Realm of Power

The conference hall was filled with people in a dead silence. Everyone wanted to take a look at Prais, a former important minister of the empire. Prais simply stood up and let everyone's eyes fall on him, his mouth calm. He smiled and said, "Plais is also a human being, no different from anyone else. He is just This is the first time I have been accused of being a spy. As a representative of the Imperial Bank, I had the honor to attend the meeting, but the result was very disappointing. I don’t know what Mr. Lecker relied on to think that an unrelated soldier could be in the business alliance. Are you pointing fingers at the meeting? I will report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully." "Yes, when have military personnel directly intervened in the matter of the business alliance?"

There were whispers all around. Plais's words ignited the long-repressed emotions of the merchants present. Tamara's behavior of relying on the power of the northwest military to suppress the entire Business Alliance Parliament has aroused the concern of most of the Business Alliance personnel. Dissatisfaction is just that in the face of the strength of the Northwest Army, the businessmen dare not speak out

Even in the days of Sokutus Stellan, the military would not directly send people to give instructions at the venue. The appearance of Laker of the Northwest Army not only made the businessmen feel angry, but also caused worries about the future. The Northwest Army Being able to intervene means that other legions can also intervene. Then when the military forces control the business alliance, will the business alliance still be the same group that seeks benefits for the entire business class? If this is the outcome, what's the point of forming a business alliance? No one dared to stand up just now, but now that Prais is backing him, naturally a swarm of swarms of swarms

"It's over. ¤, it's completely over this time!" Tamara was even more stunned, "Asshole, why is Prais here?" Laker next to him was in such a sudden atmosphere. Next, his face suddenly turned livid. He didn't expect that a person like Plais could be implicated by just identifying a spy, but he had already done it. There will be no room for regret,

I can only hold on!

He said fiercely to Tamara, who was almost dumbfounded next to him, "Why are you panicking? This matter is naturally supported by Lord Crolisate. I just sent someone to report it. Your Lord is the commander of the Northwest Army. Even if this is Plais was once the emperor's confidant, the pinnacle of civil officials, almost He is a powerful figure like the Prime Minister of the Empire, but after all he has lost his power, and now he is still working in a little-known Imperial Bank. To say that he still has the ability to directly advise His Majesty the Emperor is something that only we can believe! Just stay and wait until Lady Crolisate arrives!"

Under Laker's bloodshot eyes, Tamara finally came back to her senses. Yes, behind her was Crolissart, one of the five major military ministers of the empire. As long as Crolissart When people came to the venue, one of them was a military boss who had made great achievements for the empire and had a large number of troops. One is a civil official who has lost power due to the scandal. The two sides are not at the same level at all. As long as Lord Crolisate appears, these businessmen who have gathered together will not immediately give in. Thinking of this, Tamara felt a little fanaticism in her heart. This was really an opportunity sent from heaven.

Originally, military bosses like Crolisate would definitely not show up at the venue, even if they expressed support from the front. It's just that the form is greater than the reality, otherwise, I would still have to be so difficult. Just move out of Crolissart and you can settle the entire deacon meeting. After spending so much effort, you can only get a few indifferent words from Lord Leker, but now, the situation seems to be bad. To the extreme, in fact, he released Crolisat, the ultimate killer weapon, without any effort. As long as Crolisat appears here and firmly supports him, he will be the master of the business alliance from now on. All imperial merchants need to rely on themselves

"Will Lord Crolissat really come?" Thinking of such huge benefits, Tamara's breathing suddenly became heavier.

"It will definitely come!" Laker gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers tightly. The situation was indeed very bad, but after all, he was also an imperial soldier who waded out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He would never do it until the bayonet saw red at the last moment. Those who choose to retreat, even if they don’t know whether Clorissat will show up, can only hold on to the end.

Although he didn't think there would be any problems at the Business Alliance meeting, Crolissart was still a little worried, so Crolissart's current location was in a separate courtyard two streets away from the headquarters of the Business Alliance Building. It's not a big, elegant corridor. Covered in winter snowflakes, it looks like an ice sculpture. A white line crosses the corridor and is firmly nailed to a haystack arrow target against the wall. It's still some distance away from the red heart in the middle.

"Really, I haven't used it for many days, it's really rusty!"

Crolisate couldn't help but frowned slightly, and put down the hunter's mountain bow that had not been used for a long time. The pampered life had made this strong man from a mountain hunter gain a lot of weight, and his generous body had grown from arrows. The target turned around and saw a Northwest Army officer who was sent to follow Lecker, panting and running towards his location.

"What happened?"

Crolisate looked at the officer trotting over, and asked in a deep voice with a calm face, since this officer went to the meeting with Lecker, why did he come back alone? This couldn't help but make him have a bad feeling in his heart. He found Dorok merchant Tamara to form the northwest army's business group, which originally made him a little worried.

Tamara has not been in contact with the Northwest Army for more than a day or two. Crolisate has rejected this Tamara several times before.

This Tamara is too ambitious for the Business Alliance. She has expressed to the Northwest Army many times that as long as the Northwest Army can help her, she is willing to take over the entire Business Alliance in return for the Northwest Army. Although Crolisate is greedy for money, she is You are not stupid. You know that the Business Alliance is a deep water where countless people have drowned.

