Chapter 530 [Kaspersky Defense Line]
In the past few days, several major events have occurred in the imperial capital.
At that investiture ceremony, the miracles displayed and the fanatical atmosphere at the scene made most people lose their minds. Taking advantage of this momentum, Prince Chen and Du Wei wickedly announced the heir to the throne.
candidate.
To Du Wei, this was simply a despicable act of "promoting superstition"! But Prince Chen appreciated it.
Although some people also had various doubts in their minds afterwards, after all, not everyone is a fool and will be confused by Du Wei and Prince Chen. But... With the heavyweight Mr. Yago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Union,
The allies and even the chairman of the Mainland Magic Union declared that the miracle was a real miracle! It was not caused by magic...
In this regard, who dares to stand up and say that his judgment is more authoritative than the chairman of the Magic Union?
The fanatical superstition gave Prince Charles's succession a sacred color.
It doesn’t matter whether you object or doubt.
In short, on the square, Prince Chen has read out the old emperor's will, making this matter a "fait accompli"! Tens of thousands of people present have heard this official announcement from the royal family. Who can stop it?
What?
So, what followed was the intense funeral of the old emperor. The funeral was not too grand, but it was not too simple either. It used a serious enough ceremony to end His Majesty Augustine VI's rule on this continent.
Immediately afterwards, there is the succession ceremony of the new emperor.
In the largest hall in the imperial city, Prince Chen personally held his son's hand and sent him to the throne. Seeing the little Prince Charlie wearing a crown, many powerful ministers in the empire sighed in their hearts: We
What does the Earth Regent want to do? Why doesn't he become emperor himself?
Fortunately, although the ten-year-old child is sitting on the throne, the power of the empire is still in the hands of the regent. All government orders remain as before!
As for our new emperor Charles, he only needs to hold court meetings every once in a while and sit on the throne to show off. As for normal times, he can still continue his studies in the palace and occasionally ride horses and hunt.
Of course, he has a new job: learning magic!
His Majesty, Emperor Charles, appointed Mr. Yago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Union, as his magic teacher. It was quickly revealed. As the chairman of the Magic Union, he is quite qualified to be the emperor's teacher.
It's just that... it seems that this is not in line with tradition. Everyone knows that the royal family maintains a team of royal court magicians. In the past, even if the royal children were interested in learning magic, they could only do it in the palace.
One 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 as per tradition! Instead, he excused his absence from the succession ceremony on the excuse of health. He only sent the recognized Pope to succeed him.
Sir, His Excellency Archbishop Maximus came to pay homage on his behalf.
"This is where we failed."
In the church, in His Majesty the Pope's prayer room, Opdis looked at His Majesty the Great Pope with a touch of mockery: "Look. We all know that we need to 'unify' now, so before you used
They used the excuse of unity to persecute and threaten the royal family. But now, they are using 'unity' to threaten and persecute us! They dare to do this. It is because they have determined that at this stage, we dare not turn our backs."
Opdis looked at the Pope's old face: "I'm sure that everything was the idea of ​​the Tulip Duke. It's really ridiculous, you humans always like to care about petty profits. And this Tulip Duke, he sees it better than you.
Far."
The Pope looked at this "angel" that he hated more and more, and said coldly: "Oh, then Opdis, do you have any ideas?"
"Just like what we did in the northwest but unfortunately failed." Opdis said lightly: "We must break up the Tulip family and the royal family at all costs."
"No matter how powerful Du Wei is, he is just a noble family. No matter how powerful he is... I don't understand, dear angel, Oupdis." The Pope said coldly: "Why do you always have to deal with this?
People are so concerned! If your persistence and a series of actions hadn’t angered Du Wei, he wouldn’t have become so tough!”
He himself could no longer hear these arguments about Du Wei.
After the emperor's succession ceremony, Du Wei had already left the imperial capital.
The final phase of the Kaspersky Defense Line in the northern part of the mainland has finally been completed!
For some unknown reason, the Regent issued an order asking Du Wei to be responsible for the inspection and acceptance of this most expensive military defense line in the empire. At the same time, he was also responsible for providing support to the Storm Legion stationed in the north and the newly established Thunder God's Whip Legion.
, sent a top-secret document jointly signed by His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Regent!
Moreover, the regent gave Du Wei a task: to see if the defense line is strong enough! In addition, the Northwest Independent Division has already gone to the north, where it will officially change its name! The designation of the Northwest Independent Division has been cancelled, and they
Will get a new name: Imperial Air Force!
In fact, Duweidi's schedule was deliberately advanced by two days.
