Realm of Power

"Imperial merchants get out of the Holy City!"

"The Empire is not welcome in the Holy Land"

All kinds of whistling sounds stirred up the streets of the Holy Capital. Crowds of people shouting various slogans filled the commercial streets in the center of the Holy Capital with rows of closed doors. The crowds were crowded, and the sound waves rushed towards them in waves, even vibrating. The glass was making a squeaking noise, compared to It is the Holy City that has just regained some vitality. The streets are depressed, the shops are closed, and there are a large number of homeless people who have been idle due to the closure of the Chamber of Commerce. The purple flowers swaying in the spring breeze are still bright, but people have lost the ability to continue to enjoy this rare spring. Feeling. The sudden outbreak of the Azure Chamber of Commerce incident was also called the "Spring Storm" by later generations. However, this storm was not a war, but a floating heart. It was a new understanding that the entire South began to truly face the impact of the Chamber of Commerce.

In front of the long white bridge leading to the outside of the Holy Capital, there are Knights of the Templar Guard wearing cross heraldry armor. The carriages are only allowed to pass after being inspected by the Knights of the Guard as if facing a formidable enemy. , one day ago, the empire announced its withdrawal from the Holy City in order to calm the dissatisfaction with the empire in the Holy City. Subsequently, major chambers of commerce evacuated one after another.

"This is really exciting news, but if the Imperial Chamber of Commerce withdraws, what will we do next?" It's not like no one murmured like this carefully.

"The empire's merchants are all accomplices of Martin Liya's butcher. Even if we all starve to death, we will not eat a grain of their food or buy a single thing from them."

"That's great. This is how we should deal with imperial merchants. If we don't buy their stuff, they won't make a penny. They will start to be afraid of us, and then leave the Order State! We must call on all The people of the Order don’t even have enough money to buy the Empire’s products.” All the people in the Holy City were still angry at the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. No one paid any attention to what the withdrawal of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce meant. Instead, they kept giving out cheers like victory.

The seemingly inexplicably excited faces and the empire's concessions are like a special drug that makes the people of the Holy City boil. This feeling has not been felt for a long time. Ever since the tide of Martin Liya people invaded, the front The Temple Army fell like a mountain, and the outer cloak of southern power that originally belonged to the Order State was finally torn to pieces by the Martin Liga people. , and even for a period of time, everyone thought that the Order State could no longer sustain it. Who knew that Martin's half-million-strong army, which was at its peak, would be defeated in the blink of an eye. Although the Order State suffered heavy losses, it was truly One of the victorious countries, after the people of the Order lost their status as a southern power, the so-called pride of the southern power also grew.

Especially for the core Holy Capital region of the Order State, which has experienced the Papal Rebellion and two Holy Capital Wars, this sense of loss after falling from the status of a great power and the psychological rebound of climbing back to the status of a great power is particularly obvious. Now I see that even the most powerful Northern Empire can only leave the Holy City in despair. It seems that the people of the Holy City have returned to the glory of the great southern country in the past.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce has all withdrawn from the Holy Capital this morning."

Standing in front of the exquisite and gorgeous gilded peach wood window sill in the temple hall, Pope Putamia, wearing a white dress and a platinum tiara, frowned. A Holy City official had just reported to her that the Imperial Chamber of Commerce had collectively evacuated the Holy City. Regarding the matter in the capital, the faces of the officials of the Holy Capital, large and small, were extremely ugly at this moment. The civilians outside did not know what the evacuation of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce meant. As officials of the Holy Capital, they knew very well that once the Imperial merchants left the Holy Capital, it would affect the entire The Holy City will be a disaster

The hall is obviously full of people, but it is silent. You can hear shouts from far away. This is a quite strange scene. Although the March sunshine outside the window is the most charming moment, and in the temple hall, But it was so cold that it made one's bones feel cold. Putamiya withdrew her gaze from outside the window and walked towards the main seat in the hall.

