Realm of Power

On a sunny day after heavy snowfall, under a pale sky, in the distance a large merchant ship flying the flag of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce slowly sailed into the port of Hérault, which had completed its initial scale. The fat man stood on the balcony and took a sip of the fragrant Chinese medicine. Biyacha put the report he received on the table, looked at Palstina opposite and said, "The port has been partially restored. At least there will be no major problems when the ship docks. When is the instructor going to go back?"

Palstina showed an indifferent expression, looking at the distant port scene with a pair of pretty eyes, showing a touch of sadness: "Your Majesty, do you really hope that I leave the Port of Hérault immediately, so that I won't cause you any more trouble?" ? If this is the case, I can leave for home immediately in the afternoon and never appear in front of Your Majesty again in this life? "

"Why is the mentor doing this? You know, I have no intention of driving the mentor away."

The fat man smiled bitterly. Thinking of the scene where he saw Parstina safely on the top of Luowu Mountain a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. Who would have thought that Pu'er Mia would use Parstina as a cover? In this way, he deceived everyone's eyes and suddenly returned to the country of the Order in a whirlwind manner.

Pope Potamia returned with the momentum and army of defeating the Ero Empire. The Order's border guards defected without fighting. The important figure of the Templars in charge of the entire border, the Grand Knight Hornde, died in the battle. It was at this moment that , the news that the secret troops of the Order State massacred the Sky Cult priests in the Sky Temple of Port Héro under the control of the empire was also spread back to the Order, and the Order was in chaos.

"What on earth does the Presbyterian Council want to do! It's not good to offend anyone but the Empire!"

"Pudamia is not very scary. In the final analysis, the Pope's return is just a civil war in the Order State. No matter who the winner is, it will have little impact on the Order State. Everyone can just follow and watch the excitement. Okay, but now that the empire is involved, the meaning changes completely!"

The Presbyterian Church has held the power of the Order State for decades, and there are many people who have objections to the Presbyterian Church. In the war between the Pope and the Presbyterian Church, many forces hope to take advantage of this civil strife to gain influence in the Order. The power levels in the country are undergoing a new reshuffle, but once the hidden troops under the control of the Council of Elders of the Order State actually caused such a cruel bloodbath in the Port of Hérault controlled by the empire, it would be a big mistake.

Who doesn’t know that the style of the Northern Barbarian Falcon Empire has always been to pay blood for blood? More than thirty Sky Temple priests were killed during the Incense Festival. This was like watching the entire Obarro He slapped the empire in the face, how could the empire endure it!

The Imperial Navy fleet staying in the waters of the Port of Hérault went against the wind that day and directly approached the coastal line of the Order State. Countless warships and sails appeared like a forest on the sea on the sea surface of the coastal port of Alon of the Order State. , the officials of the Order State at Alon Port were so frightened that they ran away. More than 10,000 Order people in the port even fled from Alon Port in a hurry. Under the Imperial Navy's Thunder God, even a fortified city like the Royal Capital was the same. Will turn into powder

What's more, in the small Alon Port, the only thing that can be seen is the three-story building of the Port Governor's Palace. The other buildings are mostly made of rubble. I'm afraid that under a thunder god, the entire Hong Kong will be destroyed. Turned into ruins. Overnight, many forces that were previously unfavorable about Putamia's return suddenly changed their direction. The Presbyterian Church, which had a certain moral advantage, immediately saw its reputation plummet. After all, it was killing unarmed priests at any time. This is something that the region cannot tolerate, and the Presbyterian Church does not dare to say that it was deceived by Putamia. It can only admit it by being dumb and eating coptis.

The report just sent shows that in addition to the defection of 50,000 border guards, one more provincial governor among the three provincial governors on the route to the king's capital of the Order has declared his loyalty to Putamia.

In just a few days, the church has undergone earth-shaking changes in the country. Potamia's reputation has increased even more. The name of the Valkyrie Potamia has become even more prestigious. She single-handedly defeated an army of 300,000 eros. , the former pope who killed Emperor Farouk, the hero of the Eero generation, now returns home with an army of 100,000, who dares to have the slightest contempt for him!

I'm afraid only the emperor knows what Potamia did here.

Under the strong military pressure of the empire, the Presbyterian Church in the church urgently sent a special envoy to explain the matter. Naturally, the fat man would not see him and left it directly to Varisien, who was angry because of the temple massacre.

