Realm of Power

In the dark night, a group of dark figures cautiously touched the wall of the nearby Wading City.

I saw that there were only a dozen or so sparse defenders on the city wall that used to be heavily guarded. They were sitting in groups in the east and west chatting by the fire. Occasionally, there were a few laughter and curses with country slang.

The busyness of the past few days has made most of the soldiers tired, holding their weapons and leaning against the corners of the city wall to take a nap. The city wall seemed extremely quiet. There were no patrols arranged tonight.

The shadows looked at the sparse soldiers on the city wall, and crouched along the dark edge at the foot of the city wall.

He reached the city gate effortlessly and cautiously took a look.

Except for two blazing torches, there was not even a single gatekeeper in the dark city gate passage.

"It's weird, what happened to these Samoers? Why don't they even have a single defender?"

A dark figure muttered to himself, but was pushed hard by the person following him, almost rolling to the ground with a cry. The dark figure turned around and whispered angrily.

"What are you doing? Do you want to kill everyone? If those Samoers find out, no one will survive!"

The person behind was even more tempered than the black shadow and retorted

"What are you doing! Do you doubt my news? I have already inquired about it. Tonight the Samoers are not under martial law. It is our best chance to escape. You, a mother-in-law, really want to harm me. Damn it for everyone! It will be dawn in an hour, and everyone will die here! If you don’t dare to go ahead, I will lead everyone.”

The black shadow behind him angrily walked into the city gate passage with burning torches first, followed by a large group of people, as many as three hundred people, lined up in two rows, huddled in the corner of the dark city wall and slowly walked toward the city gate. Moves like a slow squirming black snake

The firelight at the entrance to the city gate illuminated the face of the first black figure who walked in. He was a slightly pale middle-aged man. He looked at the city gate nervously, and finally waved to the back with relief. All of them were wearing noble clothes. of people pouring in

This middle-aged man is Baron Situhan, who has been missing for many days, the vice president of the Business Alliance, and the only nobleman who did not attend the banquet on the night of blood rain. He was finally arrested at home.

Two days ago, an uninvited guest came to the cell where Baron Situhan was held, a naive fat man. The two chatted secretly in the cell until midnight. Then the mysterious fat man left, and Baron Situhan was secretly released and disappeared outside. in the dark night

Immediately afterwards, the city's wanted notices for Baron Duhan, who had slipped through the net, were hung all over the streets and alleys of Zivadin City. The Samoan military offered a high price of 1,000 gold coins for this.

This is a large bounty. The underground forces in the entire Zivadin City have become active. Whether you can get the reward is one thing. The most important thing is to show your goodwill to the Samoan army stationed in Zivadin City.

Otherwise, if one day the Samoan army doesn't like him, it will be as easy as crushing an ant to kill him.

This is a great opportunity, and no one is willing to give it away.

In order to seize this opportunity to please the Samoan military, fierce gang fights even broke out in some areas of the city.

Everyone thought that poor Baron Studhan was doomed.

But one day later, everyone discovered that the vice-president of the Business Alliance, who used to have a false name in the past, disappeared out of thin air. The underground forces who claimed to be able to find anything from Zhivadin City were also blind this time.

Sofia, the boss of the Evil Eye, one of the largest underground forces in Zhivadin City, angrily kicked the frightened little boss lying in front of him.

"What's the use of you little bitches! Don't you show off your abilities on weekdays? Now you can't even find a down-and-out noble, so what's the use of raising you trash!"

Last night, the Lord's Mansion of Zhivadin City

The fat man sat peacefully in his seat and raised the pine cone wine in his hand with a slightly drunk face. The fragrance of the pine cones made the fat man intoxicated.

"Are you really going to hand over the entire business alliance to me?"

Baron Situhan, who was making trouble all over the city, was sitting opposite the fat man. He stepped out of the prison gate last night and stepped onto the carriage of the Samoan army.

"It's not that I'm willing, but that I have no choice! Except for you, not many nobles in the entire Business Alliance can survive! I need the Zhivadin Business Alliance to continue to exist, not just dissipate!"

The fat man squinted his drunken eyes, holding a goblet filled with red pine cone wine between his fingers. Through the light, the inside was as red as blood.

"You have arrested so many nobles from the Business Alliance. Aren't you afraid that one day they will turn against you?"

Baron Situ Han looked at the fat man hesitantly.

“The Business Alliance is a very good organization with an extremely extensive business network.

It is also famous throughout the South. Such a huge advantageous business system, why should I destroy it? It only needs certain direction control, and it can bring me huge benefits.

Its huge energy may be more effective than a sword in many cases.

Is the city of Zhivadin without a commercial alliance still a commercial city Zhivadin?

As for those nobles, haha! . . . . . .

The fat man did not continue speaking, but the chill at the end of his words was clearly evident, and Baron Situhan did not dare to speak any more.

Those who know the most often die the fastest.

Baron Situhan already understood this truth when he was expelled from Kyoto by his family.

The fat man looked at the shocked Baron Situhan in front of him. He knew that what he just said had frightened the nobles of the business alliance, so he comforted him.

