The sun shone on the main hall, and finally the sunny weather swept away the cold and cháo humidity in the palace, which had been wet for a winter.

This ancient hall, the largest of the many majestic buildings in the imperial city, shines in the sun, and it was here that the great founding emperor Aragorn announced his credentials, proclaimed the founding of the country, and accepted the submission and cheers of hundreds of warriors thousands of years ago.

Although it has gone through thousands of years, countless generations of emperors have spent a lot of money to repeatedly repair and expand this hall, and in this generation, this ancient building is not only decaying, but more and more splendid.

On both sides, dozens of huge round columns that can only be surrounded by a few people are carved with delicate and gorgeous reliefs, and on the reliefs, all of them are legendary heroes in the founding war. The huge brazier burns with flames that never go out all year round, and the gold-armored warriors standing under the corridor are also the strongest warriors carefully selected from the Royal Forest Army, wearing the most good armor and holding long axes, standing in rows.

This place, which symbolizes the core authority of the imperial power, is where the emperor has always convened important ministers and nobles to discuss and make decisions whenever the empire is about to decide on major national policies.

And today, after a winter's subjugation, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has gathered many ministers here to discuss the war on the front.

The main door of the main hall was closed, and at this time, a court attendant bent down the corridor and ran down the corridor with a rapid broken step, and when he ran, although he maintained a bent posture, his buttocks pouted slightly. This gesture was a bit funny, but none of the samurai standing around him dared to laugh, and none of them even came up to stop them.

Just because. This court attendant, with boots under his feet, ran in a hurry, but in his hands he held a bright red sè roll high in his hands, held high above his head, and the red sè on the roll was bright. It's as if it's dyed with blood.

According to the usual practice, if this kind of urgent war report is conveyed to the palace, no one can stop it for a moment, even if it is the middle of the night, this kind of war report must be directly handed over to the hands of the emperor! This is also the iron law laid down by the founding emperor Aragon.

Although for thousands of years. The level of the emperors was uneven, and there were always some mediocre monarchs in power, and it was inevitable that government affairs would be abandoned, and some people gradually did not follow these iron laws. But now the reigning regent is a diligent man, and during his reign, these iron rules are strictly enforced!

The waiter pouted and ran to the door of the main hall, glanced at the surrounding golden-armored warriors, standing outside the temple door, Shen Sè was a little nervous, but opened his throat. shouted loudly: "Front-line emergency battle report !!"

His voice was full of anger, and he immediately transmitted his voice to the main hall.

Sure enough, a moment later, the door of the main hall opened, and the two palace officials came out with calm faces, but they didn't blame them at all, just a serious face, and solemnly took the red sè roll. I ran in as fast as I could.

In the main hall, the regent sat high on the throne, and on both sides below, there were the young military minister of the empire, Cammisiro, and some high-ranking generals of the army. Chancellor of the Exchequer. and many high-ranking officials of the Imperial Treasury and Minister of Ceremonies. There are also seven or eight high-powered imperial power figures, and one of them is a fat man, but it is the Delan Mountain Demonic Beast.

This Delan Mountain Demon Beast was talking loudly with a red face, and was interrupted at this time, but he didn't dare to say anything, seeing that the palace official solemnly handed over a red sè roll to the hands of the regent, he quickly paused his plan about the logistics materials in the front-line theater just now, and stood there, peeking at the regent.

Prince Chen sat on it, his face was calm, he took the scroll, the seal paint on it was intact, opened it, took out a parchment roll inside, unfolded it and looked at it twice, many people below stared at the regent, trying to see any clues from the face of this king, but after the regent saw it, the god did not change at all, even the muscles in the corners of his eyes did not change for half a minute, he just nodded, handed the scroll to the attendant to put it away, and then his eyes fell on the body of the demonic beast of Delan Mountain again, and Wen Yan said: " Well, you go on, what's going on with the next season's material transfer?" The Delan Mountain Demon Beast seemed to be a little stunned, and then immediately reacted, coughing twice, before continuing to shake its fat and huge head, and said loudly in an urn voice: "Yes...... Uh, what I just said about the issue of transportation, at present, it seems that the supply of grain, grass and weapons is quite sufficient, but I have been in the north for a month, but I know that the front line of the armor-piercing heavy arrows consumes a lot, and the inventory of the preliminary preparation is almost bottoming out, and the military quartermaster, I have urged twice, but the workshop in the rear is still stepping up production, Your Highness, a batch has been produced in the workshop under my family, although the quantity is still a little insufficient, but it can also meet the urgent situation, it is in terms of transportation, I asked the Minister of War, Lord Cammisiro, now the capacity is at full capacity, I mean, simply from the naval allocation of the ground fleet, free up a batch, specifically to transport this batch of armor-piercing arrows, other materials, anyway, if you are not in a hurry, you can drag it out......"

