Realm of Power

Snowflakes wrapped in the cold north wind formed a white glow in front of us. A group of about a hundred knights headed west from the wind and snow. Their horse hooves stepped deeply into the snowdrift in front of them. Damia suddenly stopped her horse and looked ahead with a cold look in her bright and beautiful eyes. The playful and playful image in front of the emperor was completely different. The aura she displayed at this moment was completely consistent with the identity of a country's pope. The pure white papal robe covered her beautiful figure, and her hair hung down from the inside of the hood. , in this snow-like world, it’s like the ice and snow goddess descending to the earth

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the famous ominous place in front of her. She saw that the ground in front of her became obviously low-lying and different. The round water beaches were like large and small scars, and the water surface of the water pool was rolling with bubbles, like It was like it was boiling. Although it was still hundreds of meters away, a wave of hot air was already blowing towards my face, and it was mixed with an unpleasant pungent smell.

Next to her, an older Templar knight suddenly reined in the puffing war horse, raised his finger and pointed to the huge low-lying land in front of him, and said with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, the destination is the Moon Cold Wetlands ahead. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is a very dangerous decision to cross here. The Moon Cold Wetlands has always been a special existence at the junction of northern Erro and the Order Country. , although once located centrally on the border between the two countries, Neither the Order State nor the Eero Empire has stationed troops here. In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to, but that they can’t do it. On the edge of the Moon Cold Beach, in the wind and snow, you can still vaguely see those who used loose stones and red wickers in the early years. The outline of the low city wall made of reeds is proof of the failure of the garrison."

"This place has been here for so many years, and I don't believe that no one has ever walked through it?" Putamia asked in a solemn voice with a pretty face.

"Your Highness, this is a place cursed by God. As long as people stay in the nearby area for a long time, they will have various problems, ranging from dizziness and vomiting to skin ulceration and death. Even if it is the best Doctors have no way to save it, and over time, even the most daring Soldiers don't dare to stay here for a long time, but it's not impossible to say that no one has ever entered! "The older Templar had a strange look on his face, let out a long sigh, and continued." Your Highness, do you still remember the border rebellion that broke out at the end of last year?”

"Are you talking about the time when you saw Diaku's slave?" Putamia frowned slightly and said coldly.

The Diaku people were once a small country in Barro, South Europe. In more than eighty years, the Order State moved here under the pressure of the Erro people. The first country to be wiped out was the Diaku people, and then all All the Dia'ku people became slaves. In the past few decades, under various bullying, the Dia'ku people had several rebellions, which were brutally suppressed by the Order State. In just a few decades, The Diaku people originally had a population of six million, but now only The price was less than one million. In the end, the Order State simply moved all the Dia'ku people to the border between the Order State and the Aero Empire, using the Dia'ku people as a barrier to resist the westward expansion of the Aero Empire. At the same pace, in the several invasions of the Ero Empire against the Order State, the Diaku people were the most severely damaged. The remaining population was less than 300,000. Just at the end of last year, the Diaku people on the border were destroyed. The Yaku people rebelled again and were suppressed again under the orders of Pudamia

“Exactly that time”

The older Templar nodded, with a hint of horror in his eyes as he said, "More than a hundred Kudia were cornered by the border guards and fled into the cold moon wetlands at the risk of death. In the end, only three of them were covered in scars. escaped alive, two of them died that night, and the remaining one was sent to the nearby Temple Mount Because the border guards believed that the Kudia man was possessed by the devil, I was in that camp at the time and saw with my own eyes that the living prisoner’s skin was pus-swollen and itchy all over his body. The skin was torn off piece by piece and stuffed into his mouth. I really don’t want to recall that situation. "

After listening to the words of the older Templars, although they were mentally prepared, the Templars' eyes fell on the boiling water beaches, and there was a look of horror on their faces, as if they had seen the legendary devil. In the land, Putamia's pretty face remained calm, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking. If she wanted to return to the country of the Order, this was undoubtedly the best way, but if it was really as terrible as what this Templar said, , then there is only one other way to go, and the possibility of encountering the border guards within the religious group is extremely high! Just when she was frowning and hesitating, she suddenly remembered the sound of horse hooves in the thick white fog around her.

A group of cavalry wearing religious regiment armor also slowly emerged from the outside of Lengyuetan.

