Chapter 378 [Muslim Gong]

General Alpaj, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Royal Near Guard, probably came from somewhere, and of course Dewey could not have known anything about it.

How could Dewey not know who this war involving imperial transport, the commander of the friendly army is? However, Dewey did not expect this Alpai to do such an extraordinary act.

According to the information in Dewey's possession, this General Alpai, still quite young, as a senior imperial officer with the rank of general, comes from an ancient family in the southern part of the empire, which also has some inextricable links to the royal family… but it is not unusual.

And he's a new dignitary in the Imperial Army. As a result of the coup d 'état of Emperor Du more than two years ago, after the coup d 'état, the Royal Town Near Guard was massively reorganized and the second division of the former Guardian Emperor Du was completely abolished for its collective participation in the coup d 'état rebellion (of course, more than 4,000 troops fell directly into Dewey's pocket later).

After a massive overhaul, the fourth division is now made up of 5,000 Royal City Near Guard veterans, combined with thousands of more elite reserves drawn from various locations, and 10,000 from the Southern Legion. It is worth mentioning that, according to the information received by Dewey, in the 4th Infantry Division of the Royal City Near Guard, there is also a mix of 500 Royal Forest Army troops that Prince Chen specially transferred to Alpai.

To give the Regent five hundred Imperial Forest Guards is at least one obvious symbol: this Alpai is not a simple background.

General Alpai, 31 years old, is a standard young and powerful officer. He is also of Hawman descent, but his family has not always been deeply rooted in the military. It is only a rough understanding that this General Alpaj, more than two years ago, was just a deputy commander of a local guard force in one of the southern provinces, and in just over two years, taking advantage of the coup d 'état, Prince Chen needed a massive restructuring of the army in order to strengthen control over it, among which he had to select and promote a small number of strong soldiers. According to the military curriculum vitae, when General Alpaj assumed command of the local armed forces in the south, he managed local security very well, while stabilizing local order, as well as some banditry.

Bandits...

That word makes Dewey laugh. This excuse, the outsiders are okay, but Dewey herself was born into Wuhun's family, and her father was also the No. 2 boss in the military. This way, Dewey. Can't you see it?

Generally, any officer with a family background is merely gold-plated in the local army. And as long as you mix up locally for two or three years, accumulate some military experience and seniority, and then, under the operation of family relations, you can wave a lot, adding a vague concept of "bandits working” to your resume.

What do you mean, bandits? This is ridiculous. The South is the richest part of the empire. Where do so many bandits come from?

If it is the Storm Legion of the North, it is also responsible for touring the ice-covered forest every year, hunting warcraft, and often engaging in small-scale fighting with mercenary groups entering the ice-covered forest, as well as private armed hunting teams of some families, which can hardly be counted as military service.

But the Southern bandits, speaking, can make people laugh off their teeth. Thousands of miles of soil, the peaceful south, have no room for mass bandits to survive. The so-called “bandits” are mostly fabricated. Sometimes the capture of one or two thief gangs can be described in the report as an exaggerated military effort to calm down the rebellion of one bandit.

Of course, in just over two years, this Alpai was able to rise from a leader to a general, and in addition to his family background and the military merits of these so-called "bandits”, more than anything else, he had the best chance!

After the coup d 'état in Didu, the Imperial First Major Regiment, the Royal City Near Guard, underwent massive integration and cleansing, and Prince Chen, in order to strengthen his control over the army, naturally did not use the proud elderly in those armies, but chose an extra few strong men, because young people, not deeply rooted and easy to control. And this Alpai, one of the beneficiaries.

From a commander to a general, it only took him more than two years. And he's still in the Imperial Guard of the Royal City!

However, Dewey herself is the kind of guy who gets promoted at a terrible rate. Dewey himself is the empire's biggest "Young Man” if you say "Young Man”. Now encountering a similar typical young strong faction, this guy should have respected himself as much as possible if he was smarter. After all, although this Northwest War did not expressly appoint Dewey as its commander, Dewey is now the highest rank among the commanders of several armies on the battlefield. Reasonably, this Alpai should also show a little respect to Dewey.

