Realm of Power

The streets of the Royal Capital of Hérault are full of colorful flags. Flowers, ribbons and gorgeous carriages fill the streets of the Royal Capital of Hérault on large and small windows, on the tops of attics, and even on the gates of the former Hérault Palace. For the great nobles, these are not of interest. This kind of performance is quite different. When suitable for the common people of those royal capitals, one year after being plundered by the Order State and taken over by the empire, the former royal capital of the Aero Empire returned to the hands of the Aero people again, even though it was far across the sea. Feishan, Audrey has been longing for the heart of the former Eero Empire for a long time.

The Hérault region and Feishan Land face each other across the sea, and the economic exchanges between the two regions have a history of thousands of years.

When it comes to her familiarity with the Royal Capital of Ello, Audrey showed a level of familiarity that was far beyond that of the black-haired young man. The number of times the black-haired emperor has been to the Royal Capital of Ello can be counted on one hand, and most of them have been there. Instead of entering the royal capital, I chose to stay at the Royal Palace outside the city. The only time I entered the royal capital was when I encountered the attack on the Ayrault branch temple by the Red Dragon Palace in Aden, and then I hurried south.

In the heart of the black-haired young man, the capital of Eero is just a bargaining chip for all forces in Eero. Who cares whether the bargaining chip in his hand is beautiful or not, so this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a formal examination of the stubbornness of Eero. , for Audrey, many places in the capital of Eero are not only majestic, but also magical, and she sighs from time to time,

The black-haired young man stared at the street scene outside the carriage. He didn't know what he was thinking. Outside the capital of Aero, the four of them had already changed the carriage. Plais, as the emperor's special envoy, and there were three more It was naturally impossible for the elite cavalry guards of the Thousand Empires to hide it from the eyes of all parties. Of course, one person rode a carriage directly into the capital of Aero.

The black-haired young man, Pope Potamia, and Audrey rode in another carriage together, followed by thirty imperial guards dressed as guards, and entered the capital of Eero in a leisurely manner. At this moment, the capital of Eero It was when the storm gathered that all forces from the empire-controlled areas sent people to congratulate them. The royal families of Obarro didn't dare not send people. For a while, the most common thing here was the carriage with guards following it. The civilians and merchants of the capital of Erro had already been surprised by this situation, and they were worried about this team in The carriages driving slowly on the road were just arriving as representatives of a certain force.

"Why doesn't anyone pay attention to us?" Audrey is still a little younger. She was a little cautious when she entered the capital of Ero, but now she found that she was completely overly worried.

"There have been a lot of people coming to the capital of Aero recently. After seeing too much, naturally you won't be curious anymore." Pudamia, who was sitting next to her, smiled. She was wearing hunting clothes and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked so heroic that people couldn't bear to look away. At this moment, Potamia didn't have the demeanor of a female pope at all. Her voice paused and continued, "This time the new royal family of Eero The grand ceremony is not big or small. The main reason why the various forces send people here is for the sake of the empire. However, it is said that the predecessor of the new royal family of Hérault is just a regional prince of southern Hérault. The status of a marquis, other In accordance with the principle of reciprocity between all parties and the royal family, the personnel they can send will not be core figures, and most of them will be young and cutting-edge figures."

"So there are too many people like you and me, and after seeing too much, we lose curiosity."

Potamia's voice paused slightly, and she looked at the black-haired emperor opposite who was looking out the window. He hesitated and said, "On the one hand, all parties are trying their best to let the children of these families see the world. On the other hand, they are also trying to educate these young people." The training of a generation, although this grand ceremony It is not big, but it is a real gathering of fish and dragons, and it is at the time when the Empire and the Kingdom of Aden are fighting fiercely. Therefore, for all the forces, this is also the first place to get the results of the battle between the Empire and Aden. The Empire and Aden In this great battle of the kingdom, the empire’s navy and army both advance, forming a pincer attack from the north and south directions of the Gulf of Aden. Although it has not yet reached the level of shaking control of the Gulf of Aden area, it is definitely beyond the level of a general border war. If the Adenians win, the Gulf of Aden can be conquered in one fell swoop. Seat of the Empire, with the North The Falcon Empire is on an equal footing. If the empire wins, there will no longer be any security in the Gulf of Aden. The strategic advantage of the Aden people who have been watching the fire from afar for many years will be broken. At that time, all forces should take advantage of the fire and rob Aden and blackmail Aden. "People's extortion of Aden people"

"Robbery, blackmail... aren't these words a bit inappropriate?" Audrey's pretty face was slightly stunned. Such words came from the mouth of the holy female pope, giving her a feeling of dumbfounding.

