In the past few days, several major events have happened in dìdū.

At that award ceremony. The miracles on display and the frenzied atmosphere on the scene made the vast majority of people lose their minds. And taking advantage of this momentum, Chen Huangzi and Du Wei are two. It was very evil that the heir to the throne was announced.

For Du Wei, this is simply a despicable act of "promoting superstition"! But Prince Chen admires it.

Although some people also have all kinds of doubts in their hearts afterwards, after all, not everyone is a fool. will be confused by the pair of monarchs and ministers of Du Wei and Prince Chen. But...... With the heavyweight ally of Mr. Jago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Guild, the chairman of the Magic Guild of the J Kui Continent, he declared that the miracle was a real miracle! Not a miracle made by magic......

in this regard. Who would dare to stand up and say that he is more authoritative than the judgment of Mr. President of the Magical Guild?

The fanatical superstition sè color smeared a layer of sacred face on the succession of Prince Charlie.

It's okay to oppose it. Skepticism is fine.

In short, above the square. Emperor Chen has already read out the old emperor's will, and has made this matter a "fait accompli"! The ears of tens of thousands of people present have heard this official announcement of the imperial family. Who can stop what?

Thereupon. Behind is the funeral of the old emperor in full swing, the funeral is not too grand, but it is not too slow, with a serious enough ceremony. Ended the rule of His Majesty Augustin VI over the continent.

Immediately after that, it was the succession ceremony of the new emperor.

In the largest hall in the imperial city, Prince Chen personally held his son's hand. Sent him to the throne of the throne, and looked at the appearance of the little Prince Charles wearing a crown. Many of the powerful ministers of the empire sighed in their hearts: What does our earth regent want to do, why doesn't he become emperor himself?

Fortunately. Although the ten-year-old child sat on the throne, the power of the empire was still in the hands of the regent. All decrees are still the same!

As for our new emperor, Charlie, he only needs to hold court meetings every once in a while. It's okay to sit on the throne and make a show, as for the usual time. He can still be in the palace. He continued his studies, occasionally hunting on horseback.

And, of course, he had a new job: learning magic!

His Majesty Emperor Charles. Worship the president of the Magic Guild, Mr. Jago Doug, for the magic teacher. It was soon revealed, as the president of the Magic Guild. It's enough to be an emperor's teacher.

Merely...... It seems that this is not in line with tradition, everyone knows it. The royal family itself feeds a team of royal court magicians. In the past, even if the children of the royal family were interested in learning magic, they only did so in the court.

One detail worth mentioning is:

Charles's new throne succession ceremony. His Majesty Pope Paul XVI of the Temple of Light on the Continent. He did not attend the ceremony in person, as is customary, but was absent from the succession ceremony on the pretext of being in good health. Only a recognized successor to the Pope was sent. His Excellency Archbishop Maximus came to the ceremony in his place.

"That's where we failed. ”

Inside the Church, in the prayer room of His Majesty the Pope. Opdis spoke in a tone that was faintly mocking. Looking at His Majesty the Great Pope: "Look, we all know that now we have to 'unite', so. In the past, you used the pretext of unity to persecute and threaten the royal family, but now, they are using 'unity' to threaten and persecute us! They dare to do this, which means that we dare not turn our faces at this stage. ”

Opdis looked at the Pope's old face: "I'm sure everything was the idea of that Tulip Duke, it's ridiculous." You humans always like to take care of petty profits, and this Duke Tulip. He sees farther than you do. ”

The Pope looked at the "angel" who made him more and more annoying, and said coldly: "Oh. So Opdis, do you have any ideas?"

"It's like we're in the Northwest Drylands. But unfortunately failed. Opdis said lightly: "At all costs." To make the tulip family and the royal family break up. ”

"No matter how strong Du Wei is. He's just a noble family. Even if he is powerful...... I don't understand, respectfully angel, Opdis. The Pope said coldly: "Why." You always have to pay so much attention to this person! If it weren't for your insistence and a series of actions that angered Dewey. He's not going to be so tough!"

These controversies about Du Wei. He couldn't even hear it.

After the succession ceremony of the emperor, Du Wei had already left the dìdū.

The final phase of the Kaspersky Line in the north of the continent has finally been completed!

I don't know what the reason is. The regent ordered a piece of paper. Let Du Wei be in charge of the acceptance of the most expensive military defense line in the empire. At the same time, he is also in charge of the Storm Legion stationed in the Northlands, as well as the newly formed Thor's Whip Legion. Send a top-secret document signed by His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Regent!

