Realm of Power

In the middle of the contiguous buildings in the Port of Hérault, there is a huge circle area, the dark blue dome of the Sky Temple, the golden sunlight shines down, the ribbon becomes more and more beautiful, the slightly dazzling dark blue is like the purest The color of the sky, this is the sign of the Temple of the Sky,

As the largest and tallest building in the entire Port of Hérault, this building is the first and largest Sky Temple in Barro, southern Europe. The amount spent alone reached 3 million imperial gold. Of course, there is another saying, This temple in Port Hérault was a personal palace built specifically for Palstina, the last high priest in the theocratic era of the temple. After its completion, Palstina went to pray in person, which seems to confirm this. statement,

For the empire, it is also very happy to see the huge wealth accumulated by the Sky Temple being invested in such construction. With the huge consumption of the Sky Temple's wealth, it also means that the theocratic power that the empire is most afraid of will no longer have any chance to turn around. . .But no one appreciates this scene at this time, everyone is doing the final busy "Up, pay attention!" "Continue to pull up, don't let the shelf hit the wall!"

Just like on a noisy construction site, there are large cranes two or three meters high. With the concerted efforts of the crowd, the Imperial God of Thunder, which weighs a thousand kilograms, is slowly hoisted to the third and fourth floors of the temple. Platform, the Imperial soldiers on the platform used hooks to pull the hanging Imperial Thunder God, and then steadily let the Imperial Thunder God stand on the platform. "Put it firmly on the table" cheered me up. This is no joke. The base must be reinforced, otherwise once it bounces up after shooting, it will be terrible! "The officers are doing a final inspection, I personally patted the body of the security Imperial Thor cannon with my hands, and kicked the earth pit behind it to reduce the anti-shock force.

These Imperial Thors hoisted to high places are different from ordinary Imperial Thors. They are obviously smaller in size, but the barrel as the cannon body is longer. It looks like it has shrunk by one third and lengthened by three. One-third of the Imperial Thor, this is the Imperial Universal Thor Type 1! It is a curved-firing Thor specially improved by the Imperial Weapons Research Institute for the Dragon-class battleships of the Imperial Navy. By reducing the weight of the Thor and lengthening the barrel, it can achieve higher accuracy and longer range. This is also an improvement suggestion proposed by the Imperial Navy. , as the strongest force of naval battleships in this era, the Imperial Dragon-class battleship One side is fully loaded with the combat power of the sixty-eight Imperial Thunder Gods. Although it provides unparalleled powerful firepower, the powerful recoil caused by the Thunder God's launch often makes everyone on the Dragon-class battleship feel that they are standing on the cusp of the storm. Above, the accuracy of such shooting is greatly affected,” the world There are no enemy warships on board that can withstand the volleys of sixty-eight Imperial Thunder Gods, and there are not even those that can withstand the volleys of thirty Thunder Gods. The overly powerful firepower is wasted, and it also causes great troubles to the battle. ..."The Imperial Navy's superior report finally reduced the weight from 1,600 kilograms By the time the 1,100-pound modified mini-Thor appeared, as the first refitted Dragon-class battleship, the Babia performed quite well in the firepower test. The emperor personally reduced the caliber to one-third. 1. The Navy Thor with a greatly extended range has been finalized and renamed "Imperial Universal Thor Type 1"

A full five hundred kilograms were reduced, which finally allowed the cumbersome Imperial Thor to finally get rid of the word "cumbersome". The heavy war weapon that originally required four to six war horses can now be pulled by three horses. The reduced weight also means that Many terrains that were originally unmovable will become areas that can be moved, which represents another strengthening of the Imperial Army's combat power.

After the emperor designated this Thor as the Universal Type 1, the Imperial Weapons Research Institute immediately began intensive and comprehensive research on the universal type. In the recent report submitted to the Emperor, the Institute's test list has already included the Universal Army. The test drawings of Types 1 to 5 and Navy Types 3 to 8 either focus on firepower, or on shooting speed, or on range, or purely to reduce weight. Anyway, they are research directions derived from various needs.

How this improved Thor will perform in actual combat remains to be tested. However, this time the Imperial Navy battleships docked at the Port of Hérault, including the Dragon-class battleship Babia. How could such an opportunity be missed? Whether a weapon is useful or not, the real test of all this is not the data provided by the institute, but the final verdict from the battlefield.

