Realm of Power

"What a beautiful shot from behind." King Fei Shan stood up and took a deep breath. He seemed to be stimulated by something. His old and deep gray eyes suddenly became aggressive, as if a dust-covered sword had been wiped and exposed. "Edge" Your Majesty, What's wrong? "Baton'er's face was confused. His Majesty's unusually heavy expression was more disturbing than the cold wind and rain outside. "Look at this!" King Feishan handed the report to Baton'er, condensing. He said in a loud voice, “I originally expected to be able to give By forcing the Empire to the negotiating table, it seems that he underestimated his opponent. "This!" After reading the report, Patton was shocked and took a deep breath. How could this be possible? The Empire had already unknowingly done so. The Eastern Province was opened in time, which means that Before the real war broke out, the empire had already surrounded Fei Shan from three directions. Especially the attack from the Eastern Province, the throat-sealing sword and the stab in the back, completely trapped Fei Shan. The situation was stretched to the extreme and I could no longer take care of it.

\u003c; Fei Shan's troops have been deployed on the two fronts. Now where are the troops to fight on the third line? The biggest problem is that the troops deployed on the two fronts have been fixed. Under huge pressure, they have been in a stalemate with the emperor on the opposite side for some time. , at this time, not to mention the sudden request for evacuation, even a slight movement will cause turmoil in the entire defense line. For a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, both sides are like gladiators. The result of the shield deviating from the chest is death. ! ,

"Where did the empire get so many troops? This is still far away from the mainland. If it is on the mainland, then it is not directly...!" Patton expressed doubts and uncertainty about this. If this report is not with His Majesty the King, When he sees it, he will definitely think that this is a piece of false information, because it is really unreasonable. This is not the empire's homeland, even if the imperial navy has the advantage in the sea area. It can transport troops, but transporting troops by sea and land transportation are completely different things. Even if all the transport ships of the Falcon Empire are counted, it is very good if it can transport 50,000 at a time. How could it launch another attack in the direction of the Eastern Province? Wire? "

"It should be the troops on the coast!"

King Feishan's eyes were indeed vicious. Just by relying on this report, he was able to clearly see the mobilization of the empire's troops. "It's like stacking building blocks. Pull out the building blocks on the coast and ship them to the east." Province, and only the troops on the coast can be undetected by us. With such a large-scale arrival in the Eastern Province, it’s no wonder that the emperor doesn’t have much to do on the coast, because the troops on the coast have been transferred to the Eastern Province!” A huge banner was set with a kingdom as the target of encirclement. It was only at this time that it was revealed that it was indeed the first empire in the entire continent with its handiwork and strength! "King Feishan sighed gloomily. He tried his best and spent twenty years hiding in hiding. Step by step, he led the old enemy Istan into a trap, and finally killed the emperor of Istan and defeated the old enemy Istan. , I thought that this was Fei Shan’s best opportunity to establish Obalo’s eastern hegemony, but why did he encounter such an immortal monster like Falcon Emperor!

"Your Majesty, we have the 19th Corps on the border of Istan, and the Helena Barrier has fallen. I'm afraid Newlon won't be able to hold on for long." Battener explained to King Feishan with an ugly face, "Even if we draw troops from both fronts now, I'm afraid..." Butun'er's voice stopped,

"We still have troops!" King Feishan was silent for a while. Looking at the map hanging on the wall, he groaned, "Don't forget, all the corps in the country have been mobilized, but there are only two corps that have not received the order to mobilize. Originally, I was planning to use this as the last resort." It seems that the time has come to use the reserves for the decisive battle!"

