Realm of Power

The news that the Empire announced that it was withdrawing from the Holy City made the entire southern European Barrow feel a little stunned. Some people who were ready to take this opportunity to lash out at the Empire as an invading country were suddenly speechless.

"Damn it, why did the empire withdraw from the Holy Capital? If any tyrant was such a weak person, he would have been eaten alive by other monarchs long ago, let alone the current empire!" in a convoy heading towards Kabu In the carriage that was driving in from the other direction, the representative of the Kingdom of Aden, Marquis Cahill, looked at the scene outside the carriage with a gloomy expression. The convoy retreating from the direction of the Holy Capital to the direction of Kabu was like a long queue.

"Lord Cahill, it turns out that the empire's approach is much wiser than ours. They seemed to leave the house quickly when the flames just started, but we were embarrassed when the fire was already burning us. Not only did we lose most of the goods, but we also lost people who escaped," an old man in black dress sitting opposite Cahill said with a solemn expression.

Hearing the words of this old nobleman, Cahill sighed silently. The time was just right for the empire to leave the Holy City, and they left because they really couldn't stay any longer. The vehicles and nobles of the major chambers of commerce in Barrow, South Europe Their vehicles were all mixed together at the moment. The empty cargo carriages and the noble carriages that were originally gilt or silver-rimmed were full of mud and dust. Everyone's faces were full of hesitation and panic, as if they had been transported in a short time. experienced the transition from heaven to hell

In fact, in the past two days, these southern Obaro chambers of commerce and nobles have indeed experienced a nightmare. The Holy City has been completely out of control. Although Pope Potamia has spoken out and asked the people of the Order to exercise restraint, in fact, it can only achieve The effect is minimal, and this female pope seems to have a laissez-faire attitude towards the chaos in the Holy City.

At the beginning, the people of the Holy City only targeted the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. The chambers of commerce and nobles from other forces all took the attitude of watching the sudden outbreak of turmoil.

It can be seen that the powerful merchants of the northern empire who were domineering in the southern European Barrow region were defeated. Representatives of the various southern European Barrow forces realized that this might be a huge conspiracy. Although they did not know who initiated the conspiracy, this time for For the empire that had just achieved a decisive victory in the Holy Capital War, this was definitely a heavy blow. The fluctuations and impact it caused were no less than the failure of a great battle.

"Let everyone pay attention to the trends of the empire at all times. This time, we must seize the actual evidence that the empire mobilizes troops into the Holy Capital to suppress it." The major chambers of commerce secretly communicated. Many southern forces, who regard the empire as their biggest enemy, are almost fully mobilized. Just waiting for the moment when the empire dispatches troops to enter the Holy Capital, no matter whether there is bloodshed or not, During the conflict, the forces of various countries have prepared various rhetoric, and they must pin the empire's actions in the Order Country to invasion. In this case, all the empire's actions in the Order Country will be labeled as invasion, and the South Countries will have enough excuses to resist the penetration of the empire and achieve effects similar to military victory.

The rebellion in the Holy City is definitely a stroke of genius! For South Europe Barrow, who had just suffered a military defeat on all fronts, this was a timely rain. As long as it was used properly, it could block the empire's southward march in the Order State for at least five years. Everyone was gearing up and opening their eyes. At the gate of the Holy Capital, eyes are constantly watching 24 hours a day, waiting for the imperial army to enter the Holy Capital.

But no one expected that in response to the chaos in the Holy City, the empire did not mobilize troops as everyone expected, but immediately evacuated all chamber of commerce materials and personnel. Only when the forces of various countries reacted did they discover this. The flames of turmoil have burned themselves

"Businessmen are all profit-seeking evildoers, and all businessmen deserve to die!"

"The Holy City doesn't need merchants!"

