When her father handed over all the court magicians to herself, Karina was really shocked!

Court Mage...... This is one of the oldest and most mysterious forces guarding the royal family!

According to the practice of the imperial family, court magicians have always been directly under the command of the emperor! Even occasionally, when the emperor is old, he will ask the magician to obey the younger prince instead, but most of the young princes who are appointed to lead the court magicians are regarded as the heirs to the throne!

Giving such an important force to a princess is really an unprecedented feat in the thousands of years since the founding of the Roland Empire!!

Because, according to tradition, although the princess is a royal family, after all, women have to marry, so in general, they are also regarded as "outsiders".

Karina instantly understood her father's intentions.

Such a trust, of course, has the intention of compensating oneself. But in addition, there is also the intention of strengthening oneself!

After all, since he has given himself such a heavy burden, in order to effectively assist his brother Charlie in the future, if he has no power at all, just an empty and powerless princess, it is far from enough.

But if there is a team of powerful magicians in his hands, who swear allegiance to him to the death and obey his command alone, then ...... It's a big difference!

A gallop with a supreme order from Emperor Dìdū's [**] department was sent to the eastern fortress of the Northern Front.

This once-fallen fortress has been restored to its former size after several months of intensive repairs.

The courier sent the order to the commander's palace in the fortress. Present the order from Dìdū to the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Front, Lord Duke Tulip.

Du Wei ...... The Duke had hurried back a few days ago. This time, Du Wei left in secret. Set off with the griffin knight. But halfway through, the griffon knight came back on his own. Duke Tulip has left the front, and this news has been kept strictly secret.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the Duke finally returned, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But...... It seems that everyone feels it. Lord Duke, it seems that there is something ...... It's different!

The first difference is...... Everyone clearly felt that the Duke had become much more silent, and he seemed to be less talkative, and had become serious and silent.

When he returned, the Duke had two women and a man with him, and the two women and a man. No one knows what his identity is, after entering the commander's palace with the duke. He never showed up again.

But. According to the information that circulated in private, a certain officer from Dìdū recognized it.

One of the young girls who had returned with the Duke was one of two women and one man. It's the female samurai who once made a big splash in the "No. 1 Martial Arts Conference in the World" in Dìdū Riedi!

But. The news could not be confirmed.

The second difference is that the Duke seems to be suffering from some strange disease...... I don't dare to spread this nonsense, but from the news in the commander's mansion, 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 lock himself in his room. Talk to oneself.

And. I don't know if it's an adult who has some strange disease. When he was talking to himself alone, he suddenly became calm and excited.

He will even yell and quarrel with himself.

It's like...... jīng God split?

Well. That is true. However, no one dares to say these things out.

There was a servant in the commander's house. I once accidentally heard Du Wei talking to himself in the yard holding a big tree, sometimes whispering, sometimes shouting, and the words he said were also very strange.

"Ares, you coward!

"Artemis, you are blinded by hatred. ”

"Two gods, stop arguing, I'm really about to collapse......"

It was strange to talk to himself, as if Duke Tulip had split into three different personalities, and often he could quarrel with himself all day.

In the end, Du Wei had no choice but to send all the servants who took care of him in his own mansion, leaving only his loyal old butler Madeh to serve him personally.

The third difference: the Duke is not very sick, and it seems that there is a big problem with his health. Because he began to be on any occasion, and suddenly without warning...... Faint!

Since he came back, this kind of thing has happened three times, the first time was at a military meeting, and the result was that a group of generals were almost scared to death, and quickly called the medical officer to rescue him, but he couldn't find out anything wrong, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the adults suddenly woke up.

When the adults woke up, the first thing they said was, "Please, can you stop fighting in my head!"

The fourth difference: adults seem to have intermittent ...... Go bananas!

That's the scariest thing!

No one knew how strong Du Wei's strength was before, everyone knew that the strength of this young duke was very high, how high was it?

No one can tell.

However, this time, everyone finally has a more intuitive understanding:

The day after Du Wei returned, he personally went to inspect the restoration of a section of the wall to the north. After a month of hard work by craftsmen, the 50-meter-long section of the wall has been completely restored. The degree of robustness has also been tested. Meets the standards of Imperial military law.

