Realm of Power

Two days have passed since the destruction of Albert's army. A cavalry with the banner of the Hokuriku nobles appeared in front of the Imperial military camp.

"I am Gengsala, the current head of Gengdi's family in the North China. I came to your army hoping to take back my grandfather's body!" The leader was a fourteen-year-old boy with long flaxen hair. With a ponytail and an armor with the Geng Di family crest on her body, which obviously did not suit her small body, she came to the army under the leadership of the imperial guards. "Sir, The Gengdi family in Beilu requested to see "The guards reported to the inside" to let him in! "A heavy voice came out. The person sitting in the military tent was Lytle. After all, he was the person in charge of the northward march on the west coast. Originally Lytle I thought that the nobles of the Northern Territory would immediately come to the Empire after the defeat of Albert's army. Who knew that it was not until two days of waiting that a Geng Di family finally came to the door?

Duke Gengdy's only son died in Fezer's civil war. This was not a secret in the Northland, so Lytle recognized at first glance that this was not a boy, but a girl. It seemed that there was a girl outside Roston City. The war has indeed almost wiped out the top nobles of the North Continent. Even the Geng Di family, known as the head of the North Continent, is now in the same situation. "The bravery of the Grand Duke Geng Di is admirable, and he is worthy of being a model for the entire North Continent. , please express your condolences! "Letter face" There was a trace of hesitation on his face, he took a deep breath, and leaned forward according to the general noble etiquette of Southern European Barro. "Are you brave? Your Majesty, what you said is interesting. Isn't it your Majesty who has killed the most nobles in the Northern Territory? Now grown ups The army is approaching, and my Hokuriku is even more in danger. I'm afraid that in the eyes of adults, my Hokuriku is already a piece of fat!" The skinny girl opposite said in a cold voice that was neither humble nor overbearing. ... "

Lytle looked embarrassed. He didn't expect the girl in front of him to say such a thing, and the rest of the words were really hard to say.

The person who really killed most of the lords of the Hokuriku nobles was himself. You must know that in the raid outside Roxton City, the order not to surrender was given by himself. It was Estante who was cunning and hid early. He disappeared and pretended that he was a southern European Barrow. I believed that he would be able to alleviate the psychological resistance of the Hokuriku nobles, and It can also let the Hokuriku families see that even southerners can still be reused by the empire. If the Hokuriku families don't come crying and shouting to be included in the empire, shit, they have already been exposed here. The sun has been out for two days, and my face is almost purple. I asked myself to be responsible for receiving the Hokuriku nobles. Now it seems that this is a trap.

Kill the opponent's most important person, and still have to squeeze out a few tears to show off! How could I have become such a person! "It seems that the adults really think so!"

The girl opposite stood up from her seat, with a strong sarcasm on her lips. "Although our Hokuriku families have become weak, the pride of Hokuriku for more than a hundred years is still there. Don't think that this time it was the Imperial Army that defeated the Albert Army." , after saving the Hokuriku families, the Hokuriku families will be willing to join. If your Excellency thinks so, then you are totally wrong, Mr. Albert. The king wants to kill all the families in our Hokuriku, and the empire is the same, not to mention the humiliation of having the heads of our nobles in Hokuriku kicked like meat balls in the mud by your army outside Roxton City. How dare we forget this? This time the empire has even brazenly tore up the agreement and invaded our Hokuriku land. I believe that all the Obaro kings will give me Hokuriku justice."

"So, the Hokuriku families are not ready to surrender?" Lytle snorted with a gloomy face.

“Of course it’s not completely out of the question!”

A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the girl opposite. She changed the subject and said to herself seemingly casually, "The empire wants me to surrender to Hokuriku. First, it must ensure the safety of my Hokuriku families. Secondly, it must not reduce our Hokuriku." The territories of each family. Thirdly, apart from joining the empire in name, each family in Hokuriku will no longer bear any other obligations. If the empire agrees, each family in Hokuriku can declare that it will join the empire within five days. " "This is impossible. Each Hokuriku family must accept the empire's management unconditionally." Lytle's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and the aura of a warrior on the battlefield came out. He could tell that all Hokuriku families I clearly saw that the empire wanted to quickly stabilize the Hokuriku backyard in a short period of time, and then mobilized troops from the west coast to support the tense situation in the Kalisu area, so I just opened my mouth like a lion!

