Realm of Power

Li Yuehua took out a copy from the document, handed it to the fat man who was watching the scenery outside the window, and said softly, "This is the information on the mobilization of the Northern Army of Gaul that was just received. The mobilized army is more than 112,000 people, including 57 squadrons. There are about 94,000 infantry and more than 18,000 cavalry. The general leading the army is Algernonkaja. In addition, Gaul Kyoto issued a mobilization order for the third time in seventeen provinces in the country and ordered regional preparations. Soldiers assemble,

According to estimates, despite experiencing the first two disastrous defeats, Gaul's war potential is still very objective. Li Yuehua paused, opened another document, and whispered that if the seventeen provinces of Gaul were fully mobilized, regardless of the logistical pressure, the Gauls' reserve army would still have room for at least 300,000 people, and it was already eight Yue, my subordinates foolishly believed that the Gallic Northern Army's westward march was not to launch a large-scale counterattack, but to drag the war into winter."

“Drag into winter?”

The fat man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Li Yuehua's analysis was correct. The Gauls had just recovered most of the northern areas, completely suppressed the Slavs, and their war mobilization capabilities had been further improved. However, they had to consolidate the recovered northern areas. In order to achieve combat effectiveness, it will take at least one winter.

"You are right, a winter's rest time is too important for the current Gaul! For this reason, it is more reasonable to rush to mobilize the Northern Army, which is just one step away from victory!" The fat man glanced at the document, Seeing the name Algernonkaja written on the general’s name, I raised eyebrows. Mao couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a rare look of solemnity on his face. He touched his chin and said hesitantly, "How could Algernon Katya be the leader? Is there no general in Gaul? I didn't expect him to take over." This mission is really a bit troublesome for us!”

"My subordinates are also surprised!"

Li Yuehua took a deep breath and nodded, indicating that he had the same idea as His Majesty Falcon. The fat man casually asked Algernon Katja about his situation after returning to Kyoto in Gaul, and they were about to meet again on the battlefield. Proper attention is required

But Li Yuehua's answer made him a little disappointed. She didn't expect that the fat man would pay special attention to Algernon Katya.

He glanced at the fat man with his charming eyes and said that the specific situation was still under investigation. He said in a crisp voice, "Algernonkaja was defeated by His Majesty in Biye Valley. After being redeemed, he was scolded in Kyoto." You idiot. If you are depressed, you will become a cripple! What effect can such a person have if he recovers?"

"I don't know what the Gaul side was thinking. They left the famous general Yarde who almost wiped out the north without using it, but put more than 100,000 troops on this straw bag and got injured." Li Yuehua raised his bun with his hand in confusion, and inadvertently The flirtatious look made the fat man's eyes light up.

"It should be related to the Kyoto Incident." The fat man picked up the information again and read the list of generals involved. He basically guessed most of it. He smiled and said, "Don't think about it. There is nothing strange about it."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Li Yuehua raised his head and saw the fat man smiling slightly. He didn't know why. His face turned slightly red,

The fat man said slowly, "Algernon Julia, this woman is really ruthless. I will tell you how the Northern Army mobilized half a month earlier than predicted. Otherwise, I am sure that the Northern Army and the Slavs will be together under the city of Naguld." Destruction, unfortunately, this woman seems to have realized this. She relied on the Praetorian Guards to suppress the Gallic military. Even if it was a western transfer, she would naturally not rest assured that the Northern Army, currently the largest military group in Gaul, would remain in the military. of people's hands.

"If you look at the backgrounds of these generals, you will know that the Guards faction accounts for the majority. Even the former commander of the Northern Army, Yalde, stayed in the north. The person who enabled him was also Algernonkaja. After all, he was her brother. In There will be no problem with loyalty. I know that woman very well. A snake that has been frightened once will surely have more venom than a snake that has not been frightened! "

"As for Algernon Katya, my opinion is completely different from yours!"

