After the meeting, Dipp was busy until late at night. There are only a few hundred boats, and all of them are small river boats, and the speed of crossing the river is so fast that there is no hurry. The only way to increase your speed now is to venture across the river with torches after dark, day and night. Even Tipu temporarily lent a few storage rings to Simon and others, so that they could fill them with supplies and constantly fly across the Guana River to buy some more time for crossing the river.

After being busy until late at night, Dipu went back to the house to rest. But as soon as he fell asleep in a daze, he heard someone break in: "My lord! ”

Dipu suddenly fell asleep, he jumped up from the bed, and faced the panicked Sergio, Dipu asked urgently, "What's the matter?"

"General...... Committed suicide. ”

“......”

......

Dip's face turned pale, and he came to the house of General Anton. At this time, many people had already come outside the house to get the news. Seeing Dipu coming, some officials and generals who were qualified to enter the house hurriedly welcomed him in.

General Anton lay peacefully on the bed, with his sword in his chest, and blood had flowed all over the bed, and even part of it was dripping to the ground. The adjutant of General Anton held his head and crouched in the corner of the room crying bitterly. The others were all silent, and the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

There were several suicide notes on the table, and Dipu stepped forward and gave him a cursory look. It can be seen between the lines that General Anton blamed himself for the failure, and in the end he had the courage to take responsibility, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he chose to go to a dead end anyway.

At this time, Dip's heart was quite angry, why did he throw a mess down? He tried to calm down, but his mind was still in a mess. With his eyes closed and a few deep breaths, Dipu finally made his decision.

There was silence in the room, this matter was too tricky, let the highest-ranking Dipu in the room decide! I heard Dipu ask, "Who else knows about this news?

General Gore shook his head: "The incident happened suddenly, and it was kept secret. I was about to ask you to make a strategy. ”

"That's good!" said Dip at once, "the most important thing now is that there must be no chaos in the army. But this cannot be hidden. Inform the empire, and say: Your Excellency the Great General was seriously wounded in the battle, and he has persevered until now and died. It is hoped that the Empire will send another commander of the Northern Army, who will be led collectively by us before he arrives. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Now that you've made a decision, it's easy to do. But when everyone was about to leave, Basel in the corner suddenly murmured: "This...... It's suicide, and the gates of heaven won't open. ”

Originally, it was just a simple question. It was nothing more than that suicide was too much of a blow to morale, and Dipu told a lie. But this Basel suddenly pointed out a very important religious issue. It's nothing for Dip to lie, and the empire won't skimp on a grand funeral. But since it is a grand funeral, then the Holy See will definitely preside over the ceremony.

However, in the Holy Book of Light, there is a very clear doctrine that a suicide is equivalent to a blasphemer, and that it is impossible to turn over when he falls into hell, let alone ascend to heaven.

But at this time, Basel said such things, and he was too ignorant. Dipu's face changed with a "swish", and he shouted: "What I say is what I say, does the pastor still have any opinions?"

Basel was immediately frightened, his face turned pale and he quickly shook his head: "No, no." "Basel is not a stunned young priest who has just graduated from seminary, and understands that there are many dirty things to do in politics. In case Dip really gets angry and simply sends Basel to heaven in the name of stabilizing the morale of the army, then who will he cry to?

Dipu picked up the suicide notes again and picked out the one that was written to the family. He walked up to the adjutant and handed over the suicide note: "You personally hand it over to the general's wife! His Excellency was a man of courage and wisdom, and he was deeply saddened by his death. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" the adjutant was crying. As the confidant and lieutenant of General Anton, he understood that Dipu had taken all the responsibilities on him. Suicide can be big or small. And now that General Anton's reputation has been preserved after his death, Dipu has taken the risk for it.

Then, Dipu glanced at the rest of the suicide note, especially the one written to himself. He tilted his head, and magical flames erupted from the tips of his fingers, burning the suicide notes to ashes in an instant......

When Dipu walked out of the house and was blown by the night breeze, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn!"

......

The suicide of General Anton, oh, is now an incident of death after injury, and it is inevitable that the morale of the army will be turbulent. Fortunately, officers at all levels were appeased in time, and the troops quickly stabilized.

The empire also soon came to the news, and the military department ordered: Count Morning Glory Dip was directly promoted to the command of the Northern Army, and General Gore and General Dimmit were promoted to deputy commanders. At the same time, there are also some rewards for personnel. Among them was Heidelberg, who officially became the general of the Empire. Although as the eldest grandson of Field Marshal Phoenix, Heideberg's starting point was higher than that of ordinary people. But his series of performances are still quite outstanding, which is well deserved.

At the same time as the order came a private message from Her Majesty Queen Tricy to her royal guardian knight. The content is also very ordinary, just words of encouragement and encouragement. It is hoped that Dipu will live up to the trust and hold the defense line of the Guana River.

The reason for this arrangement is that the military department has repeatedly deduced that the battle situation in the northern theater is very bad. Now the troops in the northern theater are some remnants of the defeated generals, and they will soon face the freezing of the river, and in the face of the offensive of the demons, in fact, the defense line of the Guana River is already difficult to hold.

If it needs to be held, then it will definitely need a large number of reinforcements. However, the mobilization of reinforcements takes time, and it will take time for the beginning of spring at the earliest. But by that time, the dishes were cold!

So he simply placed Dipu in this position, in other words, obviously a scapegoat. And the distance between the kingdom of Tro is relatively close after all, for this cheap colt, Philip II should always lend a hand, right? Of course, if Dip really had luck and held the defense line of the Guana River, it would be a surprise for the empire.

However, seeing this order and Empress Tricy's private message, Dipu almost wanted to tear it apart on the spot. For this already hot and red position, Dipu really didn't want to sit down. Now, as long as you are not blind, you know that the situation is not good. But ...... Dipu could only look up to the sky and sigh...... (To be continued.) )
