Realm of Power

The sun in Fort Locke is not as powerful as in summer. Under the influence of the year-round ocean monsoon, the temperature in Fort Locke is over ten degrees at its lowest and only over 20 degrees at its highest. It has the advantage of not freezing in winter. The sea area and the nearby climate are even more pleasant People, both sides of the narrow road are densely lined with various broad-leaved plants. Perhaps because of the extremely abundant rainfall in this place, various plants grow quite luxuriantly, and the leaves of these plants are much longer than those of plants in other places. Much more lenient. Because the vegetation is quite dense and the various plants have lush foliage, the plants are closely together.

"It's the white thorn flower of the empire. Someone from the empire is coming." Someone looked at the white thorn flower emblem on the cloak of the imperial guards cavalry and exclaimed. These majestic imperial cavalry, with their red capes fluttering in the wind, "Like a prairie fire" No, that seems to be the Rila royal family Is it because I am dazzled, or am I unable to distinguish the huge difference between the white thorn flower of the Empire and the Kingdom of Rila? "Someone's eyes fell on the luxuriously decorated Rila Royal Car among these imperial cavalry. The carriage, driven by four pure black horses, Like a rolling stream roaring forward, the carriages that moved to the side of the road to get out of the way stopped one by one. "The Imperial Cavalry was guarding the carriage of the Rila Royal Family. What does this mean? Could it be that the Rila Kingdom has already And the empire..." Someone murmured in surprise, "Your Majesty is now satisfied. Well, this grand march is not just to make the matter of my father and His Majesty's alliance known to the public, so that I, Ruila, can work for the empire. Even if I want to regret it, I can't do it. As the Lord of the Empire, Your Majesty will adopt this kind of method. Disgraceful means, really disappointing! "

Princess Weixi, who had a cold expression on her pretty face, looked away from the carriage window coldly. She seemed to feel the embarrassment of the surprised eyes outside the window. Her teeth gently bit her white and red lips, and she looked at the opposite person with angry eyes. The black-haired young man, because it was the rainy season, there would always be heavy rains after noon and evening, and at other times, there would also be unexpected heavy rains from time to time.

Fatty and his party encountered such a heavy rain that suddenly came and then stopped suddenly. Fortunately, this place has dense vegetation, so when everyone was hit by heavy rain, the imperial cavalry outside also put on the rainproof cloaks carried on their horses and guarded them around the carriage. The bright red imperial cavalry cloaks were like balls of hot water. The flames attracted the attention of various people on the road. This situation was more like an exhibition. The situation made it difficult for the younger Princess Weixi. Although she knew that her father had joined forces with the empire this time, it was done secretly. Now that the other party is showing it openly, what is going on? This is not to sell the Rila Kingdom at once. , which brought the reputation of the Rilla Kingdom to the forefront. "Sister! Why don't you apologize to His Majesty Falcon immediately!"

Princess Samari sitting next to her was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly grabbed Princess Weixi's hand. How could her sister talk to this murderous devil like this? Once the other party turned against her, her father would definitely kill her sister immediately to make amends. Don't They are nominally the princesses of the kingdom, but in the eyes of their father, they are all the same. They are just tools to fight for Rila's interests.

She is different from Princess Weixi who is inexperienced in the world. When the Hungarian army broke through the royal capital of Rila, she was in Rila Palace. If Owitt had not rescued her in time, she would have been in the palace. A corpse. In order to avoid being humiliated, every woman in the palace was given a dagger in her hand.

Everyone's eyes are just staring at the palace gate. As long as a Hungarian appears, the dagger in their hands will be sent into the chest and take away their lives. Behind them is the palace female guard holding a sharp sword. , even if someone hesitates or doesn’t want to die, these female palace guards will give them a ride

Hundreds of people huddled tiredly in the cold winter wind. Regardless of whether they were princesses or princesses, they were more like prisoners at this moment. In front of the closed palace gate, the flag as a signal seemed likely to be lowered at any time. They must not be allowed to fall behind the Hungarians. In Yaren's hands, this is the secret order sent back by someone from his father.