"Nothing in this world is impossible. Just like when I face the murderer of my relatives, isn't it the same as when I'm licking my smile?" The girl looked outside the military tent indifferently, and the armor on her body made The girl's thin body looks strange, but it is undeniable that this new head of the Geng Di family has more than just his young age. In the main camp of the imperial army, he also dares to ridicule the imperial generals, not only Courage requires more courage

"I believe that at this moment, your Excellency should know better than me what the empire needs most!"

The girl withdrew her gaze and said coldly and deliberately mysteriously, "What the empire needs most right now is not Hokuriku, but time. Although the empire defeated our Hokuriku noble army on the west coast, and then defeated Albert's army, and even now its troops are approaching our Hokuriku." , seems to be invincible and has a brilliant record, but in fact, for the overall situation, it is just insignificant."

The girl's voice paused and continued, "In the southern part of the Order State, half a million Martin Lifan troops are marching north. In the southern part of Calisu, 300,000 Ansers are sharpening their swords. In the old land of the northern part of the Ero Empire, Ero Luonan nobles launched a slogan to regain the royal capital and gathered more than a dozen people. The Vanello army is marching towards the former capital of the King of Eero. It can be said that this time the southern European Barrow continent has collectively declared war on the empire. The empire hastily faced the battle, and its stretched troops can only barely cope with it. ""I believe that your Excellency One hundred thousand imperial troops, for the empire at this moment Said, it is undoubtedly the most important weight on this huge scale of life and death. Can the Hokuriku be included in the empire as soon as possible and boost the morale of the whole army? Can the ten of you, your Excellency, be united as quickly as possible? Thousands of empires' new forces are thrown into the anxious battlefield, which is enough to affect, Who will win in this civil war? The emperor of the empire is a famous military god. It is impossible that he cannot see such a simple point. Even if you are deliberately pretending to be calm now, in fact, I also know that you are already eager to pull out. Cut me with the sword!"

Hearing the girl's words, Lytle's face was suddenly shocked. He had such vicious eyes. He didn't expect that there was such a person in the Hokuriku, and she was still a young girl. The Geng Di family could seize the opportunity and become the leader of the Hokkiu. It seems it’s not all about luck!

"Since you have not ordered me to be beheaded, on behalf of the Hokuriku families, I can give you three days. After three days, if you have not made a decision, I can only express my regrets on behalf of the Hokuriku families. Although I, Hokuriku, are really nothing in the eyes of the empire, I am still determined to hold your lord's 100,000 troops in Hokuriku for a month." The girl smiled slightly and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, I'd like to express my regret. In fact, we can reply now in less than three days." A figure walked into the military tent at this time, and said with a smile on his lips, "Please also ask this young lady from the Geng Di family to tell all the families in Beiliu that we can Give each Hokuriku family three days. If after three days, each Hokuriku family If you still refuse to surrender to the empire, then we can only regret it. We will leave Hokuriku!" Using a cynical tone, he countered what the girl said. Who else could this figure be if it wasn't Estante? Lytle looked at it. Estante is simply confused. Is Estante crazy?

I will voluntarily leave Hokuriku in three days. Is this a threat? Lytle almost fainted from anger. He was really not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but teammates who were like pigs!

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The girl's pretty face was slightly stunned. She obviously didn't expect that the other party could say such a thing. There are indeed many arrogant and arrogant people in the Imperial Army. A group of murderous executioners really thought they had defeated Albert. Can the army become the savior of Hokuriku? Everyone would fall in love with the empire, but the other party, in anger, even clamored to leave Hokuriku? This is not a joke! If you can, leave now. Why wait until three days later? I really think that every house in Hokuriku is a bunch of losers! No, how can I, Hokuriku, let go of the humiliation outside Roston City so easily? As long as the other party has no choice but to agree to Hokuriku's request, even if the other party is the hero of regaining Hokuriku, I am afraid he will be scolded by the emperor. head!

"That is to say, we only have to wait here for three days. After three days, we will leave Hokuriku. The life or death of each Hokuriku family will have nothing to do with us! Even if the beautiful lady tries to keep us, we will resolutely do so. Go ahead!" Estante explained slowly with a sneer on his face, shrugging his shoulders at the girl. That look was more like that of a gangster flirting with beautiful women on the street than an imperial general. Estante was a well-known playboy in the Kingdom of Nord, so it was extremely natural to make such a gesture, but at this moment, When he said this, he completely ignored Lytle's extremely stunned face next to him.

