Chapter 531 [Take care!]
As a rising star in the imperial political arena and one of the three new kings of the empire, General Alpay has many titles with auras:
For example, the title of earl of the empire, the lieutenant general of the empire, the commander of the Thunder God's Whip Corps... Of course, among these titles, there is another one with a somewhat complicated flavor: the political enemy of the Tulip family!
What is ironic is that although many people now know that General Alpa is one of the few strong men in the empire who dares to arm-wrestle with Duke Tulip, as Du Wei’s political opponent, the 33-year-old Alpa
Yi, however, met Du Wei for the first time.
This matter is very interesting and subtle, isn't it?
The first meeting between the two should have been two years earlier, during the war that wiped out the Northwest Army. At that time, Arpai was only the division commander of the Royal Guards.
But that time, this guy put on a show of arrogance in front of Du Wei. Not only did he not go to see Du Wei, but he also left without saying goodbye. In the end, he even played a trick of "stealing credit" with Du Wei and others.
Since Du Wei entered the political arena step by step, it can be said that Alpai is the only person who has successfully made Du Wei suffer a small loss. That time he stole credit, Prince Chen acquiesced, and Du Wei later
The two of them wrote separate letters to attack each other, and Prince Chen apparently silently supported this upstart in the imperial military.
If this is the case, and you think that Alpai is a young, ambitious, arrogant guy who doesn’t know the heights of the world, then you are wrong!
This guy who dared to take credit from Du Wei surprised Du Wei when they first met!
Thirty-three-year-old Arpai seems to be several years older than his actual age based on his appearance. If you just look at his appearance, I am afraid some people would believe that he is forty years old!
More importantly, Du Wei has met his sister, the beautiful and charming future princess, Miss Delly. However, from the appearance, this Alpai obviously does not inherit the family's beauty gene like his sister.
Alpay's facial features are very regular, but they are just regular. He is still far from "handsome". However, he has a strong body, a straight body, and broad shoulders. His fingers are thick and strong. At first glance, he looks like a soldier who holds a sword all year round.
.
As for his eyes... Du Wei read "calm" in them!
This kind of calmness is definitely not an act, but the kind of "indifferentness" that has become a habit after being in a long-term difficult environment!
Du Wei also had a thorough understanding of this political opponent. A few years ago, when he was young, it was not very good for Alpai to have a good time in his family. Life was also very difficult, not in the ordinary sense.
The kind of kid from a wealthy family who lives a prosperous life.
He had also been attacked by hostile forces within the family, and finally he suddenly rose to prominence because he got the biggest opportunity in his life.
Let's put it this way: General Alpay is a man who has lived a hard life and endured hardship. Therefore, it is obvious in his eyes that he is a little more determined than those children of traditional wealthy families.
He is definitely not an arrogant and proud person. Du Wei is sure of this.
This meeting took place in the commander's palace in the main fortress in the middle of the Kaspersky defense line.
The two giants of the empire's northern army, General Rostock of the Storm Legion and General Alpay, commander of the Thunder God's Whip Legion, read the secret order from the regent that Du Wei brought from the imperial capital.
Du Wei himself already knew the content of this secret order: it was about the future invasion of criminals.
The regent had already explained everything to the two northern military commanders on whom he relied.
The content of this document is undoubtedly extremely shocking! It can be said that it is appalling!
Du Wei could imagine that in this era, human beings were already the sole rulers of the continent, and the Roland Empire had been at peace for hundreds of years. Although there were occasional local wars, the opponents were only those barbaric aliens from the northwest grasslands, or those from Southeast Asia.
indigenous people, or internal separatist warlords.
From the perspective of the degree of harm, it is difficult for those to shake the foundation of the empire... and the most important thing is that those enemies, at least, they are also human beings!
But it’s different now!
They were told that soon, a powerful enemy would appear. The opponent was an alien race that humans had no knowledge of for thousands of years! A real alien! It was not a human being... it was...
It's a monster!
This word should be considered very appropriate.
This is a huge psychological gap!
These brave imperial soldiers may not be afraid of those steppe cavalry, because after all, their opponents are also humans. But if they fight "non-humans", I am afraid everyone will have an uncontrollable sense of unknown fear.
This feeling was just like the alien invasion in Du Wei's imagination in the world in his previous life.
General Rostock looked very unhappy, and the old general frowned tightly.
It was Alpay's performance that impressed Du Wei: this guy's expression had not changed from the beginning to the end. He still looked so deserted.
"Are these true?" Although the document was signed by Prince Chen, General Rostock still asked such a ridiculous question.