But it was Dewey's idea!

Dewey, in front of Governor Andrei and Bohan, sent someone out to the Royal City Near Guard barracks outside the city to “please” this General Alpai into the city. And the man who sent him came back very quickly —— he came back alone, and he brought back the reply from General Alpai.

“Although I admire the Duchess for a long time, during the war, the military was busy and I regret not being invited! ”

This answer came back and stunned Andrei and Bohan - this Alpai, such courage!

But when Dewey heard it, his face was silent, and then he nodded and just smiled.

Hmm, this is a clear and implicit statement: you are not my boss, you do not have the right to order me to see you, you can only invite me, but I do not have time to accept your invitation!

Speaking of which, this Alpai is definitely cross enough.

Dewey is not a reckless man, by virtue of his present status and status in the Empire. If this guy dares to set himself up like this, then he must be bullied.

“What a big shelf!!” It was Andrei who was angry. He suffered extra losses under his command today because of the Royal City Guard's efforts to seize power. He naturally held a fire in his heart. Moreover, he had great respect for Dewey in his heart. Even Dewey's face was not given to this guy. He had to be angry: “Humph! But a small division chief is so arrogant? Duke, you wait. I'll take you to the Garrison camp and tie this guy up! ”

He was a fiery temper and immediately walked out, but Dewey laughed, walking two steps, stopping Andrei, comforting the two armies, pulling him, and then said: “Forget it, after all, he is not my subordinate, and it is reasonable not to be ordered by me. ”

Adjacent Governor Bohan sighed, his eyes slightly complicated, bowed to Dewey and slowly said: “Duke, in that case, this breath can only be swallowed. Alas...”

Dewey knew what Bohan was worried about. After the Northwest Army settled, his governor, the Governor of Nurin province, had no value to continue to exist. Besides, he is not yet a member of Prince Chen's class. Without the Northwest Army, he will inevitably lose his authority. Even if Prince Chen was a monarch with a relatively British name, he would not cut his official position directly, but it was expected that he would be relocated from the position of Governor and given a blank position of light ascension and dark descent.

This time, the Royal City Guard saw no help on the battlefield, watching Bohan's army get damaged and not move. Bohan feared that it was the Emperor's intention, weakening the power in his hands.

Ridiculous... I don't have rebellious thoughts, what's the point of weakening my strength so much? Lugo's 200,000 artificial rebellions have been levelled. How many troops am I in Bohan?

“But!” Andre couldn't help but look at Dewey. "Did you just swallow that breath? You can tolerate it. I can't tolerate the Storm Corps! The dead and wounded are all the same. Why was his kung fu taken by the Kingsguard? More than 10,000 beheading? I'm going to fucking Alpai!! I've never seen anything so shameless before! ”

Du Wei Yin smiled, but said slightly: “General Andrei, you are wrong... General Alpai just sent me the request for praise... approval is not approved, but it is not settled yet! Besides, have you forgotten? I, Dewey, am not the commander in chief of this war. I have no right to decide this praiseworthy military language. We have to send it to Commander-in-Chief of the Emperor to make a decision! He can write an application form, can't you? Can he write 10,000? Can't you write 20,000? ”

Dewey said this and stunned Andrei. To be honest, General Andrei was a strict soldier and a knightly spirit. This false praise was not something he had not seen in the army, but had never done himself at first. And what's more, such a naked false statement?

“Well, I'm afraid not, Duchess. The total number of Northwest Army casualties is less than 20,000… if I say so. ”

Dewey hummed, “He's the first. You're the fifteenth. What are you afraid of? Don't you know how to write? Also, you wrote 20,000 beheading... well, how many of us were captured today in World War I? So, 30,000 prisoners, you storm army and Governor Bohan split up. You write 20,000 for Storm Legion prisoners and 10,000 for Governor Bohan! ”

Minutes?

