Realm of Power

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that Feize's military suddenly issued a notice declaring Feize's royal family to be treason."

Navy Minister Dostronkai walked into the emperor's office with a strange expression and saw the emperor reviewing a report. The bright sunshine in the afternoon filtered in through the window and shone on the emperor's black uniform. A royal family was unexpectedly declared by his own army. Treason is unheard of.

Fortunately, Dostronkai has become somewhat immune during this period. The national conditions in the Feize region are definitely a strange one. Slave owners and slaves, occupiers and nobles who hate the occupiers. The originally arrogant and domineering slave owners are just... Turned over casually by His Majesty the Emperor, the previous attack on the escaped slave The rampant momentum of the attack suddenly disappeared, and everyone was submissive to the emperor. The slave-catching team simply did not dare to show up, and even privately gave money to some bandits in Wuthering Mountains, begging them not to touch them. Emperor, an emperor needs a hundred Feize slave owners to pay for it. Who can bear such a ratio! If any emperor encounters an accident, then the nobles in the entire region will probably be sorted out! The slave owners did not dare to move. The situation on the entire West Coast improved rapidly.

"The wisdom of the gods"

Now on the west coast, the Fezer slaves who were saved from harm because of this call this decree this way. The level of support for this decree has reached an overwhelming level. The Emperor is not only their protector, but also saved more people. Companion, because of being punished Under the protection of the order, the escaped Feize slave no longer hid, but walked away from the slave owner's manor openly. Even if the slave owner hated this situation with itching teeth, he could only watch. If one slave is killed, two slave owners will be killed. Who dares to stop them? Once the imperial troops outside get wind of the news, a century-old family may detain all of them overnight and have their heads chopped off in front of everyone the next day.

The slave-owner rule that had been established on the West Coast for hundreds of years was reduced to nothing overnight. The battle was not bloody, but it turned the world upside down. No matter how slow and arrogant the slave owner was, he clearly felt that the era of the slave owner had passed. There are only two paths before them now, either to surrender and get used to the empire's rule, or to be eliminated by the empire!

The emperor looked calm and just stood up from his seat. He moved his body for a while, seemingly not caring about the changes outside. He stretched out on the balcony, looking as if he had just woken up. He looked into the distance and said, "Sooner or later, there is nothing to be surprised about! Otherwise, Why do you think King Fezer gave us the entire coastal area? It doesn't hurt to cut off other people's flesh. Now the owner of the suffering has come to the door. That's what the royal family of Fezer meant by giving us such a big piece of fat. Isn't it just for this moment? Just watch it , the Fezer royal family's envoy will be coming soon. ""The empire has just reached a military agreement with the Fezer royal family. The Fezer royal family is willing to become the empire's collaborator in the south, and the empire needs to protect the interests of the royal family." The emperor came over, from a guard Taking a glass of wine in his hand, the scenery of the Feize coast is still very beautiful. The sun is shining with sparkling waves on the coast. If you don't include the imperial warships docked in the port with huge sails, it is really peaceful and beautiful. scene. The land is vast and hundreds of birds are flying south. Except for the evergreen coniferous forest that trembles in the wind, the rest of the forest is covered with thick fallen leaves.

"The interests of the royal family?"

Dostelenko felt a little stupid, and his head was in a mess. Aren't the interests of the royal family the interests of the country? But look at the Fezer royal family. They ceded one-third of the entire kingdom's land without blinking an eye, and now they are fighting with their own army. What kind of situation is this? Dostelenko felt like he was stuck in a mire. As a soldier, what he disliked most was this kind of mud that could not be sorted out. However, there was one person who could thrive in this kind of mud, and that was the calm look in front of him. the emperor

"In Feize, the royal family and the military restrict each other. Now the royal family wants to get rid of this restriction and truly have the power of the king. However, the military is more powerful than the royal family, so the royal family has chosen to ask for help from outside forces." Fat Man Sees Looking at the confused subordinates, he explained the power structure of Fezer, and Dustronkai made a sound. I was stunned to see that there is such a royal power structure. Is the first king who established Feize a hero or an idiot with his head caught? Don’t you know that royal power and military power are separated? When two power systems coexist, will there one day be a fight over interests?

