Realm of Power

A member of the Guards Cavalry in charge of asking for instructions rushed into the gate of the city outside Xinhai City, known as "New North County" like lightning. The horse's hooves knocked on the stones of the street. One person and one rider were like water droplets melting into the sea. The huge city atmosphere is coming, with crowds of people, numerous shops, and endless noise.

"This is troublesome!"

The Guards Cavalry was a little dumbfounded when they saw the crowds of people in front of them. If they hadn't reacted quickly enough and pulled their horses violently, they would have collided with a passing carriage.

And where he can't see

"Stop"

The fat man raised his hand with sharp eyes, and the cavalry guards stopped the carriage together.

There is a stone bridge at the end of the street in front. Under the stone bridge is a huge river. A merchant ship transporting goods is moving down the river with the surging water, causing splashes of water. This is the outermost part of the sea city that passes through it. On the other side of the inland river transportation line, dense trade areas and residential areas are clearly visible, revealing infinite beauty and temptation.

The fat man stopped with 20 cavalry guards and a carriage. In other cities, it might cause a road blockage, but entering this Xinhai City, it was completely different. The wide business road could accommodate ten horses abreast and four vehicles. The carriage passed through, 20 riders plus one carriage,

Just like a drop of water falling into the sea, the shadow has long been invisible. It is really because Xinhai City is too big. The huge population of Xinhai City exceeded 350,000 in May, accounting for 10% of the population of the entire northwest region. One tenth of it. When Fatty planned it, he wanted to turn this huge harbor city into a The city was built into a huge political, economic, cultural and military center on the entire northwest coast, allowing the influence of the empire to radiate from here to the entire northwest. It was so prosperous that people envied it. A poet once saw this huge dream city, He said something that everyone agreed with.

This is a huge living miracle standing on the northwest coast,

A huge, unimaginable miracle. In fact, some people have begun to call Xinhai City the City of Miracles. Its reputation has even spread to the Kyoto of the Gallic Empire. You must know that this is only half a city that just appeared on the northwest coast. The new city of Yue has a unique geographical location and a transshipment center where goods gather. The most important connection point between the two continents,

Xinhai City, which was still under construction at the time, has become the focus of millions of people's attention thanks to Fatty's series of overt and covert efforts. Whether they are people from the northwest or businessmen traveling between the two continents, they are all like giant sponges. Converging here, even the Murphy brothers who came from Kyoto in Gaul to serve in the southwest also had the urge to run and take a look after hearing the name of this sea city.

"Have you thought about it?" The fat man turned his head. Looking at Angelio who was in a daze next to him, he asked

"Well, as long as His Majesty is really willing to let them go, I am willing to go back to Rasonde to implement the plan!" Angelio gritted his teeth and looked at the stone bridge in front of him with bright eyes.

"Don't worry, I can personally let you see them board the boat to the other side of the sea, and guarantee that mother and son will receive the necessary care throughout their lives!" The fat man smiled slightly. "I know some people say that I am a tyrant covering the entire northwest." A reckless man who despises the empire, is cold-blooded and murderous. But I have never taken it to heart, because in my eyes, no matter whether it is a tyrant, a king of barbarians, or a murderous maniac, it is not as good as being able to bring a paradise to my people. It's important, I have never been ashamed of my sword, so what if I add a few more ugly names!

"Go to the Imperial Navy Port! Tell the Navy to send a warship to escort us and we must reach Ikadiva safely!" The fat man waved his hand, and two Guards Cavalry escorted the carriage and slowly drove up the stone road leading to the accommodation area. Bridge, the fat man looked at the disappearing figure of the carriage and said slowly, "You can see clearly, aren't you afraid that I will make a mistake behind my back? Instead of sending them away, they will be detained instead?" The fat man looked depressed, is he like this? Look like a good person?

"I dare not say anything about others, but if it is His Majesty Falcon... Angelio shook his head, blinked his eyes and said, "There is no need to worry about this at all."

"The last farewell is always sad! I believe in your majesty's promise." Angelio said calmly, turned his horse's head, and said in a more serious tone, "Your majesty, don't forget that I am the most trusted attendant of the Duke of Rassende, so I know many others. The inside story you don’t know!

"Perhaps Your Majesty himself doesn't know. If there is a northwest monarch with the best reputation and reputation in the Northwest, it must be His Majesty!" As if he had let go of everything and put down all worries, Angelio's eyes turned to The products on the street, he said with a rare hint of ridicule.

"This joke is not funny!" The fat man suddenly looked cold.

"It's not a joke, it's a consensus!"

Angelio looked into the distance with bright eyes and said slowly, "In the Northwestern Rebellion, everyone thought that the Julius family was treacherous and betrayed their relatives. It was over. Even the big tree with its roots was destined to fall. At that time, everyone had already concluded that the northwest pattern would inevitably emerge. A huge change. At that time, even those forces siding with the Julius family actually lost their determination to continue the war. At that time, the northwest coast, which had a heavy army, could seize Julius by just watching indifferently. The biggest power in the North West after the fall of the family "

"But His Majesty just took action." Angelio paused, with a hint of admiration on his face. "Ignoring the easy-to-get benefits, ignoring the power in the northwest that can be easily obtained without taking action, does Your Majesty know? When the coalition forces The leaders knew that it was His Majesty who personally led the army and traveled thousands of miles alone. During the battle, his expression was not only shocked, but also a bit respectful. Then the nightmare of the coalition began. The Battle of Ohacha opened up the backyard of the entire coalition, plundered Bangor, defeated Atwood, and the navy set off northward. The coalition forces, and then destroyed half of Atwood without giving the coalition a chance to breathe.