When "Brush" saw this scene, the hands of the Templar Knights all grasped the hilt of the cross sword. Now they are enemies of the Order. All the Templar Knights who followed Putamia have been declared by the Order's Presbyterian Council. As a traitor, no one expected to encounter the border guards of the Order Army here. The Order Army itself and the Templars are two systems. The Templar Knights belong to the Presbyterian Church and the Pope, while the Order Army The six Grand Knights of the Knights Templar

"I am Louisia from the Frontier Guards of the Order. At the beginning of this year, I met with His Highness. I wonder if His Highness still remembers it?"

In the extremely tense atmosphere, a thick male voice came, and a high-spirited middle-aged general of the religious regiment came out. The thick black skin on his face and the multiple scars on his left cheek showed that he had experienced Through hard times and dangerous fronts. The religious general stopped in front of Potamia and looked at Pope Putamia who was standing quietly in front of him, his eyes sharp and cold!

"Louissia, the commander of the fifth legion of the Border Guards of the Order?"

"If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to be the legion commander at that time." Putamia's eyes fell on the legion commander's coat of arms table on Louisia's chest, revealing a look of surprise. It seems that the Temple Presbyterian Council has begun to adjust the army. Square layout

"His Royal Highness the Pope has a really good memory. At the beginning of the year, I was indeed only the deputy commander, and now, I am the commander of the fifth legion of the Border Guard Army. This is all thanks to the blessing of His Highness the Pope."

Louisia grinned, took a deep breath, and said with a muffled nose, "The Presbyterian Council has issued an order to depose you as Pope, and announced that anyone who cuts off your head can be directly promoted to the Six Knights Chief, I was just trying my luck waiting for His Highness the Pope, but I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky!”

"Luisia, are you going to kill me?" Putamia looked at him coldly.

"His Royal Highness the Pope is really humorous. As a woman, he single-handedly defeated the army of 300,000 Hérault, beheaded the Emperor Hérault, captured the capital of Hérault, and forced the Hérault royal family to move south. If the Pope with such glorious achievements returns to his country , I’m afraid that the Presbyterian Church is afraid of you, you are too good, and it is impossible for the Presbyterian Church to let you go back alive.”

"It's very ironic, isn't it? As the pope of this generation, I have accomplished the goal that all past popes have dreamed of, but in the end I am not tolerated by my own country. If this is the case, then what have all the past popes worked hard for? "Pudamia gave a sad and bitter smile.

Louisia looked silent for a while and sighed, "If His Highness the Pope thinks that this will allow me to let you go, that's impossible. I can guarantee that the sword in my hand is fast enough to cut you off before you feel any pain." Noble head, this is all I can do as a former subordinate!"

"Come out!"

Louisia shouted loudly, and in the wind and snow, she pulled out her knight sword. With the sound of sword clanging, dense sounds began to sound all around.

"Hua Hua"

That was the sound of countless people approaching here. Arrays of gleaming spears appeared in rows all around. Seeing this scene, the Templar knights following Putamia turned pale. They were surrounded by The number of enemies is at least two thousand, and they are all pike troops who specialize in restraining cavalry from escaping. Behind the pike troops, you can vaguely see the archers who have drawn their bows. The opponent does not need to rush up, just a burst of random shooting is enough. Turn His Highness the Pope into a hedgehog

Although the Templars wear heavy armor, His Highness the Pope does not

A Templar commander with red eyes looked at Louisia and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable sneak attacker, I should have killed you three years ago."

Hearing the sound, Louisia's astonished eyes fell on the Templar Knight Commander, and she suddenly let out a cold laugh, "God is really wise. I didn't expect to see you here, my respected Knight Commander Kerry." , the scar on my left side reminds me every night of the unfair treatment I received, why the person who killed my wife could be relieved of his guilt just because he was a Templar, and ultimately nothing happened, but as a person who protects his wife, But must be brutally punished? "

"But what you are protecting now, isn't it exactly what you hate the most?" said a clear voice, it was Pope Potamia

She took off her hood, her white robe was as white as snow, her brows were picturesque, and her calm face was like a rising moon. Her otherworldly temperament was fascinating. As a woman, her status as pope led the saints. The palace army defeated the southern overlord Erodi Kingdom, the formation killed the Emperor of Eero, conquered the royal capital of Eero, and incorporated the northern part of Eero, the recognized fertile land in the south, into the territory of the Order State. The heroine's heroic talents are not inferior to those of any king, and she is worthy of everyone. An incomparably shocking magic power

"It's His Holiness the Pope!"