Andre has never heard of such a “distribution” of military power in his mind.

But Dewey had already turned around, picked up the pen, brushed the brush and wrote a scale. Having Andrei sign, Andrei hesitated for a moment and remembered the actions of the Royal City Guard on the battlefield today, together with Dewey's deliberate words beside him: "Wouldn't General Andrei like to ask for some extra pensions for the men who were killed and wounded? ”

As soon as that was said, Andrei made up his mind. Write your name on this application form. Bohan looked at Dewey and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it and wrote his name down.

Finally, Dewey signed at the end of this thing.

“Send this thing to the Emperor! Humph, by then, everyone will go to the commander's office to fight the case! Signature of the three of us, how can the weight exceed his Alpai alone! It's a little too much, but it's his provocation, and it's no wonder we did it first. ”

Andrei was a rectal person and then left. But Bohan stayed and seemed to have something to say to Dewey.

“Duchess.” After sending Andrei away, Bohan slowly walked over, shut the door, turned around, looked at Dewey and looked slightly worried: “I'm afraid it's not right for you to do this. ”

Dewey smiled lightly: "What's wrong? ”

“The Alpai, if he dares to do such a thing, must have relied on it. He is certainly not a fool to serve as the general of the Imperial City Guard. He dares to do so too much, there must be some reason, and..."

Dewey sighed too: "Governor Bohan, you and I have been in the northwest for more than two years. How can we have a little friendship? There are no other people here, so just say so. ”

Bohan grinned twice: “He Alpai saw death today, I was angry, not surprisingly, he dared to do so on the battlefield, mostly in the meaning of Emperor Tori, so it seems that he would come down within a month at most if he told me to leave the post. ”

Dewey nodded, and everyone knew that without saying much.

“It's this alpai... Grand Duke, think about it, he dares to do it, just because someone is behind his back to support his waist. As you are now, even the Regent will give you some face. Who would be so arrogant in front of you if you were a prince in the empire? Besides, in the military, I have not never heard of this kind of thing, but it is rare to do something so blatant and so naked without covering it up. I'm afraid... someone has instructed him to do this - dare play this trick under your eyelids, I'm afraid the person behind him weighs a lot..."

Duwihaha smiled: "Governor Bohan, as I said, you don't have to go around the circle like that. I know what you mean. Are you worried that the Wang Chengjin Guard dares to do this? ”

“Isn't that right?” Bohan smiled softly and looked into Dewey's eyes: “Dewey, you and I are in a relationship. I'm leaving the northwest anyway. Before I leave, I have a few words of advice for you. Since ancient times, the crowd has questioned the truth, remember. Once upon a time, you had 100,000 troops in the Northwest, and the military regime was in charge, and you did so much good, but because of the threat of the Northwest Army, the Empire naturally tolerated you in order to rely on you to hold the Northwest Army. But now that the Northwest Army is gone -- although it may not necessarily fall on you to hide all the birds, the center has never allowed a place to have too much power. Otherwise, they wouldn't be worried about a second Northwest Army Lugo? You have 100,000 troops now, and here in the northwest you have enormous human expectations. I'm afraid..."

After a pause, he slowed down: “Originally, this battle, for reasons of reason, you are the strongest, the highest rank, and should reasonably have appointed you to a commanding position. But a wise man like the King of Regents deliberately omitted to do so, only to give you an overall name, a specific position of commander, without mentioning it. Was it accidental? The Royal City Near Guard has always been the most trusted and relied upon army in the centre. This time the Royal City Near Guard so grabbed the kung fu, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not the central meaning, allowing their most trusted Near Guard to fight for kung fu, and finally sealing the reward, it naturally divides the kung fu of our people. I'm afraid it means suppressing you too. ”

After all this, Bohan didn't stop, he nodded to Dewey: "That's all I'm saying, and the rest, you naturally have a point in mind, so I won't say much. ”

Then Bohan left and left Dewey alone in the room.

