Realm of Power

On Byrne Road Island, a line of Fezer Navy warships crowded the port. Other merchant ships that were originally docked in the port were squeezed into the corner. There were some loose cargo floating on the sea. Fezer sailors were loading the cargo piled in the port. The goods were being loaded on the ship, and several owners of the goods glared at these Feizer sailors wearing light red clothes without daring to say anything.

A Fezer naval officer stood aside with an arrogant expression, completely ignoring the expressions of the owners of the goods. He just shouted an order: "Slow down a little. Before the fleet starts, all the supplies must be transported on board, otherwise His Highness the Prince will blame you." Come down, everyone can't eat it and walk around! ""Just take it without paying, it's just plain robbery! If you have the ability, why don't you rob the Falcon Empire's caravan?" One person looked like A handsome businessman The apprentice, watching Sailor Feizer carry the goods marked with his chamber of commerce onto the ship, gritted his teeth and said, "Lyle, shut up!" An older businessman next to him quickly pulled the apprentice, and at the same time quickly Apologizing in another direction, they saw several businessmen from the Falcon Empire watching the fun not far away from them. One of them, a strong man with a thick body, heard the apprentice's words and his eyes suddenly glanced over coldly and saw the old man. An apologetic look on his face

"My own country is incompetent, so I want to harm others. If it weren't for the sake of seeing you unlucky, I would definitely make you look good!" The bald man's face was cold. The intentions of this apprentice of the Paput merchant were too vicious, and he was killed by Feize. You robbed it, and you actually wanted to drag your own chamber of commerce into trouble. If the old man hadn't immediately cast an apologetic look, he would have walked over and slapped the young apprentice hard twice, making you talk nonsense!

But the old man shouted too late. The Fezer naval officer also heard it. When he heard that the Falcon Empire merchant's goods were valuable, his eyes lit up slightly. Now he needed to find out what kind of goods the other party had. The officer looked at that person with ice-cold eyes. Little apprentice, stretch out your hand to hit He made a gesture and said sharply, "Come here. Catch this guy who slandered His Highness the Prince and put him on the boat! I want to interrogate him personally!" Several Feize soldiers immediately ran over, their sharp swords unsheathed, and the coldness penetrated people. The pretty little apprentice's face turned pale. He was just talking quickly, but he didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble. Originally, he was dissatisfied with the Falcon Empire businessmen watching the fun, and wanted to attract the attention of the Fezer people, but he didn't expect that the Fezer people would take it for granted. Didn't hear it. But to arrest him directly,

"My lord, my lord, he is just a child! Just spare him, we are willing to compensate!" Several Paput businessmen panicked and all of them knelt on the ground.

"Compensation? Well, His Royal Highness is a kind man. For the sake of the marriage between the two countries, he will give you five hundred gold coins. There will be no further pursuit!" Feize, a naval officer, sneered, and the old man quickly took out a money bag. After handing it over, Officer Feize weighed it with his hands and estimated that it was about the same. He asked the soldiers to step back and said, "How can our navy take your things for nothing? Understand, these things are your gifts for the marriage between the two countries. Your princess of the Paput Kingdom is in the fleet, and it is very gracious for His Royal Highness to just collect some supplies, otherwise, Haha! He suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with chilling coldness as he glanced at the Imperial merchants not far away. It was not possible to touch the Falcon Empire merchants without permission for the time being. But first find out what kind of goods there are, report them to the prince, and then decide, "Yes, of course it is a gift, we are all voluntary!"

Several Paput merchants said quickly, the expressions on their faces were uglier than crying. The goods were robbed and a sum of money was taken away from them. It was a big loss, but they still felt lucky. The Fezers were like bandits in the south, especially on the west coast when they robbed the chamber of commerce of goods and arrested businessmen. Things often happen, but after the rise of the Falcon Empire Navy, many imperial merchants poured into the inland sea, and Feize's talents restrained themselves a lot.