"It was His Majesty's strength that brought the Julius family back to life, which was already destined to be defeated! The situation of the coalition forces was reversed."

Angelio seemed to have thought of something, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "At that time, the situation within the coalition forces was full of panic. It is still swaying in front of my eyes. Many people called His Majesty a fool and did not know how to do anything good." But I don’t know how many people secretly envy the Julius family. They may be in a miserable state, betrayed by their relatives, but they are also lucky enough because they are in the most desperate situation. At that time, we had an ally like His Majesty who had a firm attitude and didn’t care about the gains and losses! As for the reason for marriage, in this troubled world where interests are paramount, what does a woman mean? This is why the coalition rarely believed that His Majesty would comply during subsequent negotiations! The reason for the contract! If it was Julius Ford who signed the contract, the coalition would never sign it even if they tried to fight again! "

"Actually, I'm not as good as you think! Sending troops is not just to fulfill the promise. Taking advantage of the trend to occupy the northwest coast is the focus." The fat man showed a rare embarrassed smile after being praised like this. It really makes the fat man, who has always been as thick-skinned as a city wall, feel a little embarrassed.

The two of them unknowingly came to a cliff on the west side of the city. This is the navy's lighthouse. They saw it was a guard. The guard leading to this road did not block it.

Stopping the horse's hooves, what appeared in front of the two people was a full eight paths. Like a huge city with man-made rivers running through it,

The entire urban transportation line is connected with the trading seaport leading to the sea. Water transportation has been extended to the extreme here, and cargo ships can sail directly in. Forty-six river mouths, one hundred and thirty-four bridges, the entire inner city area is like a super huge beautiful hanging chain, spreading out layer by layer towards the fan.

There are white seagulls in the sky,

The slopes outside the inner city gradually climb up, forming four cliffs hundreds of meters above the city. One of the four lighthouses where the two of them are now standing shows an arc-shaped branch city that expands outward, like a back armor covering the outside. Each covers an area of ​​five miles, and huge city walls stand.

Passing through three city gates in a row, there is a dense network of inner city roads inside. This largest empire-level seaport city in history adopts the usual design of the Falcon Empire, with a main city and four acropolis. The city is twenty miles long and wide, including seven large trading ports and two naval ports.

In front of it, the former Atwood Sea City was like a little country nobleman who couldn't stand up to the stage.

The dividing line between the military zone and the urban area, four acropolises guard the periphery of the city. Each acropolis is built to be able to station 50,000 troops, four is 200,000, plus the wide main city area at the rear, formed by the river Natural barrier line, at least one-half of the 200,000 northwest troops are stationed here,

There are shops and residential houses on both sides of the commercial district. They are adjacent to each other and are densely packed with spires. Goods from the two continents gather here. The location of the port is that merchant ships in the seaport are like crucian carp crossing the river. They are densely covered in the sea and docked in the port. The white sails are continuously sold, and even the people on the northwest coast are proud of the ten-mile white sails. This miraculous city is enough to make anyone who sees it for the first time feel that there really are miracles in this world.

Angelio was like this, but his eyes were full of tears. He knew that this was the last chance for His Majesty Falcon to see him off.

His eyes searched for the port below. Although he said it lightly, it was not easy to truly let go! But the city is too big. There are thousands if not ten thousand merchant ships docked at the port, and there are dozens of ships slowly leaving the port now.

"No need to look for it, they are on an imperial warship!" The fat man raised his whip and pointed to an outer bend with few ships on the left side of the huge harbor. There, a strange-shaped Dragon Tooth warship was raising its sails toward the outer sea. "" Their identities will no longer be known or remembered by anyone. On the land across the sea, I can't guarantee that their mother and son will be rich and powerful in this life, but at least they can have enough food and clothing to live an ordinary but fulfilling life! But, don’t you go and give it away? I can see that that woman seems to care about you very much. This may be the last time you see each other in this life.

"It is estimated that in another 20 years, the young son of the Duke's family for whom you are desperately protecting may not even remember your name and appearance! After all, for such a young child, your escape may be just a part of your childhood memory. A fleeting trance! "

"Isn't this good?" Angelio reluctantly looked back from a distance, let go of everything, a trace of determination flashed across his calm face, and said with a wry smile, "For the young son of the Duke, the cruel past can... The less you remember, the better! It’s better to never know your identity for the rest of your life.

"Okay, your majesty, can you tell me now how to implement this plan?

