Realm of Power

In the hot July, even the draft is significantly weak at this time. The green inner lake in the luxurious courtyard only swings occasionally.

In the trees, the sound of cicadas kept ringing

In the corridor, several servants of the Posini Palace dropped their hands and shoulders. They even held their breaths halfway. The air was filled with the anger of the Lord. Four beauties from Posini were kneeling on the ground. In front of him, the thin figure of the Great Oasis King of Posini, Sagutige, stood tall and straight. This 34-year-old Great Oasis King, At the age when he is most full of determination, he wears a gold crown inlaid with rubies on his flaxen hair, wears a smooth and luxurious Central Asian silk jacket, the cuffs and collar of the upper part are made of sparkling gold, and he wears a uniform on the lower body. Wearing a pair of tight black trousers, and a platinum-handled scimitar hanging on his waist, it became even more apparent that Sago Tiger had a cold and arrogant killing intent.

"We have arrested 167 people and are interrogating them one by one. I believe we will be able to find out the source of the rumors soon."

The Sheriff of Posini tremblingly reported the rumors about the big oasis behind Sagutig. In the past few days, a rumor suddenly popped up in the Posini Oasis, that is, the current Maharaja of Posini Sagu Taige murdered his younger brother to become the king. Now the murdered younger brother is coming back to take back his position.

This was originally quite unreliable news. It has been twenty-one years since Sagutig became the King of Bosini, and his position has already been as stable as Mount Tai. He doesn’t care about such groundless news. The most indispensable thing in the desert is all kinds of rare things. Weird rumors, but what shocked Bosini was that this completely unfounded rumor was In two or three days, people in Posini were panicked, because there were rumors that the child of the Sago family who died at the time came back this time with the full support of the Kingdom of Aden, and Aden promised that as long as With the replacement of Lord Posini, the material blockade and trade blockade of Posini Oasis will be lifted.

"Why hasn't anyone from Aden come forward to explain? Didn't I tell you that no matter what they ask for this time, they will agree to it first!"

Sago Tiger turned around with a gloomy face, but the rumor was not terrible. What really frightened him was Aden's attitude towards the rumor. As long as Aden announced that it was a rumor, the floating hearts of the people in the Oasis would immediately It has calmed down, but Aden has not expressed its position at all. For this matter, Sago Tiger has gone to personally meet Samsien, the top person in charge of Aden's oasis, four times in a row, but every time, Sam Sean was unwell and refused to meet.

The attitude of the Aden people is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire and raising prices!

However, in the face of the unrest in the hearts of the people in the Grand Oasis, Sago Tiger had no choice but to endure it first. Anyway, the Grand Oasis Alliance was about to emerge. As long as the materials promised by the empire were delivered to the Grand Oasis, no matter what was promised to the people of Aden, they could deny it. , but the Grand Oasis Alliance's defection to the imperial camp is still top secret. No one in the thirteen major oases has disclosed to the outside world except the monarch. The Aden army is stationed in the grand oases. Once the news is leaked, it will be a bloody storm!

"Lord Samsion said he is not feeling well and cannot attend tonight's banquet."

"Lord Luxil's adjutant said that Lord Luxil had left Posini last night due to urgent matters." Posini Sheriff Frey's face was as pale as paper. The two giants of the Aden people were there. Choosing to be invisible at this moment itself illustrates the problem of this rumor. Maybe behind the scenes, it is the people of Aden who are adding fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty..." At this moment, an officer from Bosini came over in a hurry and whispered a few words into the ear of the ashen-faced Sago Tiger.

There was a hint of joy on Sago Tiger's face, he raised his hand and said to Sheriff Frey, "Fortunately, I planted an eye when the rumor first started, otherwise I would have been pushed out of Posini with the help of you guys." Even if the king doesn’t know, you immediately lead the city guards to Tangsamu Village to the west of the oasis, where the person who started the rumor is!”

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Sheriff Frey nodded, and when he turned around to leave, he stopped for a moment and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you need to bring that person back?"

The rumors outside are very serious. As for the unsolved case at the beginning, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something fishy in it. Although they are regarded as rumors, they believe that the Maharaja was involved in what happened that year and was the person who personally planned it. But it accounted for sixty-seven out of ten, because no matter how you look at it, the biggest beneficiary of that incident was Lord Sakutige.

