Realm of Power

"Ahem"

The third prince of Salander, Harris, who was sitting in the city hall, coughed a few times and gently covered his nose with his right hand wearing a white gauze glove. The smell here had a strange musty smell, like a rotten apple. , giving off a sweet smell of lees, which made his nose feel uncomfortable. In the beam of light coming in from the window, he could see countless white gray marks rising and falling,

It can be seen that the city hall of Bekehato City seems to have been abandoned for a long time. The courtyard has just been tidied up, but traces of the original mess can still be seen. The flowers and plants on both sides of the cobblestone path have also been uprooted. , all the precious varieties were pulled out. The murals in the corridor were stained with black dust. On the window sills on both sides of the corridor, the dust was so thick that it could drown a cockroach.

But that's not the most egregious thing. The most egregious thing is that the red carpet spread in the room is too old, and there are still many dirty traces of brooms on the surface.

These expensive cashmere carpets, which are supposed to be paved in the master's hall to show status and nobility, require one or several young maids to bend down, lie on the ground, and carefully use their delicate white hands, like little orioles pecking at rice. Clean it bit by bit and strictly along the clockwise lines. Even a tiny mistake may cause the entire carpet to be imperfect.

This is a very laborious and laborious job, which often requires mobilizing many people and takes an entire afternoon or a day to complete. The cleanliness of the carpet often represents the level of family servants in the Salander aristocratic world.

But it is obvious that the rude Wikians do not know the value of these expensive carpets. Their crude and wrong approach is to randomly find some cloth brooms, rinse them with water several times, and then clean them casually, and then they are carefree. spread on the ground,

The delicate hair of these woolen rugs was completely messed up and tangled together like a bunch of small particles, from which a strange smell emanated,

For the Salander nobles who are accustomed to the fragrance of flowers and the rich carpet culture, this place is simply as scary as hell. These tangled hair balls are like cracks in their hearts.

"How could you do this? This is our noble Third Prince! Such treatment is simply an insult!" A Salander envoy sitting on the left seat protested to the Wikiya guards outside the door with an unhappy face. But his protest could only be met with a blank look from the Vecian guards. Regarding the Salander negotiators, the Grand Duke had already told him, "You don't have to treat him too well, lest he gets into trouble!"

Time passed by moment by moment. Although Duke Falcon of Vecchia had agreed to meet, he did not come until the afternoon.

"I want to see your Grand Duke Falcon, and I want to fight against him..."

The person who protested just now was Salander's Foreign Minister, Duke Ketuson. He stood up from his seat and walked toward the door aggressively, but soon turned back with a pale face. In front of him, two people The Vekia guards who were standing guard at the famous door had already unceremoniously pulled out their swords and blocked the door.

"you......"

"No one is allowed to step out of the door before the adults arrive! Otherwise, they will be shot to death!"

The captain of the Vekia Guards looked at him fiercely, with a dark red blood line in his cold eyes. The sword in his hand was held high, nothing compared to the white neck of this noble man.

The icy-cold blade frightened the delicate and noble Duke of Ketuson, who almost squatted on the ground. His face was red with anguish, and his long and thin fingers were in the air, neither falling nor lifting them. The atmosphere Extremely embarrassed

The sword was as cold as the moon, which made the eyes of several General Salander in the negotiation queue brighten up, and then showed an expression of horror that could not be concealed. This legendary weapon is indeed like its illustrious name, even if you look at it for a long time, it can make you People feel cold from their hearts,

The weird curved blade gives this weapon a far more ferocious cutting ability than a long sword. From the moment it was born, this evil weapon has been linked to the illustrious military exploits of the Vekians' mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. A faint trace of red can be seen on the surface of this sword, which is the blood rust formed by blood invading the surface of the sword.

"Come back, Duke Ctusun, we are here to negotiate! Not to fight!"

The third prince Harris who was sitting in the seat snorted. Compared to the Duke of Ketuson, his face looked calm. He was also very indignant at the rudeness of the Vecians, but what could be done? The successive defeats of the Kingdom's main forces have caused the Salanders to lose the confidence to speak harshly at this negotiation table.

Kyoto takes this negotiation very seriously. The invasion of Kyoto by Wikiia troops has already caused panic. The previous failure and the loss of large areas of territory made the Sultan of Salander Kyoto suddenly find that he was forced to perish overnight. This was a serious blow to the stubborn and ill-tempered Sultan, who was said to have shown signs of mental disorder. Chang Chi let out a shrill scream at night, shrouding the entire palace in misery and desolation.

The affairs of Kyoto are now mainly managed by several princes. Among them, the eldest prince is in charge of the military, the second prince is in charge of government affairs, the third prince is in charge of foreign affairs, and the fourth prince, who has always been ignored, is responsible for the defense inspection of Kyoto. In fact, everyone can see Come on, is this just a disguised form of excluding dissidents and a defense inspection? What kind of business is this!

Feeling the bad attitude of the Vekia army, the third prince Harris looked hesitantly at Sky Priest Parstina, who was sitting peacefully in a white dress, and a girl wearing red clothes next to her, with a pretty and round face. , tall and graceful, with a shrewd and capable temperament all over her body. She is the maid accompanying Parstina, the sky priest, Red Moon.

"Ahem, respected Priest Parszina, look at the current situation..." Third Prince Harris was as calm as ever, hesitating to speak.

Naturally, the third prince in charge of foreign affairs was the chief representative in this negotiation with the disciples of Vikia, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Ketuson, was his deputy. In addition to more than a dozen accompanying attendants, the most eye-catching ones were only two people.

The sky offers sacrifices to Palstina and her maid Red Moon. Who doesn’t know that the current leader of the Northern Army and the staunch ally of the Vecians, Grand Duchess Nile is Palstina’s favorite disciple, and Red Moon is They are the most trusted friends of Grand Duchess Nile. If they are willing to mediate, this apprenticeship agreement will have a high chance of success!

There is only one goal this time, to shake hands with the Wekia army and win over as much of the previously lost central region as possible. As for the northern region that has been declared separated from Salander and cannot be controlled, it is unthinkable!

When he came just now, he came along the legendary free ride route. He was shocked by the huge camps of the Vecian army along the way.

The camp that stretches for more than ten miles is terrifying just thinking about it. According to the information he received, the number of troops that Wikiya besieged Kyoto this time reached more than 60,000, with more than 300 siege equipment of various sizes. Not counting the battleship group that can cruise for reinforcements at any time, in the face of such a powerful force, Salander's army, which is completely pieced together, can only become a target for slaughter.
