Chapter 167: The Duke's Duties


Chapter 167 When Roddy strode in, Andy was lazily lying on the soft couch on the top balcony of the palace castle, holding a glass of fresh milk in one hand and a fresh "newspaper" in the other, the morning sun had just risen in the sky, and the skeleton emperor sighed contentedly: "This is a happy life" Then he glanced back at Roddy: "Boy, come to me so early, what's going on?"

Roddy glanced at Andy twice and said bluntly: "How long will I be the Duke of Tulip?"

Andy didn't speak.

Luo Di already showed an impatient expression: "Thor's whip has also taken over, Yanjing's opposition has also been swept away, the Marquis of Caroline has been hiding at home for the past few days and is afraid to go out, what else does it take me, Duke Tulip, I don't want to live in other people's faces anymore, and readers are already a little tired" Andy slowly put down what he was holding, got up from the soft couch, and walked back into the room.

"I know you're getting impatient."

Andy seemed to sigh: "But you have to be patient for a while" He smiled: "Now that the situation has just stabilized, we still need a Tulip Duke to shake the scene" Roddy frowned, and just about to say something, Andy had already preemptively said: "Boy, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you want to get rid of this identity as soon as possible and then you can go to the Pope for trouble, right, I'll tell you, it's not time yet" Andy sighed: "Do you think I like the Divine Cult very much" His tone gradually became serious: "The spiritual world ruled by the Divine Cult has a history of thousands of years, and you alone can compete with them, how can you compete with them, how can the powerhouses of the realm be destroyed in front of the séance techniques of the Pope and those bishops, do you think you can beat them?"

Roddy's eyes lit up: "No matter what, I will not let go of Corsica VI" "If you don't let him go, he won't let you go" Andy frowned: "Have you forgotten the dragon on your body, that chick of the Silver Moon Clan won't let you go, do you think that the Church of God has let go of a person who has inherited the demon dragon, you have forgotten the grudge between the demon dragon and the gods" Andy's eyebrows were a little worried: "Sooner or later, they will know that the stronger your strength is, the more the dragon qi will be unable to hide, and when the time comes, if you don't go to the Pope, he will also find you, why do they want to deal with Mr.

Qiu is because he is a member of the Kara tribe, and in their eyes, you are more alien than Mr.

Qiu."

Roddy said coldly: "Then how about the spear of Dracula, I must take it" His tone was a little flamboyant: "What else is the blood of the gods" Andy said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you boy, when you face a strong enemy, if your strength is not enough to defeat the opponent, then you better not do it first and be patient, endure until your strength is strong enough, and then decide the victory in one fell swoop is the right way."

Roddy frowned: "What should I do then?"

Andy smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten the fable that the vultures said?"

A deep smile appeared on his face, and he slowly whispered, "The thousand-year-old shackles have gradually decayed, and the devil's eyes will be on the earth.

The blood of the emperor will eventually solidify, and a vicious curse will wrap around every piece of light.

They spread calamity everywhere with their curses, and they spread death throughout the earth with calamities.

The blood of the gods will wash down the temple, and the withering of the thorn flower will take away the end of it all. ” Roddy's eyes flashed: "The shackles of a thousand years are gradually decaying, what kind of shackles is that, does it mean that the imprisoned devil's eyes on the demon dragon are looking at the earth, the devil, not the demon dragon, but Kara."

Anyway, in the eyes of the people of the Divine Cult, these two are the bloodlines of the Devil Emperor, and now that the emperor of the empire is dead, Balang's son is also dead.

The queen's child is not the bloodline of the Thorn Flower family at all, so this sentence can also explain the withering of the Thorn Flower, needless to say, the blood of the god washed down the temple.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Andy's mouth: "Collapse the temple, don't you understand, that is to say, the temple will definitely be destroyed in the future" "The blood of the gods" Luo Di suddenly said: "The blood of the gods, what is it, is it the blood of the gods, but when will the gods appear, how can they make him bleed?"

Andy sighed and shook his head: "Well, I don't know about this.

But you may know that you don't have a lot of strange things in your head inexplicably, how to make the gods bleed, I guess the demon dragon will know better, haha. ” Roddy frowned and said, "What kind of curse and disaster, what the hell are you talking about?"

