Realm of Power

A boundless silence enveloped the city in the clouds at dusk. The sun, which was about to sink below the horizon, spit out its glow before being swallowed up by the earth, dyeing the western sky red. Lights were lit in the outermost tent area, and the city was filled with smoke. The breath of life, for the black-haired young man who had just learned about the great changes in Aden, had an extraordinarily warm feeling.

The black-haired young man looked away from a distance, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect that the royal family of Aden came to the rescue. This is really surprising, but thinking about it, I also met a team from the Red Dragon Palace on the way. The officer who led the team died bravely, which is enough Let me confirm that what the high priest said may be true. The Red Dragon Palace has existed in the upper echelons of the Aden nobles for many years, and has always been in a state of mutual checks and balances with the Aden royal family, but I did not expect it to end like this."

"Checks and balances? Does Your Majesty really think that the Royal Family of Aden can check and balance the Red Dragon Palace?"

The high priest of the Tian Temple had a stern look on his face and grinned. It seemed that as soon as he mentioned the embarrassment in Aden, the high priest of the Tian Temple became particularly excited. He glanced at the black-haired young man with complex eyes and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, as a He pressed Shenquan under his butt with his own hands and rubbed it so hard A powerful monarch, he knew very well how terrifying a theocratic power that had existed for decades was. The theocratic power itself was a plunder of secular monarchy. What's more, the Red Dragon Palace came from the remnants of the Holy City and represented the most powerful theocratic power of that era. The so-called At that time, Aden was still a holy city. It is just a vassal tribe in the Gulf of Aden. One is superior and the other is still ignorant. The two sides cannot be equal from the starting point. How can the Red Dragon Palace allow the Aden royal family to check and balance? For decades, the Aden Red Dragon Palace has supported Aden. Man rises and gradually dominates the entire The Gulf of Aden has become a powerful kingdom spanning the three continents of Nanshan, Central Asia and Oubalu. Secretly, I don’t know how many nails have been placed in the Kingdom of Aden. Now that the Aden royal family is trying to get rid of the control of the Red Dragon Palace, it will naturally Suffering the most brutal counterattack from the Red Dragon Palace"

Putamia's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she murmured in a low voice, "The Aden royal family also has the Aden military, which has been the basis of the Aden royal family's resistance to the Red Dragon Palace for many years. Why is the Aden military also siding with the Aden Red Dragon Palace this time?" ? "Pudamia is indeed a figure who knows the country of Aden well, and she points to the core issue. The Aden military is the die-hard loyalist of the Aden royal family, and it is also the biggest support of the Aden royal family. The Aden Red Dragon Palace can actually make the Aden military switch sides. This The reasons inside are crucial to the empire

The high priest of the Temple of Heaven gave a strange dry cough, glanced at the equally confused black-haired young man, and said, "I know a little bit about this. It's really because of the situation in Aden that the Aden military had to rebel. After all, it's all your Majesty." It was caused by one hand"

The black-haired young man blinked, "Does it have something to do with the Aden military's defection to me?"

The high priest of Tianmiao said lightly, "Your Majesty must be well aware of the Red Dragon Palace's practice of holding back the royal family of Aden. In order to combat the rising power of the royal family of Aden, the Red Dragon Palace even ignored Aden's interests and directly sought cooperation from the empire. Secretly betraying the Aden Navy The important information finally allowed the Imperial Navy to defeat the main force of the Aden Navy in the Battle of Mars Star Moon Bay. Originally, I thought it was because the Red Dragon Palace of Aden did not want to see the Aden royal family become the emperor of Aden, so it stabbed a knife in the back, but now that I think about it , that may not be the case.”

“What does that mean?”

The black-haired young man's eyes narrowed slightly. If he hadn't heard the high priest raise a question, he would have thought so. Looking back now, there are many doubts. Before the war with the empire, the Aden royal family was in full swing and achieved great results in Central Asia. , and as for Oubaluo, because he wisely avoided several wars with the empire and retained considerable strength, if this continues, the King of Aden can be steadily promoted to the stage of Emperor of Aden

But due to the war with the empire, the Aden royal family's path to promotion to the royal family that only needed to be steady and steady was cut off!

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the reason why the empire declared war on Aden?" The eyes of the high priest of Tian Temple flashed. As the high priest of Tian Temple, he was also a bystander to the southern war, so he saw it more clearly and said, " Originally, the war between the empire and Aden had always been due to small-scale friction, especially when Aden completely abandoned Ouba. At the entrance to the sea in the east of Luo, the two sides never had much intersection. However, His Majesty suddenly mobilized the army from the north and the south to attack Aden. Isn't it because the 30,000 Red Dragon Cavalry Regiment from the Red Dragon Palace in Aden openly intervened in the battle of South Elo? In other words, without the intervention of the Red Dragon Palace’s 30,000 cavalry regiment, the empire would not suddenly launch a full-scale war against Aden!”

