Realm of Power

"Are you saying that Emperor Aero agreed to our request and dismissed a commander of Aero's main battle army from his position on the spot?"

The Emperor of the Falcon Empire, Dustin, put down the book in his hand with a slight surprise. He stood up from his chair and muttered to himself. He took the report from the guards and read it carefully again. After confirming that the content was correct, , walked back and forth for a few steps, hesitated with a frown, came to the door of the cabin and ordered to the guard standing guard outside, "Order the fleet to sail to the Port of Cornelia!"

"Yes, Your Majesty" the guard responded and left.

Soon, the huge white sail was pulled up by the imperial sailors, and the sea breeze caused the sail to swell rapidly. After a slight shudder, the huge hull of the Dragon-class battleship began to move forward to break the waves. The fat man stood on the side of the battleship, the black My head was fluttering in the sea breeze,

According to the description of the little witch, the holy city that was established in the Cornelia area at that time was not just a simple religious organization, but also possessed quite terrifying scientific research capabilities. As an academic center, no one has been able to shake it for more than a hundred years.

Built on the top of the highest mountain in the Holy City, the top of the church has an amazing and incomparable radiance that never sets. No matter it is night or day, the radiance is so bright that countless nobles and nobles of Opalo are attracted by it. Otherwise, the Holy City would not have used its influence in just over a hundred years after its establishment to force the Turrit family, known as the Shadow of Obaro, to hide on the remote west coast.

The most mysterious of them all is a red dragon palace that is said to be made entirely of red coral. The fat man still remembers Turrit Colleen's dazzling glow when he mentioned this big red coral palace in his arms. "Whether it's true or not, just thinking about it makes people want to take a look."

"It is said that the Red Dragon Palace exists in the mountains, and it has always been the biggest secret of the Holy City. The Holy City claims to the outside world that the Dragon Palace is extremely majestic, but no one has seen it. Some people say that during the great catastrophe when the Holy City collapsed Among them, the Red Dragon Palace, which holds the biggest secret of the Holy City, was not damaged at all."

"The Aden people who captured Cornelia searched through the ruins of the Holy City but could not find this huge red coral palace. In the end, the Aden royal family announced that the Red Dragon Palace was just a fabrication of the Holy City and could not exist in the world. Things, this matter was gradually forgotten."

The little witch who said this is so alluring. She wears a pink embroidered gauze dress that cannot cover up the pair of beautiful curved hills on her chest, which attracts people's imagination; her skirt is soft and silky. , the hem of the skirt is very covering a pair of red stilettos, the whole person is as slim and graceful as a weak willow, she is really charming, and her voice is even less emotional.

"Originally I thought the Red Dragon Palace was a fiction, but this time this bitch Putamiya swears so confidently, I'm afraid the existence of the Red Dragon Palace is real, otherwise I really can't think of any other place where Putamiya can Mia, a coward, is willing to risk her life and death Danger sets foot on the land of Cornelia. What else can it be besides the Red Dragon Palace? You must know that she is the pope of the Order State. Not to mention letting Aden, the Elorite, go to the temple and notice that she is in Cornelia, it is the church. Many people within the Order Country will never let him return to the Order Country alive!"

"Red Dragon Palace?"

The fat man stood on the ship and muttered to himself, with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth. If the huge palace disappeared out of thin air, it would be theoretically impossible, but Putamiya didn't look like he was faking it. Under the ruins of that year, could it be true? There is also a red dragon palace that hides countless secrets.

still. (?([网... The Dragon Palace is not in ruins at all, but in the sea! The fat man’s eyes unconsciously fell on the red corals like balls of flames under the sea surface, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp and lively as an eagle’s , blooming with light like a cold sword, staring at this piece of The beautiful blue sea is as clean as a layer of blue sea. Underneath the sea, red spots of coral reefs can be seen. If it is described as huge and continuous, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain. The red dragon palace that exists in the mountains, this The meaning of the word may be confusing at all.

Thinking of this, the fat man shivered slightly, and his back felt cold.

