Realm of Power

The night breeze was blowing, and the milky white moonlight shone through the stone walls of the prison, giving people an even more chilling feeling in the soul. The murderous Imperial Guards in black armor lined up from the exit of the prison, their black armor flashing in the night. It moves with a ghost-like sheen, and in a prison filled with darkness and resentment, it looks even more like The demonic army came out from the dark netherworld one after another. The wind blew through the dry, cold and damp corridors of the prison, making a whimpering sound. It seemed that the dark prison could not resist the murderous aura spreading from the hundreds of guards. At the front of the guard, the cold moonlight shone on the back of Hu Keqili, an important minister of the empire.

Several prison officials stood cautiously ten meters behind him, looking as ugly as if their father had just died.

"Useless things, if it weren't for the support of the skeleton, these guys would have collapsed on the ground and turned into a ball of mud!" Simon, who was born in the army, cursed inwardly with some annoyance, but quietly stretched out four fingers on his right hand. , made a slight gesture to several of his colleagues, and several other prison officers shook their heads neatly, their silent eyes seeming to ask each other, "Has anyone tortured that young man?"

"It's better if we don't, otherwise, we might not even be qualified to go to jail!" Simon finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly. This incident was so sudden that no one would dare to believe it even if he told it. That weak man The guy who lost half his life actually caused such a big fight. It was the early summer in May and the weather was not hot, but without exception, there were beads of sweat rolling down the foreheads of the prison officials. , no one expected that His Majesty Falcon would come tonight,

Warden Simon wiped the sweat with his hands, but several other subordinates were even worse than him, and their faces turned green with fear. The young man in the dungeon was secretly sent from the port a few days ago because of the language. It didn't make sense, and because of the special instructions from above, the warden Simon was unusually kind to this young man. There was no usual questioning or torture, and he was even given a separate room.

But the young man was still haggard and weak. According to the warden's professional eyes, the young man should have suffered internal injuries, plus the bumpy road, if there was no improvement. Without a doctor, this young man would not have survived more than ten days

"Now I can only hope that this young man will not speak ill of me! Otherwise..." Simon didn't dare to think about it anymore, but the trembling feeling came directly from the tail cone to the top of his head. Although the prison belongs to the Governor's Palace and is a local institution, the prison officers have recently been within the army. We have also heard about the strict inspections and rectifications that have been carried out. In the rainy season that just ended, not only rain fell, but also blood that made people feel horrified.

Six squadron captains in the army lost their heads for concealing the deaths of soldiers caused by mudslides, and two local flag regiment leaders were implicated. He was directly ordered to be dismissed from his post. As for the unnamed cats and dogs, it is said that there are more than 200 people. The total number even exceeds the number of deaths caused by the mudslide itself in the army. The almost harsh investigation has almost spread to the entire army.

The military also tensed up their nerves because of this incident, leading to a storm of self-examination. It is also spreading rapidly,

"They are just a few ordinary soldiers. Is it worth holding officers with outstanding military exploits responsible for this? Your general is really... Tsk, tsk!" There is no shortage of unruly and passionate men in the army, especially In the legions of Salon,

This strict investigation was originally initiated by the Central Army. Seeing the chaos within the Central Army, the officers were all in danger. The officers of the Salon Army were also happy to hear it, and even occasionally met their colleagues from the Central Army with sad faces. While expressing sympathy, they made some harmless jokes. But when this storm fell on the head of the Salon Army, some officers of the Salon Army who were very dissatisfied with this fuss-making investigation immediately expressed strong opposition.

"Why does the Central Military Army have the right to investigate us?"

The officers secretly connected together and gathered more than a hundred people to the legion headquarters, trying to put pressure on Hu Keqili, who was responsible for the strict investigation, through the commander of the Salon Legion at the same level. The news they received made these officers look at each other one by one. peep,

The adjutant of the Corps who received them regretfully said, "Commander of the Salon Corps was sent to a meeting by His Majesty Falcon half a month ago! He has not returned yet."

"How is that possible? Half a month ago..."

"Yes, didn't His Majesty go to the Long Wall half a month ago? How can he be in two places!"

The young adjutant of the legion headquarters shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile, "I don't know, but that's the fact. The legion commander hasn't come back, maybe he's still in Xinhai City! Lord Salon has always hoped to have the opportunity to observe the experience in person. Ichiban, the largest sea city port, may be like this, and it probably won’t come back in the short term!”

"Is this a hint?" The officers who had been in high morale just now were like eggplants beaten by frost. No one was a fool. At this juncture, His Majesty Falcon ordered Lord Salon to be transferred over, which was enough. It shows that the Supreme Falcon is behind this rigorous investigation. Such news spread quickly. Hu Keqili, who is in charge of the rigorous investigation, neither affirmed nor denied it. This scapegoat is too big and offending. Well, he Hu Keqili can’t carry it.

Because of this incident, the news that His Majesty Falcon attacked the entire imperial army for the benefit of a very small number of soldiers quickly spread throughout the coastal legions. Although the officers were somewhat dissatisfied, the ordinary soldiers, who accounted for the majority of the soldiers, showed great gratitude for His Majesty Falcon's grace, and the morale of the army reached its peak.

After the storm, not many people would remember the rolling heads, and the one who set off this storm in the army was Lord Hukoqili, who stood ten meters away and was illuminated by the moonlight from behind. He was the commander of the Central Legion and the governor of the Paraven region who held a lot of power.

Any of these two people would make the earth tremble a few times if they stomped their feet in the empire. But when facing a small warden like himself, he didn't even need to lift a finger. As long as he frowned slightly, he would probably be dismissed by his superiors. And tonight, even the imperial ministers who could decide the fate of thousands of lives with just one sentence could only stand outside the door and wait respectfully.

The identity of the fat man inside the door was about to be revealed.

"Your Majesty the Falcon! Your Majesty the Supreme Falcon, why would you come to this dirty place?" The prison officer was completely confused and didn't dare to say a word. He just looked at each other subconsciously. Fear was like a chill from the soul.

At this moment, the iron gate leading to the dungeon was pushed open in front.

Tightening the collar of the windbreaker, the fat man covered his head with a hood and made a gesture to the prison officer Simon who had been speculating and uneasy at the door.

"My lord!"

Simon's face turned pale and he immediately walked over with his head bowed.

He wanted to call you His Majesty, but at the moment he was about to speak, he hesitated. His Majesty's secret arrival was obviously not something he wanted people to know!

"Find him a clean place, find the best doctor in the city, and don't tell him who I am!" The fat man expressed a little appreciation for his alertness and whispered, "I don't want any news about what happened tonight to get out! Especially to the grassland people!" (To be continued.)
