Realm of Power

nbsp; On July 11, when the Rohde local army in the south was undergoing an earthquake-like assembly, in the North Sea under the vast ice, the news that the empire had been waiting for finally came.

In the early morning, the personal servant cautiously woke up the sleeping Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Austin, Thrance. "Lord Thrance, the palace has held an emergency meeting."

The servant's hurried shouting made Thrance, who was enjoying the warm bed, very unhappy. He got up from the bed with a curse, put on his clothes, and opened the door of his home. There, there was a bright fire and shadows everywhere. are heavily armed austin soldiers

"What's going on?" Thrance's mind suddenly crossed. The scene in front of him made him feel very bad. The soldiers running around with torches in their hands rushed into the mansion of a nobleman opposite like wolves and tigers. , there was soon a burst of screams and the sound of sharp weapons being cut into the body. Thrance knew the owner of that mansion, a man named Bo Liang.

A tall and burly Austin officer quickly came up to him, saluted him, and said, "Sorry to disturb you, sir. We are following the orders of the palace to clean up the rebels."

"Rebellion?" This word made Thrance take a breath of air, and said with a somewhat incredulous look, "You mean someone rebelled in Austin City?"

"It's not the city of Austin, it's Willandra," the officer said with a serious look. "Just one day ago, a fleet from Willandra suddenly attacked our fleet. Although the attack was short-lived, because Lack of preparation we had 4 galleons despicable The snipers burned it down. This morning, the Ministry of Military Affairs also received intelligence from Willandra. Austin Carlos, the lord of Willandra, rebelliously announced yesterday that he was the master of Austin and would Soon he will lead the fleet north to attack the city of Austin."

"How could this happen?" Thrance whispered with a silent expression. This is no wonder that the Marquis de Beaulieu opposite was killed, because the Marquis de Beaulieu was once one of Austin Carlos's friends. At that time, Austin When Carlos was besieged by the enemy, he once strongly advocated sending rescuers. Although he was rejected by His Majesty the King in the end, most people believed that he and Austin Carlos were on the same side.

"Forget it, let's go to the palace." Stepping onto the reindeer carriage brought by the servants, Thrance looked at the Burning Mansion with a complicated look and then said to the driver in front of him,

The long dark streets along the way were filled with soldiers holding torches, breaking into people's houses in the name of searching for traitors. As one of the most famous generals in the kingdom, Austin Carlos, the men he once led were also the focus of this search. Subject, at the corner of a street, Thrance saw a dozen headless corpses lying in a pool of blood. This bloody scene made him frown slightly.

"Woo!" The sound of dogs barking came from the dark streets all around, but it soon turned into a dead silence. There were only the footsteps of troops moving back and forth on the streets. The arrival of this rebellion shrouded the entire city of Austin. in a bloody storm

The palace in the main city of Austin is not big. This is a land frozen for thousands of years, and wood is extremely scarce. Therefore, the entire palace is built with huge stones. These stones were collected from the mountains outside the city. After experiencing 30 years in the making,

The light of the army blocking the road at the front gate of the palace reflected on the Mia marble columns, dyeing the entire column with a scarlet color. Approaching this majestic building, among the cold and gorgeous column decorations, Silence It seems like I smell a smell of killing and blood

Thrance took a long breath. For some reason, he always felt very uncomfortable every time he came to the palace. This feeling was especially obvious tonight.

Soldiers holding torches stood on both sides of the entire corridor. The guards of the palace today were much tighter than usual. On the long corridor between the palace entrance and the meeting hall, there were palace soldiers holding sharp weapons standing guard, looking grim. , gloomy and quiet, with only the sound of my own heavy footsteps echoing, the flickering firelight, and the shadows. This feeling makes people shudder.

At the end of the corridor of the palace, two Austin guards were standing with torches. On the left side of the door of the chamber, Duke Langla, the Austin minister, was waiting at the door.

Seeing Thrance's arrival, the flickering light shone on the Duke's granite-like dull face, and on the two rows of Guardsmen beside his expressionless face, holding spears in one hand and torches in the other, with stern faces. The Duke looked anxious and said, "As long as you are here, His Majesty is preparing to mobilize the fleet south, you must stop him."

"The fleet is going south?" Thrance looked around and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation? Is it bad?"

"It's very bad." Duke Langla, the Minister of Military Affairs, responded uglyly. "Hearing the rebellion of Austin Carlos, His Majesty was furious and immediately asked the fleet to go south along the coast. Within three days, the rebel nest Weiland was wiped out in one fell swoop. pull,

But I didn't agree. I knew Austin Carlos well. If I wasn't sure, he would never have attacked the fleet so blatantly, and then so impatiently raised the flag of rebellion.

Moreover, although his raid the day before yesterday seemed very violent, it did not cause us much damage. Under such circumstances, if he continues to raise the flag of rebellion, I am afraid that he may have some conspiracy, but His Majesty will not listen and will force me to Kicked out"

"What, you actually opposed His Majesty's decision in front of so many people?" Silence glanced at Lang La in surprise,

He asked disdainfully, "Sometimes I really don't know how you can be the Minister of Military Affairs. You are so stupid. You have been in this position for half a year. Don't you know that His Majesty is a face-loving person?

The rebellious flag of Willandra City was like a loud slap on His Majesty's face. You said that His Majesty should hold back. How could this be possible?"

"But sending troops is undoubtedly a trap," Langla retorted unwillingly. At this time, the two heard a loud cheer suddenly coming from the door of the conference hall.

The door of the parliament hall was opened from the inside, and Austin King Austin Firru strode out from inside. He glanced at Langla standing at the door,

and hummed in a low voice, "Don't think that without your consent, the upper elders will not agree to send troops. I have convinced the elders. The fleet will set out at noon tomorrow to fight against the rebellion." To be continued)
