Law of the Devil

Just hearing this, Du Wei's heart trembled!

reinforcements?

The Roland Empire has 200,000 soldiers in the north! The Storm Legion is one of the four main battle legions of the empire. Whether it is excellent equipment or strong combat effectiveness, it is outstanding among the empire's armies! Two hundred thousand strong soldiers were placed at the southern end of the Frozen Forest. Although it was always said that it was to prevent monsters in the forest, it was also to prevent smuggling into the forest... In fact, there is another important role, which is to train soldiers!

Only in that kind of difficult environment can a strong soldier be honed.

It's not that Du Wei has never seen the Stormtroopers. When he was first brought into the Frozen Forest by Gandolf in the white robe, he was at the sentry outside the forest and saw with his own eyes the soldiers of the Stormtroopers, naked in such a cold world of ice and snow. Upper body, standing in the snow, grabbing the snow to scrub the body...

Such a scene once left a deep impression on Du Wei.

With such sturdy warriors, the fighting power of the Storm Legion can be seen! On the way out of the Frozen Forest and heading south, General Andre led cavalry to look for him. That mighty and terrifying lineup could indeed be called the first-class strong soldiers of the empire!

Such a powerful Stormtrooper... actually...

Are you going to ask for reinforcements?

Northern, what's the big mess? Du Wei said in a deep voice, With the strength of the Storm Legion, it can't be suppressed? Could it be...the Frozen Forest. What...

General Andre's expression changed. Shaking his head, he said, My lord, I'm sorry. I have no right to tell you these things. I have to report these situations directly to the high command when I arrive at the imperial capital. If possible, I will also be able to present it to His Royal Highness the Regent...

Du Wei was anxious. But his eyes rolled. smiled. Unhurriedly picked up the kettle on the table. Poured a glass of water for General Andre. He smiled and said, General Andre. Of course I understand military discipline. After all, I was also born in the Luo Lin family. Don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you. It's just... this matter is very important, not just about your Stormtroopers. .My trip is also returning to the imperial capital. I think. There are some things, maybe I can help.

Andrea was about to say something. But I heard a gentle voice behind me laughing and saying: General Andre, our lord duke absolutely didn't mean to spy on the military plane, let alone. With our lord duke's current status, such an important matter, the regent will definitely look for the duke My lord came to discuss it. Speaking of it, you are commanding the army abroad after all, and you don’t know much about the environment of the imperial capital. There are some things that you can’t expect to be purely business-like. If you have the help of the Duke, things will be much easier.”

As soon as Andrea turned his head, he saw Rodriguez standing behind him. His expression changed. And the cavalrymen around him suddenly became fierce. It turned out that Rodriguez came quietly behind him. So many people, but none of them noticed.

Andrea took a deep breath. Slowly said: It turns out to be His Excellency Yinxiao Sword Saint! Your Excellency Rodriguez. Have you already joined Lord Tulip Duke?

Du Wei was stunned for a moment: Yinxiao Sword Master?

Rodriguez smiled bitterly: This weird nickname. I don't know who gave it to me.

It turned out that during the coup, Rodriguez used the strength of the Holy Terrace. After killing the chief martial artist of the palace, the silver cold light of the Frost Dou Qi criss-crossed. Together with Rodriguez holding the beauty under the moon. The attitude of looking down at the world. Rumor has spread to the mainland.

His strength at the holy level naturally deserves the title of Sword Master, and Yin Xiao just alludes to his gorgeous appearance when he displays his Frost Fighting Qi.

Rodriguez turned to the table, stood beside Du Weidi, and said with a smile, General Andre, long time no see. Speaking of which, you are much more tired than when we met last time. Paused After a while, he smiled again: However, your cultivation base has increased by another level. When we met last time, you were still a sixth-level knight?

At this moment, the knight badge on General Andre's chest has become level seven.

Andre snorted, but said dejectedly: I can make a breakthrough only with the guidance of your Sword Master Yinxiao.

Hearing this, the two seemed to recognize each other. and. I'm afraid I have done it.

Du Wei glanced at Rodriguez. Rodriguez smiled and said, Master Duke, do you still remember that I went to the northern frozen forest after the coup d'etat? Before I entered the forest alone, I encountered the patrolling cavalry of the Storm Legion, too. Coincidentally, it was General Andre who led the team that time. General Andre wanted to stop me from entering the forest, but unfortunately I didn't listen...

Andre snorted angrily: You don't need to be so polite. It was you and I who wanted to stop you at first, but it turned out that you were not your opponent. You were defeated in a few hits. You are a holy warrior. Continental Invincible, I am a little sixth-level knight, and there are only a few hundred cavalry around me, so I will definitely not be able to stop you. You are still polite, no one hurt me, I already miss you very much.

Du Wei nodded, and then heard Rodriguez say: General Andrea, I am doing it for your own good. Speaking of which, I still have some sincere respect for the soldiers of the Storm Legion. You defend the border of the empire, I have really suffered a lot, and the soldiers in the Storm Legion are all good. Let me tell you...

He glanced at Du Wei, who immediately agreed and nodded slightly.

Rodriguez looked solemn, and continued: General Andre, you are not in the imperial capital, so you don't know the current situation in the empire. I won't ask you what's going on in the north, but I'll just say that you asked for reinforcements... But where are the reinforcements? Is it that simple? You probably don’t know, given the current situation of the empire, it would be extremely difficult to ask the central government to send reinforcements!”

Andre stared: But the situation in the north!

