Realm of Power

Shatu City, known as the stronghold of Harvey's northern border, was captured in the middle of the night. This bad news quickly spread to Martinliya. Even Martinliya King Red Lixi, who was in a state of panic because of the defeat in the Holy City War, called the deputy commander of the army in charge of intelligence, Gosuade, to ask, "Has the empire moved south so quickly? Why didn't we get any reports? We mobilized 50,000 troops to besiege Shatu City for a full month. This time, Shatai City was captured in just one night. Did the empire mobilize 200,000 troops?" Gosuade is fifty years old this year. He is wearing a tailcoat that is characteristic of Martinliya nobles. Under the hot summer afternoon sun, he took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, Shatu City was captured, but it was not the empire that moved south, but the young prince Sam Tamara of the Sam tribe."

Red Lixi was slightly stunned, then took a deep breath. "Sam Tamara? I can't believe it. letter. Could it be a false alarm? Are you saying that the woman abandoned by the Sam tribe has returned? And she took over the Sand City as soon as she came back! "After confirming the facts, he was also locked in a suffocating silence of surprise.

"Your Majesty, the news just came from the Empire that the Empire has agreed to release all the prisoners of the Holy City War, but we need to pay a war compensation of 25 million imperial gold!" Gosuade looked at his master with a complicated look

"25 million imperial gold, is this the only condition?" Martinliya King Red Lixi's eyes flashed, and his fingers touched his chin. 25 million imperial gold, if it was the former Martinliya Kingdom, I'm afraid it would have to sell everything, but now it's completely different. 25 million imperial gold also depends on the value. Among these released prisoners, there are Spike, the crown prince of the Il tribe, eight Il tribe lords, 39 Il tribe lords, and nearly 50,000 Il tribes. The elite warriors of the Ir tribe, this is almost a collection of all the powerful lords of the Ir tribe. If all of these people are killed by the empire, then the Ir tribe is basically finished.

Since the empire is willing to use money to solve the problem, then it is not a problem. Martinliya now lacks everything except money. Half of the wealth and population of the Harvey Kingdom and two-thirds of the wealth of the Order State. You must know that these two countries are first-class powers in South Europe. Decades of accumulation will fall into Martinliya's pocket, and there will be 30 or 40 million.

Not to mention that the Ir tribe is the most powerful among the three tribes in terms of military strength, and naturally it is also the one that has gained the most war benefits from the Harvey War and the Order State War. In order to be able to take a breath, the Harvey Kingdom paid a truce fee of 15 million, of which the Ir tribe alone took 8 million, and the Sam tribe and the Ansiri family only took 7 million. Later, the invasion of the Order State, the Ir tribe has been in the Order State in the south. The richest religious temples on the side looted a large number of gold and silver ornaments, especially the Holy Temple of the Order State, which had the tradition of using gold to make various sacrificial items. All of them were cheap for the Martinliya people. They were transported to the country in trucks, and it took more than a month to transport them all.

"Yes, there is only this one condition. It seems that the empire does not want others to take advantage of it for nothing."

Cosuade hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile. Martinliya was defeated in the battle for the Holy City. Even small countries like the eight countries in the central region dared to take advantage of the situation. If it were not for the withdrawal of 200,000 Martinliya remnants from the Order State and barely suppressed the situation, it would be unknown how many forces were ready to move. Just look at the miserable situation of the Harvey people now, and you will know what the result will be if they are really targeted by the surrounding areas. Even the Il people, the little brother who used to follow behind, want to bite the Harvey people. The Martinliya Kingdom, which has always been regarded as a scourge by the surrounding areas, is even more unbearable.

Outsiders are watching closely, the situation is getting increasingly tense, and the country is not peaceful either. The Sam tribe is aggressive, especially the return of the 200,000 Martinliya remnants, all thanks to the desperate fight of Siglin, the general of the Sam tribe. The returning lords all have a favor for Siglin, which is enough to make the reputation of the Sam tribe soar to the sky, surpassing the Yil tribe, which has always been the first. Recently, the Sam tribe leader has a son, which is even more amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is shocked. Everyone knows that the Sam tribe leader has no sons, only a daughter, so the Yil tribe did not take the rise of the Sam tribe very seriously at the beginning. Without a successor, the rise of the Sam tribe was short-lived. But now that they have a son, the spirit of the Sam tribe, which was originally a mess, is immediately different. Now there is a Sam Tamara who has jumped out of everyone's expectation. Why do you feel that the luck and popularity of the Martinliya people have gone to the Sam tribe?

