Realm of Power

The carriage shook, and the woods outside the window began to recede. The fat man opened the window of the carriage and took a look outside. The convoy was leaving Lengwei County. The Duke of Dunkirk's convoy rested for the night in Lengwei County and continued to move forward the next day. ,

The sky outside is very good, the sun shines on the woods on both sides of the road, the blue stone road stretches forward, and the ruts on it make a heavy echo. Nearly a hundred cavalry in white uniforms escort the carriage slowly, the forest There was silence in the room. At the rear of the cavalry, the Minister of Interior Angelio and the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Sidney, who were responsible for welcoming the cavalry, seemed to deliberately keep a distance of 20 meters from the convoy.

At the rear fork that had become invisible, County Sheriff Danis and the county's civil and military officials turned and walked into their respective carriages.

"Okay, it's all over!"

Danis leaned back on the thickly cushioned seat in the carriage and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage. Since signing the document yesterday, he had gone through a sleepless night of tossing and turning, changing doors and embracing the northwest coast. This Is the decision too sudden? It's like a huge gamble. I put down my chips, but it doesn't mean I'm the winner. What if the northwest coast ignores me by then? Give up everything and run away?

Throughout the night, Danis had these questions in his mind.

So much so that when he received the summons from the butler, he was still wandering in his study. Undersecretary Sidney seemed to be a person who didn't like sleeping. The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, who held the Duke's warrant, actually made a stern request. After the Duke of Dunkirk left, he immediately ordered the arrest of all merchants in the county, seized all goods, and then transferred them all to the capital for disposal.

"This decision is such a joke! Do you really think that Lengwei County is a powerful local county? Or do you think that the caravan force will be so vulnerable!" Until now, Governor Danis still feels ridiculous about this order. certainly. The superficial perfunctory was necessary, at least the other party had to be sent away. The two important ministers from the capital didn't seem to notice anything. They even repeated the order deliberately before leaving. This made Danis worry all night, and finally lay down

At the entrance to the county town in front, Tisini, dressed in a toga businessman's attire, was looking at the convoy of officials returning from the opposite side. His eyes searched and searched, and finally he stared at the most luxurious carriage inside. It's Sheriff Danis' carriage.

Danis also saw Tissini at the city gate. He whispered to the carriage driver. The carriage slowed down and soon distanced itself from the others in front, becoming the last one in the entire convoy. In the end, they simply stopped on the side of the road and pretended that the wheel was broken. It was not until everyone's carriages entered that Danis's carriage slowly moved forward again. As I approached the city gate, I made a final creak and stopped at the edge of Tissini.

Danis opened the door of the carriage, stepped out of it, and looked around. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he whispered

"President Tissini, what's going on? Didn't you say that you would bring a guarantee that would make me feel safe? There are people from the northwest coast there. You won't just throw in a letter of appointment. Just leave me alone! "

"Don't worry, my Lord Sheriff. I will definitely come as I promised, but the time is not so fast!" Tisini said calmly to the angry Danis

"How long?" Danis's eyes turned red and he said angrily, "You know that every minute now is a kind of torture for me. Betrayal is a sharp sword that can destroy me and my family at any time." My family was killed. Although I threw myself into the arms of the northwest coast, I can’t guarantee that my men will Those officials will make the same choice. As far as I know, some of them are still loyal to the capital. I let the border guards open the road in accordance with the agreement. Then you should keep your promise and give me that kind of It’s enough power to stabilize the entire situation before anyone else discovers it!”

"Don't worry, it should be soon!" Tisini raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky, seeming to be saying to himself

At this time, a man from the Chamber of Commerce came over from across the street and whispered a few words in Tisini's ear. The corners of Tisini's mouth slightly raised and he waved his hand to the man, "Well, I understand!"

"What's wrong, but there's news?"

Danis said anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, "I'm not sure that among these officials, except for me, no one else has received the order! For local county governors and the capital, they are often prepared. Once If the local magistrate fails to follow the orders of the capital, a secret report will be placed there According to the Duke of Sende's desk, the 5th Infantry Regiment of Rosende, which is closest to Lengwei County, is 50 miles away from the infantry regiment's camp and will be at the city's gates within one day. My current situation is like being in Walking a tightrope, one foot is on the tightrope, but the other foot still doesn’t know how to put it down.”

"The Sheriff is too strict. I can guarantee that what you are walking is not a tightrope, but a road leading to a better future!"

Tisini smiled and opened the door of Danis's carriage in front of Sheriff Danis. "The Sheriff is right. The guarantee I promised has indeed arrived, but it can't be seen here, so Please come with me, Lord Sheriff!”

"Well, I hope you didn't lie to me!" Danis hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly stepped onto his carriage. Tisini followed him, closed the door, and the carriage turned around and walked along another road. direction forward

"Where are we going? Danis looked at the farther and farther outline of the city in the carriage and began to worry, looking a little worried.

"Kunmo Mountain is naturally the border. It is the highest point on the border. It is enough to give a clear view of the guarantee I promised." Tisini smiled slightly and continued to look at the scenery outside. In silence, the carriage stopped in front of a mountain. Down at the other end of the mountain, war horses roared, "It's the Falcon King's army!" Danis was no fool. He watched the majestic army spreading across his border. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted and said uncertainly, "How many people? You know? The Fifth Infantry Regiment is the real main force, with 7,000 soldiers!”

"Actually, I don't know either!" Tisini looked at the Falcon flag flying from a distance with a serious face. He withdrew his hopeful gaze, looked at his partner, and said slowly, "I only know that this It’s a force that can level the entire Rasonde!”

"Destroy the power of Rosende!" Danis's expression changed, and he finally fell silent.

He knew that Tisini was not a person who liked to talk big. In fact, he had already guessed this when he chose to sign the appointment letter.

The horn of war sounded in his hands, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. After climbing up the mountain, Danis was completely shocked. He saw tens of thousands of cavalry slowly passing by on the flat land below the mountain. , the black armor flows and emerges in the deep morning fog, as if adding a luminous river to the earth.
