Realm of Power

"What, you want to join me?"

The fat man stood up from his seat with a face full of surprise. He stared at Duo Weiyan for a full minute. Looking at this Kugit young man whom he had dealt with many times, he felt a sense of sadness for no reason, as if he was seeing a man being killed. The lone wolf, driven out of the pack, runs blankly on the grassland

"Did something happen in Yunzhong City? Otherwise, why would your Duo Wei Ministry come to Ai Che Mor?" The fat man patted Duo Weiyan on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down on the seat next to him.

"Hey, the grand duke guessed it right. It really makes you laugh when you say it." Duo Weiyan sat down, saluted with his right hand on his chest, and said angrily with an ugly face.

"Ever since the Grand Duke left Yunzhong City, the situation in Turga has changed. The news that the Ruidian people are detouring through the western grasslands and heading north has caused differences among the leaders of the various tribes who originally proposed to fight to the death.

Because the target of the Ruidian army was the area north of Turga City, which was the territory of the three tribes that King Khan relied on most. When they heard that the Ruidian people were coming to attack them, these cowards became timid and contacted the king. Several wealthy families in the imperial court asked King Khan to abandon Yunzhong City and retreat to their territory to establish a defensive line. They also called it a frontal decisive battle.

"Bah" Duo Weiyan spat on the ground with excitement and said, "These guys are just trying to protect their own territory, and treat the hundreds of thousands of people in Turga as cannon fodder in all the episodes. Their proposal was rejected on the spot. The Queen, who was present at the meeting, vetoed

Her Royal Highness the Queen believes that the north of Turga is a mountainous and hilly land, which is not suitable for our Kujit light cavalry to fight. Once the main force of the Ruidian Army crosses the mountains, it will form a front and rear pincer attack on our army. Even if it retreats in time, it will Morale is so low that even if there are many tribes, the royal court will not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

Therefore, the last resort is to unite with Dongting, who has not yet participated in the war, and launch a counterattack against Rui Erdian from two directions at the same time. Only in this way can Rui Erdian's 60,000 defenders be defeated in one blow in the shortest possible time. Rui Erdian's northern border If it falls, Ruildian's main force, which is alone and deeply entrenched, will be in a dilemma, and the situation on the entire continent will quickly tilt towards Kujit.

At that time, the entire north will change from our enemy to our ally. Just sending 20,000 elite light cavalry will be enough to drag Ruildian's main northern force to death in the vast northwest grassland."

"Unfortunately, the queen's proposal was not recognized by the royal court. Some tribal leaders even made rude remarks, openly saying that the queen had died 20 years ago. What is now appearing in the royal court are some impostors with ulterior motives. The situation is urgent, and the queen I had no choice but to secretly order our Duo Wei Department to cooperate with the Dongting operation alone."

"No wonder, I said that although the Dongting Cavalry is ferocious, without a familiar guide, how could it have been possible to penetrate through the gaps in the Ruidian people's defense line so accurately? It turns out that you Duowei Department is cooperating." The fat man sighed with emotion, as if he suddenly understood. He slapped his palm on the table, and there was a crisp sound

"Now the royal court has declared our Duowei tribe as rebels. The tribes that are usually better with me have also shown their dangerous fangs towards us. As a last resort, our Duoweiyan tribe, which has tens of thousands of people, can only rely on Ai Chemoer City is looking for a place to stay." Duo Weiyan shook his head with a gray face.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen sent a message to me, asking me to find the Grand Duke. She said that as long as I give the token to you, the Grand Duke will naturally make a proper arrangement for me."

The fat man stretched out his hand to support Duo Weiyan and said, "You and I are old friends. Even if we don't have a token, I will never treat you badly. There is a swampland to the west of Aichemore, which leads to Turga." This is the only way to go. Originally, I was still considering handing it over to a trustworthy person, so I will hand it over to your Duowei Department. I believe that you will definitely become my most powerful ally in Wikiya."

"Thank you, Grand Duke. I would like to express my gratitude to the Grand Duke on behalf of the 46,000 members of the Duowei tribe." Duo Weiyan heard the fat man's promise, her body trembled with excitement, she knelt down again, and said with her right hand stroking her chest with a pious face. 7 Qilu Zhongbei Jingai, please remember our: hand beating

"To the west of Aichemore is a lake area with abundant water and grass. The scenery is beautiful and the grass is abundant. It is the most desirable grazing area for our herdsmen. It is called the "Pearl on the Grassland." In the past, it has always been an area directly under the jurisdiction of the royal court. We, one of the three guards in the Royal Court, are not qualified to graze there. To gain such trust from the Grand Duke, even if we are shattered to pieces, our Duo Guard will never take a step back."

