Chapter 167: The Duke's Duties

When Roddy strode in, Andy was lazily lying on the soft cloud on the top balcony of the palace castle, holding a glass of fresh milk in one hand and a fresh "newspaper" in the other, the morning sun had just risen in the sky, and the skeleton emperor sighed contentedly: "This is a happy life......

Then he glanced back at Luo Di: "Boy, what happened when you came to me so early?"

Roddy glanced at Andy twice and said directly: "How long will I be the Duke of Tulip?"

Andy didn't speak. [No pop-up novel network]

Luo Di already showed an impatient expression: "Thor's whip has also taken over, the opposition forces in the imperial capital have also been swept away, and the Marquis of Caroline has been hiding at home for the past few days and is afraid to go out...... What else do you need for me, Duke Tulip? I don't want to live in front of anyone else's face anymore! And the reader is getting a little tired of it!"

Andy slowly put down what he was holding, stood up from the soft collapse, and walked back into the room.

"I know you're getting impatient. Andy seemed to sigh: "But you have to be patient for a while...... he smiled: "The situation has just stabilized, and a Tulip Duke is needed to calm the scene......"

Roddy frowned, and just about to say something, Andy had already preemptively said: "Boy, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you want to get rid of this identity as soon as possible...... Then you can go to the Pope's troubles, right? I tell you, it's not yet!"

Andy sighed: "Do you think I like the Divine Cult very much?" His tone gradually became serious: "The Divine Cult has ruled the entire Great 6 Spiritual World for thousands of years, and you alone can compete with them? How about Mr. Qiu? Domain powerhouse! In front of the 'séance' of the Pope and those bishops, they were destroyed in one fell swoop! Do you think you can beat them?"

Roddy's eyes lit up: "No matter what, I will definitely not let go of Corsica VI!"

"You won't let him go?" Andy frowned, "Have you forgotten the dragon on your body? That chick in the Silver Moon Clan didn't let you go, do you think the Church of God let go of a person who inherited the demon dragon?"

Andy's eyebrows were a little worried: "Sooner or later, they will know! When the time comes, if you don't go to the Pope, they will find you! Why should they deal with Mr. Qiu? It's because he's from the Kara tribe. In their eyes, you are even more 'different' than Mr. Qiu!"

Roddy said coldly, "So what? I must land the Dracula Spear!" His tone was a little flamboyant: "What else is the blood of the gods!"

Andy said in a deep voice, "I'll tell you kid. When you face a strong enemy, if your strength is not enough to defeat the opponent, then you better not do it yet! Be patient, be patient and say that your strength is strong enough, and then the victory will be decided in one fell swoop! That is the right way!"

Roddy frowned: "What then?"

Andy smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten the fable that Vultures told?"

A deep smile appeared on his face. He whispered slowly: "The shackles of a thousand years have gradually decayed, and the eyes of the devil will be on the earth. The blood of the emperor will eventually solidify. A vicious curse will haunt every piece of light. They spread calamities everywhere with curses, and they spread death throughout the earth with calamities. The blood of the gods will wash down the temple, and the withering of the thorn flower will take away all the earth. ”

Roddy's eyes flashed: "The shackles of a thousand years are gradually decaying. What kind of shackles is that? Could it be the confinement of the demon dragon? The devil's eyes are on the earth, the devil, not the demon dragon, but Kara. Anyway, in the eyes of the people of the Cult of God, both of these are devils...... The blood of the emperor will eventually solidify, and now the emperor of the empire is dead, and so is the son of Barang. The queen's child is not the bloodline of the Thorn Flower family at all, so this sentence can also explain it! Needless to say, the withering of the Thorn Flower is not to mention...... The blood pulse of the god collapsed the temple...... Does that mean ......?"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Andy's mouth: "Collapse the temple, don't you understand? In other words, the temple will definitely be destroyed in the future!"

"The blood of the gods...... Luo Di said suddenly, "what is the blood of the gods? Is it the blood of the gods? But when will the gods appear? How can he make him bleed?"

