Law of the Devil

In the past few days, several major events have happened in the capital.

At that honor ceremony. The miracles displayed and the frenzied atmosphere at the scene made most people lose their minds. And taking advantage of this momentum, Prince Chen and Du Wei. It is very evil to announce the candidate for the heir to the throne.

For Du Wei, this is simply a despicable act of "promoting superstition"! But Prince Chen appreciates it very much.

Although some people have various doubts in their hearts afterwards, after all, not everyone is a fool. Will be confused by Du Wei and Prince Chen, a pair of monarchs and ministers. But... With the heavyweight ally Mr. Yago Doug, the chairman of the magic union, the chairman of the J Kui mainland magic union announced that the miracle was a real miracle! It was not made by magic...

this aspect. Who dares to stand up and say that his judgment is more authoritative than the chairman of the Magic Union?

The fanatical superstition color gave Prince Charlie's succession a layer of sacred color.

Opposition is also good. Doubt it.

In short, above the square. Prince Chen has already read the old emperor's will, and has turned this matter into a "fait accompli"! The ears of tens of thousands of people present have heard the official announcement of the royal family. Can anyone stop anything?

then. Behind is the funeral of the old emperor in full swing. The funeral is not too grand, but it is not too brief, and it is a serious enough ceremony. Ended the reign of His Majesty Augustine VI over the continent.

Then came the succession ceremony of the new emperor.

In the biggest hall in the imperial city, Prince Chen personally held his son's hand. Put him on the throne of the throne, watching little Prince Charlie wearing the crown. Many dignitaries and ministers of the empire sighed in their hearts: What exactly does our regent want to do? Why doesn't he become emperor himself?

fortunately. Although the ten-year-old child sat on the throne, the power of the empire was still in the hands of the regent. All decrees remain the same!

As for our new emperor Charlie, he only needs to hold a court meeting every once in a while. Just sit on the throne and put on a show. As for the usual time. He can still be in the palace. Continue to study elsewhere, and occasionally hunt on horseback.

Of course, he has a new job: learning magic!

His Majesty the Emperor Charles. Thanks to the chairman of the Magic Union, Mr. Yago Doug, as a magic teacher. It was quickly revealed, as the chairman of the magic union. It is enough to be an emperor's teacher.

It's just... It seems that this is not in line with tradition, everyone knows it. The royal family themselves maintain an army of royal court magicians. In the past, even if the children of the royal family were interested in learning magic, it was only done in the court.

A detail worth mentioning is:

At the succession ceremony of the new emperor Charles. His Majesty Pope Paul XVI of the Temple of Light in the Mainland. Did not attend the ceremony in person according to the tradition! Instead, he was absent from the succession ceremony under the pretext of his health. Only the recognized successor of the Pope was sent. His Excellency Archbishop Maximus came in his stead.

"That's where we failed."

Inside the church, in the prayer room of His Majesty the Pope. Opdis used a slightly mocking tone. Looking at His Majesty the great Pope: "Look, we all know that we need 'unity' now, so. Before you used the excuse of unity to persecute and threaten the royal family, but now, they use 'unity' to threaten and persecute us instead! If they dare to do this, they are convinced that at this stage, we dare not turn our backs."

Opdis looked at the old face of the Pope: "I'm sure, everything is the idea of ​​the Tulip Duke, it's ridiculous. You humans always like to care about some small profits, but this Tulip Duke. He sees more than you Far."

The Pope looked at the "angel" who he hated more and more, and said coldly, "Oh. Then Opdis, do you have any ideas?"

"It's like the thing we did in the dry land in the northwest. Unfortunately, we failed." Opdis said indifferently: "At all costs. Let the tulip family and the royal family break apart."

"No matter how powerful Du Wei is. He is just a noble family. Even if he is powerful...I don't understand, respected angel, Opdis." The pope said coldly: "Why. You always have to be concerned about this People are so concerned! If it wasn’t for your insistence and a series of actions that angered Du Wei, he wouldn’t have become so tough!”

These debates about Du Wei. He himself could not hear.

After the emperor's succession ceremony, Du Wei had already left the imperial capital.

The last phase of the Kaspersky line of defense in the north of the mainland has finally been completed!