The fat man said, "The land under our feet belongs to the Fezer Army." "That's it." A look of enlightenment appeared on Dostelenko's face. But why did the Fezer Army choose to take action at this time? ""Because the blocking battle at Paput battlefield failed," the fat man sighed, "Although Salton They worked very hard and blocked nearly 100,000 Fezer troops at the choke point, but there were still more than 60,000 Fezer elites who bypassed Caniyaro and reached the Fezer border. Fezer army suddenly gained such strength. Naturally, I don’t want to endure it any longer! “Ceding the coastline to us would mean that the royal family has completely broken up with the military.”

The fat man's voice paused, and his eyes fell on a forest in the distance that was full of golden early winter. "What the Fezer royal family was most worried about was that once they broke up with the military, they would be attacked from both sides by the border areas controlled by the military and the west coast. , but now, the royal family has left the west coast to us. Not only has it attracted strong support for itself, but it also has no worries. In fact, even if the Feize army does not declare war, the royal family will choose to declare war." "Why?" "Dustrom? Kai asked

"Because winter is obviously more beneficial to the royal family!" The fat man smiled slightly. The Feize royal family deliberately transferred one hundred thousand of its directly affiliated legions to the royal capital. In fact, it was for the whole Feize to see. It first ceded its land and then forced it. It would be strange if the military did not respond. In the cold winter, the royal army only needs to wait for work in the royal capital. , as long as they hold on to the fortified city, they can overwhelm Fezer's army outside the city and easily win this war. King Fezer, who only succeeded to the throne at the age of fifty, may not be able to calculate this matter in two days. Oh my god, it was originally a plate of stagnant water. In less than twenty years, the military will be superior to the royal family. By then, the royal family will I don’t know if it can still exist. "" But this king did not hesitate to use the war with the empire many times to continuously consume the military power. He finally had the opportunity to muddy the whole water and decisively lost the west coast, where the military power was strongest. Although we seem to have lost one-third of our land and our national strength is greatly reduced, we are actually strong. The determination of the soldiers to cut off their arms has completely cut off the foundation of the military. Even if the military can survive this winter, it will be over sooner or later. The Feize royal family can take advantage of the opportunity of accountability to re-establish their royal power and control all parties. Local forces were cleaned up and Shunchang was defeated, allowing Feize to truly realize royal rule.

"Does the Empire want to participate in this battle?" Dostronkai took a deep breath. "The intelligence showed that there were 150,000 Fezer troops heading towards the capital of Fezer, and there were many regional nobles responding along the way. , by the time we arrive at the capital of King Feize, we will probably have more than 200,000 yuan. We are on the coast. There are only 60,000 people in the district. It is the best to stabilize the situation. If we join the war, I'm afraid..." "Don't worry, let's watch a good show first." The fat man waved his hand, grinning and showing his teeth. "I've heard of closing the door and letting go. Is this the word dog? King Feize’s capital is the door that blocks Feize’s military. First of all, The Imperial Guard transferred to the south is that vicious dog that has been raised for a hundred years! Let's wait until we beat the drowned dog." "The Fezer Imperial Guard? There are only 50,000 people in the entire Imperial Guard..." Dust Lun Kai opened his mouth. He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor thought that there were 50,000 Imperial Guards. Neng can threaten 200,000 Feize troops. "You will know then that the Feize royal family is putting on a show for everyone. If they don't deliver the west coast to Neng at once, they will be deceived!" The fat man curled his lips indifferently. , I have to admit that King Fezer played really well this time. If Nan'an Fu hadn't revealed some flaws, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it! …

In the south of Feize, in the Nan'anfu area, Feize's imperial guard camp.