A strange look flashed in Andy's eyes, but that glimmer of gaze only flashed, and then he snorted and said with a smile: "We don't understand these things for a while, and we are not in a hurry, but now I hope you can bear the surname to come to me and say, the longer you have to endure it, in order to slap your enemies more forcefully in the future, I have told you many times, don't you understand?"

Luo Di was silent and said slowly: "Patience is patience, I can endure it temporarily, but I really don't want to continue to pretend to be this Tulip Duke's identity." ” He raised his head, looked straight at Andy, and said word by word: "I want to be myself, I want to be Roddy" Luo Di said lightly: "I don't know what your plan is, but if you want me to do something, it's best to tell me first."

He approached Andy step by step: "I don't like the feeling of being controlled and controlled, this matter is not resolved for a day, I am not at ease for a day." ” Andy shook his head: "Don't you have a ten-year appointment with Dark, and now there is Royanthal in the northwest, and the mountains in the south, well, don't worry about the mountains, the vultures are dead, and the mountains will be the world of the Silver Moon tribe from now on."

Looking at the way that Light Moon Dance looks at you, it is estimated that she is embarrassed to go against you and the Roland Continent in the north."

The more Luo Di listened, the more gloomy his face became, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If I pacify the Northwest Grassland, will I be free?"

Andy suddenly smiled: "Rochenthal, it's very useful not to deal with him first, in my plan, he should be a very useful stepping stone, a stepping stone to set off the hero."

Andy grinned, and then his expression gradually became weird: "Well, it will soon satisfy you Now that Seth is really gone, there is no need for this person to continue to exist."

Roddy's heart moved: "There is no need to continue to exist" Andy smiled weirdly: "Boy, I promise you, let you be yourself, be Roddy, but, have you ever thought that while you are Roddy, you can also be Duke Tulip, I promise you, return your true face, and promise you that you can be with Nicole with peace of mind, but this Duke Tulip, you still have to continue to be." ” Andy leaned over and whispered something in Roddy's ear Roddy didn't smile, and there was no trace of a relaxed expression on his face, he suddenly glanced at Andy very strangely, and said slowly: "Andy, no matter what you're going to do, I said it, don't try to control me anymore."

Don't make me do things I don't like to do."

Andy said coldly: "For Nicole, don't you want to?"

Roddy glanced at Andy deeply, suddenly showed a smile, and said lightly: "Okay, just, Andy, I hope you won't make me regret it" After Roddy left, the smile on Andy's face gradually disappeared, and he sighed: "This kid has more and more ideas of his own, but, alas, the damn curse and disaster in the prophecy, is it you, what an interesting thing, disaster" The Caroline Marquis was well aware of his current situation.

The matter of Yanjing has been spread, and the news has spread to all corners of the empire, and now everyone understands that the Lionheart family, which was originally favored by the emperor in the empire, is about to fall There was a lot of traffic in front of the door, but now it is a crowd.

Those who used to befriend themselves now avoid the Marquis's Mansion even when they walk.

But the Marquis Caroline is, after all, an old fox in politics, and he understands: until the end, no one knows whether to lose or win After all, now the emperor's attitude towards himself has changed, but the Northern Army still has military power in his own hands, so the emperor doesn't dare to really treat himself, besides, he has worked hard for so many years, and his influence in the imperial officialdom is not something that can be eliminated No matter what the reason, as long as he supports himself, then there will be opportunities in the future The Tulip family has been suppressed by the emperor for so many years, and in the end they can stand up again, so can the Lionheart family Of course, the first thing is how to keep the military power in the hands of the family Miro is in the Northern Army and Reuben is in the Northwest Army is also the commander of the legion, Reuben said to withdraw and withdraw, that is because he is stupid and a reckless martial artist, and he does not know how to cultivate his own forces, of course he can't stand But Miró is the successor that the Marquis of Caroline has spent countless efforts to cultivate, whether it is strategy and scheming, he is enough to be in charge, he has run a very good business in the Northern Army over the years, and it can be basically said that he has controlled the military heart.

Those forces belonging to the military command have basically been hollowed out by him.

