Realm of Power

"I'm taking Turrit Colleen away!"

The fat man stopped in front of the middle-aged woman and said straight to the point. Under the fat man's gaze, an imperceptible panic flashed across the middle-aged woman's face. Being in a canyon does not mean that the news is blocked. Every ten days, there will be people from outside. The news came in. As an ancient family that has stood in the Principality of Putao for hundreds of years, its intricate and huge news network has already penetrated Arrived in every corner of this principality, the Falcon Empire secretly helped the Duke of Putau to hold on to Lisbonto, officially announced its intervention in the war between Gangfei and the Principality of Putau, and even sent a naval fleet to brazenly bombard Gangfei, the Baron overlord of Central Europe, in full view of the public. In the imperial Kyoto, these shocking news, like explosions, have already reached the seemingly closed canyon.

The head of a super wealthy family is also a human being. He may have the advantage of being arrogant when facing other wealthy families. However, when facing a real emperor and being directly attacked by swords, even the head of the Turrit family can't stand it. Feeling great pressure, the middle-aged woman said hesitantly, Turrit Colleen is the witch of the Turrit family! If there is no valid reason, hand it over. . . . . .

"Turiet Colleen is the princess of the empire! That's why!"

The fat man waved his hand and directly interrupted the middle-aged woman's words. There was an awe-inspiring coldness in his tone, "As for what other people think, I don't need to care!"

"The princess of the empire! You mean!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't believe it at first, and her eyes opened wide. The fat man said it again. The middle-aged woman's fingers were clenched together, her red and thick lips trembled slightly, and she stayed there for a moment, Princess of the Empire! Turrit Colleen is the Imperial Princess! The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed with fire,

She originally thought this was a barbarian emperor from the north. Maybe he heard his daughter's name somewhere, so he came to ask for someone, but he didn't expect that the other party would say such things.

"Yes, Turrit Colleen is my wife! She was a year ago!" The fat man's voice was firm and unquestionable, like steel colliding together and sputtering out sparks, which made people moved.

"A year ago? It seems that what Colleen said is not necessarily false."

Only then did the middle-aged woman come back to her senses. There were a lot of thoughts in her mind. This may be a turning point for the family. Women of the Turrit family were destined to become the core figures of a certain power from birth, but at the same time, they also shouldered the responsibilities of the family. The most miserable fate! In order to prevent the Turrit witches from entering the core layer and having a long-term influence on the kingdom. All Turit women who join the royal family will drink a secret medicine that will permanently make them unable to have children. From that moment on, their lives are linked to the people they are attached to, forever. It will not be recorded in the historical archives of the kingdom, it will never have a true identity, it will always walk in the darkness, and the result of being officially recognized is eternal death.

"Does Your Majesty know that tradition?" The middle-aged woman blinked and took a deep breath.

"The one that Turrit witches can't marry?" The fat man said that he knew, and said with a disdainful smile, "That kind of tradition in Central Europe and Pakistan. Does it have anything to do with me?"

The middle-aged woman was surprised for a moment. The emperor from the northern barbarians didn't seem to mind this, but it was true that the Falcon Empire was a newly powerful empire in the north of Oparo. There is no need to abide by the traditions of China and Europe, and you can even completely ignore the so-called unspoken rules!

This is for Colleen. Or a good choice! The middle-aged woman made up her mind

"Okay, I can hand over Colleen to you! But there is one condition!" The middle-aged woman nodded, decisively surprising the fat man.

"What conditions?" Fatty asked in a solemn voice.

"It's very simple. Turrit Colleen must no longer use the surname Turrit, and His Majesty will give her the title of Princess."

"Why is this?" Fatty was a little surprised.

"Quite simply, the surname Turrit is an unlucky surname!"