"Oh, by the way. Before leaving, the Queen asked me to bring a letter to the Grand Duke." Duo Weiyan paused in her voice, seeming to remember something, and quickly took out a letter from her arms and raised her hands in front of the fat man. road

"This is an urgent message sent back by a senior spy deployed by the Queen in the southern island country of Salander using the Green Eagle. The Green Eagle is the top messenger artifact of our Kugit royal family. It will not be used under normal circumstances. A young eagle as young as three months old, fed with secret methods, can cross a thousand miles in a day and a night. No matter how far the journey is, the green eagle can accurately find the target it needs to reach, but after arriving, the green eagle will be exhausted due to exhaustion. and die,

Duo Weiyan paused and looked at the letter with solemn eyes. "Since this letter is delivered with a green eagle, it must be an extremely important matter. The same is true for the Queen who wants me to present this letter to the Grand Duke in person."

“Oh, it’s so urgent”

The fat man looked slightly moved and quickly took the letter from Duo Weiyan.

After opening the seal of the letter, a faint feminine fragrance came out from the paper. It looked like Juanxiu's handwriting was written by a woman. It might even have been written by Queen Aichmore herself.

"Hiss." The fat man's eyes swept over the letter and he took a breath of cold air. The happy expression just now suddenly turned into a solemn face. After a while, he glanced at Duo Weiyan, who was also confused, and suddenly asked

"Do you know a Marquis of Salander named Victonsee?"

"Victonsai" Duo Weiyan was stunned for a moment when he was asked, thought for a while, and shook his head firmly, "Salander and I, Kugit, live in the south and north, except for the occasional Salander businessman who comes to us." The Duowei Ministry purchases horses and livestock, and we have basically never seen a Salander, let alone the Marquis of Salander."

"Where is the woman named Fei Dunlan Ya?" The fat man was silent for a while, put the letter on the table, and continued to ask.

"Fiton Lanya" Duo Weiyan's face changed color slightly, "How do you know my sister's name? Fei Dunlan Ya is not only the most famous beauty in our Duo Wei Department, but she is also the hereditary person responsible for raising trust eagles."

"That's right. Where is she now?" The fat man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she was indeed there and asked quickly.

"She is now in the Mokodo Hills, fifty miles away from here." Duo Weiyan quickly responded, "There is a temporary camp we set up there. Because we need to contact the tribal camp in Aichemore, I will also be here this time. She brought it out, but she didn’t expect that it would be related to her.”

"Is Mokodo fifty miles away? I've been there. It was still July, and the water in that river is very sweet." The fat man said with a smile. He held the letter tightly in his hand for a few times, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly opened the closed curtain of the tent.

He shouted to the guard standing guard outside the door, "Doakes, tell Hu Keqili to prepare his horse. I have something urgent to go out."

The wind whistled by my ears, and a group of black-armored cavalry marched against the wind and snow. Large snowflakes rushed towards them, dyeing the people and horses white.

"How far is it from the camp? If we can't reach it before dark, it will be very dangerous to camp in this open area." The fat man brushed the snowflakes from the corners of his eyebrows with his hands, turned to ask Duo Weiyan, who was leading the way,

The road ahead was completely covered by wind and snow, and the dark sky was filled with black clouds. The cold breath was like a galloping horse, ravaging the fat man's plump face, and blowing like two red apples.

"Right ahead, across this wide land, is our camp." Duo Weiyan turned around. The wind blew the messy hair on his head flying, and his thin cheeks were covered with white frost, but his face still had a confident expression.

According to the habits of the Kugit people, a man who has not experienced a snowstorm is not considered a Kugit man. Although he was raised as a nobleman since he was a child, his experience in the past six months has transformed him from an unseasoned nobleman. , transforming into an increasingly wolfish Kugit elite

"Everyone speed up, let's rush over"

Hearing Duo Weiyan's reply, the fat man shouted loudly behind him, clamped his feet together, and the black horse turned into a shadow, passing through the snowflakes in the sky, and stepping across a section of the river full of ice, he saw that he was not there In a depression in the distance, there are more than a dozen temporary tents. There are several figures running back and forth, pulling ropes to stabilize the tents that are about to be blown away by the wind.

