Realm of Power

The sun shone in the hall, and the quarrel suddenly came to an abrupt end. Under everyone's stunned gazes, the strong head of the Molina family opened his eyes angrily, looking at the sword protruding from his chest in disbelief. Blade, he turned around with difficulty, just in time to see the blond head of the Xiali family looking at him with a cold face, his light blue eyes full of madness, and the long sword suddenly came from the back of the head of the Molina family. Pulling out his back, the body of the head of the Molina family fell heavily to the ground.

There was silence in the gathering conference hall, and many people looked pale. The head of a wealthy Hokuriku family was killed by him, and no one could react.

Under the eyes of everyone, the blond head of the Xiali family looked calm, wiped the bloody sword in his hand on the corpse on the ground, and said calmly, "Why surrender? Didn't you agree to resist resolutely until the end?" Really? We even sacrificed our entire family for Hokuriku, but your Monali family can survive. How can you be worthy of us!"

Hearing the words of the blond family head, the faces of the other family heads changed. The sound of neat queues marching outside the hall was heard. A group of Xiali family soldiers entered the conference hall. The originally pale faces of the others turned even paler. , their eyes looking at the blond head were full of anger and hesitation. This was an obvious mutiny. The blond head glanced coldly. Passing in front of everyone, the corner of his mouth burst into laughter. A large group of Xiali family soldiers rushed in and pounced on them like wolves and tigers. Several of them dealt with each other, and they captured the heads of the four or five families who had not resisted much. "Come here, Xiali family, are you crazy!" "What on earth are you trying to do! This is Ellensburg, not the territory of your Xiali family."

"Traitors should be punished. Is there a problem with this? If you surrender to the empire without authorization, you are a traitor to me in Hokuriku!" The blond leader raised his hand with a cold expression, and the soldiers dragged the heads of the family away. , the blond owner turned to the others, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just feel that now The situation in Hokuriku requires some necessary rules. The Imperial Army massacred our relatives, burned our territory, and now they want us to surrender. Those people mentioned in the report who abandoned everyone and surrendered to the Empire are traitors to Hokuriku. I deserve to die! And I believe you all support me, don’t you know? "

The blond master had a smile on his face, but what he said caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees. Others looked at each other. After a few seconds, a figure stood up and saluted respectfully to the blond master. Then he said, "My Xitai family is willing to support the Xiali family, and the traitors from Hokuriku should be put to death!" "My Icaso family is willing to support the Xiali family, and any traitor should die!"

"My Biati family is willing to support the Xiali family, and the traitors should have their heads chopped off." Figures stood up one after another to express their support for the Xiali family. The blond family head's face was filled with pride. As expected, these weaklings were not intimidated. Soon, Almost 80% of the people in the hall expressed their opposition. The support of the Yali family, and the remaining 20% ​​were the lords who originally belonged to the captured family heads. Their faces were pale and at a loss. The blond family head smiled coldly, trash , there is no value in staying. He raised his hand and a group of archers stood up. The bowstring was pulled open, and the cold arrow was pointed forward, "No, no, I am willing to join the Xiali family." "The Xiali family, you will die badly!" Some of these lords begged, some cursed, the bowstrings trembled, Arrows flew randomly, and these lords were hit by arrows. The body trembled suddenly, fell backwards, and hit the wall heavily. Puff puff, red human blood spattered on the wall behind, dyeing the oil paintings hanging above red, and the corpses were covered with arrows. Just like a porcupine, such a bloody scene made many house owners make vomiting sounds.

Looking away from the beautiful rippling lake outside the window, Randolph Andre turned around with a very serious face, looked at the stubborn and silent girl, and said with a wry smile, "You still don't want to say it? The territories of the families in the north are almost completely They were washed with blood, and the losses of each family exceeded more than 3,000 people. Everyone was attacked. Only your Geng Di family was unscathed. You just said that it has nothing to do with you, and you can't explain it."

