Chapter 538 [Innocence]

What is the fastest spreading thing in the world?

It's not a disease, it's not a virus, it's a message.

Whether it's good news or bad news, it spreads much faster than people think, as if it can be spontaneously transmitted through the air.

The news of hostile attacks on the northern Kabaski Line, like wings, soon spread inside the Empire and became the subject of conversation in Didu.

Legend has it that an unknown number of enemies, a new race, have emerged in the north of the empire, dressed in physical strength, fierce and brutal… have they been attacked by the Storm Legion?

This topic suddenly became a focal point at the end of the street alley. Everyone was talking about these things. At the end of the day, most people would be saddened: Fortunately, there's our powerful Storm Legion town guarding the border.

Indeed, in this age of no planes, no trains, no phones, no advanced means of communication, the North… even thousands of kilometres away, seems to be another world for people. While everyone is somewhat frightened by the adversary of this new monster, people are not deeply connected with their safety... After all, that happened thousands of kilometers away, far and far from themselves... isn't it?

In fact, rumours have shown the ferocity and brutality of these monster enemies, but they've heard that the Storm Legion has won some battles with these monsters - it's the Storm Legion! Of course! The brave armies of the Empire, even the beasts, won, not to mention some monsters.

In fact, this information was deliberately and unintentionally disseminated by the Imperial Army.

Prince Chen deeply understands the logic of "boiling frogs in warm water" … this logic was talked about by Dewey in the early years. Although the theory of "boiling frogs in warm water” has been tested, the frogs will not be boiled to death in water, but will jump out. However, this theory was very much endorsed by Prince Chen.

The best way to get everyone to accept a big piece of bad news is not to drag it all out in one go, but to say it out one at a time and make everyone accept it one at a time.

So, the current version of the message that came out after the imperial modification was that the monsters, though powerful, could be dealt with by the army, as if they were far less serious than the onslaught of warcraft two years ago.

The majority of the population still accepted the news calmly, without being frightened, to about the same extent: when they scared the children, they would say, "If you don't listen, the monster will eat you!” and so on.

The Light Temple also responded positively, and in the context of the Light Church, which had been silent since Charlie's new successor, some moves were finally made to satisfy the royal family in the face of this great event.

The latest news in the Temple is the proclamation of His Holiness the Great and Honourable Pope, a monster of the North, an evil heresy that betrays the Spirit, but the people of Roland, who have the protection of the Great Spirit, will surely destroy them! Because we are a people of God, God is on our side.

“I must say that religion is sometimes useful. ”

In the Imperial Military Academy, Dewey sits in his room —— oh, this is officially called Dean's Office.

Dewey leaned on the chair in front of his trusted little Zach and his brother Gabriel.

Gabriel, who has been promoted because of his outstanding college career over the past few months, is now a cadet but already holds the rank of Rider.

He sent a military newspaper with a commander-in-chief... Unlike folk news, this newspaper is a top secret document, which is a true report of the Storm Legion's search team completing a small-scale battle with the criminal army in the wild, without moisture!

Unlike folk news, I'm afraid this newspaper will really cause panic if it gets out! Because as any wise man can see, this newspaper at least reveals that the enemy is better at fighting than the most elite army in the empire! And... they eat people!

Demonic beasts also eat people, but they have no intelligence, so they are not terrible.

“The Church of Light did a good job this time.” Dewey laughed: “I hope they continue to work together… after all, this is also about their very existence. Now you're on a boat. ”

And then Dewey looked at Little Zach: "You did a great job, spreading the word, pinching it in increments. ”

“Boss, once the North opens, our business is hit hard. All the teams of hunters and beasts in the ice-covered forest are back, and our business revenues will be drastically reduced for a long time to come. ”

“We're not short of money right now.” Dewey laughed, "I'm afraid next month our fleet will be able to send in a new shipment of revenue from the Southern Ocean. As for the business of warcraft, the focus is on the southern marshes for the time being. The meat there, though skinny, is better than nothing. Let the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment go south, and I'll tell you about it..."

“The first vultures have all hatched. I have manned a hundred miles outside the city, and so far, so well, the first vultures have survived, although there has been little progress in domestication. After all, our trainers have no experience taming vultures. ”

“The Horse Tiger Air Knights have redeployed 200 reserves and will report to your place in the next two days.” Dewey said positively: “I value this and it matters to us! So put most of your energy into this for the time being, and keep it a secret. Are the trainers we're looking for reliable? ”

“Reliable.” Little Zach smiled: “The estate is now closed, no one is allowed in or out, and no news will come out. Moreover, Mr. Hussein was sitting in the town, and I am sure that no one could escape under his nose. ”

“Well, let our Air Knights Reserve Knights start touching the little vultures, taming begins with the young beasts, and the knights touch their mounts early. ”

After Dewey had finished, he told him a few other things and let little Zach go.