Andy sighed and shook his head: "Well, I don't know about this. You probably know......

Aren't you inexplicably having a lot of strange things in your head? How to make the gods bleed, I guess the demon dragon will know better...... Ha ha. ”

Roddy frowned and said, "What kind of curse and disaster, what are you talking about......"

A strange look flashed in Andy's eyes, but that glimmer of gaze only flashed, and then he snorted and said with a smile: "We don't understand these things for a while, and we are not in a hurry, but I hope you can be patient! I said, be patient! The longer you endure, the more powerful the slap of your enemies in the future! I have told you this truth many times, don't you still understand?"

Luo Di was silent and said slowly: "Patience is patience, I can endure it temporarily, but I really don't want to continue to pretend to be this Duke Tulip." ”

He looked up at Andy and said, "I'm going to be myself!

Luo Di said lightly: "I don't know what your plan is, but what do you want me to do, it's better to tell me first." He approached Andy step by step: "I don't like the feeling of being controlled and controlled, this matter is not resolved for a day, I am not at ease for a day." ”

Andy shook his head, "Don't you have a ten-year contract with Dark......er? Well, don't worry about the mountains, the vultures are dead, and the hills will be the world of the Silver Moon tribe from now on. Look at the way that light moon dances heaps you. I guess she's embarrassed to go against you...... And the Roland in the north 6 ......"

The more Luo Di listened, the more gloomy his face became, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Yanta'er in the northwest? If I pacify the northwest grassland, will I be free?"

Andy suddenly smiled: "Luo Yanta'er, don't be busy dealing with it first...... He's very useful...... He should be a very useful stepping stone in my plan...... A stepping stone to foil the hero......"

Andy grinned, and then his expression gradually became weird: "Well, it won't be long before you are satisfied...... Now that Seth is really gone. Then there is no need for this person to continue to exist......"

Roddy's heart moved: "There is no need to continue to exist?"

Andy smiled weirdly: "Boy, I promise you, let you be yourself, be Roddy! But, have you ever thought that when you are Roddy, you can also be Duke Tulip...... I promise you who you really are, and I promise you that you can be with Nicol in peace...... But this Tulip Duke, you still have to continue to be in power. ”

Andy leaned in. Whispered something in Roddy's ear......

Roddy didn't smile, there was no light expression on his face, and he suddenly gave Andy a strange look. Said slowly: "Andy, no matter what you are going to do, I said it, don't try to control me anymore." Don't let me do things I don't like to do!"

Andy said coldly: "For Nicol, don't you want to?"

Roddy glanced at Andy deeply, suddenly showed a smile, and said lightly: "Okay! Just, Andy! I hope you won't make me regret it!"

After Roddy left, the smile on Andy's face gradually disappeared, and he sighed: "This kid has more and more ideas of his own...... Just, alas...... That language curses and calamities, is that you? calamity...... What an interesting thing......"

The Caroline Marquis was well aware of his current situation.

The matter of the imperial capital has been spread, and the news has spread to all corners of the empire, and now everyone understands very well - the Lionheart family, which was originally favored by the emperor in the empire, is about to fall!

In the past, there was a lot of traffic in front of the door, but now it is a crowd. Those who used to befriend themselves now avoid the Marquis's Mansion even when they walk.

But the Marquis of Caroline, after all, was an old fox in politics, and he understood: "No one knows how to win until the end!"

After all, although the emperor's attitude towards himself has changed now, the Northern Army is still in his own hands! With military power in his hands, then the emperor will not dare to really do anything to himself! Moreover, after so many years of painstaking management, his influence in the imperial officialdom cannot be eliminated by elimination! No matter what the reason, as long as he supports himself, then there will definitely be opportunities in the future!

The Tulip family has been suppressed by the emperor for so many years, and finally can stand up again, then, the Lionheart family can do the same!

Of course, the first thing is how to keep the military power in the hands of the family!

Miró in the Northern Legion and Ruben in the Northwest are not the same!

In the same way, the commander of the corps, Reuben said that he would withdraw, and that was because he was stupid! A reckless martial artist who does not know how to cultivate his own power, of course he cannot stand!