Half a minute later, Dewey sighed, looked at the ceiling, and said to himself: "Bohan, you said both good points, but there is still a third one... The Regent did this, clearly trying to cultivate this alpai! Prince Chen, what does he want? By levelling the Northwest Army, giving this Alpailli a big standing ovation and then holding him up? Preparing for the big war in the next two years?

After a while, Philip came to Dewey, looked at Dewey and thought to himself, and asked him a few questions. Dewey didn't hide it from his best staff, so he told them about it. Phillip smiled a little after listening: "Duke, this is clear. I'm afraid it was the Regent who deliberately cultivated this Alpai who wanted to make him a new nobility. ”

Dewey nodded: "Just like you wanted to hold me back? ”

“That's nature.” Philip pondered a little: “In just three years, my lord, you will be the Duke of the Empire, in charge of one side of the military junta, rich in enemies. These, while you have your own efforts and wisdom in them, can speak of the root causes or rely on the support and trust of the Regent. And now, the Northwest Army has fallen, and you... honestly, Duke, you are strong enough. Throughout the history of the Empire, at any given time, if a man could possess such strength as you, even the heavy-handed marshals in the history of the Empire, would immediately have to cut back on their military power, and then rise high. So the monarch can rest assured! But now, the Regent still depends on you to serve him. If he can't cut your strength, he can only bring one more person out to restrain you! The new nobility of the Empire, if you were alone, would be long, afraid that you would affect the status of the royal family. Bringing out a new prize is also a means of balance, nothing new. I think this Alpai is afraid it's not easy to come from. Humph... Don't forget, my lord, the leader of the new main battle regiment, the Thunder God Whip, has not yet been appointed! Now, I'm afraid it's probably this Alpai. With the help of the battle to calm the Northwest Army, combined with the Regent's deliberate cultivation, who can object to appointing him as the commander of the Thunder God's whip? ”

After a pause, Philip looked at Dewey's calm expression and frowned: “My lord, you seem to understand these things yourself… but why did you deliberately ask General Andrei and Governor Bohan to write that letter of thanks...”

“I did it on purpose.” Dewey laughed. “Who in the emperor doesn't know what I'm like? If Alpai was so arrogant in front of me, if I had nothing to do with it, I was afraid that I'd let some heart-to-heart guy get carried away. It makes sense to make such a scene on purpose. Well, it's just that we can't compete with the alpai most of the time. ”

“That's for sure. If the Regent really wanted to cultivate this guy, then the military will definitely fall on him. ”

Philip looked into Dewey's eyes and said with a low voice, "My lord, you did the right thing!” He slowed down: “Now that we have guessed that this Alpai is only afraid of the new nobility that the Regent is about to bring, you are deliberately making such a scene by sending a signal to everyone that you are not in a good relationship with Alpai! Imagine, if you and General Alpai, the two newcomers, if the relationship is too harmonious, I'm afraid the Regent is upset! ”

Dewey blinked, looked at Philip, and patted him on the shoulder: "Well, you write me another paper accusing the military of allowing soldiers to slaughter prisoners of war by the Royal Near Guard, General Alpai, causing a little mayhem. The wording was stricter. After you finished, sign it and send it to the Emperor. Since it's an act, let's make it real. ”

•

The Wang Cheng Near Guard stayed outside the city for a day and immediately pulled out. Before leaving, they sent men into the city to ask for military rations from Duviso. Duviso waved a large sum, how much the other party wanted, and Duvis ordered only half. The Royal Citadel Guard also seemed to know that they had lost money and had moved the food without a word. And that General Alpai, from beginning to end, didn't even come to see Dewey. It's disrespectful.

