Realm of Power

794 Blood of Winter (3)

The cold winter wind blows through the wilderness of southern Palaven. In the morning mist, the low-hanging grass stems are all covered with a layer of white frost, like a huge white velvet blanket, decorating the entire land in white. The vast scene was relatively small at this time. Early in the morning, the sun has not yet risen from the distant horizon, leaving only a beautiful long red thread on the distant horizon, like a simple and yet simple layer embroidered on the huge carpet of heaven and earth. It can also be called an exquisite rug edge.

The gate of Palaven City slowly opened. Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, a group of black-armored cavalry with falcon emblems on their armor came out of the gate of Palaven City with a solemn expression. The flying horse hooves struck. On the stone road that has been silent for thousands of years in Palaven, the fluffy war horses' manes were shiny and fluttering in the wind. The hooves of hundreds of cavalry stepped onto the main passage a hundred meters away from the city gate.

"Huh!" The cold wind blowing in from the city gate rolled up the red velvet cloak behind the cavalry, like a large ball of red flames, suddenly exploded in the air, and more horses roared out from behind, like a red iron stream. ,

These cavalrymen wear uniform black armor and peaked helmets with iron cladding on their heads. This is an iron stream that can freeze the air. The light shining on these cavalrymen seems to be affected by the black armor on their bodies. absorbed,

"Salute!" Following the command of the city guard officer, "Pah!" Thousands of soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate stood up straight in uniform, placing their right hands on their left chests, expressing envy, admiration and worship. He stared at the group of black-armored cavalry who were riding towards them.

Anyone who is a soldier in the Falcon Army knows that in the Falcon Army, apart from the general-level commanders, the only people in the Falcon Army who are qualified to wear red cloaks are the Vecian Guards known as Falcon Claws. So many, proving that this cavalry is the legendary personal guard cavalry of His Majesty the Falcon.

This is a heroic army surrounded by countless haloes of glory. Those who can be selected are all the best among the best in the Falcon Army. They are either agile military masters or have climbed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in previous bloody battles. A ruthless character comes out

Most of the mid-level officers of the Falcon Army come from this unit, which has become a benchmark for measuring an officer's ability. The generals who come out of the Guards can be said to be the best in the Falcon Army because of their , are all deeply labeled as His Majesty the Falcon. It can be said without politeness that these are His Majesty the Falcon’s confidants and direct descendants, and are the backbone that supports the entire Falcon Iron Army.

"Your Excellency must be the commander of the Bo'an Banner in charge of the defense of the east gate!"

The commander of the black-armored cavalry who led the team was a young man with a scar on his face, because the scar almost dragged from the corner of his mouth to behind his ears, making his smile look more ferocious.

On the left side of the city gate, he sat in front of a serious-looking middle-aged officer, got off his horse, handed the document in his hand to the middle-aged officer in front of him, and said in a solemn voice

"This is a defense order signed by His Majesty Falcon himself. Until the new order arrives, I will temporarily take over the defense here! Now you need to gather all the soldiers and add a circle of sentries around the outside of this street. ! "

The middle-aged officer known as Boan took the order handed over with a solemn expression. After carefully identifying it for a while, he said with an embarrassed expression, "There is nothing wrong with the order. It is natural to follow your command, but We are afraid that it will be difficult to gather them all, because it is a shift system, so there are only half of the soldiers here, and half of them are in the military camp. It will take some time to gather them all!"

"Half of them?" The commander of the black armored cavalry glanced around. There were about a thousand soldiers here. As a local flag regiment to assist in defense, the establishment of 2,000 people was normal. He waved his hand. , said, "Just half, we only have half an hour. Make arrangements immediately and send people to block both sides of the street."

"I don't know, sir, what do you want...?" the leader of the Bo'an Banner asked with some confusion. Regarding the question of the leader of the Bo'an Banner, the Guards Commander who led the team just smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I am the Guards Cavalry. First Banner Captain Varoson, you and I are just equals, so there is no need to be called adults. Blocking the streets is an order from above. You and I only have the power to execute it. As for why, I don’t know.”

Varoson shrugged his shoulders regretfully and continued, "The order I received is that this street must be absolutely safe from 6 to 7 in the morning! You also know that the city has not been very peaceful recently. I even heard that some hungry people looted property! Your Majesty, Falcon, there is no need for such a situation to happen!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Although Varosen has stated that the two of them are of the same rank, it is impossible for Boan, who is a member of the local flag regiment, to be on the same level as Varosen, who is His Majesty's personal guard.

"You should call me Varosen! You call yourself your subordinate, and I really can't bear it!" Varosen frowned slightly in displeasure, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty dislikes his own guards the most. Above other officers of the same rank, instead of respecting me, you may be harming me by calling me this!"