Miró of the Northern Army is exactly what he said.

In this case, is it so easy for the emperor to remove him The Caroline Marquis sneered.

Ziggy had been promoted to the deputy commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, but he, the deputy corps, did not have the slightest expression of joy.

Looking at the team of people under them, they are also worthy of being called "Thor's Whip" It's just a joke Those commanders, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, and their ability to count money is stronger than their ability to fight, and Qi Ge only watched the drill in the army once, and his face was almost pale, and the original Central Cavalry Corps had not had a large-scale drill for a long time, and Qi Ge was only playing in the Wolf Tooth Army.

Although I knew that other military camps had been corrupted in military discipline, but to what extent it was bad, I finally opened my eyes.

A simple march in formation, a dozen of a hundred soldiers twisted their feet, and more than a dozen of them were trampled on their shoes.

There were also people who rushed, but when they rushed to the end, they found that the scimitar in their hands didn't know when they lost Ziggy, and their noses were almost crooked.

Luo Di didn't say a word, he stood aside coldly, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"Let all the officers line up," Roddy said coldly.

Then he looked at the commanders beside him, who had long been pale, and said coldly: "Look at what I said about the officers lining up, didn't you hear?"

More than a dozen commanders and deputy commanders hurriedly ran down, and the war horses brought by their own soldiers brought weapons, and Luo Di also walked down, first turned over his horse, looked coldly at the subordinates beside him who looked uncertain, and said coldly: "You are all the commanders and commanders of the Central Cavalry Legion, and many of you were originally excellent soldiers selected from other legions, are the soldiers you bring today at this level Now I let you play in front of me again, according to the array of the march, I will say it first, you can not do it, If you don't want to do it, go down and get out of the Central Cavalry Regiment and take off your uniform."

No one spoke.

Luo Di took a deep breath: "If you want to leave, I will definitely not stop you, but I will come to see it in three days, I don't watch the soldiers' performances, I will first see the officers who can't do it, and everything will be executed according to the wartime decree" His eyes were as cold as ice, and he said fiercely: "Thor's whip does not leave garbage" After saying that, he rode his horse and left first, without looking at the people.

Qi Ge rode up and followed, his face was worried, and he couldn't help but say: "Lord Duke, this doesn't seem to be good, these people all have status, and there are many family backgrounds behind them, which is equivalent to driving them out of the Central Cavalry Legion."

Now although the Duke is said to be trusted by His Majesty, I am afraid that those families will make trouble, and Your Majesty will also" Luo Di said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this. ” Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the old skeleton, what am I going to do now, he will object Ziggy was still worried: "It's just that Lord Duke's approach seems to be too intense, it's better to spend time training well, with my Zige, I can always train them into a qualified Thor's whip."

Luo Di suddenly stopped his horse, glanced at Zige, and then said: "Zige, the current Central Cavalry Legion, has completely rotted" His expression was a little strange: "It can be said that these people, from soldiers to officers, are not soldiers at all for the generous military salary of Thor's whip, and the officers are just a bunch of scum in order to embezzle more military supplies."

Think about it, if they had a little bit of combat effectiveness, would the process of us entering the city that day be so smooth?"

his tone gradually became solemn: "Think about it, if it was not us who broke into the city that day, but a group of enemy troops, the cavalry of the steppe Rochenthal, could these people resist I'm afraid that they would collapse in less than a moment or three."

Luo Di sighed: "I admit that there are prodigal sons in this world, and there are bad people who will become good people, but after all, they are a minority, in my opinion, instead of wasting time trying to reorganize this army, it is better to replace all those garbage" Speaking of this, Luo Di said lightly: "Not only these officers, but also those soldiers, don't say anything about Thor's whip, even the standard of ordinary soldiers is not enough to spend time on them, it is better to rinse and select new blood in the local garrison" Ignoring Zigger's expression, Luo Di said lightly: "Pass my order, re-enact in three days, and like today, all of them will be executed and everything will be executed according to the wartime military order, so let them take off this military uniform for me and get out of the barracks."

"Three days" Zigger's eyes widened: "These people can't practice in three days."