"Your Majesty, what should we do about Samtamara? Now that the Empire has really agreed to release the prisoners, are we really going to give up the royal family in advance?"

"Haha, let's give up the royal family. The people who are really worried are not us, but someone else. Our first task now is to bring people back safely from the hands of the empire. As long as people are there, the Il family will There is still a chance for a comeback. As for the Sam clan, with such a willful young highness, it will be difficult for them to continue to be strong! " Red Reich's eyes flashed sharply, and he grinned slightly. He had a rough appearance, but he was actually a very calculating figure. Otherwise, he would not have had a son like Spike. Red Reich showed his incompetence when he was young. He is 195 centimeters tall, weighs 99 kilograms, and has a strong build. Looking at him is like looking up at a giant steel tower. There is not a single piece of loose fat on his huge body. At the age of twenty, he already served as the general of the Yier tribe's own army. He took the lead in several wars of external expansion and was extremely brave.

At that time, the most troublesome enemy of the Kingdom of Martinliya was the Sula people in the west. The Sura people were not a unified nation, but a collective name for many barbarians in the southwest of Martinliya. Red Lixi was in the war against the Sura people. He showed a tough iron-fisted style. He launched fierce attacks wittily and ruthlessly, and used means to divide the Sura people. Finally, he defeated the main force of the Sura people in the deep forest of Sasu in the south. The Sura forces collapsed, and some of them chose to join Martin. The other part of the Sharp Fang Kingdom chose to move south. , with this achievement, Red Lixi stood out from several competitions for the crown prince. When he returned from the south, this young and arrogant and energetic young man was already Martin Liya's hero, and everyone clapped their hands to celebrate and welcomed him along the way. , thirty-four years old, Rhett Lee Xi became the leader of the Yier tribe, and in the following ten years, the Yier tribe has been suppressing the Anxili family and the Sam tribe, even the cunning silver fox of the Anxili family. , and did not dare to make any ambitious moves under the aura of Red Lixi.

"Regarding the fall of Shatai City, the old fox Red Lixi had no idea of ​​​​involving in the fall of Shatai City. It is really more and more incomprehensible."

On the Luokeyamu Plateau, Silver Fox looked solemn, standing alone in front of a sparkling blue mirror-like lake. The clear water and blue sky seemed exceptionally quiet. Even the sound of cicadas in early summer could not be heard. , there is no wind, everything seems to be still. It is already the scenery in April, and the sounds of cicadas come and go.

It was impossible for a Shatai city to shock him. After all, there was Siglin next to Sam Tamara. This former Sam clan single-handedly dragged 200,000 remnant troops back to the country during the Holy Capital War. The decisiveness and courage shown by the commander-in-chief of our army made everyone His glasses were all broken, not to mention that Si Green had been the commander-in-chief of the Sam tribe’s own army for five years. He was the person who knew the Sam tribe lords the most, Archipatu, who worshiped the blood god. It's so common for Si to be caught in a shortcoming and then killed. However, even the secret information held by Silver Fox stated that Archipatus' adjutant was sent from the family's army just three months ago, and Si Green is the commander-in-chief of the family's army, and the two of them have a superior-subordinate relationship. , Archipertus was inexplicably subdued by himself The officer and several officers joined forces to attack and kill. There was no arrangement by Siglin. This coincidence could no longer be regarded as a coincidence. This was murder. From the beginning, Siglin had bitten Archipatus and wanted to use sand to kill him. Taicheng came to establish his prestige for Samtamara's return to the country.

Yinhu has been proficient in this kind of small means of internal and external harmony at the age of ten. It is impossible for Shatai City to suppress Yinhu.

What really moved Silver Fox was another piece of news revealed by Samtamara during the attack on Shatai City. The Blue Chamber of Commerce that had withdrawn from the country was only a peripheral force, and the real core was still in the hands of Samtamara. Mara used the Blue Chamber of Commerce in her hands to secretly get the God of Thunder from the empire! The meaning is completely different

Silver Fox is the oldest among the three and has experienced the most storms. He has made several strategies and almost all changed the national destiny of a country with his own power. Naturally, he will not take Sam Tamara, who has always been willful, in his eyes. However, others don't know the nature of this eldest lady of the Sam tribe, but he knows it very well and has even cooperated with her before. , so the Silver Fox was able to seize the fatal weakness of the Blue Chamber of Commerce and give Samatamara a fatal blow. Unexpectedly, Samatamara still had a hand in hand and actually killed everyone at the end of the term. This had to be done. Silver Fox's brows knit together tightly. Did he underestimate Samtamara, or was there something behind this that he didn't see?

