Realm of Power

The night is desolate, and a lonely arc moon hangs in the sky,

Silver luster floats down from the sky, and the birch forest on the river bank is dyed with a hazy color.

The refreshing night breeze carries the rushing sound of the river, dispelling the heat of the day, like a lover's gentle hand gently pushing open the half-covered small window of the Wedalek Manor.

A bright light shot out from the second-story attic window of the manor, like a sharp sword piercing the light night fog outside,

"Creak!" A silver carriage, escorted by several black-armored cavalry, stopped at the quiet courtyard gate of the manor.

"Stop! ID?" A serious-looking guard captain waved. After verifying the procedures for leading the guards, he directed the soldiers behind him to push open the hollow iron door engraved with Sumurali pattern.

The wheels of the carriage sounded again, and they continued to drive forward for more than thirty meters before turning a corner and arriving in front of the front hall of a two-story building.

"Thank you for your hard work, you two!" Lidakus, who was wearing a military uniform, looked at the stopped carriage, walked forward in a few steps, and opened the door with his hand.

"Pa!" A stunning beauty with a clear face got out of the carriage. The light aqua dress could not hide her arrogance like ice and snow.

Lidakus was stunned when he saw it

Immediately afterwards

Behind the pure snow-like Mao Monaqing, another tall beauty wearing silver mail armor came down.

Her long, taut legs and curvaceous figure, coupled with the exquisite and close-fitting soft-iron mail armor all over her body, make her look like a lively female leopard.

The noble bloodline of the royal family makes Scelis, sexy and naturally noble, complementing each other with the beautiful beauties around her.

The dark night seemed to glow with a magnificent atmosphere in front of these two beauties,

Even Lidakus, who had always restrained himself with aristocratic etiquette, couldn't help but look sideways, and it took him a while to wake up.

"Please come with me. The Grand Duke has been waiting for a long time." Lidakus then bent down to cover up his embarrassment.

"Click! Crack!" The three people's footsteps stepped on the wooden stairs of the attic, making a slight squeezing sound. Under the leadership of a guard captain wearing black armor at the hall door, the three people came to the left side of the second-floor attic. outside a room

"Grand Duke! Lidakus and the Kugit Secret Envoy have arrived!"

"Let them in!"

Hearing the guard's report from the door, the fat man who was signing and correcting documents raised his head from a pile of papers.

July! It is the harvest month and also the time when official documents are the most heavy.

Financial statements from all over the country are coming like snowflakes, and the next step of farming preparations, as well as the construction of the business network in the newly opened western region and the Kingdom of Rode, are all very difficult issues.

The door was pushed open by the guard standing guard, and the fat man saw Lidakus walking in accompanied by two stunning beauties, one of whom was Mao Monaqing whom he had met in the west.

The other one should be the secret envoy sent by the Kugit Court this time.

"This woman...?" The fat man's deep gaze was stunned for a moment on Sceris' pretty face full of wild temptation.

I feel that this emissary looks a bit familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere.

Seeing the fat man's confused look, Scelis, who was following behind Mao Monaqing, smiled softly and said with a bit of boldness unique to prairie women.

"The Grand Duke is really forgetful. Has he forgotten the person who made a secret appointment with Samor Fortress two years ago?" After saying this, Sceris raised her hands in the air.

"Sir, do you still remember this thing!" Sceris knelt on the ground on one knee. In her hands, a curved scimitar inlaid with countless blue broken star gems was shining with a faint blue light. ,

"Prairie Blue Moon!" The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw Scimitar, and he suddenly realized that this was the Kugit envoy who secretly traded grain with him in Samor two years ago!

"Haha, it turns out to be Miss Scerlis! I haven't seen you for two years, and you are still so impressive!" The fat man smiled awkwardly.

A flash of memory flashed in his eyes, thinking that he had fought a life-and-death battle with Kujit's left guard king two years ago.

Now he has become the only savior in the eyes of the Kugit people.

I can’t help but feel a little hush in my heart

He rose up because of the Kugit War 2 years ago. Logically speaking, he should be the mortal enemy of the Kugit people, but things have changed so quickly.

The enemy became a friend, and he had to fight against the Kugits.

If the Kujit Grassland falls into the hands of the Ruildian people, the first person that Ruildian, whose strength has greatly increased, will be destroyed will definitely be Wikia, who once made him miserable.

"What's this? When did Kujit and I become two grasshoppers tied on a rope!" The fat man looked at Sceris below, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly

"The eagle soars over the grassland! The falcon spreads its wings over the hills and fields. Kugit and Vekia are mutual friends!" Seeing that the fat man recognized the scimitar, Sceris stood up and first bowed deeply to the fat man. A big gift, he said slowly

"The master of the steppe, the great Kujit Khan, expresses his sincere gratitude to the Grand Duke for his generosity and kindness some time ago, and specially sent me to bring something to the Grand Duke."

"Oh, King Kujit Khan is so polite!" The fat man immediately became energetic when he heard that there was a gift.

In order to support Kujit's fight with Ruidian, Fatty did not hesitate to cut the price and wholesale, and supported Kujit with 30,000 kilograms of fine iron specially used to make weapons.

Every time he thinks of this, Fatty still feels a twinge of pain. Even though those weapons were recently captured in the Northern Campaign, they are still a large sum of money. If converted into gold coins, they would be worth at least 300,000 gold coins.

