Realm of Power

The bright pale yellow winter sunlight shines down from the colorful glazed glass, illuminating the entire hall brightly. The voices of several officers sitting not far away float from the first floor.

"Although this war has nothing to do with our empire, the outbreak place is only a hundred miles away, and we can't pretend we can't see it. This time, the King of Ero's army came out decisively, and did not choose to continue to defend but to join forces with the religious group in Luti. From the perspective of the battle situation, this sudden move of the Yazibao Field War Front is completely puzzling!" An imperial officer said with a confused look on his face!

"I think this proactive attack by the Ero army is a stroke of genius. I don't know which famous general planned it. This time, the outer fort was breached in one day. The capital of Ero must have been in chaos. Regiment, in such a situation, there is no way to stop the fierce attack of the religious regiment with high morale." Another officer sitting next to him said with a smile.

"According to the current actual situation of the Eero Army, instead of causing a collapse when defending the Royal Capital, it is better to send these troops with weak combat capabilities into the wild. Even if they are defeated by the religious army, at least they can strengthen the defense of the Royal Capital. time"

"Ahuli is right. This time, Pope Putamia is personally commanding the religious legion. All the soldiers are elite troops with rich combat experience and proficient combat skills. On the other hand, Ero's real elite troops have three consecutive It’s less than one percent, but with the Lutia Fort behind them, it’s not impossible for Erro’s side to be able to fight. Even if they lose, the most they can do is give up the Lutia Fort! “The brown-haired one! The officer nodded in agreement.

Listening to the officers' discussions, the Supreme Emperor of the Empire, who was sitting next to the window on the second floor, paused slightly in his hand holding the wine glass. He stared at the street outside the window with a flash of surprise. Even he did not expect that such a thing would happen in the war. Unexpected change, I habitually stretched out my fingers to draw a few water lines with the wine on the table, glanced over, and couldn't help but glance at the corner of my mouth. It was originally according to the emperor's plan. After the Order Army breaks through the defense line of Zibao, Eero's army will inevitably retreat with all its strength. In the end, it will be forced step by step by the Order National Army with the Imperial Thundergod to the capital city of Eero. It will even be used to destroy Eero when the time comes. The weapon used by the army to defend the heart of the royal capital, the improved version of the Empire's Siege Thunder God has been delivered to the religious legion's hands, just waiting to give the Ero army a final heavy blow on its extremely low morale! If everything goes well, within twenty days, the army of the Order State will be able to enter the capital of Aero.

The moment the Army of the Order State entered the capital of Hero, it was also the moment when representatives of the Imperial Bank began to propose loans to the Order State.

In order to defeat the Ero Empire, the Order State has tried its best. More than 100,000 elite troops have been fighting outside for more than half a year. Rebellions are rising in the south of the country. Now how much loss can be recovered even if one of the Eero Kingdom's capitals is conquered? The so-called war , in the end it still has to serve political interests! The capital of Héro fell, and the entire Upper Héro fell into the hands of the Order Nation's army. With a population of tens of millions, the entire coastline, dozens of cities, and a large number of resource mines, these things were far inferior to what the Order Nation could The wealth obtained is more important. As long as the empire is willing to spend money, in order to save the country's nearly broken economy and fill the wounds of this war, the Order State will definitely agree to it.

At that time, the empire can easily pocket a large number of interests in the Upper Hérault region with only a few million gold, or even less. This means that the Hérault region, which has always resisted the invasion of imperial forces, has completely fallen.

But now, without having an advantage, the Eero army gave up its defensive advantage in the capital and took the initiative to attack, dragging tens of thousands of troops out of the capital to fight in the field with the highly motivated religious army. It seemed unclear. On the contrary, in the eyes of the emperor, the move of the Ero army seemed to be more of a desperate move.

The Eero Army voluntarily gave up its defensive advantage and ran out of the royal capital to meet with the religious order's national army in the direction of Lutia Castle for a decisive battle. To a certain extent, the Eero Army inadvertently set the stage for a sure-kill attack. The situation has been solved. If the Eero army continues to insist on defending the royal capital, With the mentality of sitting back and watching the defense line of the castle being defeated by the national army of the Order, it may appear more rational, but it will cause an irreparable heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers of Eero, and eventually they will be trapped in the royal capital and be defeated in the first battle. The foreshadowing was laid, but now, the situation is completely different.

