Realm of Power

Watching the convoy of the Order State slowly disappearing into the yellow sky ahead, the fat man turned around from the front, took out a note from his arms, and handed it to the little witch Turrit Colleen, "Do you know this place?"

Turrit Colleen took the note and glanced over it, with a slight look of astonishment on her pretty face. The note was written with a place name. Turrit Colleen knew that it was the name of an ancient city in the south of Hérault, so it was called the ancient city. , because this city was destroyed by a major disaster decades ago. The flood was completely submerged. The handwriting on the note was delicate and beautiful, and the paper had a light fragrance. It looked like it was written by a woman. Turrit Corinne guessed that it was 90% the woman Putamiya. Lin couldn't help gritting her teeth and spitting on the ground.

"This is a city in the south of Hérault. It should never be found again. Now it is one of the largest lake areas in the south of Hérault. Is this the place where that woman will have a secret date with you next time? Are you good at choosing places? , the ancient city at the bottom of the lake, with beautiful lakes and mountains, you can also swim. Wow, I really didn’t expect that Putamiya, a woman with the title of Pope, would still get excited when she saw a man. If this spreads, I think he, the Pope, would still How to be! ”

"Okay, you know it can't be the agreed place." The fat man's face showed a hint of astonishment. What Putamiya left for him was an old city that had sunk underwater. What a big deal!

I know that the Turrit family has a lot of entanglements with the Southern Order State. Yesterday, Putamiya had very implicitly hinted that the Turrit family, as descendants of the former Feiya dynasty, has always been grudges about the fall of the dynasty. The Holy City, which claims to have the power of God, has always been a thorn in the side of the Turrit family. The two have fought countless political battles in the past three hundred years.

The Turrit family was finally forced to leave Barro in Central Europe and move to the remote west coast of Lisbon to escape. This was actually the result of the Holy City's continuous influence. To put it bluntly, the Holy City won, while the remnants of the Fiya Dynasty were defeated. , the grievances and grievances of more than ten generations, they should be resolved before they meet and fight. It was time to show respect to the Falcon Emperor. He was worried that Turrit Colleen would tear up the note. The fat man quickly took the note and said, "This is a very important thing. In order to show her sincerity, this woman Putamiya stayed here specially." Although it is not specified, it should have some meaning! "

"Meaning? It's just a shabby place that has been abandoned for decades."

Tulit Colleen seemed to also know the importance of the note. She rolled her eyes at the fat man and put down her hand unwillingly. "The meaning is impossible. At most, it can be remembered. If it is in Three Hundred Years ago, that place was quite famous. It was a water transport hub on the great Kelo river that crosses the Erault. The headquarters of the Romanian Freemasonry. It is said that the ancestor of the Emperor Eero is one of the top leaders of the Freemasonry. In fact, our Turrit family has already investigated it. The so-called Eero Freemasonry is a branch of the Holy City. "It's just because At the beginning, the Holy City promised to never expand externally, so it could only adopt this sneaky method to establish a branch."

Turrit Colleen said with disdain, "It has no connection with the Holy City in name, but in fact it gives full support to the Holy City. All the senior officials and backbones are from the Holy City. After all, the Holy City is built on the same solid ground." On the ground, it is impossible to develop without external resources, and the Kailuo River, as a major water channel, is The largest material circulation channel in the Holy City. In the next hundred years, the Héro Freemasonry has always been the largest source of resources for the Holy City. Even when the Héro country was established and the king ascended the throne, he had to get the Héro Freemasonry. It was not until the sudden fall of the Holy City that the Eero royal family suddenly launched an attack and took the opportunity to get rid of this situation. This status, after more than a hundred years of expansion, finally formed the vast territory of Eero. It is said that in order to get rid of the influence of these holy cities, King Eero suddenly issued a comprehensive ban when he convened a meeting of governors from various places. , overnight, thousands of people and ministers related to Freemasonry were They were all executed, and Queen Hérault, who had a Masonic background, was even ordered to be poisoned. As a result, the Freemasonry, the largest branch outside the Holy City, was silenced before it had time to react to the fall of the Holy City. The traces were wiped out." From then on, the Eero royal family declared the Holy City a cult and started strangulation for decades! "

Turrit Colleen looked proud. It seemed that Ero's strangulation of the Freemason would make her very relieved. Her understanding of the history of the Holy City was indeed not enough. She clearly explained the situation after the destruction of the Holy City. Even the fat man Opalo, who is blind to history, probably understands.

