Chapter 168: The Star-Making Movement
Early in the morning, Duke Tulip's bodyguard was ordered to prepare a carriage, because the Duke had to enter the palace early in the morning to see His Majesty the Emperor. [No pop-up novel network]
It seems that the Duke's spirit is not very good, his face seems to be a little tired and anxious, and there are a lot of bloodshot eyes - one of the guards looked at the young commander of the empire with great admiration, and sighed in his heart: The Duke has been working hard for the military affairs of the empire all night~~
Wearing an extremely ornate leather armor and a bright red cloak, when he strode into the emperor's dormitory, he saw the current emperor of the empire, His Majesty Andy, whispering to the fat man Tianlie who was wearing a royal guard uniform.
The two hundred-year-old guys both have sneaky expressions, and the gaze in their eyes is even more ~~ Uh, obscene?
Glancing at Roddy who walked in, Andy suddenly stood up, and then slowly fell into Tianlie's arms with an extremely intoxicated expression, looked up at Tianlie with affectionate eyes, and said infinitely affectionately: "Oh! Roddy~~ Let me be your woman tonight!"
Tianlie pretended to have a firm expression, hugged Andy in his arms in an extremely exaggerated posture, and held Andy's waist with one hand, and then looked at Andy's eyes affectionately, with a painful expression on his face: "Oh." Nicole, my dear Nicole~~ I love you, it is an absolutely unquestionable truth! It's like the sun in the sky has to rise every day~~ But, no, my love, we can't do that~~"
Andy immediately squeezed out a sad and resentful expression: "Why, Roddy, why is this?"
Tianlie sighed infinitely deep: "It's because I love you, Nicole. I love you so much that I don't want to get you in such a way. I don't want to get you in such a situation~~" Then Tianlie's eyes showed an extremely firm gaze, and he said loudly: "Our love should be under the sun, I hope to be able to be with you, but not now~~ I want to let the people of the world know that you are my Roddy's woman! A great and noble love should not be hidden in any darkness~~ I hope that when I remove this mask in the future." I can really be with you and let you be my woman openly~~"
Andy's gaze was almost intoxicated and fainted, making a shy and surprised look, and stretched out a hand to hook Tianlie's fat neck~~
Luo Di's face was already dark, his forehead was bruised, and his first reaction was to immediately pull out the dragon tooth sword on his body and slash at the two old bastards who were hugging each other!
Seeing that the dragon tooth sword was slashed with golden fighting energy, the two guys who were still inseparable from life and death just now immediately ran faster than rabbits~~ Tianlie is a strong man in the field after all, his body is gone in a flash, and he runs away in a flash-he is still very unrighteous and pushes Andy over to block the sword.
Andy exclaimed. The dragon tooth sword carried a golden fighting aura, and he slashed his head into the air, and then the old skeleton screamed: "You kid is really slashed!"
Luo Di didn't say a word, and the dragon tooth sword in his hand slashed left and right, and His Majesty, the current Emperor of the Empire, was very graceless and shouted in the dormitory to dodge left and right.
"Don't be so angry~~ Who told you to wear that mask, I can't even listen to what happened last night~~ Oh, your sword is so ruthless!Stop, stop!Isn't it~~Damn, you're still here~~ Are you angry with us because of your dissatisfaction last night~~Tianlie, you dead fat man still don't come to help~~Help~~Duke Tulip murdered the emperor~~"
Tianlie had already floated to the roof with his arms in his arms, and watched heartlessly as Duke Tulip chased the emperor down in the dormitory, and this sinister guy also deliberately arranged an enchantment in the dormitory. So that the movement here will not be transmitted to the outside, and then from time to time pointed: "Okay, this sword is beautiful." Be a little more ruthless~~ That's right, it's not fast enough!Oops~~ This sword stab is off~~"
Andy screamed while running, but unfortunately even Roddy could see that at least half of his frightened expression was pretended, and finally Roddy suddenly stood still, put the sword in his hand fiercely, stretched out his left hand, his palm was bluffed upward, and black fire began to emerge from his hand~~
"Damn!" Tianlie was startled: "You can't really be so angry, right?
Andy was really sweating, and he stepped back again and again: "Okay, okay, boy, no kidding with you." Seeing that Roddy was about to use the "Demon Dragon Purgatory Kill", Andy shouted in a hurry: "I'll let you restore your true face soon!"
