Law of the Devil

"Du Wei is telling me his bottom line." Prince Chen smiled lightly. He casually extinguished the candle on the table, and walked out of the study with his hands behind his back.

In the early morning, after a long absence from the sun, it finally came down, the continuous days of cloudy and snowy weather. It seems that it has finally come to an end. The sun, which rarely shows its face, makes people feel a little cheerful after seeing it.

"Whether it's friction in the Northwest Tulip family's territory, or deliberately using the grassland to exert pressure, it's all a 'false power'. The only real power is in the imperial capital, right beside me." Prince Chen stared at the same. He whispered: "From top to bottom, the Tulip family is entrusted to Du Wei alone. If you want to wipe out Tulip, then the most direct and effective way is to get rid of Du Wei first. But Du Wei deliberately kept himself in the imperial capital. Under my nose, this is his 'resistance'. His 'struggle'."

"But... Lord Tulip is the top powerhouse in the mainland, even if we get rid of him, it will not be an easy task." In the door of the study, the red figure never came out with Prince Chen. Instead, he stood quietly in the shadow of the study.

"The strong...is also human." Prince Chen shook his head: "Even if a person is extremely strong, it is impossible for him to be flawless. No matter how strong an individual is, he cannot stand against the entire country. At most... he will become a destructive force." Besides...the strong are human beings. Human beings have relatives and friendship. Family members, children, friends, subordinates, subjects, etc. are restrained. No matter how strong Du Wei himself is, is he by his side? Are all people strong? If I raise the butcher knife, even if I can't kill Du Wei, can't I kill his relatives and subordinates? Hmph..."

With his hands behind his back, Prince Chen faced the cold wind in the morning. Suddenly coughed twice. He frowned slightly. There was a faint pain in his chest, but he remembered that he forgot to take the medicine last night.

"He was telling me... Du Wei didn't want to rebel. He showed up in the northwest to confront the imperial army. It was just self-protection. On the one hand, he showed his power. It made me afraid. On the one hand .And deliberately put all of his own wealth in the imperial capital. Right next to me...this is my peace of mind." Chen smiled lightly, although there was still a bit of pain between his brows. But there seemed to be a hint of spirit in those eyes: "Looking at the empire, this chess player...only Du Wei is worthy of playing chess with me."

"Tell me. When are those monsters planning to wait before attacking?"

The main northern wall of the Kaspersky Line. The son of General Rostock. Rosenthal stared fixedly at the north.

Beside him was a young general in military uniform. Lined with a soft leather jacket, he held a broad-edged knight's long sword in his hand, and was sitting on a wall, gently wiping the edge of the sword. This young officer has a pair of keen eyes. There is a medal hanging on the chest, officially in this war. The cavalry general Miro who played the first battle.

As the generals of the young and strong faction in the Storm Legion, Miro and Royenthal have always had a good personal relationship. Today, the two of them took turns patrolling the city wall, looking at the huge enemy camps in the north. I thought of this winter that was about to pass. The two sides confronted each other almost calmly, and they couldn't help being a little suspicious.

"Maybe these guys are going to hibernate." Milo said coldly, "They all look like beasts. Maybe they'll hide and sleep when the weather gets cold."

This saying is also quite popular in the Storm Legion. Many human officers will call these monsters as beasts when they talk about them.

In the past to this winter. The weather in the north is not as cold as that in the south. This kind of warm winter season is rare in the past.

Even some very hot weather. Standing in the sun wearing a leather jacket. It can make people sweat.

Originally, the eastern fortress also prepared a winter defense plan: because the defense system of the eastern fortress relied on the river. In order to prevent the river from freezing in winter, the enemy will take the opportunity to cross the river, and the front line of the war zone has already sent troops out of the fort to garrison the river. It also mobilized enough labor to prepare for digging ice at all times—but all of this became useless.

all winter. There is not even a single snowfall in the north.

The sinners have never attacked in large scale. In the first two months, a few teams were sent scattered at intervals to feign attacks for a while, but it was obvious that the investment in the attack was not strong. As long as human beings resist a little, the sinners will retreat.

And later. Even this pretentious feint was gone, and it even appeared for more than ten days in a row. Both sides are in peace.

What the hell are the criminals doing?

If you say the answer. I'm afraid that both Reoenthal and Miro will stare.

This answer is weird:

cut trees!

The army of the elves is the last race to reach the front line. But with the arrival of the Elf King, with Luoxue's strength and prestige. Although Bronze Tiger and Rock of the orc tribe were dissatisfied in their hearts, they were not willing to disobey Luoxue's intentions on the surface. After all, in the previous agreement of the several clans, Luoxue was still the commander of everyone. Even if he felt a little dissatisfied, Luoxue's strength was there, and Dominis of the wolf clan also firmly supported Luoxue, and... the previous continuous attacks on the human Kaspersky Fortress were tragic. But no actual results have been achieved.

Even though the two of them were unwilling to obey Luo Xuedi's order, they understood. In terms of wisdom, the orcs are far behind the elves, and they still have to be convinced by the wisdom of Luoxuedi.

As a result, Luoxue successfully took over the command. A series of orders. The offensive against humans gradually slowed down. There are still tens of thousands of orcs left on the front line to maintain the pressure on the human line of defense. And more orcs. But batch after batch they were transferred back from the front line.

