Realm of Power

Linanna stood in front of the window with a curious expression, her beautiful eyes looking outside at the raindrops on the street. There was a group of Falcon Empire light cavalry wearing black cloaks passing by, led by a red-haired officer. The handsome man caught her eye. He looked handsome. He is handsome, his eyes are bright, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still retain the vitality of a young man. The appearance of this officer is enough to tempt many aristocratic girls like Linanna who rarely go out all year round. This red-haired officer is guarding a car. The black carriage just passed through the opposite corner

To be fair, these rumored to be very ferocious Falcon Army soldiers are all energetic young people, and their eyes do not have the ferocious look in the rumors. On the contrary, during the past few days of observation, Linanna unexpectedly discovered that these Falcon Army soldiers also followed The Gauls also had their own joys, sorrows, and joys. Some soldiers would stand under the eaves of street shops, staring at the raindrops falling from their heads in a daze, with nostalgia in their eyes. Some would bargain with the shop owners in unfamiliar Gaulish. ,

The funny looks of using their hands and feet, and sometimes inexpressible angry words, often frightened the shop owner to death. But soon, these soldiers would take out the golden coins to express their true meaning. According to the decree just promulgated in the occupied area , all shops in the city must open for business within three days, otherwise their business rights will be completely revoked, and the shops will be taken over by the occupying forces. Therefore, although the Gallic merchants in the city looked frightened, they had to bite the bullet and open the doors. store door

Some people predict that this is the plundering strategy of the brutal Falcon Army, and any store that opens its door will be robbed without mercy.

Linanna's family is a prominent noble in the city and owns a lot of commercial real estate in the city. After receiving such an order, everyone looked as if they were dead. In the end, between losing their shop or losing face, Linanna's The parents finally chose to "lose face"

"The troops have fled, what are we still holding on to?"

Lyanna will always remember the night her father was drunk. A roar like a wounded beast,

When it comes to war, the sixteen-year-old Linanna can only be considered ignorant. She remembers that just half a month ago, for several days, many remnants of the defeated army passed through the city. They were simply not the brightly-dressed imperial people I had seen before. Even the scattered northern nomadic wanderers rumored to be better than these people.

Their faces were covered with dirty and long beards, their bodies were covered in tattered military uniforms, and there were no team flags or regimental numbers. They moved forward with a tired attitude. The whole thing seemed to be bruised. With a broken waist, his mind is too slow to remember anything, and he can't make up any ideas. He just moves forward out of habit, as if he has lost his soul. If he stops, he will immediately sit down because he has no strength. Come down,

Many dejected regular soldiers also mingled with these different types of soldiers; occasionally there was an imperial officer wearing a shiny bronze helmet. Riding a war horse and accompanying his attendants, he passed by proudly, looking at the lonely sight of these soldiers on the roadside as if he had not seen anything at all.

According to my father, these are mainly low-class people who were recruited due to the empire's winter mobilization order. Most of these low-class people come from remote areas. There are also some National Guards recruited from the city: the former are people who are accustomed to laziness, and the latter are lazy people who hope to rely on the taxes of the nobility to support them.

These people deserve no sympathy. As soldiers, they should be active on the battlefield fighting the enemy, serving to protect the empire and the nobles who pay to support them.

But these guys have no such consciousness at all. They stay in the city decadently, consuming the national food provided by the noble taxes every day, and making the whole city smoky. They also often rob passers-by's property and buy and sell by force. They are simply worse than those The enemy is so hateful, they are just a bunch of national worms. I really hope they all die!

And according to my father, the officers of these local garrison troops were all lowly woolen merchants or grain merchants, or beef and mutton oil sellers or soap sellers with bad behavior and full of stinky smell. After the war, they He immediately transformed into a warrior who rose up at the right time,

Because most of the nobles in the empire are not willing to actually go to the battlefield, they often hand over such obligations to their subordinates. Their subordinates also forcibly recruit some people. These people are not regular officers and are used to wearing uniforms. The military uniforms with conspicuous red velvet tape and gold thread on the cuffs were self-righteous, talked eloquently, discussed the battle plan loudly, and used an exaggerated tone, claiming that the dying empire was supported by their shoulders.

Not long ago, everything changed. The Falcon Empire entered the central urban areas in large numbers. Many cities were occupied. People died in pieces, and it was impossible to count them. According to people,

Since such rumors spread, those lazy local guards immediately consciously hid in the city. Occasionally they shot arrows in the middle of the night and accidentally injured their own sentries. Sometimes they encountered a little rabbit in the thorn bushes outside the city. Move, they shout and prepare for battle,

Such a chaotic scene lasted until a notice was posted on the square in the center of the city.

The empire requires all troops to withdraw from the Western Front,

In the name of a nobleman, his father, who served as a staff officer of the imperial garrison, also withdrew from the front line at that time, but he did not go to the Western Front. Instead, he held a stack of messy reports and looked at a nation with a reputation for being good at war. So much so that he collapsed due to the disastrous defeat and lost all hope. Only two servants accompanied him on foot back to his mansion.

"Danzawa has fallen!"

