Realm of Power

, Oberto, the ministers, looked at Guitan Lanshi, whose face was flashing with complicated emotions, and Xinyuechuan looked at Tiernarante, who was lowering his head and pretending to be stupid. He looked strange. Regarding the thoughts of His Majesty the King who are worried about gains and losses, Oberto can understand,

Most of Kyoto's troops are now concentrated on the southern wall defense line. In addition to the thousands of Tiernarant's city guards in the entire Kyoto city, there are 2,000 Kingdom Guards guarding the palace. Once the northern wall defense line is opened

Tens of thousands of troops from the Stian family can march straight into it. At that time, His Majesty the King will not necessarily have the final say. The ambitions of the Stian family were clearly revealed during the Wentun Rebellion eighty years ago. At that time, the Stian family, which only had one county at that time, relied on its After that rebellion, he became one of the top lords in the entire kingdom.

After completing the rise of the external duke family, not only did the territory expand twice, but they also obtained the power to garrison the northern border. According to the secret agreement, even the royal family has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Stian family. There are too many things to be confused about in sending out reinforcements so actively this time.

Oberto knew that for King Guitar III, it was now a choice of joy mixed with pain. One was the ferocious and greedy northern wolf, and the other was the falcon whose sharp claws never failed. Neither one was a fuel-efficient lamp. The silence in the palace hall was terrifying. King Guitar III's eyes wavered on the two courtiers, contacting them about the reinforcements from the north. Big or small, who is loyal? It is the most troublesome problem for all kings.

Oberto stepped forward from below and bowed down to King Guitar III to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, now is the time when Kyoto needs support the most. If Your Majesty agrees! I am willing to go and greet you in person. After all, I am the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom. Whether in terms of status or reception level, he should be able to meet the requirements of the Northern Army. As the frontline commander of the Kyoto Defense War, my subordinates also want to know the details of the Northern Army. This will allow my subordinates to be in command. time, better scheduling and coordination! "

Guitar III nodded, which was regarded as a kind of tacit approval. For Oberto, who had just taken over as Minister of Military Affairs, Guitar III was quite relieved. Oberto's family was in the middle among the conservatives. Among the conservatives, they had always been good at balancing various issues. He is famous for his influence, also known as "good old man".

This was also the thinking behind King Guitar III's temporary appointment of Oberto as Minister of Military Affairs. In the current situation where troops are approaching the city, not only are swords and swords rising outside Kyoto, but there are also rapids and undercurrents inside the city. All forces are waiting and watching, and the royal family needs a long-sleeved man who is good at dancing. Characters, before the northern reinforcements arrive, can stabilize the forces of all parties, which in itself is a victory.

Outside the city, the Samor Army Base Camp has a completely different atmosphere compared to the tense and depressing atmosphere in the Kyoto Hall. Since the Central Army Corps captured the stone bridge and broke through the Western Front, it has merged with the Mountain Army Corps on the Western Front at the southern wall of Kyoto. . A total of 90,000 troops set up more than ten large camps along the southern wall. During this period, there were many heavy trebuchets. In order to raise ammunition for the trebuchets, the Samorian army was transporting hundreds of tons of fuel bombs via river transport.

Countless towering heavy trebuchets were vaguely visible in the mist. The ferocious towering supports were like mountains, crushing the defenders on the southern wall of Kyoto until they were breathless. The war had not yet started, but both sides knew that once the war started, The sky would be covered by a torrential rain of fuel bombs from the Samor army, and the death flames would be enough to burn the entire southern wall to charcoal.

"Sir, when will we launch the general attack! The brothers below can't wait for a long time!" Crolissart looked at the south wall in the distance and felt anxious, even though it was full of Kyoto soldiers, even though the wall was much larger than Other castles were thicker, but Croissant knew. In front of the hundreds of thunder gods that have just been transported by the Governor's network, these are just a group of living targets.

The century-old royal capital of Virginia is behind that wall that looks strong but is actually as fragile as a thin piece of paper. If you step over it, this era will be rewritten. Croissant didn't know why the Governor could be so calm. That's Kyoto. If it is yourself. A thunder god blasted past. All bullshit is in ruins.

. "There's no rush." ​​The fat man looked at the long wall in the distance and waved his hand. His deep black eyes were like the sea, and his voice was slow. The establishment of a dynasty is not just a problem that can be solved by rushing in. We need time, the royal family of Virginia This royal capital of Confucian classics has been around for hundreds of years. This is the soul of Wikiya. Just because we didn’t attack doesn’t mean we didn’t take action.”

The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed at the Kyoto soldiers on the long wall in the distance and said, "Have you seen those people? As long as I give the order, they will be reduced to ruins like the long wall, but the entire Kyoto will become ours." Potential enemies, most of them are from Kyoto, their families are there, and their relatives are there. We can kill one, but ten people from Kyoto will become our enemies. Do you want our new dynasty to be built in a land full of hatred? On the soil?"