Princess Samari will always remember the feeling of holding the dagger tightly and trembling, leaning in her mother's arms. For the first time, she discovered that death was so close, the burning city, the sound of fighting that shook the world, the thick black The smoke almost covered the city wall in front of it. The prosperous royal capital looked like It was a smashed apple. I heard that fighting had been going on at the city gate in front of it for most of the night. The dead people were piled up almost blocking the city gate, but the sturdy Hungarians were stunned and crawled over the corpses to pile in. Come on, all the city guards have been killed long ago. The only ones who are still resisting are the imperial guards guarding the palace.

That was already the last force in the city. Once the Huns killed all these guards, the first target they would rush into the city would be the Palace of Rila. I was only sixteen years old, and it was a blooming age. Why do you want to die? Samari doesn't want to die, but he doesn't have any choice in his own life. "I thought you would endure it until Castle Rock before speaking out. Although I don't want to explain anything, you should know that I just want a former The guide to the Medici house, but the one who really had other thoughts was not me, but your father. He specially sent a royal carriage inlaid with the royal coat of arms of the Rayla family, deliberately letting this carriage in the empire. Swaggering through the city under the escort of cavalry, since your father doesn’t mind making the relationship between the Rilla royal family and the empire public, why should I bother with it?” The black-haired young man sitting opposite put down the book in his hand, shrugged with a wry smile, and sighed. "Of course, if you have any objections to this, I don't mind other ways to get to Castle Rock. My men have spare horses for replacement, but I don't know if you can ride a horse?"

The black-haired young man stretched his waist lazily, which made the two princesses opposite Rila stunned for a moment. Didn't it mean that this guy killed so many people that he killed eight thousand enemies if not ten thousand? It is said that he was responsible for the battle in the Bavaria Highlands where there were snowflakes as big as a palm. Holding a knife, he ripped off the head of the old King Feishan with one hand. It was like a demon king came to the world and killed 300,000 heads of Feishan Kingdom. It was he who, with inferior military strength, fought on the battlefield of Istan in the North-South war with millions of troops. Was it like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sending 700,000 Confederate troops into the fiery hell? But in front of them, this person is completely different from the person they thought.

"We know how to ride horses. Riding horses is a necessary lesson in the training of the royal family of Rila. Even my sister Princess Weixi has won a good place in the royal family's horse riding competition."

Samari gritted her teeth and said in a clear voice. In fact, after riding in the carriage for two consecutive days, her buttocks were sore. She was also embarrassed. She knew that her father stuffed his two daughters into his car in one go and there was absolutely no beating. What a great idea, one man and two women, and they are very good-looking. They are two stunningly similar women. Samari is quite confident about their appearance. The Medici family has always produced beauties with romantic temperament, and her mother and Visi's mother are also sisters who are famous for their beauty. Otherwise, they would not be the same. Will be sent to the Rila royal family if the appearance is only 85 points. So the value of being like twins is not an exaggeration even at ninety-five points.

And the appearance of herself and Weixi is even more similar to the same person. I don’t know how many people will be in a trance when they see themselves and Weixi walking together. There are even jokes about the carriage overturning. Samari is confident, and with such two people, Two beautiful women are crowded together in a secret space. As long as he is a normal man, he will probably endure it. Not to mention the emperor's reputation as a lustful person. Everyone in Opalo didn't know that his father had spent a lot of money this time. No matter what the emperor did or didn't do in the carriage, the two beautiful princesses Rila were in the carriage. What happened after staying for more than two days will spread throughout Central Europe Barrow at the speed of the wind!

Thinking of this, Samari couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in her heart. This was the ruthlessness of King Rila, but she had to admit that her father was a good king because the sacrifices he made were not for himself. And it’s all for the Kingdom of Rilla. The empire wants Rilla to board the ship, and Rilla also needs a substantial guarantee from the empire.

This is the guarantee for myself and Weixi! "As a princess of the kingdom, while enjoying all the wonderful benefits of the princess, she must naturally bear the obligations that a princess of the kingdom should fulfill." This is what my father has always said on the corner of his mouth, especially after the Hungarian Rebellion, in order to save Ruila In such a decadent situation, sixteen Princess Rilla were married off within two years. The people they married included the royal family, great nobles, regional dukes, and even imperial businessmen. Some were for profit, and some were to repay debts. The kingdom The princess has become a debt repayment tool, so why talk about royal dignity? It doesn’t matter anymore. Ruila Kingdom is now a phoenix that has shed its feathers, not as good as a chicken.