The Delan Mountain Demon Beast shook his head and finished his words - in fact, he was originally just a wealthy merchant family, and he was not familiar with these state affairs, but in recent years, with the regent in power, he can also be regarded as the prince of the regent, and he is naturally the prince of the regent, and gradually becomes noble, and now he has an official position, which can be regarded as officially changing from a businessman to an important minister of the empire, and appointing him to serve as a military logistics officer in the front-line theater, and he has also spent a lot of thought. As for these words, they were not something that this Delan Mountain Demonic Beast could say, but he memorized them at home last night after letting the staff draft them.

Although he was interrupted just now, he forgot some for a while, but fortunately, he thought about it, and the more he spoke, the more fluent he became, and he was a little proud in his heart, thinking: In the past, others regarded me as only a rich businessman, but now I am also an important minister of the empire, and I must always impress them.

It's just that. The demonic beast of Delan Mountain shook his head as he spoke, but he didn't notice that the prince of Chen, who was sitting upright, had the same face as usual. But that look seems to be not as monographed as just now, and what the following Delan Mountain Demon Beast said, Prince Chen has roughly listened to seventy or eighty percent, and the rest of his mind has already turned to the battle report on the front line that he saw just now.

Finally. The fat man said that he was foaming at the mouth, and after saying something, he also looked at the Tao, and Prince Chen nodded, and he didn't mean anything appreciative or praised, so he said lightly: "Well, I know." You discuss this matter with Camiciro, and then do it. ”

The Delan Mountain Demonic Beast couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and he had done a lot of homework to get such a thing. I just wanted to show my ability, but I only got such a fluttering sentence from the regent, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit behind in my heart.

Fortunately, Prince Chen is such a smart person, when he saw the fat man's face, he understood the reason, smiled lightly, and added: "You fat man, this matter is really a bit like an imperial minister, it seems that it is right to give you this official position." Let's do it!"

This sentence of encouragement made the face of the Delan Mountain Demon Beast smile a little more.

Then, Prince Chen coughed: "I received the battle report from the front line just now, and those barbarian races really launched an offensive at the opening of Chūn, and the momentum was very violent, but General Rostock's battle report said that the enemy's offensive had been successfully repulsed, and the front-line soldiers fought bloodily. The barbarian races have suffered a lot. ”

When these words came out, the people below who were still speculating about the battle report in their hearts were all relieved.

"But ......" The regent suddenly smiled lightly, and this smile added three points of strangeness: "There is also an interesting thing in this military newspaper...... This time to repel the enemy's offensive, one of the top achievements. But he is not a soldier of the Stormwind Legion. It's not the mages and the Holy Knights who help in the war, but the ......"

Speaking of which. Prince Chen deliberately paused and looked at the faces of everyone below, before continuing: "It's a Saint-level powerhouse!"

Holy Order powerhouse?!

As soon as these words came out, many people were surprised.

On the mainland, the now well-known Saint-level powerhouse is that Rodriguez. Maybe most people don't know, but now everyone in this hall is the powerful of the empire, and many people know that Rodriguez is Du Weidi's subordinate.

"It's not the Silver Sword Master. Prince Chen smiled: "It seems that our empire has a new saint-level powerhouse." Interestingly, this Holy Rank powerhouse is also a knight of the family under the command of our Duke Tulip...... The name is also strange, but it is the same name as Hussein, who defected to the church and was wanted by the mainland. ”

Hussein?

Under the command of Duke Tulip, a Holy Order powerhouse "also" named Hussein??

When these words were spoken, the tone of the person who said it was strange, and the person who listened to it also had a suspicious expression, and for a while, the hall fell into silence!

Hussein, the former Holy Knight who defected to the Church, is dead-this is clearly written in black and white in the announcement issued by His Majesty the Pope of the Continent's Temple of Light!

It didn't take long for a family knight under the command of the Tulip family to emerge, with strong strength, also called Hussein?

Everyone is not a fool, and the deep meaning can be guessed a few points.