This was the news that my father brought back. Afterwards, the entire city was enveloped in a deep atmosphere of tranquility and a terrifying state of lonely waiting. Everyone was abandoned by the empire, and everyone felt at a loss in their hearts.

Waiting melancholy for the person who will take over the city

Thinking of the barbecue fork and meat chopping knife in my kitchen, which may be treated as hidden weapons by the Falcon Army who took over, I couldn't help but tremble all over. Life seemed to have stopped, all the shops were closed, and the streets were deserted. The sound is silent, but it makes people hope that the recipient will come soon.

On the afternoon of the second day after the garrison looted the largest store in the city and then retreated in a high-profile manner, three or five black cavalrymen came out of nowhere and hurriedly passed through the city. Then a little later, a whole group of black soldiers drove down the hillside outside the city,

At the same time, two other armies also appeared on the Nadal Road in the city and on the road leading to the forest to the west.

The outpost cavalry of these three units happened to meet at the Municipal Center Square at the same time. Soon, more soldiers wearing black armor came from the nearby streets. One squadron after another, they stepped on the stones on the street with strong and rhythmic footsteps.

"A squadron goes to the west side of the city"

"The Second Squadron is going to the Southern District..." Many commands were shouted out in a strange and hard-tongued voice.

Along the surrounding streets, empty houses that looked like death rose up to the sky,

Although the shutters of the house are closed, there are countless eyes inside peering at these so-called takeovers. These people have great power and have taken over the entire city. and master of all life and property in the city, the inhabitants were frightened and bewildered in their dark houses,

Against the backdrop of the trees on both sides of the street that had just revealed their buds in the spring breeze, the army poured into the city like a black torrent. The soldiers quickly controlled each node in an orderly manner. They were obviously well-trained. Patrol teams densely covered the streets of the city. , so that all those who have the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the situation will cease. Only the cold spear made the Gauls behind the window feel uneasy

Throughout the morning, contrary to everyone's expectations, the occupying forces did not initiate any action.

This left a dead silence in the air. It seemed a bit more terrifying, and the heavy pressure made some timid women collapse, hiding at home and crying softly while hugging their children. This feeling is too much like a precursor to a massacre. In the previous propaganda, the brutal Falcon Army seemed to occupy a city. Just launch the habit of massacre and plunder,

This fear lasted until the afternoon

I heard that the commander of this unit had arrived. Finally, a small number of soldiers were knocking on the door of each house.

"Open the door for routine inspection!"

There was a strange spoken language outside the door. The Gauls opened the corner of the door with a hesitant look. The black soldier who looked like a fierce god handed over a list and asked to fill in all the names of the family members. Then they all Disappeared outside the house door.

This is the act of occupation after invasion. According to my father, who was a military staff officer, the occupiers need to lighten the population and collect any weapons that may exist. After a short time, once the initial terror disappears, a new kind of tranquility emerges. The atmosphere was established again.

The urban area even slowly returned to its normal state because of this.

Gauls generally don't go out early in the morning, but the soldiers of the Falcon Army are constantly walking on the streets early in the morning. Before dawn, you can see the entire team of soldiers shouting slogans and moving in unison. Footsteps moving back and forth,

The only difference is that these cold-looking light cavalry officers in black uniforms drag their long swords down the street and enter nearby taverns and pastry shops. Their attitude towards ordinary residents is much better than those in the past in this country. In the same place, the Gallic officers drinking and eating pastries were much more easy-going.

At least, these Falcon Army soldiers never owed debts or robbed things. Occasionally they got drunk and got into fights. As long as they yelled that the patrol team was coming, they immediately changed from a brave state to a group of drunkards and drunkards fleeing in panic. drunkard

"This is the Falcon Army, a group of ignorant, stupid guys!"

This has become a point of laughter for many Gallic civilians after dinner. In many urban areas, because of the limited military camps, the soldiers of the Falcon Army ate together with their hosts. Occasionally there were some well-educated officers among the officers, and the etiquette they displayed also shocked the Gauls. The initial communication was a little difficult, but as time went by, everyone became acquaintances, although they were not allowed to express themselves to these occupying troops in public places. If you are close, it is still allowed to be polite at home. Therefore, they pretended to be strangers to each other outside the door, but talked happily at home, staying longer every night, and there were many Falcon soldiers warming themselves in front of the same fireplace with the host family.

Today, Linana heard her father say that a mysterious guest would come to her family, and the red-haired officer guarding the carriage happened to be a Falcon Empire man named Luo who was staying at her home during this time. The imperial officer of Sa is not only handsome, but also quite funny.

"I have been to the northernmost tip of the continent. It is a place where even the sea is frozen! We fought under the emperor's undefeated banner and defeated the powerful enemy riding a reindeer chariot! It chilled the entire north. Surrender! We take the battleship directly to the island country of Salander. ." When the family is chatting, this Falcon officer can often become a member of the family with just a few words. focus,

Especially his father. This former staff officer of the Gallic Imperial Army had never actually been on the battlefield, but he was always a man with various aspirations. He could always be heard to be energetic and his eyes were shining, and Rosa never mentioned that he was in the army. Regarding the content of the battle in Gaul, the two seemed to have formed a tacit understanding like friends.