After the people of the Holy City discovered that all the Imperial Chamber of Commerce had evacuated, they quickly set their sights on the chambers and personnel of these southern countries. Originally, the chaos was deliberately caused by some people, but as the number of people increased, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was targeted. But all was left, like a fist punched with all its strength, hitting the air at once, unable to find a place to vent. As the scale expanded, the refugees in the Holy City who had been idle due to the withdrawal of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce also joined in. Come on, most of these refugees are not from the Holy City. The Temple Army wanted to take them away when they went south, but they just left the Holy City and came back. These refugees have no feelings for the Holy City at all, and compared to returning For the middle-class civilians of the Holy City, these people are truly destitute. With the Imperial Chamber of Commerce here, they can make a living. Now that the Imperial Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn, these people are hungry. Their purpose of getting involved in this turmoil is very clear. , that is to eat,

This turmoil has turned into actual vandalism, smashing, and looting. In the past, these refugees did not dare to be too reckless with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was powerful, and many chambers of commerce also had chambers of commerce armed forces. One or two chambers of commerce may not count. What, but the Imperial Chamber of Commerce evacuated the Holy City at the same time. The collective of hundreds of Imperial Chambers of Commerce During the evacuation, all members of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce held a variety of protective weapons, and there were as many as 20,000 mercenaries accompanying them. With such a huge scale, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a private army. Moreover, many of these refugees have connections with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, so naturally they will not actually touch the personnel and carriages of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

But now facing the chambers of commerce of these southern forces, these refugees have no psychological pressure at all. They almost attack the stores of these southern forces in groups. Not only do they loot all the items inside, but they also break in In just one day, almost all the chambers of commerce of various southern powers fell. As many as 400 people were injured and died due to the impact. Even the southern nobles were not spared. Representatives of the Kingdom of Habia because they prevented the refugees from robbing. And was These refugees were hung from the house and burned alive. The special envoy of Lord Sisa was trampled to death in the attack of the refugees. This time, the representatives of the southern forces could not sit still. They collectively ran to Potamia to demand the Holy Spirit. The temple quickly controlled the situation and punished the murderer, but the answer the female pope could give them was that the Holy City was completely out of control. The power of the temple needed to protect the temple. The murderer could only be found after the turmoil subsided. The problem was that the murderer was not the same. Two people, in this chaotic situation, the temple is helpless

The Holy Capital can't stay any longer, and the forces of various countries are also lamenting in their hearts. If they had known this, they should have followed the Imperial Chamber of Commerce earlier. However, at least the place where the Empire moved out is Kabu City, which is not far from the Holy Capital. All the forces The representatives put it together and decided to leave the Holy City collectively for Kabu. However, it is not easy to leave the Holy City now. The streets are full of people with glaring eyes. There are many cases of thugs taking advantage of fire to rob. In order to leave the Holy City, the chambers of commerce of various forces had no choice but to abandon all their goods in the Holy City and leave in empty convoys. But even so, they were still attacked Under the siege of the people of the Holy City, the nobles of various countries threw out all their belongings and took advantage of the chaos to plunder and escape from the Holy City.

The distance from the Holy Capital to Kab City is only more than thirty miles. In more than half a day, the joint convoy of various countries, like a lost dog, saw the outline of Kab City in the afternoon.

"Kabu City is ahead!"

"We're finally out!" Various cheering voices from the motorcade

"Who do you think is responsible for this chaos in the Holy City?" The two people sitting in the carriage looked away from the window and looked at each other. The old man asked Marquis Kalsi

As the special envoy of the Kingdom of Aden in the State of the Order, Marquis Kalsi is also the chief intelligence officer of the Kingdom of Aden in southern Europe. He has smelled some rumors about the sudden outbreak of turmoil, and smiled slightly. "According to Your Excellency, Ability, it is impossible not to know that the chaos in the Holy Capital should be that Martin The masterpiece of the Silver Fox. Although the Silver Fox was severely punished by the Emperor in Stam and almost had all the fox fur stripped off, a fox is a fox. His Highness the Silver Fox was under full control of the enemy. At the same time as the Harvey Kingdom's pincer attack, the most worrying situation should be the empire moving south. If the empire moves south at this time, Going south, the Martinliya people will have to shrink their forces in the Kingdom of Harvey across the board. Then the strategic plan of joining forces with the Ikar people to swallow up the Kingdom of Harvey will come to naught. Therefore, the best way is to prevent the empire from going south for the time being. , there is nothing better than causing some problems in the Holy City, although I still don’t know why it broke out so quickly. It was fierce, but it was indeed enough to make the empire miserable for a while. It was just a pity that the Blue Chamber of Commerce, but the background of the Blue Chamber of Commerce was the Sam tribe, which was in line with the style of the Anxili Silver Fox, exchanging a Chamber of Commerce for a Harvey The kingdom is worth it no matter what, and this chamber of commerce is not owned by the Anxili family! "

