Realm of Power

Under the horses' hooves was Gangfei. Seeing the panicked Gangfei army in disarray, the army horn sounded and the imperial infantry slowly advanced like a wall. The two wings of the empire, Jagrins and Reposti, led some of the elite central army into the southern part of Ruilan to block the Hungarians' possible attack line. The fat man immediately started to finish off the remnants of the Gangfei Empire. Although the auction held in the empire ended hastily, the presence of forces from all over Gangfei had already shown that it was time for the empire to harvest the fruit of Gangfei. The time was ripe, and the change in the war situation that the Hungarians might swallow up Ruila at any time finally made the fat man determined to swallow up Gangfei as quickly as possible, so that the army could enter Ruila without worries to fight the Hungarians. At the same time that the two central army troops entered the southern part of Ruila, the empire used Varisien's 50,000 southern troops as the vanguard, mobilized part of the central army, and the guards totaling 110,000 people began to encircle Gangfei. Along the way, the imperial army pointed to the governors of the six provinces of Gangfei and expressed their willingness to leave the Gangfei Dynasty and become the ministers of the empire. These garrisons of the Gangfei Dynasty either came alone or brought a large group of followers. Varisien, as the vanguard of the army, was the focus of these Gangfei governors. Varisien himself was naturally a master of acting. He had played undercover in Putao before, but now it seems. He sighed too early, and the governors and dignitaries of the remaining Gangfei dynasties were much smarter than himself. They showed a high degree of loyalty to the empire. They swore to the heavens and the sun that they would never reconcile with their former master, the eight-year-old Emperor of Gangfei. They even staged a good show of cutting their wrists and swearing an oath with blood.

Varisien felt speechless when he saw it. Although he did not think that these governors of Gangfei were loyal and reliable, he did not make any promises casually. He was now a governor of a high-powered area, holding military and political power, and therefore had a clearer view of the empire's foreign expansion policy. The empire could naturally accept these governors of Gangfei, but the premise was that they had to see enough sincerity.

In the past, when he was just an ordinary deputy legion commander, he could speak unscrupulously, but now he is the governor of the joint region of Putao and Gangfei South. In terms of the size of the territory, it is no less than that controlled by several other military leaders. In terms of geographical location, as an important official who guarded the entrance to the inland sea on behalf of the empire, he was the focus of the empire's inland sea strategy. His Majesty the Falcon had already given him the southern part of Gangfei. He would never give him the six provinces of the Gangfei Dynasty. In this situation, if he speaks out his venomous tongue, rumors will spread that "Governor Varisien can make decisions on behalf of His Majesty." Isn't this asking for his own death?

However, what reassured him was that His Majesty the Falcon agreed to allow him to take in and prepare the regional armies that had surrendered to the governors, and said that the Empire still agreed to let these governors serve as regional sheriffs in their original regions because of the sincerity of the governors of all parties. The news came out that hundreds of thousands of local troops from the six provinces of Gangfei arrived at Varisien's camp, and no governor of the Gangfei region thought that the Empire was deceiving them. Because in terms of recruiting surrenders and rebellions, the Falcon Empire's record is really too good. The Falcon Empire covers thousands of miles and has destroyed countless countries. There has never been a record of not fulfilling the promises made, and the governors of Gangfei do not think that the Falcon Empire needs to lower its posture to deceive itself under the pressure of the 110,000 imperial troops. It is precisely this cold attitude now. It is the attitude that a truly great empire should have.

In the early morning of May 26th. The Governor's Mansion of Bapalun Province, which has been occupied by the Falcon Emperor. Passersby who got up early were surprised to find that the city was a little different today. Civilians were restricted from going out in the city. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps on the street. At every intersection, patrolling black-armored soldiers stood, watching the passers-by indifferently.