The heavy horseshoes nailed with horseshoes stepped on the hard soil of the mountain, raising a puff of smoke and dust. A messenger galloped past on a war horse. The white feathers representing the identity on the helmet were blown by the wind, like a faint white streak. The line was on the mountain road and I heard the battle report. The patrols outside the camp got out of the way. At the wooden gate, the messenger forcefully reined in the horse, and skillfully rolled off the horse. Under the confused eyes of everyone, the messenger hurried up the steps and shouted loudly. "Your Majesty's urgent order" "Your Majesty's order?"

At the end of the steps, a captain of the Fezer Guards stretched out his hand to stop him. "Sir Alukot is holding a military meeting. If you have anything, just leave it to me directly." The cavalryman hesitated for a moment, and handed over the order in his hand. He handed it over and said breathlessly, "Please report to your Excellency immediately."

"Is this urgent?"

The Imperial Guard officer frowned slightly. The Nan'an Fu Kingdom secretly invested in Feize's side and opened a shortcut across the mountains. From this shortcut, the Imperial Guard could reach the Southern Army without anyone noticing. On the flank, Lord Alukot convened a military meeting for this purpose. If everything goes well, maybe we can The Southern Army was defeated in the first battle, but now such an order was sent from the royal capital. The officer of the Imperial Guard hesitated for a while. According to his status, he could not know the higher-level things, but judging from the expression of the messenger cavalry, as a A guard officer was born with a kind of fear, and he vaguely felt that the thing in his hand was unusual.

At this time, the meeting ended, and he saw Alukot walking out of the Chinese army's tent

Although Alukot is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and an important military minister, he is a member of the royal family. When he was young, Alukot had already seen the excessive expansion of military power. Not appreciated at first, "the military's ambitions have given way to Fei This carriage is becoming more and more deviated from the direction. If things go on like this, Fezer will definitely be divided because of this." These were the remarks of a naked royalist. He was criticized by a senior military officer at the time for criticizing the military for overstepping its authority. He made things difficult and was sent to the front-line army as a junior officer.

It happened that the Crown Prince at that time was inspecting the front-line troops. In the welcoming queue of the entire legion, the Crown Prince walked past calmly. The other soldiers only had respectful eyes, but Alukot's eyes were filled with ardor, understanding. After seeing the situation of the officer named Alukot, the crown prince brought this officer The junior officer was transferred to him as an aide-de-camp. After twenty years of experience as an aide-de-camp, Alukot and the Crown Prince had already formed some kind of terminal relationship. When the current King Feize ascended the throne, Alukot was transferred to the king* * Ministry of Military Affairs, and then promoted continuously within a few years, quickly climbing to the position of deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs

However, the obvious royalist mark on Alukot made the entire military stay away from Alukot. Therefore, when the main forces of the military were transferred out one after another, the status of Alukot, as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, But he just stayed in the royal capital, doing chores such as dispatching military resources.

"Sir, the order just received"

The officers of the Guards quickly stepped forward. This military meeting gathered all the officers of the Guards above the squadron commander. When they heard the order from the king, several sharp eyes immediately turned around.

"You are all dispersed." Aluket snorted with a heavy nose. The officers immediately dispersed. With orders alone, Alukot walked into his military tent. There was a large map hanging on the tent. Several arrows were marked, and the long and broad arrows, as red as blood, extended from the flanks of Nan'an Fu Highland. Crossing a narrow strip of the mountainous area, that is exactly what Nan An Phu provides. This road is very hidden. It is a suspension bridge passing through a valley. If you are not a local of Nan An Phu, you will never think of this. "This is the beginning. "

Opening the order in his hand, Alukot glanced at the content above, his pupils tightened, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. It was a crusade stamped with the red seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The person who sent it was none other than Feize's military, and the person being crucified was Feize royal family, Feize military's crusade against the royal family, His Majesty the King sent this thing as quickly as possible on a fast horse. What does it mean, maybe only Alukot, the king's confidant, knows! "Let the generals come to me"

Alukot rolled up the order and shouted to the guard at the door

Soon, several generals of the Imperial Guard came to his military tent. Alukot showed the order to all the generals, and then threw the order into the brazier in the middle of the military tent.

Looking at the burning flames, Alukot took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, the real war has arrived." (To be continued.)
