Chapter 538

What spreads the fastest in the world?

It's not a disease, it's not a virus, it's... The grapevine.

Whether it's good news or bad news, this kind of thing seems to be able to spread spontaneously through the air, and the diffusion speed is even much faster than people think.

The news that the Kaspersky defense line in the North was attacked by the enemy seemed to have wings, and soon spread to the interior of the Empire. In the imperial capital, it became a topic of discussion.

According to legend, a group of unknown enemies, a new race, appeared in the north of the Empire. They were strong, fierce and cruel... I heard they had fought with the storm army?

This topic suddenly became a focus in the streets, everyone is talking about these things, at the end of the day, most people will sigh: Fortunately, we have a strong storm Corps guarding the border.

Indeed, in this era of no plane, no train, no telephone, no advanced communication tools, the North... Even thousands of kilometers away, for people, it seems to have been another world. Although we are a little worried about this new monster enemy, people don't connect their own safety with this incident in their heart... After all, it happened thousands of kilometers away, and it's still very far away from themselves... Isn't it?

In fact, although the rumor shows the ferocity and cruelty of the enemies of these monsters, it is said that the storm Legion has won some victories in the fight with these monsters, worthy of storm Legion! Yes, of course! The brave troops of the Empire even won Warcraft, not to mention some monsters.

In fact, the news was spread intentionally or unintentionally by the Imperial military.

Prince Chen deeply understood the truth of "boiling frogs in warm water"... This truth was that Du Wei talked with him in his early years. Although the theory of "boiling frogs in warm water" has been proved by experiments. Frogs will not be cooked to death in the water, but will jump out. But this theory, but still let Chen Prince very agree with.

If you want to make everyone accept a big bad news, the best way is not to drag it out, but to say it bit by bit, so that everyone can accept it bit by bit.

So, the current version of the Empire decorated news is: the monsters are powerful, but the army can deal with them. And it seems that it is far less serious than the rampage of Warcraft two years ago.

Most of the people accepted the news calmly, and they were not frightened. The degree was only as follows: when people threatened children, they would say, "if you don't obey, the monster will eat you!" Or something.

The temple of light also made a positive response. In the aspect of the Church of light, which has been very silent since the new Emperor Charles succeeded to the throne, in the face of this event, it finally made some actions to satisfy the royal family.

The latest news was issued in the temple, a notice from his Majesty the great and respected Pope. Those northern monsters are evil heresies who betray the gods. However, the people of Roland, who are blessed by the great gods, will surely destroy them! Because we are a nation that believes in gods, and gods are on our side.

"I have to say. Religion can be useful sometimes. "

In the Imperial military academy, Dewey sits in his room, which is officially called "Dean's office".

Dewey leaned back in his chair, in front of his confidant Zach and his brother Gabriel.

Gabriel has done well in his academic career in recent months. He has been promoted. Although he is only a student now, he has the rank of riding commander.

In his hand, he took a copy of the military newspaper sent by the headquarters... Different from the folk news, this military newspaper is a top secret document, which shows the completion process of the small-scale battle between the search team of the storm corps and the criminal army in the field a few days ago. It's a true report without water!

Different from folk news, if this military newspaper is disclosed. I'm afraid it will really cause panic! Because all smart people can see that this military newspaper at least shows that the fighting capacity of the enemy is stronger than that of the most elite army in the Empire! And... They eat people!

Warcraft also eats people, but Warcraft has no wisdom, so it is not terrible.

"The Church of light did a good job this time." Dewey said with a smile: "I hope they can continue to cooperate... After all, it's also about their own survival. Now we are on a boat

Then Dewey looked at little Zach and said, "you've done a good job spreading the news. You've got a good sense of it."

"Boss, but as soon as the North starts to fight. Our business has been hit hard. All the Warcraft hunting teams in the frozen forest have been taken back. For a long time to come, our business income will be greatly reduced. "

"We're not short of money right now." Dewey laughed. "Next month. I'm afraid our fleet will be able to send up a new batch of revenue from Nanyang. As for Warcraft business, focus on the southern swamp for the time being. Although the meat there is thinner, it is better than nothing. Let the snow wolf mercenary group go south, and I'll tell you something... "

"The first Griffins have all hatched. I have arranged enough people in the manor 100 miles outside the city. At present, it's quite smooth. The first Griffins have survived successfully, but there is no progress in taming them. After all, our trainers don't have the experience to tame Griffins. "

"The Decepticon air Knights have transferred 200 reserves. They will report to your place in two days." "I attach great importance to this matter, and it is also very important to us," Dewey said! So put most of your energy on it for the time being, and do a good job in confidentiality. Is our trainer reliable? "

"Reliable." Little Zach laughed: "that manor is closed now. No one is allowed to go in and out. No news will come out. What's more, Mr. Hussein is also there. I believe no one can run out under his eyes. "

"Well, let's get our reserve knights in touch with the Griffins. Taming starts with cubs, and Knights have to touch their mounts early. "

After duvet finished, he explained a few other things and asked little Zach to leave.

