Realm of Power

Siconis, the prince of Aden, finally agreed to pretend to be a businessman. With the help of the local garrison, he mixed into a Falcon Empire caravan before entering the Erro blockade. Along the way, the Erro army could be seen heading towards Cornelia. The queues, the legions with great military strength, flying the golden misu war flag of the Eero army, the caravan entered Entering the war zone, they soon encountered a group of Ayrault cavalry who were galloping from the front of the caravan like a large dark cloud. A general Ayrault with blond hair and a dark red wolf head on his cloak suddenly reined in the horse, standing out from the crowd. His gaze fell on the Falcon Empire's caravan in front of him, his gaze was like that of the alpha wolf among the wolves.

"Which business group are you from? Don't you know this is a war zone?" The young general from Eero frowned slightly and asked with a serious face.

"Dear Sir, we are from the Feishan branch of the Falcon Empire Business Alliance. We have your country's permission to enter the war zone. This is our pass." Seeing the guide in the caravan, Siconis immediately stepped forward to contact him and took it out of his arms. A document, this guide is a bit fat, wearing clothes with a six-leaf coat of arms on the chest, smiling at the young general Eero

Siconis knew that six leaves was the logo of the business guide in the Falcon Empire Business Alliance. His eyes fell on the face of the young general Erro, and he quickly lowered his head. His face suddenly became ugly. He was pretending to be a driver. The coachman of the carriage, at this moment, his hand holding the whip clenched, and his lips trembled slightly. Why is he here? Siconis whispered to himself,

He found that he actually knew this young General Ayrault, and he could even be said to be very familiar with him. To put it bluntly, the two of them had been very good friends. Siconis didn't know what this young general's name was now. …≦, but his name in Aden was a small nobleman named Luo Siwu. Three years ago, he studied with himself at the most famous Suruzide University in the Kingdom of Aden.

Suruzhide University is the most famous university in Aden, and can even be said to be the best university in the entire south. It is the pride of the entire Aden. Although the Kingdom of Aden has poor military strength, it has a considerable reputation in astronomy, geography, and mathematics because of its connection with the Eastern Continent and the Oubaluo Continent. It absorbs academic research from the two regions, and this The young general Ayrault, whose pseudonym was Luo Siwu, originally chose geography.

Although Sikannis is a prince, he happens to be an authority on geography at Suruzhide University and one of the students of Fengsta University. He is a classmate of Luo Siwu. The two have been together for three years and have a very good relationship. No one is better than Xikonis. Nice knows better that this Luo Siwu will be here within three years. In the name of my love for traveling, I have read all the maps of Aden's topography stored in Suruzhide University. At the beginning, I had joked about the use of the other party just looking at the dead map, but now it seems that the other party is simply someone specially sent to Aden by the Ero people. It is conceivable that with Luo Siwu returning to his country, the desert that the Kingdom of Aden has always considered a barrier zone. In front of Luo Siwu, who is well versed in the geography of the Kingdom of Aden, there is no secret left. This shows how eager the Eero Empire is to annex the Kingdom of Aden.

The young general of Ayrault didn't notice Sikonis, not just because Sikonis' face was covered with mud. He was a completely different person than when he was in the Kingdom, but he also caught his attention because of the order sent by the Falcon Empire caravan. The seal on the order turned out to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Eero. The young general's eyebrows furrowed slightly. The two armies were fighting, but the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs actually allowed It’s so ridiculous to see the Falcon Empire’s caravans passing through. It would be crazy if all the carriage goods were owned by the Falcon Empire’s merchants. The reason why the Falcon Empire was brought in was because the Falcon Empire was needed to take the blame. Now that Cornelia has been captured, does this agreement still need to be abided by? "The orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be implemented in the war zone!" The young general curled his lips, tore the order into pieces and threw it into the sky. Among the fragments like a goddess scattering flowers, this Eero The general sneered and said, "From now on, the Falcon Empire's business group will not be able to pass. Please retreat immediately, otherwise we will kill them!"

"Sir, do you know what this means? Seizing or driving away the imperial caravan without permission means declaring war on the empire. We have already paid the repaid taxes before, so we should be allowed to pass!" The flattering Falcon Empire businessman turned cold-faced at this moment, with a heart-stoppingly tough attitude. This made Siconis behind him look a little dumbfounded. Are Falcon Empire businessmen so awesome? How dare he go up against General Ayrault directly?

