Realm of Power

"Pop!" The heavy door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Asuo walked in from the door with a serious look on his face.

The hall was brightly lit, and a 10-meter-long long table with smooth brown-red paint shone like a flame-like red halo in front of the bright light from all directions, shining on the faces of the generals sitting on both sides of the long table. Like a war horn lit

I saw Asuo in bright red armor walking in from the gate.

"Sir," all the generals stood up and stared at the hero in their hearts with fiery eyes. 50,000 troops had gathered on the border and could march south at any time.

The momentum of getting ready to go and the confidence to win were all reflected in the excited faces of the Beidi generals, Nan Ping, without exception.

An army of 50,000 people. In addition to the 15,000 Northland infantry of the Asuor tribe, there are also 20,000 armored reindeer cavalry and 20,000 Northland berserker legions. This is in the sparsely populated cold northern land. , can definitely be regarded as a frightening force that massacres the country and exterminates the nation. This is the first time that the Northlanders who live in the cold north have intervened in a war in the inland areas on a large scale.

Everyone is waiting to see, and many people are thinking, "The roar of the Bear of the North will definitely make those cowardly mainlanders tremble. We want the mainlanders to see what a real warrior is."

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long." Asu'o, who was in the center of everyone's focus, went straight to the main seat of the long table with a sense of solemnity, and nodded slightly to the generals standing on both sides.

"Everyone, sit down." Asuo glanced at the crowd and waved to everyone with a calm face. The appearance of this Northland overlord is full of the characteristics of the Northlanders, with a broad face and a strong body like an iron tower. , red hair is messily coiled on his head, and his eagle-like curved nose shows that he is an ambitious man, and his piercing eyes carry a compelling momentum.

Someone once said that Asu'o's appearance can be represented by a polar bear. In the cold northern regions where the weak eat the strong, it is not a derogatory term, but a complimentary term. The mythical creature worshiped by the people in the North is the polar bear.

As Asu'o walked in, there was also a slender young man with brown hair. His whole body was covered in a black robe. Half of his face was exposed, and there were huge scars left by five giant claws. Almost covers half of the face

The young man next to him, who was covered in a black robe, also took off the black robe covering his head, revealing a strange face, with a ferocious and everted scar on one side, and a face with several scars on the other side. A bookish face,

"Why is he here?" The expressions of some generals sitting in their seats changed, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the trident emblem of tribal identity worn on the young man's forehead.

"Hiss" There was a sound of gasping. A trace of surprise that could not be concealed flashed across most of the generals' faces. There were also a few generals in charge of the eastern coastal operations who tightened their eyes. The trident was such a familiar mark. Isn't it the mark of the Austinites in the coastal areas who have been at war with the Assov tribe?

"Is that rumor true?" Various whispers began to come from the seats, and the generals whispered to each other. The Austinites on the eastern coast actually appeared in such an important meeting. No wonder the Asuo Ministry The generals couldn't believe their eyes, but the leader didn't say anything, and everyone could only put back the look of astonishment on their faces.

"This is the secret envoy from the Kingdom of Austin, Mr. Austin Carlos." Asuo seemed to have expected all this and introduced with a calm face.

The Austins are the actual controllers of the coastal areas of Northland, with a population of 170,000. Among the cold tribes, they are known as the largest tribe in Northland. Three years ago, in order to seize an outlet for trade in the summer, To break the stalemate in inland trade in the cold region, Asu'o personally ordered and decided to attack the Austinites who were guarding the Northland's seaport.

The war between the two sides has lasted for 3 years, with each side suffering casualties. Until a month ago, Asuo used an ambush method to annihilate the main force of 20,000 Austinites who were crossing the canyon at Mycanus Mountain near the eastern coast. The remaining people captured more than 200 nobles below Austin Marshal Pol Darius, and severely damaged the fleet that the Austinites were most proud of.

Obviously, when faced with the choice of continuing to fight to the death or cooperating, the leader chose the latter, and the olive branch extended to the Austin people was responded to. In fact, this was expected, with these 500 Austin nobles. In hand, there is no fear that Austinites will reject this settlement, which seems to involve no loss.

Asuo asked someone to bring a bench to the young man behind him, and he did not hesitate to let it sit side by side with him. He introduced loudly, "Sir Austin Carlos, as the secret envoy of the Kingdom of Austin, is here to talk to us this time." to discuss alliance affairs"

"Austin Carlos?" After hearing Asuo's words, a pot exploded below. The generals looked at each other with shocked faces.

"That person is the notorious Claw of the Violent Bear? No, this guy doesn't look like him." Some of it was because of the negotiations with the Austin people, but most of it was about the name of the young man in front of me.

