Realm of Power

The heads of the seventy-four imperial provincial branches and the twelve business alliance deacons suddenly stood up at this moment and looked at the door with trembling fear. "It's Sokutus Stellan!"

There was an uproar in the conference hall. These powerful figures in the empire's business community all felt chills on their backs at this moment. This woman was simply a shadow hanging over the business alliance. She left strangely this time and returned without any warning. , it is easy for people to think that this woman’s departure is simply to lure the snake out of its hole. The conspiracy was to see who would jump out after she left. Reminiscent of the tragic scenes of the Business Alliance being purged several times, the bodies of several veteran deacons trembled slightly and looked at each other in unison. After taking a look at each other, they all saw fear in each other's eyes. In the meeting just now, they all agreed to cancel it.

Sokutus Stellan’s appearance was so amazing that no one noticed Prais behind Sokutus Stellan.

Businessmen of the Business Alliance, even with the status of Twelve Deacons, are not qualified to contact important imperial ministers like Prais. Being able to deal with ordinary imperial military generals is worth showing off. Who would have thought that Sokutu The person Stellan brought back without a word turned out to be this giant whale. This was mainly because Plais had been away from the center of power for more than a year. The teaching life has also made this important imperial minister who used to dominate the world like a sharp sword now look as humble as an ordinary person. He followed Sokutus Dailan, wearing only one piece of clothing. Appropriate noble attire. Although he is the top noble of Ruidian, Plais's style has always been relatively simple, and now he is directly regarded as the servant of Sokukutus Dailan.

What's more, this is Sokutus Stellan's home court. Plais has no idea of ​​stealing the limelight. When his eyes swept across the main hall of the Business Alliance, he roughly figured out why the fat man arrested him. The reason is that it turns out that the annual meeting of the Business Alliance is not just attended by people from the Business Alliance. Behind the seats of the Business Alliance, there were about a hundred people sitting around the outside. Most of these people were wealthy businessmen related to the Business Alliance, and several of them were in relatively front positions. There were several imperial soldiers in military uniforms sitting there, with a hint of coldness in their eyes and upright bodies. At first glance, they were the real imperial soldiers who had been killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Judging from the trembling looks of the dozen or so businessmen around them, see. The identities of these imperial soldiers are definitely extraordinary. Most likely, these soldiers are the back-up of the deacons of one of the business alliances. "It's no wonder that there is a military force involved!"

Plais couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes flickering under his thick eyebrows. In the struggle for power in the Business Alliance, the shadow of the imperial soldier actually appeared, and the other party actually appeared here openly. This is no wonder that the Business Alliance has always been regarded as a taboo. The damn fat man also had murderous intentions. Plais smiled bitterly. As the military affairs minister of the Ruidian Army in the Ikadiva continental unification war, and he had been planning around Fatty for so many years, how could he not know that Fatty would die? Thoughts, according to his connections in the military, only If it weren't for the appearance of important imperial ministers like the commanders of the five major empires, they could basically all be killed. If one of the commanders of the five major regiments really wanted to reach out to the bowl of the Business Alliance, with him standing in front, the other party would also be able to kill them. Will stop very wisely. Because at that level, military officials basically know what their appearance means! And the damn fat man pushed himself out this time, basically. Someone among the five major legions took action

I hope they just don’t know the inside story, otherwise the other party will just ask for their blessings!

Almost no one paid attention to the appearance of Prais. Everyone's attention was on Sokutus Stellan. Under everyone's complicated eyes, Sokutus Stellan had already walked to the deacon's table. forward. He glanced at the empty Thirteenth Deacon's seat, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm attending the meeting as an agent of the Imperial Bank." "Imperial Bank? Has anyone invited the Imperial Bank?" There are faint voices questioning that other businessmen can be invited to the Business Alliance Deacons Annual Meeting. On some major decisions, invited businessmen can speak, but at least they need to be invited at the deacon level.

"I invited you!"

He Ruile raised his head. He was the one who sent the invitation to the Imperial Bank. He was just ordered to do it. The person in charge of contacting him was the consul of Lisbonto. He had just returned from the south. Naturally, he knew how terrifying the power of the Imperial Bank was. The character was Sokutus Stellan, but he did not expect that the person who appeared at the Imperial Bank would be Sokutus Stellan himself. He Ruile secretly celebrated Fortunately, he insisted on his position. No one knew better than him who was standing behind Sokutus Stellan. Sokutus Stellan represented His Majesty the Emperor. From the day the Business Alliance was established, Sokutus Stellan Stellan is the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. It is ridiculous that these business alliance deacons are still planning how to divide the power of Stellan in Sokutus. In fact, from the beginning, they are looking for death!

