Realm of Power

In the evening, the Kentam family's army had easily pushed the front line to Xintuo City.

The night wind was full of the sound of flags being rolled up fiercely. Eight thousand Kentam's troops formed a large siege on Xintuo City. The bonfires in front of the camp made the guards of Xintuo City pale. Unexpectedly, Kentam's army When the regular army came back from the north this time, it was like a big change. Not only did the vast majority of the soldiers The leather armor has been replaced by real iron armor, and the weapons and equipment are far from what they used to be. The adventurers of New Camel City used to laugh at the combat effectiveness of the Kentam family soldiers, confident that one can defeat three Kentam family soldiers. This time The battle was also arranged based on this combat ratio, but who knew it would be a disastrous failure?

Logically speaking, the two thousand men sent to defend the downstream ferry could withstand the attack of three to four thousand Kentam troops. But in fact, only fifteen hundred regular Kentuckian troops broke through the downstream defense line like a torrent. , the blood flowed like a river, and less than 300 of the more than 1,500 adventurers who ran back faced the Kentam family's attempt to cross the river. Two thousand adventurers, the battle was relatively normal at the beginning. As news came that the downstream defenses had been defeated, the situation on the frontal battlefield suddenly collapsed. Facing the Kentam family's heavily armored iron barrel army, the adventure of New Camel City The prisoners fled in batches, and the river, which was relied on as the biggest barrier in New Camel City, fell into the hands of the Kentam family in just one hour.

Regarding the loss of the river, there was also criticism in Xintuo City, and the leaders of other adventurers whispered to each other in low voices. Someone was looking left and right, and the conference hall was bleak. Asna Burke's face was solemn, and his brows were furrowed. Although no one said it explicitly, the situation was already very clear, that is, New Camel City should not be able to hold on. A man sat there with his head bowed. The handsome young man raised his head at this moment, "Now the people in the city are in panic. If we can't make a difference, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop the next attack."

"How to save it?" Everyone else gasped.

The young man gritted his teeth and snorted with cold eyes, "Actually, we may not be able to defeat the Kentam family. It's just that our hearts are not united. There is a whole street of weapon shops in Xintuo City, but they are only willing to take out some rags to fool us, and those with money The big businessmen in the city have a mentality of watching the fire from the other side. There are more than 20,000 adventurers in the city, but less than 3,000 are really willing to contribute to the new camel city. If we can arm all the more than 20,000 adventurers, just a mere What does eight thousand Kentam troops mean?"

"Yes, if we also had sophisticated weapons, we would never fight like this."

After hearing the young man's words, everyone in the hall was indignant. Our people cannot hold on to that point. As long as the casualties reach one-sixth, morale will drop to a dangerous level. If we continue to fight reluctantly, there is a danger of collapse. The Kentam family It is so strong not only because of its good weapons and large number of people. New Camel City is the base camp of adventurers from South Héro, and there are many adventurer unions, but it does not involve their own interests. Well, most of the adventurers are just watching. If there is a way to get all the adventurers to fight for the New Camel City, the Kentam family's army in front of them will not be a problem at all. But how to get the other adventurers to move? That's the biggest problem. "How about saying that after the Kentam family breaks through Xintuo City, they will launch a revenge massacre on the entire Xintuo City?" The young man's eyes flashed, and he hesitated and said in a deep voice.

"What a good idea, just spread the news like this!" There were boos in the hall. Everyone said that this method was feasible, and most of them didn't notice. The corners of the young man's mouth turned up slightly. When the meeting was dismissed, in a In a darker position, a middle-aged man stopped the young man. The residual light of the torch shone on half of the middle-aged man's silhouette. It was Xintu The city lord Asna Burke said with hesitation, "Is this possible? The Kentam family has been running New Camel City for decades, and it is intricately connected. I don't know how many people have been accommodated. This time, the Kentam family's regular army can The invincible attack to the city in one breath is enough to show that the details of Xintuo City have long been exposed. Now that news has been released that the Kentam family is going to massacre the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to let them go. People believe it. ""The city lord also knows that the Kentam family has placed many eyes in the city, so the news will be spread outside the city tonight. In order to break this rumor, the city lord thinks what will happen to the eight thousand troops of the Kentam family. Do? "The young man smiled and shrugged. He had flaxen hair and a scar like an earthworm at the corner of his eyebrows. There is an air of rebelliousness added to his handsome face, and facing a figure like the new camel city lord Asna Burke, the young man's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is even more stable than Asna Burke. On the contrary, Asnaberk, who was born an adventurer and was famous for his daring throughout the southern part of Hérault, had a feeling of being suppressed and holding his breath in front of the young man.

"If it were me, I would stop attacking temporarily."

Asna Burke blinked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. How could it be like this? He had to be convinced by the young man's idea. He was indeed a war-experienced imperial man who could survive in such a chaotic situation. , just releasing a piece of false news forced the Kentam family, which had eight thousand troops outside the city, to suspend their attack and temporarily shelve the huge advantage of the two-line encirclement of the army, because it was about to become a The Kentam family, which is the new royal family of Airo, really cannot bear the reputation of massacre in the city, and the new camel city is not only the property of the Kentam family, but also the properties of many other families. Over the years, the Marquis of Kentam Being able to acquiesce to Asna Burke's determination to build New Camel City into a trading city, in addition to its own need to expand financial resources, is also an important way to extend the Kentam family's external diplomacy.

