Looking at the statue above, the Elven King fell into deep thought—in fact, for ten days after he came back, he had been thinking about a problem that he couldn't understand.
For the "return" in the future, what is the goal of us criminals
Unlike those orc leaders who were full of revenge, the Elf King personally went to the human world. During the few months of traveling, he almost witnessed the glory of that civilization in the human world!
The tall cities, majestic walls, buildings full of wisdom crystallization, temples, palaces, cities, villages, small towns, grand passes, grand canals, developed water transportation, powerful navy, and the imperial capital, and ... Northwest! !
The human population is several times that of the criminals, although—according to the simple way of thinking in the orc's mind, an ordinary orc can kill several strong human soldiers.
So for most orcs, their slogan is: Rush into the human world! kill! Kill those guys! Then take this continent back! It was originally ours! !
So what if the human population outnumbers us? One of our fighters can kill several times their number!
But after witnessing the splendid civilization of human beings with his own eyes, even the proud Luoxue has to admit that maybe...it is possible to defeat human beings on the battlefield. But it is almost impossible to "exterminate" human beings!
Sinners are far from being that powerful.
Humans have several times or even dozens of times the potential for war. They may not have such a strong individual combat power as criminals, but they use almost endless reserve forces and have the entire continent's natural resources as their backing.
Possess the civilization and heritage developed over thousands of years!
To exterminate such a race... on our own. Can it be done
And the Tulip Duke in the Northwest...
When Luoxue thought of Du Wei's smiling face, her heart skipped a beat. He is almost certain to be on the future battlefield. That Tulip Duke will definitely bring him many, many "surprises"!
"Great God, I need your guidance." Luo Xue sighed.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had sensed something, when he raised his head, his expression suddenly changed!
I saw that the silver thread that had been broken into two pieces on the altar seemed to be beating slightly...
In the far north, the criminals are still preparing for the future invasion, and the orcs are dreaming about the future. Armed with elite weapons to the teeth, powerful orc warriors, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions... Such an army of orcs flooded into the Roland Continent like a wave, pouring the flames of hatred accumulated over thousands of years on the heads of humans superior. What a wonderful scene it would be.
The elf king was mysteriously retreating in his sacrificial hall, not seeing anyone, even the elders of the elves. And those elves, waiting day and night outside the sacrifice hall, waiting for the worshiped king to come out, they sang beautiful songs day and night. Expect their king to reappear in front of them with that proud and graceful smile.
The beautiful singing of the elves formed an interesting reflection with the jingle-dang sound coming from the temple in the distance.
And farther away, Dominez cheered up, brandished his saber, shouted loudly, and trained his wolf cavalry...
This world... It seems that everything in the future will change.
But. For Du Wei, a sudden change came. But beyond everyone's expectations!
Or. This is also the arrangement of fate! Very few people at the top of the empire know the secrets about the criminals in the future, and the top of the empire is secretly planning preparations for future wars...
And at this time. A subtle incident has inadvertently disrupted the situation!
Five hundred fully armed Tulip Cavalry in heavy armor galloped across the continent leading to the imperial capital.
Obviously, this is a team of elite cavalry who have undergone rigorous training. All the knights on the horses stopped straight, but their bodies moved up and down with the bumps of the horse's back with great skill, saving energy to the greatest extent.
As for the queue, the three hundred people in front spread out in a seemingly loose formation that was actually full of vigilance and defense. Such a queue protected a carriage speeding behind the queue in the middle.
Behind the carriage, the two hundred rear cavalry also maintained an orderly formation while galloping.
The carriage in the middle is full of gorgeous colors!
In terms of size, this carriage is almost three times the size of an ordinary carriage. Six white horses that have been strictly trained are pulling such a huge carriage. When they run, the speed does not seem to slow down at all!
If there is an experienced magician, then you will find that when the carriage is running, the wheels below seem to faintly exude magical fluctuations. the weight of.
The body of the luxurious carriage is made of the finest wood, and the carriage is engraved with gilding patterns, and the circles of patterns are all over the body, as if it were the petal pattern of some kind of flower.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the entire carriage, together with the pattern on the body, looks like a blooming tulip from a distance!
The wind magic on the wheels and hubs not only reduces the weight of the carriage itself, but also reduces the degree of bumping of the carriage.
As for Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, leaning against a soft velvet blanket, his body was as soft as a cloud, without the slightest pain of bumps. And the slight ups and downs seem to induce drowsiness like a cradle...
However, at this moment, Du Wei absolutely couldn't sleep at all!
He was leaning there, although his body was laziness, but he was holding an unpacked letter tightly in his hand. He had torn off the sealing wax on the letter, and a golden thorn flower inkpad pattern on it symbolized that this letter was a top-level confidential dispatch!
Du Wei held the letter. Although he had read this letter several times before leaving a few days ago, at this moment, he still couldn't help but pinch it. Frowning and thinking hard.
Even, he was so absorbed in his thoughts that the bottle of wine in his hand suddenly fell down, and the bright red wine spilled on his robe before he realized it.
With a wry smile, he flicked his robe, Du Wei took off his coat, opened the car window and threw it out.
Soon, an accompanying knight galloped to the side of the carriage. It was Du Wei's bodyguard Elder Yan, who asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you have any orders?"
