Law of the Devil Chapter 518: [Gabri’s Choice]
Chapter 518 [Gabri's Choice]
When referring to the ceremony, Gabriel's look was calm. But when Dewey mentioned the word "fiancee", Gabri's expression was so unnatural. He seemed to look at his brother. One glance, but deliberately jumped off the topic: "I heard that you killed a holy knight, or a big knight."
Gabri looked at Dewey's face.
Du Wei frowned slightly before he laughed: "Oh, the news spread so fast."
Gabri sighed, a little worried: "Brother, I know what you are going to do, there is always your truth. So no matter what you do, I will stand by your side ... but don't forget Now, our mother is a devout believer in the church. It is very sad for my mother to learn this news. "
Du Wei thought for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Hum, what is the church and religious place on the Rollin Plain, what did you say when you went to your home?"
"... The Protestant of the Religious Institute in the Province of Corte, before I set off, came to my house once and gave me a few gifts in name. Congratulations on my coming of age, but ... it must be intentional. Pass some words through the mouth of the servant at home, and then into the ears of the mother. "
Du Wei sneered: "These sticks, always like to play these insidious tricks." He glanced at his brother: "How did you do that?"
Gabri's eyes showed a little persistence: "What else can I do? Before I came out, I broke the legs of the two servants who chewed their tongues in front of my mother, and threw them out. Then I told my mother that Struggles have always existed. Now that our family is tightly tied to the royal family, there are certain things that we have to do. As for the churches in the province of Kote ... I have ordered them. This year's religious contribution tax will be reduced by 50%. Forgive these guys and dare not come to the capital to sue. "
Du Wei smiled, and was very satisfied with the growth of his brother. After all, the person who will take charge of the Rollin family in the future cannot be a gentle sheep. It must be a lion who dares to fight all the provocations of his territory!
"Yes. After your initiation ceremony, there are two major events. One is naturally married, and you want to marry your fiancee. The second ... is your future. According to the tradition, the Rollin family heirs , Naturally you want to enter the military, do you have any ideas? "
The two brothers ride on horses and run side by side. After Du Wei's question was raised, Gabriel did not immediately answer it, but lowered his head and thought for a while. When he looked up, the teenager's face was full of sincere expression: "Brother. Where do you want me to go?"
Du Wei gave a stun, he looked at his grown-up brother and smiled, "You have grown up, you don't have to listen to everything I arrange. You should have your own ideas, I can only give you some Opinions, but can no longer help you decide what. "
Speaking, Du Wei suddenly strangled the horse, looked at his brother sitting on his straight back, and suddenly smiled. He untied his cloak and threw it to Gabri. Softly said: "After all, the emperor is not the south, it is still cold at night, you put this thing on."
Gabri looked at his brother and looked at his face. The two brothers look similar in appearance, but in contrast, the 14-year-old Gabriel is more focused on the traditional image of the Rollin family: strong, face The outline is also more square. Not even 15 years old. Some velvety soft beards had grown on his face. It was Du Wei, the eldest son of the Rowling family. It seemed to be thinner than his brother, and his shoulders were not as wide as Gabrielle's.
From this point of view, when Gabriella grew up, he was afraid that he would be more like the image of Earl Raymond, an imperial general, than Dewey.
Du Wei, on the other hand, is more like a Wenchen.
After looking at his brother, Gabri immediately wrapped the cloak without hesitation. Du Wei smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's talk, what do you think. You talk to me first, and now I have some status. What department do you want to go to, I will make you do what I want . "
"I want to go to the army and be a military officer, even if I start with a lower officer, like my father did." Gabri's voice was firm: "I don't want to go directly to the headquarters to be a civilian soldier, that's too It's boring. "
"Go to the army and become a junior officer?" Du Wei groaned for a while, but stopped talking.
The two brothers remained silent, but Gabri occasionally secretly looked at Du Wei from time to time, watching Du Wei's eyes change, and he was also a little bit nervous, I don't know if my brother will support his decision.
He made this choice for a reason. Their father, Earl Raymond, the oldest patriarch of the late Rowling family, when Raymond was young, and after the initiation ceremony, he entered the imperial army directly as the earl, instead of choosing to do civilian work in the command headquarters and went directly to the north. In the Storm Corps, I have been a junior officer for three years, starting with the captain and then the captain. I have been a commander for the last three years.