It's not that the Fezer people are starting to be reasonable, but the Falcon Empire's business groups are often equipped with weapons and armed fleets, and each of them is extremely tough. Moreover, the Falcon Empire merchants have the official status of being registered by the Chamber of Commerce. Once discovered, If imperial merchants are sold into slavery, the Imperial Navy will retaliate mercilessly. Speaking of the inland sea area, the number one rogue nation Our home is not the Kingdom of Fezer, but the Falcon Empire, which has an extremely powerful fleet of naval ships, marches to the city, fights without declaring war, and has a bad record of randomly bombing other countries' ports and causing huge damage. Compared with the Falcon Empire's navy, The Fezer Navy just pretends to be pirates and robs, and it's just like playing house. The Falcon Empire Navy directly comes to rob other countries' ports! but

It was against the second-rate Kingdom of Paput. These Fezer Navy really had no pressure. Even if the Papute Kingdom found out about this incident later, they would continue to remain silent, not to mention that the Fezer Navy officer mentioned that he seemed to take their things. He is still a prince of Feize. Several businessmen dare not bite even more. The meaning of Officer Feize's words is very clear. It's just that this little money is already very cheap for you. If it weren't for the sake of In order to save Princess Papte's face, she might even capture the merchants and sell them as slaves. Since the collapse of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group, Feize has been cut off from its largest source of slaves. Now the price of slaves in the country has doubled. However, the supply is still in short supply. Except for the old man who is too old to sell, these merchants and apprentices seem to be in good living conditions. With their business talents, they are among the middle-class merchants in Feize. There is a huge market for minor nobles. If His Royal Highness hadn't already issued the order, this officer would have ordered these businessmen to be kidnapped. At least it would be an unexpected income. "Let's go!" Seeing that there was no excitement, the bald man looked on coldly. The strong man waved to his companions and turned to leave. The Paputs were a bunch of weaklings. I was afraid that the eyes of these Fezers would soon focus on their own fleet. Thinking of this, The strong man felt that the goods on the ship should leave Bayern Road Island immediately. The goods this time were too valuable and were the profits of the entire chamber of commerce for most of the year. Once the Feizer people were tempted, it would be very troublesome. These Feizer navy were the last night. There were twenty warships, large and small, that arrived at Bairn Road Island. This kind of strength is not comparable to that of the pirates who encountered several pirate ships on the road. This is the real kingdom navy, and they are all warships armed to the teeth! Tearing apart a merchant ship is not the same as playing! "I want to leave now, but it's too late!"

Officer Feizer glanced at the back of the strong man, and when he saw the other man hurried away, he knew that the other party's goods were not simple, and he was already trying to escape. There were Fezer naval warships in the port now, could he escape? He turned around and walked towards several pale-faced Papt merchants, and asked bluntly, "Tell me. What kind of goods do these imperial merchants have?" "We don't know either!"

The expressions of several Paput merchants changed. The Fezers are scary. These merchants from the Falcon Empire are not easy to deal with. I heard that many of the merchant group guards are said to be from the Falcon Empire (I don’t understand the Ikadiva continent). The regular soldiers of various countries who were replaced after the cruel continental war. It was the killing god who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​​​blood. Even ordinary pirates with little foundation dare not touch the fleet of the Falcon Empire merchants. Last month, it was reported that the pirate king Barasdu had been roaming the west coast of the southern inland sea for more than ten years. , while attacking a fleet of Falcon Empire merchant ships. He was shot to death by the opponent's crossbow, and even boarded four pirate ships. Even a ruthless man like Balasto died. Who dares to provoke these Falcon Empire businessmen who don't know whether they are businessmen or soldiers? "Really Don’t you know? Are your mouths better than mine? Are your swords even stronger? They are just imperial merchants, what good does it do to you to protect them?" Officer Feize snorted with a sharp nostril, and his face was filled with murderous intent. He turned his head faster than he could flip a book. I don’t recognize anyone, right now. A crisp voice said, "These are sea blue beads. Although I don't know how many there are, but I only saw five big boxes!" It was the handsome young apprentice, who was looking at the few people docked at the port with deep jealousy. On a Falcon Empire merchant ship, why should the Paput merchants be watched? Why can the merchants of the Falcon Empire travel across the inland sea? If your own chamber of commerce is robbed by the Fezers, you empire merchants will not have an easy time either!