Don't know why. An order from the Regent. Let Du Wei take charge of the acceptance of the most expensive military defense line in the empire. At the same time, he was also in charge of the Stormtroopers stationed in the north, as well as the newly formed Thunder God's Whip Legion. Send a top-secret document jointly signed by His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Regent!.

and. The regent gave Du Wei a task: look at that line of defense. Is it strong enough! Also. The Northwest Independent Division has already marched to the north. It will be officially renamed there! The designation of the Northwest Independent Division has since been cancelled. They will get a new name: Imperial Air Force!

Actually. Du Wei's itinerary. Deliberately advanced two days.

On the second night after the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. He set off in a carriage.

so. When the Northwest Independent Division, led by General Andre, came to Kaspersky's line of defense on a long journey, Du Wei himself had already arrived here first.

These months. After the military high command continuously issued one by one mobilization orders, in the north of the empire, the imperial army was frequently mobilized, and the area where the army was deployed had also undergone tremendous changes.

The Northern Storm Legion had been stationed at the southern end of the Frozen Forest. They have already retreated in an all-round way, giving up the camp that was originally set up at the southern end of the frozen forest, all the military supplies, food and grass, and so on. All brought back.

Almost all villages and towns near the south of the frozen forest also started mobilization and relocation work as early as last year.

It can be said. Now from the frozen forest to the south, it is on the land of the empire that is 150 miles long. There are no more people.

For this reason, the Imperial Treasury paid more than one million gold coins for demolition and resettlement.

Most of the residents relocated to the southern part of the Kaspersky Line. For a small number of people who lost their land, the empire has made some compensation-the Northwest Tulip Duke's territory, and the Desa province has always been sparsely populated. Many people were resettled and moved to the northwest, where. They can get new land.

Du Wei did another small favor to the Imperial Treasury. The land obtained is a large number of farmers who can arable land.

in the South. Perhaps no one felt it.

But in the northern land of the empire, it seems that it was a long time ago. There is already a sense of tension in here!

Large tracts of villages and towns began to relocate. Every household is going south, one by one to a small city. Soldiers are tearing down the walls. Move usable stone to the south to supplement the Kaspersky line. And farmland... anyway, there are not many farmlands in this cold area.

The grain that can be harvested should be harvested as soon as possible, as for the others. Just set it on fire!

This is a typical practice of "strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness"!

The soldiers below knew it very well, and the junior officers knew it well. Although everyone doesn't know why. However, when the strict military orders were suppressed, these elite main battle regiments of the Empire showed extremely high discipline!

Kaspersky Line of Defense. As the most expensive military defense line of the empire. It is located in the northern border of the Empire Continent, about 150 to 200 miles south of the Frozen Forest.

The terrain here has been carefully selected.

To the west of it is a branch of the Qili Ma Mule Mountain Range. Rocky mountain peaks. It is dangerous enough, and a natural river leading to the sea in the east has been excavated into a huge and wide artificial river after nearly two years of excavation! And. Go deep into the belly of the mainland!

Once the war comes. The empire's navy can even sail directly from this river to the interior of the mainland, above the river. Attack on land!

And the Kaspersky line of defense. This line of defense. It is not just a city wall in the simple sense as imagined.

The main body of the Kaspersky line of defense is composed of three huge military fortresses, on the east side. west, middle. One is set up for each! Each military fortress is built according to the standards that far exceed the first-level military fortress of the empire.

The military forts on both sides are slightly smaller, but they are enough to accommodate more than 100,000 troops! There are a lot of weapons and supplies stored. Even if there is a big war, it is enough for an army of 100,000 to last a year in the fortress!

The main fortress in the middle is the most important thing. The city wall here is a diamond-shaped design with the strongest defense! The lowest part is also as high as 15 meters! The average height has reached more than 23 meters!

And, most outrageously. The city gate is not on the ground! It's... in the air! The city gate is about five meters above the ground!

According to the design, outside the city gate. The designed ramp is only about four meters wide and fifty meters long! If you want to enter the fortress, you can only go all the way up this ramp. Then enter the city gate!

Designed like this. So that once the war comes, attack the enemy in the fortress. To break through the city gate. You can only march up along this ramp, and only a ramp with a width of four meters will force the enemy to be unable to invest too many troops at once to attack the city gate!

even. If you want to use the crash car to break the city gate, then you want to push the crash car up the ramp. It will also be a very difficult job!