"It's Master Duoweiyan's Heixue, Lord Duoweiyan is back." The shouts of the Kugit people came from the distance, and they obviously recognized Duoweiyan who was leading the way.

Handing the reins of the war horse to the guard beside him, the fat man followed Duo Weiyan into the largest tent in the middle.

The Kugit people quickly brought spicy liquor to warm the fat man who was frozen stiff. A golden roasted lamb was carried in by two people.

"Go and find Feidun Lanya. My guest has something to ask him." Duo Weiyan sat cross-legged under the fat man and ordered the servants outside the tent. Soon, the curtain of the tent was opened by a graceful figure.

"Brother, is this your guest?"

A beautiful woman wearing plain green clothes walked in with a slim figure. The gown decorated with streamers looked simple and bright. Her lower body was wearing a white silk skirt and a belt around her waist.

This outfit looks like an otherworldly fairy, which is totally incompatible with the atmosphere and environment of this place, but her expression is so natural and makes everything unreasonable reasonable.

Her silky black hair, as delicate as brocade, hangs freely and freely on her back. Her fair and jade-like skin complements her elegant attire, which highlights her flower-like appearance.

What is particularly touching is that her pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak have an innocent look that seems to know nothing about the world, making her as pure and beautiful as a white lotus in bud.

"Grand Duke, this is my sister Fitunlan Ya" Duo Weiyan introduced to the fat man, then waved to the beautiful woman and asked her to come and sit opposite the fat man.

"Damn, I didn't expect this guy to have such a beautiful sister."

The fat man curled his lips. The calm orchid-like aura of the beauty opposite made the fat man unable to take his eyes away. She was also a Kugit beauty. This woman was completely different from the wild beauty of Sceris. Facing her, , just like seeing a crystal clear pool, which makes people feel unnaturally wanting to get closer.

"Grand Duke" The beauty opposite heard Duo Weiyan's name for the fat man, her eyes lit up, her clear and bright gaze stayed on the fat man for a while, she slowly stood up and bowed to the fat man Yingying and said, "Excuse me, the person opposite, but in the legendary battle The Invincible Grand Duke of Falcons"

The sound is comfortable and crisp, full of the beautiful feeling of music, crystal clear, and as powerful as her beauty.

"Well, it's just some false reputation." The fat man smiled calmly. He has seen many beauties and has already developed a certain immunity to them.

Put down the wine glass and let the burning heat roll down your throat.

The fat man looked at the beautiful Kugit girl opposite him with sharp eyes and said, "May I ask if you know a Marquis of Salander named Victonce? This matter is very important to us in Vikia. I hope the lady can answer it seriously."

"Sister, if you really know each other, please tell the Grand Duke," Duo Weiyan next to her said eagerly,

Now that we are vassals of the Falcon Principality, our interests are connected, and helping the Grand Duke is helping ourselves."

"Of course I know Vic Dunse and I'm very familiar with him." Feitunlanya looked stunned for a moment, and glanced at Duo Weiyan on the seat with her stunningly beautiful eyes.

"You really know me." Duo Weiyan dropped the wine glass in his hand and shouted exaggeratedly, "It's impossible that you and I grew up together. How come I didn't know there was such a person and he was from Salander?"

"Pfft." Looking at Duo Weiyan who was in a hurry, Feitunlanya on the seat covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled.

"Have you forgotten that your mother is from Salander? Isn't Viktonsee the nickname your mother likes to pronounce most when she puts you to sleep? As for the Marquis, I don't know, but I heard my mother mention it before. However, the family does have an elder in Salander who serves as a marquis, but that was more than ten years ago."

"Okay, it seems it's just a misunderstanding. Just find the person."

The fat man waved his hand to Duo Weiyan, who looked hesitant next to him, and gestured to the guards on both sides, asking everyone to step back. Only Duo Weiyan and Feiton Lanya were left.

Putting the letter in his arms on the table, the fat man looked at the two people with doubtful faces and said, "Do you know why I came all night to confirm who Victonsey is? All the secrets are in this letter. This time Ai Queen Chemore specially proposed you two, so you might as well take a look."

"Ah, this, this is definitely a letter written by Her Majesty the Queen."