Of course, this speed of promotion is naturally rocket-like. After all, his identity is the heir of the Imperial Rowling family. But even so, it is rare among the nobles, because most nobles and nobles will not send their heirs to the grass-roots level of the army in difficult conditions, but will choose to seek in various departments of the imperial capital. A good post, and then slowly mixed qualifications, at a certain age, and then sent to the local army, directly as a senior officer, mixed for a few years, to do some "pirates" and "maintaining local security" and other achievements , You can return gloriously to the imperial capital, get a general rank in the military, or seek a lower-ranking position in the general headquarters ...
This is the official career path of most heirs of nobles. It is very smooth, and you don't have to suffer too much.
Raymond was a strange number. He rejected the military command of the imperial capital. Instead, he went to the four main battle corps of the empire. He was promoted to commander-in-chief in the year, and also relied on the influence of the family, but he was willing to endure hardship, but everyone admired it. The Stormwind Legion was the hardest part of the empire. He personally took the army and the World of Warcraft in the frozen forest, and also fought against the poached smuggling mercenary regiment. He was wounded and stood up. Gong, these are the actual credits without water injection.
It was enough to make him admire him, everyone thought. As the heir of a well-known empire of the Wuxun family, this is enough to show his excellence, so he should be able to return to the emperor to enjoy the blessing.
But he doesn't!
He went to the Northwest Army again! As the head of the cavalry regiment for a year, he led people to the northwest and those murderous horse bandits and the prairie people for a while!
It can be said that the Empire had the hardest two main battle legions, and he had been there. After suffering, bleeding!
The empire has been peaceful for two hundred years, and the wealthy nobles, including many so-called Wuxun families, have gradually become mediocre. Becoming addicted to peace, few people are willing to suffer and hone themselves like Raymond.
Now, obviously, Gabri also wants to trace his father's footsteps.
Du Wei is thinking. They did not immediately answer Gabri, but the two returned to the Ducal Mansion of the Imperial City.
At the door of the house, I looked at the familiar house and courtyard. Although it was expanded, the Duke's House now looks more magnificent than the former Earl's House.
"Earl ’s Court, you have n’t chosen an address yet." Du Wei laughed. "There have been too many things lately. And, I'm sorry for you, this house ... it should be yours. But Your Highness Rewarded me as Duke's Mansion, so, in a few days, you have to move. "
Gabrihaha smiled: "Well, my brother, this is yours, that is mine, between the brothers. There is nothing to divide."
The servants came and took the horse. The guard cavalry who went to Beijing with Gabri also went to rest, and Du Wei took his brother directly. First returned to the study.
After a while, the servants delivered dinner. The two brothers sat at the table in the study and had a simple barbecue.
Gabri eats very sweet, finally wipes his mouth, and smiles: "Speaking of barbecue, brother, you make it yourself."
"Anyway, you are here now, and there will be opportunities in the future. I'll make it for you." Du Wei smiled.
He then gently dropped the knife in his hand, his face returned to seriousness, and he looked at his brother: "Well, let's talk."
Gabri's face was also so calm, he and Du Wei sat back at the desk, looking at the elder brother's serious face and a slightly frown. Gabriella can feel that as the older brother grows older, the title and official positions become higher and higher, and the authority in his hand is getting heavier, and the power between the eyebrows is getting stronger.
Sitting in front of his brother at this moment, Gabri suddenly developed a wonderful feeling in his heart: looking at his brother now is like looking at his majestic father.
"You want to hone yourself at the bottom of the army, I am proud of your courage." Du Wei slowly spoke, his voice was low: "Which army do you want to go to?"
Gabri smiled, and he heard that his brother seemed to support his idea: "The local defense forces naturally need not be considered. You also know what those local defense forces look like! A piece of sand, I went to that kind of place, I'm afraid Will make me lazy too. "
"No, Gabri." Du Wei shook his head: "You may not know in the Rollin Plain. In fact, for the past two years, His Royal Highness has been reorganizing the local defense forces, disarming and lay off a large number of redundant personnel , And daily training and military records have also been rectified, much better than that year. "
"I don't want to go to the local defense anyway," Gabri muttered.
Du Wei laughed: "If you do n’t go, do n’t go, so you want to go to the main battle legion? Or the Wangcheng Guards?"
"Just for the King City Guards! The King City Guards are still stationed in the capital, I just don't want to stay in the capital."
Du Wei sighed, he vaguely guessed his brother's intentions, but in order to respect his brother, he still asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Gabri smiled, and he pulled his finger and said, "I was very interested in the newly formed Thor's whip. I heard that the newly formed legion is very good in weapons and equipment. Many new weapons are I would like to give priority to them. However, the commander of this legion is Al Pai. Although I have been staying in the Rollin Plain, I also know that this Al Pai and brother are not in line with you. It is our enemy, so Naturally, I cannot go to his men, otherwise he will not be half-dead. "
Du Wei smiled, watching his brother's familiar childishness on his face, and his heart was a little warm.