Geng Di Ruina's pretty face was livid, and her stubborn face was cold as she said, "Lord Randolph, I still say the same thing. Our Geng Di family has not reached any secret agreement with the empire. Why is my Geng Di family the only one in the north that has not been attacked? I don't know why. What's going on, and the Randolph family has maintained a neutral position for hundreds of years, and now they are forcing me to admit that I have colluded with the empire. If this spreads, the good reputation of the Randolph family will be lost."

Randolph Andre glanced over it sharply and grunted, "It is related to the danger of the North Continent. Even if it breaks the century-old neutrality of the Randolph family, it doesn't matter. As for the secret agreement between you and the empire, you have not agreed to it until now." Do you admit it? "After all, we, the Geng Di family, are also members of the Hokuriku, so how could we betray the Hokuriku and collude with the empire! "

Gengdelina's eyes were red, and she knew that it was useless to explain now. All the families in the north were slaughtered by the imperial army. The heads of the families who had lost their clansmen might want to tear themselves apart. Although she was smart, after all, He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the current situation is even more unexpected. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, In just one day, when Albert's army entered the Hokuriku with great momentum, each family unexpectedly showed the same hatred. But this time, in just one day, the alliance of the Hokuriku families, which was like a monolith, fell apart. The situation, the blood coming from the north, can be said to have made everyone's hearts confused.

Randolph Andre rubbed his slightly swollen temples with his fingers and took a deep breath, "Okay, even if you are right, the Geng Di family is a member of the Northern Continent and will not betray the Northern Continent and collude with the empire. Then can you tell me how the imperial army came to Hokuriku?"

Hearing Randolph Andre's words, Gendelina's face suddenly turned pale. The Geng family's army abandoning everyone and fleeing outside the city of Roxton has become a shame that the Geng family can never wash away. Not to mention other people, even the Geng family Di Ruina herself couldn't understand why Grand Duke Geng Di would do such a thing. The reputation of the Geng Di family was completely ruined because of this. "What, can't you go on?"

Randolph Andre's eyes flashed with sharp words, and he said in a condensed voice, "If it weren't for your Geng Di family, how could the imperial army enter the northern continent! Marching north to the mountain pass fortress, Albert's army stormed the pass fortress defended by Grand Duke Geng Di. , just when Albert's army attacked the city wall In a moment, the imperial army suddenly rushed out from the pass fortress like a flood, which not only reversed the entire battle situation, but also caused Prince Albert to choose to commit suicide when the army was defeated. Now you swear to tell us that your Geng Di family and the empire Nothing to do Department, do you really think we are blind? It is already the afternoon, and more news will inevitably come in the evening. With the public being so angry, it is difficult for me to say whether our Randolph family can still keep you. I think you should also know, There have been several families since this morning Ask me to hand you over. If my Randolph family hadn't guaranteed to give them an explanation, and if this wasn't Ellensburg that remained neutral, I'm afraid you, Gengdrina, wouldn't be alive until now." "I have no idea. You can say that, even if you kill me, it will still be the same."

Geng Delina's white jade teeth were tightly biting her red lips, and her fingers were clenched into fists. She had tried her best to go alone to the Imperial military camp where the people she had just killed were filled with heads, and she had to bite the bullet and get Geng back from the Empire. The body of Grand Duke Di finally signed a contract with the empire With such an absolutely advantageous three-day appointment, I originally thought that even if the shame of the Geng Di family could not be completely washed away, it would at least slightly reduce the hatred of the Geng Di family by various families in Beilu. However, this happened, so what should I say now? Well, what else can be said!

"If this is your answer, I can only regret it!" Randolph Andre sighed

An attendant hurriedly walked in and said in front of Randolph Andre, "Sir, something big happened. I just got the news. The head of the Xiali family led an army to surround the conference hall, killed the head of the Monali family, and then removed the body from the room." The window in the hall was thrown down, and now the troops of the Ciari family have surrounded the troops of the Molina family, as well as the Tessi family, and the Biati family's troops are also on the side of the Ciari family. ""What, when is this! What do you do! "

Randolph Andre's eyesight went dark and he almost fainted. How could it happen in the blink of an eye?