Asuo looked around, his dark eyes scanning the surroundings for some low whispers. Everyone stopped quickly, and the conference hall fell silent again. After the sound of everyone sitting down neatly, there was only one person in the silent conference hall. Asuo has a majestic voice

"From today on, we are an alliance with the Austin tribe. All previous misunderstandings have been explained clearly. According to the alliance agreement, our Asuo tribe and the Austin Kingdom are bounded by the Mykanus Mountains. The area to the west of the Si Mountains belongs to our Asuo tribe, and the area to the east belongs to the Kingdom of Austin."

"Alliance? Alliance with the Austinites? How is this possible?" As soon as Asuo finished speaking, there was already an explosion below,

"Sir, if this is the case, what about the area east of the Mycanus Mountains that we have occupied? We have already begun to immigrate to that area and established a settlement. If we just give up like this, I'm afraid."

After hearing the decision announced by Asu'o, a general sitting below stood up with an ugly face and asked

"Didn't you understand what I said? Asuo glared at the general fiercely, and his tone was full of unquestionable authority. "Within ten days, no matter what the situation is, everyone will withdraw according to the agreement."

"But" the general opened his mouth with a pale face, but in the end he said nothing. He sat down on the chair in a dejected manner. Taking advantage of his experience, other generals who had opinions did not dare to say anything.

It seems that Mr. Asu'o has decided that if he objects, it is not just a matter of authority, because Asu'o is a once-in-a-century talent in the North, and his words and prestige have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If word spreads, for Asu'o Mr. Russia's prestige will be a heavy blow.

"Damn it, it's all because of this guy's arrival"

Some dissatisfied generals could only use their extremely unwilling and vicious eyes to glance at Austin Carlos, the chief bursar of the Austinites who was sitting next to Asuo.

"Oh, I don't know what the Austin people used to confuse Master Asu'o to be willing to give up such a large area."

Some generals below are also talking about it. Once this alliance treaty is signed, many previous efforts will be in vain. The great cause of the Asuo tribe to unify the northern land will be greatly delayed.

"For several years of fighting in the wind, snow and ice, the blood of countless northern warriors was shed in vain."

Everyone began to get excited. Asuo was sitting in the main seat. He seemed not to notice anything about the excitement of his subordinates below. He continued to read the contract calmly and focused infinitely.

Everyone's eyes containing this kind of anger are now focused on the emissary of the Kingdom of Austin at the center of the storm, but this young emissary looks calm and composed.

He calmly picked up the water cup on the table and blew gently on the hot air floating on the surface of the cup. He looked intently at the ripples of water in the cup.

That leisurely and focused look seemed like he was attending a symposium, rather than being in a murderous enemy camp. Only when Asuo asked in a low voice some details about the execution of the contract, this person who seemed to be still... It was only after Shen Cheng was studying how many waves there were that Austin's emissary responded in a neither salty nor bland manner.

Meaningless words such as "Mr. Asuo's sincerity is really touching. I will take this good news back immediately. I believe we will become the strongest allies."

Then he continued to turn a blind eye and gently blew the faint white air in the water glass with his mouth.

"Asshole, this guy is too arrogant"

No one knows what this important minister of the Kingdom of Austin is thinking or wants to do. If it weren’t for the huge and terrifying scar reminding everyone, many people would want to stand up and push this pretentious guy to the ground. A good beating can vent the anger in your heart.

Damn it, do you really think that I have no one in my Asuo tribe when I get a bargain? But no one dares. There are one or two self-reliant and brave generals who only stare at them fiercely after their faces are red and aggrieved and ready to move.

"It seems that there is also a lot of disunity within the Asu-Russian Ministry regarding the alliance."

From below, Austin Carlos withdrew his fake focused gaze and took in everything. Except for the scars on his face, Austin’s secret messenger’s appearance could even be described as delicate among Northlanders.

The slender body with small arms and legs has only just reached the standard of robustness among the tall Northerners. It seems that there is no threat or oppression.

But after he slowly swallowed a mouthful of hot water, his sharp eyes, like lightning, were enough to make most of the Asuo generals who were secretly sizing him up, lower their heads in panic.

In the cold northern land, this seemingly harmless guy has a famous and sinister name: "Bear's Claw"

This is the highest honor for a surviving warrior who has fought an adult polar bear alone on the ice. He represents not only bravery, but also a meaning similar to God's favor.

"With such magnanimity, he is truly worthy of being Austin Carlos, the son of the North." Comparing the embarrassment of everyone with the young man in front of him who was 10 years younger than himself but showed the air of a general, Asuo, who was sitting next to him, felt that I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Austin Carlos, for the generals of Asu's army, is a nightmare existence. His combat valor is almost unmatched. If it weren't for the high-level attention of the Austin people, he would never have thought of fighting against the Austin people. They took advantage of the Austin people's war, but in the past few years they were too sharp, so it's no wonder they were ignored by the Austin people's upper echelons.