"Can his words really represent the entire empire?" The girl looked at Lytle with complete pity.

"Ahem, his words can represent the entire empire's army!" Although he didn't know what caused Estante to go crazy, Lytle coughed awkwardly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded. Stant's arrangement, since Stant predicted that the remnants of the Hokuriku Army would fight with Albert's army, he naturally also had a good idea of ​​how to deal with it. Each family in Hokuriku had their own plans, but Lytle didn't expect that Estante didn't seem to be joking, but was extremely serious. But in this case, what else could he do besides unconditional support? , Lytle felt that this was his stupidest decision. Either Estante was crazy, or he was crazy!

"Okay, very good. I hope that in three days, you two can still remember today's promise." The flaxen-haired girl's eyes flashed, and she glanced at the faces of Lytle and Estante. Her smile became even more charming, and she turned and left. Chinese army tent

"I will have the body of Grand Duke Gengdi sent over," Lytle said loudly towards the girl's back. It was not until the girl's figure got on the horse and left the imperial barracks that Lytle turned around angrily.

He looked at Estante, who was secretly drinking the wine he had collected in the military tent. He couldn't laugh or cry. Sometimes he really wanted to kick this guy in the face. "Three days for the ladies of the noble houses of the Hokuriku. Are you crazy? Seeing the various houses of the Hokuriku... There are already plans for agreeing to join the empire. Now Okay, after what you said, who would be willing to surrender to the empire? There are less than five days left before the deadline given by His Majesty the Emperor. What do you want us to do now? After such a bloody journey, is it three days later? Do you really want to quit all of them?"

"If the nobles of the Northern Land do not surrender in three days, we will keep our promise and withdraw from the Northern Land!" Estante wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and his slightly ruddy face looked quite serious. He looked at Lighter with red eyes, but the corner of his mouth showed a palpitating coldness. "In fact, even if we don't leave the Northern Land in three days, there will be nothing left in the Northern Land."

"What do you mean?" Lighter asked in surprise.

"Nothing, do you know where I went this morning?" Estante raised his hand and took out a map from his clothes. "This is what I found when I was cleaning up the reserve camp of the Albert Army. It contains a detailed map of the entire Northern Land and the current military defenses of the Northern Land families. I have asked someone to redraw this map. I sent a copy to the Xiting Army, which was attacking the north of Beilu, through the military. I told them that our army would advance northward in three days. Instead of forming a pincer attack on the various families in Beilu, you should know that the Xiting Army is not the regular army of our empire. The main body of the Xiting Army is the Kugit Xiting tribes, and the gains from the battles are entirely dependent on war looting. The reason for the slow progress in the north is entirely because we are not familiar with the terrain of Beilu, and we don’t know enough about the strengths and weaknesses of the various families in Beilu. Now I will tell them the maps and strengths of the various families in Beilu, and agree to advance northward in three days. This means that in three days, the Xiting Army will no longer be able to plunder the places where our army passes to the north. If you were the commander of the Xiting Army, what would you do? "

Laitel's eyes suddenly widened. Looking at Estand's seemingly teasing smile, he suddenly felt a chill rising. What else can he do? Of course, he must plunder the entire Northland within three days! Now the families in the Northland have long been empty. The larger families can barely maintain a thousand-man guard, and the smaller ones have only dozens of people. And how many people did the entire Xiting Army kill into the Northland? Thirty thousand, a full thirty thousand grassland cavalry armed to the teeth. The area of ​​the entire Northland is only three or four hundred miles long and wide. It is only because of the winding mountains that the Northland looks majestic and vast. Thirty thousand cavalry have detailed maps and detailed intelligence. It is not a lie to plunder the entire Northland within three days!

Although Laitel is not very clear about the Xiting Army, he knows one thing. The Central European Barrow Hungarian Kingdom rose up suddenly, but was defeated by the Empire. Among them, 200,000 Hungarians died under the butcher knife of the Xiting Army. Even the fierce Hungarians are like this, so what is the point of going to the wealthy families in the Northland!