Sokutus Stellan can leave on her own, but absolutely no one can drive her away!

It's just that He Ruile is a little unsure. Is Sokutus Stellan's return this time the return of the king, or another purge of the top executives of the business alliance? No one is stupid enough to really think that if this woman leaves the Business Alliance, then everything she represents has left. If she really left, then what is the Thirteenth Deacon that everyone is still discussing here today? The Thirteenth Deacon is Sokutus Stellan’s exclusive position, okay! "Miss Dailan, with all due respect, you have no right to make this proposal. As for the Imperial Bank, I don't even know what it is! Please leave gracefully and save yourself some face," said Fei, as the host. Before Lando spoke, another slightly contemptuous voice sounded. A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the head of the Business Alliance branch stood up. He had a slightly eagle-like nose, giving people a cold feeling.

"It's Staras." A low voice sounded in the venue. Anyone who knows this middle-aged man knows that he is a confidant of Deacon Tamara. He has just been transferred from the Dorok Aaron branch to Lisbonto as the assistant to the branch director. , there are rumors that after the annual meeting of the deacons, he will soon ascend to the position of Lisbon branch minister.

"Isn't it? This is a meeting of the Business Alliance, and Sokutus Stellan is not a member of the Business Alliance, so what qualifications does he have to make comments here?" Staras glanced at the entire audience. Regarding Sokutus Stellan's deeds, he was far away in the empire and had only heard about most of them, so he was not under great pressure. In his heart, he believed that the only reason this woman was able to dominate the Business Alliance Deacons was because of her connections with the Imperial Military. Her sudden departure was also because the Imperial Military withdrew her support. You, Sokutus Stellan, are not the only one relying on the imperial military. You have also attracted the support of another imperial military force in your native Dorok. There is no need to fear this woman at all!

"From now on, the position of the Thirteenth Deacon is cancelled. As for the reason, it is very simple. It has been clearly stipulated in the general outline that I am the Thirteenth Deacon. When I am here, the Thirteenth Deacon is here. If I am not, the Thirteenth Deacon is Doesn’t exist!”

Sokutus Stellan's powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire audience. Is there anything else she should be concerned about in the Business Alliance? If it weren't for the fact that he was no longer in the position of the Thirteenth Deacon, otherwise this Staras would have been removed by herself long ago. As a subordinate of Tamara, she didn't take it seriously at all, and there was no need to argue with him. There was indeed such content in the general outline of the Business Alliance, "That's nonsense, the general outline is set by people. If it is unreasonable, it can naturally be modified." Staras's expression changed. For this meeting, he I really read the general outline carefully, so I naturally knew the content of the general outline. Tamara squinted her eyes. It was as if he didn't know that the subordinates behind him said this, but the calm look on his face clearly explained everything. The other business alliance deacons were silent one by one. The appearance of Sokutus Stellan, They had to weigh the consequences. Some people also thought, did this woman really leave on her own initiative? Or because I knew I couldn't suppress the situation anymore, I left in an attitude of saving face! "I support the cancellation..."

He Ruile wanted to stand up. At this time, even a fool knew how to show his loyalty, but before he could finish his words, someone had already rushed to stand up and said "The Thirteenth Deacon is inherently unreasonable and imposes a restriction on the entire Business Alliance. Even according to the General Outline of the Business Alliance, the Thirteenth Deacon was established for Miss Dailan, but anything that is unreasonable should be cancelled!" said the speaker. It was Becasso, with a righteous expression on his face, and he seemed to have completely recovered from the blow just now. Come on, even his face was a little red with excitement. He thought he was already the target of ridicule, but unexpectedly, he suddenly took a turn and said it at this critical moment. It looked like he had to fight hard to get rid of this evil tenth person. The three deacons have been abolished. When word spreads, it will naturally be the result of his lack of fear of power. "I propose to start the next topic, discussing the change of the Thirteenth Butler. Before that, I am honored to introduce a distinguished guest to you."

Tamara stood up with an arrogant look and looked at the other deacons. At this time, there is nothing to hide. The days when you, Sokustelan, could cover the sky with one hand are gone, and you are no longer a business alliance. The Thirteenth Deacon, in this particular On the platform of strength, he didn't take the clown Beckgasso seriously at all. All he had to do now was to force the other deacons to agree to the changes. He believed that as long as he showed his true strength, these deacons would know that Sokutu Stellan is so small!