"Then what should we do? We can't let an army of 100,000 people waste away like this." Three Crolissats looked ugly. The mobilization of troops this time consumed a huge amount of money. This made Crolissart, who made a fortune, feel very distressed. Even though he got a lot of benefits during the embargo, if he continues to spend like this, no matter how rich his family is, he won't be able to survive it!

"Haha, what are you afraid of! I have thought of this problem a long time ago, look what it is." The fat man sneered and pointed in the direction of the military camp behind him. Behind the nine large military camps, there were many small camps densely distributed. They were all camps for merchants accompanying the army. This time, there were nearly 200,000 soldiers accompanying the expedition. Thousands of businessmen.

. merchant? Crolisate was confused by what the fat man said. The fat man smiled and said to Croissant, "Don't underestimate those merchants. They have ensured a continuous supply of materials for this battle. Along the way, None of the transporting carriages belong to our Samor army, which ensures that Samor can gather all its strength to complete the final blow against the Kyoto royal family without using the garrison troops."

. But we also paid! I have already spent nearly 10,000 gold coins. If I spend more, I will go bankrupt! "Clorissat's face turned red, and she felt depressed when she mentioned this Croissant. All the military expenditures for this war were paid for by Crolisate. Every day, hundreds of thousands of gold coins were spent on water. Drifting

"What's your money!" The fat man glared at him fiercely and joked, "As agreed, the three legions will be divided equally! Why, now that I have money, I am bolder! How dare you refuse to admit it! Believe it or not, I am now All your private money will be confiscated!"

Before the embargo, Fatty once approached Crolisate. He gave Crolisate the job of releasing the embargo, which made Crolisate a fortune, earning at least ten thousand gold coins.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Battle of Kyoto started, Fatty sent someone to come to the door and demanded that the part of the Samor Northern Army and the legion headquarters be used as military expenses for this battle in accordance with the original three-point agreement.

At that time, Crolissart, a rough man, also asked the material officer in charge of supplies in the army. After getting the answer that he could make a lot of money, he readily agreed. However, he did not expect that he would be surrounded and refused. In terms of attack, Fatty always fights like a raging fire. This abnormality has exceeded Crorisart's expectations.

. Misunderstand! This is definitely a misunderstanding." Crolisate saw the fat man getting angry and sweating on his head. Only then did he realize that this vicious guy in front of him was famous for his money-seeing eyes. It is not impossible to take away all the military funds that came. I secretly regretted that I forgot the saying "The eyes of the Samor falcon are smaller than the eyes of needles". It seems that no matter where you are, the fat man's nature is Still nothing has changed.

"Urgent report from Kyoto!" Hu Keqili came from behind the team on horseback and handed a secret message that had just been received by the Internet into the hands of Fatty. Before the battle in Kyoto started, Fatty had ordered the assassins to deploy spies in Kyoto. Most of the members of the Dark Assassin are personal servants in noble families. This convenient channel allows Fatty to know a lot of things in advance.

For example, the mysterious weapon Titan in Kyoto arranged stone bridges and the garrison situation in most areas outside Kyoto. This allowed the Samor army to sweep through the suburbs of Kyoto with a devastating attitude, beating the kingdom's 30,000 troops and crying for their fathers and mothers.

Among them, the role of hidden thorns is indispensable for this. Samor paid this year's annual fee of 10,000 in advance, and also paid an additional 10,000 in intelligence incentive funds to reward backstab members who have outstanding performance in intelligence.

The fat man carefully opened the red beeswax at the seal with his fingers, revealing a tiny blue beeswax. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.

This is a secret letter method unique to Dark Thorn. The small blue needle is dyed with a kind of raffia grass juice unique to the southern swamps. Anyone who opens the letter at will will be pricked by the small thorn, which has a hallucinogenic effect. The raffia juice will flow into the wound, causing the person who opened the letter to hallucinate and tear the secret letter into pieces in fear. This secret little method once made the dark thorn a terrifying existence among many people.

The fat man's eyes scrutinized every word in the letter, and he read it several times before putting down the letter in his hand. He stared at the city wall in the distance, as if he wanted to penetrate something, and he turned around after a while. He handed the letter to Croissant, who was looking confused behind him, and said in a cold voice, "You should also take a look, there are always some guests who like to come uninvited!"

"This is it." Crelisat took the letter, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. There were not many words in the letter, but each one of them brought heavy pressure to the person. No wonder even the fat man had to read it twice before confirming it. I read it right

"This was sent from the City Guards House of Tiernarant! We should be lucky. This information was not too late, otherwise.

"The fat man did not continue, but the dangerous meaning in it made Croissant shiver in her heart.
