Karina was really shocked when her father handed over all the court magicians to her!
Court Magician... This is the oldest and most mysterious force that protects the royal family!
According to the royal family's practice, the court magicians have always been directly commanded by the emperor! Even occasionally, when the emperor was old, he would ask the magicians to obey the young princes instead, but most of the young princes who were appointed to lead the court magicians
They are all trained as heirs to the throne!
Handing such an important force to a princess is truly an unprecedented initiative in the thousands of years since the Roland Empire was founded!!
Because, according to tradition, although the princess is a member of the royal family, women have to marry off after all, so generally speaking, they are also regarded as "outsiders".
Karina instantly understood her father's intention.
Such entrustment certainly has the intention of compensating oneself. But in addition, it also has the intention of strengthening one's own strength!
After all, since such a heavy responsibility has been entrusted to me, in order to be able to effectively assist my brother Charlie in the future, it is not enough if I have no power at all and am just an empty-headed princess.
But if you have a team of extraordinary magicians who swear allegiance to you and only obey your command, then... it will be a big difference!
A galloping horse carried a top order from the Imperial Military Headquarters in the Imperial Capital and delivered it to the eastern fortress of the Northern Front.
After several months of intensive repairs, this once-fallen fortress has returned to some of its former size.
The speeding messenger delivered the general's order to the commander-in-chief's palace in the fortress, and reported the order from the imperial capital to the supreme commander of the Eastern Front, Duke Tulip.
Duwei...
The Duke came back in a hurry a few days ago. This time Du Wei left secretly, taking the Griffin Knight with him. But the Griffin Knight came back on his own midway. The Duke of Tulip left the front line, and this news has been
Strictly confidential.
It wasn't until a few days ago that the Duke finally came back, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
But... everyone seems to feel that the Duke seems a little... different!
The first difference is... everyone obviously feels that the Duke has become a lot more silent. He seems to not like to talk anymore. He has become serious and silent.
When he came back, the Duke was accompanied by two women and a man. No one knew the identities of the two women and the man. After following the Duke into the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, they never appeared again.
However, according to the news circulating privately, a certain officer from the imperial capital recognized it. One of the young girls, two women and one boy, who came back with the Duke, was the one who participated in the "Number One Martial Arts Competition in the World" in the imperial capital.
The female samurai who stole the show!
However, the news could not be confirmed.
The second difference is that the Duke seems to have some strange illness...
I don’t dare to spread this randomly, but this is the news from the commander-in-chief’s palace. After the Duke came back this time, he rarely appeared in public and rarely spoke.
But when he was alone in private, he seemed to like to shut himself in his room and talk to himself.
Moreover, I don’t know if the adult is suffering from some strange illness. When talking to himself, he suddenly becomes calm and suddenly excited, and even quarrels with himself loudly.
Like... schizophrenia?
Well, that's the case. However, no one dares to say this out loud.
There was a servant in the commander-in-chief's house who once accidentally heard Du Wei talking to himself in the yard, hugging a big tree, sometimes in a low voice, sometimes loudly, and the words he said were also very strange.
"Ares, you coward! Coward!"
"Artemis, you are blinded by hatred."
"Two great gods, stop arguing, I'm really about to collapse..."
He talks to himself very strangely, as if the Tulip Duke has split into three different personalities. He often quarrels with himself all day long.
In the end, Du Wei had no choice but to send away all the servants who took care of him in his mansion, leaving only his loyal old housekeeper Ma De to serve him personally.
The third difference: The Duke is seriously ill, and it seems that he has a serious health problem. Because he will suddenly and without warning...faint on any occasion!
Since he came back, this kind of thing has happened three times. The first time was at a military meeting. As a result, a group of generals almost died of fright. They quickly called the medical officer for rescue, but nothing could be found wrong until
Half an hour later, the adult suddenly woke up on his own.
After the adults woke up, the first thing they said was: "Please, can you please stop fighting in my head!"
The fourth difference: adults seem to go crazy intermittently!
This is the most terrifying thing!
No one knew how strong Du Wei was before. Everyone knew that this young Duke was very strong. How high is he? Is he a saint?
No one can tell clearly.
However, this time, everyone finally has a more intuitive understanding:
The day after Du Wei came back, he personally went to inspect the repair work of a section of the northern city wall. After a month of hard work by the craftsmen, the fifty-meter-long section of the city wall had been completely repaired, and its sturdiness had also improved.