He finally understood why Emperor Eero was so determined. It was expected that Emperor Eero would eventually succumb to pressure and agree. However, Emperor Eero, who had always regarded himself as the regional hegemon in the south, agreed this time. It was too straightforward. In order to suppress the opposition, he even did not hesitate to directly remove a veteran general. Fatty never believed in the existence of any luck, especially In this game of great power's interests, there is no difference between being lucky and deceiving oneself and others. On the contrary, it is the step-by-step approach that is the true essence of the strategy of a great power. Emperor Ayrault was so eager to agree to the empire's request. On the contrary, it was revealed that he knew the truth about Potamia being as low as Cornelia. If he wanted to find the Red Dragon Palace, he had to be a descendant of the Holy City.

And what makes Fatty really admire and feel chilled is not this, but Putamia. This woman has been a huge trap since she found the empire to cooperate with her from the beginning. Cornelia is a big trap. Fatty doesn’t want to go to many places. He thought, but the facts made him touch something he didn't dare to think about.

The Ero people, the Aden people, and the emperor of the empire, millions of legions are entrenched in the land of Cornelia. This situation is too easy to remind people of the shocking event of the Feiya Dynasty thousands of years ago. punishment,

If the Red Dragon Palace is really a building built under the sea, it will definitely have nothing to do with the Holy City or anything else, because the Holy City may have explored the use of some black technologies, such as the immortal Saint on the top of the mountain. Hui, but something like the Red Dragon Palace buried deep in the sea cannot be built by the Holy City. According to the description of the little witch, According to the description, this is really like an underground nuclear base in later generations. The Feiya Dynasty may have accidentally touched a certain device underground, and was tragically destroyed. The root cause of the collapse of the Holy City may also be There was a problem in the sea area where the Red Dragon Palace is located, which shook the foundation below the Holy City, resulting in the collapse of the Holy City.

What would happen if the Order State were touched again this time?

The hundreds of thousands of warring troops gathered here by the Aero and Aden people, as well as the Emperor of the Falcon Empire who accidentally stepped in, will be wiped out in one fell swoop. The power of the divine punishment back then was nothing more than that. The earth was scorched, and millions of troops were destroyed. Once, taking advantage of the chaos of Erro and Aden, as well as the Falcon Empire, and the Holy City once again announces its recovery with the coming of divine punishment, who in the entire Obaro would dare to stand up and oppose it? They even took this opportunity to gain support from some countries and re-establish the authority of the kingdom of God on earth. The Eero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden, whose strength has been severely weakened, will become impossible to stop even if they want to. Thinking that they may be above a huge nuclear facility, and a crazy woman seems to want to hold a group of people to death together. To prove the so-called Kingdom of God in Heaven, the hair on the back of the fat man’s neck stood up.

You can't go anywhere near Port Cornelia, it's a big time bomb.

Putamiya brought about a hundred people this time. I was still surprised at first. For such a secret matter, it is natural to bring as few people as possible. With a scale of hundreds of people, there are no Ero or Aden people in it. That's hell. Now the fat man understands that this woman did this on purpose.

I'm afraid that by the time it came out, the news of the Pope's secret trip to Cornelia had been sent to the two major forces. Only he was still kept in the dark. Emperor Aero had lost 10,000 people and had to dismiss one member. The military general also has to pretend that he doesn't know anything, which is already a problem in itself. It was so unusual that it made people's hair stand on end. With the tip-off from insiders, Emperor Aero and the people of Aden who gathered in the Cornelia area eagerly waited for Pudamiya to dig out the secret of the Holy City from the ruins. Come, otherwise these people will all run away, and who will God punish them for?

The power of divine punishment should not be very powerful, otherwise many nobles would not have escaped during the sudden upheaval in the Feiya Dynasty. Therefore, the fat man wisely chose a natural and excellent bay fifty miles away from Cornelia Port as the fleet to dock. Point, even if Putamiya really attracts divine punishment, its influence should be greatly reduced here.