Tamara turned around and nodded to several imperial soldiers on the outer seats. One of them, a middle-aged officer with short hair, stood up. After scanning the audience with an arrogant look, the middle-aged officer said loudly "I have just arrived in Lisbon to take up my post. I am honored to receive the invitation from Her Excellency Tamara. It’s just that This kind of annual meeting is indeed a bit puzzling. It has been an hour and not even a single topic has been completed. It is just a 13th deacon. Since everyone is gone, why hasn't someone been replaced? I don't know. What I said is correct, but I think the truth is basically the same! "

After the officer finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp in the conference hall. The middle-aged officer's words were obviously biased towards Tamara's side. Tamara's face showed a smile of victory. She also had military skills. Fang’s support is no less than Sokutus Stellan’s on this point. As long as he shows this trump card, there will be no obstacle to the adoption of the replacement resolution.” He is the leader of the Laker Banner of the Northwest Army! “Some people think that revealed the identity of the officer "No wonder Tamara is so confident. It turns out that she has joined the Northwest Army!" He Ruile's pupils also tightened and he said secretly. Tamara's trump card is quite rich. No wonder she dares to covet the thirteenth. Fortunately, for the sensitive position of deacon, Sokutus Stellan came in person, otherwise, even he would not be able to suppress such a scene.

There was a roar of discussion in the hall,

Bekcasso, who just wanted to pick up a bargain just now, stood there frozen, his face was pale, his lips were trembling and he didn't know what to say. He felt regretful and wanted to hit the wall. He originally wanted to borrow Sokutus Stellan's hand. To become famous, I didn’t expect that Tamara would pull out such a trump card in a blink of an eye. Sokutusdai After all, Lan had lost power, and the military general Tamara had found was real. From the flash of ridicule in Tamara's eyes, he knew that when the deacon meeting was over, he would be It's completely over. In Tamara's eyes, she can easily crush herself to death with just one finger. "What a surprise!"

A veteran deacon let out a long sigh. Since Varisian, who was in charge of the defense of southern Congo, was transferred to Barro in Central Europe, in order to deal with possible attacks by the Fezers on southern Congo, the empire will rest in central Gaul. The transfer of the Northwest Army of the Empire for a year was originally intended to be a kind of care for the main army of the Empire. From a defense perspective, Lisbon is now in charge, but Within the scope of the Northwest Army, it is no wonder that the flag commander of the Northwest Army can sit here openly. Even if the higher authorities investigate, it can be said that it is to strengthen defense and avoid enemies from launching attacks on the annual meeting of the Business Alliance. In fact, everyone knows that this Laker actually represents the attitude of the Northwest Army that currently controls the entire southern Congo.

This deacon meeting is now as tense as a bloody battlefield. Beckgasso was sold, Soku and Stellan came in person. Tamara no longer concealed her trump card. Several deacons who were still hesitating turned their eyes on Soku. Tustellan and this Leker are swaying, and Sokutustellan has the support of the imperial military behind him. This is something everyone knows, but the newly transferred Lord Laker has a great background. He is not only the flag commander of the Northwest Army, he was also the aide-de-camp of the commander of the Northwest Army, Crolisate. This identity is enough to be half higher than the average military general. As for why the Northwest Army supports Tamara of the Doroks,

Among the many people present, the one who probably knows the most is Plais, who has always ignored the matter. Crolisate almost lost Palais because he was sneak attacked by the old coach Dorok. Wen was demoted by the fat man to be the governor of the Dorok region. The Northwest Army remained idle in the Dorok Mountains for two years. Later, it was transferred to the Oparo region because of the war against Gaul.

However, during the two years in the Dorok area, I had long heard that the Northwest Army was very close to the Dorok merchants. Tamara was a merchant from the Dorok people, so she could use the Northwest Army as her reinforcement. understand,

Now Plais is just thinking about whether he should stand up. Once he stands up, it means that there is no room for reversal in the Northwest Legion's intervention in the Business Alliance. I don't know if there will be a lot of heads by then, at least Crow Lisatte, the commander of the Northwest Army who has just had a good life for a few days, is likely to be kicked back to her homeland by the fat man again! "Everyone be quiet and let's start the second topic. If you agree to replace the Thirteenth Deacon, please raise your hands!" The Fifth Deacon Ferrando raised his hand and glanced at Sokutus Stellan with a very contemptuous look. The situation It’s so clear, do you still need to hold on? How does it feel to be slapped hard in the face now that I asked you to leave me decently? Let’s appreciate the frustration we feel every time when the military intervenes! (To be continued.)