When the fat man was still the governor of Zivadin, he secretly established the business alliance. He was watching with his own eyes. Of course, he also knew that the woman Sokutus Stellan was actually the fat man's woman. Over the years, although there was no such thing as a princess, Although she is famous, her power and favor are definitely not inferior to any of the imperial princesses.

Turrit Colleen of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs was moved out of Lisbon. Outsiders said it was because of the newly arrived political officer. In fact, this was not the case. The real reason for Turrit Colleen's relocation was known. It was because the imperial princess had intervened in the scope of Sokutus Stellan, and there were also some in the upper echelons of the empire, Crolisat was one of them. However, when the Northwest Army entered the southern part of Congo, Sokutus Stellan had already After voluntarily leaving the Business Alliance, he began to think about joining the Business Alliance. The Northwest Army was located in the northern part of Gangfei, including Lisbonto, where the Business Alliance headquarters was located. Business resources. What's wrong? If he knew how chaotic the situation at the scene had become, he would probably jump in. Laker's unauthorized behavior completely exceeded the authority he was given.

"Sir, something unexpected happened at the venue!"

The officer quickly told the situation at the scene. When she heard that Sokutus Stellan came to the Business Alliance headquarters meeting again as the Imperial Bank, Croli Lisa felt her head was confused. He was rough. people. But he's not a fool, otherwise he wouldn't have become one of the five big guys in the imperial side.

It doesn't matter what the Imperial Bank is, what matters is the woman Sokutus Stellan, a woman who even an Imperial Princess needs to avoid. Fatty would never be placed in an insignificant position. Sokutus Stellan was the hand of Emperor Falcon that controlled the economic lifeline of the entire empire. It was conceivable that this hand was now present at the Business Alliance venue. His Majesty the Falcon's eyes were as good as dead at this meeting. My own Northwest Army stepped in, what's going on! After hearing the officer say that even Plais came out, Croissant could no longer listen.

He suddenly kicked over the table where the hunting bows were placed and said angrily, "Tell Laker to get back here immediately!"

Crolisate's face turned red, which shocked the reporting officer. Facing the enemy's thousands of troops on the battlefield, the commander of the regiment had never behaved like this. He thought that the commander of his own regiment was He was frightened by Plaice's name and quickly explained, "Sir, although that Plaice is a former imperial minister, he is now just a representative of the Imperial Bank..." "Is it the Imperial Bank again?"

Crolisate's expression changed again. This was the second time he heard the word Imperial Bank. "Notify Lisbonto's Southern Supervision Department! Laker, the leader of the Northwest Army Flag, interfered in commercial affairs without authorization and seriously violated the Imperial Bank." "Gui, ask the Southern Supervision Department to arrest him!" Crolisate took a deep breath, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead in the middle of winter, which showed how much his heart was shaking at the moment.

Sokutus Stellan attended the meeting on behalf of the Imperial Bank. Now Plais is also from the Imperial Bank. Even a fool has come to his senses. And the style of the name Imperial Bank is just like His Majesty Falcon's casual remarks back then. It is as casual as talking about a business alliance, but who would believe it if it is not His Majesty Falcon’s unique handiwork? Bank, has anyone seen what this is? Who else but His Majesty Falcon could name such a completely uncalled name! "Sir, do you mean to notify the Imperial Supervision Department?" The officer who heard Crolissart's order almost thought that he was hallucinating, and his face was completely confused. Crolissart actually asked himself to notify the Imperial Supervision Department to arrest him. Man, what is going on? "Didn't you hear? "Or are you deaf?" Crolisate snorted angrily. At this moment, his intestines were almost turning green. He only hated himself for being such an idiot. He had been drinking wind and water for nearly a year in Gaul. After years of hard work, it took a lot of effort to get His Majesty Falcon to think I got up. It had not been two months since I had been transferred to the southern part of Congo. As soon as I took a step, I managed to step on the exposed fox tail of His Majesty Falcon. God, I really didn’t mean it. Laker, this can only be regarded as your own bad luck!

The Southern Branch of the Imperial Supervision Department is not far from where Croissant is, just on a street, and it only takes ten minutes to get there.

But at this moment, the entire conference room of the Ministry of Supervision was silent. The heads of the Ministry of Supervision, big and small, wearing black uniforms, all focused their eyes on a fat young man sitting at the head of the conference table. The inspectors, who were extremely depressed by the police officers, did not even dare to take a breath at this time. They just straightened their chests and used all their energy and energy, "Your Majesty, the officer who reported the news has entered the other courtyard. "

A uniformed inspector came in from the outside and whispered to the young man. The young man made no sound, but tapped his fingers lightly on the lacquered surface of the table. The cold winter light outside shone through the high windows on the side. Coming in made the air in the room a little colder. He transferred the protective umbrella of Sokutus Stellan to the Imperial Bank, and then planned to transfer Situ Han in the Southwest District to the Business Alliance after the Imperial Bank really surfaced. He originally thought that it would only be a two-month gap. At this time, there shouldn't be any problems with the business alliance, but I didn't expect that the Northwest Army would dare to act so recklessly.