"Well..." Du Wei pondered for a while, his voice was calm, but with an undeniable tone of command: "Speed up!"
Lao Yan was ordered to go away immediately, and soon after a whistle, he heard the sound of the whip being raised...
The cavalry were galloping at full speed. In order to ensure the horsepower on the road, each cavalry brought a pair of cavalry, so they don't have to worry about the consumption of horsepower.
Du Wei sighed, closed the car window, and his eyes drifted to the letter in his hand again.
The content of this letter is actually only one sentence.
"My father is critically ill. Call Qing to return quickly!"
The signature below is:
Chen!
His Majesty the Emperor Augustine VI is critically ill
When Du Wei saw the urgent letter, he immediately took his people and set off without hesitation.
Because he knew very well that the life of Augustine VI was still very important now! No matter from any point of view, now, the emperor who has become a puppet cannot die!
He can't die!
Five hundred fully armed tulip family cavalry. Speeding on the road of the empire, such movements are naturally very arrogant. According to imperial decree. Du Wei returned to the imperial capital with 500 fully armed cavalry. It is an illegal behavior.
Because Du Wei's status is equivalent to that of a local prince, and if he returns to the imperial capital for business. Neither the local military generals nor the local governors are allowed to bring large groups of troops along with them!
But Du Wei took the army. Five hundred iron cavalry is the most elite cavalry of the Tulip family.
After running around for many days and nights, when a cavalry team of 500 people came to the outside of the imperial capital like a whirlwind in the evening, it had already aroused the attention and vigilance of the royal guards in the imperial capital. However, after seeing the tulip totem on the carriage clearly, the imperial guards carefully kept silent and did not go up to stop it.
Because as early as two days ago, an order came from the palace, no matter what, no matter what they saw the Tulip family's chariots and horses entering the city, they must not be interrogated or stopped!
This means: Even if Du Wei returns with thousands of troops, let him enter the city!
Even in order to welcome Du Wei, the military control has already started at the west gate of the imperial capital since last night! After the announcement, the west gate of the imperial capital is temporarily closed to civilians. If anyone wants to enter or leave the imperial capital, they can only detour through other gates.
And Ximen is specially reserved for Du Wei!
The guards guarding the city gate saw the Tulip family's chariots and horses from a distance, and hurriedly opened the city gate wide. And those five hundred cavalry rushed into the city gate like a whirlwind, without even stopping. As for the formal documents for customs clearance, they didn't even ask.
Although some guards were a little dissatisfied with this, seeing five hundred cavalry rushing in, the dust brought up by the horseshoes made the soldiers guarding the city uncontrollably coughing, and they couldn't help saying slightly: "Damn, isn't it just a local nobleman?" The family’s private army! Guys like a miscellaneous army are also arrogant under the eyes of our imperial guards!”
However, this kind of remark immediately attracted the disdain of the veteran officer next to him: "Miscellaneous army? Huh, you idiot look at it! What kind of horses are they riding! They are the best horses they can get on the grassland. They The armor is better than the elite divisions of our guards—also, haven’t you seen the short crossbows that people hang up right away? Huh, I haven’t seen it except for the elite divisions in the main battle army of the empire. Have you ever been to other armies preparing that kind of thing! Miscellaneous army? You idiot, the equipment of one cavalryman is worth the value of twenty soldiers like us!"
"No way! Isn't it the private army of a local nobleman? How could it be possible to have such good equipment? I'm afraid the Imperial Forest Army in the palace doesn't have such good equipment either!"
"The Imperial Forest Army?" The veteran officer sneered: "Who doesn't know now, the richest man in the whole continent is the Duke of Tulip!! As long as you have money, you can't get any high-quality equipment! I heard that the military salary of the private army of the Tulip family, They are twice as tall as us."
This line of cavalry rushed almost recklessly on the streets of the imperial capital all the way to the gate of the imperial palace, and then stopped their footsteps.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Du Wei had already pushed open the door and jumped down first—this action startled the guard elder Yan.
But then, following Du Wei's eyes, Lao Yan looked back, and he saw the real ruler of the empire, Prince Chen, the regent of the empire, had come out in person and stood at the gate of the imperial city!
Although it was no longer the Royal Forest Army, and Lao Yan had already completely despaired and loathed these royal families, Lao Yan immediately ordered everyone to dismount, and knelt down on one knee to salute in the direction of Prince Chen.
Du Wei almost trotted all the way, and came in front of Prince Chen. There was a hint of worry and anger in the eyes of this His Highness, and his face looked a little lacklustre, obviously he hadn't rested for a few days.
Without a word of politeness, Du Wei even forgot to salute, but immediately asked, "How is His Majesty the Emperor?"
What he did was undoubtedly very rude, but Prince Chen didn't seem to care, and the few palace guards behind him seemed to be used to the intimacy between their master and the Duke Tulip.
"Du Wei, I'm very pleased that you came back soon." Prince Chen said, his voice was very hoarse: "However, I'm sorry, because I didn't tell the truth in the letter—I lied to you."
"..." Du Wei was stunned, he looked at Prince Chen suspiciously.
"My father is not in critical condition." Prince Chen looked around, his voice was very soft: "In fact, he is already dead! Just the night before I wrote you a letter!"