"In a battle between great powers, in a land of life and death, no one cares about etiquette and does everything possible. If the battle is defeated, there will be millions of corpses. Just taking advantage of the situation to rob and extort is considered a light thing."

Potamia didn't care at all about this, her bright eyes were full of coldness, she deliberately smiled at Audrey and said, "Just like the Ero Kingdom outside, it is definitely the largest city in South Europe. Next to Jingpo Lake, on the east side of the Lasos Mountains surrounding the city, The Luo River flows from the west of the city to the south, forming an open alluvial plain. This land is fertile, and the Assis wheat produced is famous in the eastern part of Neihui, and is regarded as the best wheat. Another feature is the flow within the city. There is steaming hot spring water with a large amount of clear water. The water for washing, drinking, and playing is warm and pleasant. There are ten gates on all sides, three on the north and south, and two on the east and west. A Wangdu Street divides the city into two halves, with other paths crisscrossing it. There is a stone lighthouse outside the south gate. , built with twelve sections of carved basalt, every evening On the top, someone specially lit the torch on the top of the tower, which shone so high that it was regarded as the symbol of the capital of Eero. But a year ago, that lighthouse was destroyed by my own hands, and the whole city of Eero was destroyed. They were all copied by me. This is the fate of losers."

Audrey's face was full of astonishment, and she realized that the beautiful female pope beside her also killed the Emperor of Eero at Lutia Castle, attempted to destroy the nearly 500,000 troops of the Eero Empire, and eventually destroyed the entire capital of Eero. The Valkyrie who took everything away!

"If I knew that the capital of Eero could still be sold for money, I shouldn't just sell it so cheaply." Putamia narrowed her eyes and looked at the clock tower in the center of the city outside the car, and licked the dry red lips with great temptation. With his lips, he murmured in a low voice, "I bought it with one million empire gold, sold it with three million empire gold, and made an extra profit from the entire southern part of Hero. Sure enough, I am far behind when it comes to profiteers."

"Pfft!" Audrey couldn't bear it any longer, holding back a smile with a hard-working look on her face.

I heard Prais mentioned before that the female pope is essentially a money-loving girl. Audrey still didn't believe it. Over the past two days, Putamia's money-loving nature was fully exposed. After learning that Audrey was the one After taking charge of numerous casinos in the Feishan Coast area of ​​the Empire, he immediately asked to take a stake in Audrey's casino industry, but the black-haired emperor refused without hesitation.

According to the agreement between the empire and the Kentam family, the Kentam family finally redeemed the capital of Eero from the empire for three million imperial gold. This was an exciting move for the entire Eero. The Kentam family relied on With the move to take back the old royal capital, they finally had the capital to aspire to the new royal family of Hérault, and the princes in the southern part of Hérault and the central aristocratic factions also successively announced their support for the Kentam family to become the new royal family of Eero. Finally, a declaration from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially established the Kentam family as the new royal family of Eero, but this new royal family corresponds to It is no longer the Hero Empire that was first in the south, but the Hero Southern Alliance.

The main territory of this Southern States Alliance is in the central and southern parts of Hérault, with the Royal Capital of Hérault as the dividing line. The area north of the royal capital is the area controlled by the empire, and the area south of the royal capital is the Southern States Alliance. It has to be admitted that the empire On the one hand, they still underestimated the position of the capital of Elero in the hearts of the people of Elero. The establishment of the new king of Aero coincided with the promotion of the Kingdom of Aden to the empire. The meaning behind the empire's move is quite puzzling. The Kingdom of Aden immediately lodged a solemn protest against this matter.

"The Kentam family is just a small regional prince in the south of Hero. What qualifications do they have to become the royal family of Hero? This is a provocation to all the royal families on the continent and a humiliation of the empire to Barrow in southern Europe." Aden foreign affairs officials said in various countries There are people gathering in front of the palace. The war situation in Aden is now worrying. If this matter can be expanded and the empire becomes the target of public criticism, it can also reduce some pressure on Aden.