"Madam, Your Highness Yinhu went to Bihu alone, and we waited outside for three hours before we found out."

"What a bizarre argument. As long as you are not blind, you can see that that woman has the ability to compete with my son for the position of heir. Just because of the small city of Shatai, some people began to think that the woman has the ability to compete with my son. We fought, if it were blue before At the time of the Chamber of Commerce, or it is still possible, now that the Blue Chamber of Commerce has separated from that woman, I don’t believe that woman can still have such great power. "A woman pressed the report in her hand on the table with a cold face, her graceful grace spread all over her body A charming style of mature women. The beautiful eyebrows are lightly swept over the bright eyes to look at the makeup on Shengyan's face, making the beautiful contours look more three-dimensional.

The woman stood up, walked a few steps forward, and stretched out her hand with a slight sigh. In front of her, a beautiful woman with her head lowered like a quail was lying on the ground with a pale face and fear. "Charlene, don't you mean that the entire Blue Chamber of Commerce Have they all been withdrawn? What about the cars outside Shatai City? Where did the team come from? I didn’t expect you to be so brave. You dared to join forces with that woman to deceive me. Tell me, what is the purpose of that woman’s bringing you back? Is it to assassinate me or to kill my son? You If you tell me, I can leave your body intact!"

The sunlight outside the window was very good. Strands of light came in through the screen window and fell on the golden teak floor, reflecting a faint halo. Quietly bathing in the warmth of the early summer sun. Outside the window, it was quiet, green and fresh. Only the faint smell of blood floated in the air. The smell of blood came from the beautiful woman, and the red traces dragged from the door to here.

"Madam, please forgive me. I really don't know. The Blue Chamber of Commerce has definitely withdrawn all its operations. I have been responsible for handling all affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in the past two years. There cannot be any omissions. And even if there are omissions, It’s absolutely impossible to miss so many!”

Charlene pulled the woman's skirt and cried desperately. Her voice was completely choked, miserable and weak. Her legs were broken and showed an irregular twist. As the president of the Blue Chamber of Commerce, Charlene She was very sure that the entire Blue Chamber of Commerce had withdrawn from the country. As for the report that a carriage from the Blue Chamber of Commerce appeared in Shatai City, she could not explain what was going on.

"You really disappoint me! Since you want to be a loyal servant, then I will help you. Someone, put this woman in a bag and beat her to death, cut her into sixteen pieces and send them to Shatai City." The woman's expression He shook his head disdainfully and waved his hand towards the door. Immediately, several sturdy Sam guards walked in.

"No, don't, I really don't know. Madam, please spare me," Charlene cried miserably, feeling that everything in front of her was spinning.

In Shatai City, Sam Tamara looked out the window, slowly raised her jade-white right hand, took off a ring on her ring finger and placed it on the table. She took a deep breath and glanced at the empire with complex eyes. Si Green put the incoming secret letter on his desk, "That is to say, everything is arranged, right? Return to the country and go straight to Shatai City, expose Archipatus as a follower of the Blood God, and then get all the lords to side with us, and then explain to these vassals that the Blue Chamber of Commerce is still in my hands, and finally you let your The students’ wanton attack on Archipaltus in the chaos was probably not just for me to return to the country and establish my authority.”

"Your Highness is a little overthinking. Since the one who wants His Highness to truly become the spokesperson and truly let the New Blue Chamber of Commerce's legitimate army enter Martinliya, the first thing to do is naturally to make everyone believe that withdrawing the country's The Blue Chamber of Commerce is just used by His Highness to deceive It's just an illusion to mix up with that woman. There are some people who cannot stay in this world. They know the Blue Chamber of Commerce of His Highness too well. With them here, the Blue Chamber of Commerce is the biggest hidden danger to His Highness. Since we can't take action, then The only thing you can do is borrow someone else’s hand.”

"You mean Charlene and the others..." Samtamara's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she stood in silence, her plump body seemed to be condensed.
