Realm of Power

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't want the money, but you still owe me." The fat man weighed the money bag in his hand, and like a cunning businessman, he looked at the girl with an absolutely cunning look.

"What else do I owe you?" The girl's stubborn and arrogant face was stunned for a moment.

The fat man laughed and said, "You still owe me a life. I lent you this money. Even if you don't want it, you should give it back to me now. But I didn't kill you. You owe me a life. This is yours." How are you going to pay me back?"

The girl suddenly became speechless. This damn fat man is such a rogue.

"Actually, you're pretty good, but your figure is a bit thin..." The fat man blinked his eyes, looked at the girl up and down with a rogue expression, and made a disdainful expression.

Since he knew that this was a pure Golid, there was no possibility of letting him go, but using force would go against the principles. In the end, the fat man decided to take a rogue approach.

This woman's biggest weakness is her arrogance. She can dare to face a sharp sword to rebuke an officer, and she is in tatters, has no food to eat, and still refuses her own mercy. She must be quite arrogant in her heart.

For such people, threats of force and coercion by power are meaningless. Only by firmly holding the tail of the other party's arrogance can the other party be truly willing to be used.

"You are shameless"

Her girlish lips trembled, her face turned red with frustration, and her beautiful eyes looked at the fat man. She stood there and stamped her feet, leaving a delicate footprint on the ground. Her delicate expression was like a red apple. , people can’t help but want to take a bite on the upturned little nose,

"Haha, I just made a joke." The fat man laughed. Although the girl was very angry, she didn't turn around and leave immediately, which proved that the fat man's strategy was successful. "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a real Golid man, so I am a little curious."

The fat man asked Konoe to bring a light stirrup from the side and put it next to the girl, and made a gesture to the girl to sit down. By the campfire, he said with a sincere look on his face

"Sit down and let's chat. Since you call yourself a Dorok, you shouldn't refuse the curiosity of an outsider."

"What do you want to know?" It seemed that the fat man's Dorok words touched the sadness in her heart. The girl's eyes suddenly turned red. She hesitated and finally sat down on the saddle on the ground.

The fat man used the wooden stick in his hand to poke the fire in front of him and asked curiously, "Why are you here? As far as I know, the Golid people's living area is not nearby. They are far away from their homeland and have left their hometown. You and your grandfather How did you end up wandering here?"

"this....."

The girl's beautiful eyes flickered, just staring blankly at the red sparks scattered by the night wind, her breathing became heavy and her lips opened. but made no sound,

"If I guess correctly, you are an exile with a sinner's tattoo."

The fat man took a deep breath. Decided to break this layer of window paper "Although you concealed it very well and once specially modified the hair at the back, in the eyes of those with keen eyes, this still revealed the real secret."

"You saw it." The girl's pupils expanded, her petite body trembled, and her fair and beautiful neck subconsciously shrank back, as if the fat man had revealed some secret.

"No, I guessed"

The fat man shook his head. He couldn't bear to say that he saw it when the girl's hair was spread out with a knife by the Guards officer. Such worry was really too cruel for a girl. The sinner lines imprinted on the skin can never be removed, which is enough to make a beauty-loving woman suffer from low self-esteem for a lifetime.

The fat man pretended to be confused and said, "I heard that some tribes in Dorok will mark the exiled sinners. Your sinner mark should be on the back of your neck. It is a lifelong shame. Even if you have long No matter how hard you block it, you won’t be able to avoid being seen by others.”

"So you and your grandfather only dare to graze in the sparsely populated wilderness, because only there. You are safe. Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will be expelled from here. You will never have a place to stay. This is Isn’t it the fate of the outcast?”

Following the fat man's words, the girl's face became paler, and a blood-red trace flowed from her bitten lip, which was the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Underneath the absolute arrogance, there is often an unimaginable inferiority complex. This is why the girl had such a violent reaction when she first saw herself. She was an arrogant soul, facing fate and all those who wanted to laugh at herself. Man’s unyielding resistance.

"What crime have you committed?" The fat man stopped and asked cautiously.

"No, I am not guilty. Those who are guilty are the greedy people." The girl clasped her fingers together and said with a pale face. "My name is Fogelin. I am a nobleman of the Golit tribe. It was because my father stood up against the local people." Parliament levied grain,

They arranged for someone to falsely accuse my father of rebellion, and also sent out the army to arrest my father. My father was charged with treason and all the family property was confiscated. He was also transferred to a death camp in the army, and we were labeled We have been expelled from our hometown for being guilty of sin. Unless we can pay enough ransom, we will never be allowed to return to our hometown."