"This news will only last two or three days at most. I'm afraid it can't be delayed for too long. What if Miss Atrice hasn't returned by then?" Asbock asked cautiously, looking at the young man. On the surface, he launched the New Camel City Rebellion out of dissatisfaction with the family's decision to expel the adventurers, but in fact his real intention was to buy time for Atrice.

The changes in the Kentam family came too suddenly. Asgolen, the eldest son of Marquis Kentam, came to pick up peaches this time. As a son of destiny, he led an army of eight thousand families back to the south and defeated Art in the shortest possible time. All the influence that Liz could have caused has been wiped out. If there is no more voice within the family, Asligolon's next step may be to announce that Atrice will be expelled from the Kentam family. This time, Asnar Burke also risked everything In order to express his firm support for Atrice, he did not hesitate to stake the entire New Camel City. However, looking at the overall situation, Atrice really does not have an advantage in this succession war, especially with Compared to the previous situation where Atrice returned to the family alone, Atlicon did nothing and had an absolutely powerful military force with eight thousand family elites. Who is the heir in the eyes of Marquis Kentam? clear at a glance

The public opinion in the family is swayed towards Atlicon

At this time, a mysterious figure also arrived in New Camel City. The other person only brought a letter as proof of identity. That person was the young man in front of him, Imperial Guards Squadron Leader Jiyanko. The letter that served as proof of identity was exactly It was the letter of surrender written by Asnaberk to Atrice. It was indeed his own handwriting. Astanak could confirm that after knowing the identity of the other party as an Imperial Guards officer, Astanak His breathing also began to quicken

"The empire has decided to send troops?" Astanak couldn't help but asked in a solemn voice.

"Because this time involves the internal affairs of the Kentam family, the empire will not send troops to intervene to prevent the truth from being revealed." Jiyanke shook his head. He was ordered to come. In addition to bringing the letter, he also brought An order: "On the contrary, the opportunity that Mr. Astanak has been looking forward to is right in front of you. Please don't miss it."

"Opportunity?" When Astanak heard that the empire would not send troops, his eyes clearly showed disappointment. When he heard the word opportunity, he mentioned it again, "Your Excellency, you mean..."

"Don't you think that this is the moment for you to show your loyalty to Miss Atrice? When the entire family is betrayed, if you stand up to support Miss Atrice, then wait until A The moment Miss Tris becomes the heir to the Kentam family, your Excellency will surely soar into the sky."

Even the bold Astanak was shocked by the other party's words, and then Xintuocheng announced its separation from the Kentam family.

The New Camel City rebellion in Astanapok can be said to have completely disrupted the family reorganization that was about to be completed by Atlicolon. The army that originally guarded the family base and was responsible for cleaning up the influence of Atrice had to move to New Camel. Camel City, otherwise when the news of the new Camel City rebellion spreads throughout the south, Atlicolon will be the laughing stock of the entire southern Hero.

Atlicon had already compiled a series of evidence, and even arranged for someone to stand up deliberately, accusing the previous rebellion at Fort Angry Eyes of being forced, and the person who forced them was Atrice, who had no management experience at all. Faced with a large number of refugees in the family, Atrice actually asked the vassals to expel the refugees. The Yoshizawa family of Raging Eye Castle was forced to rebel because they refused to obey the order.

This is a deliberate frame-up. All the Gize family members of Raging Eye Castle have been executed long ago. Unless the dead can speak, Atrice will not be able to argue. What Atlicon wants is this effect. He wants to deal a heavy blow to her. Tris's excellent reputation within the family completely eliminated the possibility of Atris becoming the heir to the family. "How could a rebellious person who even forced his own vassals be qualified to become the head of the family?" For anyone, The heirs have the most vicious comments,

At this time, Xintuocheng announced in a high-profile manner that it refused to obey his orders and declared rebellion at the same time. This could be said to be a loud slap in the face to Atlicon. Atlicon had also used the vassal rebellion to slander him. Atrice, she became that person in the blink of an eye. In order to eliminate the influence as soon as possible, she must have come out in full force!

The flaxen-colored young man looked at the dense bonfires outside the city, his expression cold and the corners of his mouth twitching. He knew that in the dark night that he could not see the end of, the imperial cavalry in black armor came and went outside the castle where the Kentucky headquarters was located. Mercifully, he picked up the wet fresh soil on the ground and threw it into the air. In the distance, more imperial cavalry were like It spreads towards this side like a huge open fan, like dewdrops spreading on the grassland in the morning. Slowly moving forward along the scattered woodlands, hills, and river valleys, a group of more than a hundred lightly-armed riders The archer was slightly behind, holding quivers on both sides of his waist. He was pulling out the wolf-toothed barb arrows one by one from the body of the sentry of the Kentam family.

The empire announced that it would not participate in the Kentam family's civil war, but the name of these black-armored cavalry was the Confederacy. Atlicon, who was still wasting time in New Camel City, would not have thought that just one day ago, the Confederacy had secretly After joining the empire and collectively supporting Atrice to become the heir to the Kentam family, the 60,000-strong Confederate army marched towards the Kentam family’s headquarters like a tide.

Atligolun forgot that he was able to come back and pick peaches because the 8,000 troops he brought controlled the Kentum family's base camp in one fell swoop. Now that the 8,000 troops are out, the Kentum family's base camp is easy to capture. The 8,000 troops that left the Kentum base camp could be the Kentum army or the rebels!
