Realm of Power

Ankoluo took the report from the maid's hand, scanned the contents with his slender eyes, and took a deep breath, "That's true. Just an hour ago, King Ikar's confidant Bololin went to see your father. , and then Atlicon went to the city In the foreign military camp, I have to say that the Ikar people are quite experienced in their skills." After the failure against the Harvey people, they immediately seized this opportunity and deliberately showed all parties that the Kentam family of the new royal family of Eero Just a lackey of Ikar"

"What does this mean?"

Atrice's pretty face was blank. Outside the window, drizzle fell all over the sky. Starting from the afternoon, the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, blocking the sun and the sky. At dusk, light raindrops finally fell. The entire King of Aero was shrouded in rain powder, like smoke and mist. Atrice thought that Atlicon's move of troops into the city was indeed too reckless, but it probably wasn't to that extent.

"Haha, the overt and covert struggles between the royal families are far more complicated than what you see."

Ankolo put down the report in his hand, raised his head and looked at Atrice, who had a solemn expression. The corners of his seductive mouth turned up slightly and he said, "The Ikar royal family has a history of more than three hundred years on the Harvey Plateau. The royal family has a long history. Such an established royal family can use far more methods than you think. The Ikars attacked the Harveys. Green Mountain is already well known throughout the city. With such a blatant attack, all parties are dissatisfied with the Ikar people. This seems to be a small wave of power struggle, but in fact it is no small matter in the eyes of all parties. In other people's celebrations , in other people's royal capital, the Ikar people dare to do this, how strong this is, and the one who shocked all parties the most was the Kentam family "

"Until now, the Kentam family has not condemned the actions of the Ikar people. The Kentam family has allowed the Ikar people to do whatever they want. All forces will inevitably characterize the Kentam family as the Yikar people as soon as possible. A vassal of the Karl people and a slave of the Ikar people are not qualified to be called a royal family. To continue to stay in the capital of Ero and wait to establish friendship with the Kentam family is completely a sign of self-degradation." Ankolo turned his head and glanced at Atrice, then turned his gaze again to the junction of the city's outer wall and the mountains in the distance, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "And the Kentam family can let the Ikar people control the power of the Harvey people." The extraction has touched the bottom line of all parties. Starting from last night, there is no longer any safety in King Eero. The status of the Kentam family has plummeted in the eyes of all parties."

Ankoluo withdrew his gaze from the window and turned around, "Fortunately, your unintentional decision gave the Kentam family a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, all forces from all sides would have left the capital of Aero this morning. There is no point in buying it anymore. They can't afford to lose face by participating in the celebration of the vassal of the Ikar people.

"I can only say that the Kentam family is indeed lucky." Ankolo made a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth, with a somewhat regretful expression on his face. "The luck is indeed good, and it allowed you to save the situation unintentionally. Otherwise, The embarrassing position of the Kentam family is already a foregone conclusion, so I don’t have to have such a headache." Ankolo rubbed his temples.

"Let the Kentam family be recognized by all forces as a second-class force vassal of Ikar. In this way, the Kentam family will no longer have the opportunity to enter the real Obaro royal family, and naturally there will be no real power. "I am willing to rely on you." Ankolo paused, sighed, and said with a bit of self-mockery, "You know, this was originally the result of what I, Mount Edmond, had been planning, but now it has really been in vain."

Atrice felt dizzy and nervous for a while, and felt that the air in the room seemed to be freezing cold. Although the charm of the first-generation Erro concubine can kill both men and women, what really shocked Atrice was the calculations of all the forces. In front of us, the Kentam family is so weak. If the Kentam family is considered not to be a real royal family by all parties, then Some small forces that were originally clinging to the Kentam family will immediately switch to other forces, because the Kentam family, which is only a second-class vassal, can bring them great benefits, and those who may receive these benefits , that is, Mount Edmon. All Ankolo needs to do is wait quietly to get the maximum benefit from this mess.

What a cruel woman!

However, Atrice couldn't hate it, because the capital of the King of Eero belonged to Mount Edmund, and the Kentam family could only be regarded as outsiders. What qualifications did she have for what Mount Edmond had done for her own benefit? Come and blame the other person!

Gu Panshengyan's beautiful eyes looked deeply into Atrice's eyes. Ankeluo seemed to have calmed down. After a while, he lowered his jade hand to press his lips. He seemed to have made a huge determination in his heart and said calmly, "This is Let’s end the matter here. I will not target the Kentam family again in the future. You can also rest assured that those people will be your subordinates from now on.”

"I'm sorry, I'm really worried about the Kentam family taking over the capital of Elro..." Atrice's face was full of guilt. "I said, that's it!" Ankolo turned around and reached for his hand. Pressing a pair of jade fingers on Atrice's slightly spread red lips, she stopped Atrice from continuing, but there was a hint of bitterness on her face: "Your Majesty has appointed you as the person in charge of the Hérault region. In fact, it is It was a warning to me for doing something without authorization. What kind of person is the emperor? How could I hide this little move from his eyes? Or maybe I didn’t notice it at first. You know that your majesty is an eagle who regards the entire continent as a chessboard. We are just the upper class. Even if you see some of the little beasts that are not on the surface, His Majesty is too lazy to point it out, but the Ikar people openly launched an attack in the royal capital, which clearly touched His Majesty's bottom line."