Varisien was worried about the temple incident, and he unceremoniously shut out the special envoy of the Order State. So many sky priests died, and the Elders of the Order State actually wanted to use a province to deal with this matter. In the past, and this province was still in the northern region of Hérault, it was the region of Pudamia! Isn't this a joke about the empire?

Are you really treating the empire like a fool?

Thinking of what the emperor said to him that day, Varisien felt itchy with hatred. I was almost beaten to death because of you bastards. Why do you still want me to say nice things now?

"The emperor's attitude has been very clear. According to the number of priests of the Temple of Death, one temple priest is equivalent to a city of the Order State. Thirty-eight human lives need to be offset by thirty-eight cities of the Order State. One less person No way!" During the secret meeting, Varisien's unceremonious negotiation conditions were pressed on the table, like a ruthless humanoid ice sculpture.

"There are only one hundred and seventy-three cities in the entire Order. Just because of this matter, we have to take out one-sixth of our cities. This is too much. Can we reduce it some? Ten to twenty can be considered. "...ahem!" "The special envoy of the Presbyterian Church is also a member of the Presbyterian Church. He is in his fifties, somewhat wealthy, bald, and made a dry cough. In fact, he also knows that the Presbyterian Church only offers a province to compensate for the empire. , it is simply impossible to get the empire to agree. All he wants is for the empire to negotiate. If it is a formality, even if it is just an agreement to negotiate, then the news will be spread back to the country of the Order immediately. As long as it is slightly modified, it will inevitably become the news that the empire has agreed to help the Presbyterian Church, and the Presbyterian Council can regain the advantage. Those who are biased towards Puda Mia's forces will also line up again! This plan is really a snap!

Therefore, the talks between the two parties are under such circumstances. Each has its own agenda and delays have become the consensus of both parties. As for the progress of the negotiations, who cares!

Varisien has already mobilized 20,000 imperial troops from the Istan region and landed on the northern coast of the Order State. However, such a thing will not be known to the other party. The war is imminent, and negotiations are just a means to deceive the other party. As the special envoy, they also believed that the empire had been deceived, and the news of the secret meeting between the empire and the Presbyterian Church of the Order Country could not wait to be transmitted back.

The only one who can accurately grasp all this is the Emperor of the Empire.

The fat man was a little anxious and wanted Parstina to return home immediately. It was precisely for this reason that

There is no doubt that this negotiation without sincerity on both sides may stop at any time. The moment the secret meeting ends, it will be the moment the war breaks out between the Empire and the Presbyterian Church. Then the truth about the Empire's long-planned plan for this incident will be revealed. It was revealed that the tragic deaths of more than thirty Sky Temple priests eventually became bargaining chips in the exchange of interests for the empire. Fatty could not even imagine what kind of expression Parstina would look at him when the time came.

If it were someone else, the tragic death of more than 30 Sky Temple priests would be worth ten thousand lives for one life. The worst he could do was go on a killing spree and chop off 360,000 heads within the sect. Anyway, the Order State is currently in a state of civil war, and the Empire is famous for its achievements. With the violence of the Temple Massacre, there is nothing wrong with what the Empire does!

But for Palstina, who cares about life, this is definitely not a good idea.

We can't delay any longer. This guy Varisien is already complaining that he doesn't want to talk any more. This afternoon he will take an imperial battleship to the north coast of Eero to direct the war against the Presbyterian Council of the Order State! Everything will be clear by then!

The fat man clenched his fingers, stood up from his seat, faced the direction of the port, and pretended to be cold and said, "Teacher, don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to be in danger. The woman Putamia returns to the country this time." , has taken away most of the military strength in the northern part of Héro, leaving only 20,000 religious legion troops in the capital of Héro. If I were The Hérault royal family will definitely not give up such an excellent opportunity to counterattack. I don’t know when the war will start again in the north of Hérault. This place is only more than two hundred miles away from the north of Hérault. Once the royal capital is recaptured by the Hérault people again, , I will definitely not let Port Hérault go. With the army under pressure again, I really don’t feel at ease letting my mentor stay here.”