Merely...... This matter is faintly related to the church, which is difficult to say. What's more...... It also has something to do with Du Wei!

If it was going to rì, it would be fine, but now, because some time ago, Duke Tulip and the royal family only saw the matter of the top cow, and the dust has not yet settled, and now no one knows what kind of attitude the regent has towards Duke Tulip in his heart.

Therefore, this kind of thing, for a while, everyone in the hall was silent, and they didn't dare to rashly express any opinions.

Prince Chen sat on it, looking at the people below with cold eyes, how could he not know what everyone was thinking? After a deep sigh, the regent said lightly: "It is always a good thing that a new saint-rank powerhouse has appeared on the mainland, which shows that the people of the empire are still martial arts...... It's a coincidence that he has the same name as the traitor of that temple. Hmph, Hussein...... If the people named Hussein on the mainland are tracked down one by one, I am afraid that there will only be seven or eight thousand. There are many people with the same name and xìng in this world, and there is no need to be surprised. ”

When Prince Chen said this, it can be regarded as an expression of attitude. The people below breathed a sigh of relief, and they came up one by one. expressed their agreement, and some people even made a big fuss, saying that under the wise leadership of the regent, they vigorously advocated the martial style of the empire. This has led to the emergence of more powerful warriors among the people.

This kind of, naturally, no one will believe it, but above the officialdom, this kind of flowery talk is also indispensable, for a while. The scene that had been silent just now was lively.

After listening to it for a while, Prince Chen thought about it in his heart, and then spoke: "Since it is a knight under the command of Duke Tulip to help in the war, it can be regarded as a righteous act to contribute to the country, and he can't help but be rewarded for his great achievements, huh...... It's just that this Hussein is under Du Weidi, but it's not good to directly seal him to the military...... Guys, do you have any good suggestions?"

This question. But no one answered.

After a moment of silence, many people turned their eyes to the Chancellor of the Exchequer - because Du Wei's previous relationship with the royal family was a little stiff, and there was a faint smell of chaos. As a result, a group of powerful people who were originally enthusiastic about Du Wei in Dìdū couldn't hide at this moment, where did they dare to stand openly with Du Wei?

In this hall, when it comes to rewarding Du Weidi's knights, no one dares to stand up and say good things - of course, no one will rush to say bad things. After all, Du Wei has not fallen yet, and the attitude of the regent is not clear, and no one wants to offend people rashly.

It's just that, since it is under the command of Du Wei, then the only one in this hall who has been deeply branded as a "Tulip Duke Family" is who else is besides the Chancellor of the Exchequer? Who told you to marry your granddaughter to Du Wei's younger brother? Even if you are not a tulip party, you are a tulip party!

This kind of thing to say good things for Du Wei...... Go for it!

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was also a little embarrassed. The old man is a selfless man who is dedicated to the country, he understands the meaning of everyone's eyes, he is open in his heart, and he is not afraid of what people think, let alone the suspicion of the regent. It's just that...... He is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It's not appropriate to open your mouth for this reward for military merits.

Coughed. raised his eyes and looked at the Minister of War Cammisiro, but saw that the old god Camiciro was there, squinting his eyes, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer saw it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: This kid is young, but he has learned the appearance of the old prime minister very well, hum, he is also a cunning little thing. In the past, he and Du Wei were brothers, but now they are pretending to be ostriches.

At this time, when things involve Du Wei, it has become a little unfathomable, and everyone's eyes are staring at the old man of the Chancellor, which also makes the old man a little anxious, and finally he can't bear it anymore, coughs, and says, "This...... Your Highness, I think that since he is a retainer of Duke Tulip, it is not good for the state to appoint public office, which is just right...... Now in the front-line theater, the mercenaries recruited from all over the continent have become an army of their own, and they are not considered to be the official army of the empire, so I think it is better to appoint this Knight Hussein as the leader of the mercenaries, and then ...... Since he is a saint-level powerhouse, he is naturally a person who is beyond the world, and the reward of gold coins and property is disdainful of this kind of powerhouse. So, I mean...... In terms of merit, it is enough to award medals and honorary titles. ”

Prince Chen smiled and said, "This suggestion is very good. Awarded to His Excellency the Knight Hussein...... Well, the Imperial Silver Medal of Courage, plus another ...... The title of the Protector of the Nation. Well, since he is a saint-level powerhouse, then he also deserves the title of saint. Furthermore...... According to what you said, let the mercenary lead the mercenary as well...... Uh, by the way, General Longbottom of the Tulip Family has been seconded to the front line as the commander of the mercenary army, that, this Hussein can be regarded as the deputy commander. ”