Heroes are often synonymous with loneliness,

It is said that when Austin Carlos was 21 years old, he fell into the freezing water because of a failed battle. After marching ten miles tenaciously, he was killed by a head that had not eaten for several days and was starving as soon as he climbed ashore. of adult polar bears are staring at,

Unable to stay warm, Austin Carlos, who was nearly frozen in the ice water and was ready to lie there waiting for death, also stared at the polar bear with fierce eyes.

This is his only chance to survive. If he cannot warm up quickly, even if he is brave, he will not be able to escape being frozen into a popsicle.

Everyone in the North knows that if you don't want to freeze to death in the wild, there is only one way to find a living creature, disembowell it, and use the warm blood and body temperature in the corpse's chest to wrap yourself up to keep warm. Or you can delay it for a while and just freeze it. A giant beast on the ice was targeted, and he, Austin Carlos, was the first

The power of human beings in the face of desperate situations is amazing. No one knows what the duel between man and beast on the ice will be like. They just wait until the search team arrives.

The 6-meter-long adult polar bear had been disemboweled and was lying on the ice covered in blood. Inside its bloody body that had been split in half,

The search team spent a lot of effort to find Ou from the pile of almost minced internal organs of the polar bear, who was also seriously injured. Half of his face was scratched by the polar bear's claws, and his body was covered with minced meat, but he was still alive. Stincarlos

This man's vitality is so tenacious that many people believe that he is the favored son of God. In the cold Arctic regions, the giant polar bear is at the top of the food chain and is as dominant as a god.

No matter who it is, no one is sure that they can defeat this man who can't even kill a giant beast like a polar bear on the ice.

Time passed slowly, and the content involved in the contract was too long. The two parties even divided the trees on the boundary. At first, Austin Carlos was able to say a few words, but in the end he simply lowered his head, with a long dripping from the corner of his mouth. He drooled so much that he actually fell asleep

Seeing the fatigue shown by Austin Carlos, Asuo's calm expression next to him suddenly changed. He suddenly turned over several pages in a row, his voice suddenly stopped, and he asked deliberately pretending to be surprised.

"Sir Austin Carlos, if the division is divided according to the agreement, if the west of Micanus Mountain is counted as us, the seaport near the southeast corner of the cape should also belong to our Asuo tribe."

"What? What did Assoo-sama just say? Southeast Cape? Are you sure you are talking about this place?" The sleepy Austin Carlos seemed to have been stabbed by something,

This place name made him open his eyes angrily, and he felt a strong aura like a wild wolf in the ice field.

"According to the contract, the southeastern cape belongs to our Lord Austin Carlos of Asu'o. What I said is correct." Asu'o raised the contract in his hand and said in a serious tone with a serious face.

"This, this," Austin Carlos's face became as white as a piece of paper. With extremely quick movements, he opened the alliance contract that he had not even been interested in taking a look at before, staring at each word carefully with his eyes. I wish I could see a hole in the contract in front of me, but it is written in black and white.

The generals below were all stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe their ears.

"Long live, we have obtained the Southeast Cape." Immediately there were bursts of excited gasps,

Some people who were slow-thinking quickly realized that, yes, if we use Mikanus Mountain as the dividing line, the geographically superior southeastern headland outlet is undoubtedly within the scope of the Asuo Department. ,

"Long live Asu'o. Your Excellency is so wise. He got what Asu'o had been unable to obtain even after several years of hard work without even losing a single blow." Some excited generals below shouted again.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. There must be something wrong." Among the cheers of the crowd, only Austin Carlos murmured in a low voice with a melancholy expression.

The headland in the southeast corner is the closest outlet to the sea in the south. It is the only area where you can go to sea in winter. It is the best in the entire northern region in terms of strategic location and economic status.

If the Asuor tribe gains control of this promontory, it can move forward and retreat, just like a big hand strangling the throat of the entire northern sea area. At that time, not only the Austin people, but also other tribes will also be able to control the headland. You have to look at the eyes of the Asuo tribe.

"Damn this contract was drafted by that bastard. How could there be such a big loophole? He asked me to sign this because he wanted me to take the blame." Austin Carlos stood up angrily and looked around. Take a look,

Surrounded by Asuo people who were full of excitement and cheers,

Now no one cares about the attitude of the Austinian emissary. With the southeastern cape in hand, the Asuo people are the masters of the entire northern sea. The Austinites, Boka people, and Slandil people are all now We need to see the faces of the Asuos people.

The lonely figure of Austin Carlos staggered and gradually disappeared at the door of the conference hall. Under the attention of many Assu people, he angrily walked onto the carriage at the door.

"Bang" the carriage door closed heavily, and a smile of relief suddenly appeared on Austin Carlos's pale face. Damn it, you want to go to the Southeast Cape. The navy of the Falcon Empire is waiting for you there. A bunch of idiots are not done yet. Continued)