"Your Excellency Kalsi believes that the chaos in the Holy City is caused by the Silver Fox. In fact, I thought so too before, but later I realized that I might be wrong." The old man's piercing eyes in his skinny eyes gave people a candlelight feeling. The feeling of fire flickering, He tapped his fingers on the long table of the carriage and grinned, "Silver Fox may be able to use the Blue Chamber of Commerce to stir up chaos in the Holy City, but mainly to target the Empire. But now that the Empire has withdrawn from the Holy City, this There is no chaos But instead of shrinking, it is still expanding rapidly. Isn't it strange to you? Don't forget whose Holy City the Holy City belongs to! Although Her Highness the female Pope claims that she has no control over the situation in the Holy City, don't forget. , this female pope is also known as the Valkyrie Potamia. She fought against the Allied Forces of the Four Nations in the Holy City on her own. Now she holds the 30,000 Temple Army in the Holy City and watches with cold eyes. However, she says that she cannot control a refugee. Turmoil, can you believe this nonsense?”

"Your Excellency, are you saying that the Pope of Potamia is behind this matter? No, isn't this too outrageous? It seems that Lord Rokeya is still concerned about Potamia's killing of Emperor Faruk of your country. I’m so worried about it.”

After hearing the old man's words, Marquis Cahill looked stunned. Others didn't know how powerful the Valkyrie Putamia was. The old man, as the former deputy minister of the Military Affairs Department of the Eero Empire, had originally planned to secretly mobilize border guards from the border to return. , wouldn’t the people who launched a pincer attack on the Temple Army with the Aero King’s Army know?

"Believe it or not, this woman may have an average military ability, but her sense of the best interests in this situation is extremely sensitive." The old man shook his head, his eyes cold and frightening. "Although the chaos in the Holy City was caused by The silver fox has risen, but the real reason why the current situation is out of control is that Pope Potamia wants to fish in troubled waters. If he can Taking this opportunity to isolate the imperial forces from the Holy Capital will play a considerable role in Putamia's actual control over the Order State. Even if it fails, the losses that Putamia will have to bear will not be large. The turbulent refugees dare not attack the heavily guarded temple. As long as Putamia waits and waits, he will be able to obtain the greatest benefits in the end."

Hearing the old man's words, Cahill's face was inexplicably shocked. If other people said this, he would definitely sneer at it, but when the old man said this, Cahill had to think carefully, because this old man's feet Luokeya, before Rokeya, chief of the Aero Empire's military department, is known as the heavyweight brains of the Aero military.

Even if the time was turned back to more than a year ago, the two were enemies, and the old man's head was worth 300,000 imperial gold, because the Eero Empire sent lurking personnel into the Kingdom of Aden in order to seize the Cornonia area. The seven-year-old plan was formulated by this old man, and the executor was the old man's son, because the lurker had a strong influence on Aden. He mastered all kinds of intelligence and even personally led a sneak attack on the Aden army's retreat. The result was that the Kingdom of Aden was beaten and unable to fight back in the early stages of the war. More than 100,000 troops were almost surrounded and annihilated by the Aero Imperial Army. If someone hadn't recognized When the lurker came out, he was almost deceived. As the lurker's identity was exposed, the entire continent was shocked.