"Do you still need to ask such a question? Those who wantonly slander the Maharaja must be executed. And Tangsamucun, who harbored the criminals, is naturally an accomplice. Let them all be executed. If I hear that someone has slipped through the net, I will use your Let’s count on the head.” The face of Lord Sagotige was uncertain, and he snorted with a heavy nose.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sheriff Frey's forehead was covered with big beads of sweat. He cursed himself for being so troublesome. If he had known it earlier, he would not have asked. He quickly summoned the Bosini Oasis City Guards to go to Tangsa in the west of the oasis. Mucun,

"The city guards have dispatched so many people. I'm afraid that all the defensive forces of Bosini have been withdrawn. Did they find someone who spread the rumor?" There was a murmur of discussion at the gate of Bosini. Thousands of Bosini city guards drove out of the city with murderous intent and headed west. At the corner of the street, a carriage without any markings was parked quietly. The driver was wearing an ordinary desert robe and was trying hard to control the irritable horse. The curtains of the car were partially opened, revealing a resolute and cold face. It was Ruxil who the adjutant said had left. The intelligence officer of the Kingdom of Aden waited until he saw the city guards drive out of the city gate before throwing a secret letter in his hand into the trash can at his feet. There are two military forces responsible for the security of the Great Oasis of Bosini. One is the garrison of the Kingdom of Aden in the Great Oasis, with a total of 30,000 people, completely led by the head of the military, Samsion, who is stationed around the Great Oasis for a long time and generally does not enter the Great Oasis. The other is the military force controlled by the Grand Lord of Bosini himself, a total of 5,400 city guards, who are mainly responsible for the safety of the Grand Lord and the daily order of the Great Oasis. Samsion has acquiesced to this matter, so it is naturally impossible for a surprise attack to occur in the city of Bosini. Send a large army to suppress it, then the rest are the city guards of Lord Bosini.

When the rumor was just spread, Ruxil had already made preparations. If necessary, he would reveal the rumor that the source of the rumor was in Tangsamu Village to Lord Bosini Sagutaige. In fact, the spy had been discovered by Ruxil on the first day, and he had not dealt with it until he passed the false news to Bosini when it was useful.

Tangsamu Village is more than 30 miles away from Bosini City. It is a semi-desert and semi-arid area. The Bosini City Guards dispatched thousands of people at once. I just saw that except for a camel cavalry squadron, the others were slow-moving infantry, completely relying on two legs to walk. At best, it would take until dusk or even night to reach Tangsamu Village. Distant water cannot quench nearby thirst!

When the city guards returned, everything was settled!

"Boom boom" In the evening, a thunderbolt flashed unexpectedly in the sky of Bosini. Bosini is on the edge of the desert, semi-desert and semi-arid, so there is still rain, but not much. Often the rain disappears before it hits the ground. This time, because the sun has set in the distance and the temperature has dropped, rain suddenly fell from the sky. The rain got heavier and heavier, and all those exposed outside could not open their eyes.

"Who is it? Stop!"

In front of the gate of the Bosini Palace, the guards stopped a carriage. It was a black carriage without any signs. Behind the carriage followed more than 20 guards wearing Aden armor. Seeing that it was the Aden cavalry guards, the captain of the guards guarding the palace gate did not care about the rain. He stood at the gate of the palace, soaking wet, and shouted in the rain, "It's the carriage of that lord. What's the matter with entering the palace so late!" Cavalry is absolutely rare and precious in the Great Oasis. Under normal circumstances, the Great Oasis mainly uses camels. The monarchs of the Great Oasis are not interested in war horses that are not suitable for the desert climate.

So when he saw more than 20 extremely rare cavalry, the captain of the palace did not doubt it, and shouted hoarsely. The strong wind and cold rain poured into his mouth, which was really embarrassing.