"You will be sent back to Rosende! You will be accused of betraying your master and killing the young son of the Duke." The fat man's face became serious. He looked at the endless sky in the distance and said, "I will help you find two bodies." The body was covered up, and the arresting team, and Issue an order to hunt you down throughout the region. You are the old Duke's most trusted attendant. Many of the Duke's orders are issued through you. You are very useful to them, so the other party will be very happy that you are willing to join them. Then look for opportunities. .

"If you find an opportunity to kill the Duke, will you die?" Angelio said calmly.

"It doesn't necessarily need to be like this, but Roxende must start chaos on his own! It's best if someone starts a rebellion." The fat man suddenly sighed softly. "As a senior attendant, I believe you must have many ways to achieve this effect!"

"Yes, sometimes, a few inconspicuous secret letters and some hints can do it!" Angelio nodded. "I know the governors of several counties. They are all loyal to the Duke. When the Duke was still the heir, , we already have a very good relationship with them, especially with His Highness Locke’s mother. The abandonment of the Duke back then was very indignant. If they knew that the Duke was under control and that His Highness Locke was about to succeed him, no matter whether they could confront His Highness Locke or not, they would definitely raise an army to fight against His Highness Locke. Then there would be civil strife in Rausende. There is a reason to send troops! "

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he realized that it was really easy to talk to smart people. With such responsiveness, it was no wonder that he could become the confidant of the ruthless Duke. Touching the mane of the war horse, the fat man's eyes flashed with an unknown luster. "Suddenly I realized that a smart person like you, who knows the inside story of Rosend, is not worth losing like this. If you want to regret it now, it's still too late. ! "

"Your Majesty's joke is not funny!" Angelio replied with the same sentence as the fat man. "I just hope that after your Majesty controls Rosende, peace can replace war!"

"This request. I've written it down!" The fat man nodded.

"Tata!" Just when the two were about to turn around, a rush of horse hoofbeats came from behind, and a Guards Cavalry galloped over. "Your Majesty!" The guard who was delivering the message jumped off his horse panting, and passed by all the way. After asking, I finally found His Majesty’s whereabouts.

"A woman wants to see me?" The fat man's face changed slightly when he heard Konoe's report. He had too many romantic debts. Now that the fat man heard that the woman wanted to see him, even his fat body was trembling.

But Angelio next to him showed a hint of joy and said, "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity. Instead of me sneaking back, I have to explain. There is nothing better than having a capture team go back with me. They made The proof is more effective than a thousand words from me!”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Igna was tied to the horse in pain, his eyes were full of blood, and the cracked corners of his eyes formed a ferocious streak of blood. After hearing Gwendoline's request to see the heads of these soldiers, he struggled even more violently. , Hu Keqili glanced impatiently at a guard,

The guard understood this and walked over and knocked Igna unconscious with the handle of the knife. If he was allowed to continue moving like this and the broken ribs were inserted into his heart and lungs, then he would really have no choice but to take the body to explain to His Majesty, which is not far away. Here, under the gaze of the Guards Cavalry, Gwendoline looked at this scene with a cold face, tears streaming down her face, her friendship fully revealed,

Hu Keqili walked back and forth. He was waiting for a reply. He looked up at the sky. More than an hour had passed. Could there be something wrong?

The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance, and Hu Keqili's serious face finally relaxed a little. The guard who reported the news finally came back. The guard who reported the news stopped his horse beside him and whispered a few words. Hu Keqili's expression suddenly changed. It became very exciting. What, His Majesty really told me this?

Hu Keqili subconsciously glanced in the direction of Gwendoline.

At this glance, Gwendoline's face became paler and paler. She gripped the handle of the dagger tightly, then slowly released it, stood up, and walked out.

She said that she wanted to see the fat man just on the spur of the moment. She was very confident in her beauty. In order not to cause trouble, she usually covered herself with a hood. She hoped that she could save Igna's life with her own sacrifice, but In fact, she still had a trace of luck in her heart. She would still have fantasies and hopes if she was not in a desperate situation. However, the look from the fierce general on the other side completely shattered her luck. The meaning of this look was so obvious. The fat man agreed. Otherwise, the other party won’t look at you like that

"What are you going to do?" Hu Keqili looked at Gwendoline who came out with a murderous look, as cold as a sword.

"Don't you want to see me?" Gwendoline had a graceful figure, stroked her long hair on her forehead, and smiled sadly, so beautiful that it was heartbreaking.

"I really want to see someone, but unfortunately, it's not you!" Hu Keqili grinned and waved his hand. The Guards Cavalry raised the assault crossbow again. The cold metal light on the crossbow made Gwendoline A little dazed, this. . What's going on? , at this time, she heard Hu Keqili said coldly, "Except this woman, kill everyone else!"

The arrows shot out like blood, and the cavalry crossbows simultaneously made an ejection sound that tore the air. Gwendoline was completely stunned. The arrows shot from all around her with a whistling sound. There was a cruel scream, and she was soon trapped. calm,

‘Why, why is this happening! "

Gwendoline's eyes were dull, like a puppet. She turned around slowly, and what she saw in her charming eyes was full of blood.

More than a dozen companions were lying on the ground in all directions, with white feathers of arrows stuck in their bodies. Under them were summer flowers that had been stained with blood.

The cruel death and the early summer earth merged together. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