"Haha, I can directly order people to kill you all, so no one will know!"

The young general Eero looked at the imperial businessman who stood up with murderous eyes. He slowly raised his hand. The Eero cavalry behind him began to pull out the sword from his waist. A cold light flickered and a fishy smell hit his face. It was obvious that this These cavalrymen are not showy, but they have actually killed people on the battlefield, and it should not have been long ago, otherwise the smell would not be so strong. "We are a business group of the Falcon Empire's Business Alliance. Every station we visit is clearly registered. If the caravan suddenly disappears, if you trace it, you will soon know that it disappeared into the Ero Army's war zone. I believe the Empire will know how to do it!"

The threat of the young general Erro did not scare the businessman of the Falcon Empire. The words that were neither humble nor arrogant made the young general Erro hesitate. He was a little angry at the Falcon Empire's perfidy during the Cornelia War. Originally, we were planning to send troops to intervene as soon as we reached the outskirts of the port, but until now, we haven’t seen a single soldier from the Falcon Empire. Death, on the contrary, it was because of the Falcon Empire's delay in sending troops. The entire south pointed the finger at Erro, and everyone everywhere was denouncing the Erro Empire's invasion of Aden. If it weren't for the smooth war and the performance of the Erro Empire, With the strong strength displayed, those kingdoms in the south that are ready to move may have long taken this opportunity to stab the Eero Empire in the back.

The current chaos in the south has reached a level that even the Eero Empire feels it cannot suppress. Several medium-sized kingdoms are taking action, either gathering troops or fully preparing for war. They have also borrowed large amounts of funds from the Falcon Empire's Imperial Bank. , no one dares to say that these countries combined will not be able to fight against Eero. After all, the Eero Empire is the most powerful in the entire east. If Cornelia, the fertile land, is captured in this battle, the Eero Empire's strength will greatly increase. The most important thing is that the Aden people, the biggest hidden danger in the east, will be eliminated. , we can change from the Eastern Front, which has required heavy troops stationed for hundreds of years. Deploy ten to twenty elite teams as a reserve force and march into other battlefields. This force cannot be underestimated.

If it was before the Civil War, there was still a certain balance of power among the powerful countries, but now it has been completely broken. The Aden people's vitality has been greatly damaged, internal chaos has occurred in the Order, and the Feize Kingdom has been suppressed by the Falcon Empire. Move on, the Ero Empire is the only one in the world. The small and medium-sized countries that were originally suppressed also hope to redefine their spheres of influence in the chaos. The situation in the south is like a crater, with the possibility of a major eruption at any time. At this time, who has more cards in their hands and is stronger? , it will undoubtedly be more advantageous. The Erro Empire has been waiting for such an opportunity for hundreds of years, this time. How could you miss it? At this time, the Falcon Empire in the North was defeated by excuses. Is this really good?

When General Hérault hesitated, an officer wearing the uniform of the Hérault Guards galloped from the front and reined in his horse in front of him. He bowed and said, "Lord Elidia, His Majesty the Emperor is summoning you from the front!"

Upon hearing the emperor's summons, the young general known as Ailidia showed no hesitation, and his eyes sparkled. All that was known outside was that the Aero Army was attacking Cornelia. But few people knew that Emperor Ayrault was also on the front line this time. Otherwise, how could the army of 300,000 Ayrault have cooperated so closely and advanced in layers, crushing the Aden army's blocking line? Unable to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, the purpose of summoning me was naturally related to Aden. I had been lurking in Aden for three years and knew the map of Aden well. What I wanted was not enough. It was on this day that he pointed out the weaknesses of the Kingdom of Aden one by one in front of His Majesty the Emperor, making the entire imperial world look at him and achieving a soldier's unparalleled military exploits. Thinking of this, he glanced fiercely at the Falcon Empire. The merchants and the merchant group's carriage were unwilling to wave their whips vigorously, and grunted, "You are lucky this time. If we meet next time, it won't be so easy to talk to, so get out!"