Moreover. The regent gave Du Wei a task: to see the line of defense. Is it sturdy enough!In addition. The Northwest Dúlì Division had already left for the North. It will be there, and the name will be officially changed! The name of the Northwest Dúlì Division will be cancelled from now on. They will be given a new land name: Imperial Air Force!

As a matter of fact. Du Wei's itinerary. Deliberately two days in advance.

The night after the succession ceremony of the new emperor. And he set out in a carriage.

So. By the time the Northwest Dúlì Division, led by General Andrew, had made the long journey to Kaspersky's defensive line, Du Wei himself had already arrived there first.

these months. After the military high command issued orders for the continuous transfer of troops one by one, in the northern part of the empire, the movement of the imperial [**] team was frequent, and the area where the army was deployed also underwent great changes.

The Northern Storm Legion, which had been stationed at the southern end of the Frozen Forest. He had already fully retreated, abandoning the camp that was originally set up at the southern end of the frozen forest, all the military supplies, grain and grass, and so on. All of them were carried back.

Almost all villages and towns near the southern part of the frozen forest began mobilization and relocation as early as last year.

Arguably. It is now one hundred and fifty miles south from the frozen forest to the land of the Empire. There are no more people left.

For this, the Imperial Treasury paid more than a million gold coins for demolition and resettlement.

Most of the inhabitants moved to the south of the Kaspersky Line. A small number of landowners lost their land, and the empire made some compensation - the Duke's territory of Tulip in the northwest, and the province of Desa has always been sparsely populated. A lot of people were resettled and migrated to the northwest, where they were. They can get new land.

Du Wei did the Imperial Treasury a small favor. But the land was given to a large number of peasants who could cultivate the land.

In the south. Maybe no one feels it.

But in the northern lands of the empire, it seems to have been a long time ago. There was already a sense of tension here!

Large tracts of villages and towns began to relocate. Every family is heading south, one by one, in small cities. Soldiers are tearing down the walls. Carry usable stone to the south to replenish the Kaspersky Line. And the farmland ...... Anyway, there isn't much farmland in this cold area.

He can reap the grain of the land, and reap it as soon as possible, as for the rest. Just set it on fire!

This is a typical "strong wall clearing" approach!

The soldiers below understood it in their hearts, and the junior officers understood it in their hearts. Although people don't know why. However, when the military order was strictly pressed down, these jīng Ruidi Empire's main battle regiments showed extremely high discipline!

Kaspersky Line. It was one of the most expensive military lines of defense in the Empire. It is located in the northern frontier of the Imperial Continent, about one hundred and fifty to two hundred li south of the frozen forest.

The terrain has been carefully selected.

To the west of it is a branch of the Pneumatic Horse and Mule Mountains. Rugged peaks. It is dangerous enough, and a natural river to the east that has been introduced into the sea has been dug into a huge and wide artificial river after nearly two years of excavation! Immerse yourself in the heart of the continent!

Once the war comes. The Imperial Navy, even from this river, can drive directly into the inner belly of the continent, above the river. Attack on land!

And the Kaspersky Line. This line of defense. It's not just a wall in the simple sense of the word.

The main body of the Kaspersky Line is made up of three huge military fortresses, to the east. West, middle. Each military fortress was built to a standard that far exceeded the Empire's first-class military fortress.

The military forts on both sides were slightly smaller, but large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 troops! Even if there is a big war, it is enough for 100,000 troops to sustain the fortress for a year!

The main fortress in the middle is the most important, and the walls here are the most defensive designs in the shape of diamonds! The lowest place is also as high as fifteen meters! The average height reaches more than twenty-three meters!

And, most outrageously. The gates are not on the earth......! The gate is about five meters above the ground!

According to the design, outside the city gates. A ramp is designed to be only about four meters wide and fifty meters long, and you have to follow this ramp all the way to the fortress. Then enter the city gates!

Designed like this. Make it possible to attack the enemy in the fortified area once the war comes. To break through the gates. The only way to go up this ramp is to make it a mere four-meter-wide ramp that will force the enemy to attack the gate with too many troops at once!

Even. If you want to crash the city gate open, you want to push the crash car up the ramp. It's going to be a very difficult job!

