to herself coldly: "Hmph, I want to see if she will dance tonight!"

Many nobles deliberately praised His Majesty's graceful dancing posture loudly.

Du Wei sat in a wheelchair. But he yawned - he took this action to cover up the helplessness in his heart and the fluctuating thoughts.

Trouble... this matter is troublesome.

And at this moment. Suddenly, sitting on the throne. Prince Chen, who had always kept an elegant smile, coughed twice. Du Wei was startled by the sound. Looking secretly, I saw Prince Chen's expression. A little bit of paleness appeared faintly.

Prince Chen seemed to be sitting in a stiff posture. He whispered an order to an attendant beside him, and the attendant brought a cup of tea.

The distance between the two seats is not far. And Du Wei's nose is very bright. Immediately, I smelled a faintly familiar smell...

Ice berry! Sure enough, it is ice berry! Hmm... There are also several other herbs.

After taking two sips, Prince Chen still seemed to be trying to support himself. But there seems to be something wrong with the body. He sat down for a while. Finally stood up. With a deliberate smile, he said with a warm smile to the people around him: "I have some things to do later, I'll leave for a while."

Afterwards, surrounded by his entourage, the regent left quietly.

Under Du Wei's careful observation, the regent's back after he left, although the walking was fairly steady, his steps were a little bit floating.

pity. Du Wei only glanced at it, and immediately there were two court magicians in red robes. Followed behind, blocking Prince Chen's back.

Prince Chen left like this. No one else paid much attention to it, but Du Wei felt a little uneasy in his heart.

His illness...has become so serious??

Just thinking about it. After a while. The emperor's first dance has been completed, and the next first dance of the courtiers was originally calculated according to their status. It should be Du Wei. But Du Wei is now in a wheelchair, and today it's Camisiro's turn to support the scene.

Camisiro is the grand-nephew and son-in-law of the old prime minister, and now he is the minister of military affairs-although the time is still short, he has not been able to take care of all the veteran generals in the military. But the prominent position is already undoubtedly. He comes for the first dance. It also fits the bill.

After a while, Du Wei was thinking about it. But there was a palace attendant who came quietly from behind. Ran to Du Wei's side. He approached, lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency...His Royal Highness, please speak at the back."

Um?

Du Wei froze for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay."

Gabriel next to him didn't know the situation. He was about to push Du Wei's wheelchair. The waiter was a little embarrassed. Whispered: "The regent ordered. Only you..."

Du Wei smiled and said to Gabriel, "Okay. I'll go alone. You are here. Okay, don't cause any trouble."

He smiled at the waiter again: "Please push this wheelchair for me."

With the waiter pushing the wheelchair, Du Wei also left the banquet through the side door of the main hall. As soon as he left, many people around him saw it, that Gaocha. There is something complicated in the eyes. I don't know if it's jealousy or what.

The Prince Regent is close to and trusts Duke Tulip. Sure enough, it's not ordinary! If others want to get this kind of unique summoning opportunity, they can't even think of it.

After going out the side door, it closed with the door of the banquet hall. All the hustle and bustle and music in the hall were all shut inside the door.

It was already night, it was still cold outside, and there was a chill in the air.

The waiter pushed Du Wei all the way through a side hall. Two corridors were bypassed. On the way, I encountered two waves of guards standing guard outside. I saw that it was Du Wei. Hurry up to salute.

Just such cold weather. Du Wei saw that the waiter pushing the wheelchair had thin clothes. Seems to be shivering from the cold. He casually smiled and said, "This weather has also made it hard for you errand runners."

talking. He casually took out a piece of gold leaf from his bosom. When it was handed over to the waiter, the waiter seemed a little surprised. He glanced at Du Wei, hurriedly ordered his hands, and thanked him in a hurry, but his expression was a little nervous. I don't know if it's because of a big man like Du Wei, or because the weather is too cold. Fork or that piece of gold leaf is exciting. But it seemed to tremble even more.

"Well. Aren't we going to His Highness's study?" Du Wei looked at the road in front of him, which seemed to be a different direction than he was familiar with before.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has something to do. Please wait a moment. Your Highness will come to see you later."

The waiter replied cautiously, not more than a moment. Du Wei was led to a quiet palace.

Du Wei had never been to this place before, and it seemed to be a remote side hall. The area is small, but the decoration is still gorgeous. Thick carpet on the floor. Burning fireplace. It reflects the warmth of the lobby.

After Du Wei was sent into the hall. The waiter nodded and bowed in salute. just go down.

This lobby is too quiet, Du Wei is sitting here alone. I can't help but feel a little sullen, and, remembering that the regent was unwell and left just now, but now he suddenly wants to see himself in private... What does he want to say to himself?

What is he going to talk to himself about???

This question is very worth thinking about!!

Du Wei was secretly thinking, if...if for a while...Prince Chen, would he. Tell yourself directly about his illness?

No... probably not! Such a big secret. He shouldn't have told himself. But if he wants to say to himself...how should he respond?

Just as he was frowning and thinking, time seemed to pass very slowly.

At this moment. With a soft bang, the door of the lobby was pushed open. A court servant in a cotton robe. But it wasn't the person who sent Du Wei in just now. Holding a cup of tea and several plates of snacks in his hand, the waiter walked gently to Du Wei's side.

Du Wei looked. But there was a faint feeling of something strange in my heart. It's just that I couldn't figure out where this inappropriateness came from.

This waiter... as if...

Well, he seems a bit too tall Kong Wu!

With such a physique, it would not be surprising if he was a guard of the Imperial Forest Army, but such a person. But a servant?

Moreover, when he put the tea on the table, Du Wei accidentally glanced at this man's hand...the knuckles of his fingers are very thick!

As soon as he thought of this, Du Wei suddenly felt like a flash of lightning flashed across his heart, and he woke up suddenly!

Just at this very moment!!

The waiter put down the plate, but suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from the plate. With a flick of the wrist. The technique is obviously very clever! I saw that the dagger was sharp, but it had already stabbed towards Du Wei's chest and heart fiercely!

The two are very close at the moment. The place where the waiter was standing was less than half a step away from Du Wei! Such a close distance, such a sudden stab. It's extremely dangerous! Moreover, the dagger is shiny, with a strange blue tint, it is obviously coated with some kind of poison!

The man's reach was extremely sharp. between actions. It was very sturdy, and that short stab. Above the dagger, a group of silver rays of light erupted in an instant!

Fighting spirit!! Senior Samurai!!

assassin!!

flutter. There was a muffled sound. The dagger has pierced through the thick fur jacket. It stuck on Du Wei's chest and heart!!.
