Realm of Power

At noon, the north gate of the capital of Aero

Outside the hollow iron gate is a road that can allow four carriages to drive at the same time. There are street lights every fifty meters on both sides of the road. The height of the roadside pillars is slightly equal to that of an adult man, making it easier to light up. The black metal clings to the glass and forms a grid, creating classical "works of art" like lanterns. Coldness and warmth dance together, and shadow and light coexist. Although the weather has entered deep winter, due to the abnormal climate changes in the Hérault region, people cannot feel the cold of winter.

"Taota" A team of horses that was not very impressive paused at the north gate of the Royal Capital of Aero. An old man dressed as a mercenary in the team once again glanced at the bottle-shaped spire in the distance of the Royal Palace of Aero, and took a deep breath. He took a breath, with a look of extreme disappointment on his face. It was so bland that no one noticed it. The people around Elero were already accustomed to this, but in fact, it caused a storm on the faces of countless secret observers. ,

King Owit of Rilla left sadly in the capital of Elro. He came and left secretly, just like the dead leaves on the tree trunks on the roadside were blown by the cold wind and the petals spread across the sky. It is natural that you should know I know, but I don’t know because I don’t have the qualification yet.

"What's going on, the Ruila people are leaving early? It can't be a deliberate illusion, right! The Ruila people came from afar with secrets, are they just leaving like this?" The person who said this was sitting on the roadside In the carriage, there was a middle-aged nobleman in his thirties with a straight nose. His gray eyes gave people an indescribable depth, like an unvisited lake in an ancient forest. After confirming again that he had seen it correctly, he couldn't help but Make a low sound

"What should I do if I don't leave? I heard that the Biang people gathered an army of 300,000 people this time, while the Rila people only had less than 150,000 people. The war is imminent. Every extra day of delay may affect the key to victory or defeat. The empire has just He expressed that he felt that the last mediation result was a mistake and that the empire would not mediate again for the time being. With this news, the Biang army would probably launch an attack in order to conquer the sun before the empire changed its mind. Take the fortress back and make everything settled I'm afraid His Majesty Owitt didn't expect that the Empire would not only not help him at this moment, but also stab him in the back. He rushed back in such a hurry, even if he just wanted to not lose. It's too miserable, just save the situation a little bit." Sit down The man opposite said in a deep voice. He was a middle-aged man whose eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through the soul, making people unable to help but be afraid. He had obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and light brown hair peeking out from the brim of his hat. He stared solemnly at the slowly crossing the city. Door of Owitt

"Then do we need to tell the Biang people? They said that Owitt will not be able to leave the capital of Aero." The middle-aged noble asked hesitantly, "What if we tell them that Owitt has left the capital of Aero?" Regarding this matter, the Biang people should agree to stand on our side, Harvey."

"If the Biang people really had the courage to assassinate Owitt, the Lord of Biang would not come here to deliberately gain sympathy. I dare say that even if he stood in front of Owitt at this moment, he would never assassinate Owitt. "The man with the sword" the man in black sitting opposite glanced disdainfully, "unless he is willing to face the endless chaos of Mount Edmund." Facing another strong intervention from the empire, the Biang people fell short. This time, the Biang people had an absolute advantage. I am afraid that the Biang people are more afraid of angering the empire because of the assassination. Otherwise, the empire will send troops to help the Riela people. The Biang people will The advantages will disappear overnight, so the price is too high and not worth it.”

There were still a lot of people on the street at noon, but as the man uttered the name of Mount Edmond, the middle-aged nobleman opposite couldn't help but feel a bit cold, and couldn't help but sigh, "My lord is right." , although the atmosphere in the capital of Eero was tense, with both sides shouting at each other to prevent the other from leaving the capital of Ero, But on the whole, they still maintain restraint. On the one hand, it is because the Imperial Intelligence Department called out names one by one when they entered the capital of Eero. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, they are really seeking death. However, the attack is not on the opposite side, but in anger. The Empire’s Southern Intelligence Department, is Mount Edmund really so scary?”

"Terrible? No, it should be said to be crazy. That's a group of lunatics."

