Chapter 37 Wind and Snow
Before leaving for the imperial capital, Di Changli did not make a big move, but called four refiners such as Robacha, as well as the governor of Lucrekes, the Marquis of Pimenta and the owner of Holton.
Di Changli is very clear that Fernando has been operating in the Delman Empire for a long time, and his deep-rooted power is extremely large. Although his performance has been very strong since he arrived in Lum, it is not necessarily true that these military and political giants in the Nordic province of Nora will therefore believe that he has enough strength to beat Fernando. Before the two sides fought clearly, although there were various contradictions with Fernando, and their camps fought fiercely with each other, it was impossible for them to completely turn to themselves. At most, under the same conditions, it will be slightly biased towards yourself.
Therefore, Di Changli did not want to attract them in vain. These guys are all powerful characters who are scheming and resourceful. No matter how much they promise, it is also a waste of expression and saliva. Di Changli only made a request to them, that is, ask them to maintain the existing power pattern in Norra Province, Northern Europe, and prevent Fernando's people from entering during this period.
This requirement is very simple. In fact, it is more consistent with the interests and needs of these people. Naturally, it is impossible for them to refuse. Therefore, all parties happily reached an agreement on the covenant.
The night before leaving, Diane quietly came to the temple. After wild and passionate ecstasy, she printed a deep kiss on Di Changli's face: "I will wait for the adult here." Then he quietly left again.
This is an extremely smart woman. Although she did not put forward any conditions to Di Changli or ask him to make any promises, she is very clear that Di Changli is a real man with great wisdom and courage. Now that she has accepted herself, she will never let her pay in nothing. But if he asks for something, Di Changli may not refuse. However, it is no good except to be looked down on. On the contrary, the more he wants, the more Di Changli will think about his thoughts, and the more likely he will be for himself.

The commander and the saint went to the Temple of the Imperial Capital to be promoted to a new position. In the eyes of the world, this is a great event, especially the new commander is invincible. In the war with the Monli Empire, he almost turned the tide with one strength, bringing incomparable glory to Lum City and being respected by the world. Respect. On the day of departure, thousands of saints gathered together and did not fear the cold winter when it was dripping into ice. They waited outside the temple before dawn and spontaneously held a grand farewell ceremony.
After the brigade left Lum City far away, many devout believers followed and sent dozens of miles away before they stopped reluctantly and saw the convoy disappear with tears.
"Although the lord has not been in Lum City for a long time, his prestige is the highest among the successive commanders. It is really a gift of the goddess of nature to be able to follow the adults." Bishop Brown expressed his feelings of happiness.
The villain, the flatterer, rolled his eyes aside and wished this guy who didn't know how to write shame to lose his hoof in front of the horse and fall into the mud fiercely.
This time entering the imperial capital, Di Changli appointed Gretel, who had been further investigated, as his captain of the guard, and asked him to choose 100 exclusive Guardian knights to accompany him. Originally, Di Changli did not want to take Brown with him, but the extremely thoughtful Brown was not an ambitious person. He knew that if he stayed in Lum City, it might be no problem to keep the wealth of food and clothing in his life, but if he left the leader, he was not far from him. It was absolutely impossible to have any major development, so He begged bitterly to follow Di Changli. Speaking of which, Di Changli still needs such a person to take care of all kinds of trivial matters, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do everything personally, so he took him on the road.
Lum City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the imperial capital, north and south. If it is only Di Changli and others, they can get there in three or four days. However, there are also Saint Leif and a group of female priests and servants. They must take a carriage and carry a lot of necessities on the road, and the speed will be great. If the land is reduced, it will take at least ten days to reach the imperial capital.
A group of people stayed up and night for a few days. On this day, the sky was particularly gloomy. The sky was covered with clouds, and the north wind roared like a burst of tension. Gretel said worriedly, "It looks like it's going to snow. I'm afraid our journey will be slower later."
Sure enough, it snowed before noon. At first, it was still fluttering. In the afternoon, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, like goose feathers, and they were swept all over the sky by the strong north wind, so that they couldn't even open their eyes and mouths. As far as they could see, they were everywhere white. If you don't walk on the road, I'm afraid everyone will lose their direction.
After a long journey against the wind and snow, the whole line became snowmen, and the speed was not much faster than that of a snail. In the afternoon, they were so tired, cold and cold that they had no choice but to stop and find a lee in the field next to the road to rest early. Fortunately, all kinds of materials are complete, and the knights are the elite of the army stationed in northern Xinjiang for a long time. They have long adapted to this weather and soon set up tents to settle down.
The campfire ignited, and soon everyone got hot water and food, driving away fatigue and hunger.
At night, the snow showed no sign of stopping, and the snow falling on the ground was already ankle-deep. Brown said worriedly, "Your Excellency, the imperial capital is limited to your arrival within half a month. With such a heavy wind and snow, there is no way to arrive in time at this speed. Why don't you take some people to ride lightly first?"
Di Changli shook his head and frowned slightly.
At present, on the side of the imperial capital, Princess Suana sent a secret message saying that Fernando had also found a saint in other provincial temples to compete for the position of the vacant imperial temple. If Leif could not take over in time, the saint of the imperial temple was obtained by Fernando, Princess Suana If you lose this important vote, how can you compete for the throne? Therefore, Di Changli and Lev must arrive at the imperial capital at the same time to take over. Only when they unite can they have the strength to compete with Fernando.
After thinking for a while, Di Chang left to find Saint Leif and asked her to rush to the imperial capital with her own light car.
Reve also knew that the situation was urgent and could not worry about the hardships of the road, so she immediately agreed. So the next morning, before dawn, Leif got up early, took only two close maids, and embarked on a journey with Di Changli and dozens of knights.