As discussed by several officers, the Eero Army's proactive attack on the Lutia Fort not only forced the Order's national army to stop its attack on the Fort's defense line, but also forced the army to gather at the Lutia Fort and delay the attack. to advance, and the low morale of the Eero army, because of this rather bold and tragic move, will not fall into an irreversible situation, but may begin to skyrocket

Eero, who had swept away the decadence after the failure of the previous war and reappeared as a southern hegemon, was definitely not what he wanted to see now. Moreover, from the angry move of Eero's army taking the initiative to attack, Fatty felt a faint sense of murderous intent. That's right, it's murderous. Emperor Farouk of Eero is not an emperor who has never fought in a war.

Just last year, the emperor personally commanded a battle with a million-level demihumans. The commanding ability shown by this emperor was also remarkable, especially the initial assault battle. Even if it was placed in the empire's military In the school, it is also an undisputed model teaching material. Such an emperor who has experienced fighting with millions of people Emperor, how could he throw away the entire capital of the Eero Kingdom and the last military power of the Eero Empire in a fit of impulsiveness? If this battle hadn't been a battle between the National Army of the Order and the Eero Army, the fat man would have wanted to personally Let’s go to this place called Lutia Castle to see what kind of magic power makes the Ero army take such a risky attack.

A battle situation like a puzzle,

The emperor gently held his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought. He used the entire Port of Hérault as a condition for the imperial army to enter. It was just the most helpless decision. He looked at the crowds coming and going outside the window and felt that this city with a population of more than 100,000 people The largest port city with a price of 300,000 yuan, the thought of the most ruthless arrangement still made Fatty feel a little unbearable in his heart.

Strategy is just strategy;

If you just look at the map, then Port Herault is just a geographical term, and the population of 300,000 is just a data. But now, what you see are living lives. In the sun, businessmen shouting about buying and selling, wearing colorful clothes, look like birds. The girl jumping past like a sparrow, the business group driving the carriage on the road, these are all alive, once The national army of the Order in front was defeated. Facing the Hero army that was full of revenge, this city was the fat on the chopping block. In order to retaliate and encourage the entire army to defeat the National Army of the Order, Hero The possibility of issuing an order to massacre and plunder is more than 90%. For the people in Port Hérault, this is absolutely a disaster!

Just as the fat man was thinking, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and Parstina, dressed in temple costumes, walked in from the outside, followed closely by several temple maids. They had already washed away their brilliance, and their plain faces were no longer beautiful. In addition to her beauty, her bun was neatly combed back, revealing her smooth forehead. Smiling, but that smile always had a kind of sadness, Palstina walked into the hotel and waved her hands to the maids behind her, asking them to wait on the first floor, and then walked alone to the second floor. On the steps, two Imperial Guards stood there and saluted her respectfully. One of the Guards Captains turned around to lead the way.

"It seems to be the Grand Master Parstina of the Temple!"

"I'm telling you, there must be someone big here today." Several imperial officers sitting on the first floor looked surprised as they watched Parstina slowly walk up to the second floor. Pars from the Sky Temple Teacher Qinna came to the Port of Hérault temple branch to pray for the distribution, which has already spread throughout the Port of Hérault, and as the person responsible for the daily life of Port Hérault The imperial officer who was responsible for security naturally knew the former Sky Temple Saint, who was famous throughout the empire for her peerless appearance and kind heart. The brown-haired officer who was curious at first stood up and walked towards the stairs, wanting to take a look. Looking at who was meeting with Instructor Palstina, Konoe rudely held out his hand to stop him.

"Sorry, you can't go up"

Konoe's icy look was like a piece of ice standing in front of him, making people involuntarily feel chilled. However, the officer did not give up, and took out his ID and said solemnly, "I am Porto Herrault." The Sheriff of this area, Amber Teller, I have the power to investigate any questionable place, even if it's the Swan Dance Hotel."

"Ambert, your name reminds me of a good friend who has just been transferred. He has a nephew who works as a peace officer in Port Hérault. It is your luck to meet me. If I were you, I would take back everything Out of curiosity, I didn’t see anything, so there’s no need to ask anything!” The guard glanced at the ID in Ambertel’s hand with a strange expression, sighed in astonishment, and moved his right hand along the collar of his coat to slightly open his chest! collar, revealing the inner armor, on the inner armor A white heraldry about the size of a thumb suddenly appeared. In the empire, with the disappearance of aristocratic privileges and the change of countless wealthy families, few people would use such outdated things as family heraldry. Even if it was once glorious, with the empire With the expansion of territory and the loss of time, there is no glory left. Now people recognize the signs of powerful chambers of commerce more, but there are exceptions. For example, the inconspicuous white thorn emblem in front of you has a special meaning.

"White... thorn flower!"