Roddy sneered: "I didn't let them practice, I didn't expect them to practice at all, I gave them three days, I let them get out, let those guys get out of here in order to get military salaries, I don't want to give them another chance at all, Thor's Whip is a proud name, and the opportunity is given to those who are qualified to get it" Duke Tulip's military order was handed down, and there was immediate chaos in the barracks.

The soldiers are almost mutinied, especially those who are just trying to mix the salaries of the army, and they will have nothing to eat in the future, so how can they do it But Roddy had expected that 10,000 heavily armed Wolf Tooth troops were guarding outside the barracks.

If there is a disturbance, immediately grab a military stick.

As a result, under the single-handed work of Luo Di, the largest large-scale soldier discharge event in the history of the empire produced nearly 200,000 Central Cavalry Corps, and finally after selection, only less than 50,000 people remained, and the rest all took off their military uniforms and became civilians.

From now on, life and death will depend on yourself The Tulip Duke's Mansion was almost crushed by the families led by those large and small officers, and countless pleas and bribes were blasted out by Roddy, and finally simply let the guard Rand lead a team of people to guard the door of the Duke's Palace.

Those who have some forces in the family finally couldn't bear it, and if the soft ones didn't work, they came hard, and tried to unite to put pressure on Roddy, but Roddy didn't even look at it, and just threw a sentence to Rand: "There are rude guys, fight out and throw this street" The next day, a group of nobles with blue noses and swollen faces ran to the emperor to complain that they were too bullying, even Duke Tulip couldn't be so arrogant, they were all nobles, so many families, just let him fight But the emperor's words made them completely cold: "In this matter, you can go to Duke Tulip to communicate with each other." ” There were also crying and crying trying to win the emperor's sympathy in this way, but His Majesty the emperor didn't even bother to look at it, and the guards directly blasted them out of the palace.

In this way, the Central Cavalry Legion, which was originally known as the most powerful and elite of the four main legions of the empire, the famous "Thor's Whip", after rectification, there were only 50,000 people left, including the 20,000 wolf tooth army that was reassigned to Thor's Whip.

And the reserve department of the empire is busy, and it wants to recruit 150,000 reserves in one breath, and it is also into the "Thor's Whip", the selection work is big, Duke Tulip has already spoken, and the selection work must be meticulous, if you want to stuff any cats, dogs, and four people into the "Thor's Whip", let alone enter the Thor's whip, wait for the Duke's whip first Those barons and viscounts who were driven out of the Central Cavalry Regiment by their noses and swollen faces are role models At a time when the Central Cavalry Corps was busy expanding, and the officers of the reserve department were busy almost all night.

Late at night, Roddy hid in the Duke's palace reading a book.

Nicole sat beside him, her face was a little melancholy, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Roddy, are you in such a hurry to rectify the Thor's whip, some things can't be done too much." ” Luo Di put down the book and smiled faintly: "I know that even Duke Tulip back then has never done such a thing."

He pointed to the book in his hand and said with a smile: "I have carefully studied the history of how the former Duke Tulip led his troops to war. ” Nicole sighed: "You have offended so many people all at once" Roddy shook his head and smiled, "Nicole, it's not me Roddy who offended people by mistake.

Yes Seth is Duke Seth of Tulip" Nicole was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is there any difference?"

"There's a big difference."

Luo Di sighed: "I'm in a hurry, so that I can be Luo Di a day earlier, I can only do this."

The sooner I finish doing what is supposed to be Duke Tulip, the sooner I will get my freedom" He couldn't help but gently grabbed Nicole's hand and said softly: "I don't want to be your brother, Nicole, I don't want to hold your hand, I have to secretly close the door, I want to be Roddy, I hope to be able to hold your waist and hold your hand in front of others, and when I want to kiss you, I can kiss you." ” With that, Roddy gently wrapped his arms around Nicole's waist and kissed her on the red lips.

Nicole looked at the hot eyes in Roddy's eyes, her cheeks were crimson, she gently hooked Roddy's neck, and said softly in an inaudible voice: "Roddy, I'll be your woman tonight, okay?"

The appeal of blood red is too amazing, and the position at the top of the list of face-changing warriors is in jeopardy To be continued:
