Chapter 530

In recent days, several major events have taken place in the imperial capital.

At the ceremony, the miracles and the fanatical atmosphere made most people lose their sense. Taking advantage of this momentum, Prince Chen and Du Wei announced the choice of heir to the throne.

To Dewey, this is a despicable act of "promoting superstition"! But Prince Chen appreciates it very much.

Although some people, after all, have all kinds of doubts in their hearts. After all, not everyone is a fool. They will be confused by Duwei and Prince Chen. But... With Mr. Yago Doug, the chairman of the Magic Union, a heavyweight ally, even the chairman of the mainland Magic Union announced that the miracle was a real miracle! Not by magic

In this respect, who dares to say that he is more authoritative than the chairman of the Magic Union?

The fanatical superstitious color added a layer of sacred color to Prince Charlie's succession.

No matter whether they oppose or doubt.

In short, on the square, Prince Chen has read out the old emperor's will, and has made it a "fait accompli"! Tens of thousands of people heard the official announcement of the royal family. Who can stop what?

So, behind is the busy funeral of the old emperor. The funeral was not too heavy, but it was not too slow. It ended the reign of his majesty Augustine VI over the continent with a ceremony serious enough.

Then came the new emperor's succession ceremony.

On the biggest hall in the Imperial City, Prince Chen took his son's hand and put him on the throne. Looking at the Little Prince Charles wearing a crown, many powerful ministers of the Empire sigh in their hearts: what does our Regent want to do? Why didn't he become emperor himself?

Fortunately, although the 10-year-old sat on the throne, the power of the Empire was still in the hands of the Regent. All orders. Still the same!

And our new emperor Charlie, he just needs to hold a court meeting every other period of time, sit on the throne and make a show. As for the normal time, he can still continue his study in the palace, occasionally riding and hunting.

Of course, he has a new job: learning magic!

Your majesty, Charles, I'd like to thank Mr. Yago Doug, chairman of the Magic Union, for being the magic teacher. It was soon revealed. As the chairman of the magic trade union, it's enough to be an emperor's teacher.

It's just... It doesn't seem to be traditional. Everyone knows that the royal family keeps a team of royal court magicians. In the past, even if the royal children were interested in learning magic, it was only in the court.

A detail worth mentioning is:

At the ceremony of Charles' new emperor's accession to the throne, his majesty Pope Paul XVI of the temple of light of the mainland did not come to the scene in person according to tradition! Instead, he was absent from the ceremony on the pretext of good health. Only the recognized successor of the Pope, Archbishop Maximus, was sent to the ceremony in his place.

"That's where we failed."

In the church, in His Holiness's prayer room, Orpheus looked at the great holiness with a light tone of mockery: "look. We all know that we need to "unite", so before you used the excuse of "unite" to force and threaten the royal family. But now, in turn, they threaten us with "unity."! They dare to do that. That is to say, at this stage, we dare not turn our backs. "

Orpheus looked at the Pope's old face. "I'm sure it's all the tulip Duke's idea. It's ridiculous that you human beings always care about small profits. And this tulip Duke, he sees farther than you. "

The Pope looked at this "angel" which made him hate more and more, and said coldly, "Oh, then, Oedipus, do you have any idea?"

"Like we did in the northwest. But unfortunately it failed. " "At all costs, let the tulip family and the royal family break up," oedis said lightly

"No matter how powerful duvet is, he's just a noble family, even if he's powerful... I don't understand, dear angel, Oedipus." The pope said coldly, "why do you always pay so much attention to this man! If it wasn't for your insistence on a series of actions that angered Dewey, he wouldn't be so tough! "

These arguments about Dewey. He couldn't hear it himself.

After the ceremony of the emperor's succession. Dewey had left the capital.

The final phase of the Kaspersky defense line in the northern part of the mainland has finally been completed!