"It's all true." Du Wei said calmly: "In half a year at most, there will be tens of thousands or even more of these monsters running out of the frozen forest. These will be our enemies...
…The enemy of the entire human race. Their goal is not to defeat us, but to exterminate us. This is not a war in the ordinary sense, generals.”
Arpai stood up at this time, took the document from General Rostock's hand, looked at it twice, and then directly sent it to the flame of the candle and burned it!
"Your Majesty the Duke, please go back and tell His Highness that we have received his order and we will be fully prepared for war."
Alpay's voice was steady.
(This person must be born cold-blooded.) Du Wei thought to himself.
"Don't worry about military morale." Rostock also expressed his position: "The Storm Legion is the strongest subway wall in the empire. My soldiers will not be timid or chaotic."
"Okay. Then I'll feel relieved."
Even if Du Wei's mission was completed, he had already announced the announcement. As for how to rectify the morale of the army and ensure that the news would not cause turmoil after it spread, this was the job of the two generals.
As for Du Wei...since the regent intentionally does not want Du Wei to interfere with the army, then Du Wei will not interfere here.
However, he still handed over a piece of information he had to General Rostock in private. The information about the criminals and some descriptions of the combat effectiveness of the criminals from the place where Boss Bai Hechou sent him a message.
"These monsters are powerful, they are beast-like monsters. Of course, these are not too bad. We have powerful weapons. The only trouble may come from the sky." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "According to reliable information
, they probably have a huge air force."
"So the Northwest Independent Division that Andre is bringing now will become our air barrier?" Alpay interjected: "Is this an air force built with a lot of money from the empire?"
"That's it." Du Wei glanced at the political opponent: "I hope you can make good use of this air force. I have brought all the relevant information. There are many more combat methods of this air force... Of course
Yes, General Andre knows this. You can communicate with him more. General Andre is an old subordinate of General Rostock. I believe you will be able to cooperate well."
"In addition, there is good news. The first batch of students from the Empire's Magic Academy four years ago have now graduated. At the same time, in order to cope with this war, the Magic Academy has also specially approved a group of outstanding students to graduate early.
Graduation! Of course, in just three or four years, it is impossible for these students to grow into high-level magicians. The best among them have only reached the intermediate level, and the vast majority are still low-level magicians. But... this is after all
An established team of magicians, and they are different from the magicians sent by magic unions in the past to assist in the battle. This group of magic students are all loyal to the empire! They will obey the orders of the military commander unconditionally, and are very convenient to dispatch.
This can be regarded as the first time that the empire’s army has truly cooperated with magic to fight."
Du Wei laughed.
Rostock was very happy: "This is good news after all. With the help of the magician, it can help a lot."
"Those monsters also have races that are good at magic." Du Wei sighed: "His Highness' request is that you control the morale and morale of the army, and this big thing will be announced within two months. By then, the people will definitely
It's a bit unstable. But as long as the army is stable, we don't have to worry about anything. Moreover, when the time comes, the Magic Union, the Knights Association, and the Temple of Light will try their best to help us. After all, this is a battle that concerns all mankind.
war……"
All mankind... When he mentioned this word, Du Wei felt an urge to laugh in his heart.
Du Wei's mission is completed here.
The next work belongs to these two generals. After he completed the task, he immediately took his people back to the imperial capital.
Just before he left, he couldn't help but go up to the city wall again and take a look at this, which can be called the strongest military defense line in the history of the empire...
Solid city walls and fortresses, the most powerful weapons of war destruction that humans currently have, the Roland Empire's most elite main battle regiment, and an air force that spans this era.
The tall city walls, trenches, etc...
Such a powerful force should be able to stop those criminals!
Du Wei took one last look, jumped off the city wall, returned to his carriage convoy, and headed towards the Southern Imperial Capital.
While Du Wei was waiting, his political opponent, General Alpai, appeared on the city wall. This thirty-three-year-old upstart in the imperial military looked coldly at the car and horse team going away on the road.
His expression was very cold.
Then, he glanced at a deputy officer beside him, and suddenly said: "Two days ago, when Duke Tulip first arrived, did General Rostock give him a set of high-quality and precious armor? And a BMW?"
"Yes, sir... but it doesn't seem to be anything. General Rostock has always had a good relationship with the Luo Lin family, and he also gave him a set of armor and a horse. It doesn't seem to be anything."
"It's really nothing." Alpai shrugged his shoulders, and then said in a calm tone: "Immediately help me draft a secret report, sign my name, and submit it directly to His Highness the Regent himself to report Duke Tulip.
During the inspection and acceptance process of Kaspersky Fortress, they neglected their duties and accepted bribes.”
To be continued...