"Parliament? Death camp." The fat man frowned and lowered his head. He did not dare to look into Fogelin's eyes.

Secretly promoting local councils to unscrupulously plunder materials and wealth has always been the strategic arrangement of the Falcon Empire. In the entire Dorok Mountains, the small Dorok nobles who have been affected like the girl's family version are not 10 in the entire Dorok. There are only 50,000 yuan. With the wanton plunder of the Parliament, many owners of small Dorok estates with a little wealth fell into bankruptcy.

Fogelin's father was transferred to the death camp, which was almost equivalent to a death sentence. The soldiers in the death camp were usually criminals, and they were arranged in the most dangerous positions during battles. In the past, they fought against the Doroks. , Fatty once saw the so-called death camp of the Dorok people. The main combat equipment of these frontline death camp soldiers was a short sword that was not very sharp and a crudely made simple wooden shield. No leather armor, typical cannon fodder,

A messy formation, with extremely poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness, and without any flank cover. You are not allowed to retreat once a charge is initiated. Behind the death camp, the Dorok cavalry often presses the formation, forced by the sharp cavalry spears. The soldiers in the death camp can only rush forward. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed on the spot. After a battle, not one out of ten can make it back alive.

Looking at Fogelin with a sad face, Fatty felt a sense of guilt in his heart. If strictly calculated, he seemed to be the mastermind behind all this. If Fogelin knew the truth, would he jump up and bite himself?

"It's a bit hot today." He tightened the collar of his collar. The fat man's timid eyes drifted over Fogelin's exquisite and beautiful face. Feeling a little scared, the fat man pretended to move his butt back.

Safe distance, safe distance

The little Lolita with a faint bloodstain hanging from the corner of her mouth had fair skin, and with the moonlight shining on her, she really looked like the teenage vampire in the movie under the bonfire.

"Is it hot today?" A group of guards looked up blankly behind the fat man. The cold moon was high in the sky and the cold wind was blowing. White mist fills the darkness of the surrounding forest like floating water ribbons,

In the distant sky, the twinkling morning star can be vaguely seen blinking. Time is passing, but no one dares to speak out. Didn’t you see that His Majesty is enthusiastically picking up girls? It’s a suicide to speak out at this time~

"Yes, the weather is really hot." The captain of the Guards pretended to fan himself with his hand.

He pretended to be sweating profusely, even though there was not a single drop of sweat on his head, even though the cold air in the early morning had condensed a layer of white frost on the surface of the guard's armor. His clever reaction earned an admiring look from His Majesty Falcon. Not bad, he has a bright future.

"Yeah, it's really hot. It's such a strange weather. It feels like summer is back again." Konoe reacted one after another. He quickly said at the same time that it was very hot, "If I had known earlier, I should have worn less clothes."

"You..." Seeing a group of soldiers hurriedly hurriedly opposite her, "Pfft", this funny scene made Fogelin burst into tears and burst into laughter,

"That's right, your face won't be pretty if you're always crying." The fat man looked at Fogelin, who was still smiling but still had tears in her eyes. He coughed in embarrassment and said, "Let's make a deal. I can help." How about you rescue your father from the death camp, but you have to do me a favor first?"

"real?"

When she heard that Fatty was willing to help her rescue her father from the death camp, Fogelin's face suddenly became excited. Her red eyes were like a rabbit's and she looked at Fatty with hope. Her pretty cheeks were burned red by the campfire. , looking delicate and tender, her eyes rolled around the fat man, and then a hint of disappointment flashed through her body.

"Are you lying to me?" Fogelin's voice was low, and she was obviously worried about the personality of the fat man in front of her. After her father was arrested, it was not that Fogelin didn't seek help everywhere. After all, in her hometown, she was also the most beautiful. Locally, the original number of suitors even reached three figures.

But when disaster struck, when parliamentary soldiers swarmed into the manor and captured the father in front of everyone, everything changed overnight. When the Fergie family was still the richest man in the area,

These young nobles gathered around him like they were noble princesses. But when the Fogg family was in trouble, these people who had once gathered around him like skylarks disappeared.