Just as the Port of Hérault needed to strengthen its defense, the Emperor decisively ordered "all the general-purpose Thors on the Babia to be unloaded, and Port Hérault to be used as the largest testing ground to engage in this battle." It is equipped with one hundred and twenty-seven thunder gods, of which thirty thunder gods have been carried to high-level positions in the Sky Temple Empire. The remaining thunder gods almost have one or two doors on a high-rise building.

On the balcony of the highest fifth floor of the temple, the sea breeze hit people's faces and hurt. A black-haired young man wearing black armor stood on it, looking at the distant scenery. The sea breeze blew the young man's black hair. Flying, in the direction of the Hérault plain and the Port of Hérault, which begins to turn yellow after entering winter, is still the vast blue and cyan sea. In the eyes of the black-haired green, it is like following a The two-pole mirror surface formed by the arc is a quite impactful sight. A self-deprecating look flashed in the black-haired young man's eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "If Teacher Parscina knew that he had changed the Sky Temple into the entire Eero The largest fortress in Hong Kong will probably hate me for at least half a year!" "Your Majesty, Lord Varisien sent someone to report back, and he succeeded!"

An imperial guard officer came up from behind with an excited look and reported, "All the pursuing Eero light cavalry were ambushed. Even if they were not all killed, there would definitely not be more than a hundred people who could make it back alive. This was because the opponent was entering." Before the trap, some people were sent to report to the headquarters of the Eastern Army of Hérault. Lord Varisien is now on his way back to the Port of Hérault, and I believe he will arrive at the Port of Hérault soon," the captain of the Guards Cavalry said word by word.

"What's the situation now with the Legion Army?"

Hearing the report of Varisien's success, the black-haired young man's calm eyes suddenly burst into light, "The Aerod Eastern Army had stopped attacking last night." The Imperial Guard Captain's face showed a look of disdain and dissatisfaction. "It's just that The Legion Army actually completely ignored the life and death of Pope Potamia and did not rescue Potamia who was being pursued. Instead, they took the opportunity to withdraw to the city of Cunele more than a hundred miles away, making it clear that they wanted to withdraw from the entire battlefield. It’s really disgusting to go out.”

"The Legion Army has even lost its fighting spirit, what else do you expect!"

The fat man smiled indifferently when he heard the captain of the guard's complaint. Even Potamia, as the pope, needed to use herself as a bait. What else could the religious legion have to rely on now? However, Varisien forcibly bit down all the light cavalry of the Eastern Army of Eero. It can be said that he cut off one arm of the Eastern Army of Eero in advance, and it was also the fastest and most powerful arm.

Now, Ero's 100,000 Eastern Army is really a pure infantry group, and it is also a blind infantry group! "Your Majesty, Master Dostronkai is here!" "Let him come up!" The fat man waved his hand and turned back from the balcony. Footsteps came from the direction of the steps. A young man wearing an Imperial Navy uniform. Appearing in front of the fat man, he looks handsome and has a bit of an eccentric feeling. He wears a mainly black Imperial Navy uniform, which is smooth and straight. The ground is tightly attached to his well-proportioned limbs, and he increasingly shows his capable and capable masculinity. It is the Imperial Navy Minister Dustronkai, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, who is known as the "Sea Swallower" by the outside world. Behind him, there were two naval officers standing holding large rolls of blueprints. As the emperor approached, their bodies were shaking nervously.

"I heard that you got married again? Is it your second wife or..." The fat man looked at Dustlenkai

"It's the fourth wife, Your Majesty!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, who could coldly face any powerful enemy at sea.

"In two years, you have married four people. You really have to choose not to marry, or you can do it at an alarming rate..." The fat man blinked his eyes. "In fact, my subordinates have always followed His Majesty as an example!" Dustlen Kaiting He straightened up and said with a wry smile, "Ahem, okay, let's get down to business!" The fat man grinned slightly. In fact, why Dostelenko married four wives in one year, the report of the Supervision Department has been quite detailed. description, In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy and a young and promising Minister of the Imperial Navy, Dostronkai is definitely the target of all the forces trying to win over him. Forget about other forces, but from It was difficult for Dostelenko to handle the strings between the imperial concubines, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise. This is why Dostelenko said he was following His Majesty the Emperor as an example, but he was actually complaining to the Emperor.