Imagine, in the midst of war. You shall break through the gates. A large number of soldiers, pushing the crashing cart, had to go up the fifty-metre-long ramp -- and uphill! There's also hot oil and water. Dense rain of arrows. Huge stone ......

Just thinking about it, you think that this thing must be an extremely hard bone to gnaw!

Moreover, above the city walls. About every ten meters or so, there is a tower. Towers are built from the strongest monolithic boulders, even if they are hit directly by enemy trebuchets. It doesn't collapse immediately and has enough capacity to withstand blows.

In every tower. Set up a huge ballista on the ground of a naval warship!

On top of the continuous city wall, every ten meters of distance is such a ballista, so it is built locally without sparing blood. Of course, it cost Du Wei a lot of gold coins!

And needless to say, the weapons business of that guy from the Warcraft of Teland Mountain. It also took a lot of effort.

East. West. In the middle, the three major fortresses were built according to this standard, and between the three major fortresses, there was also an auxiliary defensive line. There is also an open corridor at the back...... The road was wide enough for horse-drawn carriages to pass through! Once the war began. If one of the fortresses is tight. Then pass through this road. Aid can be obtained directly from other fortresses!

"It's a ground line that can't be breached. ”

The place that said this is the commander of the Stormwind Legion, the old general of the Imperial Land, Lord Rostock, the old general who joined the army with Du Weidi's father, Count Raymond. With his vast experience, he made such a judgment.

"Such a line of defense, even if you give me a million troops, I will not be able to break through it. ”

Du Wei looked at the Rostock general beside him. Listen to each other's sighs.

The Captain of the Tempest Legion. He has been on the border of the empire for many years, and is a true soldier with a practical style, with a strong prestige on the imperial side, and at the same time, he is also a friend of the Rollin family.

And. When Du Wei came here to inspect this line of defense, as a special minister with the imperial order, Du Wei had a noble status. General Rostock personally accompanied him here.

And the other legion commander, the head of the newly formed Thor's Whip Legion. That Du Wei's political enemy. Alpayi. But he didn't come to accompany him personally.

It seems that the guy has put up a good fight in front of Du Wei, and he also knows that the relationship between the two is stiff. simply excused himself to be busy with military affairs, and hid in the commander's mansion in the fortress and did not show up.

In fact, Du Wei had been here for a day and had not seen the general Alpayi.

When Duvey arrived here last night, General Rostock came to greet him, and Alpayi is said to have "just happened" to visit the other barracks last night, and was not in the city.

If you don't see it, you don't see it. Du Wei didn't care either.

Listening to General Rostock's admiration, Du Wei felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he looked at the old general's face. Said very seriously: "General...... There is no fortress in this world that cannot be impregnated. Never. ”

Standing on top of the city walls. Du Wei has seen enough.

This line of defense is indeed worthy of the huge amount of gold coins that he has thrown. It's worth the price. Also hard enough. Strong enough!

And the troops stationed in it. It is also the Stormwind Legion, the most combat-ready in the Empire right now. and Thor's Whip, which was established as a standard for the Stormwind Legion.

As for the transformation into the Northwest Dúlì Division of the Imperial Air Force, after arriving here, it will be stationed south of the defensive line. There is a just-built "air base" there.

"Your Excellency, General. Du Wei looked at Rostock and didn't speak, he smiled: "I brought a top-secret document. This document is only for you and General Arpayi, of course. After you read it. Have the right to reveal the matter to your trusted henchmen. His Royal Highness the Lord Regent meant that this was very important news, and he was worried that the disclosure of this news would cause instability in the army. So, we have to be careful. Now the time. It's a test of your control over the military, and the news can be shocking or terrifying, but what we need is ...... Stabilize the morale of the army!"

said. Du Wei patted his chest: "This document is in my arms." We can go back to the Commander's Mansion now, I've seen enough, I'm happy with this line. ”

Rostock was silent for a while, and then he lowered his voice: "Du Wei, are you going to fight? The empire has done so much. It was obvious that they were preparing for a huge war, but the only thing I didn't understand was that. Who is our enemy? Are there any enemies in the north of the continent? Is it to deal with those demonic beasts? I have already made many inquiries, but even I am an old friend in the dìdū headquarters. They didn't know anything about it. ”

"This top-secret document I have brought with me can answer your questions...... Indeed, there is a war on the earth. Big battle!"

Du Wei smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, only seriousness.