On the night after the new emperor's coronation ceremony, he set off in a carriage.
Therefore, when the Northwest Independent Division, led by General Andrei, traveled a long distance to Kaspersky's defense line, Du Wei himself had already arrived here first.
In the past few months, the military headquarters has continuously issued mobilization orders one by one. In the north of the empire, the imperial army has been mobilized frequently, and the area where the army is deployed has also undergone tremendous changes.
The Northern Storm Legion, which had been stationed at the southern end of the frozen forest, had already retreated completely, abandoning the camp originally set up at the southern end of the frozen forest. All military supplies, food and grass, etc., were all moved back.
Almost all villages and towns near the southern part of the frozen forest also started mobilization and relocation work as early as last year.
It can be said that there is no human habitation in the empire's land that stretches one hundred and fifty miles from the frozen forest to the south.
To this end, the Imperial Treasury paid more than one million gold coins for demolition and resettlement costs.
Most of the residents moved to the southern part of the Kaspersky Defense Line to settle. For a small number of people who lost their land, the empire made certain compensation in the territory of the Duke of Tulip in the northwest. The province of Desa has always been sparsely populated, and many people were resettled and moved to
Northwest, where they could get new land.
Du Wei also did a small favor for the Imperial Treasury. The land he got was a large number of farmers who could cultivate it.
In the South, perhaps no one feels it.
But in the northern land of the empire, it seems that a tense atmosphere has been filled here a long time ago!
Large tracts of villages and towns have begun to relocate, and every household is moving south. In each small city, soldiers are tearing down city walls and transporting usable stones to the south to supplement the Kaspersky defense line, and farmland... Anyway, this cold area
There isn't much farmland either.
Harvest the food that can be harvested as soon as possible, and as for the rest, simply burn it!
This is a typical approach of "strengthening the wall and clearing the field"!
The soldiers below knew it, and the junior officers knew it, although no one knew why they did it. But when strict military orders were imposed, these elite imperial main battle regiments showed extremely high discipline!
The Kaspersky Defense Line is the most expensive military defense line in the empire. It is located in the northern border of the empire's continent, about 150 to 200 miles south of the Frozen Forest.
The terrain here has been carefully selected.
To the west is a branch of the Qili Malu Mountain Range. The rugged peaks are dangerous enough. And to the east, a natural river leading into the sea has been dug into a huge and wide artificial river after nearly two years of excavation! Moreover,
Deep into the heart of the continent!
Once a war comes, the empire's navy can even sail directly from this river to the hinterland of the mainland. From the river, it can attack the land!
The Kaspersky Defense Line, this defense line, is not just a city wall in the simple sense of imagination.
The main body of the Kaspersky Defense Line is composed of three huge military fortresses, one on each side, one on the east, one on the west, and one in the middle! Each military fortress is built to standards that far exceed those of the first-class military fortresses of the empire.
The military fortresses on both sides are slightly smaller, but they are still enough to accommodate more than 100,000 troops stationed there! The large amount of weapons and supplies stored are enough to support 100,000 troops in the fortress for a year, even in the event of a war!
The main fortress in the middle is the most important. The city wall here is a diamond-shaped design with the strongest defensive power! The lowest point is also as high as fifteen meters! The average height is more than twenty-three meters!
And, the most outrageous thing is that the city gate is not on the ground! But...in mid-air! The city gate is about five meters high from the ground!
According to the design, outside the city gate, there is a ramp that 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 and then enter the city gate!
This design makes it so that once a war comes, the enemy attacking the fortress can only march up this ramp if they want to break through the city gate. And the ramp is only four meters wide, which will force the enemy to not invest too much at once.
The troops attack the city gate!
Even if you want to use a crash car to open the city gate, then it will be a very difficult task for you to push the crash car up the ramp!
Imagine that in a war, if you want to break through the city gate, you have to have a large number of soldiers push the cart up a fifty-meter-long ramp and it's still uphill! At the same time, there is scalding hot oil and water on the city wall.
Dense arrow rain, huge rocks...
Just thinking about it, you will feel that this thing must be an extremely difficult bone to chew! It is very hard!
Moreover, on the city wall, there is a tower about every ten meters or so. The tower is built with the strongest monolithic boulders. Even if it is directly hit by the enemy's trebuchet, it will not collapse immediately.
Sufficient ability to withstand blows.
In each tower, there is a huge ballista for a naval warship!
On the rolling city wall, there is such a ballista every ten meters away. Such a costly construction certainly cost Du Wei a lot of gold coins!
And needless to say, the guy from Delan Mountain Warcraft also put a lot of effort into his weapons business.
To be continued...
