Realm of Power

629 Angry Blood (1)

After receiving the information from Sokutus Stellan, the fat man closed the report in his hand a little absent-mindedly. This was a small manor outside the city of Behatok. The clear-colored walls were covered with bright little flowers.

If you stay in the beautiful island country of Salander for a long time, you will find that the most beautiful place is not the town, but the plain scenery outside the town. The central counties are the most influential areas of the Sky Temple. Because it is close to Kyoto, The dense farms and fields are also relatively well preserved. A river passes through the front of the manor, winding eastward to the distant horizon. Golden light and shadow float on the great plain.

The entire plain is like a map, with pastures and gardens, and a network of crisscrossing ditches and rivers. It is already May, and the sun in the sky is beginning to get a little hot. The hot and dim sun, the flowers of violets, hyacinths, and narcissus have already begun to bloom. Withered, there are still some scattered flowers in the dark fields. Pedestrians passing by randomly fold a few flowers and hide them in the baskets in their hands. The breeze blows in from the window carrying the scent of weeds and mint.

In the distance, a group of Vekia's black-armored cavalry was driving towards here like drifting clouds from the distant sky. Soon, the familiar sound of Hu Keqili's riding boots came from the stairs. He was holding a gun in his hand. An encrypted report, he hurriedly came in from the door, stood up straight and performed a military salute

"Your Excellency, everything has been investigated clearly. As expected by your Excellency, the attitude of the Salander Northern Army towards our Wikiya has changed somewhat. They have formed an alliance for Wikiya. Except for most of the southern nobles, there are some unknown The northern nobles involved in current affairs are also involved. Among them, eight northern lords, led by the Northern Pineway family, are secretly planning to evade the authority of Grand Duchess Nile, arguing that this opportunity should be used to achieve true northern autonomy."

"The Enwy Family"

The fat man's face was stunned for a moment. He still had some impression of this family. At the first Northern Alliance Conference, a junior of the Envi family dared to make fun of a local lord. This shows how arrogant this family is.

They had a good relationship with the Wikiya Business Association, but in the subsequent competition for the first export port in the northwest, they were surpassed by Legane, who had always looked down upon him. He had always been resentful of Wikiya, and had many private discussions with other northwest lords. Conspiracy in tandem to vaguely surpass Nilai and secretly control the momentum of the Northern Alliance,

But so what? The fat man smiled disdainfully. In his eyes, the Northern Alliance was just a face-saving project. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to such a short-sighted guy who jumped up and down. But now If you dare to jump out like this, you can only say that the other party will live to the end. In the face of absolute strength, any ghostly tricks are just a joke.

The Northern War seemed to have lasted only a month, but it took more than half a year to set up the situation and create the illusion that the Kyoto army was vulnerable. In reality, the fat man still recognized the Salander Mamunuk Knights. Brave, these hot-blooded and young guys are very suitable to be the vanguard of some fortified battles. If the opponent was replaced by the chaotic and disorderly Northern Army, the Mamunuk knights of Kyoto would have fought all the way to the north.

"Immediately send someone to investigate. Those domestic business associations have contact with them. I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

The fat man glanced at the report, frowned for a while, and then placed the report heavily on the table. His cold tone was a bit murderous, "This matter can be handed over to Lidastov from the Kingdom's Supervision Department. Let him secretly retrieve the trade records related to the Envi family from the files of the Business Alliance. He is the honorary deacon of the Business Alliance. It is his duty to pay attention to the flow of trade. He will not alert the snake if he comes forward."

"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that the Envi family's seizure of power was instigated by a businessman from Vikia?" Hu Keqili's face was stunned, and then he felt a chill on his back. The name Lidastov meant a lot to everyone. It is relatively unfamiliar to most people, but to the insiders of the Business Alliance, it is a shadow that hangs over the hearts of all businessmen.

His position is not high, but he is the only one who is directly responsible for the Grand Duke of Falcon and oversees smuggling affairs. He comes from Hertha, the largest smuggling organization, and is very familiar with the various tricks of smuggling. Smugglers hear his name Just like a mouse hears a cat,

He leads the darkest and most mysterious team of the Ministry of Supervision, the "Dark Judges". Many times, this mysterious team is kept taboo within the Ministry of Supervision.

Hearing that the Grand Duke appointed Lidastov to be in charge, Hukoqili knew that he was afraid that another group of people would be killed this time.

Businessmen's interference in military affairs has always been the Grand Duke's biggest taboo. This time, I don't know which bold guy actually tried to get involved in such a major matter as the kingdom's decision-making. I didn't think so before. Now that I think about it, if Saran If the German war continues to extend, a large number of people will indeed benefit from this war.

