Chapter 622 Chapter five hundred and eighty first dagger

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, mainly the ten elite tyrants that Du Wei seconded to him The Tianhu team suffered damage during the previous mission. General Andre remembered very clearly that Du Wei told him that those ten people were handed over to him as a future officer teaching team, and each member was an extremely precious future pillar. But now... the first time Zieg and others went on a mission, they were injured, and two members of the Decepticon team were killed—they were all elite officers in the Decepticon Sky Knights.

Of the two people who died in battle, one was a disciple of Du Wei for several years. Since the establishment of the Magic Academy, he was a magic apprentice of Hogwarts College, and then followed Du Wei to the northwest. It can be said that he is the direct line of Du Wei ! As for the other name "Rohart", when Du Wei saw this name, he was silent for a long time.He clearly remembered this young man, not only because this Rohart was a loyal Rollin man, nor because Rohart's father was a carpenter in the Rollin Manor, nor because he had rewarded him Pass this kid a magic booster ring.

It was because this kid named Rohart was a member of the Decepticon team, a young man admired by everyone from Captain Zieg down, and a star of hope.When he was in the Northwest back then, this kid once faced the Third Dragon Prince of the Dragon Clan, a golden dragon, alone!Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This Rohart has excellent training results, strong learning ability, smart mind, calm and decisive temperament-can stand out from a large group of veteran Decepticon teams and squeeze out as a rookie. Being one of the ten front-line officer regiments sent to the northern theater, this in itself already reflects Rohart's status and potential among the Decepticon air cavalry.

The situation on the front line is not too optimistic. The criminals attacked the empire's water fleet before, and later this kind of attack happened sporadically twice, but the empire has never figured out what the underwater troops of the criminals looked like. And... the air power of the criminals, the elves, finally showed up.Although I don't know what the elf king Luoxue's plan is, because the elves have not officially entered the battle. These days, the main battlefield is still the main fortress of Kaspersky's line of defense, and the main attack force is still the criminal orcs.The elves seem to have been waiting for something...

In Andrea's letter, the following is jointly signed by him and Zieg. Zieg also pleaded guilty to Du Wei in the letter. However, although Du Wei is annoyed, he also understands that frontline wars are unpredictable. Such things cannot be blamed on them. of. The secret letter from Longbottom was relatively simple.The fat man ran to lead the mercenaries from all over the mainland. These days, under the methods of the fat man's iron bowl, those mobs gradually took shape. However, the military commanders on the front line, from General Rostock down, it seems that most of the senior generals of the Storm Legion dismissed these mercenaries from all over the mainland. Waste food in the barracks.However, the top executives of the Storm Legion did not reply for a long time. Obviously, they did not believe in the fighting power of such a mob.

The fat man was very bored at the front line, and he was so quiet that he wanted to move. In the end, he ran to General Andre. Relying on his friendship and face in the Northwest, he forcibly asked General Andre for a "reconnaissance battalion". He hung this mercenary on the signboard of the Air Force, "so as not to be angry with the generals of the Storm Legion"-this is the original words of the fat man. General Andre couldn't save face, so he had no choice but to 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.

In the end, the daring Longbottom set off on the airship with 500 elites carefully selected from his subordinates.He didn't report back to the commander-in-chief of the front line, so this guy took people privately, and took the airship, first to the east, then to the north, a detour, bypassing the main fort in the north, all the way north from the fort in the east, and finally Using an airship, he parachuted 500 people into the enemy-occupied area in the north! Du Wei couldn't help laughing and crying when he saw this matter afterwards - this bold and reckless fat man actually launched the epoch-making first airborne battle behind enemy lines in the military history of Roland Continent without making a sound? !

The dead fat man naturally didn't know that he had unintentionally turned all his people into "airborne soldiers" in his misconduct, but he led these five hundred people to start a sweep in the area occupied by the criminals. Most of these 500 mercenaries were from smuggling groups or mercenary groups before they were born. When it comes to military strength, each of them is at least a low-level warrior, and many of them have the strength of mid-level warriors. Fatty took these five hundred people and divided them into several teams. Before that, everyone stipulated a unified time and place for assembly, and agreed a time with the airship team. When the time comes, they will retreat to the assembly point, board the airship and retreat together... Do After finishing this, Fatty gave an order, and these people spread out and wreaked havoc in the enemy-occupied area like a nest of mice.

Such a group of people, if it comes to fighting frontally on the battlefield and charging frontally in formation, they are definitely not opponents of the regular army.But if it is such a small group of elites who rush forward to fight, they are definitely a good player.Among other things, the ability to survive in the wild 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. In just five days, these "surprise soldiers" knocked out a small group of orc wolf cavalry in the enemy's rear, and there were also many orc teams scattered to collect food and supplies.It can be said that the results are quite impressive.

