Realm of Power

The news that the Imperial Navy had bombarded Luansock at night had reached Lisbonto before the sky was completely clear. The southernmost point of the Empire was only more than ten miles away from Luansock. The cannons of the Imperial Navy fleet shook the sea. In the dead darkness, don't say it's only ten miles, it's thirty miles You can also hear it, not to mention that Luansock Port was exploded into a huge fireworks, and the flames dyed the sky on the horizon red. Anyone who is not blind can see the burning clouds in the distant sky, and There is a constant flash of red light, like a flash of thunder on a rainy night,

"What's that?"

Countless Imperial people were awakened by the sound of cannons on the sea. Everyone rushed to the heights of the city and looked across the sea in the direction of Luansock.

The ships docked at the port were also filled with densely packed people. Everyone stared dumbfounded at the horrific scene across the sea that was like a natural disaster. No one gnawed or forgot to speak. All they could see was the wide sea. Imperial warships lay horizontally one after another, and rows of fire flickered between the warships, like stars in the sky twinkling, and the white smoke was like a layer of white mist that was miles long on the sea.

"How spectacular! Are those stars on the sea?"

A child sat on the neck of a middle-aged man, looking at the scene in the distance, dancing and making his eyes bright. For the child, the scene in front of him was much more lively than a festival. "Yes, those are stars!" "

His father said with a smile, his eyes glanced over, and his face was not so pretty. As an adult, and also the head of intelligence of a certain country in the Falcon Empire, he naturally knew what he was seeing! It was a spectacular sight of the bombardment of the Imperial fleet. The Imperial fleet was shelling Luansok! this. :../…What the hell is going on! The middle-aged man's gray-blue pupils, which have been blown by the sea breeze all year round, are now completely occupied by the firelight, and his hands are clenched together unconsciously. It's terrible! Everyone knew that the Imperial Navy fleet had the ability to bombard the land, and had even bombarded the imperial capital of the Confederate Empire, but after all, that was only a rumor that was released after reaching many people.

Who dares to say that it was not a smoke bomb released by the Imperial Navy in order to frighten other countries with force. Based on my many years of experience at sea, I think it is mostly exaggerated. The Imperial Navy does have bombardment capabilities, but the damage it can cause should be quite limited.

I lurked in the southernmost city of the empire this time because I thought that with the convenience of being close to the entrance to the inland sea, I could observe the Imperial Navy warships at close range in a majestic way. At the same time, I have a reasonable assessment of the true combat power of the Imperial Navy warships. Unfortunately, after staying in this city for almost half a year, I saw more than a hundred Imperial Navy warships, and even figured out the firepower configuration of some Imperial Navy warships. But the most core thing has never been achieved.

The Imperial Navy warships are very tightly guarded. The warships can be seen, but cannot get close. Not to mention how powerful the Navy Thor is when it is actually launched, because there is no such chance. The Strand Navy has collapsed. Who dares to provoke the Falcon Empire Navy now?

Without knowing the power of the naval thunder god, it is impossible to evaluate the combat power of the imperial navy, let alone those several times that determined the entire situation in the inland sea. The rumors are heart-stirring and the grand naval decisive battle. The ultimate showdown between the Imperial Navy, which was still an invader, and tens of thousands of sailors fighting. How can ordinary people see a crazy battle involving more than a hundred main warships?

But tonight, he saw it. When the cruel reality was in front of him, the middle-aged man's heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The conclusion of the evaluation of the Imperial Navy's combat power had been written very clearly in his mind, but he himself was unwilling to admit it. , the conclusion of shelling the imperial capital of Gangfei is true and reliable, in the inland sea area. , as long as the empire is willing, the force of the Imperial Navy is enough to destroy any port city. The number of Imperial Navy warships on the sea is about twenty to thirty, which is consistent with the size of a squadron, and such a squadron is only lightly With a single stroke, under the horizon and sky of Luansok, which is as red as blood in the distance, there is a scene of hell on earth, "What power is this!"

