Realm of Power

On September 16, Algernonkaja, the southwestern governor of the Gallic Empire, announced with a high profile that Southend, Svendborg, Bangor, Tarbert, Louarca, Skive, Batten Towers, Braise, Willy, The eleven northwest regions including Losso and Zekelia are under the management of the southwest region. As campaign logistics, all bad actions related to them must be stopped.

When the news came out, not only was the northwest shocked, but it also caused quite a stir within the Gallic Empire. “It’s really extremely arrogant.” The sixty-three-year-old Julius Warner, the former undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the head of the Julius family, who had not appeared at the Imperial Council for a long time due to health reasons, suddenly At the imperial meeting held on September 20th,

"Appropriating other people's land as your own is so blatant. Are you just watching the empire be led into the source of turmoil?" Julius Warner's scorching eyes made the military bosses present. His face was silent, his eyes more or less evasive,

Since the incident a few years ago, Julius Warner asked the late Emperor to go home to recuperate because of physical discomfort. The decline of the Julius family is already a certainty.

Several years have passed, and although the Julius family has struggled hard, its decline is still irreversible. Just like this time's announcement to transform the Northwest District into the Southwest District, it is simply a blatant robbery! But no one dared to say anything, the Alger farmer

Looking at the back of Julius Warner walking away, some people couldn't help but want to stand up, but were stopped by the companions next to them. "Do you want to be troublesome? As a relative of the royal family, the Alger family has not yet done this. How brave, dare to do this, is it possible without His Majesty's instructions later? This time The imperial meeting is discussing the battle against Central European Barrow. His Majesty, who always arrives early, is experiencing a rare delay. Haven't you noticed? His Majesty is avoiding this old guy. Anyone who stands in His Majesty's way. Obstacles to ambition will be removed like an old guy!"

Hearing the words of his companions, those who wanted to stand up did not dare to stand up either.

"I heard that Julius Fort was going to Kyoto to appeal." A few minutes before His Majesty the Emperor arrived, the generals were whispering in their seats, "This is really stupid!" A general said with a hint of tone. Feelings: "Back in Kyoto, it's like a lion getting into a cage! In this situation, it is most beneficial to stay outside. How could a smart person like Julius Forbaugh be so stupid at the critical moment? . Come back, even if you don’t die, you can’t leave again!”

"Hey, if you come back, the Julius family will be completely finished!" Another general sighed...

On the outskirts of Oleron Castle, the cool late autumn sunshine shines on the earth, and lakes large and small are rippling with sparkling water. Under the blue sky, the hillside is covered with patches of alfalfa, and the velvet-like green on the . Densely covered with dots of tiny flowers, under a grass hill, a dozen scattered war horses grazed with their heads lowered, and two figures stood on the top of the grass hill. One is a fat man, and the other is Julius Forbaugh, who claims to be ill.

Julius Fort's sudden arrival was somewhat beyond Fatty's expectations. The news he brought also made Fatty feel a little confused.

"I have decided to leave for Kyoto tomorrow!" Julius Ford stood on the grass hill. Looking at the land in front of him with affectionate eyes, "Why do you want to go to Kyoto? In fact, you are very passionate, there is no use even if you go!" The fat man stood beside him and said, if I am not wrong, your enemies have laid enough traps in Kyoto to make you A trap you can never leave! Even so, you still want to go to Kyoto? "

"There is no way. The order came from Kyoto. As the army commander of the empire, I need to go back immediately to attend the meeting on dealing with the people in the northwest Dongting!" Julius Fort said with a bitter smile on his lips and a somewhat cold voice.

"It is conceivable that this has been planned by the other side for a long time, and it is interconnected. First, we will force the opposition to a dead end, and then come out to clean up the mess, and easily take away half of the land in the northwest. This plan has been planned for a long time. Block the news and secretly incite leaders in the northwest Lords, the other party has spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Now that it is launched, it will naturally not leave me a chance to make a comeback! The situation in the northwest is already like this. What will happen if I don't go back? Now the other party must think that I am at the end of my rope. , this is our opportunity.”

"What do you mean?" The fat man was stunned for a moment. From the beginning, he felt that Julius Fort was not someone who would give in easily. Now it seems that this powerful imperial general in the northwest obviously has other plans.

"I went to Kyoto as a loser!" Julius Forbaugh sneered, turned around, looked calm, looked back from a distance, and took a deep breath with a bit of reluctance. He said in a heavy tone, "The news about the northwest is completely blocked in Kyoto. Only when I go back will this blockade be broken, and the entire Kyoto will know the truth about the rebellion in the northwest. Only then will I have the opportunity to make a complaint to His Majesty the Emperor. This This is our chance!”