The middle-aged woman curled her lips slightly, tried her best to hold back the worries in her heart, and said in a serious voice, "As a mother, I hope that my daughter will live a better life. As the head of the Turrit family, I will create an empire for the family." The princess feels honored! But you need to know that this may anger many Central European Barrow countries, because you are breaking their "tradition!" "I don't want to bring endless trouble to His Majesty! Turrit Colleen has been confined to the Star Tower and has not been seen for more than a year. I originally planned to announce that Turrit Colleen was dead in three years. of!"

"Traditions are meant to be broken!"

The fat man grinned, with a face like a butcher, and said coldly that he had slapped the Congo Empire several times, so he still needed to worry about these Central European Barrow countries?

"That's not necessarily true! Although Gangfei is powerful, it is only one of the more powerful Barrow countries in Central Europe."

The middle-aged woman glanced at the fat man and knew that the northern barbarian emperor had not yet understood the situation of Central Europe and Baro. She only said in a slow tone, "Central Europe and Baro are different from the northern part of Europe and Baro. The area of ​​Central Europe and Baro is the northern part of the country." There are countless powerful countries, among which the Holy Obi Empire and the United Kingdom of Alxa and Faro are not inferior to the Congolese Without the existence of the empire, their control area is closer to the hinterland and inland sea area of ​​​​Central Europe. The main target of the battle is also the Huaculuo people in Central Asia, so they have little influence on the coastal area. This is why they have just The non-empire takes the opportunity to rise! Once His Majesty breaks the tradition, the entire Central European Barrow will unite to fight against His Majesty! "

The fat man hesitated for a moment. His main target was Gaul in the north. There was no need to fight Barro in Central Europe. If he really angered Barro in Central Europe and launched a grand "holy war" against him, then he would be miserable. The fat man nodded, "Okay, I promise, Turrit Corinne will give up her current surname! And accept the title of princess!"

Seeing that the fat man agreed, the middle-aged woman walked to the desk in the living room, picked up a quill pen and wrote something on a piece of leather paper, then handed it to the fat man, "This is a personal letter, take this to Colleen." , starting from today, she is no longer in the family! All her actions have nothing to do with the family! I just hope you can treat her well."

"Don't worry, I won't let her suffer any injustice!"

The fat man nodded, picked up the personal letter, walked out of the door, jumped onto the horse waiting at the door, and whistled. He led a group of cavalry and roared away, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky. He originally went directly to Turrit Colleen, but who knew that he was rejected under the Star Star Tower. Turrit Colleen actually asked him to come to the master in person to get permission before he would see him. He had no choice but to do it, the fat man couldn't. If you don’t come here in person,

"Colleen, you have to rely on yourself in the future!"

The middle-aged woman stood at the door for a long time, looking affectionately at the star-gazing tower isolated on the mountain cliff.

The hooves of the cavalry horses rolled up the grass all over the sky, just like that snowy night many years ago, in the snowy suburbs of late winter, the luxurious horse team welcoming the return of the country dragged more than a thousand meters outside the family mansion, and the women in gorgeous palace clothes , the moment before stepping onto the carriage, he unexpectedly reached out and touched the head of a little girl who was holding the hem of the palace dress that was several meters long behind her, and her eyes were red.

"Let go, little Colleen. Everyone has something that belongs to them! Even if this dress is very beautiful, you need to grow up a little before you can wear it!" The woman squatted down with her beautiful body in a clear and melodious voice. He spoke softly to the little girl who was holding her mouth shut.

"But I'm afraid if I let go, this dress will never be seen again." The little girl held back her tears. Looking at the beauty in front of me, her eyes are red and her ear-length purple hair is full of innocence.

The woman coquettishly scratched the little girl's nose with her hand. He said to the little girl with a joking face, "How is that possible? The future is never foreseeable, and a better thing is always waiting for you in front! Little Colleen. By then, I'm afraid you won't like this shabby dress anymore." Woolen cloth!"

This sentence "The future is unpredictable, and a better thing is always waiting for you ahead" is a blessing to the Turrit family who possess the power of prophecy.