But Dewey didn't seem angry. Because Philip said to him, "I'm afraid this Alpai is also a wise man, and the more he behaves out of harmony with himself, the more the Regent will devote himself to him! If he behaves too respectfully and intimately to himself now, he's afraid the Regent will change his mind immediately. Hold him up just to balance his strength, if he's too close to himself, it's stupid!

After the Royal City Guard pulled out, Dewey was too lazy to care about him.

Finally, on this day, Dewey received a message that he had been waiting for days!

Rodriguez is back!

The Silver Xiao Jiansheng returned alone, and his face was not very good. When I got back, Rodriguez brought Dewey some bad news...

When the cavalry under Rugau was exterminated on that day, two saints were responsible for intercepting Rugau over the battlefield. And while Lugo is also strong, he is still far from the perverted realm of the White River. Under the clamp of two saints, he can only go far and lose.

And Lu Gao also thought it was really decisive, seeing that his army had been defeated, he didn't turn back to look for the Guhuadoro Round, he made a decisive decision, abandoned his defeated army, and fled to the west alone!! Anyway, defeated, the collapse of the cavalry has failed his entire battle plan, and it makes no sense to go back and rendezvous with Gujadoro. Rugo fled westwards, and under the close pursuit of Rodriguez and Hussein, the three went westwards, fighting and running, traversing the entire Tessa province, and even crossed the city of Lulang, heading straight into the northwest corridor!

Lugo is also a strong generation, but also a frost fighter and big snow mountain witchcraft. With the pursuit of two saints, it was possible to sustain them for so many days.

The last three men left the northwest corridor and entered the desert area outside the Kilimaro Mountains. If they continued to run forward, they would cross the desert and enter the northwest prairie. And then, finally, Rodriguez and Hussein caught up with Lugo!

Three jihadists fought in the desert, and as a result, Hussein stabbed Lu Gao with a sword. He also cut off Lu Gao's right hand's thumb on the spot. Lu Gao was badly wounded and killed. Hussein was also cut with a sword in the back. This sword almost cut off the back of the saint.

Rugau took the opportunity to escape and was unable to pursue Hussein after he was seriously injured, while Rodriguez could only bring Hussein back. First, Hussein was sent straight to Lulancheng to feed the wounded, and Rodriguez returned alone.

“Hussein's injuries are not much of a problem, but I'm afraid it will take a while to repair. As for Lugo... this guy is so cunning, and his frost fighting is amazing. The two of us worked together to stop him. He was stabbed through his right chest by the sword in Hussein's stab, and eventually a sword cut off his right thumb, even if he was wounded, his strength would be compromised in the short term. It's just a shame, he ran away in the end...”

Dewey nodded: “Well, I get it. Actually, I should have thought about this guy Lugo... well, I should have told him to cut off the water. His biggest enemy in his life was the White River. He was afraid that he would try to lead the troops west into the meadow this time. He also wanted to rely on his 70,000 cavalry to flourish and wave on the meadow. Most of his final target was the Great Snow Mountains. Now he runs back to the meadows alone, and by his nature, he certainly won't give up revenge. I'm afraid we'll be stuck in the dark for a while. But after all, the grasslands are the land of the White River, the ability of the White River to grieve, you and I both know. With the White River troubled, Lugo may not live. ”

Though Dewey also deeply regretted, after all, he let Rugo go. If this guy secretly sought revenge on himself, what kind of assassination and other things, with his ability, he would probably have trouble! Though I am pretty good now and I have a lot of good people around me, after all, I have family, friends and fiancée, and if Lugo does something to those people, I can't help it... I have a headache.

But looking at Rodriguez's pale face, Dewey knew he couldn't be blamed, after all, he and Hussein had done their best. Lugo is the disciple of the former Witch King, the sad brother of the White River, and I'm afraid his strength is still on the Blue Sea of Rodriguez's teacher.

After giving Rodriguez a break, Dewey frowned for a while, thought for half a day, and sighed, sending a secret letter to Saladin in the meadow, telling the guy to keep an eye out, there was no other way for Dewey to think about it.