The volume of weapons transactions alone has skyrocketed nearly five times in more than a month of fighting, and there are countless transactions involving previous noble property. In other words, it is an extremely abominable thing that "makes it difficult for the country to make money"

"Haha, without anyone's support, how can the Enwei family gather such a huge force?"

The fat man pointed at the report on the table with a sneer, and looked at the bright scenery outside the window. "The last time it was confirmed that Laige Port was the designated port in the Northwest Sea, there was a lot of controversy within the business alliance, but it was all dismissed by the military as a strategic I suppressed the confidential reply. I knew that the Envi family had an unusual relationship with some people at the top of the Business Alliance. I told Lidastov that I would grant immunity to supervision and I would use all means to find out who it is, no matter who it is. No tolerance”

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Hu Keqili's sweat-covered forehead quickly lowered his head. From the fat man's tone, he could feel the murderous intention in the Grand Duke's heart, just like the turbulent undercurrent flowing under the ice floe, which might break through the thin ice at any time. , dragging those unknown unlucky people into the endless cold hell

It was late at night, and most of the neighborhoods in Hukas Port in the south were quiet, with only people returning from the night in a hurry. However, in the new northern district, about three or four kilometers away from the port, the rough streets were still very lively.

This is a new area that was expanded to expand trade. The buildings all look very new and tall. There are dense signboards everywhere on both sides of the street. There are also many beautiful girls there who are showing off their charms and looking at everyone who passes by. Men perform the most lethal sexual acts to drum up business for themselves.

This is the busiest place in Port Jukas at night. Only at night will it become so prosperous and crowded with people. The Duke's Palace of Kia has given the harbor area free political and economic policies, even in the local area. The formulation of the law also gave them full freedom. While it brought a lot of wealth and rapid economic development, it also brought some people spiritual emptiness and life degradation.

This area only prospered rapidly after the Visa War. In order to meet the needs of a large number of sea-going ships, a number of brand-new shipyards were built here, and work was started day and night to build ships, including military warships and civilian transport ships. Therefore, it attracted A large number of migrant workers have poured in here. Most of these workers come from the central or northwest regions of Yewekia, and even recently there are many from the northern district of Kugit.

Salaries in shipyards are good. The workers' lives are monotonous, and most of them are young and vigorous adults, which inevitably boosts the business here.

Suddenly it started to rain, and people on the street rushed to the sides to take shelter from the rain, which greatly facilitated the work of those professional women. Not only could they use their words, but they could also use their hands to pull and pull the men they were interested in.

No one who passed by could escape their harassment, so many men who were not determined enough quietly disappeared into the room next to them with warm laughter. However, there were also a few men whose arrival made everyone The women standing on the street looked at them with envy, but did not make any move.

In fact, from the outside, these three men walking with their heads lowered one after another do not seem to be very special. Apart from wearing a somewhat eye-catching black suit, no one thinks that there is anything special about them from a distance, but Once close to them, many people will feel as if they have a nervous and uneasy feeling, and will involuntarily get out of the way.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were more pedestrians on both sides of the street. Some areas were even overcrowded and impassable. A man turned around and walked into a restaurant.

This is a large-scale restaurant with a very simple decoration and very popular prices. There are many customers in the restaurant, most of them are shipyard workers in uniform. Opposite the restaurant is the largest dock in the Port of Hukas. Dockyard, Duke of Cleland Dockyard.

This shipyard was named after the Duke of Cleland, the husband of the former lord, the Marquess of Bell. After the initial period of painful reforms, many nobles who received compensation chose to develop into industry. The Duke's widow, the Marquis of Bell, was in Hu Cass Port has three large shipyards. Next to the Duke of Cleland Shipyard, there is a shipyard called Marquis Gerald. The two shipyards combined have more than 400 workers.

Standing at the door of the restaurant, you can even vaguely see the endless flow of materials and people in the shipyard. It is very busy. The sailboats under construction are like a forest of masts, and it is a bustling scene.

Nowadays, various industries require a large number of ships, so every shipyard is operating at full capacity and starting production 24 hours a day. Here is no exception. The workers work in three shifts and work continuously. Soon it was time for workers to take shifts again, and many shipyard workers tried to have a late-night snack here before spending a hard night.

The man in black clothes walked into the restaurant without attracting anyone's attention. This kind of dress is really seen too much in the Hukas area. Whether it is the top people or the dark society, they all like this kind of dress.

Even the waiters in the store just smiled and said hello, and then went to do other things. They were obviously not here to eat here, and they were probably here to see their boss. Sure enough, the boss was quickly called down.

"Lord Bertanker, you are well."

From behind the two leading men in black, a middle-aged man in a trench coat came out, patted the boss on the shoulder affectionately, and hugged him affectionately.

But the boss's face turned a little pale. He quickly wanted to retreat, but the way back was blocked by two other men in black. . ..