After the carriage stopped in front, it just stopped quietly at the door of the palace. It took the driver two full minutes to jump out of the car and open the side door. A thin middle-aged man wrapped in an Aden-style raincoat jumped down, splashing a lot of water. He wore an Aden Kingdom military cap on his head, which was pulled down to his forehead. With the collar of the raincoat standing up, it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

The captain of the palace saw the appearance of the person coming and stood at attention and saluted. "Lord Ruxil!" Everyone knows that the two leaders sent by the Kingdom of Aden to the Great Oasis are Samsion, who has a hundred thousand troops, and Ruxil, who is responsible for the intelligence of the Great Oasis. Ruxil took a light and soft rainproof cloak from the adjutant. His face was as heavy as water, and his bright eyes just looked at the Bosini Palace with a century-old history, as if he was here for the first time. The rain curtain blocked the buildings in the palace, blurry. The rain hit the gray-white flagstones of the palace, making dense and crisp sounds.

A gust of night wind blew, and the rain splashed on the leaves on both sides of the street, making a rustling sound. A leaf fell slowly in front of Ruxil. Although Bosini was far away from the center of the vortex, he could still make himself the focus of the entire Aden. Ruxil clenched his fingers suddenly, and the Bosini Palace was right in front of him!

Ruxil's smile faded, and he screamed, "Do it!"

A sudden change happened! With a swishing sound, more than 20 cavalry guards wearing Aden armor following closely behind the carriage drew out their cavalry swords. The warhorse accelerated and rushed, like a heavy hammer slamming into the palace guards in front. The Aden cavalry on horseback swung their swords and chopped. For a moment, the sword light flashed, blood splashed, and the sharp sound of the blade cutting into the flesh and bones, and exclamations and screams rang out densely.

"The Adenites are attacking the palace!" The captain of the palace realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly. Before he finished speaking, several cavalry swords stabbed into his soft body at the same time, and blood gushed out and choked his throat. His body fell heavily to the ground, and a large pool of blood dyed the gravel road scarlet.

"All forward, seize the gate!" The wolf-like Aden cavalry rushed into the gate of the palace, like a sharp blade, directly defeated the guards near the gate of the palace who were caught off guard. At this time, from the gate of Posini Palace At the street corner ahead, countless people holding torches and wearing light armor of various colors rushed out.

"Kill"

"Go forward, rush in"

A flash of sword light flashed, and countless rapidly moving footsteps kicked up the dust on the ground. When the royal palace guards in front were beaten to pieces by more than twenty cavalry, these people had already rushed to the gate of the royal palace and slashed at the royal palace guards with various weapons in their hands.

"Stop them! Quick, go and notify the city guards."

The palace guards looked pale. Facing the oncoming crowd, they drew the sabers from their waists to fight. However, there were too many enemies. The dozen or so guards looked like a few leaves in the sea among the crowds. He was chopped with knives until his flesh and blood were bloody, and he fell into a pool of blood.

There is a wooden arrow tower at the gate of the king's palace. The archer on it can only draw the arrow string. He didn't even have time to take aim, so he loosened his bow string at the rushing crowd and said, "Whoosh, whoosh!" There were several sharp and rapid wind sounds, and the four attackers fell down. The archers had no time to wind up again. A powerful attacker had already opened the door of the arrow tower, and then threw a dozen torches and two cans of oil in. You could hear from inside the arrow tower, "Pfft, pfft, "Hey... let us out." A series of rapid sounds, firelight and choking black smoke, desperate screams and pleas, like howls of ghosts and wolves, made everyone who heard it feel sore at the root of their teeth, but the attacker seemed to ignore it.

In the guard lounge at the gate of the palace, the guards of the palace who heard the noise outside rushed to the door, but the door was tied tightly with iron bars. The attacker approached the outer wall of the lounge, held the bayonet in his hand flat, and stabbed with all his strength towards the thin wooden board of the lounge. The drawn bayonet was dyed scarlet, and then the attacker struck again in unison. Thorns, sticky blood splashed on the ground.

The attackers had already figured out the layout of the Palace of Posini. Without the city guards, the number of guards in the entire palace would not exceed 200, while the number of troops to attack the main entrance would reach 300. fifty people

At the back entrance of the Posini Palace, Aden soldiers lined up in neat rows, all standing quietly in the water. The powerful Moros short bow was aimed at the palace gate. The rain hit the bowstring of the short bow, splashing a little bit of mist. An Aden officer stood on the side of the team. Under the rain and fog, you could only feel his gloomy gaze, staring coldly at the palace gate in front. Anyone who tried to escape would be shot to death!