"Creak!"

Linanna saw the black carriage stopped in front of her house. The red-haired Rosa, wearing a strict black military uniform with a conspicuous white thorn flower on her chest, quickly got off the horse. Briskly and respectfully, she opened the door of the black carriage. Under Linana's curious gaze, a slender little foot with a white skirt stretched out from inside.

"Is the person Rosa brought a woman?"

Linana's eyes were a little complicated, but the next moment, her eyes were relieved again, and she secretly muttered, "This woman is so ugly!"

The raindrops hit the glass of the fat man's room, making a gentle slapping sound in the white rain dusk. There was silence. With the Falcon Army fully occupying the entire central city area, the Gauls in the urban area basically gave up resistance. The Falcon Army that entered the urban area received strict orders from His Majesty Falcon. For the areas to be taken over peacefully, it is necessary to minimize the disturbance to the residents. The central urban area is the most prosperous area in the Rusty region and has a dense population.

For an area like this, excessive destruction would do no good for Imperial acceptance, as Governor Rusty complained many times. During the Battle of Southern Rusty, the tactics of setting fire to Akita made the recovery of the southern region very difficult.

Especially in the winter that just passed, even with the aid from the southwest region of the empire, there were many people freezing to death and starving to death in the southern region of Rusty, and there were quite a few people.

The huge garrisons of both sides on this confrontational front have also placed a heavy burden on the Rusti region. Although food is not supplied by the Rusti region, the daily consumption and personnel management of the empire's 200,000 troops have also made Duozelei miserable. He lost his mind, not to mention that the management of the 400,000-strong Gaul army on the opposite side was even more chaotic.

"Your Majesty, Rosa from the fifth team reported that Miss Qianyun has arrived at Sike City in the middle area! She has temporarily settled in a noble's home in the city." A guard came in with the report. Sike City is a distance away from where the fat man is now. A medium-sized city less than 20 miles away from Danzig , is currently stationed by the Fifth Flag Regiment of the Central Army. Danze has just experienced a war, and half of the city has been destroyed. Fatty naturally will not let people see such a dilapidated scene, and Sike City was taken over peacefully, basically maintaining the original appearance of the city. , and urban areas were completely cleared.

"Get ready, we're going to Sike in the afternoon!"

The fat man turned around from the window. He received a letter from the Supervision Department ten days ago. It made Fatty dumbfounded when he said it. The former head of the Dorok Cloud family, Messi Jielin, wrote that because of the Dorok Cloud, Clouds and northern mugwort However, the reputation of the organization has plummeted. Although expenses have been streamlined, the huge personnel and consumption still make the Dorok Cloud weaken day by day. Originally, Messi Jielin was forced to abdicate, and she was frustrated and unwilling to take care of it anymore. Such a thing,

However, he couldn't bear the persuasion of some elders in the family. Although the current head of the family, Messi Angeli, was the mastermind behind Messi Jielin's abdication, at this time, he also expressed his willingness to give up his position as head of the family.

Messijelin finally compromised. Messijelin knew very well that under the influence of the powerful giant tree of the Falcon Empire, Dorok Cloud still insisted on being isolated from the empire's power structure. The final result would be complete die,

She proposed to Fatty that on the condition that Dorok Cloud completely give up control of the northern Airei region, she hoped that Fatty would allow Dorok Cloud's forces to enter Obarro and voluntarily become part of the imperial intelligence network.

For such a good thing, Fatty really has no reason to refuse. The northern Airey region is the core of Northern Dorok. Due to the limitations of the original treaty, the empire does not have control over the northern Airley region. This also leads to the empire’s control over the northern Airley region. The control over the northern part of Dorok has been greatly weakened. If Airey is returned to the empire, the empire will complete full control of the entire Dorok. It will take less than ten years to complete the assimilation of the Dorok people.

Mexijielin is one of the leading dancers in the empire, and the natural way to enter the Obaro region is through a dance performance group. Now the northwest and southwest areas of Obaro are already as one with the mainland of the empire.

Fatty knew that once the news that Messi Jielin's dance troupe was coming to Obarro for a tour got out, it would be like a bomb dropped into the northwest and southwest districts.

Nowadays, these two areas are crowded with wealthy businessmen, and there are a lot of fans of Messi Jieline.

And this time, it is rumored that not only the dance master Messi Jielin is coming, but also his little lover, the tulle flower who is known as the peerless voiceless voice, and the one who has encountered this once. It is rumored that among the top ten beauties in the empire, the least appearance is Messi Jianli’s sister, Messi Jianli, who has been seen by people, will also participate in the tour for the first time.

Three of the top ten beauties came out at once. The lineup of this performance group was powerful enough to make the Obaro area controlled by the empire excited.

In Fatty's eyes, this was a major invasion of the Ikadiva continent culture on the Obaro region, which greatly promoted the assimilation of the empire in the Obaro region. After all, the Falcon Empire had completed its initial strategic goals and could no longer appear in an image of brutality and using fists to reason. The necessary packaging and dilution was a necessary process for the empire to be gradually recognized by the Obaro people.