In Fatty's words, since they are in the enemy-occupied area, they can't use the methods of the regular army, but treat their own group as bandits, as... a bandit group!Treat it as a smuggling group! ! And Fatty's battle strategy is even more simple and quintessential, summed up in 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 gangster backgrounds. Whether they were mercenaries or smuggling groups, they were all good at lurking, and they were not as good as regular soldiers. Guerrilla.

As a 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 wolves The cavalry went to try to exterminate these "bandit soldiers", but Fatty and a group of old mercenaries who lived in the frozen forest all the year round led these wolf cavalry around the north several times. They fought twice, setting up siege, ambush, digging pits, setting traps, dividing troops, and pretending to be camouflage. After another four days, the wolf cavalry finally found out all these things. The exact traces of humans. But at this time, Fatty and the other teams had successfully completed the detour, successfully returned to the pre-set meeting point, and were ready to retreat in victory. If the matter ends here, then Fatty's airborne raid in the enemy's rear can definitely be said to be a successful battle, and with its epoch-making significance for the first time in the mainland, it is enough to be included in military history. Create materials, write books and annals, for the study and research of military academies in later generations. However, at the moment when the final escape was about to succeed, Fatty was surrounded by enemies. This time, it was the elves who dispatched! Facing several teams of elves flying magic archers in the air, and the heavy and slow-flying airship, it is absolutely impossible to escape. Even Fatty sighed helplessly, thinking that this time he estimated that his time was approaching, and even made preparations. Fighting desperately, even the rhetoric of "killing one is enough, killing two to earn one" was also uttered in public. As a result, after the winged elves surrounded these people, they did not attack. Instead, after everyone waited in panic for a while, 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 had a private conversation with Fatty directly, and left a sentence: "This time, I am here at the order of the Elven King. My king has something to say; I have heard for a long time that General Longbottom is the strongest general in the Tulip Duke's Guild. 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 His Majesty the Duke—the mountains and rivers will meet each other, and we will meet later!" Fatty was confused by what he said, but after the other party passed the word, with an order, the teams of elves flew away, and they let Fatty and his group back safely! All the people who thought they were doomed this time all looked like they had survived the catastrophe, and everyone was full of doubts.But after all, the enemy has withdrawn, and there are no more elf archers flying in the sky... Everyone is relieved. After Fatty came back, the first thing he did was to order everyone who participated in this battle to return to the barracks. At the same time, he issued a sealing order not to let this matter out, and issued a foot restraint order, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the barracks at will. Then, the fat man 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. After Du Wei read the letter, he was naturally full of doubts! The elf king Luoxue, that guy who once pushed himself to the sky and the earth, actually sold himself a huge favor this time!If the fat man Longbottom were to die, it would definitely be a huge blow to Du Wei - except for the fat man, Du Wei couldn't find any strong leading generals under his command. What does the phrase "mountains and rivers meet each other" conveyed by the Elf King really mean?Now that the two sides are fighting, it is life and death, and 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, he heard Prince Regent Chen standing in front of the high platform throne intermittently, reading the letter from the front in his exaggerated tone. Here comes the "good news". Obviously, this "good news" was carefully concocted by the frontline commander, General Rostock. This old general, with profound qualifications, has held a large army for many years, and sits 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 this year is the first year of the war, and at the end of the year, according to the usual practice, it is natural for the imperial capital to present some good gifts to make the big bosses happy, which is the only way to protect yourself way.But I am on the front line, so I have to pay attention to what gifts to give to make the bosses of the imperial capital happy. Send money and rich gifts?I am the commander-in-chief of the front line, can I give others an excuse to report that I have embezzled military pay? Now that 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"? On such a festive day, a good news is just the icing on the cake. "Five days ago, 6,000 soldiers from the 4th Cavalry Division under our Tempest Legion, and 3,000 knights from the Holy Knights of the Illumination Church helped out. The enemy charged six times, beheaded about 3,000 enemies, and captured two of the enemy's leaders. After interrogation, it was verified that they were the middle-level officers of the emperor. The enemy captured him so much that he died on a hunger strike for three days... Attached is the list of soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle and Congratulations to our empire for the list of meritorious knights of the Holy Knights!!" The regent smiled and finished reading the victory report in public. As soon as he finished speaking, many people who saw the opportunity shouted loudly: "The front line is victorious, long live the empire! Your highness the regent, your majesty the emperor is wise and mighty! " As soon as he yelled out, many people rushed to respond loudly, and for a while 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, not being the first to speak, and losing the jackpot, and even more quickly turned their brains, and yelled out congratulatory words full of flowers and flowers in different ways. There was a festive and jubilant atmosphere in the hall, the voices of the people were boiling, Prince Chen was high above him, with a smile on his face, and the brows were quite happy. At this moment, Du Wei turned his eyes and looked at Prince Chen above him. He figured in his heart that from the scattered words in the battle report he just heard, Du Wei concluded that this victory report must be worthwhile! Out of town?Rostock has always been safe, how dare he do such a risky thing?If he dared to take risks, the first "air strike" back then would not have made Du Wei slap the table in anger. There is a way... There is a way! Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was a cough next to him, but the old man named Gao Cha fell on Du Wei's face with that look, with a hint of a playful smile in his eyes, suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "Master Duke, frontline soldiers You won the battle, but you don't look so happy." Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the old guy with a calm expression, and said calmly, "Of course I'm happy to have won the battle, but I don't need to show it too much, for fear that others won't know it." Speaking of this, 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, and made great achievements... but General Alpay's western fortress, but there is nothing wrong with it. Be quiet..." ... The dinner party is in progress. Different from previous years, this year, out of concern for his son's face, the prince gave up the glory of the first dance to little Charlie. His Majesty the little emperor felt a little satisfied in his heart. In front of countless people, the little emperor stepped down from the throne amidst the sound of music, and walked slowly one by one under the countless expectant eyes around him. The seat——how many aristocratic girls waiting in the boudoir looked at this twelve-year-old boy eagerly. He is the emperor!Moreover, the emperor is still young and has never been married. If he could... wouldn't he become the most noble woman on the mainland in one leap? ! The "treatment" that Du Wei had criticized was finally the little emperor's turn to enjoy it. But in the end, the little emperor came directly to Du Wei. In front of countless people, he came to the side of Mrs. Liszt's family, bowed to the muse dressed as a female knight, and stretched out his hand. After making the move, the graceful and gentle smile said: "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 even thought about it a long time ago, he would be the first to ask Muse to dance tonight - as for his fiancée was on the spot, he didn't care. And Du Wei, seeing the meaning in the little emperor's eyes, confirmed his conjecture in his heart, thinking of his younger brother's thoughts on Muse... This is not a good sign. What was even more unexpected was that at the same time, Mrs. Liszt felt a little uneasy. This noble husband, who is well-known in the imperial aristocratic circle, became a little worried when he saw the emperor asking his sister to dance. This smart woman has long seen what Gabriel means to the Muse. , she was also extremely optimistic about this pair. Gabriel is Du Wei's younger brother, and the two brothers have a good relationship.With Du Wei's power, and Gabriel will soon inherit the Luo Lin family.Such a future dignitary with a bright future, who is destined to be generous and glorious, is naturally a good match for Muse, and... tightly tied to Du Wei's family, has become the route Mrs. Liszt has set for her family up. But His Majesty the Emperor... Although the emperor's status is more noble and prominent than that of Earl Rollin, in the eyes of the smart Mrs. Liszt, it may not be a good thing. This Mrs. Liszt is also very smart. Du Wei saw early on that in the royal family, Charlie ascended the throne when he was young, but the regent is still in his prime. The future struggle for imperial power has left hidden dangers! Smart Mrs. Lister, how could she fail to see the danger in the future?At this time, it is best not to stand too close to the royal family, and to keep a respectful distance is the best policy, so as not to fight for the imperial power in the future, and your entire family will be involved in the whirlpool! Muse looked at the little emperor in front of him. This tomboy didn't have any joy on his face. He hesitated for a moment, bowed his body, and said a little apologetically, "Sorry, Your Majesty, I can't dance." I can not dance…… I can not dance! ! ! ! I can not dance? ? ? When Charlie heard this, he was eagerly looking forward to it for a day, but suddenly it was poured down like a bucket of cold water, and his face inevitably became a little ugly-who are he?It's the emperor!Is the master of the world!It is above ten thousand people! She... How dare she reject herself? Can't dance?joke!Born in a wealthy family, this kind of ceremonial dance is a compulsory course for every nobleman when he is young. How could he not know how to dance? ! ! ! At this moment, Charlie was a little angry. The mood that had been suppressed all the time, inevitably had some faint uncontrollable tendencies. However, he is also very smart after all, with a forced smile on his face, he took a deep look at Muse, and under the eyes of countless sighs or expectations or surprises around him, the smart Charlie knew that he could not lose his composure at this moment, so he smiled wryly, Shaking his head, he left Muse. Why did she reject me? snort!If I were a real emperor, would she dare to refuse?Will she say no? ! According to etiquette, he should have chosen 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 looked around numbly, and then walked towards... own sister! Princess Karina didn't show any surprise at all. She watched her brother walk up to him, and stood up before Charlie reached out to invite him. There were sighs and disappointments all around.Everyone remembered Du Wei's act of inviting Princess Karina to avoid him at the beginning—this little emperor has the true biography of Teacher Tulip Duke. "Brother, don't be unhappy." Along with the 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 gloomy. He lowered his voice and said to himself coldly, "Hmph, I want to see if she will dance tonight!" Many