Those eager suitors at the beginning have now been replaced by cold faces and contempt that they were afraid of avoiding. Among them, one of the people he once admired actually said to him

"You are a sinner and a branded animal. What qualifications do you have to talk about feelings?"

Fogelin once sat in despair on the balcony of her attic and wanted to commit suicide. At this moment, she already knew that those who usually surrounded her were only coveting her beauty and family wealth.

In this situation, you can play pity, but it is absolutely impossible to save people. Who would risk being convicted and get involved with traitors?

This is society, this is the human heart, so cold that people can only wrap themselves up and protect the remaining dignity with a kind of extreme aloofness. Sometimes Fogelin even wants to die, if it weren't for the old housekeeper Always by my side, this proud flower has long since withered in the mountains of exile.

"You don't believe me?" The fat man's eyes were sincere and eager, and there was a bit of anger in his voice. He did want to atone for his sins. After all, he had an unshirkable responsibility for what happened to the Fogelin family for a long time. No one dares to question themselves anymore,

Fogelin glanced at the fat man unexpectedly. She saw a hint of anger and sadness on the fat man's face. Such an expression could not be made by a liar.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you, but do you know how difficult this matter is?"

After judging that the fat man's words were indeed sincere, Fogelin said with an apologetic expression on her pretty face, "Although you are a noble and have so many guards, you are just a foreigner fighting against the Doroks." , how can you enter Dorok Daredevil to rescue people?

"And my father was sentenced to a death camp for front-line combat. There are wars everywhere now, and the death camps are being mobilized at any time. We don't even know the specific location, but you are so sure that you can help me rescue me. It's really... I can't believe it"

"You don't have to worry about this. Since there is a judgment from the parliament, you can find out which death camp your father was in as long as you retrieve the files at that time." The fat man said with a meaningful smile.

"I still have some connections in Dorok. To rescue people safely, I don't necessarily need to go there in person. The people in Dorok are those who get paid to do things. In places like death camps, like this There are more people, and money is not necessarily a good thing, but it can help you solve complex problems."

"Are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to help me rescue my father?" Under the encouraging gaze of the fat man, Fogelin finally chose to believe this man whom she met by chance, and almost leaned towards him. This time the fat man didn't hide

"Of course, I never lie," the fat man vowed, and the guards next to him turned their heads with ugly expressions.

Oh my God, His Majesty Falcon, who claims to cheat people to death without losing money, actually said that he never lies. The stars above his head did not fall and hit his head. He is really lucky.

"Well, since it's a deal, let's talk about your conditions."

Fogelin was frightened by the fat man's oath, her face was as red as fire, and she felt so bad. It's really embarrassing for a woman to ask such a question to a man, but in this situation, who cares?

"Ahem, you don't feel uncomfortable?" The fat man looked at Fogelin, whose face was as red as a ripe apple. Suddenly he asked calmly with a serious look on his face. His face changed so quickly that it was shocking.

"Ahem, yes... there are some." Fogelin pretended to cough shyly, her head almost buried in her snow-white chest. "What if this lustful man gets her, but then regrets it?" "It's really embarrassing to think about it in this night."

"Okay, then I said it." The fat man's voice harassed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and her heart was as tangled as a courtyard covered with vines. Fogelin heard such words coming from the other side, "My conditions are

"I hope you can take me to Pomeon City." The fat man looked at Fogelin's pink ears that stood up like a rabbit, and said softly in a funny voice.

"What? Just...that's all?" The girl raised her head in disbelief, almost thinking she heard wrong because of her nervousness, but the fat man's smile showed that she heard right.

"Since you are a Golid man who is familiar with the roads, you must be able to help me find a shortcut to Pomian." The fat man paused in his voice, and stretched out his big fat hand with a sincere expression, greedy Holding the smooth and white hands of the unsuspecting little loli,

Rubbing it, eyes flashing with tears, like a little sheep waiting for Fugelin's redemption,

"Look, I'm not familiar with the roads here. These stupid men of mine don't even know the mountain roads." The fat man looked at her pitifully and stretched out his hand to point to the group of stupid people behind him. He wanted to say something to himself. The more pitiful the better. "There are so many forests here, and there are terrible wolves at night. It's freezing cold (I don't know who said it was hot just now). It's really dangerous to stay here. If I'm killed by a wild wolf, If you eat it, you won't be able to save your father."

Anyway, let's trick this girl into going to Pomeon first.