Taking advantage of the garrison's advantage and directly intervening in business alliance affairs, the Northwest Army intervened in business alliance meetings. His bottom line has been violated. Once this happens, the commercial independence system established by the empire over the past few years will fall apart under the strong pressure of various military forces. It is not known how many people in the Northwest Army are involved, nor is it known that the Northwest Army has already No matter how deep it sinks, he is ready to use the power of the Southern Supervision Department to clean up the Northwest Army from top to bottom.

I just thought of how Croissant followed her and fought for the rest of her life to found the empire. Young people still have hesitation in their hearts

Time seems so long at this moment. Judging from the time when the reporting officer entered, the result should have been achieved by now! If Crolisate really showed up, he would order the Supervision Department to detain him without hesitation. Because this is the empire's explanation to the entire merchant class, any soldier who interferes in business at will will be punished, regardless of his position. If not, the empire's commercial foundation will be completely destroyed! "Bang" When everyone held their breath, the door of the conference room was pushed open again. The inspector just walked in with a strange expression and handed over a report, "Your Majesty, Lord Crolisat of the Northwest Army requested the Inspection Department to arrest Lecker immediately. The reason is that Lecker acted without authorization and interfered in the Business Alliance Deacons' Meeting." "Oh?" The young man was obviously stunned. After taking the report and taking a look at it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Croissant was not too confused. She must have guessed something. With such a submissive attitude, I don’t want to embarrass him too much, but it’s impossible for me to get around him easily like this. "Send this report back!" The young man stood up, straightened his collar, and said sternly, "Tell Crolisate that you should clean it yourself. If you don't do it thoroughly, you won't be able to escape the pursuit." responsibility!"

Soon, as soon as the report from the Supervision Department was delivered to Crolissart, Crolissart held the report as if it were a red-hot iron, and sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. So did he anyway. Even though the Southern Supervision Department is responsible for supervising the important ministers of the military, they don't have the guts to talk to him like this.

In the entire Falcon Empire, who else but His Majesty Falcon dares to reprimand him in this tone! His Majesty's eyes have been looking at me for a long time, and he might even be sitting in the Supervision Department. Fortunately, he didn't move, otherwise... Crolisate no longer dared to think about it anymore, she just felt the coldness on her back. Yes, if I hadn’t reacted quickly just now, the consequences would have been disastrous! This bastard Laker just broke a hole in the sky. "Guards gather, come with me to the Business Alliance meeting venue!" Crolisate was about to cry without tears. She gave the order to the guards behind her and handed in this reply. Hold on tightly, His Majesty wants to go to the venue to handle the matter in person. At this time, if he doesn't know how to atone for his sins, then he really doesn't even have a chance!

Laker and Tamara in the meeting hall looked anxiously at the time that had passed. An hour had passed, and the meeting had reached the last topic. Tamara lowered her head, and Laker's hand was holding tighter and tighter. There was even a gurgling sound. At this moment, the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a group of murderous imperial soldiers came from outside. Faces poured in, and a strong man wearing the uniform of an imperial general walked in. The whole venue suddenly gasped, "Lord Crolissart is here!" Lekel stood up with an excited expression, his face With a victorious smile and hope shining in Tamara's eyes, Croissant came to the venue in person to see how this Imperial Bank would die!

"Where is the seat of the Reichsbank?'

To everyone's surprise, Crolisate, an important minister of the Imperial Government and one of the five big bosses of the Imperial Government, didn't care about Lecker at all. Instead, he glanced around and quickly found the Imperial Bank's bank account in the corner. The sign went directly towards the Imperial Bank in the corner. Under the watchful eyes of the general manager, it actually pointed towards the Imperial Bank. Sokutus Delan and Prais in the seats gave a military salute with great respect, and said, "I have heard about the name of the Imperial Bank for a long time, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today. Miss Delan and I are old acquaintances, and Prais Mr. Yis is not a bad person either. I wonder if it would be an honor for me to sit in this seat? "

"Of course!" Plais said. He could see that Crolissart must have been repaired by His Majesty Falcon and came here to apologize. At any rate, he had a good relationship with him and he could help him. Just give it a try, the Northwest Army is still the frontline army of the empire after all! "Wow!" The venue was once again in an uproar. What's going on? What's the background of the Imperial Bank? The business queen Sokutus Stellan, the former adjutant of the empire Prais, and now one of the five big bosses of the imperial side. Croissant, the leading figures in business, politics, and the military were all sitting in the Imperial Bank's seats. This background was unimaginable.

"What's going on?" Laker was already dumbfounded. Two Northwest Army officers walked up to him and said in a cold voice, "Lord Laker, by order of the Legion Commander, you are dismissed. Come with us."

"Plop" There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. The people attending the meeting saw that Tamara, who had just waited for the 13th Deacon position, seemed to have lost all support and collapsed from the chair to the ground. At this moment, who still cared about him? Everyone had only one word in their heads, that is, the Imperial Bank! (To be continued.)