"You don't need to say anymore. It stays in front of that swamp and radiates the south all year long ... but the south is too peaceful, and the southern army has been disarming and redeploying people for many years. The navy has been expanded and a batch of redeployed from the southern legion During the cleaning of the Wangcheng Guards, another batch was transferred from the Southern Army. This time, when the Thor's Whip was established, a group of backbones were transferred from the Southern Army. Now the Southern Army has only one empty shelf. The actual combat power, I ’m afraid it ’s better than the local defense! I do n’t want to go to that kind of boring place. ”
"Do you want to go north?" Du Wei looked solemn.
"Yes. The Stormwind Corps is my first choice." Gabri laughed: "You also know that when his father was young, he first served in the Stormwind Corps. The current legion general, Rostock, was his father. Friend. If I go, he should take care of me, so you don't have to worry about me. "
Du Wei sighed, but his face remained calm. Slowly said: "Apart from the Storm Corps? Do you have any other options."
"It's also good to go to the Northwest Independent Division." Gabri smiled: "But that's your place. The Northwest Independent Division is also controlled by your Northwest Military and Minister. It's your army. Although I'm interested in where , But I'm worried that others will gossip. I want to hone myself and don't want to stay under the protection of the wings. "
The last sentence reveals Gabrielle's mind.
Du Wei faintly frowned.
Because he is clear. Both of these options are bad! very bad! !!
If it is in peacetime, of course, Du Wei does not oppose his brother to eat a bit of hardships, and it is also good to go to the Storm Corps. Although the frozen forest may be a bit dangerous, as long as a few more family guards are sent, there should be no major problems .
Isn't that how my father came back then.
But now it's different!
Gabri doesn't know. But Du Wei knew!
Within the next year. The sinner alien will invade from the north at that time. Storm Legion bears the brunt!
Although Du Wei doesn't want to discourage his younger brother, he is selfish! In the future wars, as a defensive storm corps on the front line of the empire, it will be the first army to exchange fire with the army of criminals. The casualty rate will be very high!
He doesn't want his brother to take risks!
And the Northwest Independent Division ... In fact, this army is simply a cover made by Du Wei and Prince Chen!
This Northwest Independent Division is actually not an army at all! Because after the Northwest Corps fell, the threats on the grassland were already blocked by Dewey, so there was no need for the Northwest to station a large army. This Northwest Independent Division was actually made by Du Wei and Prince Chen quietly ...
Future Imperial Air Force!
In the past two years, the large-scale factory established by the Empire in the northwest has produced a continuous stream of hot air balloons. After being technically modified and updated, it has begun to provide large-scale equipment to the Northwest Independent Division. And a lot of training has also been carried out, this army will come in handy in future wars!
This Northwest Independent Division, the prototype of the future Imperial Air Force, will definitely fight with the criminals on the battlefield. Du Wei doesn't want Gabri to be a pilot for the safety of his brother's life!
I think of the letter that Bai Hechou sent back using witchcraft, describing the fighting power of the sinful people.
Those rhino fighters who compare their strength to the mid-level human samurai, and those orc soldiers who can madly increase their combat power at any time ... the powerful fighting machines made by the dwarves.
Look at my brother's young face.
Du Wei shook his head firmly!
"Brother, I said, I respect all your choices, and I won't force you to do anything. But, as your brother, I need to say my opinion." Du Wei looked solemn, eyes tight. Gaze tightly: "I personally ... oppose you going to the Stormwind Corps or the Northwest Independent Division."
"Why?" Gabri didn't immediately retort, but calmly questioned Dewey.
This performance pleases Du Wei. Very good, my brother finally looks like an adult, instead of like a frizzy child.
"I don't hide you." Du Wei sighed, and he lowered his voice: "This matter is still a secret now, but it will be announced after six months."
He suddenly took out a map of the empire from under the table. Lay down on the table and raise your finger to the frozen forest: "I think you know what happened to Warcraft in the frozen forest two years ago, and that incident caused heavy losses to the Storm Corps."
"I know."
"Very good! Then I tell you, this is just a prelude." Du Wei's voice was full of ruthless coldness: "In the coming year, in the north, north of the frozen forest, there will be a large number of ... we never knew and never knew the evil racial invasion! They are not human. They are aliens, they have at least a million troops, and powerful fighting power! Their goal is not to make a mess like those of Warcraft I'll leave now. It's for ... to exterminate humanity! This is a great war! The frozen forest will be at the forefront! "
Gabri is stunned.
