Realm of Power

The Badiya Fortress is not indestructible, nor is it invincible. On the contrary, the Feishan nobles were frightened awake by a shell from the Imperial Navy. Even if the Badiya Fortress can really withstand the Imperial Army's attack, it will not be able to resist the attack from the sea. The incoming Imperial Navy fleet is just a target. There will always be a day when it is penetrated. In the past, The unknown seabirds flying back and forth on the sea also disappeared without a trace at this time. The huge imperial fleet, each dragon tooth battleship, had a large imperial eagle flag hanging on the top of the mast, fluttering in the sea breeze. , the Feishan nobles looked at the line of imperial navy warships on the gloomy sea, and felt that their whole bodies were chilled.

The Badiya Fortress cannot be defended. The bombardment of the Imperial Navy just now is enough to illustrate this point. The Imperial Navy and the Istanbul Army that originally surrounded Badiya are completely different concepts. As long as the Imperial Navy is willing, it can even attack directly from the sea. The most intuitive understanding of destroying the solid Badiya Fortress directly led to the beauty of all the Feishan nobles in the Badiya Fortress. It’s easy to imagine the collapse. Thinking of the abnormal performance of the Imperial Army in Danzig, the faces of some older nobles turned pale. The Empire obviously deliberately used Danzig as a false impression. In fact, it was the Imperial Navy that really attacked Badiya. , now it's better, both land and sea routes are completely blocked. Even if the Feishan nobles want to escape, they find that they have no wings to fly.

"The empire is so cruel. It wants to kill us all! Pack your things immediately and let's go. Badya is unreliable."

"I didn't expect the Badiya Fortress to be so useless. I don't want to stay here and wait to die!" The Feishan nobles were in chaos. Now their minds were filled with the thunder bullet that hit the Badiya Fortress from a very long distance. They didn't even think about the ongoing meeting in the council chamber, but rushed directly to their respective families and servants. , at this time, no one cares about the shame of those old immortals. What is needed most now is to get out of the quagmire of Badya immediately. I believe that soon, the Imperial Army will attack Danzig in one fell swoop. When the Imperial Navy meets up with the Badiya Fortress, everything will be over!

In the empty meeting hall, the noble leader Grace stood up from his seat calmly, gathered up a document in his hand, and handed it to Hakaris who had just been promoted to his adjutant behind him. He looked at the only person still sitting in the hall. There is no movement in the same place On the figure, he said in a solemn voice, "Your Excellency Farina, are you ready to coexist and die with Badya Fortress? If that is the case, I can only express my regret, I have to leave, because Badya Fortress The sub-fortress cannot stop the imperial army! "

"It turns out that Lord Grace knew very well that the Badya Fortress could not stop the imperial army." Farina's old body also stood up from his seat, took a deep breath, and looked at this man coldly. "Former Feishan Kingdom Minister" "Then Lord Grace, can you tell me, why did you say that everyone deceived everyone to come to Badya?" Farina did not leave, but stood in front of Grace.

"If I say it's for Fei Shan's future, can Mr. Farina believe it?" Grace's face was slightly silent. He was a pawn inserted by the emperor, but it does not mean that he has no personal thoughts at all. inside

"Let the imperial army attack Badea and kill all the Feishan nobles. Is this what the adults call Feishan's future?" Farina's eyes flashed and his face was stunned. He didn't expect Grace to say such a thing. words come

"I have always admired His Excellency Farina for his loyalty to Feishan, and I also know that His Excellency Farina regretted not accompanying His Majesty to die in Bavaria. But please believe me, the swordsmanship of the soldiers has failed. As Fei Shan’s civil servants, what we are doing now is to allow Fei Shan to continue to exist, so that Fei Shan will not disappear completely under the butcher knife of the empire. Therefore, even if it means sacrificing personal reputation, it is nothing." Grace's face was full of grandeur, and there was no hint of possible collusion with the empire. In fact, the empire passed down from the Halaka family The news that he would bypass Danzig and attack Badya by sea was kept on his desk, so that the Feishan nobles were completely confused by the sudden appearance of the Imperial Navy.