Ankolo's voice paused, his eyes as sharp as knives. If we at Mount Edmund hadn't deliberately released the water, do you really think that a mere Ikar could take action in the capital of Aero? She is Ankoluo, the lord of Mount Aitemon, and the actual controller of the capital of Eero. It is a joke that a mere Kentam family wants to take over the capital of Eero, even if the emperor does not allow her to cause trouble. , and she also has enough ways to make the Kentam family irreversible! Everything is in the past. I am telling you this now because you are now the head of the Eero region of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department. This is what you need to know in your position. If it were just your identity as the heir of the Kentam family, I would even I won’t even look at you, you know! "

At this moment, the cold arrogance spreading from Ankeluo's body was like a lonely queen in the dark.

Atrice's pretty face was pale, her fingers were clenched, and her whole body seemed dull.

Mount Edmund did almost nothing during this period, and even seemed to be invisible, as if the door had been opened, allowing the Kentam family to come in smoothly.

Atrice thought that this was a special order from the Emperor to prevent Mount Edmon from causing trouble during this period. In fact, from the day the Kentam family entered the capital of Aero, Mount Edmond had already started to take action. , Mount Edmond is Mount Edmund, the shadow of the royal family of Hérault, the king in the darkness of the capital of Hérault, even if it is just quietly lurking in the dark, it is still enough to make the Kentam family without any foundation come to an end.

It's just a pity that God's calculation is not as good as that of man! It's just a little bit short, and sure enough, no one here is a normal person. All the forces have a clear understanding of the fire, the insidiousness of the Ikar people, the trap and killing of Mount Edmon, and finally the emperor of the empire once again set the chess game right without revealing anything. , just go with the flow and you will be able to do it easily The power of the Hérault region was taken away from Mount Edmond, which prevented Mount Edmond from interfering too much in the Hérault region. No wonder Ankolo had a tangled and aggrieved expression. The things he handed over, but Mount Edmund The hard work and sacrifice of countless people for more than a hundred years,

The only ones who didn't notice it here were the self-righteous Kentam family! The sleeping Kentam family really lives up to its name.

"You just said that Balasock of the fifth regiment is one of yours!" Atrice's head was overwhelmed by too much information today. She already understood that if the Kentam family mobilized troops into the city, , everything will be irreversible. After hesitating, she gritted her teeth and asked, "If the order issued here conflicts with the order of the Kentam family, whose order will Balasock choose to obey?"

There is no doubt that the attitude of Balasock, the leader of the fifth regiment, is the most critical.

"Balasok is an ambitious man. Although he is involved with Mount Edmon, what really determines his movements is interests." Ankolo was quite satisfied with Atrice's reaction and gave him gave an ambiguous reply, which seemed to be a reminder, but also made people a little unsure. Atrice's eyes flickered, trying hard to capture the true meaning of Ankeluo's words. Ankeluo mentioned interests. , what are the interests Balasok seeks most?

As the head of the city guard in the capital of Aero, he holds the power of the city guard and is the confidant of Shi's father. It is destined that as long as he does not make a big mistake, there is basically no possibility of being replaced. So what other interests can impress him? Balasok

Seeing Atrice's slightly frowning embroidered eyebrows, Enkelo smiled slightly and said, "I should have said just now that Balasock came to the capital of Aero this time to fight. If it was just for a mere For the position of a guard in the city of Eero, Balasock would be more comfortable staying in the southern fiefdom. Do you think there is anyone else in the capital of Eero that is worthy of Balasock's refuge, besides the Kentam family? Who is said to be coming on behalf of the empire this time?

"Are you talking about Governor Plais? Balasock is going to defect to Plaice!" Atrice's delicate body trembled slightly, and Ankeluo's words were like a bright light, giving Atrice a sense of The epiphany of peeling away the fog and seeing the moonlight: "People go to higher places, and water goes to lower places." Liu, not to mention people like Balasok, who knew that neither the Imperial Army nor Mount Edmund would let a person who was devoted to the Kentam family stay in the position of the guard of Hello City for too long. For a long time, this is what Balasok said about giving it a try.

Use yourself as a bargaining chip to win a good future among all forces

Ankoluo raised his hand indifferently, "As a retainer of the Kentam family and the commander of the fifth family guard regiment, Balasock naturally knew that the Kentam family could become the Eero royal family. It was pushed forward by the empire, so no matter how prosperous the Kentam family is, it is just the fate of a puppet."

"It's okay if it's still in the south of Erro, but this is the capital of Erro," Anklo said. "In front of us is Mount Edmond, a brutal existence that eats people without spitting out bones. Behind us, there are the emperor's forces anytime and anywhere." Surveillance, who is he, the city guard of the capital of Eero? If he is still following the Kentam family wholeheartedly, he doesn't know how to find a big tree. Rely on, I am afraid I don’t know how I died, and among these forces worthy of taking refuge, the first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Emperor’s side who can reach the sky in one step. Plais, an important minister of the Emperor’s side, is sitting in the capital of King Eero at this moment. , the position of the city guard of the King of Aero, although it is not a high position, it is enough to qualify him to be in Plaice's sight.

Do you think Balasok will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Balasock has been intensively visited four times by Prais during this period. Balasock even proposed that the imperial government take over the city guard of the capital of Aero, but you Kentam family don't know that. "

The words Akolo said made Atrice feel chills running straight into her head. "Balasok..."

Atrice's breathing was heavy. The Kentam family was suffering from external and internal troubles. Her father might not have thought of this, but as Ankolo said, the Kentam family was the one who didn't want to wake up.