The brown-haired young officer's eyes fell on the white coat of arms, and his face changed drastically. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and his suppressed voice was like swallowing a sip of the strongest fire liquor in the world. He who can wear the white thorn flower coat of arms The sergeant must be the most powerful guard known as the sword of the empire. Those who can be protected by the Guards are all important officials of the empire. I didn’t pay much attention to the appearance of the person on the second floor just now, but the black hair of the young man upstairs was clearly visible. Among the important officials of the empire, there are A young man with a dark mind, there is only one person in the empire, His Majesty the Emperor! , His Majesty the Emperor came to the Port of Hérault, and it was on the second floor above him. . . . . . Even a bold person like Amber Tel felt that his legs and feet were weak from the thought. He felt that the entire surrounding atmosphere was suppressed by the majesty of the emperor. He returned with a pale face. on one's own seat

"Ambertel, what's wrong with you? Didn't you just say you wanted to go to the second floor?" His companion asked curiously.

"Did I say it? I must have heard it wrong. I just felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach and wanted to find a place. I just went to ask for directions!" Amber's face looked better, and he said with a smile, talking to a few people. The two companions continued to talk and laugh, but they no longer dared to look at the stairs. After taking a quick look at her mouth, she walked slowly on the wooden steps leading to the second floor. Parstina's eyes looked at the second floor, and finally fell on the majestic figure leaning against the window who was thinking day and night. Her delicate body trembled slightly. For a moment, even though I had a guess, I still couldn't believe it, so I walked over with an affectionate look on my face. . . Why did you come to Port Hérault? ‘Parstina originally wanted to call Your Majesty, but the voice from the first floor could still be heard, so she temporarily changed the title.

"I heard that the mentor came to Port Hérault to pray for the branch. I happened to be in Feishan across the inland sea, so I came here to take a look." The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to ask Palstina to sit down opposite. , waved a waiter over, and ordered a piece of food for Palstina

"Are you in Feishan? I thought you were still in Zhongbia, but I heard that a rebellion broke out in Feishan. Could it be..." A trace of curiosity and curiosity flashed across Parstina's pretty face. The look of unbearableness, the empire's toughness in suppressing the rebellion, as a high-ranking member of the Sky Temple, how could he not know

"Fei Shan's problem is not big. In fact, as long as you are willing, it can be settled within a day. I have ordered to control the area and it will not have much impact. Seeing that you are so haggard, you should pay more attention to yourself, just like today Why go to Baiji Village like that in the morning? Even if there are any patients in such a small village, it shouldn’t be the turn of a Sky Temple instructor to go there in person.”

The fat man knew what Parstena was thinking, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He was thinking about how to take Parstena away from the Port of Hérault. The sudden change in the battle situation made him feel excited. The sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be a The illusion that it may collapse at any time, although Fatty knows that this illusion is completely unnecessary. The National Army of the Order is still an army of hundreds of thousands. Facing the Eero Army, which is still numerically inferior, even if something goes wrong, it will not be possible. It shouldn’t collapse all at once! So where does this feeling of a cold light on my back come from?

"I didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor of the Empire would be jealous of a group of villagers." A beautiful smile suddenly appeared on Parstina's beautiful and charming face. She leaned on the backrest slantingly, her slender body like a willow, her legs A pair of thin and long white arms, with thin, white and soft fingers holding up the hanging slender hair. Fa, sighed and said, "A Baiji Village does not need a mentor from the Sky Temple, but if it is an Aden noble, that is another matter. You also know the relationship between Ero and Aden. No doctor was willing to accept his request, so I was the only one to go!”

"Noble of Aden, how could an Aden noble appear in Erro? Are you sure you saw it correctly?" The fat man blinked.

"It shouldn't be wrong. Even though the other party tried his best to cover it up, he still couldn't hide the traces of the Aden nobles on his body. When I arrived, he was already dying. In the end, I could only give him relief according to the rituals of the Sky Cult, which was a relief for a deceased person in a foreign country. Well, the people in Baiji Village only know that this person got seriously ill on the road and was eventually left by a mission to recuperate in Baiji Village," Palszina said calmly.

"The mission... When did that happen?" The fat man's expression suddenly changed. There has been a mission between Aero and the Aden people. This is very problematic. If there is a secret between the two countries, Reconciliation, then it can be completely explained why the Eero army A sudden explosion suddenly jumped out of the royal capital to fight with the national army of the Order, because the 200,000 eastern border guards of the Ero Empire no longer need to defend the Aden people. This is definitely a powerful force enough to change the entire war situation. Then Where does this extremely depressing sense of crisis come from. Fatty already had a direction.