The streets around the Governor's Mansion were even more heavily guarded. Three streets away. An emperor had erected a red warning sign that said "No Passing". Within the cordon, officers wearing dark black military coats stood on both sides of the street like nails, and the atmosphere was solemn. At about nine o'clock in the morning, a long team of horses drove into the city from outside, and the red cloaks behind the black cavalrymen who led the way were rolling. The long team lined up in a winding line and headed straight for the Governor's Mansion.

In the open space in front of the Governor's Mansion. There were crowds of people. The shoulder straps of senior officers dazzled people's eyes. In this small open space, the governors and senior generals of the six Congfei provinces of Witte, Terencia, Congmut, Yassin, Bit, Dama, and Kulan, which originally belonged to the Congfei Dynasty, were all here. The senior officers stood upright like a forest. No one spoke. No one discussed. The place where hundreds of people gathered was so quiet that no sound could be heard. The officers stood upright. Their expressions were serious. There was even a hint of worry.

"Here they come!"

The black cavalry queue appeared at the street corner in front, and the emperor's white thorn flower family emblem was clearly visible, and the waiting crowd suddenly began to commotion. They whispered, "The white thorn flower, that is the family emblem of the Emperor of the Falcon Empire!" When a guard opened the car door and a fat young man jumped out of the carriage, everyone's eyes were focused. On to him. No introduction is needed, even the governor who has never met him can recognize his identity. His youth is shocking, and his clothes are not very gorgeous. He is wearing a dark imperial uniform and a black cavalry cloak of the Guards. . In the wind, the broad cloak was fluttering, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly. The most powerful person in Obaro, a young face with black hair and black eyes, a slightly raised chin, set off the black cloak, surrounded by officials. appears very conspicuous. Shocking.

He glanced at everyone and frowned slightly. The young man's gaze was as sharp as a sword, "I've kept you waiting for so long!" Overwhelmed by the majesty of this young man, they didn't need anyone's command at all. The governors all knelt down in excitement, "See your Majesty Falcon!"

"Everyone, get up. Since you are standing here today, you will be the ministers of my empire in the future." The fat man glanced at everyone and said calmly, "You are able to wake up in time and avoid a catastrophe. This is just a blessing." , everyone is here. Let’s go in.”

The venue for this meeting was set up in the auditorium of the Governor's Palace. A huge golden falcon flag hangs on the blue wall behind the main stage. The imperial guards with imperial swords on their waists stood at the door, their red-lined and black-bottomed cloaks draped from their shoulders to the ground, and a chilling aura of warriors and soldiers came to their faces.

Salon sat on the left, and Varician sat on the right. The fat man looked around at everyone on the main seat, and said to the several Governors of Ganfei, "This is the first time for you sirs to meet each other. I think everyone should introduce themselves first." ”

"Your Majesty Hula. I serve as the governor of Terencia. Today I have the opportunity to see His Majesty for the first time. I am deeply honored!" A stout man stood up first. Salute to the fat man

"Your Majesty, Linganaar. I serve as the Governor of Yasin. It is an honor to meet His Majesty. The soldiers and civilians of Yasin Province are willing to die for His Highness!" A middle-aged soldier who was thin but energetic

"Your Majesty, Sylvie, serves as Governor of Warren. Please allow me to express the sincerest love of our province's military and civilians for Your Majesty, and to be able to become a member of the empire. I am deeply honored!" The governors stood up one by one and said to them one after another. The fat man expressed his allegiance.

The fat man said slowly, "Talents like you are what the empire needs most. Everyone, if you join the empire today, the empire will also give you a future, but this future will depend on your efforts. I believe that you have Loyalty, I believe that even the king of Gang Fei can become king in one day..."