"Sea Blue Pearl!" Upon hearing the young apprentice's words, the air suddenly fell into dead silence. Officer Feize even froze for a second before taking a deep breath. The aquamarine pearl is something that is found only after the southern coast of Oparo goes westward into the sea. It is said that there is a vast continent opposite the continent of Oparo, but no one knows where it is. It is said that there is a kind of dark blue sea pearl produced in the sea there. It is actually something produced in the deep sea of ​​some outer islands. The background was just made up to raise the price. However, sea blue pearls are definitely among the luxury goods in the continent of Oparo. The highest record is a thumb-sized aquamarine bead sold for a sky-high price of one million gold coins, not to mention five large boxes of aquamarine beads. As long as there are a hundred pills, regardless of whether what this young apprentice said is true or not, Officer Feize feels that these imperial merchants should be robbed!

"Come here, watch them!" Officer Feizer ordered the soldiers with a serious expression, and then quickly came to the side of a battleship.

There, a handsome nobleman with blond hair was hugging a beautiful woman in a red dress. The woman was begging for something with tears on her face. On the deck of the ship's side, there was also a man covered in blood. A bloody middle-aged man, several sailors on the ship are using sail cables to tie the middle-aged man's hands and feet. As long as the sail is pulled open, the middle-aged man will rise to a height of more than ten meters in the air with his head. If it falls down and hits the deck, you will die!

Officer Feizer stopped with a calm expression and reported to the handsome nobleman with golden hair, "Your Highness, I have discovered a great thing."

"Good thing?" The handsome nobleman was in high spirits. He suddenly heard these words and was stunned for a moment. The officer Feize who came was his adjutant. If he dared to interrupt his fun at this time, he must have discovered something very important. When he was stunned, the woman had already broken away from his embrace, crying and threw herself on the bloody middle-aged man. "Really, how can you play with it when it's all blood! It's really frustrating." ! Throw this piece of shit away together! "Okay!" Prince Riya frowned slightly and waved his hand. This woman and her husband were accidentally seen on the street this morning. They were just here to kill the boredom. The sailors on the deck immediately took the The woman and the man were tied together with ropes and pushed out from the side of the ship. Only a muffled thud was heard from below the side of the ship. Prince Riya looked at his adjutant and said coldly, "I hope you have brought the news. Enough to calm my anger"

Officer Feize shuddered. As the adjutant of Prince Riya, he certainly knew what a miserable end he would end up in if he failed to satisfy the prince. Now he began to regret it, just because of the words of a Paput merchant apprentice. It was really unwise to come here to disturb the prince, what if what the young apprentice said was not reliable? "Your Highness, we found a Falcon Empire merchant fleet on the island!" Officer Feize swallowed hard. At this time, he could only pray, "Just for this?" Prince Riya's eyes became more and more Cold, handsome and straight nose bridge is slightly twisted. This is a sign that he is about to get angry. "Some people say that there are five large boxes of aquamarine beads on the Falcon Empire businessman's ship!" Officer Feizer said quickly with a pale face. He knew that if he spoke too late, he might be kicked into the sea. go! "Five big boxes of aquamarine beads. Are you sure?" Prince Riya's eyes were so bright that he was frightening. As a prince, of course he knew the value of aquamarine beads. Even if there was no such thing as a million-dollar treasure inside, it was just five big boxes. It was enough to seduce him as a prince. He didn’t expect that such a good thing would come out of his own trip! How could you let go of something that was delivered to your door! He is known as the most handsome prince in Feize. His appearance is not bad. He can even be called handsome and graceful. Under his two sword-shaped eyebrows are a pair of shining eyes. The profile of his face is like a knife. He is smiling now. look. But there is an indescribable coldness about him. Anyone who knows him knows what an evil guy he is. His favorite thing is to play with married women, and he also has to play in front of other people's husbands.

