Realm of Power

Putao Principality, Huacheng Island

A black carriage, escorted by a group of cavalry, slowly walked along the newly built stone road outside the port.

The fat man opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the white sails on the sea outside the window with interest. The salty wind blowing from the direction of the port blew on his face and neck, and time passed by unconsciously. Time has passed, and the cruel winter is coming In this disaster-stricken region, the climate in the island area has obviously warmed up earlier than inland. The frost on both sides of the road is slowly melting into crystal water droplets under the sunshine, reflecting the sunlight and emitting colorful colors. of light. Green twigs appeared on the wasteland beside the road, adding a little more green color to the originally bare road.

Although it is still the end of winter, the hard-working Putau fishermen have begun to form fishing boats and go to the sea. The Falcon Navy warships on the sea are crushing the offshore ice. Since the Falcon Empire announced that it is an ally of the Principality of Putau, this island is nominally owned by The private island of King Raphael of the Principality of Putau has been It has become an important stronghold of the Falcon Army in the Putau area. Everything is just like the original Putau Principality. Under the ice shattered by the fleet, there are rich fishery resources. This leaves those troops who persisted in Lisbon without help from the outside world. Despite the situation, sufficient supply lines are still maintained

As the most important support point to support the Putau battlefield, the Falcon Navy has carried out large-scale transformation of this island with a good foundation. The Falcon Empire has signed an agreement to lease this island with the Duke of Putau for 300 years. The fat man took advantage of the bright spring light to inspect the navy In the construction of Huacheng Port, three permanent large-scale naval docks have been built. The outside of the port that was originally bombed has become a new military port area, with an area more than five times that of the original old port. He carefully tested a batch of The Thunder God song gun just equipped by the Admiralty,

These Thunder God cannons are an improved version of the Navy's Dragon Ya battleship Thor. This work started in mid-July and was carried out at the same time as the transformation of the Dragon Ya battleship. The transformation of the Dragon Ya battleship was completed in November. And it happened to catch up with the empire's war against the Gangfei Empire,

In view of the large ship policy of the Europa Continental battleship, the common characteristics of the size, tonnage, and thick armor, the empire's front-line naval combat forces have new requirements for the power and penetration of the Navy Thor.

The Department of the Navy is based on the requirements of frontline combat units. The range and penetration power of the Naval Thor have been enhanced. This new Naval Thor's cannon barrel is longer than the original Navy Thor, but the muzzle is thinner. This seemingly inconspicuous change has brought the empire The change in the navy's combat effectiveness is huge. Even Fatty is thinking about whether he should correct the intuitive idea that the Army always pursues the most powerful muzzle. The reform of the Navy's Thor's direct fire allowed Fatty to see the detailed reform that he had ignored before.

According to the fat man, this reform of the Navy Department. It gave him a glimmer of hope to break through the limitations of industrial capabilities.

A smaller barrel can reduce the chance of the gun barrel overheating and exploding. Although Imperial Industry's forging technology in the artillery barrel has been very mature, and the number of incidents of exploding the barrel during combat has been greatly reduced, on average, for every hundred Thors, There will always be two or three doors that have various problems due to usage problems. This has always been something that troubled Fatty in the past. Fatty attributed this mistake to the limitations of current military industry technology, but now, Fatty believes that it is not necessarily the cause of industrial power. Although he has advanced awareness and knowledge, he is a layman in this area after all.

The impact of reducing the muzzle on the reform of the Imperial Army. Would be great! Reports sent from the Admiralty, two encounters, an attack on Congo Kyoto, losses incurred in combat with the Congo Navy. All because of insufficient ammunition! The reform of the smaller cannon caliber makes it easier to load Thor shells and clean the gun barrel residues, which virtually speeds up the bombardment. The smaller cannon shells can carry more quantities, which can just overcome the Imperial Navy ammunition. Shortcomings of insufficient quantity.

This reform is a true leapfrog transformation of the Imperial Navy from a regional navy to a maritime navy!

