Chapter 481 "Variables"
Looking at the statue above him, the Elf King fell into deep thought. In fact, in the ten days since his return, he had been thinking about a question that he could not understand.
What is the goal of us Sinners for our future "return"?
Unlike the orc leaders whose minds were filled with vengeance, the Elf King personally went to the human world. In the few months he traveled, he saw with his own eyes the glory of the human civilization!
Tall cities, imposing city walls, buildings filled with the crystallization of wisdom, temples, palaces, cities, villages, small towns, impregnable passes, canals, developed waterways, powerful navies, the imperial capital, and … the northwest!!
The human population was several times that of the Sinners. Although, according to the simple way of thinking of the orcs, an ordinary orc could kill several strong human soldiers.
So for most orcs, their slogan was: Charge into the human world! Kill! Kill those guys! Then take back this continent! It originally belonged to us!!
So what if the human population is greater than ours? One of our soldiers can kill several times more people than theirs!
But after seeing the glory of the human civilization with his own eyes, even the proud Luo Xue had to admit that perhaps … it was possible to defeat the humans on the battlefield. But to "exterminate" the human race, that was almost impossible!
The Sinners were far from being that strong.
The human race had several times or even dozens of times more war potential. They might not have the powerful individual combat strength of the Sinners, but they had an almost endless reserve force and the resources of the entire continent as their backing.
They had a civilization and foundation developed over ten thousand years!
To exterminate such a race … relying on our own strength, can we do it?
And the Duke of the Tulip Family in the northwest …
Luo Xue thought of Du Wei's smiling face and his heart beat wildly. He was almost certain that on the battlefield in the future, the Duke of the Tulip Family would bring him many, many "surprises"!
"Great God, I need your guidance." Luo Xue sighed.
Suddenly, his heart beat fiercely as if he had sensed something. He raised his head and his expression suddenly changed!
The silver thread that had already been broken into two on the altar seemed to have jumped slightly … …

Far away in the North, the sinners were still preparing for the future invasion. The orcs were fantasizing about the future where they would be armed to the teeth with elite weapons. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions … such an army of orcs would flood into the Roland Continent like a tidal wave. What a wonderful scene it would be to vent the hatred they had accumulated for thousands of years on the heads of the humans.
The Elf King, on the other hand, was in seclusion in his Ancestral Hall. He didn't want to see anyone, not even the elders of the Elf Clan. As for the Elves, they waited outside the Sacrificial Hall day and night, waiting for their king to come out. They sang beautiful songs day and night, hoping that their king would reappear in front of them with a proud and elegant smile.
The beautiful singing of the elves and the clanging sounds of activity coming from the Shrines in the distance formed an interesting contrast.
Even further away, Domines was in high spirits as he waved his saber and shouted loudly, training his wolf riders …
This world … seemed like everything was about to change in the future.
However, for Du Wei, a sudden change came out of everyone's expectations!
Or perhaps, this was fate's arrangement! Very few people in the upper echelons of the Empire knew about the future of the sinners. The upper echelons of the Empire were secretly planning for the future war …
But at this moment, a subtle matter inadvertently messed up the situation!
•
Five hundred heavily-armed and heavily armoured Tulip cavalrymen were galloping towards the imperial capital.
Obviously, this was a team of elite cavalry that had undergone strict training. The Knight on the horse all straightened their backs. Their bodies were skillfully undulating along with the bumps of the horse's back to save as much energy as possible.
As for the formation, the three hundred people at the front spread out in a seemingly loose but vigilant and defensive formation. This kind of formation protected the carriage that was galloping at the back of the formation.
Behind the carriage were two hundred cavalrymen, who maintained an orderly formation as they galloped.
The carriage in the middle was filled with gorgeous colors!
In terms of size, this carriage was almost three times the size of an ordinary carriage. Six white horses that had undergone strict training pulled such a huge carriage, yet its speed did not seem to slow down in the slightest!
If there was an experienced mage present, then they would discover that when this carriage was galloping, the wheels at the bottom seemed to faintly emit magical waves. It was obvious that some kind of magic was used to reduce the weight of the carriage.
The luxurious carriage was made of the highest quality wood and the carriage was engraved with gilded patterns. The patterns covered the entire body of the carriage, as if they were the petals of some kind of flower.
If one were to look down from the sky, then one would discover that the entire carriage, including the patterns on the body of the carriage, looked like a blooming tulip flower from afar!
The wind magic on the wheels and hubs not only reduced the weight of the carriage, but also reduced the degree of the carriage's bumps.
Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, was leaning on a soft velvet blanket. His body was as soft as the clouds, and there was not the slightest bit of pain from the bumps. The slight undulation was like a cradle that urged one to sleep …..
However, at this moment, Du Wei was absolutely unable to sleep at all!
He was leaning there. Although his body was lazy, his hand was tightly holding onto a letter that had already been opened. The sealing wax on the letter had already been torn open by him. There was a golden thorn flower pattern on it, indicating that this letter was a secret of the highest level!
Du Wei held onto this letter. Although he had already read this letter a few times a few days ago before he set off, but at this moment, he still could not help but pinch it, frowning and thinking hard.
He was so lost in thought that a bottle of wine by his hand suddenly fell, and the bright red wine spilled onto his long robe. Only then did he react.