Rokeya was also exposed by the Kingdom of Aden because of his latent plan. In order not to give the Kingdom of Aden an excuse, this former deputy minister of military affairs of the Ero Empire, known as an important figure who was the military teacher of Emperor Ero, after the emperor's fall, One month before the war, he had already submitted his resignation to the emperor and returned home. However, with the death of the emperor, the commanding officers of the Royal Army of Héro were collectively killed. The former Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who has returned home, has been appointed by the royal family again, and currently serves as the deputy commander of the coalition forces of the southern princes of Eero. Even the empire has not noticed that this old and strong former Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Eero has Using the personnel of the Erault Chamber of Commerce as a cover, the leader secretly sneaked into the holy capital filled with war clouds, and then approached the former enemy, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Aden, Marquis Kalshi.

A year ago, the two countries launched millions of troops to fight and the blood flowed. A year later, they became a secret alliance against the empire. According to this old man, he came to the Holy Capital to see this battle with his own eyes. , Only in this way can we confirm whether the death of the former emperor was due to Putamia's own ability or whether it was the black hands of the empire behind it! Of course, if Cahill believes this statement, he is a pig.

"If I were the emperor of the empire, I would deploy heavy troops in Kabu City. In this case, even if I did not intervene in the holy capital, it would at least act as a deterrent. This is also where the emperor is smart. The imperial army has not entered the holy capital. "We can't say that the empire is an invasion." As the convoy in front stopped, Next, Rokeya's expression began to become serious. He looked towards the direction of Kabu City ahead. As expected, he saw soldiers and horses standing on the wall like a forest emerging in the afternoon sun. Swords and armors as bright as snow were hunting in the wind. With the imperial eagle flag fluttering, the convoy had to stop. Everything in front was blocked.

Everyone ran to the front to watch. The fierce army of the empire had a murderous aura condensed from thousands of miles and hundreds of battles. Just the formation made people feel a suffocating pressure. The people watching from the convoy were already in a state of excitement. There was a commotion, and many people turned pale. The momentum and power of tens of thousands of troops arrayed in formation cannot be imagined without personal experience.

"Sir, there is news from the front. The emperor is reviewing the army in Kabu City this afternoon." An attendant ran to the carriage from the front with a hesitant look.

"Are you saying that the Emperor of the Empire has come to Kabu? What is he doing here? He is also inspecting the troops. He is going to bloodbath the Holy City."

Marquis Cahill was so shocked that he almost hit his head. You must know that the Kingdom of Aden is still at war with the empire. For the word emperor, the people of Aden obviously have a subconscious phobia, but the old man Luokea sitting opposite him He waved his hands with a solemn expression, "No, the emperor will not bloodbath the Holy City. Such a high-profile review of the troops, even if it is a display of imperial force, is really inappropriate. This is no longer a show of shock, but a naked display of force." Openly hostile"

"Yes, I think so too. What exactly does the emperor want to do? If he wants to bloodbath the Holy City, he won't be so high-profile at all. Isn't this intentional to put the Holy City on guard?" Marquis Cahill said with a look on his face. flushed, deliberately showing excitement and anger, In fact, he was just frightened by the word "emperor". The words he said casually made the old man Rokeya's eyes flash with light. He suddenly stood up from his seat and stared at Cahill. "What did you just say?" , the Holy City will take precautions, right?"

Cahill was shocked by Rokeya's gaze. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He said bravely, "Even a blind person in the Holy City will see such a high-profile review of the troops. After all, it is far away from the Holy City." It's only thirty miles away, and who knows that there is no one from the Holy City among the fleeing team?"

"That's right. It's a clever and irresistible arrangement. He is indeed the first person in the mainland." Luokeya's old face showed a bright look, like an artist seeing a wonderful thing. It’s the same as Hao Dian’s work, the Holy City is over! Already completely empty of supplies, and then falling into extreme tension because the Emperor was reviewing the troops in Kabu City, if he were from the Holy City, the only thing he could do at this moment was to either organize a resistance immediately, or flee from the city. But no matter what happens, without supplies, it is the beginning of self-collapse!