This is more effective than anything else.
"Really?" Roddy grimaced, and the fire dragon in his hand gradually subsided.
Andy wiped the cold sweat on his head, he knew that Roddy was really on fire just now, and quickly said what he thought in his heart: "I just got a news in the morning, the Northern Big 6 Temple has a new move~~ So, I discussed it with the fat man, and now is a good opportunity." ”
Luo Di glanced at Tianlie, who was still floating on it, and then frowned and said, "Northern Big 6?
Tianlie grinned and said loudly: My old skeleton said that your kid has a little lover in the North Big 6, and this matter has something to do with your little lover. ”
Seeing that Luo Di was about to draw his sword and cut people again, Tianlie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not a joke, something really happened~~ Old skeleton, you say it quickly!"
Andy cleared his throat before he said slowly: "There has been a miracle in the Northern Great 6! It is said that the Pope of the Temple has received some divine instructions, and the decree of the Temple has spread to more than a dozen kingdoms in the Northern Roland 6, and they are ready to start a 'holy war', the goal, of course, is our Empire of Light." ”
Luo Di frowned: "Miracles, holy wars, what does that have to do with Miaosi?"
Andy sighed. smiled: "Is this, of course it has something to do with it~~ It is said that the sage sent by the Great 6 Divine Temple in the Northern Great 6 Divine Temple in the Kingdom of Sauron has been recalled to the temple to be punished because of his opposition to the holy war, and I heard that it seems that he has been imprisoned." ”
"Really?" Luo Di's face was a little wrong, his eyes were a little complicated, and when he heard the news of the Black Veil Sage, he immediately had a strange feeling in his heart, and his mind couldn't help but recall the days when he was on the vast northwest grassland, and this woman dressed as a man was dependent on each other~~
"She. Has she been arrested for opposing the temple's fatwa?" Roddy's voice trembled a little, and his eyes showed a sad look.
Is she against the war~~ because of herself?
Luo Di was a little gloomy in her heart, Miao Si didn't know that her duke was fake, I'm afraid she didn't want to fight, she just didn't want to go against herself on the battlefield~~ She regards faith as her life, for herself. Even rebelled against the fatwa of the Temple?
Andy sighed: "You don't have to worry~~ That chick won't be fine." ”
Nothing will happen?
Roddy felt a little frightened in his heart, and he knew in his heart that whether it was the Great Bright 6 or the Roland Great 6, the guys of the Cult of God were absolutely cruel and ruthless in dealing with heretics who opposed the Cult! How many people had been burned to death at the stake for hundreds of years? How many people had been hanged in front of the religious center?
Andy walked up to him, patted Roddy on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it so scary, that chick doesn't have anything to do now~~ After all, her status in the Divine Cult is very high, do you think it is easy for the temple in the north to cultivate a 'Sage'? ”
When Roddy heard this, he remembered Miaosi's identity. A little relieved, although the gloom in his eyes did not decrease, he had already whispered: "Then, what do you mean by what you just said that this is a good opportunity?"
Andy grinned: "Of course the opportunity is a good opportunity~~ At the beginning of the holy war, then it is necessary for Duke Tulip to guard the empire and gallop on the battlefield." In any case, as soon as the war is over, we will declare you dead from your mortal wounds. Then Seth's historical mission will be over~~"
Luo Di frowned: "The war is over? This kind of war between the two big 6s, even if it lasts for three or five years, is not strange." When the war is over, I don't know how long I will have to wait!"
Andy glared at him, "What's the matter? Now it's people who are coming to beat us, whether we want to or not." Fight still has to fight. If the Bright Empire fights a war, how can you do without you, the Duke of Tulip? You can't just announce that Duke Tulip is dead right now, right? If you announce it now, Duke Tulip will die before the battle is fought, then you know the consequences! Without Duke Tulip, the Emperor ** team would not even be able to defeat the Great Moon Kingdom in the northwest! Not to mention the combined forces of more than a dozen countries in the north plus the temple! Besides, the banner of the army of the Empire of Light, the death of the great Tulip Commander in a great war, is a very decent way to call the curtain ~~ Could it be that the legendary Duke Tulip couldn't have been hit by a carriage when he went out and died, or choked to death while eating, right?"
Luo Di pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "The Northern Big 6 has always dared not dare to confront the empire head-on, how could it suddenly start a war?"