It turns out that Eero's predecessor was inextricably linked to the Holy City, but he suddenly turned against him when the Holy City was in decline. He suddenly turned from a submissive servant to a cold-blooded pursuer. It's no wonder that he was The kings would be so generous as to agree to help the Holy City establish a kingdom.

This is not the establishment of a country. It is simply pushing the last strength of the Holy City into a pit of fire. The Order State was deliberately placed in the highland wilderness next to Erro. ​​It is obvious that he wanted to directly use the hands of the Erro people to directly destroy all the remaining remains of the Holy City. annihilation, the Ero people did indeed launch a stranglehold on the remnants of the Holy City for more than half a century.

"But why do I feel that Ero's current relationship with the Order State is not so tense?" the fat man asked with a slight frown.

"To be honest, my Turrit family doesn't know." Turrit's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said awkwardly, "Originally, my Turrit family has been pushing other countries to adopt an isolation attitude towards the Order Country, but This situation suddenly changed eighty years ago. I don’t know what the Holy City promised the Elo people, and the Elo people gave up. During the encirclement and suppression of the Order, the two sides suddenly reached a peace agreement. Then the Order State moved eastward to truly gain a foothold, while the Eero side expanded eastward and began to compete with the Aden people. As for the reason, the two sides are now There is no mention of it, it’s like the feud was wiped out overnight! It’s really strange!”

"Eighty years ago?" The fat man couldn't help but knit his eyebrows together as he listened.

He recalled the report of Admiral Dostronquet. Eighty years ago, the Kailo River in southern Hérault was diverted, causing flooding throughout southern Hérault. The entire center of the Hérault Empire even had to move from the south to Migrating north, it is possible that the Elo people would give up the encirclement and suppression of the Order State because they have too much time to take care of themselves, but it would be incredible to make the Elo people give up completely! How could this kind of blood feud that lasted for decades be put down at the drop of a hat? How could both parties let go at once without the slightest entanglement? Who would believe this!

And judging from the words of Tulit Colleen, in the situation at that time, Eero had an absolute advantage and would not spare any effort to strangle the Order State. However, the Order State was struggling to support itself, and it was estimated that it would not be too long before it was destroyed. Well, at this moment, if the Ero people suddenly want to give up their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately, there is only one possibility, that is, the Order State has come up with the power to prevent the Ero people from continuing to entangle.

"God's punishment?"

An impossible idea flashed through Fatty's mind.

Divine Punishment, the power that caused a powerful empire to collapse a thousand years ago, the absolute power that could wipe out 300,000 Feiya Dynasty troops with one blow, has it really been found by the Order State?

Eighty years ago, the Kailo River, which runs through the panoramic view of Erault, changed its course. Is it really just a natural disaster?

Just like the divine punishment that turned Cornelia to death a thousand years ago, and the big explosion that caused the entire Holy City to collapse a hundred and fifty years ago, if the remnants of the Holy City really mastered any huge power, taking advantage of Kailo's The river has experienced regular floods over the years. The original main river channel suddenly collapsed, causing the flood to spread out of control to the south. Finally, the Hérault royal family was forced to sit down and negotiate. This made everything make sense! The Erro Empire's final decision to shelve the entire south might not be because it was afraid of that kind of power, just like the death effect it caused in Cornelia!

It seems that the Aero Empire was really frightened, so much so that it later completely gave up on the west and turned to compete with the Aden people for the east! The country of the Order was allowed to grow gradually, leading to its current status as a powerful country.