After accumulating a lot of practical experience, the empire's military industry, first of all in the navy where Thor is most frequently used, has finally begun to take its own steps! The empire needs more similar industrial reforms to make breakthroughs in existing fields. The empire is no longer an empire on the Ikadiva continent, but an empire spanning two continents.

The enemy changed from a kingdom to an empire with an equally powerful military. Although in the early stage, the Obarro forces gained a temporary advantage due to their lack of understanding of the imperial military equipment, but with the full-scale war with Gaul and Gangfei, The situation in the Falcon Empire is being understood by the continent of Opalo. The Falcon Army's thunder gods and crossbows have attracted attention. It has aroused the interest of many countries, and even in some black market areas, they blatantly want to purchase these two weapons at high prices. Naturally, under the strong suppression of the Falcon Garrison, there has been no outflow yet, but no one dares to say, In the near future, these weapons belonging to the Falcon Corps will not appear in the enemy's armies.

"Creak" The carriage stopped and the door opened from the outside. Besukaya, who was wearing a thick white fox fur cloak, turned into the car like a little white fox. The beautiful cold land beauty like an elf carefully stood opposite the fat man. sit down

"Is the journey going well?" The fat man raised his head, glanced at his "disciple" and put down the report he had just received. Contrary to the fat man's expectation, the Gangfei Imperial Army suddenly let go of the siege of Lisbonto and approached. Gangfei's army of about 50,000 actually retreated to the border. This really made Fatty feel a little confused. Did Gangfei see his intentions, or did he have other plans?

"It went smoothly. It took more than a month to take the boat back and forth. Nothing happened along the way. Kaya was on the deck looking up at the stars in the sky on the sea. She missed her teacher a little." Besu Kaya's face was slightly red, and she didn't know it was because of shyness. , still cold, said with bright eyes

"Stars? Do they have something to do with me?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and directly ignored the faint hint from the little beauty. "This time you asked to return to the Northland, you are not just looking at the stars." "

"I'm very grateful to the teacher for ordering the North Sea Fleet to assist our Besu tribe in retaking the southeastern cape." Besu Kaya nodded respectfully to the fat man.

"Ahem!" No matter how thick-skinned the fat man was, he coughed in embarrassment. "I'm sorry for the death of the great elder Besu Rashad. He was a wise elder. I didn't expect the Austin people to be so bold." Raid the southeastern cape, I have ordered the North Sea Fleet to suppress them, and the Austinites have also sent an apologetic messenger. The murderer has been executed."

The fat man looked at Besukaya, who had a silent look on his face, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "There is only so much that the empire can do at the moment. Although the empire is the nominal master of the northern cold land, the empire in the northern cold land has We only have 20,000 troops, and we don’t have the ability to fight against the Austins until the main force is transferred back.

"Teacher, I understand!" Besukaya suddenly chuckled, her eyes as alluring as stars, and whispered, "In Besukaya's heart, the decision made by the teacher will always be the starlight that guides the future for the disciples."

Fatty:. . . . . . .

The carriage crushed the gravel of the road. The roads have been renovated. It looked very flat and spacious, so the carriage moved very smoothly, and even the water in the water glass that Besukaya placed on the coffee table did not slosh out. Besukaya was looking at the report of the recent period attentively. As the fat man's disciple and a self-proclaimed adjutant, the little beauty had no time to pay attention to the scenery outside the window. The way she read it carefully and thoughtfully made the fat man also admire it. Can feel it. After two months of separation, it seems that this beauty from the cold northern land no longer looks forward to returning as soon as possible.

"Papa." The fat man suddenly patted the carriage with a gloomy face, and then opened the curtain, looking a little weird. The carriage stopped slowly, and the guards cavalry around them took their positions. It was quiet all around, and the fat man looked out. After looking at it, my eyes focused on a cat in the woods on the roadside.

"White Persian cat!"

The fat man's eyes lit up like a bright light. Sure enough, what was supposed to come came. The girl who used to sit solemnly on the expensive sofa next to the assassin, and was full of strange charm. This pure white Persian cat was once in the gentle hands of this girl. . Look at yourself quietly like this

"Teacher?" Besukaya raised her head curiously, followed the fat man's gaze, and suddenly said in a daze, "It's strange, how can there be such a Persian cat in such a wilderness!"