"Grand Duke! Do you know this thing?" Sceris took out a scroll from her personal soft armor and gently placed it on the fat man's table.

"Huh?" The fat man didn't know what Scellis was up to. He picked up the scroll from the table curiously, took a breath of air, blinked for a while, and then looked at Scellis again.

"What is this picture?" The fat man deliberately pretended to be stupid and put down the picture scroll nervously.

That's right, when Fatty saw it for the first time, he already knew what it was. It was a treasure map. What a pity! Fatty has seen this picture before.

Two years ago, Fatty relied on the same treasure map to obtain a large amount of property robbed by Kujit, which also gave Samor the funds to rise.

What does the Kugit people mean by giving this to themselves as a gift? The fat man couldn't make a choice for a moment, and there was a look of hesitation on his face.

"Have you seen the same picture before?" Scelis knew that Fatty was obsessed with money, and when she saw Fatty's strange expression, she immediately felt cold.

This time Wang Ting asked him to bring this picture with him, with the intention of using the buried treasure to reward Samor.

But from the fat man's enthusiastic attitude, the astute Scellis suddenly realized something!

The time and place of Samor's rise coincided very well with the time when contact with another extremely important treasure map was lost.

"Could it be that the treasure of the Son of the Eagle is in the hands of the fat man?" Thinking of this, Scellis's heart palpitated and she decided to continue the test.

"This is a treasure map! The three locations on it are where the royal court buried their belongings when they withdrew from Wikiya two years ago. The total amount is about 4.5 million gold coins. This time King Khan asked me to bring them to Duke, in order to thank His Majesty the Duke for his generosity to Kujit." Sceris stared at the fat man with her bright eyes, as if she wanted to see something from the fat man's face.

But except for the abnormal situation just now, the fat man's expression was indifferent afterwards. Scellis couldn't make a conclusion when he looked at him, so she could only withdraw her gaze.

Seeing Sceris withdraw her suspicious gaze, the fat man put the treasure map into his arms and sneered secretly, "Silly girl! Play psychological warfare with the fat man! You are too young!"

"Bang bang!" Just when the room was in embarrassment, a guard knocked on the door of the study and came in with a military letter stamped with urgent fire paint, "Grand Duke, Northern Dispatch." .

Konoe whispered in the fat man's ear. The fat man nodded while listening, but glanced at Scellis with a meaningful look in his eyes, which made Scellis's heart beat uncontrollably.

Sceris knew that there was no war in Vecia in the north, so this urgent report must be related to Kujit.

What will it be? Disaster or hope?

Sceris looked at the emergency report in the fat man's hand and felt her breathing quicken. She pinched the edge of the trousers tightly with her fingers and found that they were slippery. Then she felt that her palms were all sweaty.

During this time, Scellis felt as if a whole century had passed.

Sure enough, after the fat man waved the guard down, he did not read the emergency report in his hand. Instead, he changed his indifferent expression and looked at Scellis again with complex eyes for a while.

"I don't know if this is good news or bad news." The fat man paused for a moment. Seeing Sceris' nervous face turned red, he said in a solemn voice.

"We received an urgent report from the north. About fifteen days ago, the Kugit Royal Court assembled 200,000 troops in the Arak area east of Turga City, Veladis in the south, and Vik in the northwest. From three directions, we launched a comprehensive counterattack against Ruidian's army, and captured the important northern town of Aichmore six days ago!"

"Ah! Achemore? You said we occupied Achemore! How is this possible?" Scelis opened her mouth wide with disbelief on her face.

"Yes! You have occupied Aichemor!" The fat man nodded slightly. Instead of showing any joy, he frowned and handed the emergency report in front of Sceris.

Sceris took it nervously and scanned several pieces of the emergency report. Her beautiful big eyes were shining with crystal tears, and the hand holding the emergency report was trembling slightly.

The news was too sudden. The tribe that was forced into a desperate situation actually achieved such a brilliant record, which filled Scellis's heart with shock and pride. The only thing she could think of now was "I want to go back!"

Sceris could no longer sit still and stood up excitedly to say goodbye to the fat man and said, "Grand Duke, please forgive me for being rude. I am not only a Kugit envoy, but also a Kugit royal family. My bloodline and identity are both I must rush back immediately! I want to fight like an eagle soaring over the grassland!"

"It would be great if you could really soar like an eagle." The fat man looked at the excited Scellis. Instead of showing any joy, he stood up with a sad look on his face and said a very emotional sentence.

"What does the Grand Duke mean by this?" Sceris' face was stunned. She was an extremely alert person, otherwise she would not have served as the foreign affairs officer of the royal court. After the burst of ecstasy just now, she also felt that something was wrong!

The urgent report just mentioned only mentioned that the Kujit army had advanced all the way to the Aichmore area, but it did not mention the encounter with the Ruidian army. It seemed that the Ruidian army had forced the Kujit to death some time ago. Disappeared and evaporated overnight,

"Haven't you seen it yet? This is a bureau! A bureau specifically targeting you Kugit people!" The fat man stood by the window of the room with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight outside the window with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice

"You Kujit cavalry are as fast as the wind, and they gather and disperse erratically. They are simply unable to form a large-scale annihilation battle.

If you want to get you to stick together, you need a big enough bait,

and Aichemoer is it,

The commander of Rieldian is really generous." The fat man sighed, one Aichemoer made a whole 200,000 Kugit army give up their high-speed mobility advantage to defend the city!