"Your Majesty is talking about the two private regiments under the command of Duke Pastanon!" Batonier's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly became excited. Yes, there are indeed troops that have not been mobilized. Feishan mobilized all his troops on two fronts, but at the beginning Just as Duke Pastanon, who was in opposition to the Ministry of Military Affairs, did not receive the transfer order, the same The two private regiments under Duke Pastanon, with a total of 40,000 well-equipped soldiers, have not received combat orders from the Ministry of Military Affairs. They are now stationed in Kawuzi, less than 200 miles away from Nulon. If But for King Feishan to suddenly mention it, Baton'er had almost forgotten about it! No wonder His Majesty the King expressed his tacit approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs' idle use of Pastanon. It turned out that he had already planned to guard against Istanbul.

"Give orders to Pastanon"

King Feishan walked to the front of the map and pointed at a point. "In order to maintain the pressure on the coast, Di Neng will not invest too many assault troops. The other side should have the idea of ​​​​penetrating our defense line in one go. Is this the only way?" , can force We have to withdraw our troops from the other two fronts to gain a chance for the decisive battle on the other two fronts. However, it would be too naive to think that we can win surely in this way. Just 40,000 versus 40,000. The falcon also takes a look, the victory of the war If you don't fight until the last moment, who will win is still uncertain about the fate of the country! ""Yes" Button'er looked serious, stood at attention, and respectfully saluted the old man in front of him. Facing the hungry wolf-like Falcon Empire, he faced Pressing down like a mountain on hundreds of thousands Under the imperial army, the Gallic Empire was destroyed, the Gangfei Empire collapsed, the Hungarians asked themselves to be slaves, and the Barro countries in Central Europe surrendered and bowed their heads. Only the old man in front of me was still holding on, "Now that he has occupied the Eastern Province It’s cheap, so you have to bear the trouble!”

King Feishan's voice paused, and there was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth. "You ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs to come. I will announce this news to the entire Obaro. The Eastern Province of the Istan Empire has secretly surrendered to the Falcon Empire. It will definitely be very serious." Interesting! ""Does this work? "

Baton'er blinked his eyes when he heard this, and was puzzled. The Falcon Empire was now at its peak. The whole Obarro was changed by hearing this. Not to mention secretly taking refuge, it was the Eastern Province of Istan that had been taken over openly and openly. What can be done?

Now that Istanbul and Kyoto cannot protect themselves, how can they care about the affairs of this remote province? It is estimated that unless the Falcon Empire really hits the door of Kyoto, these Istani people will really react! His Majesty the King takes this news so seriously. Is it really useful?

"You don't understand some things, so no wonder you have such thoughts! This news is more useful than you think." King Feishan shook his head and said every word with a calm expression. "The situation within the Istan Empire is very complicated. Kyoto is weak, the emperor's position is undecided, and the region is weak. The princes are either waiting and waiting, or they are ambitious and waiting for the opportunity. Even if they cannot become the emperor, they can still get more benefits and higher status with this opportunity, or they are shaken in their hearts and hope that if Kyoto is unable to control it, they will The power of the princes of a place can stand on their own.”

King Feishan's voice paused, and his tone was fierce. "It is precisely because of this that the Eastern Province secretly surrendered to the Falcon Empire. This is something that Istan Kyoto must face squarely, because if it invests in the Eastern Province If other countries turn a blind eye to such betrayal, then Where is the prestige of Kyoto? It won't be long before the Istan Empire will fall apart! In order to save the danger, Istan Kyoto will definitely take action. The Istan people will definitely go to war against the Falcon Empire again. In this case, the situation will be different. will turn out to be beneficial to us"

"Your Majesty is saying that we can use the help of the Istan people to give the Falcon Empire a blow in the back!"

Baton'er suddenly realized, yes, with the help of the Istan people. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it is enough to force the Istan Empire to declare war on the Falcon Empire! "What a chaotic situation! Barton couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. The Falcon Empire surrounded Fei Shan on three sides, and Fei Shan took the opportunity to blackmail the Istan Empire to start another war against the Falcon Empire. It was like starting a war without spending a single soldier. If we form a front, we will always be stronger than the current situation!

