Realm of Power

The spring sunshine is not hot. It shines from the top of the eaves of Imperial Capital's Dahai City, rendering the entire Dahai City as if it has been dyed golden.

In the distance, four cross streets with a huge square as the center form the central axis of the Imperial Capital. On both sides of the central axis are residential areas and commercial areas. The densely packed streets and alleys extending from this axis are countless. Like a huge spider web spreading out in all directions, it disappears out of sight in the distance.

"The empire is nothing more than that. The claims that the continent is the most powerful country and that the imperial army is invincible are all lies that deceive themselves and others. You know, sometimes there are things that are far better than the power of soldiers!"

Staring at the largest city in the entire continent, especially the impact of the huge red palace in the distance, Princess Luo Lan of the Kingdom of Aberoth, wearing a purple palace dress, clenched her slender fingers fiercely, light blue His pupils shrank slightly, and what flashed through his mind was the embarrassing scene of the empire suddenly declaring war on the Kingdom of Aberros after the Hungarian Rebellion two years ago.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of Hungarian cavalry were defeated. The various countries strongly demanded that the Hungarians be severely punished, but they were stopped by the empire. It was the Kingdom of Aberos who stood up to uphold justice. Who knew that the result would be a declaration of war from the empire. The empire was arrogant. The domineering attitude is evident, what happens next , I shed tears just talking about it. Don’t look at how fiercely the countries were clamoring to punish the Hungarians, but when it came to the Empire, there was total silence. Regarding the Empire’s declaration of war, the countries were like watching the fire from afar, and some even fanned the flames from behind. It's chilling to say the least

But this is the general trend. It is the general trend for the empire to take control of Central and European Barrow. The blood of more than 100,000 imperial cavalry swords has not yet been dried. It is even more eyeing on the Central and European Barrow countries. It is only a matter of words to destroy anyone. It was not difficult at all for the empire at that time to drive the army to break through the emerging Burrows Royal Capital and wipe the Kingdom of Burrows off the map.

Under the general situation, if others are unwilling to help, then you have to save yourself.

Facing the empire's hundreds of thousands of cavalry, King Aberoth only dared to wear thin clothes and hold up a white flag. He went to the imperial camp in person to apologize and agreed to the empire's barbaric request to garrison troops in Aberoth. Although the final result was , it seems that the Kingdom of Aberoth did not suffer any losses, neither lost land nor lost money, it just lost some face.

But everyone knows that after the Hungarian Rebellion, the backbone of the Kingdom of Eberos, which is most expected to become the leader of the Barro countries in Central Europe, has been interrupted. The imperial garrison of Eberos, even if it is only 5,000 imperial troops, But it is stuck on the kingdom of Eberus, which is all under the control of the empire. The Kingdom of Eberos, which quietly accumulated considerable strength during the Hungarian Rebellion, is equivalent to being strangled by the empire. It wants to destroy Eberus at any time. The Kingdom of Ross can destroy the Kingdom of Aberoth anytime!

This is the empire. Under the front, thousands of horses are in silence. In the end, the empire takes this opportunity to truly bring more than 20 large and small countries in Central Europe into its own territory! No one in Central Europe Barrow dared to stand up in front of the imperial authority. Even the empire announced that it would incorporate the Hungarian Kingdom, the source of the Hungarian Rebellion, into its vassal kingdom. It was obvious that Central Europe Barrow bought a janitor with sharp teeth. Dog, the Barrow countries in Central Europe can only pretend to be grandsons, hold their noses and admit it!

But this time when we came to the Imperial Capital, all the other kingdoms sent us were foreign affairs officers. Only the Kingdom of Rila unexpectedly sent a Prince Gavin Howard, and then the Kingdom of Aberoth was unwilling to be under the Kingdom of Rila and sent this prince. The famous Princess Luo Lan

Princess Luo Lan is a famous beauty in the Barrow countries of Central Europe. Envoys from various countries have come to seek marriage since she was thirteen years old. What's more, this princess is famous for her intelligence. The King of Rus is also waiting for a price, hoping to find a powerful marriage partner who can help the Kingdom of Aberos become the number one Barro in Central Europe. The matter suddenly became unnoticed. This delay lasted for two years, and it seems that it is still continuing. Although the empire has not publicly acknowledged it, there is still some information about the reason why the empire suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Aberoth. It was revealed that the arrogant Princess Roland had offended an important figure in the empire, and as a result, the emperor was furious.

This alone was enough to make all the suitors immediately back off. It didn't matter if they offended ordinary people in the empire, but the declaration of war was signed by the emperor himself, which was extraordinary. Who knew that the emperor was in a bad mood that day? , if this matter is revealed again, whoever marries with the Kingdom of Aberros will be in trouble together. , even though beauty is rare and feels very smooth in the hand, compared to the life and death of the kingdom, the royal families of various countries can still distinguish clearly. This Princess Luo Lan was directly on the blacklist of all major royal families. All the children of the royal families were traveling around the Kingdom of Aberros. For two years, even if someone came to ask for marriage, they were all dukes and counts.