The fat man didn't look at her. Instead, he glanced at the cat a few times, narrowed his eyes into a line, cast a cold light into the depths of the forest, and said in a solemn voice, "Now that we are here, why should we be so secretive? In a sense, you and I It’s also a master-servant relationship! Since it’s the master’s call, are you going to keep avoiding him like this? “

"Since it is the master's call, the little girl naturally dare not disobey!"

A faint young female voice came from the woods, and with the beating of the pure white Persian cat, a girl wearing a lavender dress appeared quietly outside the carriage like a gust of wind, with an indifferent expression. He looked in the direction of the carriage. Although she did not carry any weapons, and she looked slim and frail, she was so weird when she appeared that the guards nearby turned green with fear. It was so weird that no one saw how this woman appeared. ,

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The guards hurriedly drew out the assault crossbows behind their horses, and at least twenty sharp arrow clusters were aimed at the girl. On the contrary, the Persian cat was turning back and forth around her body, its tail swaying incessantly. The girl's face was indifferent, only her eyes were full of indiscernible emotions.

"Don't be rude, you are the guest I called!"

The fat man waved his hand to the overly nervous guards, and the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The assault crossbow was withdrawn, and the fat man waved to the girl with a calm face, "Let's talk in the car. Let's talk. This is the first time you and I have met since you became the master of the assassination."

The girl's eyes paused on the fat man's face. She hesitated for a moment before walking onto the fat man's carriage. She sat down next to the stunningly beautiful Besukaya in the carriage without any scruples. She seemed to have known for a long time that this follower The identity of a beautiful woman about her own age made Besukaya feel a little unnatural. This girl looked so charming, but the coldness that naturally appeared on her body gave people a feeling of repulsion. It was obvious. This woman knows herself, but I don't know this woman!

As the girl stepped onto the carriage, under the eyes of many guards, the white Persian cat jumped up to the fat man's side, stood up half in front of the fat man, and jumped up and down, as if he had seen it. As affectionate as an acquaintance. He wanted to jump onto the fat man's carriage, but he was too fat to jump up. The fat man stretched out his hand and lifted the silly fat cat into his carriage.

"I recruited you so far away this time because I want to tell you that the replacement in the Southwest District is my order!" The fat man glanced at the young master of the Dark Assassination opposite him and said directly, letting go of the cat. With her hand, the Persian cat jumped into the girl's arms and squatted there quietly.

"Your Majesty's will is Backstab's will! I have never questioned Your Majesty! And I dare not..."

The girl lowered her head and gritted her teeth. She was not as willing as she said. It only took a month to get from the northwest region to Pantao by boat, and the "incident" in the southwest region also made her, the new head of the family, feel in crisis.

The incident in the southwest district made the divisions within the Dark Thorn more obvious.

The girl has clearly felt the various conflicts and threats coming from within the Dark Thorn, especially the more powerful branches. For example, the branches in Zhivadin, the three northern counties and other regions all have powerful people who can aspire to be the leader of the Dark Assassin. In the past, they had the support of the empire. The branches in these regions did not dare to have too extreme ideas, but in the southwest The incident in the district showed that the empire was supreme. I am very dissatisfied with the current assassin leader. In the bloody and dark underground world, there is never a shortage of ambitious people.

Overnight, the girl suddenly found herself on the edge of a cliff. All branches were eyeing her, and the newly supported subordinates had insufficient foundation. It didn't work at all at the critical moment, and the old subordinates who had been squeezed out looked on with cold eyes, as if they were watching the new leader's joke.

now. The new head of the assassin, who has a somewhat rebellious character, only now clearly feels what it means to betray one's relatives and leave one's relatives.

The impact of the Southwest District incident is really huge! Branches from all parties are already ready to take action!

The Dark Thorn is actually just a vine clinging to the big tree of the Empire. Without the support of the Empire, the Dark Thorn that can cover the sky with one hand in the underground world is nothing.