The fat man's voice paused, it was deep and powerful, making people's eardrums hurt. Among the Governors of Gangfei, there were many people with military backgrounds. Hearing the sound that was like exploding in his ears, his body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes. They all said that the Emperor of the Falcon Empire was not only a military god. Famous, his personal martial arts skills have reached the level of being invincible in the mainland. I originally thought it was an exaggeration used by the Falcon Empire to exaggerate, but now it seems that it is not the case! After a bit of shock. The governors also felt a sense of panic;

The first one among the governors to stand up was Boqix of Couran Province. He was not tall, but his voice was surprisingly loud. He said loudly, "The Kuran Province is willing to send 15,000 troops, who are the vanguard of the imperial army!" A low buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the venue. The strength of the Kuran province is only moderate among the six Congo provinces. The limit of 15,000 troops in one breath is already the limit. Boqix, an old fox, spared no effort to win the favor of his new master. "Boqix, your Kuran Province can provide 15,000 troops." ? No remaining troops?" The fat man looked a little surprised.

"Your Majesty. Although my subordinates are stupid, they also know that the eggs will not be destroyed when the nest is overthrown. As long as the empire wins, then Kuran Province will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. If the war luck is not good and the main force is defeated. Even if the Kuran Province has full combat power They are all here, but it doesn't help. The country must be the first to have a home! It is very important, but the survival of the country is above all else. At this critical moment, I will sacrifice my family for the sake of the empire!" Boqix said with great righteousness, and his words were loud and clear. The other governors were horrified that they could say such hypocritical words so confidently. Bochikos is determined to kill the little emperor for his new master! "Haha, Lord Boqix's loyalty is indeed commendable!"

The fat man smiled slightly and played with the quill in his hand. He asked the governors of Gangfei to send troops to attack the king of Gangfei just on his whim. If these governors who wanted to join the empire did not show the determination to make a clean break with their old masters, they would not be able to do it. May truly trust them at this point Come on, this Bocksqi is a smart man. He expressed his position so resolutely. No matter what the final result is, he can be regarded as occupying a position in the heart of his empire. After hesitating for a while, two more governors stood up. Expressing his willingness to send troops to attack the capital of Gangfei for the empire,

"Any more?"

The fat man glanced at the other three Governor Gangfei who were still hesitating. His deep eyes exuded a strong murderous aura and instantly shocked the Governor. His eyes were as sharp and cold as a blade.

"this"

Under his gaze. Even the most cunning governor has the chill of being seen through. It is as towering and uncontestable as facing the mountains. The governors could not think of resistance at all. The three governors were pale and struggling. It was one thing to surrender to the Falcon Empire, but it was another thing for them to attack the King of Gangfei. The first was to surrender to the new master. Most people in Gangfei could understand that. Weak, the country's power has come to an end, and the general stockholders who hold the power of one party We have no choice but to defect to the Falcon Empire, but turning our guns to attack the royal capital is an act of despicable treason. Once we step out of it, we will never recover." In this case, I will not force others to do anything. Attacking the royal capital is entirely voluntary! "The fat man showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He said quietly, "But Sir Boqix is ​​commendable for his loyalty and forgets his own interests for the sake of public service. His concern for the overall situation is touching. From today on, Sir Boqix will be promoted to deputy commander of the battle against Gangfei. The rank is consistent with the empire." The commanders of the central army flag regiment are equal. This battle is over. According to the combat performance, the empire still has important uses. !" "Wow" There was a sound of gasping in the conference hall. The commander-in-chief of the battle against Gangfei was Varisien. Even he couldn't help but tighten his fingers when he heard this appointment, let alone other people. , the commander of the Central Army Flag Corps of the Falcon Emperor, who is not a famous general.

Hearing that Bokoschi had gained a legitimate and important position in the military, the eyes of the other non-governors immediately turned red, and the envy in their eyes was like blazing flames. They were still just regional magistrates, and they were not as important as this one. There is a huge difference between the deputy commander of Gang Fei's operations. That is a position at the level of commander of the central army flag regiment of the empire. If he is placed in the local army, he will almost be the deputy commander of the army. Moreover, His Majesty Falcon personally promised that he will be reused after the war. That was almost a sure sign that he was going to reach the top of the empire's power hierarchy. Everyone was still wallowing in the role of regional magistrate. This guy turned around and entered the most powerful senior military position in the Falcon Empire. This is too unfair!

