Realm of Power

In the central region of Hérault, in a military tent in the camp of the central aristocratic faction, the old Marquis of Kentam's face was ashen. He held a report he had just received in his hand and pressed it heavily on the table. He glanced across the front and knelt on the ground. More than a dozen people were so angry that their whole bodies felt a little "Shivering." Didn't you say that all the bridges were washed away by floods? Didn't you say that a plague broke out in the border areas and the Confederate Army of 60,000 was already overwhelmed with self-care? Then the Confederate Alliance mobilized 30,000 troops from Po Valley City two days ago. What happened to Roshni?

"The bridge has indeed been washed away, and there are indeed signs of a plague outbreak at the border, but no one expected that the Alliance would be so bold," a nobleman said cautiously.

These dozen people are the backbone of the southern noble faction, and they are also the nobles who have volunteered to serve as the vanguard of the imperial army going south. Although these nobles cannot be regarded as pure southerners, the entire family has been in the south for many years. , the longest one is even more than sixty years, and these The family themselves were spies who were recruited by the Héro royal family. Over the years, their familiarity with the southern part of Héro is not at all inferior to that of the old-style southern princes who have returned. These nobles volunteered to clear the way for the imperial army and were responsible for the central imperial army. Hu Keqili will naturally not refuse

As the co-owners of the central aristocracy, the Kentam family naturally became the full person in charge. Everything was going smoothly at first. The roads that were washed away by floods due to rainfall in the soil had been repaired to some extent, but suddenly the person in charge of road construction in front of them A dozen nobles came to say that the bridge they had just repaired had been washed away again, and there were many dead animals and people floating in the river. In such hot weather, some of the soldiers responsible for building the road had already shown signs of being infected with the plague.

The Marquis of Kentam immediately sent someone to check it out in person, and the report they received was the same. The Marquis of Kentam, who had no doubts, immediately reported to Hu Keqili, proposing that in order to rebuild the bridge and clear the plague area, it was necessary to re-build the bridge at the original time. There was a delay of three days, but just one day later, the Marquis of Kentam received the information that the Southern Alliance had once again mobilized troops from Po Valley City one day ago.

How could it be such a coincidence!

Marquis Kentam held the information in his hand, looked ferociously, and remained silent for more than ten seconds. Everyone was from the south, and no one knew anyone yet! Since the imperial army pressed down on the central part, the Alliance has not dared to take any action in Po Valley City. The outbreak of the Fort Angry Eyes incident against the Kentam family by the Alliance has made the relationship between the Alliance and the Kentam family even more tense.

Although the Kentam family is not as powerful as the imperial army, they still have tens of thousands of family elites and an army of more than 20,000 noble factions. Under such circumstances, how dare the alliance withdraw 30,000 people from Po Valley City again! No matter how stupid he is, the Marquis of Kentam can feel that there is something wrong inside. To confirm his guess, the Marquis of Kentam went to the front to check in person and immediately saw the problem.

The bridge is indeed broken, but at a glance it can be seen that it was not broken by floods, but more like it was destroyed by man.

As for the plague, the empire has long had strict orders. Once the corpses of people and livestock are found, they are required to be burned immediately and then buried in a pit of at least three meters deep. The imperial army is obviously an expert in how to suppress the plague in areas with too many corpses. , sophisticated methods, and extremely strict inspections , as long as it is found that there is any failure to meet the requirements, all officers from the flag commander level to the squad leader level will be punished. Therefore, since the flood broke out, the inspection team sent by the imperial army has been wandering around, so although the soldiers Some vomiting and diarrhea, but not serious

Moreover, the empire also sent military doctors who specialized in treatment to treat these isolated soldiers. At first, everyone felt uncomfortable with the empire's emphasis on corpse disposal. However, with the heavy rains, hysteria was rare in the camp. situation, everyone began to realize the important role of such strict measures in the empire

"Let Atrigon come to me at once!"

The Marquis of the Kentam family waved his hands with a gloomy face and shouted to the attendant outside the tent,

If there is no problem objectively, then the problem is with people! The Marquis of Kentam knew this very well. Even if these nobles got the benefits of the alliance and united to deceive themselves, they had to be able to get the people they sent to stand on the same line with them. The Marquis of Kentam sent them himself. The person, none other than his eldest son Atrigoron. The problem now is not who deceived him, but once the empire knows the truth, the Kentam family may be left with nothing to eat!

"Father, do you have a problem with me?"