Tested and met the imperial military law standards.
result……
That day, accompanied by dozens of generals, there were thousands of soldiers and thousands of workers around. Logically speaking, the Duke should give a few morale-boosting speeches...
As a result, Du Wei suddenly held his head and went crazy! He seemed to be in great pain, and suddenly, inexplicably, he shouted loudly: "Why are you fighting again!!!"
Everyone was confused when he said this, but seeing the adult holding his head as if in pain, they hurriedly came to rescue him.
However, after taking two steps, no one caught up to touch Du Wei!
Just because Du Wei, who was in pain, accidentally slapped the newly built city wall next to him!
As a result... in front of everyone, the fifty-meter-long city wall, which was built in full compliance with the first-class standards of the imperial military law, was slapped on it by him, and it suddenly collapsed!
Everyone clearly saw that under the Duke's palm, it seemed as if a ray of light was forced into the city wall, and then, the fifty-meter-long city wall turned into rubble amidst the roar!
!
That was a real smash! Later, when people were cleaning up the ruins, they searched for a long time and found that the largest stone on the ground was only the size of a fist. Damn it, the city wall was built with huge square stones one after another!!
Therefore, once the Duke goes crazy, the first thing everyone should do is: run away as quickly as possible! Otherwise, if you are accidentally slapped by the Lord, humph, think about what that section of the city wall will look like.
Bar!!
It must be said that Du Wei's strange behavior also caused a great degree of turmoil in the morale of the military.
If the commander is suffering from a strange disease and cannot stay awake at all times, there will be big problems in the command of the army.
Fortunately, during this period, the battle situation stabilized, and the enemies on the north bank of the river had no intention of launching a large-scale attack.
After Du Wei regained consciousness, he immediately issued an order. General military matters were decided by several division commanders. Unless it was a major military matter, there was no need to notify him.
However, everyone is wondering:
Our Lord Tulip Duke, what on earth happened to him?!
When the imperial capital's military headquarters' messenger sent the general's order, the military headquarters' highest order, the general did not dare to make a decision easily and had no choice but to report it to Du Wei.
Fortunately, Du Wei seemed to be still sober. He personally received the imperial capital's messenger and read the imperial capital's military orders.
The military order is very simple: order all troops in the theater to be stationed on site from the moment they receive the order. They are not allowed to mobilize without authorization! They are not allowed to leave their own defense area! If there is any movement out of their own defense area, if it exceeds a thousand people, they must report it to the army.
department!
Otherwise, it will be punished as treason!
Du Wei was stunned for a moment when he saw this order. The generals around him seemed to see something in the Duke's eyes...
sad?!
Yes, that is indeed sadness!
That night, Du Wei stood alone in the yard, facing south, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, silent, just sipping, sipping, drinking for a whole night!
It was almost dawn when Du Wei suddenly dropped the bottle on the ground and sighed.
"farewell!"
On that day, Du Wei was in the north, drinking heavily all night and sighing at dawn.
In the imperial capital...
On the city wall, the golden thorn flower flags were slowly lowered. Then, on the imperial city of the imperial capital and on each gate of the imperial capital city wall, the specially made black thorn flower flags were lowered one by one.
Rise up!
And it was also in the early morning of this day.
Countless elite knights, put on heavy black attire, and carrying urgent documents in black leather envelopes, came out of various city gates of the imperial capital and flew towards all parts of the continent. Their missions,
It is to convey this sad news to all parties in mainland China.
The nine hundred and sixty-sixth year of the empire, late autumn.
Winter is coming.
A sad message from the imperial capital spread across the continent.
The actual master of the empire and the regent of the empire, Augustine Chen, died of illness in the imperial city at the age of thirty-two!
This young regent reigned for more than five years from the time he took office after the coup in the 961st year of the empire until his death due to illness.
Although he was never crowned emperor in his life, and later generations even debated endlessly why he voluntarily gave up the throne and became regent. But it is undeniable that this regent, who has been in power for five years, everyone admits that his
During his reign, he was actually the real king of the mainland. After his death, the funeral was carried out in accordance with the emperor's standards.
In the "General History of the Mainland" which was revised many years later, the biography of the only regent in the history of the empire was also included in the biography of the emperor.
He didn't wait to be crowned, but in people's hearts, he was an emperor!