"Brother."

After little Zach left, Gabriel looked at Dewey's expression, as if he wanted to stop talking.

After a few months in the military camp, Gabriel looked stronger and darker. However, his waist is straight, and he has already acquired the style of a martial arts man.

"What do you want to say?"

"Why keep it secret?" Gabriel was puzzled: "if the Griffin can become the mount of the air cavalry... Is it not good that we don't inform the Empire about this? I mean, this matter will always be disclosed in the future. At that time, will the Empire think that we are deliberately concealing this event? "

"I've handed over a lot of things." Du Wei sighed: "Northwest independent division, I handed it in. In recent years, a large amount of gold coins were used to subsidize the imperial finance. And gunpowder. I didn't hand in the formula, but now it's open to the Imperial Army... We don't have many secret weapons. Gabriel. In order to maintain the status of the family, we must have a few big killers. The Griffin army is still under construction. The reason why I don't take it out is, 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 just want to keep it from the church. As for the second... I also want to remind our great Regent that I, Dewey, can constantly make some new tricks. Constantly create miracles, make new useful valuable things! So 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... Hum, think about it. "

"But the Regent seems to trust you."

"But... He's not the emperor." Dewey sighed.

He stood up, went to the door, forced the door shut, and then looked at his brother: "Gabriel. I always have a premonition. I can't give any reason for this premonition, and I don't have much basis, but... "

"What do you want to say? Brother

"It's the Regent, and our new Charlemagne."

Du Weidi's face was very serious. He closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know what to say. It's a very strange feeling. I've been in touch with this little emperor Charlie for a while. When I was his teacher, I always felt... The child. It seems that he is not a wise monarch when he grows up! "

"What?" Gabriel was a little strange about his brother's conjecture.

Now everyone in the empire is talking about Emperor Charles. In the aristocratic circle, most people who can get in touch with the royal family think that little Charlie, though still very young, is very smart and wise. He has shown considerable wisdom at a young age.

"Do you remember that day when I made a miracle in the square, and then the Regent announced the death of the old emperor in public, and announced the passing of the throne?" Dewey burst into a smile.

He stared at his brother: "Gabriel, before that day, our Regent had quietly told him to calm down and told him that something big would happen, although I don't know how the Regent talked to his son. How much... But Charlie was so calm that day! Even... I stand not far away from him, I can feel that he has a kind of... Desire

Dewey waved hard: "he's a smart, precocious kid. But think about it... It's not kind of a child in his early 10's to yearn for the throne so early

"Children always have childish temper." Gabriel laughed: "when I was a child, when you were a child, didn't you have the temper of a child who liked to be in the limelight?"

"No, it's not a showy kid." Du Wei sighed and carefully described his mood: "that's desire! The desire for status and power! I really doubt where such a boy's ambition comes from. Of course, the word ambition is not appropriate. But there is one more detail... "

Du Wei's expression seemed to change a little. There was a strange flash in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "I told you, the old emperor died a few months ago! The news has been hidden... And then, I became Charlie's teacher in the palace for a long time! Of course, I don't know the news about the death of the old emperor. When did little Charlie know about it? Maybe he knew it very early, or maybe he knew it before the throne was handed down in the square that day. But... "

Dewey seemed to smile: "if a normal child, a 10-year-old child, hears about his grandfather's death, no matter how precocious and intelligent he is, he should at least show a little sadness from the perspective of conscience? Even if Augustine VI was not very close to the Regent, any grandfather would be good to his grandson. But... Whether I was with him a few months ago, when he was a teacher, or after he passed on the throne, I went to the palace and met him a few times... This child never showed any nostalgia for his grandfather. " Du Wei said here, and he sneered: "don't tell me that this child is smart... It's not a question of whether he is smart or not, but whether he is kind in nature! Speaking of cleverness, Princess Karina is cleverer than emperor Charlie in terms of talent. That little girl is the only genius I have ever seen. But... I met the little girl twice later, and she showed a little sadness of losing her grandfather. But his majesty, the Emperor Charles, is still laughing as usual. It's time to ride and play. "“ Brother, you mean... "I mean, our new emperor is... Unkind!"