The man sitting opposite who had fought against Mount Edmon many times shook his head, and said with a stern look, "The craziest stage of Mount Edmon was more than 20 years ago. It was because he offended too many forces that he was almost killed." The Luo royal family abandoned it, and Mount Edmund behind it has declined a lot, so you don’t know how terrible Mount Edmund is. You have seen people being tortured and skinned. After cutting off his hands and feet, he turned into charcoal when put on fire, but still had a smile on his face? The name of the King of Assassinations is not because of his unpredictable assassination techniques, but because of his unpredictable assassination techniques. What Temeng Mountain is best at is lurking, and often the people lurking around an assassination target may stay for several years, or even more than ten years, leaving the assassin completely defenseless."

As the head of the Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Harvey, he has joined forces with the Order State to fight against the Elo royal family for many years, and has fought against Mount Edmund dozens of times. The memory of Mount Edmund made the man pause for a moment, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. With a look of painful recollection, he took a deep breath, "Because you can never imagine who is lurking next to you in Edmund Mountain. It may be your confidant who has been through death, or it may be your beautiful lover, or even Maybe we just met on the roadside Once these assassins succeed or fail, they will not choose to escape, but will stay where they are and be captured. These assassins will smile and will not show up even under torture. It seems that death is completely meaningless to them. This is also what makes everyone feel creepy. This is a crazy organization. Even if it is lucky enough to escape the assassination of Mount Edmon, it will still feel terrible for Mount Edmon. deep fear

"Not to mention, the capital of King Eero is the home of Mount Edmund!" The man's voice sank heavily, and a chill filled the air. "During the Ero Empire, the headquarters of Mount Edmund was in the capital of King Eero. How many times? Over the years, his intelligence spies are few and far between in the capital of Aero. The purpose of naming all the forces easily this time is to let all the forces know that whether it is overt or covert, anything that happens here that is related to the assassination will be punished. Mount Edmond regards it as a provocation, Mount Edmond They will inevitably launch brutal revenge on each other. If all forces want to take action, they must choose a target. After leaving the capital of Aero, there is no need for everyone to provoke a mad dog, not to mention, this biting mad dog also hugged a super thick According to the capabilities of the imperial intelligence department and the assassination capabilities of Mount Aitemon, no one can have a good night's sleep. However, what is at least comforting is that the emperor has no interest in such things as assassinations. Instead, he has I feel deeply disgusted, which makes everyone feel relieved a lot."

"It's no wonder that the empire is willing to hand over the capital of Eero to the Kentam family. It turns out that the capital of Eero has long been one of the bases of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department. On the surface, it is the new royal family of Eero, but in the heart, In fact, the controller is Edmon Mountain, so unnoticed..." The middle-aged noble showed an expression of enlightenment, and when he said this, he suddenly covered his mouth with his hands, with a look of shock on his face.

It’s no wonder that he has such thoughts. You must know that although the Royal Capital of Eero has been affected by military disasters and wars several times, it was the center of a once great empire. Its political significance and strategic location are extraordinary. The empire will be such an important city. Giving up and allowing the name of the Eero royal family to continue has shocked the entire Obaro. Most speculations from various countries believe that the empire wants to use this matter to show the fact that the empire has established southern hegemony, but few people will To think that this matter would have such a secret content

"Do you understand?" The man's tone was filled with strong complex emotions. This kind of thing is so speechless. How come you haven't met such a good boss? It's definitely a lie to say that you are not jealous.

"Mount Edmond will never allow anyone to have trouble in its own territory, and with such a generous lord as the Emperor, the stinginess of the previous Eero royal family pales in comparison. From now on, Mount Edmon will definitely follow the Empire even more wholeheartedly. "The man smiled sadly and looked at the city gate where people were coming and going. Mouth, this is the capital of the Eero Kingdom. It was once the center of the Eero Empire. Even if it is dilapidated and the population is reduced by half, it is still a big city with 400,000 people. The emperor of the empire gave Mount Edmon this way. ...It is said that the emperor of the empire is not generally generous to his collaborators. This time it is really an eye-opener.

Think about how Mount Edmund has served the Hérault royal family for decades, how many shady things he has handled for the Hérault royal family, and how many of Mount Edmund's killers have died. All he got was a secret town as a fiefdom. , and compared with the capital of Elero in front of us, the gap is huge, it is simply the difference between a beggar and a prince.