However, Miró is the successor that the Caroline Marquis has spent countless efforts to cultivate! Whether it is strategy and scheming, he is enough to take charge of himself! He has run a very good business in the Northern Army over the years, and it can be said that he has basically controlled the morale of the army. Those forces belonging to the military command have basically been hollowed out by him. The Northern Legion Miro is no different.

In this case, the emperor wants to remove him? Is it so easy?

The Caroline Marquis sneered.

Ziggy had been promoted to the deputy commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, but he, the deputy corps, did not have the slightest expression of joy.

The team that couldn't watch it...... They also deserve to be called "Thor's Whip"?

It's a joke!

Those commanders are all wine bags and rice bags, and their ability to count money is better than their ability to fight! Ziggy only watched the drill in the army once, and his face was almost blue -- Originally, the Central Cavalry Corps had not had a large-scale drill for a long time, and Ziggy was only conducting a drill in the wolf's tooth army. Although I knew that other military camps had been corrupted in military discipline, but to what extent it was bad, I finally opened my eyes.

Simply march in a march. In fact, more than a dozen of the 100 soldiers in a group twisted their feet, and more than a dozen were trampled on their shoes......

A simple cavalry charge drill actually rushed halfway to the distance, and several cavalrymen collided with themselves, and several were injured on the spot. There are also people who rush, but when they rush to the end, they don't know when the scimitar in their hands is lost......

Ziggy was so angry that his nose almost crooked. Luo Di didn't say a word, and stood aside coldly, without any joy or anger on his face.

"Let all the officers line up!" said Roddy coldly. Then he looked at the commanders beside him, who had long been pale, and said coldly: "Look at what! I said that the officers were lined up, didn't you hear?"

More than a dozen commanders and deputy commanders hurriedly ran down. The local soldiers brought the war horses to bring weapons, and Luo Di also walked down, turned over his horse first, looked coldly at the subordinates beside him with shocked faces, and said coldly: "You are all the commanders of the Central Cavalry Legion. Can you not do it, and if you don't want to do it, get out of the Central Cavalry Corps! Take off that uniform on your body!"

Nobody said ha.

Luo Di took a deep breath: "If there are people who want to leave, I will never stop them! But in three days I will come to watch, I will not watch the soldiers' drills, I will see the officers first! Whoever can't do it will be executed! Everything will be done according to the wartime decree!" His eyes were as cold as ice, and he said fiercely: "Thor's whip does not leave garbage!"

After saying that, he rode his horse and left first, without looking at the people.

Ziggy was still worried: "It's just that Lord Duke's approach seems to be too intense, it's better to train hard in time, even if I'm here, I can always train them into a qualified hungry thunder god whip!"

Luo Di suddenly stopped his horse, glanced at Zige, and then said: "Zige, the current Central Cavalry Legion has completely rotted!" His expression was a little strange: "It can be said that these people, from soldiers to officers, are not soldiers at all! Soldiers are for Thor's Whip's generous salary, and officers are just a bunch of scum in order to embezzle more military materials." Think about it, if they had a little bit of combat effectiveness, would the process of us entering the city that day be so smooth?" his tone gradually became solemn: "Think about it, what if

It was not us who broke into the city that day, but a group of enemy troops, the cavalry of the steppe Rochenthal, and these people could resist it? I am afraid that in less than a moment or three, it will collapse!"

Roddy sighed: "I admit that there are prodigal sons in this world who turn back, and there are bad people who become good people...... But that's a minority after all! In my opinion, instead of wasting time trying to reorganize this army, it's better to replace all that garbage!" Speaking of this, Luo Di said lightly: "Not only these officers, but also those soldiers! They don't want to say anything about Thor's whip, even the standard of ordinary soldiers can't be met! Spend time on them, it's better to rinse and select new blood in the local garrison!"

Ignoring Zigger's expression, Luo Di said lightly: "Pass my order, re-exercise in three days, and there are all executions like today! Everything is in accordance with the military order during the war! If you want to leave, let them take off this military uniform for me and get out of the barracks!"