The fat man put down the information in his hand and smiled softly at the confused Li Yuehua. "As the other party in the Battle of Biye Valley, I am absolutely qualified to say that Algernonkaja is not a fool. Regardless of what the Gauls say, he knows the value of his opponent best." The man has only his opponent'

"That guy was also a pretty good figure among the many opponents I defeated. He commanded a large army of more than 100,000 men in Gaul at a young age. During the turmoil in the northwest region, he almost cheated me once. He had a good chance of advancing and retreating. His temperament is cautious, and he has the air of a general. The fact that the Emperor of Gaul can order him to take charge of the southwestern region, which is like a barrier, is enough to show that he has good abilities."

"If Luwangaka hadn't shaken his military morale first, the raid on Atlande had burned his military rations, and the final layout aroused this guy's greed to risk his life, the outcome of the Southwest Battle would have been hard to say, at least. If the Southwest Army chose to withdraw at that time, I would have no choice but to watch, and the empire's entry into the Southwest would have been delayed for more than a year because of this battle! "

"But he's not being fooled by you!" Li Yuehua blinked and said to himself, looking at the fat man, his cold eyes were replaced by a complicated and unreadable look. The fat man didn't notice this, but his eyes were filled with memories. looking out the window red wall blue In the villa complex on the top of the mountain, everyone saw the splendor of the Battle of Biye Valley and saw more than 100,000 Southwest Army soldiers being collectively captured, but no one saw the danger of the Battle of Biye Valley in the Southwest. They were linked together and planned for a month. Finally, the empire opened the door to the Southwest District.

"Creak"

The carriage drove into the area of ​​a villa. Under the bright sunshine, the quiet manor in front expanded before our eyes. It may not be as beautiful as those of the top wealthy families, but it also has a southwest-style blue screen spire, consisting of three hundred and twenty A picturesque corridor made of thousands of emerald green needles, showing innocence and beauty in its roughness. Next to the villa is a turquoise lake a hundred meters wide, with white stripes of bluestone. A group of swans fly gracefully across the lake, rising when they touch the water, full of nature. wild fun.

"Here we are, Your Majesty!"

Li Yuehua lowered his head with a red face, quietly covering up the panic on his face, and said softly, "Mexi Jielin's performance tonight is in the newly completed central hall of the southwest capital, but the place of residence is the Asobi Manor."

Standing at the door of the manor were more than a dozen servants of the Macy family, wearing brown-red dresses and with their hair combed and sleek. The number of servants at the door represents the confidence of a family. The Dorok Cloud that dominated Airei has declined, but it is still the top wealthy family.

When the fat man arrived, a group of people were gathering at the entrance of the manor, all of them young people wearing aristocratic costumes. The news that the Messijeline Performance Troupe settled in Asobi Manor has long been spread throughout the city. Thinking that everyone, known as the No. 1 Dancer in the Ikadiva Continent, is in Asobi Manor, businessmen and nobles from nearby areas flocked here. He came, but they were all blocked from the door. Some young nobles loudly demanded to see Mexi Jielin, and they were forced to do so. The Messi family sent a senior butler.

The senior housekeeper looked at the young people around him, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he saw several gorgeously decorated aristocratic carriages. Under the sunlight, the gold-wrapped armrests on the carriage facades shone with dazzling gold. This was The most popular style in the Southwest recently. With the strong support of the empire, the Southwest District has become the empire's business center, transportation hub, and strategic logistics center in the northwest region of Oparo. Rich merchants and nobles gather here. In order to show their differences from other families, I don't know when. . The custom of decorating carriages with gold began to become popular

"Everyone, please be quiet. My lady appreciates your kindness. Before tonight's performance, she needs absolute silence. If you admire me, you should go to the Central Hall!"

The senior housekeeper took a deep breath and spoke word by word with no expression on his face. He didn't use much force, but his voice reached everyone's ears very clearly. The crowd that was still shouting just now suddenly became quiet as if they were swept by a silent storm.

Many people's faces showed temporary confusion, and some people turned around slowly and prepared to leave.