If it only involves the Martin Liya people, forget it. After all, the war is over. More than half of the 500,000 most brave Martin Liya people have been lost. The country is still being torn apart by the eight central countries. When it comes to losses, they are actually no more than those of the Order. Much less, but for more than two days, not even a woman who had lost her cover could be found. How could Putamia not be angry? She was not blind to the turmoil in the Holy City. She was also concerned about the evacuation of the imperial merchants. It’s also very clear what it represents, exactly. Because of this, it is very important whether we can catch the young highness of the Sam tribe. As long as we catch the young highness of the Sam tribe, as long as it is announced to the outside world, not only her reputation in the Holy City will be Taking advantage of this, the Blue Chamber of Commerce incident has skyrocketed. Even if she ascends the throne and is crowned queen, there will be no objection at all. Moreover, according to her secret agreement with the Martin Liya people, as long as she sees the head of His Highness the Sam tribe, the other party will The sky-high price of one million imperial gold will be paid immediately

Therefore, Potamia is not worried about the withdrawal of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. The Imperial Chamber of Commerce only withdrew from the Holy City, not from the Order State. When the storm subsides, it will naturally come back. As long as you have money, you can still buy it from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. There is enough food to solve the predicament of the Holy City, but now the most important key goal is missing, which has already been calculated for a long time. For Putamiya, it was like a slap in the head. Putamiya sat down on his seat, his face as cold as an iceberg on the Harvey Plateau, and his eyes swept over the nervous faces of his subordinates. , but my heart was churning, why could even Martin Liya, who had never done business, create a blue chamber of commerce that laid golden eggs, with millions of imperial gold every quarter?

As an ally of the empire, we enjoy all the business conveniences of the empire, but we are still worried about the expenditure of 500,000 imperial gold every quarter, and we have to fight with Martin because of 1 million imperial gold. The Yaren cooperate secretly, what does this mean? Who would have thought that behind the huge Blue Chamber of Commerce there are people from Martinliya who are considered a commercial desert by the outside world."

"When will Martin Liya people know how to do business? Who dared to believe this kind of thing before? I would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than believe that Martin Liya people will keep their integrity." This sentence is regarded as the business reputation of Martin Liya people. The proverb of the label was shattered by the outbreak of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Facts have proved that the Martin Liya people are not only good at doing business, but also built a scale that is the top chamber of commerce even in the Northern Empire.

You must know that the Blue Chamber of Commerce was rated as an S-level chamber of commerce at the beginning of this year. This is a super-large chamber of commerce that can be ranked among the top ten in the entire empire's business community.

"Are you sure that the Blue Chamber of Commerce created by Martin Liya is on the same level as the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce?"

Although the various countries did not have a clear understanding of the Empire's S-class Chamber of Commerce, the intelligence officer informed that the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, which almost ransacked the entire coastal port of Barrow in Central Europe last year, was an S-class Chamber of Commerce. The monarch of the kingdom immediately followed the report. He jumped up from his seat, although the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce swept the coastal ports of Barrow in Central Europe. It failed in the end, but the arrogance and domineering power of a chamber of commerce fleet that swept across the ports of the Barro countries in Central Europe still made the monarchs of all countries remember the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce in their hearts. In the hearts of the monarchs of all countries, it has become an invisible general. The Sunrise Chamber of Commerce is regarded as a powerful force, and now, another S-level chamber of commerce has emerged!

"Although they are all S-level chambers of commerce, the Blue Chamber of Commerce is far inferior to the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce in terms of strength." The intelligence officer saw his monarch's overreaction and said quickly, dumbfounded. He hesitated not knowing how to use the words, and collected the information in his hand. report, but in my heart I felt like ten thousand wild horses were running past.

Blue Chamber of Commerce, do you want to be so good? You are just a chamber of commerce, but you have done something that even the best intelligence department cannot do. Before the war started, you collected everything needed for the entire battle, including supplies, weapons, and tactics. With technology, route planning, and troop deployment, these These things that used to take a lot of effort to achieve, even goals that took several years for the Kingdom Intelligence Department to accomplish, during which no one knew how many people shed blood and sacrificed, were now easily accomplished by a chamber of commerce in just two years. , and the results were brilliant,

"Tell me, is there anything else you want to say?" The monarchs recovered from the shock, but what they saw in the blink of an eye was the embarrassing face of their own intelligence officer.