Rodriguez interrupted him and said: There is something going on in the north, but is it peaceful in other places? If nothing else, just talk about the Northwest! You also know what happened in the Northwest last year? The prairie invaded. Twenty thousand cavalry Siege of Gilliat City

played a game! To be honest, did our Desa province suffer a bit at that time? It's not that the peace talks have been hastily done, and the matter is settled!

Andrea nodded: I know about this. It was written in the military's monthly residence newspaper.

Rodriguez smiled: But, it says that the Northwest Army repelled the prairie people? Hmph, although you are not in the imperial capital, what is the situation of the Northwest Army? Don't you know?.

Andre's expression changed, and a strange flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The situation at that time was actually that the Northwest Army colluded with the prairie people and let the prairie people enter the customs. We were caught off guard! And the guys from the Northwest Army also used the name of the spring drill to besiege our capital with tens of thousands of troops. Our news. Don’t let us have a chance to send reinforcements! If it weren’t for our lord Tulip Duke’s cleverness and clever strategy. If we broke that situation, I’m afraid we would have lost that battle long ago! ! At this time, the situation in the northwest is already very bad. In such a situation, the emperor can send a soldier over! You want reinforcements, but we in the northwest still want reinforcements! But the reinforcements. Where will they come from?

Rodriguez asked one last time. This left General Andre speechless.

The main battle legion of the empire. I won't mention the Northwest Army. It has become a warlord in a separatist territory. It is rare for them not to rebel. But other than that, what else can we expect? The legion in the south is defending thousands of miles in the southern swamp. Far away, and, to be honest, since the empire established the navy. Every time the navy expands, it always draws manpower and soldiers from the southern army. Just because the southerners are good at water. The northerners are not good at water. During the reign of His Majesty the current emperor, the navy How many times has it been expanded? How many elite soldiers and strong generals have been transferred from the Southern Army? Later, the military expenditure of the Empire has not continued, and the recruitment of the Southern Army has been delayed. Now the Southern Army, how much land can they still have? Combat power? From my point of view, there is probably only an empty shelf left!

Andre was silent for a long time, before he sighed: When it comes to military expenses, who is not like this! Even our Storm Legion, the arrears of military expenses are getting worse every year! We, the generals leading the troops, are forced to Looking for money everywhere!

Du Wei suddenly remembered the gold selling cave outside the imperial capital. Isn't it the background of the military and used to raise military expenses?

That's it. You don't need to count on the Southern Legion. Are you counting on the Royal City Guards? Rodriguez smiled and said: The coup d'état the year before last, the Second Division of the Royal City was completely cleaned! Stay! Although the reserve army was recruited later, I don’t think I need to say how much combat power the recruits can have. What’s more, the imperial capital is located in the middle of the mainland, how far is it from the Northwest Army’s territory? Hmph, if it’s Kuai Ma If you march in a hurry, I am afraid that it will only take a few days before you can stand under the gate of the imperial capital! In such a situation, how could the regent dispatch the imperial guards for you? Once the imperial capital's military strength is drawn too much, it will be difficult to protect Lugao in the northwest. I can't think of anything in my heart! But other than that, how can the empire have any field troops? As for those local garrisons... General Andre, let's not talk about the combat power of the local garrisons, but the empire has been around for thousands of years. Since then, have there been fewer private troops on the sites of the rich and nobles? Once the local garrison draws more, it is hard to guarantee that no ambitious people will take advantage of the opportunity! At that time, it will be the same as when the Augustinian Dynasty was established two hundred years ago. It’s a state of melee on the mainland!”

When Du Wei heard this, he couldn't help admiring in his heart... This Rodriguez, it seems that not only his martial arts skills are great, but his knowledge and mouth are also so good! As expected of a disciple of Lan Hai Sect!

So, the matter of asking for reinforcements... Andre's face was filled with worry.

So I said, some things are not straightforward. You are not in the imperial capital, so you don't know what is going on in the imperial capital. Our Duke Tulip is currently the most trusted minister of the imperial regent. In many things, only he can influence the decision-making of the regent! Said An unkind word, even ten words from today's prime minister, may not be as good as our lord duke. You have to go back to the imperial capital this time for military affairs, so you might as well talk to lord duke first, and see if he can help you. You... Besides, this is not a military leak, as long as the Duke returns to the imperial capital, what you report to the military headquarters, within a day, the regent will tell us all about the Duke.

Andre weighed it in his mind. First of all, this place is indeed not an extremely confidential military affairs. Anyway, when he arrives in the imperial capital, the news will always spread.

Secondly, this Duke of Tulip has indeed been extremely powerful in the past two years. I have heard of his reputation in the north. The little boy who I personally took out of the frozen forest at the time seems to be under one person now. An important minister above ten thousand people. Many people even bet that this young duke, less than twenty-five years old, will become the youngest prime minister in the history of the empire! (The current prime minister is an old man from the time of Augustine VI. Although the regent did not touch him, everyone knows that he has been emptied).

If there is such a big person who can speak for me, maybe this time...

General Andre sighed, his eyes were filled with worry, he finally slapped the table, and shouted: Send a few brothers to guard the surrounding area, and no one else is allowed to approach, and clean up the lobby for me!

Immediately ten cavalrymen stood up, drove the hotel owner and waiters to the back, checked the lobby carefully, and left a few people guarding outside.

After all this was done, General Andre gritted his teeth: Your Excellency, just six days ago, you must have also felt the abnormal movement of the earth vibration?

Six days ago, Du Wei counted the days, and it was the day when Bai Hechou and the Pope faced off at Cold Spring Pass!

Then Andrea dipped his fingers in the water and drew a pattern on the table...