One day later, news came out that the emperor broke into Feishan from the Eastern Province of the Istan Empire. There was an uproar in the Obaro region. This joke was a bit big. The first reaction of the monarchs of various countries to this news was whether the Feshan people had gone crazy because of the excessive pressure. The Eastern Province was a region of the Istan Empire, and Istan Kyoto is still having trouble negotiating with the Falcon Empire. Could it be that the two countries have already reached some kind of coded agreement? The negotiation is just a cover-up.

Isn't this a bit too insidious? The monarchs of various countries can't help but make all kinds of slander and speculation in their hearts, but isn't this the attitude between countries?

As follow-up news came out again, the Eastern Province of the Istan Empire had actually secretly joined the Falcon Empire. It had the same effect as a frying pan. What was going on? The monarchs took such news and didn't know it for a long time. The law should come over, and then the intelligence personnel from all parties will be scolded bloody.

There weren't even any signs of such a big event! After raising so many people and spending so much money, did they raise a group of pigs with a degraded sense of smell? The Falcon Empire is at war with Feishan, so why did they capture the Eastern Province of Istanbul again? Isn't the Governor of the Eastern Province Hayera the wild boar who is the confidant of the Emperor of Istan and ranks first in combat effectiveness? Why did he become the governor of the empire in the blink of an eye? The confused eyes of the entire continent suddenly focused on the Eastern Province of the Istan Empire. Does the Eastern Province belong to the Istan Empire? Or from the Falcon Empire? Fei Shan was vomiting her bitterness. The Falcon Empire was despicable. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Falcon Empire firmly denied that this was not the case. Istanbul and Kyoto expressed shock. How could it be possible?

The countries are even more confused and confused.

Hayela, the governor of the Eastern Province, who was the core figure of the whole incident, suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. While the governor was seriously ill and recuperating, he could not see the wind or outsiders. Hayela, who was wearing a black dress in the governor's palace, The manager, apologetically stopped the special envoy from Kyoto, Istanbul, "I am the special envoy from Kyoto." Envoy, can he be considered a foreigner! "The body of this Istanbul envoy to Kyoto was trembling, and his face was gloomier than the dark clouds outside, but the cold look of the butler and the cold and piercing gazes of the soldiers around him made Dongfangxing The rumor that the province secretly fell into the arms of the Falcon Empire made him feel more certain in his heart.

But he couldn't figure out why, why Hayera betrayed the Istan Empire,

In his aloof mind, you Ha Yala is just a humble wilderness man who was gifted by the former emperor to steal such a high position. It is not an exaggeration to call him a national thief. The emperor lived and died, and as a military minister, you actually You don’t even have the slightest expression, which is even more disgraceful, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince still tries his best to win over you regardless of past grudges. , even breaking the rules of the empire and granting a marquis and a fief to a wilderness man despite the opposition of most people. This is definitely the biggest exception in the Istan Empire for hundreds of years. It is a favor that you, Hayera, will never be able to repay in your lifetime. Two generations. Your Majesty and your ministers have shown great kindness to you, Hayala. How can they not exchange for allowing you to defend the barrier of the Eastern Province of the Empire? How dare you betray me. It’s so abominable, the vulgar wilderness people are just wilderness people, how can they know how to repay the gratitude?” The Falcon Empire has fallen into disgrace, and the Feishan people who are laughing at the joke, you are waiting. “Get on the waiting carriage and close the door heavily. This Kyoto The envoy's angry face was like burning coals, and he was unwilling to stay in the Eastern Province for a moment. The Istan Empire had declined, but it was not to the point of tolerating such naked humiliation, just like the Falcon Empire paddling on the Feishan coast. A huge bloody cross emerged. Then the Eastern Province is another huge blood cross carved on the face of the Istan Empire.

Ten days later,

Kargus, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs in charge of border security in Kyoto, resigned from the second prince. Hashluluwu, who had always been regarded as a confidant by the second prince, took over the Ministry of Military Affairs and replaced Kargus, with the 27-year-old At this age, he became the youngest deputy minister of military affairs in the history of the Istan Empire, and suddenly became a hot and dazzling figure in Kyoto.