The only one who made a marriage request to Princess Luo Lan was the Ruila royal family! "If no one really wants it, I don't care. But if the dowry is less, I don't want it." The person who proposed the marriage was the despicable King Rilla. He proposed it deliberately to humiliate King Aberoth. , King Rilla to King Eberros The country took the opportunity to surpass the Kingdom of Rila during the Hungarian Rebellion. He has always been worried about it. How could he let go of such an opportunity? Anyway, he also knew that King Abelos would not agree to it. As long as he could make King Abelos King Ruila will never be stingy when it comes to losing face!

This time the Kingdom of Rila sent Prince Gavin Howard, which may not mean that he has no intention of regaining his position as the leader of the Barrow countries in Central Europe. After all, he is a real prince, and he is enough to rank first among the special envoys of the countries. But the arrival of Princess Luo Lan undoubtedly broke this absolute! Compared to the yesterday’s Kingdom of Rila, the Barrow countries in Central Europe clearly identify more with the Kingdom of Aberros.

The Kingdom of Rila, whose foundations were shattered by the Hungarian Rebellion, had its royal capital captured, its south destroyed, and its population loss reached nearly three million. It would be impossible to recover without more than twenty years, while the Kingdom of Eberros The country is so powerful that they thought they had taken the initiative to open up the road and escaped the impact of the Hungarian Rebellion. Princess Luo Lan lived up to her reputation for being smart. , before coming to the Imperial Capital, he had already started to contact other Central European Barrow countries. After arriving in the Imperial Capital, he was not as aloof and unsociable as Prince Gawain Howard, but took the lead in requesting the empire to return the port, but let Princess Luo Lan showed her face in a big way and quickly won the support of more than fourteen countries among the Barrow countries in Central Europe.

With this alone, he is already a few blocks away from the cold and proud prince of the Kingdom of Rilla, and he has the appearance of being the spokesperson of the Barrow countries in Central Europe.

Listening to the voices of praise in the hall, the gloom on Princess Luo Lan's face finally disappeared. Although the reputation of the Kingdom of Aberoth has been damaged, and the country is controlled by the empire, there is no hope of ascending to the top of the Balot Kingdoms in Central Europe. However, the national strength of the Kingdom of Aberoth is currently ranked first among the Balot countries in Central Europe. What the four southern countries said is correct. In order to save face during the annual meeting, the empire had no choice but to fight. A swollen face pretending to be fat! Even if he dies, he will never forget how humiliating he was and how arrogant the empire was. Now, it's the empire's turn to experience this!

Princess Luo Lan took a deep breath, and turned around with her charming body in front of the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window. Her purple palace dress made her look even more graceful and noble, and she raised her wine glass towards everyone in the hall. , said in a clear voice, "The ability to make the empire bow is entirely the result of your efforts. I, Luo Lan, just did something I really don’t dare to take credit for what the people of Central and European Barrow should do.” Her Royal Highness the Princess is so humble. If it weren’t for Her Highness’s unique vision, how could we have accomplished what even the 300,000-strong Central and European Barrow coalition could not do on the battlefield? If it weren't for the extraordinary courage shown by His Highness, how could the empire have to agree to our request? To put it bluntly, without Your Highness, there would be no renegotiation. No matter what happens next, I, Lebia, will regard Your Highness as the most distinguished friend! "A tall middle-aged envoy said in a loud voice, Wearing a crimson dress, he is the envoy of the Kingdom of Lebia, which is owned by the Barro region in Central Europe. The country with the longest coastline has three ports controlled by the empire. Millions of funds flow every quarter. The tax revenue is higher than that of the Kingdom of Lebia in half the year. For such three golden ports to be controlled by the empire, Lebia The Kingdom of Biya is already quite dissatisfied, but in the face of the empire's strength, how many people really dare to express their dissatisfaction? But this time Princess Luo Lan actually stood up for all the Central European Barrow countries with ports, which made the special envoy of the Kingdom of Lebia feel both admiration and melancholy. Tens of millions of men in the entire Central European Barrow, under the sharp sword of the empire, actually It's a women's station "Come out." "The same is true for our Kingdom of Ziya." "The same is true for me, Kamedya Castle!" The special envoys saluted one by one, and a series of rising and falling voices echoed in the hall. This is after being shrouded in silence by the empire for two years, Central and European Ba Luo made a sound for the first time

Just after it was revealed that the four southern alliances relied on their strong financial resources to buy up the food in the Imperial Capital market, the storm had not subsided yet. The eyes of the entire continent were watching how the empire would respond. Just like the sudden spring rain, the empire's annual meeting was over again. The big news is that the Barrow countries in Central Europe, which were included in the empire's territory two years ago, suddenly launched a collective attack at the meeting. Among the thirteen countries, eight countries with coastal ports jointly requested that the empire return the ports of each country. Otherwise, the twenty-two countries of Central Europe would collectively withdraw from the annual meeting. The only ones that did not express their opinions were the Kingdom of Rila and Hungary. Since the kingdom became a vassal of the empire, it has been regarded as part of the empire by the Baron countries in Central Europe, so it is not among the twenty-three kingdoms.