Smiling bitterly, Du Wei took off his outer robe and casually threw it out of the carriage window.
Soon, one of the accompanying Knight rushed to the side of the carriage. It was Du Wei's bodyguard, Old Smoke. In a low voice, he asked: "My Lord, do you have any orders?"
"Hmm … …" Du Wei pondered for a moment. His voice was very calm, but it carried an unquestionable tone: "Speed up a bit!"
Old Smoke immediately followed the order. Soon, after a whistle, the sound of whips could be heard … ….
The cavalry was galloping at full speed. In order to ensure the horse's power on the road, each of the cavalrymen brought two horses, so they did not have to worry about the horse's power consumption.
Du Wei sighed and closed the window. His eyes once again drifted to the letter in his hand.
The content of this letter was actually only one sentence.
"My father is critically ill, please return quickly!"
The signature below was:
Chen!
•
His Majesty Augustine the 6th is critically ill?
When Duwei saw this urgent letter, he didn't hesitate to take his men and set off.
Because he was very clear that Augustine the 6th's life was still very important right now! No matter how one looked at it, the Emperor, who had become a puppet, could not die!
He must not die!

Five hundred fully armed cavalrymen of the Tulip Family galloped on the imperial road. This kind of movement was naturally very arrogant. According to the imperial law, Du Wei bringing five hundred fully armed cavalrymen back to the imperial capital was a violation of the law.
Because Du Wei's status was equivalent to that of a local warlord, when he returned to the imperial capital for official business, the local military generals and governors were also not allowed to bring a large number of troops with them!
But Du Wei just had to bring an army. Five hundred cavalrymen, the most elite cavalrymen of the Tulip Family.
After many days and nights of running, when the five hundred cavalrymen arrived outside the Imperial Capital like a whirlwind, they had already attracted the attention and vigilance of the Imperial Capital's Imperial Guards. But after seeing the Tulip Family totem on the carriage, the imperial city's guards carefully maintained their silence and did not go up to stop them.
This was because two days ago, the imperial palace had issued an order that if the Tulip Family's carriage were to enter the imperial capital, no matter what, they were not to be stopped!
This meant that even if Du Wei returned with thousands of troops, they were to let him enter the imperial capital!
In order to welcome Du Wei, the imperial capital's western gate had been under military control since last night! The announcement was made that the western gate of the imperial capital was temporarily closed to civilians. If anyone wanted to enter or leave the imperial capital, they would have to go around the other gates.
And the western gate was specifically left for Du Wei!
When the imperial city's guards saw the Tulip Family's carriage from afar, they quickly opened the gates wide. As for the five hundred cavalrymen, they rushed into the city gates like a whirlwind and didn't even stop. As for the customs clearance documents, they did not even ask.
Although some of the imperial city's guards were somewhat dissatisfied with this, when they saw the five hundred cavalrymen rushing in and kicking up dust, the guards could not help but cough. They could not help but complain: "Damn it, isn't this just the private army of a local aristocrat? A motley crew like them dares to be arrogant in front of our imperial city's imperial city's guards! "
But such words immediately attracted the disdain of the veteran officer: "Motley crew? Humph, you idiot! Look at the breed of warhorses they are riding! Those are the best warhorses from the prairie. Their armor is even better than our imperial city's elite division. Also, did you not see the short crossbows on their horses? Humph, apart from the Empire's elite division, I have never seen any other army equipped with such things! Motley crew? You idiot, the equipment of a single cavalryman is worth as much as twenty of our soldiers! "
"No way! Isn't this just the private army of a local aristocrat? How can they have such good equipment? I'm afraid that even the imperial city's imperial guards do not have such good equipment! "
"Imperial Army?" The veteran officer sneered: "Who doesn't know that the richest man in the continent is the Duke of the Tulip Family!! As long as you have money, what kind of equipment can't you get? I heard that the Tulip Family's private army's pay is twice as high as ours. "
•
This group of cavalry charged through the streets of the Imperial Capital until they reached the entrance of the Imperial Palace. Only then did they stop.
Before the carriage even came to a stop, Du Wei had already pushed open the door and jumped down. This action startled Elder Smoke.
But following Du Wei's gaze, Elder Smoke looked back and saw the real ruler of the empire, the Regent Prince Son personally coming out and standing in front of the imperial city's gates!
Although they are no longer part of the imperial guards, and Elder Smoke has long been filled with despair and disgust towards the royal family, he still immediately ordered everyone to dismount and kneel in the direction of Prince Son.
Du Wei almost trotted all the way to the front of Prince Son. There was a faint trace of worry and anger in this prince's eyes. His complexion also looked a little pale. It's obvious that he hasn't rested well for the past few days.
Without a word of courtesy, Du Wei even forgot to salute. Instead, he immediately asked: "How is his majesty?"
His approach is undoubtedly very rude, but Prince Son didn't seem to care. As for the palace guards behind him, they seem to be used to seeing their master and the Duke of the Tulip Family being so intimate.
"Du Wei, I'm very pleased that you came back so quickly." Prince Son opened his mouth with a hoarse voice: "But, I'm sorry because I lied to you in the letter."
"… … …" Du Wei was stunned as he looked at Prince Son in confusion.
"My father is not in critical condition." Prince Son looked around and spoke in a very soft voice: "In fact, he is already dead! The night before I wrote you the letter! "
