Looking at the statue above, the Elf King fell into deep thought. In fact, for ten days after returning, he had been thinking about a question that he could not understand.
Regarding the future "return", 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 with his own eyes!
Those tall cities, majestic city walls, buildings full of wisdom, temples, palaces, cities, villages, small towns, grand canals, developed water transportation, powerful navy, and the imperial capital, and
……northwest!!
The human population is several times that of the sinners, although according to the simple way of thinking in the minds of the orcs, an ordinary orc can kill several strong human soldiers.
So for most orcs, their slogan is: rush into the human world! Kill! Kill all those guys! Then take this continent back! It originally belonged to us!!
So what if the human population is larger than ours? One of our warriors can kill several times their number!
But after witnessing the glorious civilization of mankind with his own eyes, even the proud Luoxue had to admit that maybe... it is possible to defeat mankind on the battlefield. But it is almost impossible to "exterminate" mankind!
The sinners are far from being that powerful.
Human beings have several times or even dozens of times the war potential. They may not have as powerful individual combat capabilities as the sinners, but they have nearly endless reserve forces and the entire continent's product resources as backing.
It has a civilization and heritage developed over thousands of years!
To exterminate such a race... can we do it with our own strength?
And the Tulip Duke in the northwest...
Luoxue thought of Du Wei's smiling face, and his heart skipped a beat. He was almost certain that on the battlefield in the future, the Tulip Duke would definitely bring him many, many "surprises"!
"Great God, I need your guidance." Luoxue sighed.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed something. When he raised his head, his expression suddenly changed!
I saw that the silver wire that had been broken into two pieces on the altar seemed to be beating slightly...
…
In the far north, the sinners are still preparing hard for a large-scale invasion in the future. The orcs imagine that in the future, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of powerful orc warriors armed to the teeth with elite weapons.
...Such an army of orcs poured into the Roland continent like a wave. What a wonderful scene it would be to pour out the fire of hatred accumulated over thousands of years onto the land of mankind.
The Elf King is in mysterious retreat in his sacrificial hall, without seeing anyone, not even the elders of the Elf clan. The Elf people, on the other hand, are waiting outside the sacrificial hall day and night, waiting for the worshiped king to come out.
, they sang beautiful songs day and night, hoping that their king would reappear in front of them with that proud and elegant smile.
The beautiful singing of the elves formed an interesting contrast with the tinkling and heated movement coming from the temple in the distance.
And further away, Dominez cheered up, waved his saber, shouted loudly, and trained his wolf cavalry...
This world...it seems that everything in the future will change.
However, for Du Wei, a sudden change came that was unexpected by everyone!
In other words, this is also destiny! Only a few people at the top of the empire know the secrets about the criminals in the future. The top leaders of the empire are secretly planning preparations for future wars...
But at this moment, a subtle thing inadvertently disrupted the situation!
Five hundred heavily armed tulip cavalry wearing heavy armor were galloping on the continent leading to the imperial capital.
It was obvious that this was a team of elite cavalry that had undergone strict training. Everyone on the horse stood straight. Their bodies moved up and down with the bumps of the horse's back very skillfully, thus saving their physical strength to the greatest extent.
As for the queue, the three hundred people in the front dispersed in an array that seemed loose but was actually full of vigilance and defense. Such a queue protected a carriage speeding behind the queue in the middle.
Behind the carriage, two hundred cavalrymen at the rear maintained an orderly formation while galloping.
The carriage in the middle is full of gorgeous colors!
Judging from the size, this carriage is almost three times the size of an ordinary carriage. Six highly trained white horses pull such a huge carriage and run without slowing down at all!
If there is an experienced magician, then you will find that when the carriage is running, the wheels below seem to be faintly emitting magic fluctuations. It is obviously blessed with some kind of magic, which lightens the carriage itself.
weight.
The body of the luxurious carriage is made of the finest wood, and the carriage is engraved with gilding patterns. The circles of patterns cover the body, as if they are the petals of some kind of flower.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the entire carriage, plus the patterns on the body, looks like a blooming tulip flower from a distance!
The wind magic on the wheels and hubs not only reduces the weight of the carriage itself, but also reduces the bumpiness of the carriage.
Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, was leaning on a soft velvet blanket. His body was as soft as a cloud, without the slightest bumps and pains. And the slight ups and downs seemed to induce drowsiness like a cradle...
…
However, Du Wei couldn't sleep at all at this moment!
He was leaning there, although his body was lazily, but he was holding an opened letter tightly in his hand. The sealing seal on the letter had been torn open by him. There was a golden thorn flower on it.
The ink pad pattern symbolizes that this letter is the highest level of confidential dispatch!
Du Wei held the letter in his hand. Although he had read it several times before setting off a few days ago, at this moment, he still couldn't help holding it, frowning and thinking hard.
He was so lost in thought that a bottle of wine in his hand suddenly fell down. The bright red wine spilled on his robe, and he realized what he was doing.
With a wry smile and flicking his robe, Du Wei took off his coat, opened the car window and threw it out.
Soon, an accompanying knight rushed to the carriage. It was Du Wei's bodyguard Elder Yan. He asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you have any orders?"
"Well..." Du Wei pondered for a moment. His voice was calm, but his command tone was unquestionable: "Speed up a little faster!"
Lao Yan was immediately ordered to leave. Soon, after a whistle, he heard the sound of a riding whip being raised...
The cavalry were galloping at full speed. In order to ensure the horse power on the road, each cavalryman brought a pair of cavalry, so they did not have to worry about the consumption of horse power.
Du Wei sighed and closed the car window. 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 and I call you to come home quickly!"
The following signature is:
Chen!
His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI is critically ill?
When Du Wei saw the urgent letter, he immediately took the people and set off without hesitation.
Because he knew very well that the life of Augustine VI was still very important! No matter from any angle, the emperor who had become a puppet could not die!
He cannot die!
Five hundred fully armed Tulip family cavalry were galloping on the main road of the empire. Such a movement was naturally very arrogant. According to the imperial decree, Du Wei brought five hundred fully armed cavalry back to the imperial capital.
Illegal behavior.
Because Du Wei's status is equivalent to that of a local prince, and when he returns to the imperial capital for business, local military generals and local governors are not allowed to bring large armies with him!
But Du Wei just brought an army. The five hundred cavalry were the most elite cavalry of the Tulip family.
After running around for many days and nights, when the cavalry team of 500 people arrived outside the imperial capital like a whirlwind in the evening, it had already alerted the attention and vigilance of the royal guards of the imperial capital. But after seeing clearly
After the tulip totem on the carriage, the Royal Guards carefully kept silent and did not go to stop it.
Because as early as two days ago, an order came from the palace that when the Tulip family's carriages and horses enter the city, no matter what, they are not to be interrogated or blocked!
This means: Even if Du Wei comes back with thousands of troops, let him enter the city!
Even in order to welcome Du Wei, military control has been put in place 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 go around other gates.
.
And Ximen was specially left for Du Wei!
The guards guarding the city gate saw the Tulip family's chariots and horses from a distance, and quickly opened the city gate. And the five hundred cavalry rushed into the city gate like a whirlwind, without even stopping. As for what
I didn’t even ask about the official documents for customs clearance procedures.
Although some of the Guardsmen were a little dissatisfied with this, they saw five hundred cavalry rushing in. The dust brought up by the horses' hooves made the soldiers guarding the city cough.
The family's private army! Guys like a miscellaneous army are also arrogant under the eyes of our Royal Guards!"
But such slight remarks immediately aroused the disdain of the veteran commander next to him: "Miscellaneous army? Huh, look at it, you idiot! What kind of war horses are they riding on? Those are the best war horses they can get on the grassland. They
The armor is better than that of the elite divisions of our Guards. Also, haven’t you seen the short crossbows that they have hung up right away? Huh, except for the elite divisions of the empire’s main battle corps, I haven’t seen it yet.
How can other armies prepare such things? Miscellaneous army? You idiot, the equipment of one cavalry is worth the value of twenty soldiers like us!"
"No way! Isn't it just the private army of a local noble? How could it have such good equipment? I'm afraid the imperial guards in the palace don't have such good equipment either!"
"Forest Army?" The veteran officer sneered: "Who doesn't know now that the richest man in the entire continent is the Tulip Duke! As long as you have money, you can't get any high-quality equipment! I heard that the Tulip family's private army pays,
They are twice as tall as us."
This group of cavalry almost ran rampant on the streets of the imperial capital until they arrived at the entrance of the palace, and then they stopped in their tracks.
Before the carriage could stop, Du Wei opened the door and jumped out first. This move shocked the guard Elder Yan.
But then, following Du Wei's eyes, Lao Yan looked back, and he saw that the true master of the empire, Prince Chen, the regent of the empire, had actually come out in person and stood at the gate of the imperial city!
Although he was no longer a royal guard, and Lao Yan had already completely despaired and hated these royal families, Lao Yan immediately ordered everyone to dismount and kneel down on one knee in the direction of Prince Chen to salute.
Du Wei almost trotted all the way and arrived in front of Prince Chen. His Highness's eyes had a hint of worry and anger, and his face looked a little lackluster. It was obvious that he had not rested for several days.
Without a word of politeness, Du Wei even forgot to salute, but immediately asked: "How is His Majesty the Emperor?"
His behavior 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 Tulip Duke.
"Du Wei, I'm very pleased that you came back quickly." Prince Chen spoke, his voice hoarse: "However, I'm sorry, because I didn't tell the truth in the letter and I lied to you."
"..." Du Wei was stunned and looked at Prince Chen in confusion.
"My father is not critically ill." Prince Chen looked around and his voice was very soft: "In fact, he is already dead! Just the night before I wrote to you!"