The middle-aged man felt a little bitter about being powerless. Although there were still more than ten miles of sea and black sea, every time a row of fire shot out from the side of the battleship, and a rumbling sound came later, the middle-aged man Everyone could feel the overwhelming heat. On the evening of May 30th, Luansock, the largest port in the southern Feize Kingdom, was attacked. The Imperial Navy bombarded the entire port, causing more than 3,000 casualties. On the same night, armed conflicts broke out in more than a dozen ports in the southern part of the Inland Sea due to commercial disputes. The Imperial Navy almost immediately appeared in the waters outside these areas where conflicts broke out. In a tense atmosphere, seemingly overnight, the Imperial Navy declared war on the entire southern coast!

The red-spire Lisbonto Business Alliance hall was crowded with businessmen, and the sound of discussion echoed in the hall. Today is the last moment to perform the contract. No matter how unwilling the businessmen are, they must fulfill the contract after signing it, otherwise they will spend countless dollars. The grade that was mentioned with so much effort is affected, not only All efforts will be in vain, and the huge liquidated damages will make you bankrupt. If you hand over the goods, at least the grade will be preserved. It will take a while and there will be room for recovery. "Have you heard that the Imperial Navy bombarded Lu Ansuo last night? K!” one businessman whispered next to another businessman. I heard about it, but I don’t know if it’s true! “The businessman nodded and looked around.” But think about it, the six southern countries attacked the emperor in the Istan Empire. I didn’t expect that the empire would retaliate. So fast "" fast is for sure, isn't that the style of the empire? The six countries are not satisfied with the empire. After declaring war, the empire simply retaliated with tit-for-tat. It was also an undeclared war. At least the six-nation coalition still managed to cover up the fig leaf of aiding the Istanbul Empire. The empire did not even use the fig leaf and directly attacked the six southern nations. Pioneer Feize performs surgery, this is the style of our empire."

"If you want to fight, I will fight! The bombardment of Luansock is really satisfying. You don't know that when the news reached Lisbonto, I immediately became energized. The empire went to war against Fezer, and it also used the navy. It was really a stroke of genius. !" While the merchants were waiting, they naturally kept talking about the news of the Empire's bombardment of Luansok, which was also the most important thing for the merchants, and they whispered to each other.

Under discussion. I don’t know who said, “The navy attacked Luansok. I’m afraid the fleet of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group will not be able to sail north safely.”

The hall suddenly became quiet, the merchants' eyes lit up one by one, and their originally sad faces quickly revealed a hint of joy. Yes, why didn't I expect that under the blockade of the Imperial Navy, the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group would not be able to go north to Lisbon. In this case. This agreement was a breach of contract by the other party. Although it cost a large amount of money to purchase fine iron, as long as the goods were in hand, it could still be sold. At most, it would be a small loss. It was completely different from the previous situation where everyone was almost bankrupt. And Yu, this war broke out too soon. If there was a disaster that was enough to seriously weaken Lisbon, now it is just a storm passing through.

"Miss Dailan. It seems that the situation has stabilized. As long as the time is up and no one from the other party shows up, Lisbonto will return to normal."

On the second floor of the Business Alliance, the head of the branch who was looking at the scene below turned to Sokutus Stellan who was behind and said with an extremely respectful expression. If the previous awe was just because the whole woman was so disgusting in several incidents. The performance of the tongue and the iron-blooded skills, now, it is because of this woman’s ability

"Immediately mobilize funds from nearby areas to prepare for the next big acquisition."

Sokutus Stellan said calmly. Looking through the glass on the second floor towards the port in the distance, the fleet of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group was not coming. The entire fleet was attacked and sunk by the Imperial Navy off the coast of Lisbon. All thirty-three ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and there was no one alive in the entire fleet! This news will never reach Lisbon, and it will not even be seen in any records. The fleet responsible for the attack also spent ammunition on reporting encounters with pirates across the vast sea. There is no trace at all. No matter what the Southern Merchant Group says, anything will happen if the fleet is at sea. Who knows where the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group's fleet has gone? If you have the ability, go find it yourself!

"Big acquisition? What does Miss Dailan mean?" The head of the Business Alliance Branch was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned a little pale.

"The Business Alliance will come out to purchase all the fine iron on the market. As for the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group, they will not come!" Sokutus Dailan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. He was so charming that he had suppressed it for so long. How many people were in the dark? Waiting to see your own joke, even within the business alliance, there are all kinds of rumors. This time, I can finally vent the bad breath in my heart.