Soon, a young man whose appearance was eighty-nine times similar to the angry Marquis of Kentam walked into the military tent. This man had the Kentam family’s signature flaxen curly hair and was dressed in dark blue. Armor, red cloak dragged to The ground reflected the extraordinary heroic aura. Such a young man now glanced at the situation in the tent in surprise, especially the dozen nobles kneeling on the ground. His pupils couldn't help but tighten. Could it be that he was Found it? It's just a delay of two or three days, so it shouldn't be a big deal! The young man's mouth curled up slightly in disdain.

He is Atrigolon, the eldest son of the Marquis of Kentam. He is twenty-eight years old this year. He has a vigorous and arrogant face and seems to ignore everything.

To the outside world, Atlicon has always been regarded as the heir of the Kentam family and the future head of the Kentam family! Now there is no suspense that the Kentam family will become the new royal family of Eero. As the heir of the Kentam family, Atlicon will naturally be the future emperor of Eero. However, it was already a certainty, but because of the family The rise of the concubine Atrice broke the

As the legitimate son of the family, and also the most noble eldest son, Atlicon never paid attention to this concubine sister. When Marquis Kentam agreed to marry that woman, it was also because the young Kentam needed a fortune. Wealth to support his rise to power, and the woman's father was an official in charge of trade between the south and north of Hérault and could provide help in this regard

Later, as the woman's father was detained by the royal family and lost his status in the family, the woman's treatment in the Kentam family plummeted. Finally, she died in depression three years after giving birth to a daughter. There was no name in the family. No funeral was held for this woman, and the body was just hastily buried in the family cemetery. In a remote corner of the country, such a concubine, who is not even a member of the family, has no qualifications to compare with herself. But just two months ago, everything changed. The concubine actually persuaded the empire to agree to transfer the capital of the Eero Kingdom to Selling it to the Kentam family was something that seemed like a dream, but this concubine actually did it!

Later, this concubine came to the limelight in the negotiations between the Southern Allied Forces and the Empire. She was regarded as the leader of the new generation of the Kentam family. How could this work? What qualifications did a concubine have to represent the Kentam family? Kentam The eldest son of the Mu family and the heir to the Kentam family is himself, not the concubine!

"What promise did the Alliance make to you? You actually instructed others to lie about military information. Do you really think that the Empire would not dare to kill our Kentam family members?"

Marquis Kentam asked the other nobles to go down, and then turned angrily to look at his son. Atlicon was the heir he had painstakingly cultivated, so he knew his son's character very well, but this time it was too much. It's dangerous. Once the empire finds out something, the Kentam family will be in danger! However, the Southern Alliance should have invested heavily in order to make his son tempted!

"My father is wise and knows that as long as we wait and see what happens, the Southern Alliance will take the initiative to find us. Three days ago, the Alliance could not withstand the pressure and secretly sent people to negotiate with me. They were willing to deal with the Fort Angry Eyes incident. Make amends, and..." Atrigolen looked excited and said slowly, "It's not really a big deal, as long as we agree. The Mu family withdrew their troops from Roshni. They Just recognize my Kentam family as the new royal family of Eero. I think this condition is fair. Although that woman relied on the power of the empire to surround Roshni, she used the name of my Kentam family to the outside world. , and now some people regard it as I am willing to Representative of the Tam family, this kind of thing must not continue. Moreover, I did not ask that woman to do anything. I just hope that the woman can retreat and retreat to the family fiefdom obediently under the pressure of the alliance army. That’s it! “

"Then have you ever thought about how you will explain it once the empire investigates this matter!" Marquis Kentam's face was ashen and he snorted with a heavy nose.

"A thorough investigation by the empire? What are you investigating? Broken bridges and sick soldiers. I did not make these up!" Atrigolon was full of confidence and showed no fear at all. "And it was only delayed for three or four days. That’s all, how much of a relationship can there be?”

"But if Atrice doesn't withdraw, what about two or three days? Do you know how many people will die in these two or three days!"

Marquis Kentam's eyes were as red as a wolf at this moment, and he sighed secretly in his heart. From the moment he learned that Atrice had counterattacked the Alliance's 5,000-strong army at Fort Angry Eyes, he knew that the direction of the Kentam family had already changed. It was no longer within my control. Sure enough, in just a few days, shocking news came one after another. Atrice counterattacked and marched north in the name of the Kentam family. She was invincible and unstoppable along the way. The army came to Roshni City, shaking the entire south. She also surrendered to more than a dozen families along the way, as if she had already joined the alliance. As a rival force, Atrice's popularity has already left the other members of the Kentam family far behind.

This incident is not a good thing for the Kentam family! It would be great if Atrice was a man. Marquis Kentam sometimes thought this in his heart. Of course, this is unrealistic. The family's concubine cannot become the heir of the family in any case, let alone be willing to do so. The Tam family is about to become the Eero royal family!