After a pause, Prince Chen said again: "There are still ...... There was a report on the front line before, and those mercenaries engaged in an airborne operation behind enemy lines, and they also made meritorious contributions, and this time they were rewarded together. Your Finance Department will discuss with the military affairs department and reward the bounty according to the military merits...... In addition, the mercenary, let's also give a name, otherwise, it will be a mercenary mercenary place, and it won't sound good. ”

Prince Chen thought about it sideways, and said, "I think of a name...... Let's call it the Wolf Tooth, this mercenary will be renamed the Wolf Tooth Army in the future. ”

He is the regent, the lord of the empire, and who would object to this open?

The matter is so decided.

Hussein became the deputy commander of the "Wolf Tooth Army" personally rewarded by the regent of the empire. He was awarded the Imperial Silver Medal of Courage and the title of "Protector of the Nation". Come, in less than half a day, Du Wei, who was hiding in the Duke Tulip's mansion, received the news.

"Wolf Tooth Army?" Du Wei laughed. Clapped his palms: "A good name, as sharp as a canine wolf's sharp teeth." ”

Qiao Qiao next to him had a worried face: "What are you laughing at? You sent Hussein to the north, and the whole continent knew about this move." Don't forget that he's a traitor to the church, what if the church gets into trouble?"

"Looking for trouble, who is looking for trouble?" Du Wei snorted, his face disdainful: "His Majesty the Pope's golden mouth." It has been announced in black and white: The traitor Hussein is dead! He is the Pope, the leader of the god of the empire, and he says that if he is dead, he is dead! Now Hussein is just a person who happens to have the same name and surname as the traitor, is it true that in this world, the same name and surname are also guilty? Hehe...... That means that what His Majesty the Pope said doesn't count? Ordinary people don't count, who is he? Pope, the leader of the continent, should he let himself be beaten in the mouth?

Although he is quibbling, when he speaks, he has a reasonable tone. looked shameless to the end, and Qiao Qiao next to him couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it.

After laughing for a while, Qiao Qiao was puzzled: "Du Wei, you sent Hussein to the front line to fight, if you are worried that there are strong people among those orcs to participate in the battle, the front line will not be able to withstand it, it is quite reasonable." It's just that sending Hussein is better than sending Rodriguez, or...... It would be nice to let me go north for a while. ”

Speaking of which. Qiao Qiao's tone was a little empty-hearted, and she secretly glanced at Du Wei, but saw Du Wei looking at herself with a smile on his face, so she simply felt a smile in her heart, and said rudely: "What's the matter! I'm suffocated to death in dìdū, and it's better to go to the front line to fight and kill than to be bored in this courtyard all day." ”

Du Wei shook his head: "It's not time, it's not time." Look at it. In the future, we will go to the front line. ”

Qiao Qiao was a little discouraged at this time, and continued: "No matter what, you don't send others, but let Hussein show his face openly, it's always troublesome. ”

Du Wei was disdainful: "Trouble? I'm afraid that the church will trouble me? The church has long known that Hussein is alive." The Pope's announcement was a private compromise with me. Now...... I'm afraid the church will get me in trouble? Anyway, even if Hussein doesn't show up in public. The church will let me go? huh...... And ......"

Speaking of which, Du Wei's god sè is finally a little more serious. glanced at Qiao Qiao, his voice softened a little, and he said in a low voice: "Qiao Qiao...... You, me, and Vivian, the three of us are together, and naturally we have a good relationship, and we are also gentle. However, there is a saying that a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry, hehe, your little rì is living happily, but don't forget, Hussein is still a single. It would be fine if he fell in love with an ordinary girl, but his lover was a princess of the empire. If you want to marry the princess of the empire, a black household with no identity will definitely not work. Even if we are willing, the regent will not, even if the regent is willing...... The rules of the royal family will never be tolerated. Besides, that Princess Louise is not too young, and the marriage has probably been put on the agenda a long time ago, if we don't hurry up, once the royal family arranges a marriage for her, it will be troublesome. ”

Sighing, looking at Qiao Qiao, whose face was crimson, Du Wei stretched out his finger, lightly touched the tip of Qiao Qiao's nose, and smiled: "I just want Hussein to show his face in public and show his face! Then make meritorious contributions openly and honestly, and let the mainland know his fame! Now it's okay, he is no longer a black household, but a dignified deputy commander of the Wolf Tooth Army, a winner of the Imperial Silver Medal of Courage, and an Imperial Protector Sage. From now on, he is no longer a black household, but an upright person of imperial merit!"