Imagine being at war. You will break through the gates. A large number of soldiers must be pushed up the 50-meter-long ramp—and still uphill! At the same time, they are on the city wall. There is also boiling hot oil and water. Intensive arrow rain. Huge stone...

Just thinking about it, you will feel that this thing must be an extremely hard bone! Very hard!

Moreover, above the city wall. About every ten meters or so, there is a tower. The tower is built with the strongest monolithic boulder, even if it is directly hit by the enemy's trebuchet. It will not collapse immediately, and has enough ability to withstand blows.

in every tower. Set up a huge ballista for a naval warship!

On the continuous city wall, there is such a ballista at a distance of ten meters, which was built locally without any hesitation. Of course, Du Wei spent a lot of gold coins!

And needless to say, that guy from Delanshan Warcraft is in the arms business. He also put in a lot of effort.

east side. west side. In the middle, the three major fortresses were all built according to this standard, and there was an auxiliary line of defense between the three major fortresses. There is also an open passage in the rear... The passage is wide enough for carriages to pass through! Once the war starts. If one of the fortresses is tight. Then go through this corridor. Aid can be received directly from other strongholds!

"This is a line of defense that is impossible to break through."

The person who said this was the head of the Storm Legion, the old general of the empire, Lord Rostock, the old general who joined the army with Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond. Based on his rich experience, he made such a judgment.

"Such a line of defense, even if you give me a million troops, I'm still not sure of breaking through it."

Du Wei looked at the general Rostock beside him. Listen to the other party's sigh.

The head of the Storm Legion. He has served the empire for many years. He is a soldier with a real practical style and has a strong prestige in the imperial military. At the same time, he is also a friend of the Luo Lin family.

and. When Du Wei came here to inspect this line of defense, as a special minister who was appointed by the emperor, Du Wei had a distinguished status. General Rostock personally accompanied him here.

And the other legion leader, the leader of the newly formed Thor's Whip Legion. That Du Wei's political enemy. Alpay. But he didn't come to accompany him in person.

It seemed that the guy put on airs in front of Du Wei, and knew that the relationship between the two was stiff. He simply hid in the commander's mansion in the fortress on the pretext of being busy with military affairs and did not show up.

In fact, Du Wei has been here for a day, and he hasn't seen General Alpay yet.

When Du Wei arrived here last night, General Rostock also came to greet him. It is said that Alpay "just happened" to inspect other barracks last night and was not in the city.

If you don't see it, you won't see it. Du Wei didn't care either.

Hearing General Rostock's admiration, Du Wei felt a little uneasy, so he looked at the old general's face. Seriously said: "General... There is no unbreakable fortress in this world. There has never been one."

Standing on the wall. Du Wei has seen enough.

This line of defense is indeed worthy of the huge amount of gold coins it has cast. It's really worth that price. Also hard enough. strong enough!

And the army stationed in it. It is also the most powerful Stormtrooper in the empire. And the Thor's Whip established on the basis of the Storm Legion.

As for the Northwest Independent Division transformed into the Imperial Air Force, after arriving here, it will be stationed south of the line of defense. There is a newly built "air force base" there.

"Master General." Du Wei looked at Rostock and smiled, "I brought a top-secret document. This document is only authorized to be read by you and General Alpay, of course. You read it After that, you have the right to disclose the matter to your trusted confidant generals. His Royal Highness means that this is a very important news, and he is worried that the disclosure of this news will cause instability in the army. Therefore, we must proceed carefully. Now It's time. It's time to test your control over the army. This news may be shocking, or it may make people panic, but what we need is... to stabilize the morale of the army!"

talking. Du Wei patted his chest: "This document is in my arms. We can go back to the Commander's Mansion now. I have seen enough. I am very satisfied with this line of defense."

Rostock was silent for a while, and lowered his voice: "Du Wei, is there going to be a war? I understand. The empire has done so many things. It is obviously preparing for a huge war, but the only thing I don't understand is Who is our enemy? Are there any enemies in the north of the mainland? Is it to deal with those monsters? I have found many contacts to inquire, but even my old friend in the imperial headquarters has no idea about this matter. I don't know."

"This top-secret document I brought can answer your questions... There is indeed a war going on. A big battle!"

Du Wei smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, only seriousness. .
