As soon as he heard this, Du Wei's heart trembled!

Reinforcements?

The Roland Empire has 200,000 soldiers in the north! The Storm Legion is among the four main battle legions of the Empire, and it is outstanding among the Empire's armies in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness...... In fact, there is another important role, that is, military training!

Only in that difficult environment can strong soldiers be honed.

It's not like Du Wei hasn't seen the Stormstorm Legion. When he was first brought into the frozen forest by the white-robed Gandov, he once saw the soldiers of the Storm Legion at the sentry post outside the forest, standing in the snow with their upper bodies on, grabbing the snow and scrubbing their bodies......

That kind of scene once left a deep impression on Du Wei.

On the way out of the frozen forest to the south, this General Andre personally led the cavalry to find him, and the mighty lineup was indeed a first-class strong soldier in the empire!

Such a mighty Storm Legion...... Actually......

Asking for reinforcements?

"North, what kind of mess is going on?" Du Wei said in a deep voice: "With the strength of the Storm Legion, it can't be suppress......ed?" Frozen Forest. What's ......"

General Andrew's face changed. Shaking his head, he said, "Lord Duke." Sorry. I have no right to tell you these things. I had to report these situations directly to the High Command. If possible, I will be able to present it to His Royal Highness the Regent......"

Du Wei was anxious. But his eyes rolled. smiled. Unhurriedly, he picked up the kettle on the table. Poured a glass of water for General Andrea. Laughing: "General Andrea." Of course I understand military discipline. After all, I was also born into the Rollin family. Feel relieved. I'm not going to embarrass you. Merely...... The stakes are high, not just for your Stormwind Legion. My trip is also back to dìdū. I think. There are some things I might be able to help with. ”

Andre was about to say something. But I heard a gentle voice behind me laughing: "General Andreu." Our Duke has absolutely no intention of spying on military aircraft, not to mention. With the current status of our Lord Duke, such an important matter. The regent will inevitably also consult with the duke. Speaking of which. After all, you are in the outer army, and you don't know much about the environment. Something. You can't expect to be purely businesslike, and if the Duke had helped, things would have been much easier. ”

As soon as Andre turned around, he saw Rodriguez standing behind him. His face changed. And the cavalry around him were all gods, and suddenly became fierce. It turned out that Rodriguez had quietly come behind him. So many people, but none of them noticed.

Andre took a deep breath. Said slowly: "It turned out to be Your Excellency the 'Silver Sky Sword Saint'! Have you already voted for Duke Tulip?"

Du Wei was stunned for a moment: "Yinxiao Sword Saint?"

Rodriguez smiled bitterly: "This weird nickname. I don't know who got the ground for me. ”

It turned out that at the time of the coup d'état, Rodriguez was powerful with the Holy Terrace. After killing the chief warrior of the palace, the frost and the cold light were all over the place. Together with Rodriguez holding the beauty under the moon. The posture of looking at the world. The wind has spread to the mainland.

The strength of his Earth Saint Rank is naturally worthy of the title of "Sword Saint", and "Yinxiao" only alludes to the gorgeous appearance of his frost fighting spirit.

Rodriguez turned to the table, stood beside Du Weidi, and said with a smile: "General Andre, it's been a long time, speaking of which." You're better than the last time we met. I'm going to be a lot tired. After a pause, he smiled again: "But your cultivation has increased by another layer." The last time we met, you were still a level 6 knight, right?"

At this moment, the knight's badge on General Andre's chest has become level seven.

Andre snorted, but said dejectedly: "I can only make a breakthrough if I can get the guidance of your Yinxiao Sword Saint." ”

Hearing this, the two seemed to know each other. And. I'm afraid I have done it.

Du Wei glanced at Rodriguez. Rodriguez laughed and said, "Lord Duke, do you remember that I went to the frozen forest of the north after that coup d'état? I once encountered the patrol cavalry of the Storm Legion, and it was also a coincidence that it was General Andre who led the team that time. General Andre tried to stop me from entering the forest, but I didn't listen......"

Andre snorted angrily: "You don't have to be so polite, I was the one who tried to stop you at the beginning, but it was not your opponent, and you were defeated in a few hits." You are a saint-level martial artist, invincible in the continent, I am a small sixth-level knight, and there are only a few hundred cavalry around me, so I will definitely not be able to stop you. You're still polite, you didn't hurt my people, and I already miss you very much. ”

Du Wei nodded, and then listened to Rodriguez: "General Andre, I am here for your good." Speaking of which, I still have some sincere respect for the soldiers of the Storm Legion, you have really suffered a lot for the Empire, and everyone in the Storm Legion is good. I'll tell you......"

He glanced at Du Wei, who immediately understood and nodded slightly.

Rodriguez looked solemn and continued: "General Andrea, you are not in dìdū and do not know the current situation in the Empire. I won't ask you what happened in the north, just that you asked for reinforcements...... But reinforcements, where is it so simple? You probably don't know, with the current situation of the empire, it is extremely difficult to ask zhōngyāng to send reinforcements!"

Andre's eyes glared: "But the situation in the north!"

Rodriguez interrupted him and said, "There is something in the north, but is it too peaceful in other places? If nothing else, let's talk about the northwest! You also know what happened in the northwest last year? 20,000 cavalry besieged the city of Gilliat

To tell the truth, at that time, our province suffered some losses?