Seeing countless Aero cavalry flying from the front of the caravan like winds, the cold light of the iron armor whipping up smoke and murderous intent, Siconis's face became even more gloomy and terrifying. He understood the words of the Aero people. It turned out that Luo Siwu His real name is Ai Lydia, Siconis had seen this name in domestic military newspapers before. Aridia, the commander of the 17th Cavalry Regiment of Erro. ​​This time the 300,000 troops of the Erro Empire pounced on Cornelia. In addition to the one hundred thousand Erodi in front of them in the name of rebels, Among the four armies, the 17th Cavalry Regiment of Eero was the worst. The first batch of 40,000 rescue troops sent by the Kingdom of Aden from the Grand Oasis was ambushed by the 17th Cavalry Regiment and lost more than 7,000 people. Suffering heavy losses, in the subsequent battle between the two armies, the 17th Cavalry Regiment came out from the unexpected side of the desert desert and killed all the logistics transport teams behind the main force of the Aden Army. In the end, the main force of the Aden Army could not support the logistics and could only Making the decision to abandon Cornelia,

During the Battle of Cornelia, this Aridia stole the show and became famous. No one knew how he did it. He was more familiar with the desert terrain than the soldiers in Din, and even the local garrison didn't know the route. , he was also able to pass through it with ease, leaving a mark in the hearts of the Aden border troops. Now Siconis knows that this new star of the Eero army who rose rapidly in the Battle of Cornelia is Luo Siwu, who studied geography in Suruzide three years ago. He remembers that he once joked about the border with him. The terrain was discussed, and the other party proposed at that time that as long as As long as a light cavalry penetrates deep from the side of the wilderness, it can cut off the logistics line of the Aden border guards and cause the Aden army to suffer heavy losses at the critical moment. I once laughed at him for being whimsical. That desert is a famous place of death. The sky is full of wind and dust, and any It's obvious that people can't get out even if they go in. , he did it, and led the cavalry out of the dead land. As for how he did it, it is impossible to know, but if the other party can really find a way out in that wilderness, the other party may not be able to cross the desert of the Kingdom of Aden. Zone, go to the core oasis of the Kingdom of Aden in one go!

"We are not going to the Falcon Empire anymore, we must return to the Grand Oasis immediately!"

Sikonis grabbed the collar of one of his subordinates with a crazy look on his face. If it was just a guess, it would be fine, but the emperor of the Ero Empire actually went to the expedition in person, which means that even if the other party did not find the road to the core oasis, it would definitely not be satisfied by a small Cornelia. It was ridiculous that the entire Kingdom of Aden was still expecting the other party to stop fighting after swallowing Cornelia.

There were not many troops on the border, but there was no sign of the domestic troops gathering. Once the 300,000 Ero troops broke through the oasis, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Your Highness, we can't leave the caravan at this time!"

His subordinates quickly suppressed him and looked around. The Ero army was marching next to the caravan. The long spears like a forest looked like a white birch forest in the sun. The long queue could not see the end at a glance. Such a scene made Sikonis shudder. Cornelia had already arrived, why was the Ero army still heading towards Cornelia? Or maybe he had made a mistake from the beginning. The target of the Ero army was not Cornelia, but the side of the Great Oasis, the wilderness that changed the whole situation. If the Ero army gathered a large force and suddenly rushed out from there, the border troops who had been looking ahead would have no power to react.

"Leaving the caravan now means being exposed to the sight of the Ero people. Your Highness, please hold back and wait until night!"

Another subordinate came over with a grim look on his face, but soon, Siconis realized that he could no longer leave. Just as the border patrol captain said, the Ero army sent troops to the imperial caravan entering the war zone. The team monitored the caravan in front and behind. Sikonis saw with his own eyes that a fleeing merchant was killed on the spot by the Ero army.

Now the caravan can only move forward. In front of the caravan is the Ero Empire's Kailuo Port. Before arriving at Kailuo Port, any behavior of leaving the caravan will be treated as a spy.

Three days later, the outline of the Ero Empire's Kailuo Port appeared in front of the caravan. The Ero army that had been following it stopped here.

Sikonis immediately found the Falcon Empire Navy that stayed in Kailuo Port. The report that the Ero army might launch a large-scale attack on the Kingdom of Aden after occupying Cornelia was quickly sent out from the Imperial Navy Department. (To be continued.)