There was a hint of teasing in the eyes of the senior steward, but they were just a group of ordinary people who could withstand their own confusion. At this time, he heard the sound of wheels crushing the road and horse hooves, and saw a group of murderous black armored cavalry guards. Driving a black carriage,

At the window, there was a fat man with a stupid face, looking at him with interest. The cold face of the senior butler suddenly changed into a smile, and he quickly ran to the black carriage and said in a very respectful voice.

"Sir, you are finally here. Miss Macy has urged me to go back and forth four times. If you don't come again, you will say that I must be lazy on purpose and will break my legs!"

"Yu Feige, I haven't seen you for two years. I didn't expect that you, who is known as the cold wind, would become like this now." The fat man looked at him curiously. Those who can become the senior steward of Dorok Cloud are naturally not simple people. , since Dorok Cloud announced its surrender to the empire, it has withdrawn the people who have infiltrated various places back to the family in accordance with the agreement. This person is called Yu Fei Ge's senior butler is actually the person in charge of assassinations in Dorok Cloud. He is a truly ruthless character. It is said that this guy was involved in instigating the second prince Ruedian to launch a mutiny and take control of Palaven. Look at this. With his red rabbit-like eyes, you can tell he is a guy who is really used to seeing blood.

"What is the cold wind? I have forgotten it a long time ago. Now there is only the butler Yu Feige!" The butler said as the carriage moved forward, while leading the way in a flattering manner. Under the surprised eyes of several servants, he pushed the fat man with his own hands. When the door was opened, the eyes of the servants almost bulged out. When did the butler Yu Feige, who never bowed his head, become so attentive?

When the Southwest Governor Salon came last time, Butler Yu Feige also forcefully asked him to get off the car at the door, but this time he actually led the car in personally. Could it be that the person who came was bigger than the Southwest Governor Salon? These servants were only recruited after arriving in the Southwest Territory, and they have no idea what our family really does!

"How are Messi Jielin's preparations?" The fat man glanced at the villa in the distance and asked curiously. Only he knew that Messi Jielin's visit to the southwest capital this time was not just for a performance, but to settle down. Yes, using the out-of-control northern Airei in exchange for the right to settle in the southwest region of the empire and the transfer of a large area of ​​industry, it is very consistent with Messi Jielin's decisive style. At the beginning, even the most beautiful woman in Dorok was able to give it away casually. Who dares to take a peek at a woman?

Fatty also thought about it for half a month before finally agreeing to this secret exchange. Dorok Cloud is an old intelligence agency that has ruled the Dorok Mountains for hundreds of years. It is the mastermind behind stirring up the mainland with various conspiracies. Such dangers It is better to place it in the southwest region than in the empire.

"Miss Macy has been very annoyed recently! Sir, you have also seen that the scene just now happened not once or twice! It's like a fly. You can't even drive it away!" Yu Feige held the carriage with his hand, a miserable look on his face. He complained to the fat man, "This is still a small amount. In Dahai City in the northwest, there were more than a thousand people gathered outside. It was literally killing people!"

"Haha. Isn't this what your young lady wants! Otherwise, with your Dorok Cloud's methods, it would be a ghost if those people could get within 100 meters of the mansion!" The fat man withdrew his gaze from the distant villa, unmoved. said

"Don't think that I don't know the real purpose of her decision to move Dorok Cloud to the Southwest District this time. She has always had a very accurate vision and is very courageous. In order to make Airei independent from Dorok, she even dared to directly plan it. assassinate me,

This time it was more direct. She saw that the southwest region was the economic and trade hub of the empire in the northwest and was the key development goal of the empire in the future. Instead of letting the glorious Dorok Cloud continue to weaken in the barren Airei Mountains. In the end, it was crushed by internal and external pressure and became history. Why not give it a try and learn from other organizations to transform into a business aristocracy? Rely on the influence of your lady and the financial resources accumulated by Dorok Cloud for many years, coupled with the status of the hub of the Southwest District. , coupled with your ruthless methods of Dorok Cloud"

"In less than three years, the Messi family will become the top wealthy family in the Southwest District! The most cruel thing is that your lady also deliberately brought gauze flowers. In this way, even if I see through her little plan, I will only I can turn a blind eye! "

"Sir, what you said..."