The biggest plan of the people of Aden is naturally to take the big melon of the Eero royal family into their own hands. The sole heir of the Eero royal family is now in Aden. The Aden royal family can invade Egypt at any time in the name of assisting the Eero royal family to restore its kingdom. Luo, with the legitimacy of the Eero royal family in hand, I believe that the southern princes can only bow their heads. Now the empire suddenly introduces the Kentam family to become the new royal family of Eero. This is a direct cut!

In response to the protests from the Aden people, many forces on the mainland have behaved differently. The Kentam family is just an unknown regional prince. Although it has soared this time, the empire is undoubtedly the driving force behind it. Aden even claims that the Kentam family has soared into the sky this time. The family is a puppet supported by the empire and is completely unqualified to become a royal family.

At first, the mainland countries just thought of it as a joke. The Emperor of the Falcon Empire was indeed a barbarian from the northwest coast. Did he really think that he could establish a royal family with just one sentence? Or in Barrow, Northern Europe, where the empire is shrouded, the empire can decide with a single word, but the Eero royal family is one of the Barrow royal families in southern Europe. If the Eero people themselves do not recognize it, and the main bodies of the southern Eero countries do not recognize it, this puppet royal family is a It’s a joke. Otherwise, if you could just use swords to erect a new royal family in the occupied area, then the entire royal family system of Obarro would have been in chaos. Whoever conquers an area can erect a royal family and claim sovereignty over the occupied area. That’s okay!

Let the barbarian Emperor of the Empire make a fuss and see what kind of trouble he can make. The princes in the southern part of Héro were still besieging the capital of Héro some time ago, claiming to be unyielding with the empire. They will never recognize this new royal family. Whether they are puppets or not has nothing to do with it. What matters is that the attitude of the Aden people is meaningless. The monarchs of all countries are sharp-eyed figures. Who cares about these empty words? What they see is that the empire is forcibly erecting a new royal family on the heads of the Ero people, which will inevitably cause Ero huge area The turmoil, or even the greatest possibility, is that the situation that the empire has just stabilized in the Hérault region will collapse because of this incident. When the time comes, the Hérault region becomes a battlefield again, and the emperor will know what a stupid mistake he has made, and a royal family The establishment of the throne is not just a simple move. It is often expansion, forbearance, outbreak, and war. The thorny road from a regional prince to the royal throne is iron and blood. No royal family does not rise in this way.

Everyone was waiting for the empire to be slapped in the face, but the result was that the empire was slapped in the face again. The princes of Aero who thought they would resolutely oppose it all expressed their support for the new royal family. The nobles of central Aero expressed their support for the new royal family, even if they were afraid. It's just a nominal support, and it's a big deal for the characterization of the entire revolution. This is really* *A naked slap in the face. All the forces on the Elo side recognized the puppet royal family introduced by the empire as the orthodox royal family. This made the royal families unable to sit still. The empire's territory encompassed the entire territory of Opalo, and there were countless kingdoms under its command. , the attitude of the empire represents the attitude of Barrow in northern Europe. In the north, this matter cannot be reversed.

Now we can only hope that the empire will establish a new royal family of Eero in southern Europe. This move that touches the bottom line of the royal families in the south will inevitably cause a counterattack by the southern countries. This is a naked display of hegemony by the empire. There is no humiliation to point at the noses of the royal families in the southern part of Hero. What are you so-called noble royal families? Do you see that the empire can establish one if it wants to? Enough to stand up, everyone thought that the southern war was about to break out. The empire was playing with fire. However, the result was that many royal families in the southern European Barrow were silent in the face of the empire. Not only that, several of the most powerful forces in the southern European Barrow, More than 20 forces, large and small, including Martin Fang, Harvey, Ikar, and the Order State, all sent people to the old capital of Eero to attend the royal ceremony.

Some of the fringe forces are just ordinary foreign affairs personnel on the surface, but in fact there are core members of the royal family mixed in the team. The empire's powerful influence in establishing the new royal family of Eero is amazing. After learning the news The faces of the monarchs of all the countries were extremely ugly.

This face is bleeding all over.

Although he angrily criticized the Southern European Barrow countries for being too weak and unable to straighten up after being defeated by the Empire in a few battles, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Southern European Barrow's backbone was indeed broken by the Empire. The Empire The hegemony of Southern Europe Barro has been substantively covered. Instead of just suppressing it two years ago and only in name one year ago, the empire began to launch various efforts to penetrate and influence Southern Europe Barro two years ago. At this moment, it finally came to fruition.