Even if he knew that the princess of Papt Kingdom was in the fleet, he had no intention of restraining himself. He did not care about a princess from a second-rate kingdom like Papt. He was the prince of Feize. No matter what, he had to marry a princess from a powerful country in the Kingdom of Aden, the Elro Empire. In fact, he was indeed pursuing a princess from the Elro Empire. He was naturally extremely dissatisfied with the sudden marriage arrangement arranged by the royal family. As soon as he received the princess of the Paput Kingdom, Prince Riya was not even willing to stay in Papute for one more night, so he asked the fleet to leave overnight, but was informed The fleet needs supplies before it can return. As a last resort, he docked at Bairn Road Island for one night. In order to vent his anger, he asked his adjutant to take away all the goods from the island's Paput Kingdom merchants at the port.

If he hadn't been concerned that there was a princess from the Paput Kingdom on the ship, he would have ordered a group of people to be captured from the island and sold back as slaves as his own spiritual compensation. Now that I heard that there are five large boxes of sea blue beads on the island, what else can I think about? What about the Falcon Empire? A group of businessmen, not a regular navy, as long as they keep their hands and feet clean, who knows they did it! If it doesn't work, just clear out all the people on the island. The island is not very big, with only a small town's population, two to three thousand people. Including merchants and sailors from other countries, there are at most four thousand people. There are more than 2,000 sailors on the entire Fezer fleet, and they are also equipped with heavy armored ships and troops. It is really easy to massacre an undefended town.

Prince Riya immediately said to the adjutant, "Take someone to find the Falcon Empire's merchant ship immediately. No matter who it is, detain it first. If they resist, kill them all. You must find those five boxes of aquamarine beads!"

"Yes, I understand!" Officer Feizer nodded quickly. At this moment, a sound of pedals came from a distance, and a sailor left behind by Officer Fezer ran up from behind in a panic and said, "The Empire The merchant ship is raising its sails and looks like it is leaving the port!"

"Dispatch the battleships and stop them immediately!" Prince Riya shouted anxiously, letting five large boxes of sea blue beads slip away from him, absolutely not allowed!

"Your Highness, I think it would be better to wait until the opponent leaves the port before taking action!" Officer Feizer interrupted him quickly and looked to both sides. Officer Feizer said, "It is too noisy to make moves in the port. The opponent is a merchant ship. Our speed is much slower. Even if we go out first, we can't escape. When we reach a certain distance, Let’s just say that one of the pirates imprisoned on the ship disappeared on Bairn Road Island last night. In the name of searching for pirates, we asked the other party to stop the ship for inspection. Then we would just kill them all. Even if the Falcon Empire Navy traced it, they would not be able to catch us. Ze Haijun's head, after all, we followed behind!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Prince Nichia's face was overjoyed. Although he said so, he was still a little worried about the Imperial Navy, which was the overlord of the Inland Sea. In the Lisbonto incident, the Imperial Navy bombarded Luansok indiscriminately, which could be described as a cruel surrender. Zeren was also scared. Just now he was thinking about how to end it. He didn't expect the empire's merchants to be so cooperative. No matter whether it was a tailwind or a headwind, the merchant ships could not outrun the warships.

It is said that the merchants of the Falcon Empire are tough, but I don't believe that these merchants can fight against the warships of the regular navy! What's the use of crossbows? There are large catapults on the Fezer warships. You don't need to fight with the opponent in close combat. You can easily destroy the opponent's merchant ships. Unless the opponent is a madman, he will not stop to let you check under the suppression of force.

Several ships of the Falcon Empire Baolan Chamber of Commerce swayed away from the port. Ten minutes later, four light assault ships of the Fezer Navy also left the port. Half an hour later, the Fezer Navy fleet began to raise sails. (To be continued.)