If the Empire defeats Bion, then it is certain that the Kingdom of Rilla will be regarded as the spokesperson of the Empire in the Barrow region of Central Europe by the Barrow countries of Central Europe! , even if Rila cannot return to her original position as the leader of Central and European Barrow, at least it will be much better than the current situation of being unable to get up or down, and the empire will not turn its back and deny it, Rila will only get more The advantage is that if the empire is defeated, the Rila royal family has such a relationship with the imperial emperor. The Barrow countries in Central Europe will also be wary of rats, and they will not dare to settle accounts with the Rila Kingdom after the autumn. After all, it is only Bion that is the enemy of the empire. !

It was precisely because he saw this that the young man originally wanted to refuse, but finally acquiesced.

In the past two days, the two princesses of the Rila Kingdom have been speculating in their hearts. They seem to be calm, but in fact they are scared to death. Weixi looks as cold as a piece of ice, but in fact he is the most bold and direct among the princesses of the Rila Kingdom. One of them, but in the past two days, he has been looking quiet, and he looks very enchanting , but when she really faced the eyes of the young man opposite, she would tense her fingers tightly together, making it clear that even if the other party made any excessive demands, she would not be able to refuse, but the other party did not, and the other party seemed to completely regard the two of them as Air, the reason for Weixi's anger is more because he feels that he is being despised.

During this season, once the rain stops, the temperature will rise immediately, so the water on the ground will soon turn into steam. At that time, the hot and humid air will make people feel quite uncomfortable, especially in such dense woods. The water vapor that cannot be dispersed is like being covered in a pot lid, making people even more uncomfortable.

So we set off again soon, only this time, the royal carriage provided by King Rilla returned along the road. The black-haired young man and the two Rilla princesses directly climbed onto the horses, which was much cooler. Waves of majestic wind blew by, and these plants crowded and rubbed against each other, making bursts of rustling sounds. This continuous sound was simply like the waves caused by the trees.

An hour later, a huge U-shaped blue bay appeared in the distance. The urban area was about ten miles long and wide, with countless yellow spire houses stacked on top of each other, like a huge spider web entangled in the blue sky. In the bay, ships with white sails are docked in the port in dense numbers, many of which are The tops are all flying the various flags of the Imperial Business Alliance. From a distance, it looks like a large colorful flowerbed clustered in the bay, with countless colorful flags waving, and various colorful ribbons floating in the sky above the city, flying freely in the air. There are even colorful advertisements all over the sky, forming a very gorgeous scenery.

"Didn't you say that the empire has imposed a ban on all ports in the Barro region of Central Europe? Why are there so many imperial merchant ships in Fort Locke?" Samari's eyes fell in the direction of the port in the distance, and he murmured in surprise: "Fort Locke Actively surrendered to the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce and repaid all arrears With the loan from the Imperial Bank, the empire's commercial ban on Castle Rock has already been automatically lifted. "The black-haired young man reined in his horse, looked at the port city ahead, smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised the whip in his hand and pointed forward. "The scale of Castle Rock is actually not that big, but it can Within a few years, it has become the economic and cultural center of the Barro region in Central Europe. It must be said that it is the credit of this generation of Medici family leader Prentas. This guy is a diplomatic wizard and adopts a very dynamic and relaxed business policy internally. Taking advantage of the empire's trend of opening up the inland sea, Castle Locke The fort has been built into the No. 1 trading port in the Barro region of Central Europe. It has used its long-sleeved diplomatic methods to the outside world, coupled with a very effective golden bullet offensive, which has made Barro popular in almost the entire Central Europe. Even the Hungarians who had violent outbreaks at the beginning During the Tooth Rebellion, the Hungarian army took the initiative to avoid Locke Castle."

"And this time, it seems that he has lost face in front of the Imperial Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, but look now, because all the coastal ports of Barrow in Central Europe have been closed by the Imperial Navy, and only his Fort Locke, all incoming and outgoing ships This is the only place the team can stop. Beautiful It's hard for the Medici family not to make a fortune! So don't look at the Medici family jumping up and down, looking like they firmly support the Biang people. In fact, who wants the Biang people to win the least? It’s the Medici family. Otherwise, if the port of Biang rises, how can Castle Rock make money?”