"Yes, I understand!" The head of the Business Alliance opened his eyes suddenly and felt a chill to his bones. He had naturally heard the rumors in the Business Alliance, but with the previous lessons, before the situation became clear, , no one dares to show the slightest change. Power is tempting, but one must have the life to enjoy it.

Behind the Thirteenth Deacon stood the top management of the empire. It was no longer news since the last incident. The last turmoil was already the strongest alliance among the deacons of the Business Alliance. The four deacons joined forces to attack and seize the opportunity. In a fierce pursuit, everyone thinks that victory is certain. Many people even think that in the face of such power, Even the imperial side would choose to give in. Who knew that the situation was completely different? The military did not come forward, but the even more terrifying Supervision Department came out. As a result, four deacons were killed, two were exiled, and the wind direction reversed overnight. This woman's position is as solid as a rock. She controls the Lisbon Trust in one hand and shocks the entire business alliance.

But this time, it was even more exaggerated, the Imperial Navy took action! The Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group is probably doomed.

The words of Sokutus Stellan made the head of the branch dare not think deeply. His mind was almost blank. It was terrible. The fact was so obvious. The sudden attack of the Imperial Navy directly bombarded the largest island in Feize in the south. Hong Kong, so in this sudden conflict, who benefits the most?

Lisbonto!

The more the head of the Business Alliance branch thought about it, the more chills he felt. The content contained in this woman's words was enough to make the head of the branch who had already half-stepped into the upper echelons of the Business Alliance feel shuddering. This woman has existed since the establishment of the business alliance. She has gone through turmoil and provoked opponents who are both dead and disabled. How can such a character This is not something that he, the person in charge of the Business Alliance branch, can provoke. Even if he really wins this deacon competition and becomes a figure like the Twelve Deacons, he has nothing to be proud of in front of this woman. The other party will not hesitate to advance. Revealing this news to yourself is telling yourself, Lisbonto, this woman is the master!

As various news spread out in the Commercial Alliance Hall, the lifeless atmosphere in Lisbontos quickly improved. Businessmen seemed to see hope again, and the port began to operate.

The agreed time was dusk, and everyone waited until dusk with speculation. They almost saw through it. There was no sign of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Fleet at the port. When the heavy copper bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening, it rang over the entire Lisbon sky. The heavy air that had been suppressed for nearly half a month was like being blown by the breeze. Go, huge cheers came from the business alliance hall, it passed, everything passed, many businessmen cried like tears, at this moment, the original contract was invalidated, and the heavy shackles on the body were opened, The joy of surviving a desperate situation fills everyone's heart, enough to make people go crazy

"Quickly, send the message back. All shops are open again and will not be closed tonight." "Yes, they will not be closed tonight! There are enough drinks. You can drink as much as you want!"

The lights are like starlight, spreading in rows from Lisbon's commercial street. The earth in the lights suddenly regains its proper color. There are dazzling streets, brightly lit ports, and pedestrians coming and going. "Cheers, for Today, "carnival crowds crowd the small stone paved streets in Lisbon." On the streets above, joy spread throughout the city. The cheerful saxophone and fiddle danced in the air with cheerful tunes. The whole city was trembling in this tune, like a hurricane, sending out a burst of sound in the sky of the city. There was a pleasant echo, and countless Lisbon businessmen smelled of alcohol. Sitting by the street with squinted drunken eyes and a blank expression, they took a sip of wine, then raised their heads and looked at the cheering crowds around them. Their haggard faces were full of vicissitudes of life, and their eyes contained tears. The joyful scene in front of them, for them, Just like a dream that you never want to wake up from, this carnival celebrating victory will last for two days or more. Under the wine glasses held high, there are faces crying with joy.

The cheers were like the wind blowing through the cloisters of the Admiralty

Standing in the room of the Admiralty, looking away from the countless lights in Lisbon's downtown area, the fat man turned around and took the interrogation report sent by the Supervision Department. He took a look at it, signed his name, and ordered, "Submit it." Give it to the government to arrest these people immediately and start the second plan at the same time. Tell Varisien, it's time to start! ""Yes!" The officer of the Supervision Department took the report respectfully, turned and left. The wind passed through the corridor, shaking the light and shadow in the corridor, and looked at him like a sharp sword. The starry Milky Way in the vast sky lies on the emperor of the empire (To be continued.)