"Ha ha"

Everyone around them laughed, both for the little girl’s innocence and for this woman’s bright future.

This Turit witch who returned home to visit her relatives was very loved by the monarch in her country. The cavalry sent by the monarch this time came to greet her according to the etiquette of the royal family. Many people were envious of her, so the family had high expectations for her. It's so big that some family insiders even believe that this Turrit witch will break the family's curse and become the first person to have a formal royal status.

Two months later, news came from that country that an unexpected fire burned down the palace where the woman who had just been crowned the princess lived. After the fire was put out, people found the body of the princess who had been suffocated to death in the ruins. , some people say that it was a premeditated murder because the king insisted on having his own way. The appointment of a Turit witch as the princess angered the nobles of the entire kingdom. The royal family came out to evade the rumors and insisted that it was an accident. However, the subsequent royal power coup seemed to have explained everything. If they want to launch a coup, they must first kill them. The person is the witch of the Turrit family who has the power of prophecy.

No one dares to launch a coup in a country where Turit witches exist. This is common knowledge in Barro in Central Europe. Regardless of whether Turit witches have prophetic abilities, their role in deterring unscrupulous people is very obvious. All those who married Turit The king of witches will insist that his witch is the one with the power of prophecy

This is the need of the monarch and the stability of a kingdom, but for the Turrit witch, it is a tragedy!

No love, no warmth, no friends, just like a tool, alone in the cold palace,

They will always be feared marginalized people, a completely different palace scenery,

It’s not that there are no Turrit women who have resisted this fate, but in Central Europe Barrow where this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the efforts of the women of the Tourit family will only be rewarded by the joint suppression of the entire Central Europe Barrow, or they can only leave Central Europe Barrow. Only then can we really get rid of this fate! The middle-aged woman thought so,

The black cavalry began to retreat, just as they had come, and quickly disappeared into the distance of the canyon.

In the early spring, the earth is full of green buds, blooming with blue orchid flowers, pink morning glory, small cat's eye flowers, and pale wild chrysanthemums. The wind blows over, and clusters of five-flowered weeds nod and bend neatly. Vegetables are sharp and sharp, Wolf's tail grass The small flag was raised, and amid the heavy sound of horse hooves, a torrent of Kujit cavalry wearing black armor swept across this vast land, bringing with them countless dust, which swayed with the wind brought by the fast horses. Above, a magnificent landscape is formed on the earth.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Rumble"

A burst of thick white smoke appeared in the distance, and more than ten shells with thick black smoke were ejected from the side of the flexibly turning Longya battleship. The fierce reaction force caused the hull of the Longya ship to float enough on the sea level. Pushed a few meters away, the white waves were squeezed elsewhere by the heavy side of the ship.

"pretty!"

Fred, the captain of the Dragon Tooth battleship, shouted excitedly. In the thick smoke ahead, you could see that a Congolese naval battleship that was trying to escape from the side was hit. In a burst of violent explosions, the side of the ship was severely damaged by the Thor Cannon, breaking open two huge black holes. Sea water poured in, and exploded on the sea surface, and then a huge fire broke out, risking The smokey hull was completely paralyzed on the sea, and countless small black dots were jumping down from it, falling into the turbulent sea water and making white splashes.

On the side of this dragon tooth battleship. The sails of the five flexible Dragon Tooth ships were all swollen, like five wolves smelling the smell of blood, approaching the Gangfei battleship that was already in a semi-floating state. "Pop! Pah!" The baffles of the gun bays were constantly flipped over. Open, a row of black The holed gun muzzle protruded from the porthole of the gun bunker. In the other direction, four large Dragon-class battleships stretched out their hulls like giants on the sea, with scale-like gun bunker decks on the sides. Open them one by one. The mighty momentum is like a giant dragon going out to sea with four dragon scales erect,

"Attention, avoid immediately!"