In a remote corner of Ansluk Military Camp in the Dorok Mountains, the mottled walls that have been in disrepair for many years are cracked by the erosion of the strong moisture before the rainy season.

The exit of the room was covered with green moss, revealing the dark and miserable granite stones underneath. There is an unpleasant smell of mildew on the walls.

On one side of the room is a pool. Before it was converted into a military camp, it used to be the water prison of the local council. The water in the pool exuded a foul smell and turned into a disgusting ink black. It has not been cleaned for countless years.

The water inside was sticky and thick, and gave off a suffocating stench. There was also vomiting garbage floating on the water surface. In the other half of the room, there were dirty broken stones that were impossible to stand on.

This is the barracks of the death camp. The officers are in no mood to take a glance at these cannon fodder that are about to be sent to the battlefield. This gives the profiteers an opportunity to flourish.

The reported barrack construction costs are calculated based on the new camp. In fact, it is just an on-site renovation, converting the original cells and toilets into residences for these criminals.

This is what many death camps are like. In these dirty pigsty-like rooms, there are also many death camp soldiers wearing rags crowded together.

Without exception, the backs of their necks were branded with blue-black sinner patterns. People were crowded together lying on the paved street. There were piles of brown feces under the stone slabs next to them, and flies were flying in the air. , as if this is their paradise.

There is no need to participate in training in the death camp, which may be the only thing that other soldiers envy them. They are just a group of cannon fodder anyway, and the officers do not expect these sinners to display any outstanding combat effectiveness on the battlefield. Their main duty is to fight against the enemy's cavalry.

Everyone knows about the terrifying mass charge of the Falcon Guards Cavalry. Often the regulars of a flag regiment are killed by a head-on collision, and they are all smashed to pieces in just a few minutes. This is the most advanced Falcon of Vecchia. Sharp blades, the main function of the cannon fodder death battalion is to use flesh and blood to drag down the charging hooves of the ground guard cavalry, creating opportunities for the regular army to counterattack, so their result is basically death.

In the chaos of the early morning, the iron door of the death camp was opened with a clang from the outside, and a slightly obese figure appeared in the light.

"Damn, I'm looking for death." The dazzling light made the death camp soldiers in the room very dissatisfied. The soldiers lay in bed and fell asleep. Hungry made them not want to move. Although they ate less, compared with the situation of starving to death outside, the situation here was still much better. After all, no matter how greedy the officer was, he did not want to move. The entire death camp was starved to death before even entering the battlefield. But it is necessary to control food. Occasionally, people who starve to death are carried out. Everyone has become numb and accustomed to it.

To die early and escape life early, instead of being hacked to death on the battlefield and trampled to pieces by the flying hooves of the Falcon Army, it is a good relief to be able to starve to death completely, at least like the traditional Dorok people. Bury your body in the majestic mountains and turn it into a ray of coolness in the wind, bringing comfort to your beloved.

"Quiet." The management officer's voice came from the door, causing the room to become silent.

"The person whose name is read below comes out." The officer frowned slightly. The strong smell in the room made him cover his nose with his hand. He impatiently raised the list of personnel of the death camp in his hand and read aloud.

"Grandy, earrings, Fei Dasu, An Shaode... Fugdigo..." As the officer's voice stopped, a few people stood up in the room. There were 14 people named this time. Brother, they stood up from the crowded bunks and walked towards the iron gate of the barracks like soulless bodies.

"Brother, I'll take the first step." A soldier from the death camp stood up and patted the shoulder of the person next to him. The dead do not need care and mercy. Even the soldiers from the death camp regarded themselves as a dead person. ,

"The parliament that deserves to be killed, is this going to start a war?"

Fogdigo struggled hard and took almost feeble steps. He rocked out of the dark barracks in a rocking chair. The sudden dazzling light even made him feel dizzy, making his eyesight dark. It took him a while to become clear. ,

He looked up at the sky. The pure blue sky was as beautiful as a stone. The fresh wind was mixed with the smell of the hills of his hometown. At this long-lost moment, Fogdigo even felt that his soul had flown into the sky in advance.

What a beautiful Dorok, surrounded by mountains and green shades. On the second floor of the beautiful manor at home, my beautiful daughter is leaning in front of the window. She is smiling towards this side. It is so beautiful.

"Pa" A hot stinging pain woke him up from his illusory trance, "Why are you dazed? Come on, do you want to be beaten? You sinners" came the guarding officer's rude shouting and cursing, (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