It's not good news, but Dewey is still cheering up, after all, he has a lot to do right now.

The captured cavalry of the Northwest Army has been handed over to Lombardon for integration. Papers requesting credit are long overdue.

And Dewey had an important thing at heart.

Sebasta!

This guy, who has become a beast, has been magically banned from his own home in the city since Dewey captured him.

In the past few days, Dewey has tried several ways not to wake up Sebasta's mind, a poor guy who has lost all his memory and completely turned into a beast without wisdom - left alone, I'm afraid, that much fear for himself.

But even so, Dewey was surprised by Sebastian's strength. Especially after killing those court magicians, Sebastian seemed to evolve immediately. Originally he was only good at frost fighting, but now he has a hidden combination of light and dark magic fluctuations!

And his weird physique, Dewey, is also very curious.

In the last few days, Dewey has taken time to do some research, and he has even drawn a little bit of Sebastian blood out of it —— Dewey has already made a simple microscope based on her previous life's knowledge to study Sebastian's blood. Unfortunately, Dewey's own knowledge in this area was almost blank and nothing was found.

But one day he suddenly wondered, had two dogs brought out, took out a little bit of Sebasta's blood, first gave a dog a few drops to drink, and then the poor dog, less than a moment later, blew up and died, extremely miserable. Dewey took out a simple needle he had made and injected a few drops of blood into another dog.

A moment later, the dog changed, became insane and irritable, and became several times more powerful, and almost broke the cage that connected it! Small thumb thick iron stick, bite it off! The whole body also became extremely tough, and the soldiers around them cut off seven or eight swords before chopping the dog to death.

The result surprised Dewey. However, he was still a fog, and he secretly went through the notes left by the previous Witch King, Gulanchou, to look for some “perfect body” records, which he unfortunately did not find at all.

He immediately remembered in his heart the secret passage under the Governor's Palace in the city of Gilliant, as if there were bodies of strange creatures that had been tested by the former Witch King Gulanchow.

Unfortunately, now that things are busy in his hands, he intends to take Sebastian with him as soon as things are done here, to Gillatte City, re-enter the secret passage, exhume the bodies of those strange creatures, and study them.

Early in the morning of the fourth day after the war, after Dewey had signed a few documents, he sent another final statistic of the results to the Emperor. He was relieved, but a voice came out the door, and the Lester boy Muse asked to see him.

Muse?

Dewey listened, and the corner of his unconscious mouth slightly pulled.

This guy, he's tangled up with himself on the front line, but how can he really let this guy go to war?

Over the past few days, Dewey has given him a leisurely messenger to search around with his cavalry team and hunt down the defectors of the Northwest Army who had fled the battlefield. The task is not very dangerous. And Dewey sent thousands of people, searching around for over two hundred miles, and finally sent this guy far away to keep himself out of trouble.

In a tulip-flavored cavalry uniform, Muse walked into the room, kneeling first and offering a standard military service to Dewey: "The Duchess. ”

Dewey sat behind the table, lifted his eyelids and looked at the kid... He looked tired, but the eyes in one of his eyes were very spiritual, it seemed to be a few days of sharpening, but let him enjoy it.

“Have you finished your business?” Dewey faintly said, "I ordered a search for twenty days, and it's only been a few days since you came back? Don't forget, Muse, your current status as a little ten-man rider, without the orders of your superiors, is against military law. ”

Muse snorted, his face “I knew you'd say that” and he shouted out his head: "Duchess! I didn't leave the battlefield in private, and this time I rushed back because... I had a huge gain! ”

“Oh?” Dewey dropped his pen.

“I caught a big fish! Real big fish!!” The excitement of Muse's face: “Duchess, I can't believe it! You can't regret your decree of reward!! ”

Dewey frowned: “What big fish did you catch? ”

Muse blinked: "Northwest Army Reverse Number Two! Gu Huadoro!! ”