Don't know in what reason, Regent a paper order. Let Dewey take charge of the inspection and acceptance of the most expensive military defense line of the Empire. At the same time, he is also responsible for sending a top secret document jointly signed by his Majesty the emperor and his Royal Highness the regent to the storm Corps stationed in the north and the newly established thunder whip Corps!

Moreover, the Regent gave Dewey a task: to see if that line of defense is strong enough! In addition, the northwest independent division has gone to the north and will officially change its name there! The name of the northwest independent division will be cancelled, and they will get a new name: Imperial air force!

In fact, duvidi's itinerary was deliberately advanced by two days.

On the night after the ceremony of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he set out in a carriage.

So, when the northwest independence division, led by general Andrea, made a long journey to the Kaspersky line, duvi himself had already arrived here first.

Over the past few months, after the military commander-in-chief issued a series of mobilization orders, in the northern part of the Empire, the imperial army was mobilized frequently, and the area where the army was deployed also underwent tremendous changes.

The northern storm corps, which had been stationed in the southern tip of the frozen forest, had already completely retreated, abandoned the camp originally set up in the southern tip of the frozen forest, all military supplies, food and grass, and so on, and carried them back.

Almost all the villages and towns near the south of the frozen forest started to move as early as last year.

It can be said that the empire is now 150 miles south from the frozen forest. There are no more people.

For this reason, the imperial Ministry of Finance paid more than one million gold coins for demolition and resettlement.

Most of the residents moved to the south of the Kaspersky line of defense to settle down. A small number of people lost their land. The empire made some compensation. The tulip duchy in the northwest, the province of Desa, has always been sparsely populated. Many people were resettled and moved to the northwest, where they can get new land.

Dewey did the imperial treasury another little favor. The land is available to a large number of cultivable farmers.

In the south, perhaps no one felt it.

But in the northern part of the Empire, it seems that there was a sense of tension here long ago!

Large areas of villages and towns began to move, and every family was moving southward. In small cities one by one, soldiers are tearing down the city walls, carrying usable stones to the south to supplement the Kaspersky defense line, and farmland... Anyway, there are not many farmland in this cold region.

Grain that can be harvested. Harvest as soon as possible, as for the others, just burn them!

This is a typical practice of "strengthening the wall and clearing away the wild"!

The soldiers below know it very well, and the junior officers know it, though they don't know why. However, when the strict military orders came down, these elite main battle legions of the Empire showed a high degree of discipline!

The Kaspersky defense line, as the most expensive military defense line of the Empire. It is located in the northern part of the Empire, about 150 to 200 miles south of the frozen forest.

The terrain here has been carefully selected.

To the west of it is a branch of the Qili mulu mountain range, with rugged peaks that are dangerous enough. In the East, a natural river leading to the sea, after nearly two years of digging, has been dug into a huge and wide artificial river! Moreover, deep into the hinterland of the mainland!

Once the war came, the Imperial Navy could even drive directly from the river to the hinterland of the mainland. Over the river, attack the land!

And the Kaspersky line of defense, this line of defense, is not simply a wall in the imagination.

The main body of Kaspersky defense line is composed of three huge military fortresses, East, West and middle. Each set one! Every military fortress was built according to the standard far beyond the Imperial military fortress.

The military fortresses on both sides are slightly smaller. But it's enough to accommodate more than 100000 troops! A lot of weapons and materials are stored, even in a war. Enough to keep 100000 troops in the fortress for a year!

And the main plug in the middle is the most important. The wall here is the most defensive diamond design! The lowest place is as high as 15 meters! The average height is over 23 meters!

What's more, the gate is not on the ground! But... In mid air! The gate is about five meters above the ground!

According to the design, outside the gate, there is a ramp only about four meters wide and fifty meters long! If you want to enter the fortress, you can only follow this ramp all the way up, and then enter the gate!

This kind of design, once the war comes, the enemy who attacks the fortress can only march up this ramp if they want to break through the city gate. The ramp, which is only four meters wide, will force the enemy not to invest too much force to attack the city gate!

Even if you want to open the city gate with a car crash, it will be very difficult for you to push the car crash up the ramp!

