What is spreading the fastest in this world?

Not a disease, not a virus, but ...... Gossip.

Whether it's good news or bad news, it's as if it can spread spontaneously through the air, spreading much faster than one might think.

The news of the attack on the Kaspersky Line in the north, as if it had grown wings, soon spread to the interior of the empire, and in Dìdū, it became a topic of conversation.

Legend has it that an unknown group of enemies have emerged in the north of the empire, a new race, who are strong, fierce and brutal...... I heard that it has been fought with the Storm Legion?

This topic suddenly became a focus on the streets, everyone talked about these things, and at the end, most people would sigh: Fortunately, our powerful Storm Legion guards the frontier.

Indeed, in this era when there are no planes, no trains, no telephones, no advanced means of communication, the North ...... Even if it's just thousands of kilometers away, it's as if it's another world to people. Although everyone was a little scared about the appearance of this new monster enemy, people did not connect their safety with this matter in their hearts...... After all, that's what happened thousands of kilometers away, and it's still far, far away from you...... Isn't it?

In fact, the rumors show the ferocity and brutality of these monster enemies, but it is also said that the Storm Legion has won some victories in the battle against these monsters - worthy of the Storm Legion! Of course, those brave armies of the Empire. Even Warcraft can win, not to mention some monsters.

In fact. These news were deliberately circulated by the emperor [**].

Prince Chen deeply understands the truth of "boiling frogs in warm water...... This truth was talked to by Du Wei and him in the early years. Although the theory of "boiling frogs in warm water" has been proven by experiments. Frogs don't obediently get boiled to death in the water, they jump out. However, this theory still made Prince Chen agree with it.

To make everyone accept a big bad news. The best thing to do is not to drag it all at once.

It's about saying it little by little. Let everyone accept it little by little.

So. The current version of the land that has been retouched by the empire is that those monsters are powerful. But the army can deal with it. And it seems that it is far from being as serious as the Earth Demon Beast rage two years ago.

Most of the population accepted the news calmly. There was nothing to be frightened. The level is only about the same: when people scare children, they will say, "You will not be obedient again." Monsters are coming to eat you!" and so on.

The Temple of Light also reacted positively. Since the succession of the new Emperor Charles, the Church has been very silent on the side of the Bright Church. When this big event comes. Finally made some moves that pleased the royal family.

The latest news has been released in the Temple, a proclamation from His Majesty the Great and Honorable Pope. That kind of monster of the north. It is an evil heresy that rebels against the gods. However, there is a great god to bless the people of Roland. They will be destroyed! Because we are a people who believe in the gods, and the gods are on our side.

"I have to say. Religion is still useful when there is a land. ”

Emperor [**] in the Academy. Du Wei sat in his room—oh. The official name here should be "Dean's Office".

Du Wei leaned back in his chair, and in front of him were his confidant Zach Jr. and his younger brother Gabri.

Gabby has excelled in his college career over the past few months. He has been promoted, although he is still only a cadet. But he already has the rank of cavalry commander.

He had a copy of the military newspaper sent by the high command in his hand...... Unlike civilian sources, this military newspaper is a top-secret document. Above are the first few rìzi. The Storm Legion Search Team completes the process in the field with a skirmish with the Sin Folk Army. I report it truthfully without water!

Unlike civilian information, if this military report is disclosed. I'm afraid it's going to really cause panic! Because anyone who is smart can see it. This military report at least revealed that the enemy's combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the Empire's sharp......est army! They eat people!

Warcraft also eats people, but Warcraft has no intelligence. So it's not scary.

"The Church of Light is doing a good job this time. Du Wei smiled: "I hope they will continue to cooperate...... After all, it's also about their own survival. Now everyone is on the same boat. ”

Then Du Wei looked at little Zach: "You did a good job, spread the news." It's a good sense of proportion. ”

"Boss. But as soon as the north started. Our business has been hit hard. All the teams in the Frozen Forest have been recovered, and for a long time to come, our business income will be greatly reduced. ”

"We're not short of money right now. Du Wei smiled: "Wait for next month, I'm afraid our fleet will be able to send a new batch of revenue from the South Seas." As for Warcraft's business, let's focus on the Southern Swamp for the time being. Although the meat there is a little thinner, it is better than nothing. Let the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group go south. And I'll tell you something......"

"The first griffons have all hatched. I've got enough people in the manor a hundred miles outside the city, so far. Quite well, the first griffons managed to survive, but in terms of taming, there was no progress. After all, our animal trainers have no experience in taming griffins. ”

"The Decepticon Air Knights have already transferred two hundred reserves. I'll be reporting to your place in the next two days. Du Weizheng said: "I attach great importance to this matter, and this matter is also very important to us! So you should put most of your jīng efforts on this matter for the time being, and you must also do a good job of secrecy." Are the animal trainers we got reliable?"