There are even rumors that the youngest deputy minister of military affairs will once again set the record as the youngest minister of military affairs in the Istanbul Empire at the moment when the second prince waits to ascend to the throne of the emperor. This was mainly due to the rebellion of Hayera, an important minister of the Istanbul military, which caused the military, which had a tough attitude towards His Highness the Second Prince, to be forced to relent at this time. Maybe the fat man did not expect it. His move to win over Hayera inadvertently pushed the local faction of the Istan Empire to cross a difficult hurdle for imperial power.

"The empire is in such a difficult situation and the country is so powerful. It will not help to bring out the defeated wars one by one to apologize." The military was convinced, and the second prince of the Istan Empire was also eager to devote considerable time and energy to rectification. internal affairs and consolidate its own power, but in response to the betrayal of the Eastern Province, Beijing They still declared the Eastern Province to be rebellious, but they never mentioned the large-scale battle with the fate of the country as a bet. It's not that Istanbul and Kyoto don't want to fight, but the powerful guns of the Falcon Empire Navy are squatting at the gate of Kyoto. , who dares to move, who dares to shout, "Tell me, His Majesty Falcon has been prepared for this day!"

Navy Minister Dostelenko looked deeply at the gorgeous dome of Kyoto in the distance. The Imperial Navy had been staying here for a week, and the negotiations between the two parties had not made much progress. Dostelenko, who was already thirty years old, The face that he was born with added a haze of sorrow and the majesty of a ruler. "It's hard to say, because from a time perspective, the time when the Imperial Navy landed in the Eastern Province was right after we set off," the adjutant said behind him, "Well, so we still have some time to spend here!" Durst Lun Kai sighed with a blank look on his face. It must have been more than a month since he left the Admiralty. Time has really flown by. "It's fast." Your Excellency is really worried about Badur." The adjutant smiled slightly. He still knew a little about his superior's thoughts. Navy sailors worshiped and feared Dustelenko like a military god. Being an important minister of the empire is enough to own a gorgeous mansion and all the luxuries, but life is really too shabby. It was just a small courtyard with no special entourage. Only a sixty-year-old deacon and his wife took care of the trivial matters around him. This was brought from the Falcon family.

In addition, he also has a "cohabitant". "Badur" is not a person, but a Dalmatian, and you can tell he is an old dog at first glance.

Last spring, before the war between the Empire and the Congolese Navy became more intense, one day after dining out, Dostronkai stepped back onto the stairs of the Navy Building. When he was about to enter the door, the guard raised his hand to salute, but his face was filled with confusion. Has a strange expression. He looked back and saw a thin, dirty old dog following him closely. Probably trying to please others, his weak tail slowly waggled.

"Why is this dog here?" the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, who was famous for his ruthlessness, asked casually. When the guard saw his emotionless gaze, his expression was extremely nervous and embarrassing.

"Report! Well...isn't it your beloved dog?..."

"Oh? Does he look like my dog?" Dustelenko was a little surprised.

"No, isn't it?" The guard was sweating profusely in embarrassment.

"Really? Does it look like my dog?" Dustrenkai asked again. Looking at this old dog, an inexplicable feeling of emotion rushed to his heart. Well, if there is really no owner, then it is mine! Dustrenkai nodded. So from that day on, this nameless old dog officially became a member of the family of the Imperial Navy Minister. Although this old dog was a stray dog ​​picked up and had nothing special, it only ate cooked bird meat. Therefore, even the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, who could always order the bombardment of the city ruthlessly, would occasionally go to the butcher shop in the middle of the night to buy bird meat to feed it. "Sir, why not take Badur over? It's just a matter of sending a ship! It won't take long to get here from the Navy Headquarters!" The adjutant suggested excitedly from behind, "Okay, let's stop here. If I send the navy for a dog, how can I face those soldiers who fought bloody battles for the Empire? Dustrenkai glared at him, (To be continued...)