No wonder Mount Edmund wanted to kneel down in front of the Emperor and lick him. If it were him, he would have called him dad. If he hadn't known that Anklo from Mount Edmund had returned to the capital of Aero, why would he not have done so? Thinking of this aspect, letting the Kentam family take over the capital of Elro is inherently unreasonable.

Even if a small southern prince enters the capital of Héro under the sword of the empire, he will drown sooner or later in the deep pool of the capital. After all, the capital of Héro is the center of the great empire. How many forces are intertwined and involved in all aspects? It can be suppressed by the Kentam family. It can only be a joke for the Kentam family, a small southern prince, to want to take over the capital of Ero.

But the Kentam family came in like this, without any wind or waves, as calm as walking into their own home. Many forces that had previously claimed to give this country bumpkin from the south a little color, now suddenly stopped and became as silent as a cicada, able to Those who can do this will definitely not be the rootless Kentam family.

The only one who can do this is Mount Edmund, the home beast of the original Eero Empire. This is the home of Mount Edemon. After the transfer of the empire, the capital of the Eero Kingdom will be Mount Edemon. Decide with words

There is no doubt that the emperor, Mount Edmon and the Kentam family, who are willing to act as puppets, have made a secret agreement. The Kentam family wants the false name of the royal family and the superficial glory, and Mount Edmond gets the capital of Héro. The actual control of the city is considered to be a city that truly belongs to one's own. And if we want to say who can best suppress the careerists under the deep pool of the capital of Ayrault, Mount Edmond is the number one town. Fierce beasts, no one knows these people better than Mount Edmon, and the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the emperor. A new royal family of Eero easily wins over the broken hearts of the Eero region, allowing the people of Eero to live forever. Obediently accepting the rule of the empire, a new royal ceremony in Eero strongly declared the empire's hegemony over southern European Barrow, and made Mount Edmund work for him wholeheartedly from now on.

This deal is unparalleled. Even the man in black is a little confused after thinking about this. The emperor's vision is indeed vicious and he is no longer human, and the bribery method is even more irresistible. But this For the Kingdom of Harvey, which is in urgent need of help, this may not be a bad thing.

At least the relationship between the Kingdom of Harvey and Mount Edmund has eased a lot. Both sides can be regarded as former enemies of the Order State. This time King Harvey came in person because the war between the Kingdom of Harvey and the Kingdom of Ikar has reached its peak. At the critical moment, both sides mobilized more than 250,000 troops, killing half of the Harvey Plateau. With the power they had hidden for many years, the people finally counterattacked the Harvey people. The Harvey people once again lost nearly half of their land. What the Harvey Kingdom lacks most now is soldiers and weapons. This time King Harvey came in person to hope for the empire. Being able to come forward to redeem hundreds of thousands of Harvey slaves from Martin Fang, and hope that the empire can lift the arms embargo,

"Report this situation to Your Majesty. Since it's difficult to get there from the Imperial side, we can try to make a deal with Mount Edmond." The man in black tightened his collar. Rais, the most important minister of the empire, Feishan, who has been in the limelight recently, and Plais, the joint governor of Istan, the father-in-law of the emperor, the empire once The famous lieutenant-general, the imperial governor who holds the empire's 300,000 field troops stationed in Istan, has just single-handedly mediated the dispute between the Kingdom of Rila and the Kingdom of Biang, even though hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were killed, blood flowed into rivers, and heads were beaten. Becoming a dog-head, in front of this important imperial minister who holds military power in the empire, the Biang people who lost the Sun Fortress could only swallow their anger.

In the face of such a powerful figure from the imperial side, the Harvey people are even more afraid to make mistakes. The example of King Biang is right in front of them. The dignified Lord of Biang, the Biang people who have been the overlord of Barro in Central Europe for more than a hundred years, are now Just because the empire supports a little puppet to come to power, the dignified Lord Bion has to come all the way to support the scene. If this important minister of the empire is really angered and the empire turns to support the Ikar people, it will really be a shame. The Harveys were desperate.

"Sir, the woman from the Martin Ligasam family has entered the territory of the capital of Aero." A person who looked like an attendant outside came to the door of the carriage and whispered.