Hearing Fatty say that the war with Eero might break out next time, and thinking that because of her stubbornness, the empire had intervened in the battle in the north of Eero, which ultimately resulted in more than 300,000 tragic casualties, Parstina's pretty face smiled slightly. As soon as her teeth turned white and her teeth clenched tightly on her red lips, the fat man's white lie finally convinced Parstina. Parstina promised to take a boat back to the empire area north of the inland sea in the afternoon.

"Do you need a disciple to give you a ride?"

The fat man's eyes fell on Parstina's graceful figure, his expression was moved, and he secretly felt a little embarrassed for his lies. Since the Eero royal family moved south, there has been internal strife over the position of emperor. The governors watched the excitement, and there were also a few who followed behind and added fuel to the fire.

Just a dozen days ago, the princes had completely broken up with each other. Now they are all beaten to a pulp and have no time to take care of themselves. Who still thinks about counterattacking the capital of Aero? That is to say, Palstina, who just didn't know the situation, was okay. Sure enough, the compassionate little sheep of Palstina was fooled. After hearing that Port Hérault might be involved in a cruel war again, Palstina After hesitating for a while, he compromised.

"I will board the ship and return to the north of the inland sea in the afternoon!"

"There's no need to be in such a hurry!" I don't know why, but I suddenly don't want to stay here anymore. "Palskina stood on the balcony, looking affectionately at the blue sea in front of her. Under the sun, the sails were like clouds, and they were being expanded. The new port of Hérault was built like a huge spider web spreading towards the distant land. On the outskirts of the city, you can see large areas of recently reclaimed wasteland. Such a beautiful scene reminded her of those dead priests. They were all good people. They had also talked many times about what would happen after the reconstruction of Port Hérault. Such a scene, but now, they have no chance to see the beautiful scenery of Port Hérault after its completion!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, three Imperial Dragon Teeth warships appeared on the sea surface of the port after receiving the order.

One of them sailed into the Port of Hérault and docked steadily at the pier in the port. A baffle was lowered, and Palstina stepped forward to the deck of the Dragon Tooth battleship with a light body. She turned around and faced the fat man. Said, "Although such a request is a bit rash, if possible, I hope that Your Majesty will try his best to prevent the Port of Hérault from being involved in the war again." "I will try my best. The empire has spent so much money to rebuild the Port of Hérault. It's in ruins again!"

The fat man smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and waved to Palstina. He watched the Dragon Tooth battleship draw a graceful arc on the water in the port, and quickly headed towards the sea outside the port. The long triangular bow of the ship Like a guillotine cutting through the calm winter sea, the other two Dragon Tooth battleships docked outside the port followed closely, shining golden in the sun.

In half an hour, the three Dragon Tooth battleships turned into a small disappearing dot on the horizon... "Finally gone!"

The fat man looked away from a distance, heaving a sigh of relief, and touched his forehead where there was no trace of sweat. Parstina's presence was like a shackle, and he always had worries about many things. , now that Palstina is gone, the fat man can feel that the shackles that restrain him have disappeared. He feels so much more relaxed! It's much better now. Eat me, take my food, take advantage of me, wait for me!

Varisien, who was standing behind him, saw the cruel smile on the emperor's face. His body trembled slightly and he came to the emperor and saluted respectfully.

At another exit of the port, the huge body of an Imperial Dragon-class battleship floated on the sea. The heavy hull and even the squeezing seawater kept hitting the port. Next to the Dragon-class battleship, there were more than a dozen Imperial Dragon-class battleships and hundreds of hundreds of Imperial Dragon-class battleships. The remaining Imperial transport fleets were loaded with combat supplies and were about to head to the northern part of the Order State.

Varisien's body was straight, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, and he said with great respect, "My subordinates are about to set off. Is there anything else that your Majesty needs to say in particular?" "Tell Pudamia that before you become a Muslim, Zong Qian, think about how to explain to the empire, otherwise, I will bring trouble to her and the Presbyterian Council! "The fat man stopped his smile, and his expression turned cold." Putamia suddenly made a false move with her sword! , not only hard dip In the light of our empire, they took advantage of the temple tragedy to the extreme, turning the Presbyterian Church of the Order from an advantage to a disadvantage overnight. Although the empire knew that putting pressure on the Presbyterian Church would only help Puda. Mia, but due to the situation, she had to mobilize the Imperial Navy to the waters of the Order State, and put on a posture that war could start at any time. This woman has gained such a big advantage, she can't just express it casually! "