"Yasin Province is willing to send 7,000 troops!" A tall governor said through gritted teeth.

"Warren Province is willing to send five thousand troops."

"The province of Witte is willing to send 8,000 troops. In addition, it will bring 1,700 cavalry." The other governors promised loudly. Putting it all together, the total strength was actually 40,000 to 50,000. It looked like he was ready to turn around and attack the capital of Gangfei, letting his new master take a good look at his loyalty!

Boxi was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. He knelt on his knees, lowered his head deeply to the ground, and burst into tears. "Your Majesty loves me so much. I can only repay you by being shattered to pieces!"

"The empire will never treat its meritorious ministers unfairly." The fat man helped Bocksqi up, his eyes full of praise, as if he had determined that this person was a star of the empire's future generals. Although this guy had poor character, How about it, but the ability to observe what is happening is good, and the empire wants to destroy the Gang as quickly as possible. Fei, but also without hurting the foundation of the army, the best way is to let the people of Gangfei destroy Gangfei by themselves. You must know that killing one's own people is often more brutal and destructive than killing the enemy. This can be done in one fell swoop Destroying Gangfei will completely deplete the strength of the six provinces of Gangfei. It will be much easier to clean up again.

"Let's start arranging combat missions now." The fat man walked towards the map that had been arranged on the wall and shouted "Varisien!"

"I'm here!" Varisien stood up with a cold expression and responded loudly.

"The three cities on the outskirts of Gangfei's capital are handed over to you. I order your 50,000 troops to clear out the outskirts within three days..."

"I obey my orders!"

"Salon!"

The burly figure Salon stood up from his seat and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are here!"

"You lead 20,000 southwestern troops into the pass on the left side of the Gangfei Royal Capital. Cut off the connection between the Gangfei Royal Capital and other areas."

"As you command!"

"Deputy Commander Bockschi!"

"I'm here!" Bocksqi's eyes were red, his head held high, and he also imitated the reply of the imperial minister just now.

"You lead the troops from each province to respond. And use them as frontline reserves."

"Reserve team? Your Majesty, I appreciate this care, but I still insist on being the vanguard of the army and occupying the city of Gangfei Royal Capital for the empire!" Bocksqi said with confidence on his face.

"Yeah, what's the point of being a reserve? If you want to be the vanguard of the army!" several governors said one after another.

"Everyone, once the general attack is launched, the capital of Gangfei must be captured within one day. This is no joke. Do you have such confidence?" The fat man looked at him with sharp eyes, and placed the provincial soldiers in the reserve team. Naturally, this is for the governors of Gangfei. I have made it very clear that the performance in this battle will be used as a consideration for the future promotion of these governors of Gangfei. In order to live a better life in the future, these governors will fight to the death. People's hearts are so delicate. If the fat man asked the provincial army to be the frontline suicide squad from the beginning, these governors may not dare to Resisting his own orders, but there is a high possibility that he will not contribute to the work. Now that he is provoked by himself, he immediately asks for the initiative.

"I can't say I'm confident, but with our understanding of the defense of Gangfei Capital, we may be able to capture Gangfei Capital within a day!" Boxchi answered loudly with a resolute look, and the other governors nodded. They have complicated relations with Gangfei Capital, and everyone has one or two familiar family allies. Gangfei is about to fall, and they don't believe that those family allies will sit and wait for death. At that time, they only need to make some intentions on their side, and the other side will definitely take action. With the cooperation of inside and outside, it is not a problem to break through the gate of Gangfei Capital. After all, it is no longer a powerful empire dominating the western coast of Obarro. The total strength of the entire Gangfei Capital is only about 30,000.

"Okay, I promise you! The provincial legion will be the vanguard in this battle!" The fat man nodded solemnly. At this moment, an imperial guard hurriedly walked in and whispered in the fat man's ear, "Your Majesty, the woman has spoken, she wants to see you!" (To be continued...)