"This is some information about the Blue Chamber of Commerce that has been collected so far. Although most of it is rumors, judging from the reaction of the Order State, it should be basically true." The intelligence officer almost forced himself to hand the report to him. Sovereign

"It's still useful after all, otherwise I'm really worried that all the intelligence funds invested by the kingdom have been misappropriated by you." The monarch took the report from the intelligence officer with an unexpected expression. He was surprised that his intelligence department could collect it in such a short period of time. I am very satisfied with the first-hand information from the Blue Chamber of Commerce. This is better than before. The efficiency has been greatly improved. In fact, the monarchs of the various countries do not know that the information collected by the intelligence officers in his hands has actually been spread throughout the country. Yes, this is what the intelligence department can easily collect, but for the translation For the monarch who took a look, it was like a thunderbolt hit his head, and he didn't react for a long time.

What is said above is really crazy! The monarch finally finished reading the report. He pressed the report on the table with one hand. There were veins pulsing in his temples, but his eyes were extremely cold and looked at the intelligence officer with numb scalp. After three or four minutes, the monarch Then he snorted with a solemn expression, "Have all the things mentioned in this report been confirmed?"

"My subordinates think it is extremely credible," the intelligence officer said bravely.

"You are talking about the disastrous defeat of the Order State and the Kingdom of Harvey among the powerful southern countries. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, and more than half of the country fell. If we trace the root cause, it is because of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and the Martin Liya people have lost power in just a few months. He suddenly became the representative of the entire south, and it was also because of this Blue Chamber of Commerce." The monarch was deeply attracted. He took a breath, his eyes lit up, and the weight of his words seemed to make the air pause. Although the southern European Barrow was swept by the empire in the Civil War, several powerful countries suffered the worst losses. The Fezer royal family was destroyed, and Eero The empire suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Order State. In the end, even the emperor was killed in the battle, and the royal capital was captured by the Order State.

But the position of the leader of the powerful countries cannot be occupied by Martin Liya. The first place is naturally the Order State, which defeated its old enemy the Eero Empire, followed by the Kingdom of Harvey and Ikar, whose national strength is still relatively intact. Kingdom, and the Martin Liya people who have been rampaging in the middle of the country for decades are actually only at the bottom of the ranking of powerful countries.

After all, a so-called strong country is not only judged by its ability to fight, but also by its development and military technology. These are Martin Liya's biggest shortcomings. In the battle south of Karisu, Martin Liya's army planned in Silver Fox. Next, they launched a sudden attack on the Karisu people, one hundred thousand against one hundred thousand, but the result was that the Karisu people Although the Soviet army suffered heavy losses, he also suffered 60,000 battle losses. This almost means that Martin Liya's army could not even defeat the Kalisu in infantry combat. The shortcomings of its weak infantry combat ability were exposed in front of the entire Obarro. Wuwei, there are even voices saying that Martin Liya is a powerful country that is only strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

What the Martin Liya people can use is the strength of their cavalry, but the terrain of the Great Plains in the Barro region of southern Europe has been occupied by powerful countries for a long time, and there are many city clusters. Even if the Martin Liya cavalry is strong, it is impossible to defeat the war horses. Rushing up the city wall, with the rise of the Harvey Kingdom in the middle, there is already a lot of room for the Martinliya people to continue to expand. Great compression, but it was the Martins who were least favored. In just half a year, half a million Martins marched westward and almost destroyed the powerful Harvey. Marching north, they fought again in one fell swoop. Who would have thought of such a massive offensive at the outskirts of the holy capital of the Order State, which had succeeded the Erro Empire as the most powerful country in the south?

Not only did the cavalry of the Martin Liya people really break through the urban agglomerations of the two countries, but they were also invincible at the point of their swords. The First Order State in the South was beaten to a pulp by the Martin Liya people. It turned out that the root cause was At a chamber of commerce, the monarch's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and the intelligence officer's body was even stiffer. Martin Liya had a silver fox, which was enough to give people a headache, and now a more powerful one popped up. Could it be that Martin Liya's land Isn't it possible to specialize in this kind of person? But the Ministry of Intelligence had a hard time staring at Martin Li Ya's number one general Yin Hu every day. Almost all his energy was focused on it. Who would have thought that Yin Hu was nothing compared to the mastermind behind the Blue Chamber of Commerce? Can the fox defeat the two great southern powers and almost destroy them in just a few months? Impossible. If the Silver Fox had that kind of fighting power, he would not have been beaten to death by the Emperor in Stam. The Silver Fox is no longer qualified to occupy the position of Martin Riya's number one general.