Andy also showed a solemn gaze in his eyes: "I don't know, it's just that according to the report, their temple has received some divine instructions and what miracles have appeared." It's not very clear, but war is imminent, and now we have to be ready to fight, whether we want it or not. ”
Tianlie shook his head, and a strange gaze flashed in his eyes: "But this matter can't just let us carry it, since it is a 'holy war' about religious beliefs, then the people of the Divine Cult will also have some strength, presumably Corsica VI can't oppose it, right? Take this opportunity to make good use of the power of the Divine Cult and see how much strength they are hiding~~ Besides, judging from the power of the 'séance' they used that day, we won't lose." ”
Luo Di shook his head, and his eyes showed deep thought: "Not necessarily! Didn't the Northern Temple say that it had received some instructions from the gods? Didn't it also say that there were some miracles~~ This matter is a little strange. Although the two Great 6 cults are incompatible, they both believe in God, and Corsica VI can use the 'séance', which is obviously the help of God. But why would God help the temple in the north again?"
Tianlie smiled coldly: "How do we know about this kind of thing, only those guys in the sky know!"
Andy nodded. said: "Yes, boy, this thing came suddenly, but no matter what, you can't hide from it." If someone else wants to fight, we can only deal with it. Whether you want to or not, at least for now, you have to continue to be this duke, this war must not only be fought, but also find a way to win! After winning the war, the current threat of the empire will be greatly reduced, and the identity of Seth can come to a smooth end. But if you lose. Then~~ Hehe, let's accompany this empire to the end. ”
After a pause, Andy smiled again: "This time, most of the Half-God Sects sent their Flame Warrior Regiment, we can make good use of this power, and let them fight the two God Sects in the north and south." You have to remember that you should come out when you should come out, but don't be reckless when you should pretend to be stupid! There is also the military power of the Northern Army~~ so don't move that Miro for the time being. The big war is imminent. Although Miró is a Marquis Caroline, out of the dignity of the family, he will never join the Rolands. Besides, this kid does have some ability, and the Northern Legion is very obedient to him, and there is no time to remove him at this time and slowly rectify the Northern Legion. ”
Subsequently, Andy summoned all the important ministers of the empire, declared the war of the Great 6 in the north, and then officially ordered war preparation!
The Southern Army dispatched 100,000 men led by General Camus to immediately go north to defend the imperial capital, while Duke Tulip immediately went north with only 50,000 Thor's whips to join the Northern Army, and the four northern provinces and the northwest provinces immediately carried out reserve recruitment. At the same time, the Northwest Army stepped up its defensive and combat readiness - after all, the Great Moon Kingdom and the Northern Big 6 colluded. At this time, if Rochenthal doesn't step in, then he won't be Rochenthal!
His Majesty Corsica VI, the Pope of the Divine Cult of the Empire of Light, also immediately issued an order, and the Flame Warrior Regiments belonging to the Divine Cult throughout the empire were also quickly mobilized and marched north!
It's just that the Flame Warrior Order hasn't fought for hundreds of years - although for religious reasons, this army in charge of defending the Cult of God has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, and legend has exaggerated their strength extremely amazingly - but several generals of the Imperial Command are extremely disdainful, in their words: How powerful can an army that has not fought in a hundred years be?
The dark clouds of war gradually loomed over the Guangming 6, especially the imperial capital. I felt a strong pre-war atmosphere even more - the Thor's Whip military camp was extremely busy these days, and the troops were frequently moved. All sorts of military supplies were collected. Weapons, horses, etc., were all placed in the hands of those who had just been selected from the reserves—of course, Roddy did not intend to let these recruits go to the battlefield immediately to die. The recruitment of recruits for the reserve has just begun, and these rookies who have just entered Thor's Whip still need to go through rigorous training before they can come in handy~~
According to Roddy's estimates. I'm afraid that this war of the two big 6 will not end in a short time, even if it lasts for three years and five years, it is not surprising that these recruits will not be able to go to the battlefield in the early stage of the war, and they will always have to wait until they have been trained for a period of time before they can be slowly used to replenish the troops lost in the war.
The real strength of the Central Cavalry Legion is now only 50,000 people, but these 50,000 people are qualified soldiers who have been selected and left, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are far stronger than the Thor's whip that had a huge number but was loose and crumbling.
