Realm of Power

"The beast in the yellow sand area!"

The black-haired emperor looked uneasy at the situation mentioned by Count Tamasu. He had received several reports about the rapid increase of wild beasts in the southern Hero region and began to attack humans in groups. One of them The identity particularly attracted his attention. The source came from a task force sent by the empire to the wilderness area.

Unlike other reports, this team's report clearly mentions the circumstances of the beast attack.

According to the report, this team was ordered to enter the wilderness to search for the missing Pope Putamia of the Order. That night, the team camped in an open land backed by a river. It was getting dark in the haze. In the middle of the night, suddenly, there was a brief scream outside, followed immediately by another one. The scream was so shrill that the team jumped up from their sleep in shock. The call of the vigil sentry came from outside. The sound "attack" team moved quickly. In less than three minutes, there were already dense footsteps and the clear clang of the collision of iron tools. Under the light of the bonfire, everyone rushed to the sentry's position.

Members of the imperial task force armed with light crossbows surrounded a tent near the campfire, looking nervous.

"What's going on?" asked the team leader who came over.

"Sir, there is something wrong with this tent. The sentry has disappeared, but the blood stains are pointing here!" A team member replied. The captain stopped, twitched his nose slightly and frowned, "The smell of blood is very strong. "Not only him, but others also felt it. The closer they got to the tent, the faint smell of blood became stronger and stronger. It turned out to be pungent in the end. The team members exchanged glances, feeling wary. Such a strong smell of blood would require a large amount of blood to flow out. The long and shocking blood stains on the ground made everyone feel cold.

"Come out, you are surrounded!" the squad leader shouted angrily

"Sir, I have already called you, but..."

"Scream again!"

"Yes! The answer to this order was silence, and no one came out of the tent. The team leader took two steps closer, raised a hand, and said in a deep voice, "I am the captain, are you still alive? Anyone who is still alive, please speak out? "One minute passed, two minutes passed, and the tent remained dead silent. The dark door was open, but no sound came out. Everyone's faces became quite ugly. In the silence, everyone raised their heads. crossbow,

"Anyone who is still alive, please speak out?" The team leader stood there with one hand raised, his body as solid as a sculpture. No one spoke, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the tent, and the air was so tense that it seemed like it was frozen. For a long time, no one answered. The team leader sighed silently and suddenly waved his hand. Everyone fired the crossbows in their hands at the same time, and penetrated the canvas of the tent densely. Almost at the same time, sharp screams tore through the night sky, and a black shadow suddenly tore the canvas and rushed out of the tent. As quickly as lightning, it pounced on the nearest team member, throwing him to the ground, followed by a roar. The short, piercing screams gave people a tragic feeling!

The incident happened in a hurry. Everyone was holding light crossbows, but they did not dare to fire because they were concerned about the lives of their companions. The team members with swords stood on the outside and couldn't get through for a while. At this time, only the nearest captain responded. As a battlefield veteran from the Guards, he pulled out the bright sword from his waist almost as fast as lightning, jumped up, and slashed towards the black figure. His movements were quick and neat, and with a soft hiss, the blade cut open **The cracking

"Pay attention!" There was another scream from the ground, and the black shadow jumped away from the downed team member. It was so fast that everyone felt their eyes blurred, and a shocking scene appeared in front of everyone. The member who fell to the ground had his throat bitten out, and red blood was flowing out. He couldn't scream anymore, he could only cover his throat in pain and let out a low scream. With this kind of injury, there is no need to call a military doctor. The face of a team member next to him showed pain: "Brother, let's go!" He pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the injured team member's heart fiercely, solving his problem. of pain.

This was originally a very thrilling scene, but at this time, no one could care about it. Everyone's attention was completely attracted by the "black shadow".

"Monster," someone among the team members exclaimed. You must know that as the task force sent to find Pudamia this time, everyone here is experienced in the battlefield and has excellent tracking skills. It was discovered that Pudamia The report of the attack on Damia's team was submitted to the Southern Intelligence Department, but at this moment, many of them took a breath of air.

Standing in front of everyone was a creature that had never been seen before. In the past, they were not surprised by wild beasts attacking people. After the war, human-eating animals were everywhere, and the emperor would send troops to clean them up. Otherwise, once they gathered to a considerable extent, it would become a disaster attacking the town, but Everyone can be sure that the animal in front of us can no longer be called an animal. The animal in front of us is the same size as a wolf, but it is definitely not a wolf! He has a head like a wolf, but a body like an ape. He walks on all fours, and the sharp claws on the edges of his fingers gleam with cold light. The hairy body and limbs are covered with black hair. The mouth is protruding like a wolf, with sharp teeth protruding from the mouth. Blood is constantly dripping from the mouth, and it is biting something with a gurgling sound. It's creepy.