"Three days??" Zigger's eyes widened: "These people can't practice in three days......"

Luo Di sneered: "I don't have anyone to practice ......... I didn't expect them to practice at all...... I'm giving them three days to get out of here! Let those guys who are trying to get paid get out of here! I don't want to give them another chance! 'Thor's Whip' is a proud name, and the opportunity is given to those who are entitled to it!"

Duke Tulip's military order was handed down, and there was immediate chaos in the barracks.

The soldiers are almost mutinied—especially those who are just trying to mix up the salaries, and they will have nothing to eat in the future, so what can they do?

But it seems that Luo Di had expected it a long time ago, and 10,000 heavily armed wolf tooth troops were guarding outside the barracks. There is trouble. Immediately grabbed a military stick.

As a result, under the operation of Roddy, the largest large-scale soldier discharge in the history of the empire was produced......

Nearly 200,000 Central Cavalry Corps, after selection, only less than 50,000 remained, and the rest all took off their uniforms and became civilians. From now on, life and death will depend on heaven...... I want to live. Rely on yourself!

The Tulip Duke's Mansion was almost crushed by families led by officers, large and small. Countless pleas and bribes were blasted out by Roddy. In the end, he simply let the guard Rand lead a team of people to guard the door of the Duke's Palace.

Those who have some forces in the family finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they came to the hard ground and tried to unite to put pressure on Roddy, but Roddy didn't even look at it, and just threw a sentence to Rand: "There are rude guys." Hit it out, throw it down the street!"

The next day, a group of nobles with blue noses and swollen faces ran to the emperor to complain -- too much of a bully! Even Duke Tulip can't be so arrogant! They are all nobles. There are so many families, just let him fight?!

But the emperor's words made them completely cold: "You can go to Duke Tulip to communicate with Duke Tulip about this matter." ”

There are also crying and crying trying to win the emperor's sympathy with this method. But His Majesty the Emperor didn't even bother to look at it, and the Guards directly blasted them out of the palace.

In this way, the most powerful and elite central cavalry corps of the four main armies of the empire, the famous "Thor's Whip", after rectification, there were only 50,000 people left (including the 20,000 wolf tooth army that was reassigned to Thor's Whip).

The reserve department of the empire was busy, and it was going to recruit 150,000 reserves...... And it's still into the "Thor's Whip" - not to mention the Thor's Whip, let's wait for the Duke's whip first!

Those barons and viscounts who were driven out of the Central Cavalry Regiment by their noses and swollen faces are role models!

At a time when the Central Cavalry Corps was busy expanding, and the officers of the reserve department were busy almost all night. Late at night, Roddy hid in the Duke's palace reading a book.

Nicole sat beside him, her face was a little melancholy, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Roddy, are you in too much of a hurry to rectify Thor's whip like this? ”

Roddy put down the count and smiled faintly: "I know...... Even Duke Tulip had never done such a thing. He pointed to the book in his hand and said with a smile: "I have carefully studied the history of how the former Duke Tulip led his troops to war.

Nicole sighed: "You have offended so many people all at once......"

Roddy looked away and smiled, "Nicole, you're wrong...... It's not me, Roddy, who offends. It's Seth! It's Seth Duke Tulip!"

Nicole was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Is there any difference?"

"The difference is huge. Roddy sighed: "I'm in a hurry! The sooner I finish doing what is supposed to be Duke Tulip, the sooner I will be free!"

He couldn't help but gently hold Nicole's hand, and said softly: "I don't want to be your 'brother' anymore! Nicole! I don't want to hold your hand and have to secretly close the door! I want to be Roddy! I hope to be able to hold your waist and hold your hand in front of others, and I can kiss you when I want to kiss you." ”

With that, Roddy gently tugged Nicole's waist and kissed her on the red lips.

Nicole looked at the hot look in Roddy's eyes, her cheeks were crimson, she gently hooked Roddy's neck, and said softly in an inaudible voice: "Roddy...... I...... I'll be your woman tonight, okay?"