On the third day, Potamiya unexpectedly appeared in front of the emperor with a tired look on his face. He complained to Fatty that the excavation was not going well, especially that he was dissatisfied with Fatty's sudden withdrawal of most of the guards stationed at the port. "The ruins of the Holy City" The entrance is blocked by a large number of rocks. I have too few manpower, and in order to avoid the sight of the Aero people, we can still work during the day. If Your Majesty can expand the guard force to the outer line of the port, I believe the progress will be accelerated. a lot of"

"Okay, stop acting. The so-called entrance to the Holy City is not at Cornelia Port at all, right? The reason why you are digging so hard is to tell the people of Elero and Aden that the entrance to the Holy City is at Port of Cornelia! And the news from Eero shows that there seems to be still fighting in the past few days. , In fact, the Aden people on the opposite side are secretly gathering their forces, preparing to seize Cornelia Port at a critical moment." The fat man paused, and said slowly, "Although I don't know who you are, and I don't understand your views on the Holy City. fanaticism, but I’m not stupid enough to let my soldiers accompany you to death.”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Putamiya's pretty face showed a trace of surprise. "If I guessed correctly, there is no entrance to the Holy City under Cornelia Port, but it is the location of the Red Dragon Palace. The Holy City originally wanted to cover up The Palace of the Red Dragon, that’s why Cornelia Port was built, but no one expected that it would be used as a The concealed small port turned into the largest seaport on the eastern coast more than a hundred years later. If it weren't for the Cornelia War, you might not have thought of using this opportunity to once again demonstrate the power of God's Punishment "Fat Man" He put his hands behind his back, stared at the vast sea of ​​stars in the night sky, and said word by word

"I heard that every pope in the Order Country has three substitutes. They are all close friends who have been trained since childhood. Every move is almost similar. Although I don't know which one you are, I can be sure that the real Pope Pudami is Ya should be the one visiting the empire at the moment!”

"I am me. Putamiya, the Pope of the Order!" Putamiya had a face as white as jade, her brows were lightly frowned, and her face was a little distorted. She turned pale at first and then turned extremely red, and her body was actually trembling slightly.

"If you are Putamiya, who was the one who met me for the first time? Although I didn't pay too much attention, it doesn't mean that I can't see the arrogance in her eyes. During this period, I I can't see it from you!" The fat man turned around nonchalantly, his eyes falling on Putamiya in front of him. The bursts of pressure emanating from his body made Putamiya Ya's face suddenly turned extremely pale. Arrogance is innate. As a stand-in, you can be infinitely close in image, but this kind of arrogance in your bones cannot be learned. It is the attitude of those who have been in power for a long time towards those who are in power. A sense of superiority, and as a substitute, I spent a lot of time in the depths of the deserted temple, how could I possibly know what arrogance is!

"Tell me, who are you? If you still say that you are Pudamiya, then I will have to immediately order the fleet to abandon you and your people, and then leave the coast of Cornelia immediately!"

The fat man waved his hand. How could the real Pope of the Order State take such a huge risk to come to Cornelia? Even if he really triggered the divine punishment in the end, sacrificed himself, and benefited the people behind him for nothing, this kind of Who is willing to do it! When they met for the first time, Fatty had already sensed that Putamiya was not the kind of person who was absolutely fanatical about religion. It was naturally impossible for him to do something like playing a suicide bomb. The thought that the other party might be a stand-in also gave him an idea. , casually speaking, I didn’t expect that the other party’s expression would change so much.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Putamiya, who was standing in front of the fat man, turned away her head. Her face was red and bleeding. She wanted to retort but couldn't. She sighed helplessly with her red face, "Your Majesty said it." That's right, I'm not Putamiya, I'm just I am a stand-in for His Majesty the Pope. If Your Majesty insists on asking my name, then I am not afraid to tell you directly. My real name is Lockna. I am sorry for deceiving Your Majesty, but I have no ill intentions at all, so I am just asking. His Majesty sent me to the port of Cornelia"

"The Palace of the Red Dragon is really in Cornelia Port?" The fat man looked calm and silent for a while, then asked in a solemn voice.

"In fact, I don't know the location of the Red Dragon Palace." Beyond Fatty's expectations, Lockna gave a cold and wry smile. "The memory of the Holy City more than a hundred years ago is too long for our generation. Yes, there is indeed a huge tunnel under Cornelia Port. I My mission is just to find something among them and bring it out to attract the attention of the people of Eloro and Aden. As for the person who is really looking for the Red Dragon Palace, it is not me at all, but another team led by my sister. They had infiltrated Cornelia three months ago."

"After using it as bait to attract the Elo and Aden people..." Fatty looked at Lockna deeply.

"I never thought about leaving Port Cornelia alive. As the Pope's substitute, this is my duty." Lockna's eyes seemed to be closed and opened, showing a blurry and alluring light, biting her lower lip, under the moonlight. Her smile is beautiful (To be continued.) 8