‘Okay, Lord Varosen! I'll make arrangements right away. "Boan responded with an uneasy expression, then turned around and whispered a few instructions to the officers behind him. The soldiers who were originally lined up on both sides of the street quickly moved to the periphery to control the commanding heights and entrances in all directions.

Some passers-by who got up early were isolated or asked to go out through other city gates. Some curious people wanted to take a look inside, but because of the obstruction of the houses on both sides of the street, all they could see were some soldiers standing solemnly. , and the corners that blocked their sight. Unless their sight could turn, no one would know what was going on.

The spacious street fell silent for an instant, with only the howling cold wind blowing up the dust on the ground and the whistling of fallen leaves, which seemed a bit solemn. After waiting for more than ten minutes, an unmarked black carriage slowly appeared on the street. At the corner of the corner, ten Guards Cavalrymen with white thorn flowers on their chests walked in the front, followed by a group of about a hundred red-cloaked Guards Cavalry.

"It's His Majesty Falcon's carriage!"

The city guard soldiers who were standing on both sides just now started to stir. Although there was no sign on the carriage door, the owner of the carriage that could be personally guarded by ten Falcon Guards captains was also someone who could possess such an identity. There is only one in the entire Falcon Dynasty, and that is the majestic Falcon

"Long live, long live His Majesty the Falcon!"

I don’t know who shouted the first sentence, and then everyone shouted,

"Long live His Majesty the Falcon"

The overwhelming shouts almost woke up half of the Palawan. When some isolated passers-by heard such sounds, their faces became a little excited, and they also cheered.

◇∷; On this solemn and cold morning, the Vekia Falcon finally entered Palaven, the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

Everyone feels that with the arrival of this king, who is known for his iron-blooded methods, the chaotic situation in the city should be much calmer. At least, on the glorious crown of the mainland's number one general, there is also the title of the mainland's number one businessman. ,

If it were on the battlefield, some people might say that the rise of the Falcon Dynasty was entirely due to His Majesty's incredible fortune. Almost any outstanding general, whoever encountered him would be unlucky, it would be the legendary God of War who encountered him. This guy will also fall from the top of the clouds

In terms of economic development, even the most demanding guy will be embarrassed and have nothing to say. There is no need for any compliments or icing on the cake. Wikidia's economic strength is obvious to all. In just a few years, Wikidia, which is biased towards the southwest, has Asia has actually achieved the great cause of commercial unification,

His Majesty almost overturned the trajectory of civilization based on warriors and force for thousands of years, and created a commercial civilization model based on merchants.

And in just a few years, it expanded into an unimaginably huge root system, from Salander Island in the south to the vast grasslands in the north, from the snow-capped mountains of Vikia to the wild mountains of Dorok, from The trade lines extending from the center of the Falcon Dynasty have firmly controlled the lifeblood of the continent.

But not everyone is excited about this. For example, the commander of the Persian flag, his current expression can be described as wonderful. The purpose of His Majesty Falcon blocking the streets is naturally to block the news coming into the city, but in such a situation Come on, I'm afraid it won't take more than a morning for the whole Palavon to know that His Majesty Falcon has come to Palabon in person!

"Lord Varosen, this... this is definitely an accident!"

The face of the Persian flag leader is now more bitter than Huanglian. If he can find the first person to cheer now, he is even willing to duel with him to prevent him from speaking out. But among so many cheers, who can tell the difference? Woolen cloth?

Compared with the look on the face of Persia, the commander of the flag regiment, who was almost crying, the Guards officer Varosen next to him seemed much calmer. From a distance of more than ten meters, he walked toward the eight Guardsmen marching in front of the carriage. The elders bowed and saluted,

The moment he bent down, no one noticed a sly smile on the corner of his mouth with a scar. No one would know that what the Guards officer was thinking was "Very good, if It would be better to be more enthusiastic! "

At the same moment, at the port of Fedos in Eberron County, 3 hundred miles away from Palavon,

The fat man watched as the fleet escorting Turrit Colleen back home slowly set sail from the port. The bow of the ship rippled on the water floating in white mist, and finally slowly disappeared at the light blue edge where the river bank merged with the sky and earth. middle,

The fat man's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't come back to his senses for more than ten minutes. It wasn't until Mao Mo Naqing called him softly from behind that his pupils gained a focus, and he turned around and asked, " Has the journey into the city begun? "

"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that in less than three days, the entire continent will know that you are in Palaven!" Mao Monaqing stood behind her in a plain and elegant long dress, with white mist curling around her, like a fairy,

"That means that if I appear at the business alliance's executive meeting in four days, the looks on the faces of those poachers will be very exciting!" The fat man tilted his head childishly, only the hair on her back was visible. Mona Qing could see from the fat man's naive expression that a monstrous anger was spreading.