"Reliable. Little Zach smiled: "That manor is now closed, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will, and there will be no news circulating." Moreover, Mr. Hussein is also sitting there. I'm sure no one can run out of the ground under his nose. ”

"Well, let's get the air knights reservist knights open

Start with the little griffins, tame with the young, and the knights with their mounts. ”

After Du Wei finished speaking. After explaining a few other things, he let little Zach leave.

"Brother. ”

After little Zach left, Gabry looked at Du Wei's expression, and seemed to be a little speechless.

After a few months of military camp career, Gabrie looked stronger, his skin was darker, but his waist was straight, and he already had a bit of a martial arts demeanor.

"What do you want to say?"

"Why keep it a secret?" Gabry wondered, "if the griffon could be the mount of the air cavalry...... Isn't it a bit bad that we don't report this matter to the Empire? I mean, this matter will always be disclosed in the future. Will the Empire think that we are deliberately concealing this important event?"

"I've handed over a lot of stuff. Du Wei sighed: "Northwest dúlì division, I handed it over." In recent years, large sums of gold were sprinkled to subsidize the imperial finances. There is also gunpowder, although I haven't handed over the formula, but now it's open to supply the emperor's [**] team...... We're running out of secret weapons, Gabry. In order to ensure the status of the family, we must have several weapons of mass killing. Gryphon troops. It has not yet taken shape and is still under construction. The reasons why I don't come up with it all at once are, first, I don't think it's good to disclose it now. I don't mind letting the royal family know, but ...... God knows how many churches there are in the palace! I'm just trying to keep this a secret from the church. As for the second ...... I also want to give our great regent a reminder that he knows. I, Du Wei, can keep coming up with some new tricks, keep creating miracles, and come up with new useful and valuable things! So that he can continue to value our family. If one day he feels that our family has been drained by him, there is no new use value...... Hmph, think about it. ”

"However, the Lord Regent seems to have a lot of trust in you. ”

"But...... He is not an emperor. Du Wei sighed.

He stood up himself, walked to the door, and slammed the door shut. Then he looked at his brother: "Gabry, I always have a hunch." This hunch. I can't say why, and I don't have much basis for it. But ......"

"What do you want to say, brother?"

"It's the Regent, and our new Charles. ”

Du Wei's face was very serious, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and shook his head vigorously: "I don't know how to say it, it's a very strange feeling." I have been in contact with this little Emperor Charles for a while, and I have been his teacher, and I always feel ...... This child, it seems, is not a wise monarch when he grows up!"

"What?" Gabby's guess about his brother was a little strange.

Now everyone in the empire is talking about Emperor Charles, and most of the people who have access to the royal family think that this little Charlie, although he is still very young, is very smart and wise, and he has already shown considerable wisdom at a young age.

"Do you remember the 'miracle' that I made in the square that day, and then the regent announced the death of the old emperor in public, and announced the scene of the succession?" Du Wei suddenly smiled.

He stared at his brother, "Gabry, before that day, our regent had quietly told him to calm down, that something big was going to happen, although I don't know what the regent said to his son. How much was said...... However, Charlie was so calm that day......! I was standing not far from him, and I could feel that he had a faint ...... Hungry!"

Du Wei waved his hand vigorously: "He is a very smart and precocious child. But think about it...... A child in his early teens longed for the throne so early...... It's not kind!"

"Children always have a child's temper. Gabriel smiled: "When I was young, when you were young, didn't you have a child's temper that liked to be in the limelight?"

"No, it's not a showy kid's temper. Du Wei sighed and carefully described his feelings: "That's the desire! The desire for status and power! I really doubt that such a kid, where did he get his ambition." Of course, ambition is a misnomer. But there's one more detail......"

Du Wei's expression seemed to change slightly, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "I told you, the old emperor died a few months ago......!" And then, I was Charlie's teacher in the palace for a long time! Of course, I don't know when little Charles found out about the old emperor's death...... Maybe I knew it a long time ago, or maybe I didn't know it until before the square was passed on that day. But ......"

Du Wei seemed to smile: "If a normal child, a ten-year-old child, hears that his grandfather has died, no matter how precocious and smart he is, from the point of view of conscience, he should at least show a trace of sadness, right? Even if Augustin VI is not very close to the regent, any grandfather will always be good to his grandson." But...... Whether it was when I got along with him a few months ago and was his teacher, or after the succession, I also went to the palace to meet him a few times...... This child has never revealed even the slightest memory of his grandfather. ”

When Du Wei said this, he himself sneered first: "Don't tell me anything about this kid's smart or something...... It's not a question of whether you're smart or not, it's whether you're kind or not! Speaking of being smart, that Princess Karina, in terms of talent, is smarter than Emperor Charles, and that little girl is really the only little genius I've ever seen. But...... I met the little girl twice later, and she showed a hint of grief at the loss of her grandfather. But His Majesty the Emperor Charles, still smiling as usual, should ride a horse, should play. ”

"Brother, what do you mean ......"

"I mean, our new Emperor...... Unkind!"