The fat man snorted with a heavy nose. Is this what Putamiya wanted to tell him? The Order State holds some kind of power similar to divine punishment in its hands. Is this a warning or a display of power? This ridiculous woman, if she were the monarch of other countries, might really be frightened. After all, the more mysterious the power, the more frightening it is, not to mention the "divine punishment" that has been deeply imprinted on Oparo. historical stuff

But all this is a joke in front of me

Maybe the Order State that established the Holy City in the Cornelia area did dig something out of the Holy City, but now I'm afraid it's useless. If it's an instrument, it can't be operated at all. If it's some kind of weapon, it's more... It is a powerful weapon, and the larger it is, the more decades the Order Nation was strangled by the Eero people. If such a weapon really existed, it would have been taken out long ago, and it would not have been delayed until half a century later. It will be more certain

The thing that the Order State used to scare the Eero people should have been quietly taken away from Cornelia eighty years ago. It can break open a large river and eventually lead to a huge flood. In fact, the more important thing is to select the key location. , cutting the entire surface with one point, which proves that the Order State should It is to find some explosives, and after so many years, even the things that were taken out at the beginning may not be able to be used normally in the absence of formal maintenance. It is not difficult to understand that Putamiya is so eager to Go back to Cornelia to dig up more buried objects

Times are progressing, but the Order is still pinning its hopes on something that cannot be controlled.

"Come here, send this letter to the fleet going south immediately." The fat man handed a newly written document to the guard at the door. If there is a problem with the truth about the great flood in the south of Eero, then it was formed in Eero eighty years ago. The hundred-mile sea of ​​fog at the entrance of the sea is probably not a real sea of ​​fog. If it is really the impact of the use of a certain weapon, the original battle plan of the southbound fleet needs to be changed. At the end of April, the South Order The country announced in a high-profile manner that Pope Potamiya would visit the Imperial Sky Temple in the north of Opalo to promote exchanges and research between the largest religious groups in the north and the south. Imperial Princess Maumona Qing was personally accompanied and naturally arrived at the imperial seaport. Pope Potamia was a substitute for Potamia, and Pope Potamia and his hundreds of followers had already boarded the empire's transport fleet, heading towards the holy city in their hearts in the name of supporting the Cornelia battle.

In the south of the Erro Empire, at the mouth of the Kailo River.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, Dostronkai, stood on the deck of the battleship with a stern expression, looking at the white fog in front of him from the circle of the lookout mirror.

"Commander, there is indeed a problem with the fog here!"

The captain of the Dragon Tooth ship in charge of reconnaissance jumped from the step onto the deck of the flagship of the Imperial Navy, and said with a grim expression that the sea of ​​fog was definitely not an exaggeration. The fog floating on the sea here was like a thick layer of cotton, which could not be penetrated even with a telescope. Beyond a hundred meters, it was completely impossible to see clearly. The reconnaissance ship only sailed forward for twenty miles at the risk of getting lost, and dared not move forward anymore.

"Where's the lookout? Can't the flying ball work?" Dustrenkai put down the telescope in his hand with a serious face. The situation was more serious than he thought. His strong eyes Looking at the thick ropes tied to the tail of the reconnaissance ship, the thick ropes were erected towards the sky, with a few small black dots on them. As the top-secret weapon of the Imperial Fleet, the hydrogen balloons were called lift balls by the Navy. Each balloon carried two people, an operator and a naval flagman. The maximum lift height could reach 60 meters, while the flagman below watched the gestures of the flagman on the balloon through the telescope. Logically speaking, the foggy sea level would become very thin when it rose above 30 meters. Standing at that height, I dare not say that I could see everything, but I could roughly see it. Confirming the direction should be possible

"The situation is the same. The fog here is completely a group of air masses. Even the 60-meter high altitude is blocked." The reconnaissance captain hesitated and said when reporting, "Commander, I privately guess that this may not be fog on the sea, but something else we don't know."

"Oh? What do you think it is?" Dusterenkai took a deep breath. The emperor mentioned this possibility in the secret letter. However, as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, Dusterenkai led the main force of the Empire's most powerful naval fleet to the south. Naturally, he could not show such a cowardly attitude before the battle.

"The fog here is very heavy. I mean, it seems that there are many particles in it. You can't see it, but you can feel it." The reconnaissance captain looked at the fog in front of him with a strange expression. "This kind of thing also exists in my hometown. It is not fog, but because there are too many small particles in it, it attracts too much sea water vapor to form a kind of thing that blocks the view. I believe that it should be too much dust from the south of Erro. ​​It is all piled up here and can't float over, so it accumulates over time and forms such a huge sea of ​​fog."