After Ziggy reorganized the army, after a brief review, he was finally satisfied: "This is a little bit of Thor's whip." ”
Of course, the Wolf Tooth Army has taken the position of the most elite main force in this nascent Thor's whip. At the same time, it was also the cavalry regiment directly under Duke Tulip. It turned out that the Wolf Tooth Army, which had been squeezed out everywhere in the old Thor's Whip, was now in a completely different position than before, and the pride and excitement on the faces of the soldiers could not be faked at all. After all, in the current Thor's Whip, they are the only ones who have truly experienced the Northwest War and followed the Duke from birth to death.
And unlike before every previous war, the clouds brought by the war did not cast any panic on the imperial capital.
The panic and uneasiness before the previous war are now replaced by an emotion of excitement and excitement~~ The entire imperial capital is plunged into an extreme excitement - the civilians are even full of enthusiasm for war!
This situation is entirely due to the thing called "newspaper" created by His Majesty the Emperor~~
In successive issues of the newspaper, a belief in victory was proclaimed, and in order to dispel the panic, at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, the tone of the newspaper was completely covered by a high-profile propaganda. The newspapers were filled with some exciting pre-war propaganda and mobilization.
His Majesty the Emperor said to the literati who presided over the newspapers: What can really arouse the convictions and emotions of the masses? It is not an empty slogan, still less an empty declaration. It's heroes!
Erect heroes and tall images to let the public worship, let people admire, and use the image of heroes to stimulate people's hearts!
And the most suitable person for the empire to serve as a "hero" at present is undoubtedly our young commander of the imperial ** team, the current duke of the great tulip family! So for a while, all kinds of newspapers in the imperial capital were full of such headlines:
"Glory of the Empire - Tulips Lead Us to Victory!"
"The Youngest Commander of the Empire!"
"Adults Lead Us to Defeat the Grassland Strong Enemy: An Oral Account of a Northwest Veteran"
"He Is the Hero in My Heart - A Confidante of the Duke in His Youth"
Let the Tulip Chariot crush all enemies!
"Under the banner of tulips, all enemies are paper tigers!"
~~
Of course, among several newspapers, a serialized article in the "Andy Express" founded by His Majesty the Emperor has always occupied the highest popularity~~
"From the perfect lover to the invincible commander!
This article recounts in detail some of the hidden events of the imperial hero Duke Tulip, including how the adult went out over the wall to have a private meeting with a beautiful lover when he was young, including how many confidantes the adult has, these are even more infuriating, and what is even more infuriating is that a love poem made by an adult to a certain confidante was also announced: Luo Shang is light, Si Jun dances! The sword is ruthless, and the beauty has no dreams!
In particular, the Duke is young, handsome, dazzling family background, heroic deeds and the single situation of not marrying a wife, not only is he an invincible commander on the battlefield, but those few love poems have made almost the entire imperial capital girls crazy An idol that perfectly combines the hero's courage and strength with the tenderness and romance of the perfect lover!
Every time Roddy went out, it was accompanied by countless girls screaming~~ Countless girly love letters were sent to the Tulip Duke's Mansion, and the flowers received by the Tulip Duke's Mansion every day almost exhausted the palace guards who were responsible for carrying them almost half to death~~ There are even thousands of girls who have formed their own "Tulip Red Pink Guard", vowing to always support the idol Duke in their hearts. Occasionally, a playboy in a certain aristocracy said two bad words about the duke out of jealousy in a certain Fengyue place, and was almost strangled to death by a group of "Tulip Red Pink Guards" without waiting for others to do it~~
What's even more terrifying is that when Roddy went out once, he was almost overwhelmed by some enthusiastic star chasers, he and more than a dozen pro-soldiers were surrounded by thousands of excited girls on the street, more than a dozen sturdy soldiers couldn't stop the enthusiasm of thousands of emotional girls, in the chaos, the Duke's coat was ripped off, if Ziggy hadn't heard the news and brought the wolf tooth army to the rescue in time, our Duke would probably have become the only Tulip Duke who ran naked on the streets of the imperial capital for hundreds of years since the founding of the empire~~
Of course, at the same time, Nicole's face after seeing this situation was not so kind~~
Roddy finally found the source of the crime - the newspaper, he read this article almost with a red face with anger, and finally saw the signature of this article, and almost drew his sword and entered the palace!
Because the signature under the article is: The ace writer of this newspaper, Andy.