The room suddenly fell into death-like silence!
The young Gabriel looked at his brother's eyes, and looked at the location of the frozen forest on the map.
Such a message is hard for anyone to believe and accept for a while!
The mainland has been peaceful for hundreds of years! For a long time, for the people of the Roland Empire, the only enemy they knew was nothing more than the separatist warlord of the Northwest Army. It has now been leveled by Dewey.
There are grasslands outside Kilimanjaro. Those grassland barbarians are just local disasters, not a big threat.
If you reluctantly investigate, maybe there is Nanyang ... but the proud Roland. They would not consider the indigenous people who had spears and boats as "enemies". They were not eligible!
"North?"
"North of the Frozen Forest?"
"Not a human alien?"
Gabri asked three questions in a row.
He can see that my brother is definitely not kidding!
"The only person who knows this now is His Royal Highness the Prince in the capital. He may have told Lord Robescher, but only in the small circle of core powers of the empire, not more than five. In addition, the only person who knows this is the pope in the temple ... And the chairman of the magical union, Jago Doug, should also be informed. "
Du Wei slowly moved his finger: "You know, we are north of the empire. A military line of defense has been established, a long line of defense built at the level of an empire-level military fortress. ! If it is just to prevent the outbreak of Warcraft, do we need to build such a line of defense at any cost? My brother ... "
Du Weidi's voice is full of coldness: "Foreign news, this line of defense was built in accordance with the empire-level military fortress, but in fact, its construction standards and costs are much higher! I am on this line of defense 16 million gold coins were invested! The empire also paid more than 100,000 laborers and husbands, and almost half of the people in the Imperial Works Agency were sent to the north. The lowest walls of this defense line are as high as 15 meters. Where are the crossbow cannons and defensive equipment equipped? The military fortress behind the line of defense. The size is enough to station more than three legions of troops, as well as the storage of weapons and grain and grass ... In the past year, grain in the south has been continuously transported In the north, and the northwest, I spent countless efforts to squeeze the cattle, sheep, horses and horses from the northwest grassland. Including the newly formed Thor's Whip Legion, and my northwest independent division, I will go north in the near future, and The Storm Legs round, and ... this line of defense will be our wall against invaders! "
Gabri finally spoke, and his lips moved a few times: "Are these intruders strong?"
"Very powerful." Du Wei smiled bitterly. For the first time in these three years, he could tell his loved ones for the first time: "It is so powerful that I am not sure! These invaders alone are far more powerful than our humans. Up. And ... they have wisdom, hatred, determination ... and everything! "
Du Wei sighed, his face was exhausted.
In fact, he has been exhausted for the past three years! It is only in front of his subordinates that he is a leader, and he cannot reveal the slightest weakness, but now, in the presence of his trusted brother, he can reveal his tiredness.
"This is not the Northwest War. It is not the kind of local warlord of the Northwest Army. It can be pacified after two or three months. It is not the grassland war two decades ago. It can end in one or two years ... This is a health National War, or 'Human Defense War', I even doubt that this war will last for ten, twenty years ... or even longer! "
Du Wei remembered the two "Myth Age Wars" ten thousand years ago.
The dark age, it was a full 100 years! !!
Silent ...
The two brothers are silent.
Du Wei suddenly smiled. Turning around from the bookshelf, he came up with a crystal bottle. The bottle is a habit of hiding fine wine. Du Wei also learned from his father, Raymond.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to his brother: "I think you must take two sips now."
Gabri smiled bitterly: "It seems I really need it."
He grabbed the bottle and drank it half a bit, because he drank too fast and took a few sips.
Looking at his brother's coughing face turning red, Du Wei finally smiled gently: "You are brave. Gabrielle. At least you did n’t be afraid to urinate pants after knowing this news. If ordinary people know us, Human beings are about to face such a great crisis of extinction and farming, and I am afraid that most people will panic and collapse. "
"Why ... why hasn't this news been announced?" Gabri smiled bitterly.
"I heard the news three years ago." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "But we need time to prepare for it! Do you think, if this news is announced, then how much panic and confusion will erupt in the human world? That kind of fear is full of There will be a lot of civil unrest in the empire. In despair, everyone has no intention to produce ... that would not work! We need three years, and in these three years, farmers need to continue farming. This way the empire can store food. Let the craftsmen continue Production, the Imperial Army can get sufficient weapons and equipment. Let merchants continue to circulate, the Imperial Finances can wait for sufficient military expenses! Also, in the past three years, we have at all costs wiped out the Northwest Army ’s warlords, eliminating internal problems ... you Think, if this news is announced early. I'm afraid we don't know what the chaos has become! But now it's fine, most people don't know, so we have prepared the army, the army's reorganization, weapons, grain, grass, etc. Accumulation, financial reserves, and the construction of the northern defense line ... "
"Can always be announced." Gabri whispered.