The newly appointed Navy Admiral Longiamu shouted angrily, and then there was violent shaking under his feet. Rumbling, a huge explosion came from the side of the battleship, although most of the attack fell into the nearby sea water, rolling up water columns as high as more than ten meters.

"Rumble"

I saw a group of fierce fires appearing and disappearing on the sea, and white and pungent gunpowder smoke filled the entire sea. The two warships surrounding this ball of fire were completely capsized by the blast of air. It turned over and sank in the sea. Even the two similar warships nearby were swayed by the violent air waves. The mast was swinging back and forth, and there was a danger of breaking at any time. The lookout post at the top of the mast, There is no doubt that he became the victim of the fire at the city gate and the swaying of the mast. The sentry above was like a toy, being thrown to an unknown corner of the sea.

Two violent explosions resounded across the sea, and the Dragon Tooth warship mercilessly dumped its shells at the warships of the Gang Fei Navy.

If it weren't for the flagship's requirement that the attack focus be on the enemy's stern rudder, the eleven Gangfei warships in a panic in front of them would not be enough to be bitten by the wolf-like Dragon's Tooth Fleet. Not to mention the four Dragon-class main battleships with larger tonnage and more gun positions behind them.

"It's the Ekrasu and the Pile!"

It was raining heavily, and the adjutant's exclamation came from the side. Navy Admiral Langiamu's face didn't look good either.

"Order the Ansschro to organize a rescue immediately!" Langiamu looked bleak. In today's battle, he had already paid the price of 4 warships.

This is the battlefield in the waters off Kyoto. Gangfei Kyoto was bombarded by the Falcon Navy. The southern fleet of Gangfei was forced to join the battle in Kyoto.

At the beginning, the Southern Fleet Group was able to gain some small advantages by taking advantage of familiar sea areas and numbers. However, as the Falcon Navy sea area map was improved and it became more and more familiar with the combat sea area, the larger Falcon Navy The fleet enters the battlefield,

This time, the Falcon Navy has clearly learned the lesson that its firepower cannot last long. The fleets dispatched are generally composed of 4 Dragon-class battleships and 12 Dragon-class battleships as the core of the battle. Such a fleet cluster can ensure sufficient artillery shells. , and also has very terrifying firepower and maneuverability

The Falcon Fleet's massed attack began to make Langiamu's Southern Fleet miserable. Several battles ended in disastrous defeats. However, with the Empire's Kyoto behind them, Langiamu's Southern Fleet could only fight to the death. To resist the opponent's navy's approach to Kyoto, Longiamu himself didn't know how long the navy's persistence could last.

An hour later, the two sides withdrew from the battlefield. The wreckage of the battleship was burning in the flames. Floating on the sea was the flag of the Confederate Navy. Looking at the scarred Imperial warships on the sea slowly docking into the Kyoto military port, the Emperor* Minister of State Rubensack lowered the curtain of the window with a solemn expression.

The Navy has tried its best! However, the losses are still increasing on a scale visible to the naked eye.

The empire's naval power is being continuously consumed. Once this barrier disappears, the tragic scene of being bombarded by sea artillery that night will be reproduced. Under attack from both sea and land, the fate of the fall of Kyoto is already foreseeable.

Rubinsack placed an urgent piece of paper in his hand heavily on the table, bang bang." A burst of heavy rain hit the frizzy glass window, and there was sometimes a period of deathly silence. The heavy rain made the trees sway painfully. Lowering his head sadly,

"What a thunderous early spring!" Rubin Sak raised his head and looked at the sky. The rainstorm swept in, covering everything between heaven and earth in the storm. Lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, leaving shocking arcs of fire in the window, and then there was a deafening thunder.

"Moving to Beijing. It is imminent! But Kyoto, with a population of one million, cannot be moved away with just one word." Rubin Sak fell into deep thought, and there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in," Rubin Sak raised his head and shouted,

"Sir, something happened to His Majesty the Emperor!" The adjutant walked in hurriedly.