"Yes, the Aden Red Dragon Palace massacred the Sky Temple in the capital of Elo, and even attempted to attack Putamia. It secretly encouraged the princes of Southern Elo to fight against the empire going south. This is the biggest attack on the empire's hegemony in southern Europe. Provocation, in order to shock, that's why I decided to launch a retaliatory raid against the Kingdom of Aden." The black-haired young man nodded, feeling a little shocked at the vicious eyes of the chief priest of the Tianmiao Temple.

"So it was actually the Red Dragon Palace that started the war, wasn't it?"

The high priest of the Tianmiao smiled calmly, "Only by using the knife of the empire to severely damage the reputation of the Aden royal family outside, can the Red Dragon Palace form a pressure on the Aden royal family internally. The Aden Red Dragon Palace betrayed Aden's domestic intelligence to the empire. In fact, it did not It is not to prevent the promotion of the Aden royal family, but there are other attacks After all, that is poaching the biggest corner of the Aden royal family. The Aden military has helped the Aden royal family compete with the Red Dragon Palace of Aden for decades. Looking at the whole world, who else can defeat the Aden military besides the empire? ""You mean? The Red Dragon Palace is killing people with a borrowed knife!" The black-haired young man couldn't help but gasped.

The high priest of Tianmiao said, "The Aden military and the Aden royal family have shared weal and woe for so many years. It is impossible for them to switch sides easily, unless the Aden military is forced to a dead end. This is also the case. Your Majesty's imperial army is attacking like a rainbow and is retaliatory." Aden was completely unprepared for the surprise attack. The Army's defeat in the desert areas in the south and north made the Aden Army even more criticized. The pride of the Aden people suddenly became the "Aden" in Aden. "The Shame of Ding", the reputation of the Aden royal family has naturally suffered a major blow. Even so, Aden still has confidence in the Aden Navy, because the Aden Navy is the overlord of the South China Sea, and the Imperial Navy has come thousands of miles away, and because of Eero The large river is restricted and cannot pass heavy warships. The Aden Navy happens to have the most powerful heavy warships to equip the Aden Navy. Under the circumstances, the Aden Navy really has no possibility of failure."

The high priest of the Tianmiao paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "But the people of Aden have forgotten that in the hands of Your Majesty, the Imperial God of War, there is no such thing as impossible."

After hearing the words of the high priest, Putamia's pretty eyes were bright and frightening. Although the news of the great battle of Mas Bay was only reported back to Opalo for more than a month, it has already affected countless monarchs and important ministers like a hurricane. Overwhelming, this sea battle is also known as the most incredible battle of victory!

The battlefield is the territory of Aden. In the southern sea area, many admirals of the Aden navy can walk back and forth with their eyes closed. Every island and every reef in the sea is familiar to them. If the Imperial Navy rushes in, they will surrender.

In terms of the number of warships, the main force of the Aden Navy has been fully assembled, with more than 300 warships, and dozens of the latest heavy iron-clad ships. However, the total number of Imperial Navy warships opposite is only 200. Even if it is a one-on-one collision, Go up, it’s all in Aden Steady in control of the battlefield situation, this generation of Aden naval admirals are not mediocre people waiting to die. Each one of them climbed up in the flames of war. Although not as dazzling as the golden generation decades ago, they are absolutely Can be considered the platinum generation

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Aden Navy is a gathering of heroes.

The weather, location, and people are all on the side of Aden. The whole country is in mourning because of the destruction of Anxi in Aden. The morale of the army is at the peak. When they see the imperial navy, they will gnash their teeth and pounce on it. They don't even want to mobilize before the war, but the result However, the Gulf of Aden almost exploded, and Mas Xingyue Bay, known as the node of China-Biabia, once again caused the Aden Navy to sink into the sand and suffer humiliation.

More than 300 Aden Navy warships, which devoted all their strength to the Aden Navy, launched a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy in Mas Bay. Just half a month ago, Mas Bay was the center of the Aden Navy. Now it has truly become the meat grinder of the Aden Navy. Aden The navy relied on its numerical superiority to launch a full-line assault. The Imperial Navy used the forts built by the Aden Navy to bombard the Aden warships from two fronts, sinking and damaging more than 200 ships. The Aden Navy retreated from Mas Bay in embarrassment.