Yu Feige's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In front of his majesty, it was indeed possible to hide nothing. This time was indeed a big transfer of the family. Since the Falcon Empire conquered the Dorok Mountains, the status of northern Airei It started to weaken

Although still recognizing nominal control, the Falcon Empire has troops stationed there. It is obvious that he is the real master. The empire is becoming more wary every day, Airei's finances are drying up day by day, and the thousand-year-old organization of Dorok Cloud has also come to an end. Nothing will come of it! At this critical moment of life and death, the new second Miss Messi was obviously inexperienced and made several mistakes in decision-making that almost led to the family's financial ruin. If there was no change, except for disbanding due to the pressure, the Presbyterian Council learned from the painful experience and ordered the cancellation of Messi. The second young lady’s identity as the master once again found Messi Jielin who had gone away from home.

In front of the elders, Messi Jielin with a resolute face expounded the shortcomings of Dorok Cloud. Times have changed. The continent is unified under the falcon. The sharp sword with bright cold light has long destroyed Dorok Cloud. The centuries-old art of survival in the cracks was used to forcefully crush it. If Messi Jielin's face was not taken into consideration, no one dared to say how many people could have walked out alive that night!

"Since we can't gain a foothold in the empire, why can't we go to the other side of the sea! The empire is expanding its territory there and vigorously building strategic logistics lines. For Dorok Cloud, this is not an opportunity to come back to life." Messi Jielin saw Looking at the hesitant elders, he said loudly, "Look at Sa As the Rand rebels were wiped out, we knew that the Empire was too strong to allow the Cloud of Dorok to exist in the Empire itself. The reason for not using weapons was entirely for the sake of Mercyline, who was once an ally. If we ourselves are not aware of it yet, then what awaits us must be the sword of the Falcon Empire!

On the second floor of the villa, the fat man saw Messi Jielin who was leaning against the window and admiring the distant view. He had not seen her for more than half a year. The helmsman of Dorok Cloud was obviously slimmer and still wore a long red dress like a plum blossom. The waist that has been exercised all year round is so suffocating that it is suffocating. She is so beautiful that her heart trembles. She has always had a cold and determined expression. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can tempt her. It is different from before, but what is the difference? The fat man couldn't tell, either he was a little more worried about the tribesmen who were still stranded in Dorok, or he had just settled down in the southwest, and he still hadn't been able to let go of the speculation along the way!

It wasn't until the fat man walked into the room that Meijielin turned around and looked at him. Her lips parted slightly and she said, "Your Majesty, it's just the right time to come here. You can sit back and watch the storm rise in the southwest. Now there are undercurrents surging in the southwest, but I am a weak woman." Isn’t it too immoral to light this fire?”

The fat man sat down next to her and said in a deep voice, "I promised Dorok Cloud to move to the Southwest District, which is already very good. You need a chance to express your decision, so I will give you this opportunity. Knowing that you are Dorok Cloud's There are many people, and there are even more enemies and enemies. You In Airey, the defense was tight, and they had no choice. Now that they are in the southwest, it is difficult to say. It is a good thing for you to express it early, not a bad thing! It’s pretty good even if the army comes here!”

Messi Jielin frowned and said: "Don't say it so harshly, okay? I need people but no one, and I need weapons but no weapons. Now I am isolated and helpless, so you should help me! Otherwise, I will let the tulle flower be the first to take the stage." Show! I'm sure they'll be the first to hit the stage!"

"If that's the case, then you, the Cloud of Dorok, should be prepared to be buried with me!" The fat man's face turned cold, and he raised his hands and clapped them. Li Yuehua walked in from the door, and the fat man pointed at her and said, "Since we were once allies, you can ask her for anything you want. Except for the heavy weapons of the army, everything else is fine! I know your methods, and you also know that I have to pay you to do things. Even if we are allies, we can't owe you money. 500,000 gold coins, I will go to see the show tonight, don't make it bloody, it will spoil the fun!"