"At all costs, we must dig out the mysterious figure behind the Blue Chamber of Commerce. No one is exposed, but every step is fatal. This kind of business genius and strategic master is lurking in the dark. Who can help him?" Sleeping peacefully is a huge threat to any force. If this kind of person is not dug out, people will be killed!" The intelligence officers from the southern countries in the Holy Capital almost all received the same order, but faced with the chaotic situation in the Holy Capital! , intelligence personnel from various countries are already undercurrents

As for the Order State, His Highness the Pope's cold gaze made all the officials of the Holy City feel cold on their backs. As an Order State with a convenient coastline, it does not even have a chamber of commerce organization that can take action. What is going on when the Chamber of Commerce of a Martin Liya man is stirred up!

With the sound of wheels and axles, carriages drove silently through the streets. Sometimes the sound of people and the light of fire could be heard outside, and sometimes the surroundings turned into silence. Samtamara sat on the carriage, looking out through the curtain of the carriage, occasionally frowning. The Order Nation, who was confused because of the Blue Chamber of Commerce, didn't know that they were searching for him all over the Holy City. People, in fact, grow up under their noses The Medici family's motorcade, which left the Holy Capital in a swaggering manner, bearing the mark of Barroque Castle in Central Europe, was passing through the white stone bridge of the Holy Capital. The chaos in the Holy Capital not only caused the Imperial Chamber of Commerce to evacuate, but also those who came from all over the world. The nobles of the country are also fleeing the Holy Capital.

Holding the golden family coat of arms of the Medici family that she received as a relic from her mother, Samtamara easily found the person in charge of the Medici family in the Holy City to confirm the authenticity of the coat of arms. Next, Sam Tamara was confirmed to be a descendant of the remaining members of the Medici family. Suddenly, someone claiming to be a descendant of the Medici family came to their door. This kind of thing was a big deal for the Medici, who always resorted to political marriage to expand their influence. It’s become commonplace for everyone

Too many girls from the Medici family married off, and as a small regional power, the Medici family was destined that the children of these women would not be taken seriously in the latter family, so many of their descendants would seek out the Medici. family, requesting to be included in the Medici family, and the Medici family is often extremely tolerant towards these descendants who come to their door. This is one of the reasons why the women of the Medici family are not too resistant to political marriages, because they Know that your descendants can always get help from your family

"Miss Sam, I'm sorry, because the incident happened suddenly, this is the best frame we can find. Although it is not gorgeous, please believe it is definitely strong enough to allow us to reach Cabo City comfortably." Medici The head of the family, Elizabeth, is a graceful-looking middle-aged woman. Although the Medici family It is a famous business family in Barrow, Central Europe, and is the actual leader of Castle Rock. But in the final analysis, it is just a small regional force. It cannot be compared with the nobles of real big countries, and it cannot even be compared with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. For this person Elizabeth was still a little surprised by the descendants of the Medici family who suddenly came to her.

"I am very grateful for the help I can get. I will definitely repay the Medici family for their help."

Sam Tamara smiled slightly. The golden emblem in her hand was the mark of the direct members of the Medici family. As the owner of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, she used her identity as a member of the Chamber of Commerce to study her mother's family. She knew that according to the practice of the Medici family, the material of the emblem itself represented the level of this political marriage. A golden-level marriage often meant that the other party was a monarch of a great country or a powerful minister with great power. Therefore, in the eyes of this kind head of the Medici family, this slightly delicate girl might be a very shocking princess.

While speaking, Sam Tamara seemed to touch a ring in her palm with her fingers naturally. It was an ancient emblem ring with a falcon spreading its wings. The emperor of the empire agreed to meet with her, and the location was in Kalan City!