Snowfall's strategy is simple: strengthen control over the occupied area as soon as possible.

then. In a few months, a large number of orc warriors changed from warriors to farmers. became a craftsman. Become a lumberjack.

With the help of dwarves. South of the Frozen Forest. On the land north of the human line of defense. On the basis of the ruins of the towns and cities abandoned by humans, crude settlements have been established one after another. These settlements are exactly the "immigrant settlements" in Luoxue's conception.

After the war began, humans deliberately gave up a large piece of land north of Kaspersky's line of defense. And this piece of land, in the eyes of human beings, is a barren and barren place. In the past, this area didn't produce much food, and the vast majority of the local residents made a living by trading underground in the frozen forest.

But. After all, after the war started, there were as many as a dozen abandoned towns, all of which were later turned into ruins, and now. Snowfall is very simple: make use of these ruins and rebuild the towns that belong to the orcs!.

"We don't stay here for a while and go back! Start now. Build this place as our home! Houses. Towns. Roads, walls..."

Under the order of Luoxuedi, the orcs gathered their energy and began to build their own homeland.

Orcs are born strong and strong. It is excellent labor. Plus there is technical assistance from the dwarves. In just a few months. A few rough and huge towns are quite large.

at the same time. The orcs began to cut down the frozen forest.

The frozen forest is vast. If you look at it from the area. Covering a land roughly equivalent to two and a half provinces of the empire. And Luoxueqian's strategy is also very simple: Cut forests into fields!

Large tracts of forests have been cut down. Timber was moved to build towns, and land was vacated. Then after burning. turned into farmland.

The land here is barren and barren by human standards. But it is much, much more fertile than the place where the sinners originally lived.

It just so happens that the climate is eerily warm this winter. The orcs began to farm desperately.

In the coming spring, flowers bloom and grain is harvested. With enough capital, it's time for criminals to launch an offensive!

Walking in the snow is a long-term road: first gain a firm foothold, and then slow down step by step.

"What is real occupation? It's not that our soldiers stand on this land with knives. It's called 'occupation'! Wait for this land. We built our own towns and planted our own land. Land food, our family lives in the house... After that, this place can really be regarded as our own land!"

Luoxue explained this to the orcs, although the orcs were naturally simple-minded. But this is a simple truth. Still convinced the majority.

As February 966 of the empire gradually passed, the wind became warmer day by day. After the orcs experienced the winter, many orcs had already begun to shed their hair, and the giant wolves of the wolf clan had also grown thick hair. Fat. The fighters had a winter's rest.

Those felled forests. turned into wood. It has become countless siege machines. It became the residence of orc warriors. Walled City. offensive……

It can be said that if human beings launched an "air strike" in the middle of the night last year. If it happened today. Well, even if humans have ground troops to attack. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to completely drive the orcs back into the frozen forest in one battle!

Because, on this piece of land in the north. One by one, the forts belonged to the orcs. Forts, towns. It has been firmly nailed to this land like a nail. Give this land. Marked with a deep imprint!

At the end of February. From the far north, there were batch after batch of orcs. elves. The dwarves, etc., etc., the criminal land brigade came to Roland Continent. But this time it wasn't all fighters.

Rather. A large number of "sinners" who migrated from the sinful land that was exiled for thousands of years!

There are old and weak, women and children. There are young and strong!

Until this moment. criminals. It is the first step of their return in the true sense. Meanwhile, in the north. Established a home that belongs to them - or rather. Attack the bridgehead of the human world!

"This will be a long process. Don't expect to end this holy war in three to five years." Luoxue said to all the orcs. The leader of the elves and dwarves said: "Our strategy is: nibble! Swallow bit by bit. Eat bit by bit, bite bit by bit! But make sure that every bite is eaten by us. The land can quickly become our real territory, and if we want this place to truly become our home, we must first take root here."

A healthy horse gallops on the road leading to the north.

The empire's great road to the north. The army transferred to the north can be seen all the time. Grain and supplies. There are also teams of civilian men who have been recruited. Just after the end of winter, they started to repair the roads. Prepare for future wars.

One person and one horse all the way to the north, I don't know how many such scenes I saw. Muse, who was crouching on the horse, felt that the closer to the north, the more deeply felt the atmosphere of war, and these. It was something I had never experienced in the northwest or in the imperial capital.

Run away from marriage. Muse knew he couldn't go back to the northwest, if he went back to the northwest. Most of the time, my sister will send someone to arrest me.

so. The choice of muse is the north.

General Longbottom was on the northern front at this moment. It is said that he was appointed by Du Wei to command the mercenaries summoned from the mainland. Muse is now away from home. Unaccompanied. That is, you can't go back to the northwest. Then think about it. So I had no choice but to go to the north to join that fat man in Longbottom.

The horse is a fine prairie horse. And Muse's riding skills have also made great progress in the past few years honed in the Northwest. Although Mrs. Lister sent many family guard knights to look for Muse, but the current Muse. He is no longer the tomboy who only knew to contradict Du Wei back then.

Under Ruolin's hands for such a long time. She has learned a lot of ways in the army, at least, deliberately set up a few camouflages on the road. Draw away the pursuers behind. It is not too difficult for Muse.

Cleverly misdirected the attention of the pursuers to the northwest. Muse alone. He didn't even bring a bag, and immediately he only wore a long sword and entered the northern theater!.