Imagine, in a war, if you want to break through the city gate, you have to let a large number of soldiers push and crash along a 50 meter long ramp, and still go up the slope! At the same time, on the wall, there are hot oil and water, dense arrow rain, huge stones

Just think about it, you will feel that this thing must be a very difficult bone to chew! It's hard, it's hard!

Moreover, there is a tower about every ten meters above the city wall. The tower is built with the strongest monolithic boulder. Even if it is directly hit by the enemy's catapult, it will not collapse immediately and has enough ability to withstand the attack.

In each tower, there is a huge catapult for naval ships!

There is such a crossbow every ten meters above the continuous city wall. This kind of building at all costs, of course, cost a lot of gold coins! And needless to say, the weapon business of the guy in deran mountain Warcraft also made great efforts. The East, the west, the middle and the three fortresses were built according to this standard. And between the three fortresses, there is an auxiliary line of defense. There is an open corridor in the rear... The corridor is wide enough for the carriage to pass in it! Once the war starts, if one of the fortresses is in a tight situation, then you can get assistance from other fortresses directly through this corridor“ It's a line of defense that can't be broken. " This is said by Lord Rostock, the commander of the storm corps and the Veteran General of the Empire. The old general, who joined the army with duvet's father count Raymond, made such a judgment with his rich experience“ Such a line of defense. Even if you give me a million troops, I'm not sure I'll defeat them. " Dewey looked at general Rostock and listened to the sigh. The commander of the storm corps, who has been guarding the border of the Empire for many years, is a real practical soldier. The military has a strong reputation in the Empire. At the same time, he is a friend of the Rowling family. And when Dewey came here to inspect this line of defense. As a special minister with imperial mandate, Dewey's status is noble, and general Rostock personally accompanied him here. The other army commander, the head of the newly established Thor's whip army, the political enemy of duvidi, alpai, did not accompany him personally. It seems that the guy put on airs in front of Dewey and knew that the relationship between them was stiff. Just hide in the commander-in-chief's office in the fortress on the pretext of busy military affairs. As a matter of fact, duvi has been here for a day and has not met the general alpai. When duvida arrived here last night, general Rostock also came to meet him. Alpai is said to have "just" visited other barracks last night and was not in the city. If you don't see it, you can't see it. Dewey doesn't care. But listening to general Rostock's admiration, Dewey felt a little uneasy. So he looked at the old general's face. Very seriously said: "general... There is no fortress in the world that can not be broken, never." Standing on the wall. Dewey's had enough. This line of defense is worthy of the huge amount of gold coins it has invested. It is indeed worth the price, and it is hard and strong enough! The army stationed in it is also the most powerful storm army of the Empire, and the whip of Thor, which is based on the storm army. As for the northwest independent division transformed into the imperial air force, after coming here, it will be stationed in the south of the defense line, where there is a newly built "air base"“ My Lord Dewey looked at Rostock and said with a smile: "I have brought a top secret document. This document is only authorized for you and general alpai to read. Of course, after you read it, you have the right to disclose it to your trusted confidants. His Highness The Regent means that this is a very important news. We are worried that the disclosure of this news will cause instability in the army. Therefore, we should be careful. Now, it's time to test your control over the army. This news may be shocking or frightening, but what we need is... To stabilize the morale of the army! " With that, Dewey patted himself on the chest: "this document is in my arms. We can go back to the commander's office now. I've had enough of it. I'm happy with the defence Rostock was silent for a moment. He lowered his voice: "Dewey, is it going to war? I understand that the Empire has done so many things, obviously preparing for a huge war. But the only thing I don't understand is, who are our enemies? Are there any enemies in the north of the mainland? Is it to deal with those Warcraft? I've been looking for a lot of relationships to inquire about, but even my old friends in the imperial headquarters don't know anything about it. "“ This top secret document I brought can answer your questions... It's really going to war, big war! " Dewey laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, only seriousness.