Andre nodded: "I know this. It was written in the military's monthly newspaper. ”

Rodriguez smiled: "But, it says that the Northwest Army repelled the steppe people, right? Hmph, although you are not in dìdū, what is the situation of the Northwest Army." Don't you know?"

Andre's face changed, and suddenly a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

"The situation at that time was actually that the Northwest Army colluded with the grassland people and let the grassland people enter the customs. And the guys of the Northwest Army, under the pretext of chūn Ji cāo performance, besieged our capital with tens of thousands of troops, and cut off our news. If it weren't for the cleverness and wit of our Duke Tulip. Clever strategy. If we break that situation, I am afraid that we will have lost that battle long ago! The wolf ambitions of the Northwest Army, and the people of the steppe are also stupid! At this time, the situation in the Northwest is already very bad, and we have not seen a single soldier in such a situation! If you want reinforcements, we still want reinforcements in the Northwest! But reinforcements. Where did it come from?"

Rodriguez asked one last question. Left the General Andre speechless.

"The Empire's main battle legion. The Northwest Army will not mention it. has become a warlord in the separatist territory, and it is already rare that they do not rebel. But where else could you count on? That legion in the South, thousands of miles away from the swamps of the South, and, to tell the truth, since the establishment of the Empire's navy. The navy is expanded every time. All of them were drawn from the Southern Corps. It's just because the southerners are good at water. The northerners are not good at water. During the reign of His Majesty the Emperor today, how many times has the navy been expanded, and how many soldiers have been taken away from the Southern Army? The imperial expenses continued, and the recruitment of the Southern Army has been delayed. How much of the combat strength of the current Southern Army can still be achieved? In my opinion, there is probably only one empty shelf left!"

Andre was silent for a long time before he sighed: "When it comes to military spending, who is not like this! Even our Storm Legion, this military budget arrears are getting worse and worse year by year! We are forced to look for money everywhere with the generals!"

Du Wei suddenly remembered that the gold cave outside Dìdū was not the background of the military and was used to raise military expenses?

"That's it, the Southern Army doesn't need to count on it, do you count on the Wangcheng Guards Legion?" Rodriguez smiled and said: "The coup d'état the year before last, the second division of Wangcheng was completely purged! A full 20,000 jīng sharp, not a single one remained! Although the reserve army was later recruited to be reinforced, I don't think I need to say how much combat strength the recruits can have." What's more, dìdū is located in the middle of the continent, how far is it from the territory of the Northwest Army? Hmph, if it is a fast horse and a rapid march, I am afraid that it will only take a few days to be able to deploy troops under the city gate! In such a situation, how can the regent transfer the royal city guards to you to use? Once the dìdū army is drawn too much, it is difficult to ensure that Lu Gao in the northwest region has no thought in his heart! But besides, where else is there a field army in the empire? As for those local garrisons...... General Andrew, let's put aside the combat effectiveness of the local garrisons, but in the past thousand years of the empire, have there been still few private armies on the territory of those wealthy nobles? Once the local garrisons are too large, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no careerists to take advantage of the opportunity! At that time, it will be the state of continental melee that was the same as when the Augustinian Dynasty was established two hundred years ago!

When Du Wei heard this, he couldn't help but admire in his heart...... This Rodriguez seems to be not only powerful in martial arts, but also has such a great knowledge and mouth!

"So, this call for reinforcements ......," Andre's face was suddenly full of worry.

"So I said, there are some things that don't go straight to the point. You're not in dìdū and don't know what dìdū is like. Our Duke Tulip is currently the most trusted minister of the Imperial Regent, and there are many things that only he can influence the decision of the Regent! To say a word of unkindness, even if the Prime Minister of the current place says ten words, he may not be worthy of a single sentence from our Duke. If you go back to Dìdū for military affairs this time, you might as well talk to the Duke first and see if he can help you...... Besides, this is not a leak of military aircraft, as long as the Duke returns to Dìdū and you report something to the military department, within a day, the regent will tell us all about the Duke. ”

Andre weighed it in his heart, first, this place is indeed not an extremely confidential military business, anyway, when it comes to dìdū, the news will always spread.

Second, this Duke Tulip has indeed been extremely powerful in the past two years, and he is in the north, so he has heard of his reputation, and he personally picked up the little boy in the frozen forest, as if he is now an important minister above 10,000 people under one person. Many people even bet that this young duke, before the age of twenty-five, would become the youngest prime minister in the history of the empire! (the current prime minister is an old man from the time of Augustine VI, although the regent did not touch him, but everyone knows that he has been set aside).

If there is such a big man who can help him speak, maybe this time it will be ......

General Andre sighed, his eyes full of worry, and finally slapped the table, and then shouted: "Send a few brothers to guard the surroundings, do not allow idle people to approach, and clean up the hall for me!"

Immediately ten horsemen stood up, drove the innkeeper and the attendants to the rear, and carefully inspected the lobby, leaving a few men to guard outside.

After doing all this, General Andre gritted his teeth: "Lord Duke, just six days ago, you must have felt the abnormal movement of the earth's vibrations, right?"

Six days ago, Du Wei calculated that it was the rìzi that Bai Hechou and the Pope faced off against each other at Lengquan Pass!

Then André dipped his finger in the water and drew a pattern on the table......