At this time, the girl bitterly remembered what her sister had specially told her when she left, but she had forgotten it in her wanton behavior again and again.

In the cold wind and snow of winter, the girl stood alone in front of her sister's house for a day and a night. The wind and snow filled the sky, and the girl became independent and gradually turned into a snowman. The boss who used to use ruthless means to suppress each branch was now married. The other wife, in the end, only sent a letter from the room to this useless sister.

"At this moment, there is only one person who can save you!"

This letter was sent directly to the Imperial Ministry of Affairs, and finally got into the hands of Fatty. Finally, with this meeting, Fatty was indeed dissatisfied with the performance of the assassin in Obaro, but considering the contribution of the Great Master to the Unification War, Fatty In the end, they decided to give the two sisters another chance, which was a return of a favor to the original boss.

It can be seen that the recent period has been a cruel torture for the girl who holds the secret thorn in one hand and feels the peak of power, but then falls to the bottom overnight.

Her beautiful face has obviously become lighter, but it is still beautiful and beautiful, but her eyebrows are raised, her eyes are set, and her cheeks are fresh. The nose is greasy, the lips are slightly parted, the teeth are exposed, the watery and shining eyes contain a shy and provocative aura, mixed with a pure, elegant, sexy and glamorous temperament, and the waterfall-like long hair , which made her chest even more round and plump, and the tight tube top couldn't cover the upturn of her chest. However, her expression was obviously a little tired and her face was a little pale. She was obviously thinking of something uncontrollably, her eyes were blurred, and she looked even more gorgeous.

"Master, my subordinates used to be too ignorant..."

The girl said intermittently with a hesitant look on her face. Judging from her appearance, her eyes were a little dim and her breathing was a little weak. Beside the girl, Besukaya could not keep calm. She was the master of secret assassination! What a terrifying identity this is, but in front of my teacher, I can only think of myself as a servant.

The teacher rarely shows the power of a king in front of him. Sometimes, Besukaya will unknowingly regard this guy who sometimes looks silly as the brother next door, but forgets about this emperor. The power is like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

"How many days have you been here?" The fat man looked at the girl who was making a self-examination. He waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her. "If you hadn't been discovered by me today, you would still be planning to spend time in this wilderness. How many days?”

"I'll be there in three...three days!"

The girl stopped talking, her head lowered slightly, her hair shawl covering less than half of her face, and her voice was a little hoarse. The fat man glanced at the scraps of grass on the girl's clothes and asked with a smile. The girl did not make a sound, but lowered her head lower, with a blush on her face.

"Sure enough, she is still an immature little girl!" The fat man frowned slightly. He had to consider, could such a hidden thorn really support the black world of the empire?

"Give you a chance!" Fatty sighed deeply and put the report on Gang Fei's withdrawal on the table. "No matter what method you use, in ten days, I need to know the real reason for the opponent's withdrawal."

"Is it that simple?" The girl raised her head unexpectedly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. In her heart, she didn't seem to think it was difficult to figure this out.

"Yes, it's that simple!" The fat man smiled slightly, knocked on the car door with his hand, the carriage stopped, and pouted at the girl, "You can set off now, there is a ship at the port, remember, there are only ten days, if you succeed , I will let the military express its support for you, fail at your own risk, the empire needs a backstab, not just an intelligence trading agency, I believe you know what I mean!

The girl didn't say anything. She picked up the white cat, jumped off the carriage neatly, and disappeared into the distance.

"Teacher, isn't this kind of test too much for the leader of the Dark Assassin..." Besukaya looked at the fat man curiously and paused in her voice.

"You want to say it's too simple, don't you?" The fat man smiled slightly and said with twinkling eyes. "I believe she thinks so too. Unfortunately, the truth is often not so simple. I have a hunch that this time it won't be so simple." The sudden release of the encirclement must have an ulterior plan. In ten days, in a completely I want to find out the inside story in a strange environment. I also look forward to whether the leader of the secret assassin can complete such an impossible task!