Smiling, Du Wei patted his thigh, and said slowly: "Now, this identity is clear, and the glory is there, just to match the princess, it seems that there is still a little bit of confidence, but it doesn't matter, as long as Hussein makes some more contributions on the front line, and the halo on his head is brighter, he will have a glorious enough identity, and at a certain time, he will propose to the royal family to marry the princess, it will be almost the same." ”

Speaking of which. A hint of awe flashed in Du Wei's eyes, his tone turned cold, and he said coldly: "As for the temple making trouble for me...... When are those godheads not bothering me? Besides...... Hussein is like a brother to me! for his happiness...... I'll make the temple a little more jealous. It's nothing!!!The temple has long wanted to kill me a hundred times now, and now even if it hates me even more, wants to kill me two hundred times, three hundred times, it doesn't make a difference. ”

The empire produced another Saint-rank powerhouse, and the news immediately spread to the Roland Continent along with the chūn branch. Not to mention. The saint-rank powerhouse on the continent was originally an almost legendary existence, although that Rodriguez was a saint-level, but after all, everyone knew that this Yinxiao Sword Saint had participated in a rebellion and coup in his early years, although the saint-rank powerhouse could not be measured by secular standards, but it was somewhat not loud enough.

This new Saint-Rank powerhouse has made great achievements on the front line - that is a good person who helped us fight those barbarian races!

And in the process of spreading this "happy event", there are naturally many people with good deeds. Using the name of Hussein to make a fuss, it is faintly linked to the traitor of the "dead" local church.

It's just that there are all kinds of rumors, but the church has always remained silent and has not said a word.

It was the day after the order was issued on the place of the reward for Hussein.

Duke Tulip, who has been "recuperating" at home for several months, finally walked out of his duke's palace openly!

Early that morning, the Duke's carriage left the palace in a grand manner, and under the command of a team of guards and knights, they went out of the city gate. When the guards of the city guarding the city saw it, they all didn't believe their eyes.

Everyone guessed in their hearts: This Duke who was in the whirlpool of the storm was out of the mansion, and I am afraid that this will be the case in the future. It's not too peaceful!

However, Du Wei took a carriage and went out of the city, and directly came to the "Emperor's [**] Affairs Academy".

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy, Du Wei was still in a wheelchair, and the instructors and guards of the academy who had heard of the arrival of the Duke hurriedly came up to greet him.

A group of people hugged Du Wei's wheelchair and slowly walked into the academy. When I passed by the cāo field, I heard shouting and shouting from the cāo field, but it was the students who were training.

In the Military Academy, there were already 500 Wang Cheng's guards who had been transferred, and they were specially stationed here. One is to be responsible for the order and protection of this place. came, and also served as the "sparring partner" of these officer cadets.

When Du Wei came to the cāo field. Dozens of cadet officers were conducting cross-country exercises with 200 heavily armed soldiers of Wang Cheng's Guards.

Du Wei immediately ordered people to push the wheelchair to the cāo field, and from a distance, he saw a group of officers divided into blue and red sides, competing with each other, and a hot momentum.

Du Wei's wheelchair creaked, the wooden wheel ran over the sandy land on the cāo field, and came to the side, plus a group of entourages around, which immediately aroused the ideas of many officers and cadets on the cāo field...... Isn't it the dean who has made everyone suffer enough?!?

As soon as they saw that this star-like figure was back, all the students in the audience were stunned, and they even forgot about the training, everyone stared at Du Wei with blank eyes, and some people even opened their mouths wide, so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

There was also an officer cadet, who was climbing the obstacle earthen wall, and saw Du Wei at a glance, looking at the familiar smile that made people's hearts hairy, and I don't know why, suddenly his hands and feet were weak, and he was agile, but he suddenly fell off the earthen wall, sat down on the ground, but he didn't care about the pain, and just stared at Du Wei with eyes.

Du Wei waved his hand lightly and grinned, "Little cubs, I'm back to work...... Did you miss me?"

These words were said lightly, but none of them spoke, they all held their breath and watched the return of the dean, and most of them had a thought in their hearts: "This torturous guy is back, this is the end of the day, and ...... in the future." I'm afraid it's even harder......"