nobles deliberately praised His Majesty's graceful dancing posture loudly. Du Wei was sitting in a wheelchair, but he yawned—he took this action to cover up his helplessness and fluctuating thoughts. Trouble... this matter is troublesome. But at this moment, suddenly, Prince Chen, who was sitting on the throne and kept an elegant smile, coughed lightly twice. Du Wei was startled by the sound, and looked secretly, but saw Prince Chen's face faintly revealing a few words. Very pale. Prince Chen seemed to be sitting in a stiff posture, and gave a low voice to an attendant beside him, and the attendant brought a cup of tea. The distance between the two seats was not far, and Du Wei's nose was very sharp, and he immediately smelled a faint familiar smell... Iced berries!Sure enough, ice berries!Hmm... There are a few other herbs. After taking two sips, Prince Chen seemed to still want to support himself, but there seemed to be something wrong with his body, he sat for a while, finally stood up, smiled deliberately, and said to the people around him with a gentle smile: "There are some things in the future, I will 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 he was walking fairly steadily, his steps were a little bit floating. It's a pity that Du Wei only took one look, and immediately there were two red-robed court magicians following behind, blocking Prince Chen's back. No one else paid much attention to Prince Chen's departure, but Du Wei felt a little uneasy in his heart. His illness...is it so serious? ? Just thinking about it, after a while, the emperor's first dance has been completed, and the next courtier's first dance, originally calculated according to his status, should be Du Wei, but Du Wei is now in a wheelchair, and it's his turn today Camisiro came 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 can't take care of all the veteran generals in the general army, but his status is beyond doubt.He came to dance the first dance, which is considered to be in line with his status. After a while, Du Wei was thinking, but a court attendant came quietly from behind, ran to Du Wei's side, approached him, and said in a low voice, "My lord...His Royal Highness, please speak at the back. " Ok? Du Wei froze for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay." Gabriel next to him didn't know the situation, and was about to push Du Wei's wheelchair, but the waiter was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "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.Many people around him saw his departure, but Gao Cha had complicated eyes, and he didn't know if it was jealousy or what. It is really unusual for the regent to be close to and trust Duke Tulip!It would be impossible for others to get this kind of opportunity to be summoned alone. After going out of the side door, as the door of the banquet hall was closed, all the bustle and bustle in the hall and the sound of music 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 and bypassed two corridors. On the way, he met two waves of guards standing outside. Seeing it was Du Wei, they hurriedly saluted. It's just that in such a cold weather, Du Wei saw that the waiter pushing the wheelchair had thin clothes and seemed to be shivering from the cold, so he casually smiled and said, "This weather is also suffering for you errands." As he spoke, he casually took out a piece of gold leaf from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.The waiter seemed a little surprised. He took a look at Du Wei and hurriedly ordered him to thank him without hesitation.It's just that his expression was a little nervous, and he didn't know whether it was because he was facing a big man like Du Wei, or because the weather was too cold, or because the golden leaf made people excited, but he 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 not the direction he was familiar with before. "My lord, Your Highness has something to do, please wait a little while, His Highness will come to see you later." The waiter replied cautiously, and after a while, he led Du Wei to a quiet palace. Du Wei had never been to this place before.It seems to be a remote side hall, the area is not big, but the decoration is still gorgeous, the thick carpet on the floor, and the burning fireplace make the lobby very warm. After Du Wei was sent into the hall, the waiter nodded and bowed to salute, and went down. This lobby is too quiet, Du Wei sitting here alone, 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 just tell him about his condition? ? No... probably not!He probably wouldn't tell himself such a big secret.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 time, with a soft sound, the door of the lobby was pushed open, and a court attendant in a cotton robe was not the one 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 at it, but felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where the problem came from. This waiter... as if... Well, he seems to be a bit too tall Kong Wu! With such a physique, it would not be surprising if he was a guard of the Royal Forest Army, but such a person is a servant? Moreover, when he put the tea on the table, Du Wei accidentally glanced at the man's hand...the knuckles of the 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! At this moment! ! The waiter put down the plate, but suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from the bottom of the plate, with a flick of his wrist, the technique was obviously very clever!I saw that the dagger was sharp, but it had already stabbed fiercely at Du Wei's chest and heart! The distance between the two of them is extremely close at this moment, and the place where the waiter is standing is less than half a step away from Du Wei!Such a close distance, such a sudden stab, is extremely dangerous!Moreover, the dagger was shiny with a strange blue tint, it was obviously coated with some kind of poison! This person's hand stretching was extremely sharp, and his movements were very sturdy, and that short stab, above the dagger, unexpectedly burst into a cloud of silver light in an instant! Fighting! !Senior Samurai! ! assassin! ! With a muffled bang, the dagger had pierced through the thick leather jacket and stabbed Du Wei's chest and heart! !