"The scroll is too big and is really not suitable to be unfolded here. Your Majesty, please move to the hall." Dostronkai saluted and said with a respectful expression.

"Of course!" The fat man nodded and followed Dostronkai to the temple hall. On the ten-meter-long table used for prayer in the middle of the hall, Dostronkai first took the scroll from an officer, and then Let two officers call the emperor. It is a map. A river bending southward is located at the center line of the map.

"Your Majesty, this is the great river of the Hérault that crosses the entire Hérault Empire. I led the Imperial Navy fleet southward along this great river, passing through sixteen provinces of the Hérault and thirty-one river terminals along the way. There are sixty-four cities along the river..." Dostronkai stretched out his finger and slid along the waterway on the map. What he said was enough to make the entire high-level officials of the Ero Empire pale.

In the entire hall, only Dostronkai's voice was heard. "This secret map is an absolute secret even in the Imperial Navy. It is under my personal control. It was originally borrowed by the Imperial Navy from the internal rivers of the Eero Empire." An attempt to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Aden's navy The waterway route that the attacker has traveled, as well as the cities, ports, and river transportation networks within a range of thirty to fifty miles on both sides of the waterway, are all clearly marked on this map. "" Are they all marked? I'm afraid these cost quite a lot, right?

"This time, even the fat man was moved. Although I gave the order at the beginning, I didn't expect Dostronkai to be able to do this." The price is indeed very high. In addition to the empire's own intelligence network, there are also The number of manpower losses in our empire's navy has reached thirty-seven." Dostelenko's voice paused, a look of solemnity appeared on his face, and then he continued, "The Eero Empire is centered on the Eero River. In the developed areas, even agriculture and animal husbandry are determined by the annual flood season of the Hérault River. The Hérault River can be said to be the lifeline of the Hérault Empire, so 80% of the cities in the Hérault Empire are distributed in Within fifty miles of both sides of the large Eero river, if the Eero people knew that the Imperial Navy used the inland waterway to go south and drew such a route map, I am afraid they would fall out on the spot! Although Eero also had suspicions, they could not find any definite physical evidence and could only watch us finally leave the inland waterway!

The emperor's shining eyes stared at this road map, which was almost a national treasure. No one knew what the emperor was thinking, but the emperor's slightly heavy breathing made everyone's nerves tense! The emperor's eyes wandered over this extremely precious drawing, and finally landed on a point, which was the location of the capital of Hérault. The capital of Hérault itself is one of the hubs of the great Hérault river. The Great Plain of Hérault can become the most fertile grain-producing area, naturally because of the annual flooding of the large river. According to the agreement, the King of Hérault will eventually be handed over to the Order State.

But now from this picture, what Fatty sees is another scene. The Eero royal family has suffered heavy losses, and the royal capital has been occupied by the Order State. The Eero royal family, which has been greatly damaged, will no longer be able to restrain the unruly people in the past. In the southern region of the Hérault, once the Hérault is divided or a civil war breaks out, this large river will undoubtedly be the best channel for the empire to intervene.

But before that, he still needs to push hard to destroy the last heavy army group of the Eero Empire and completely break the last bone that supports the Eero Empire.

At this time, the guards reported that Lord Varisien was back,

Smoke and dust surged, and tens of thousands of imperial cavalry poured into the gate of the Port of Hérault like a torrent. Pope Potamia and a dozen Templars under his command were also among them. When they entered the seemingly unremarkable port of Hérault, In Luo Harbor, I originally wanted to mock the Imperial Army's crude arrangement outside the port, but I was stunned by the sight in front of me.

What appeared in front of me was not a city, but a huge contiguous war fortress, with buildings layer by layer, high-rise buildings connected together, and the buildings on both sides of the street had been converted into shooting towers. Where there were originally gates and corridors, They were all sealed up, while the imperial troops passed on the wooden planks built between the houses.

On the top floor of the high-rise house, you can see piles of things covered with gray cloth. Although I don’t know what they are, they must not be ordinary items.

"Your Highness, it's the God of Thunder!" An Imperial Templar knight was so surprised that he almost lost his voice. On the roof of another building, there were more than a dozen Imperial soldiers pushing an Imperial Thunder God. The dark luster of the Imperial Thunder God made the Holy Spirit even more shocked. When the knights thought of the massacre last night, they felt a chill rising under the winter sun.