"The meeting place, within a few months." Du Wei sighed: "Then. Chaos is expected. But fortunately, we are ready to suppress the chaos. The reorganization of the local defense forces, and the northwest The warlords are gone, at least we don't need to worry about the inside. As for the people's panic ... this is inevitable. But food and weapons have been produced enough. Panic, let's panic. As for this ... Believe our spiritual leaders The Lord Pope of the church will find a way to calm this fear. After all, he is a spiritual leader. "
Cooing Cooing.
Gabri took another sip of wine.
At this moment, only under the stimulation of alcohol can this young man's trembling heart gradually calm down.
He is not cowardly, but when the news of such a major event comes, everyone will always be emotionally confused. Even Du Wei, when he knew it, was the same.
"I still want to go to the army!" Gabri actually filled a bottle of wine.
His face was red and red, and he placed the bottle heavily on the table.
"You are the heir to the family!" Du Wei reminded solemnly.
"But I'm a Rollin!" Gabri proudly said, "As the patriarch of the Rollin family, and the proud leader of the Wuxun family, how can the Rollin family step back at such a great moment! Our family is the one who guards this continent! Our ancestors fought blood for this empire, and our father bleeds for this empire! How can I be willing to be left behind! "
"You will have a chance." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "However, I still don't think you should go to the front line now. You are likely to die in the first wave of decisive battle."
"I'm not afraid of death." Gabriel shook his head: "The sons of the Rollin family are not afraid of death."
"I know." Du Wei still shook his head: "But you are the patriarch, who will inherit the family if you die? Don't forget, now you don't even have a son. You have just grown up yourself. Before you died, At least leave a line of inheritance to the family. Otherwise, wouldn't you look at the Rollin family that I had worked so hard to recover?
A very calm question, let Gabrielle be silent!
It is true that in this generation of the Rollin family, Raymond died too early, and Gabri has just reached adulthood, but his eldest son Du Wei has left the family and became a family.
It can be said that if Gabri suddenly dies, then the Rollin family may not even find an orthodox heir ... Waiting for this great family, there will be only the end of it!
"You will get married right away after your rite of passage. Simplify the wedding. Then ... I need you to make your wife pregnant or faster within a year. This is the responsibility of the family. As for your position ... … The Northern Storm Corps, I do n’t recommend you to go, because you are now there, and its role is just an ordinary junior officer, which does not contribute much value. And I have other arrangements for you ... of course All of this is based on the premise that you agree. You are my brother, but you have grown up, and I will not impose my meaning on you. You can think about it, if you insist on your intentions ... "
Du Wei laughed bitterly: "Then I can only agree, but I will send a master to protect you and try not to let you die in the post of a low-ranking officer. If the earl of the Rolling family is still a low-level cavalry captain It's dead in time, but it's too humiliating. You should have a bigger stage, my brother. "
Gabri stood up and looked at Du Wei: "You are my brother, and I am willing to obey your arrangements!"
Suddenly, he whispered suddenly, "Brother, how much do you really know about this ...?"
"You mean war?" Du Wei shook his head: "I'm not sure. I'm afraid this war will last for decades or even longer, so ... I have a plan, and after three months, I will think of a way Pick up my mother from her hometown and send her to Nanyang! Nanyang, I made some preparations, which is my area of influence.
"Southern Ocean?" Gabrid froze, but he immediately captured a message: "Do you think Kaspersky's line of defense might not block the other party? Are you worried that the Rollin Plain will fall?"
"Everything is possible." Du Wei shook his head: "This is not a war between man and man. The war between mankind and mankind, in the end, one party concedes, surrenders, and ends. But this is the destruction of the country. The war of extinction! The opponent's goal is likely to destroy humanity! Such a war has never been encountered by humans for thousands of years. "
Gabri looked at Dewey and watched for a while: "You are my brother, I believe in you, I believe in you unconditionally! Whatever you want me to do, I will do it!"
Du Wei laughed, his eyes were very bright, and he held his brother's hand firmly: "Rest assured, I am also a member of the Luo Lin family! I will not let the Luo Lin family fall into prestige. My brother, I am I hope that after you become a father, another famous celebrity of the Luo Lin family will be! "
Gabri's face suddenly looks strange: "Brother, can we discuss again about marriage ..."