I don't understand the situation at all

According to the emperor's wishes, leaking this strategic plan to the Badiya side in advance is to allow the Feishan nobles in the Badiya Fortress to choose to escape by sea, and now transportation by sea is completely in the hands of the Hakara family. This is tantamount to forcing the Hakara family to make a choice, either siding with the empire and killing these Feishan nobles, or disobeying the empire's orders and eventually being annihilated by the empire. But unexpectedly, deliberately The leaked information will be intercepted by Grace. As the head of the Feishan nobles and the highest-level secret agent sent by the empire, Grace has completely given up on these Feishan nobles through observation during this period. After knowing this When the news came out, Grace's first thought was that these nobles would escape early, so she simply suppressed the news, so that when the imperial navy came to the city, the Feishan nobles were suddenly alert.

"Sir, is it too much to leave like this?" Hakaris, the adjutant, said hesitantly while walking in the almost empty corridor.

"Hakaris, a dozen minutes ago, there were at least fifty guards in this corridor, but now, have you seen a guard?" Grace said in a loud voice while raising her head forward. It is not admitted that Grace, who can be regarded as the leader by the nobles, in addition to her status, has a very loud voice.

"this!"

Harkaris' face darkened. The Guards were in charge here, and he was a member of the Guards. Faced with Lord Grace's inquiry, he only felt ashamed. Even the so-called Guards ran away, and he What are you talking about here?

"This is the Royal Guards. What else can you expect them to do?" Grace showed a sigh of relief and said coldly. These so-called Royal Guards are composed of young nobles and noble private soldiers. In the past, one They all have their eyes high and they have been hailed as the strongest Guards lineup since the founding of Fei Shan. But now, just a thunder bullet has caused these Guards to scatter, and the nobles have all run away. , why are they still standing here!

As we walked out of the meeting hall, the mess in front became even more obvious. Servants were running around everywhere, carrying and discarding various items all over the ground. The panicked nobles, some of whom saw Grace, turned around and left in fright. There are also some who rely on their own identities The great nobles were unwilling to pay attention to Grace. Badya obviously couldn't hold on anymore. As the leader of the rebellion, Grace could still be good, but he was afraid that he would soon become a serious criminal wanted by the empire. For Who needs to look good on such a person?

"Hurry up, pay attention to that bottle, it's an expensive product from China."

"I was really killed by that Grace. What's wrong with Badiya? It's fine now. Everyone is trapped here." The noble family members were disheveled, crying and shouting. The situation was in a mess, and they roared with gnashing teeth. With

"Don't panic, everyone. After all, the imperial army has not yet reached the city, and I have made the most complete preparations."

Grace stood on the high platform in the corridor. Her loud voice could be heard amidst the noise. The chaotic situation was suppressed for a while. The nobles raised their heads and looked at Grace. At this moment, Grace really had a few words. The aura of the savior, for the Feishan nobles who were like headless flies, Grace, who was the leader, made them even more convinced.

"Master Grace, just tell me what to do!"

"Yes, now the Imperial Navy has blocked the sea, and the Army has blocked Danze. Are we waiting here to die?"

"It's true that the Imperial Navy has blocked the sea, but don't forget that there are still six merchant ships of the Hakara family parked in our port. Those are ships that the Imperial Navy will not block. We can definitely leave on the merchant ships of the Hakara family. "Badeya" Grace looked like she was in control of the overall situation. Qing, his eyes swept over the Feishan nobles who looked at him with their heads held high. Six merchant ships of the Hakara family arrived with the news. Although they did not know the emperor's thoughts, the order given by the emperor was also this. Let the Feishan nobles leave on the merchant ship of the Halaka family.