"Oh my God, it's really His Highness the Pope. Didn't it say he was the traitor who was encircling and suppressing the Knights Templar?"

Even the soldiers of the Order Army surrounding them were making a slight commotion, with various low-pitched talking voices.

"Aren't you here to kill me?"

Potamia's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. From the soldiers' comments, she faintly felt that something was wrong. However, her frown made everyone feel pain in their hearts, as if the frown was a frown. In my heart, even Louisia was stunned and couldn't help but want to kneel down and salute!

"Your Highness, we are here to take you back to your country!"

A thick and mature voice came through from the nearby group of soldiers of the Order Army. The soldiers of the Order State spread out to both sides, revealing several figures wearing ordinary soldier armor.

Walking at the front was a middle-aged man with white hair at the temples. He was a typical soldier. Although he was not as handsome as the Templars, he had rough outlines, hair like wire, and steady steps. , a strong and vigorous spirit rushed towards his face, and the soldiers around him looked at him with ardent eyes and admiration.

The other people following him, without exception, were all commanders at the level of legion commander in the Frontier Defense Force of the Order. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the middle-aged man was the first to stand on the Pudamia war horse, with his right hand on his chest. The superior knelt down on one knee and said in a solemn voice, "General Atuo of the Border Guards welcomes the return of His Highness the Pope!"

"Carhart, the Fourth Army of the Border Guards, welcomes the return of His Highness the Pope!"

"Bohande of the Second Army of the Border Guards welcomes the return of His Royal Highness the Pope!" "Luisia, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Border Guards welcomes the return of His Royal Highness the Pope." With loud voices, the generals of the Border Guards marched on the horses of Putamia. The first one knelt down on one knee, and the last one was Louisia who looked embarrassed.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Putamia looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on one knee in front of her horse, and there was a hint of water vapor stirring in his eyes. Atuo, the commander-in-chief of the border defense force of the Order, was once the sister of Putamia. Swordsmanship teacher, the situation in front of us has changed so much that everyone can’t react.

Although the Border Guards of the Order State is not an elite military force, the total number is about 50,000. In fact, the Border Guards of the Order State are quite miserable. They have been struggling under the strong shadow of the Eero army for decades. The religious system of the Order State resulted in the concentration of the most elite combat forces in the Knights Templar. The second is the skitarii who maintain the temple, and finally the unpopular border troops, because everyone knows that in the face of the strength of the Eero people, the role of the border troops is basically to delay the other party's infiltration. It was up to the Knights Templar to solve the problem. As time went by, the border army turned into a motley crew.

But things are different now. The elites of the religious regiment are basically under the command of Putamia, and the status of the frontier army is quite important. If such a military force is on Putamia's side, then Putamia will return home to win. The probability will undoubtedly be greatly increased. At least the troops in the northern part of Hérault can be calmly mobilized to join the civil war. Without being blocked by the border troops, Putamia was originally planning to sneak back quietly this time, but she also tried her best to win the support of the domestic military to fight against the Presbyterian Church. Unexpectedly, she had not yet returned to the country. The border guards have already defected to their side, which almost means that the religious group has no defense against itself in the country!

For Putamiya, the scene before her was like a dream.

Atuo, the commander-in-chief of the border guard army, stood up, with a look of disdain on his lips, and said decisively, "Our border guards have been fighting fiercely with the Ero people for so many years, and countless of our comrades have died at the hands of the Ero people. For us, Ero people People are enemies. Whoever can defeat the Eero people will be supported by us. Although the Council of Elders has issued an order, for our border guards, whoever dares to use force against His Highness who beheaded Emperor Eero is the enemy of all our border guards. "

"Long live His Holiness the Pope!"

"Long live His Holiness the Pope!"

There were sounds all around, and the soldiers knelt down in front of Liu Fengshuang. Then, the officers also knelt down. The kneeling people were all black, as if the white snow was inlaid with black human-shaped lace, with only the hands in their hands. The cold front of the spear is pointing straight into the sky like a cold mountain,

It’s the end of the year, all kinds of check-ups, headaches...