Although the Molina family is not very powerful, they still have an army of two thousand people in Ellensburg, and the Ciari family is even more powerful, with an army of six thousand people. The main general of the Ciali family is the Monali family. When the Lord was thrown out of the window... Even Randolph Andre, who had experienced many storms, was in a trance for a while and did not come back to his senses. At this moment, he had vaguely thought of something, and a chill suddenly ran down his back.

Randolph Andre turned to Geng Di Ruina with a complicated expression, waved his hand to her, and said with a wry smile, "I now believe that what Miss Ruina said is true. The Geng Di family is indeed innocent, but even knowing it is useless." It's too late. You can leave before the situation in Ellensburg is completely chaotic. Get up and leave here immediately! ""Sir, what do you mean?" Gendrina looked blank. She didn't know why Randolph Andre suddenly changed his attitude and was even willing to take the risk of leaving Ellensburg. , how is Randolph Andre going to explain to those northern family heads who want to kill him?

Randolph Andre looked up at the sky and groaned in a cold voice, "You have also heard that the families in the north are about to take action. Except for the Geng Di family, almost all the families in the north have been slaughtered. They are dead to the empire. Qiu, there is absolutely no possibility of surrendering to the empire, so for the north, any The families that surrendered to the Empire are all traitors of Hokuriku in their eyes, and they are treacherous villains. Even if they are all killed, they will still deserve to die. They have already sacrificed their entire family for Hokuriku, how can they tolerate others to surrender to the Empire? But! Would other central and southern families think so?

Impossible!

The three-day period has not yet come. Seeing that the situation of the northern families is so tragic, and the offensive of the imperial army is even more unstoppable, who would wait for death stupidly? The northern families want to coerce the entire Hokuriku nobles to fight with the empire to the end! The question is, how could the families in the central and southern parts accept this kind of coercion, and the current situation is quite obvious. Even if the entire Northern Continent is pressed, it will not be able to stop the imperial army from the south. Could it be that the north is dead, and the others Are you going to die too? No, absolutely impossible! It is impossible for other families to sit back and watch the army from the north wipe out the Monali family's army.

There is only one final result, either unite to deal with Beifang, or accompany Beifang and be exterminated by the empire. If it were you, which one would you choose? After listening to Randolph Andre's words, Gendelina's pretty face turned pale. If she were the lord of the central and southern parts, she would definitely not be willing to accompany the north all the way to the end. The lords of the north obviously saw this. At one point, we might as well take a preemptive strike and tie the entire Hokuriku nobles in Ellensburg to their own death chariot!

"Sir, are we just going to watch like this?" Gendelina looked unwilling. "Can't you tell? The Hokuriku is over. Ellensburg will soon become a battlefield, and many people will die. You are useless! , just think of it as leaving the last bit of seed for me, Hokuriku. "Randolph Andre's face was bleak, with fatigue and helplessness on his face, as if he had aged ten years. "It's not that we are too bad, it's really that our opponent is too smart. , has simply calculated the ugliness of people's hearts to the extreme, and deliberately used the most powerful troops to They killed all the people in the north, and then just slightly adjusted the target of the attack, deliberately only accepting the surrender of some families, and easily made all the families in Hokuriku fall into cannibalism. In this way, we can easily kill each other without spending a single soldier. I got the entire Hokuriku strategy, but even if I tell it, I won’t be believed!

Randolph Andre's voice paused, with a hint of mockery in the corner of his mouth, and he murmured in a low voice, "It's only been two days since the three-day appointment! My Hokuriku is finished. Such a huge disparity makes people unable to fight!"

At this moment, there was a lot of noise outside, and there was even the sound of weapons clashing. Through the window of the room, Gentilena could see that the various camps stationed outside Ellensburg were in complete chaos, and soldiers were running back and forth. The war horses neighed, and the heads of the families who left the conference hall immediately ran straight to their military camps. The Hokuriku nobles were indeed finished! Seeing this scene, Geng Di Ruina secretly shook her head. If she wanted to seize the power of the Northern Army, she should hold all the family heads in her hands. She really thought that no one would dare to oppose her!