Outcome...... That day, accompanied by dozens of generals. There were also thousands of soldiers around. Thousands of laborers. It stands to reason. The Duke should give a few demoralizing speeches...... As a result, Du Wei suddenly hugged his head and went crazy! He seemed to be in great pain, suddenly. Inexplicably, he yelled loudly: "Why are you fighting again!!!"

The people who said this sentence were at a loss. But looking at the adults as if they were holding their heads in pain. I'm going to come up and rescue him soon.

But. After taking two steps, no one caught up to touch Du Wei!

Just because. In the midst of pain, Du Wei. Inadvertently, he slapped on the newly built city wall next to him!

Outcome...... In full view. It was fifty meters long. The city wall was built in full accordance with the first-class standards of the Emperor's Law. He slapped him on the face. Suddenly it collapsed!

Everyone saw it clearly, and the Duke was under the palm of his hand. It was as if a light was forced into the city walls, and then. This fifty-meter-long city wall was roaring. Turned into rubble!!

It was really shattered! Later, when people cleaned up the rubble. Searched for a long time. The biggest stone found was only the size of a fist - hell.

The walls are made of huge stones in the shape of a place!!

So. Once the Duke went mad. The first thing everyone does is to run away! If you accidentally get slapped by an adult. Hmph, think about what that section of the wall has become!!

I have to say. Du Weidi behaved strangely. It has also caused a great deal of turmoil in the hearts of the military.

The coach is suffering from a strange illness. If you can't stay awake all the time, there will be big problems in the command of the army.

Fortunately. This time. The battle has stabilized. On the north bank of the river, the enemy had no intention of attacking on a large scale.

And Dewey is after he is sober. The order was also given immediately. Generally military affairs. It is up to several division commanders to decide, except for major military matters. You don't have to report yourself.

But. Everyone is wondering:

Our Lord Duke Tulip. He...... What's going on?!

When the messenger of the military department sent the order of the military department to the place of the general. The supreme order of the military headquarters.

The general did not dare to make a decision easily, so he could only report to Du Wei.

Fortunately. Du Wei seemed to be quite conscious. He personally met with the messenger and read the military order of the dìdū land.

The military order is simple: order all the armies in the theater of operations. From the moment the order was received, all were stationed on the spot. It is not allowed to move without authorization! It is not allowed to leave one's own defense zone! If there is a transfer of more than 1,000 people from one place outside one's own defense area. It must be reported to the military department!

Otherwise, it will be punished as treason!

Take a look at this command. Du Wei was stunned. The generals around him. It seemed obvious from the duke's eyes. Saw a hint of ...... Sad?!

That's right. Indeed, the land is sorrowful!

That same evening. Du Wei stood alone in the courtyard, facing south. Holding a bottle of wine in his hand. Silence, just a small bite, a small bite. Drink it all night!

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that Du Wei suddenly dropped the bottle on the ground, and then he sighed.

"Go all the way!"

On that day, Du Wei was in the north, drinking all night. At dawn sighing times.

In dìdū...... Above the city walls. That one by one, the flags of the golden sè thorn flowers. It was lowered slowly. Subsequently. In the imperial city of dìdū. And above the various gates of the city wall, one by one, the special black sè thorn flower flags were raised!

And it was also early in the morning of this day.

Countless jīng sharp knights. He changed into a heavy black sè outfit. With a black sè fief urgent official letter. Coming out of the gates of the dìdū and galloping out towards the mainland, their mission. It will be this sad news. Delivered to all parties on the mainland.

Empire 966 years, late autumn.

Winter is coming.

A letter of mourning from dìdū that spread across the continent.

The actual ruler of the empire, the regent of the empire, Chen Augustine, died of illness in the imperial city at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve!

The young regent reigned for more than five years, from the time he ascended the throne after the coup d'état in 961 until his death.

Although he was never crowned emperor in his lifetime, there was even a debate in later generations about the reasons why he voluntarily renounced the throne and was willing to become regent. But it is undeniable that this regent, who reigned for five years, was admitted by everyone that during his reign he was in fact the real king of the continent.

And after his death, the specifications of the funeral venue were also carried out according to the standards of the emperor.

On top of the "General History of the Continent", which was revised many years later, the biography of the only regent in the history of the empire was also compiled into the emperor's biography.

He doesn't wait to be crowned, but in people's hearts, he is an emperor!