The Barrow countries in Central Europe suddenly broke into trouble at the meeting. Although they had made trouble before, no one expected that the Barrow countries in Central Europe would be so united this time. The imperial minister Hu Keli announced the suspension of the meeting with a livid face. , it took a full day before news came that the meeting was adjourned and postponed to the day after tomorrow. Regarding the issue of returning the port, the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs will discuss it at the meeting the day after tomorrow!

This is a negotiation, not a flat refusal! That's enough!

The Barrow countries in Central Europe cheered, and the mainland countries also looked at it. The empire has really changed this time, become softer, and has lost its toughness. In the past, the empire didn't care about this. It would beat anyone who was not convinced. The barbaric empire The title is not for nothing. There are four southern countries in front of it, and now it is the imperial capital. Even Central Europe Barrow also joined in. Although they all believed that leaving it to the day after tomorrow was just a delaying strategy for the empire, it was already very extraordinary to be able to force the arrogant empire to bring this humiliating matter to the table. Has the empire ever been so aggrieved? It doesn't matter whether the empire is willing to return the ports or how many ports it can return. What is important is that the Barrow countries in Central Europe are finally no longer followers of the empire, and have finally begun to express their dissatisfaction with the empire. This alone is a huge surprise in the eyes of the mainland countries! "The strong impression of the empire is cracking. Since the empire rose from the northwest coast five years ago and swept the world with unbeatable and undefeated troops, the cracks have begun to appear as the Barrow countries in Central Europe began to express their opposition. The situation is changing. , The empire is not monolithic. As long as there are cracks, there is the possibility of expansion! ""The biggest weakness of the empire is that it expands too fast. There are many independent kingdoms in the territory of power. Seeing the Central European Barrow stand up, other kingdoms may not stand up. If there is one, there will be two, and there will be three. The empire is now difficult to take care of. They won’t notice us for a while. Even if we cancel those orders now, who will care, haha, it makes me feel happy just thinking about it!”

In another room, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey in the Four-Nation Alliance showed a contemptuous smile, encouraging Central Europe Barrow to ask the empire to return the port, in order to delay time and divert the attention of the outside world. People always like fresh and full Explosive news, now everyone is paying attention to this news, who will care about the four-nation alliance envoys who are now in a state of distress because they need to pay the full amount.

"If all the orders are canceled at once, I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden for long. Should I leave some..."

Duke Sukwa, the special envoy of the Martin Tooth Kingdom, said hesitantly that most of the territory of the Martin Tooth Kingdom is grassland and does not produce food, so this batch of food is still very important, and once the empire's army moves south against the Kalisu Kingdom, as Kalisu Kingdom, The Lisu Kingdom's backup Martin Liya Kingdom has to face logistical pressures, so it would be nice to be able to purchase the next batch of food as preparation for war.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Duke Sukwa. Although we have given up the food order, it does not mean that we will not buy food."

Bihasuri, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Kalisu, interrupted Duke Sukwa's words. The chief brain of the King of Kalisu turned his eyes sharply and said, "Your Excellency, Duke Sukwa, should imagine that once we give up these orders, , such a huge amount of food If it flows back to the Dijing market again, the price of the Dijing grain market will inevitably suffer a major impact, and the price will be much lower. When the time comes, we will buy it back. As for the real reason, who really cares! As long as it can disrupt Dijing, it is a good thing! The corner of the mouth is exposed He put on a sly smile and his sharp eyes were frightening. "And not only do we have to buy food again, but we also have to accuse the entire continent of Obarro of the despicable behavior of the empire in order to suppress us and force the major chambers of commerce in the empire to demand full payment from us. behavior""Yes, we We want to accuse the entire continent. It just so happens that almost all the countries in the continent have sent people here this time. How could we miss such an excellent opportunity?" Duke Sukwa, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Martin Liya, nodded repeatedly when he heard this. The entire Imperial Capital's food was released at the same time. The Imperial Capital's food was released at the same time. The price is likely to collapse immediately

Looking at Bihasuri's rosy face, Duke Sukwa felt a sudden coldness in his back. It's really hard to tell what a person looks like. What on earth is in the head of this guy who looks like a beer shop owner? This Bihasuri Hasuri is indeed the number one staff officer under King Kalisu, and he can even make such a plan. This is after destroying the image of the empire and the interior of the empire, and then starting to attack the empire's market!