“Brother. ”

After little Zach left, Gabriel looked at Dewey's expression and seemed to have stopped saying things.

Gabriel looked stronger and darker in his months of camp career, but his waistplate was straight and he had a certain samurai style.

“What are you trying to say? ”

“Why keep it a secret?” Gabriel wonders: “If a vulture can be the mount of an air cavalry… is it bad that we don't inform the Empire about this? I mean, this is something that's going to be revealed in the future, and when the Empire thinks we're hiding it on purpose? ”

“I've handed over a lot of stuff.” Dewey sighed: “Northwest Independent Division, I handed it over. Over the years, large sums of gold coins were spilled to subsidize the Empire's finances. And gunpowder, although I didn't pay for the formula, is now open to the supply of the Imperial Army... we don't have many secret weapons left, Gabriel. To guarantee the status of the family, we must have several machines. The vulture army, not yet formed, is still under construction. The reason I didn't come up with it all at once was, first of all, I don't think it's a good idea to disclose it right now. I don't mind letting the royal family know, but... God knows how many church sights are in the palace! I'm just trying to keep this from the church. As for the second... I would also like to remind our great Regent that I, Dewey, can constantly create new figurines, constantly create miracles, and create new useful and valuable things! That way he can continue to value our family. If one day he senses that our family has been squeezed away by him, there is no new utilisation value... Hmm, think about it. ”

“But the Regent seems to have a lot of faith in you. ”

“But… he is not an emperor.” Dewey sighed.

He stood up himself, walked to the door, closed the door forcefully, and looked at his brother: “Gabriel, I always have a hunch, a hunch that I can't say for any reason, I don't have much basis, but...”

“What are you trying to say? Brother?”

“It's the Regent and our new King Charlie. ”

Dewey's face was serious, and he closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head: “I don't know how to put it, it was a strange feeling. I've been in contact with this little Emperor Charlie for some time, and when I was his teacher, I always felt... that this child, when he seemed to grow up, was not a wise monarch! ”

“What?” Gabriel's speculation about his brother was somewhat strange.

Now everyone in the empire is talking about Emperor Charlie, the aristocratic circle, and most people who have access to the royal family think that little Charlie, though young, is smart, wise, and has shown considerable wisdom at a young age.

“Do you remember that day, on the square, when I made that ‘miracle’ thing, and the Regent publicly announced the death of the old emperor and the legacy of the legacy?” Dewey suddenly laughed.

He stared at his brother: "Gabriel, before that day, our Regent had quietly told him to calm down and tell him something big was going to happen, although I don't know what the Regent said to his son. How much did I say... but Charlie was so calm that day! Even... I stood not far from him, and I could feel that he was hiding something... eager! ”

Dewey waved hard: "He's a very smart, very mature kid. But think about it... a child in his early teens, so early to desire the throne... that's unkind! ”

“Kids always have a temper.” Gabriel smiled: “When I was a kid, when you were a kid, didn't you like the temper of a kid with a big head? ”

“No, it's not like a kid with a temper.” Dewey sighed, carefully describing her mood: “That's longing! Desire for status and power! I wonder, such a boy, where his ambitions come from. Of course, the term ambition is inappropriate. But there is one more detail..."

Dewey's expression seemed to change a little, and his eyes flashed strangely, whispering: “I told you, the old emperor died a few months ago! The news kept hidden... and then I became Charlie's teacher for a long time in the palace! Of course, I don't know when Little Charlie found out about the old emperor's death... maybe a long time ago, or before the plaza passed. But..."

Dewey smiled as if: "If a normal kid, a 10-year-old kid, hears about his grandfather's death, even if he's old and smart, but in conscience, should he at least show some sadness? Even if Augustine VI wasn't very close to the Regent, any grandfather, for his grandson, would always be fine. But... I went into the palace to see him a few months ago when I was with him as his teacher, or after the passage of the throne... but this child has never revealed even the slightest tribute to his grandfather. ”

Dewey said here, he laughed himself off: “Don't tell me what this kid is smart or something... it's not about being smart or not, it's about being good in nature! Speaking of smart, that princess Karina, more intelligent in talent than Emperor Charlie, that little girl was just a little genius I'd ever met. But... I met the little girl twice later, and she showed a hint of sadness for losing her grandfather. His Majesty the Emperor Charlie is still laughing. It's time to ride horseback and play. ”

“Brother, do you mean...”

“I mean, our new emperor, His Majesty the Emperor... not benevolent! ”