"I am the leader of the Samoer army, but I am also the city lord of Zhivadin City. I don't want my Zhivadin City to stop being prosperous.

On the contrary, I hope it can become the commercial center of the entire kingdom, and even the entire continent. "

Baron Si Duhan did not expect that Fatty would have such a favorable impression of the Business Alliance in his heart. Especially the Fatty's last words made Si Duhan extremely excited.

The fat man took a sip of the blood-colored pine cone in the glass and wrote lightly

"What I want you to do is very simple. Not only will there be no loss for you, but it will also bring you great glory. This glory will be your weight to take charge of the business alliance again. With this glory, any attempt Any opponent who competes with you to snatch the president of the Business Alliance will be vulnerable! The entire network of the Business Alliance will obey you unconditionally."

"My lord, what do you need me to do?"

Baron Situhan asked doubtfully,

If he hadn't been sitting in front of him with the notorious Fatty Samoer, Baron Situhan would have thought that he was just farting.

As the vice president of the Business Alliance, no one knows the internal situation of the Business Alliance better than Baron Situhan. The Business Alliance not only has a huge business network that spreads throughout the south, but also has the most professional business talents.

They are distributed in various cities in the south. They are agents trained by various families in the city.

If Zhivadin is the head who directs the operation, they are the hands, feet and limbs that put things into effect.

The eradication of the Zivadin nobles does not mean the eradication of the entire business alliance. Each big family also has agents in other cities. When the family is in trouble, they will replace the family and become the new nobles.

Unless the Fat Man occupies the entire south, eradicating the business alliance will be empty talk. Even if he is promoted as an agent, he will not be able to convince the agents in other cities. There is only one final result.

Business alliances fell apart and business connections in various cities were severed.

The fat man looked at the confused Baron Situhan in front of him, shrugged, stood up and waved to the guards outside.

A skinny gangster-looking man was brought in by the guards.

The fat man pointed at the gangster and said

"Baron Stuart, don't be so impatient. Please allow me to introduce you. This man is the head of the Zivadin Thieves Alliance. He will be your assistant.

Tonight, he will help you rob the prison, and you will leave the city of Zivadin with all the nobles who escaped from the prison. I believe that this huge honor will qualify you to become the controller of the future business alliance! "

"What? Jie, Jie!"

Baron Situhan was completely shocked and almost jumped up in anger.

Is this fat guy's head full of mush?

It's rare that we don't know how big an earthquake these nobles who had their homes confiscated, confiscated property, and almost beheaded by the Samoers would cause once they left Zivadin City?

All the southern nobles will raise their banners to resist the Satsuma army that abuses the nobles.

All merchants will no longer provide weapons to Samour

Samour will become the public enemy of the entire south, and even the entire kingdom,

"Don't worry, you know if you follow my plan, I guarantee that you will become the new president of the Business Alliance. You have nothing to lose by doing this, so what do you have to worry about?"

The fat man looked at Baron Situhan with his mouth wide open and said with a smile

"Baron Situhan, we'd better leave quickly, otherwise it will be dawn!"

Lidastov, who was following Stuchan, pushed Baron Stuthan who was still standing in a daze at the gate of the city with his hand, waking him up from his memories.

"Where are we going to escape?"

The nobles looked at the sky that was about to light up in the distance, and looked back at the city wall of Zivadin in the distance. Excited like a bird that has just escaped from its cage

But which direction to escape became a problem.

Once the Samor people find out that nobles have escaped from prison, they will definitely send out troops to pursue them. Lords without certain strength will not dare to take in these nobles.

"Along this mountain road, you can reach Djerbo Fort in the west! The Marquis of Issahka there once promised me that as soon as he received the news that Zhivadin was suppressed, he would immediately lead his troops south and give us a Fair!"

Lidastov confidently pointed to the hills in the distance to the west.

"Yes, the Marquis of Issaheka is a descendant of the Issa family, who was known as the last important minister a hundred years ago. He has a powerful Golden Fleece Knights under his command. I believe he will be able to beat the dead fat man of Samour. The ground is full of teeth!”

Lidastov was a well-known wise man among the nobility, and his suggestions were quickly echoed by everyone.

Soon, hundreds of nobles were like a swarm of panicked rats, swarming towards the hills to the west.

Baron Situhan looked at Lidastov, who was extremely excited just now, with a strange expression. Those words just now seemed to be his own lines.

While he was in a daze, Lidastov came over to him like a ghost, took Baron Studhan's hand, and whispered:

"Waiting to die here, why don't we leave! Our mission is completed, the rest is up to that shameless fat man Samoer. I hope those idiots still have a chance to see the sunrise tomorrow!"

Baron Stukhan shuddered in excitement at Lidastov's words.

"It turns out that I am not fighting alone! If I didn't act according to the script..."

Baron Situhan didn't dare to think about it any more! Looking at the nobles who had disappeared into the darkness in the distance, I could only pray secretly

"You run slower. If you run slower, you might have a chance to survive!"