Surrounded by the cold light of swords, this monster showed no fear at all, but instead had a cruel green light in its eyes. It squatted with its hind legs half-bent, its body tensed, like a taut bow, ready to go, maintaining a posture that could leap up at any time, looking at everyone coldly. For a moment, they were frightened by the bear light radiating from the green eyes, and no one could make a sound.

The team members stood stiffly, holding the weapons in their hands tightly. a long time. Only then did someone moan and exclaim, "What is this... a beast?" No one could answer him, but everyone was finally awakened. Without waiting for the captain's second order, they all fired crossbows at the monster. The monster moved very quickly, darting forward and back in the rain of arrows. It dodged the first round of arrows, and then, it leaped forward and flew towards the human wall surrounding it, as fast as a shadow. There was a burst of exclamation in the crowd. This guy moved too fast. If he got into the crowd, the mouse-throwing weapon would not be able to fire bows and arrows, and he might actually get away.

"Use all your strength against his legs"

In the chaos, the team leader suddenly threw out the imperial sword in his hand and hit the monster that was flying towards him. The monster let out a scream and fell to the ground obliquely. Its waist was stabbed by the sharp imperial sword!

Raindrops of arrows rained down on the monster again. After being injured, the monster lost its terrifying speed of advancing and retreating like lightning. After struggling for two times, it was shot into a hedgehog. Looking at the corpse of the monster covered with arrows, everyone felt as if they were in a dream. No one spoke for a long time, and a strong smell of blood filled the whole place. After counting, it was found that the monster had caused quite a lot of killings. In addition to the two sentries on duty outside who were bitten to death, the five soldiers in the tent had their throats bitten off by it while they were sleeping. This monster seemed to be very powerful. They like to bite people's throats, and together with the team member who died in the line of duty, there are eight people in total.

Eight battle-hardened veterans died in this way at the hands of a beast that couldn't even be named. After seeing the investigation report submitted by the Intelligence Department, the black-haired emperor immediately ordered to stop following Putamia into the wilderness. Now that Count Tamasu mentioned it again, the black-haired emperor immediately remembered this matter.

"Tianmiao seems to know a lot about the wild animals in the Huangsha area."

The black-haired emperor turned his head, and his eyes fell on Count Tamasu's astonished face like two sharp swords. Now he knew why the Tianmiao suddenly showed up. Now that the yellow sand has shown signs of disappearing, around the wilderness area The beasts were attacking people to the point where they were unable to stop them, so the black-haired emperor ordered Stop entering the wilderness, but monitor the surroundings of the wilderness. The situation in the wilderness is shocking. Beasts attack towns in groups, refugees, and even local lords are killed. According to statistics from the intelligence department, the surrounding areas of the wilderness are because of The attacks of wild beasts have left more than 20,000 people without a trace.

The location of Tianmiao is not far from the Desolate Territory, only more than a hundred miles away. The surrounding areas of Desolate Territory have been affected, and Tianmiao is afraid that it will be difficult to calm down. Now that Tianmiao has separated from the Southern Alliance, it could still be summoned before. The princes in the south can clean up the beasts, but they cannot do it now just relying on the power of the Tianmiao.

Count Tamasu put forward the conditions for the alliance's surrender: "The conditions for the surrender of the Southern Alliance are also very clear, that is, the Southern Alliance will only surrender to the Empire and recognize the fact that the Empire has occupied the southern part of Obarro, but will never surrender to the Kentam family."

"Why did you just surrender to the empire?" The black-haired young man narrowed his eyes.

Count Tamasu did not evade, but directly admitted that the empire did not even look down on the fertile hilly areas of central Hérault, and casually left it to the noble factions. As for the barren southern part of Hérault, with the central Hérault region sandwiched in between, the empire Even if it wants to directly govern the southern part, the actual effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, for the southern part of Hero, the empire can only achieve fiefdom management in the end, but if the alliance surrenders to the Kentam family, that is another matter.

As the family that is about to become the new royal family, the Kentam family has taken advantage of the opportunity of the division of the central part to have a firm foothold in the central part of Hérault. According to the Kentam family's understanding of southern Hérault, this time they quietly indulged The main force of the Southern Alliance went south, in order to make the main force of the Southern Alliance fight with the Empire. Regardless of the victory or defeat, the empire will inevitably take fierce revenge. The 100,000-strong army of Imperial Minister Hu Keqili really wants to attack Pogu City. With the main force severely damaged, the Southern Alliance may not be able to hold on for even one day. At that time, the Kentam family as the new royal family can legitimately take over the management of the south!