"I still don't understand?" The fat man shrugged his shoulders.

"You don't understand the internal situation of the empire, that's why you are so confused!" Julius Forbaugh patted the fat man's shoulder heavily with his hand and said with a smile, "The entire empire knows that the northwest region belongs to my Julius family. traditional territory,

According to the empire's practice, when a rebellion occurs within the traditional territory of each family, as long as the family still exists, other families cannot intervene. This situation has been maintained for more than 200 years, which means that the Alger family has committed public outrage this time.

Even His Majesty the Emperor dare not ignore this, so even if he really wants to destroy us, His Majesty the Emperor can only choose to respond with silence and delaying time! In other words, His Majesty the Emperor will remain silent on this matter for a long time, "Even if this place has been reduced to ruins!" "You mean, if you delay in Kyoto, I will attack with all my strength?" Fatty I finally understood a little bit, I guess, this is a request for me to take action with all my strength. It is indeed Julius Ford's style. Even if he is tricked by someone, he will use more ruthless means to get back.

Although Julius Fordburg is old and calm, he is still a soldier at heart. He is ruthless and ruthless. He is used to using white knives and red knives. When facing powerful enemies, he will not hesitate to raise weapons, but when it comes to secretly Playing political tricks seems a bit lacking, but the military's reporting "Reply, more direct than politicians." It can be understood in this way. Julius Forborg's eyes flashed with a fierce murderous intent. "If I remember correctly, you defeated the Normans within 2 months." , then if I give you 2 months, what can you achieve? "

"If I have 50,000 troops, I can dominate one side. If I have 100,000 troops, I can sweep across the northwest." The fat man said bluntly, spread his hands, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I only have 15,000 prairie cavalry now. Even if I add Normandy, The garrison will never exceed 50,000 people!”

"Can one hundred thousand people sweep across the northwest!" Julius Fort was surprised for a moment, and suddenly laughed boldly, "Okay! He is indeed the man known as the God of War! I don't believe it when others say this, but you say , I believe that as for the military strength, there is no need to worry at all. This is the northwest of my Fort Julius Ford, and the most important thing is the military strength!" Julius Fort took off a heraldic ring from his finger. He handed it to the fat man and said

"Take this, I have already explained before departure. From today on, you have full authority to represent me, Julius Fort. All the 110,000 troops of my Julius family in the northwest are under your jurisdiction. Even the empire's third You can use this to mobilize the 100,000 regular troops of the Fifth Army. The Fifth Army is the most loyal son of my Julius family, and they will obey the deployment!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will use this to control the northwest?" The fat man took the unusually heavy heraldic ring, looked at it, and asked in a calm tone.

"So what, the situation in the northwest is already like this." Julius Ford took a deep breath and said with a relaxed expression, "If you can take over the entire northwest, that's your ability! Just treat it as a gift to that person in advance. The girl's dowry is better than giving it away to the Algernon family for nothing!

In fact, I am still a little selfish. As long as the northwest does not fall into the Alger family, then my Julius family will have a chance to make a comeback. What a beautiful autumn day. I didn’t realize it before. Now that I am about to leave, I cherish it.

I should thank you. The mountain scenery of Fort Olleron is very famous in the northwest! "

"I heard that you asked the little girl to take a boat back to see me!" Julius Fordburg suddenly changed the subject, and the overlord's pride turned into a trace of father's tenderness. "Yes, I just left this morning. If I knew you were coming, I would Don't let her go!" The fat man nodded.

"It's okay that we haven't met, and you are crying, but you are not my daughter, Julius Forbaugh! In fact, you know, the marriage of the little girl is more of a hostage in nature, but you still fulfilled your promise. This is why I think everything will be I’ll leave it all to you so you can rest assured.”

"So that's it, it's really..." The fat man opened his mouth, with a surprised look on his face and didn't know what to say.

Although he knew that the Julius family had lost power in the Gallic Empire, for him, it was a source of support in the northwest region.

I had no ambitions towards the unruly woman, but unexpectedly I won the favor of Julius Forbaugh. It was an unexpected surprise.

After a moment of silence, the fat man said in a deep voice, "Actually, the fate of the Julius family is not as pessimistic as you think! There is actually an obvious loophole in the opponent's ultimate kill!"

"Oh, what loophole?" Julius Forbaugh's eyes lit up (To be continued...)