Fitunlanya's hand that picked up the letter trembled uncontrollably, her face was full of piety and admiration, her eyes followed the letter as she unfolded it, her red lips were slightly open,

"What's going on?" Duo Weiyan, who was next to him, quickly grabbed it and fixed his eyes on the letter.

After a while, he slowly said, "The southern part of Salander was invaded by foreigners. How is this possible? It is a vast sea area."

"It's nothing strange. Aren't the Rode people also crossed the sea and came from the outer continent?" The fat man said with a solemn expression, "It is the information brought by these alien races that is the most shocking.

Salander is just a springboard for their attack. The real target is the connection point of the North Road of Salander, which is within the scope of our Wikiya. When the kingdom of Salander is destroyed, these aliens will invade our Wikija in a big way. I believe Ai Queen Chemore asked you to send the letter so urgently to tell me this."

"But, what does this have to do with the name Victonsai?" Duo Weiyan said with a puzzled expression. "Although my mother is from Salander, I am a Kugit. Could it be that Salander's affairs have something to do with it?" What does it matter to me?"

"Haha, brother, you don't understand this." Fitunlanya blinked at the fat man and laughed softly, "Behind Salander is the Grand Duke's Vekia, so before getting ready for the battle, Salander Rand must not perish. The only one who can help Salander now is Vecia, but if not With a formal name, even the Grand Duke's army will not be able to enter Salander. Don't forget, according to the Queen's information, you are a Marquis of Salander. And I remember my mother told me that she was at the seaside. Growing up, that is to say, your Marquis of Salander’s territory is close to the sea."

"This woman is not simple." Hearing Fitunlanya's analysis, the fat man was shocked. He looked curiously at the Kugit beauty opposite him and said in a slow voice.

"You are right. Salander's survival has been linked to me, Wikija. According to the intelligence, the offensive of this group of aliens was extremely fierce and well-equipped. They occupied half of the Kingdom of Salander in just half a year. Land, if it continues at this rate, the Kingdom of Salander will only be able to support it for a year at most, so we, Wevegia, must send out troops immediately. Your title of Marquis is the best disguise for our Wekeia army."

"It seems that I owe your queen a favor," the fat man said with a wry smile.

"Time is running out, please ask the people below to prepare, take my orders, and go to Wocheze in the south first. I will order the combined fleets of the Dillens family and the Hulin tribe to immediately conduct comprehensive surveillance of Salander and mobilize all forces." The means must be to find out Salander's situation

The fat man stood up and said with a serious expression, "If necessary, we can use the name of the Marquis of Victonsee to send a small number of troops ashore. We ask them to first establish a port for transporting supplies. In a month, when I lead the army south, I must at least see Three military ports capable of transporting troops."

"After one month, lead the army southward." Feidenlanya looked stunned, and then said excitedly, "What the Grand Duke means is that within one month, those hateful Ruidian people can be eliminated. That's more than 100,000 people." Elites, even in our prairie, there is no such general who dares to boast of defeating so many enemies."

"Since I'm one of my own, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth." The fat man shrugged helplessly and laughed.

"We have actually negotiated with the Ruidian people for a long time. In order to redeem the 100,000 people who were besieged, the Ruidian royal family is definitely selling the iron this time. They even pawned their last pair of trousers as compensation. The military expenditure of 15 million gold coins plus Even the critical Eberron region and Uludag County. I dare to lead the army south this time because these two regions are enough to ensure the security of the Kingdom of Vecia."

"It's a pity. If it weren't for this matter, I would be interested in spending more time with the Ruidian people. Maybe I could gain more."

"Now we can only end this war immediately. I hope the Kingdom of Salander can sustain it for a little longer. Don't let me down too much. I brought the best wine this time. Just treat it as my practice for you in advance."

The fat man looked outside with a solemn expression, raised his empty wine glass, and said to the guard outside the door, "Come here, bring me the best prairie wine right now. I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."

The cold wind howled as the three of them drank all night.

It was already bright when the fat man opened his eyes. He opened the curtain of the tent and saw that the wind and snow outside had stopped. A group of light cavalry from the base camp were guarding the surrounding area.

"Grand Duke" Hu Keqili got off an oncoming war horse and saluted the fat man and said, "Master Duoweyan has left at dawn. In order not to disturb the Grand Duke's rest, he has ordered people to leave all the tents." Here".