"Yes, there is also the Hakara family's fleet at the port!" Grace's words were like a stone hitting the water, causing huge ripples in the crowd of Feishan nobles. There is an empire behind the Hakara family. Everyone knows about the support of big shots, not to mention the news that came out some time ago that the empire will move the entire Fei Shanhai The trade rights along the coastline have been given to the Hakara family. With this level of access, even the vicious Imperial Navy on the sea will not embarrass the Hakara family fleet too much. As for the Hakara family fleet, Is it still a question whether they will be transported? I didn’t see the young master of the Hakara family standing next to Master Grace.

There is hope of survival. There is no need to die. The Feishan nobles cheered and the decadent atmosphere just now was swept away.

"Has the family's fleet not left the port yet?" Hakaris, who was standing next to Grace, had confusion in his eyes. He knew about the arrival of the family's fleet a few days ago, and the family also asked him to bring a letter to Grace, for his father's initiative to communicate with Grace, Hakaris sincerely He was happy, because the empire suddenly handed over the trading rights of the Feishan Coast to the Hakara family, which had made his position in Badya extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, Lord Grace had great trust in him and promoted him to adjutant. Let Hakaris be able to raise his head slightly in front of others,

Now seeing that everyone's hope for survival lies in his family's fleet, Hakaris felt a sense of glory for the first time.

"Time is running out. The Imperial Navy also requires that the fleet will leave the port in an hour. We don't have much time." Grace's voice reached Hakaris's ears, waking up his dazed face. The surroundings were in chaos. The sound burst out again, one hour, this is too tight, there are so many things to move, my God, what can I do! The nobles are like rabbits whose tails have been burned by fire. All manners and appearances are empty. The most practical thing is to be able to escape from this imminent disaster. Bulky items are scattered all over the floor. Some living rooms were even burning. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky. People rushed towards the port. Six merchant ships flying the flag of the Hakara family were parked at the port. In order to be able to get ahead of the merchant ships and transport more The property of many nobles has been in chaos.

"Attention, departure is starting!"

A Hakara merchant ship loaded with people and various items staggered away from the port of Badya. Under the nervous eyes of everyone, it sailed into the sea blocked by the Imperial Navy. It was just as Grace said. Just like that, the Imperial Navy released the ship flying the flag of the Halakha Family Chamber of Commerce. It was not until the merchant ship finally turned into a small black spot on the sea that everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a success. The Imperial Navy Will not attack the Hakara family's fleet! The Feishan nobles who proved a point were even more crazy. One of the six ships left, leaving only five ships. Although the merchant ships were larger in size and carrying capacity, compared to the nobles, they still disliked that these merchant ships were too few. , too young. After all, he is also a noble marquis or duke, with a noble status, but now he has to be crowded on a ship with a group of slaves and servants. What a big deal!

Looking away from the doomsday-like scene in the distance, Hakaris, standing behind Grace, asked cautiously, "Sir, three ships have already left. When will we get on the ship?"

"Get on the boat and leave Badya. They can, but I can't." Grace smiled disapprovingly. "Why, do you regret it? I regret giving me, the leader of the Restoration Army, so much that I didn't even have the chance to escape." ? "

"It is my lifelong honor to be able to follow you," Hakaris said with excitement on his face as his body trembled slightly. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his neck. The second half of the words could not be conveyed immediately, and the scene in front of her suddenly went dark. In that moment, thousands of thoughts went through Grace's mind, but none of them was clear.

"Okay, let's find a room and settle this idiot. I really can't understand why there is such a big difference since we are all children of the Hakara family!" Grace waved her hand to the guards behind her.

"Sir, what should we do with that person?" the guard leader asked.

"Who?" Grace asked

"Duke Farina, he is still staying in Badea. It seems that he really wants to live and die with Badea." The guard captain said with a solemn expression. Although he is Grace's confidant, he knows that Lord Grace He is connected to the Empire, but he still has deep respect for real soldiers like Farina.

Grace was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Just let him stay. As an important military minister of the old dynasty, I missed the opportunity to be buried with His Majesty. If I can hold on to Badiya, I have no regrets."