The high priest of Tianmiao said slowly, "The impact of this battle on the Aden Navy can be said to be fatal. The disastrous defeat at Mas Bay not only lost all the Aden Navy's decades of efforts in operating in the South China Sea in one fell swoop, but also led to the loss of the main force of the Aden Army." One hundred thousand people were stranded in Central Asia, and the high-anticipated decisive battle at Mas Xingyue Bay finally destroyed the reputation of the Aden Navy, known as the overlord of the South China Sea, and the country of Aden was in chaos. Wailing, it is no wonder that the nobles of Aden have completely lost confidence in the royal family. It is true that the royal family of Aden has been unable to recover, and the news that the empire has firmly established the hegemony of Barro in southern Europe in the old royal capital of Aden has become the last straw to crush the domestic situation in Aden. , the empire's all-out war against Aden is inevitable. At this moment, the Red Dragon Palace of Aden jumps out and proposes the Eye of God plan, which is the last straw for the nobles of Aden to save their lives!

"The Red Dragon Palace is so beneficial to His Majesty that it easily stole the hearts and minds of the military from the royal family of Aden."

The high priest of Tianmiao paused in his voice, and his face was filled with emotion, "Not only did he use the power of the empire to crush the royal family of Aden, he turned around and used the Eye of God to blow up the empire by surprise, and then started negotiations with the empire. If the Red Dragon Palace of Aden agrees to abandon Aden In the occupied areas of Central Asia, the imperial The possibility that the country will agree to an armistice is almost 100%. From beginning to end, the Red Dragon Palace has not suffered any losses, and the royal power of Aden will no longer exist. In the rich Gulf of Aden area, perhaps the Red Dragon Palace can really collapse in the holy city. Ten years later, a theocratic "land-based divine kingdom" was once again established.

I never thought that it would be better for me to become a gold medal fighter for the Red Dragon Palace. The black-haired young man was silent, a flash of anger flashed in his pupils. The Red Dragon Palace of Aden, which had always been difficult to understand before, was now as clear as a fog. Come up, just for such an important event related to the entire Aden situation, the Imperial Intelligence Network did not detect any information at all. This had to make the black-haired emperor feel solemn. This shows that the real power of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden is greater than he expected.

Suddenly a series of noisy bells interrupted his thoughts.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The bells hanging on the eaves of the streets and alleys of Yunzhong City were ringing one after another, mixed with incomparable panic and uncontrollable fear. Even the originally sleepy Yunzhong City seemed to come alive the moment the noisy bell rang. The faces of pedestrians on the road were full of surprise and fear. Amidst the dense ringing of bells, the face of the high priest of the Heavenly Temple changed slightly, and he looked into the distance with extremely sharp eyes. There was uncontrollable anger in his tone: "Asshole, the Red Dragon Palace actually led the beast tide to Yunzhong City. !

"It's a tide of beasts"

Putamia said softly, her pretty face was pale and without a trace of blood, and she looked surprised and said, "Is the Red Dragon Palace ready to show off its cards so soon?"

"It should be that Celine's understanding of the abandoned sword stone stimulated the Red Dragon Palace. They originally wanted to drive Celine crazy to put pressure on the Tamasu family, but unexpectedly they backfired and let Celine inherit the mantle of the female sword master. As a result, Lina Muya, who had put so much effort into it, wasted all their efforts." The high priest of the Tianmiao seemed to have thought of something interesting, and couldn't help but smile. He really didn't like the people of Aden, and the impression given to him by the Red Dragon Temple was that of a red poisonous snake lurking in the desert. It has nothing to do with dragons, extremely noble creatures.

He had known for a long time that the Red Dragon Palace had secretly contacted Lina Muya, the descendant of the female sword master. It had not been a day or two since the Red Dragon Palace had sent people to embed themselves in Yunzhong City. The Red Dragon Palace was not only eyeing the royal power of Aden, but also The same goes for Tianmiao. Although the female swordsman is not the high priest of Tianmiao, she is not under the high priest in terms of power and status. Moreover, the female swordsman is still the master of Yunzhong City. If an expulsion order is issued against Tianmiao, Tianmiao will Falling into an extremely embarrassing situation,

"The Red Dragon Palace used people from the Aden military as bait to lure the beasts to Yunzhong City!" The high priest of the Tian Temple said angrily, "Only a large amount of blood can attract the beasts. For decades, we have been Following the teachings given to us by the female swordsman back then, there are absolutely no hares within a hundred miles around the Tianmiao that can feed the beasts. This city in the clouds has dozens of "I have never been attacked by a herd of beasts in the past year," the high priest of the Tianmiao said. He spoke quickly, while his eyes were always fixed on the black-haired young man. The force of Yunzhong City was limited, and the front suffered a lot of losses. Even if The tribes are united as one, and the number of warriors they can mobilize is no more than 2,000. The number of beasts approaching Yunzhong City in front of them is estimated to be between 50,000 and 60,000.

"I heard that His Majesty mobilized an army and entered the Tianmiao area." The high priest of Tianmiao asked with a trembling voice. This is why he decided to come to see him in person. The only person who can save Yunzhong City now is the black-haired young man in front of him. A herd of tens of thousands of beasts is nothing. The reputation of this black-haired young man is built on killing.
