Realm of Power

"Why are these imperial merchants here again? Didn't I say that we would not negotiate any trade today?"

Prince Sugar, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, was interrupted. He put down his wine glass with an unhappy look, and his tone was full of contempt. "These Imperial people are like mosquitoes, they are always annoying. If there is any way, I can slap them all to death." That's good. They say that the empire was founded on business, and its military was mighty on the outside. A sneeze will make the whole Obarro tremble. Not long ago, the Battle of the Holy Capital once again attracted the attention of the mainland and once again witnessed the ferocity of the empire. But who would have thought that the empire is so weak internally. If it were in our Kingdom of Harvey, These businessmen are collaborators and traitors to the country, and they should all be beheaded." "Who says otherwise? Originally, I came here with the determination to die this time, but who knew that nothing would happen. The empire, which has always been cruel and barbaric, was completely powerless against us. Who would believe it if I told you?" At the words of the special envoy, Duke Sukwa, the special envoy of Martin Fang Kingdom, also laughed and said

As long as there is profit to be made, these imperial merchants will not care about enemy or friendly countries. Facing the four-nation alliance, which holds a lot of money, if it is not tens of millions of trade, it is no longer something that a single chamber of commerce can handle. These major chambers of commerce in the empire can be said to be It's almost as if he didn't start a fight himself. The special envoys of the four countries are now a very famous existence in the imperial capital. Everyone worships the God of Wealth. Naturally, the special envoys of the four countries also unconsciously have contempt for the imperial merchants.

Prince Slogan, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Ikar, expressed emotion on his face, "The entire continent is aware of the cruelty and barbarism of the empire. Now we have come to touch the tiger's beard ourselves. Even if we are not bitten to death, we may not be able to escape even if we peel off a layer of skin. There you will think that the empire has arrived. To this extent, even if we bought up all the food in the Imperial Capital in one go, it would be like a slap in the face in front of the mainland countries. But logically speaking, the empire should be furious and arrest us immediately, but the empire still Not daring to make the slightest move,

Prince Slogan curled the corners of his stubble-covered mouth in disdain, and raised his voice as he said, "Even a tiger with its teeth pulled out would roar, but what we are seeing in front of us is a world made up of countless A country filled with despicable businessmen. This is the same empire that defeated our 100,000-strong coalition with 30,000 troops in the Battle of the Holy Capital. This is the same empire. The empire that swept the world during the Civil War? You know, I came here with a death wish to challenge this behemoth of the empire, and it was during the annual meeting where the empire showed its power to the entire continent. To be honest, I didn’t know what the consequences would be. I dare not think about it, and now I want to say that this kind of empire is really disappointing and boring! "

"Although everything seems to be going well, I can feel that the empire will not tolerate it forever, so I suggest that adults should be more cautious and meet those businessmen. Only then will we know what the empire wants to do!" Shikoku One of the special envoys, Biharisu, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Kalisu, did not look relaxed. He picked up the wine glass with a deep look, drank it in one gulp, licked his lips and said, "Okay, let me go and see what these businessmen want to do!" After hearing Bihasuri's words, Su Ge, the special envoy of Harvey Kingdom, also showed a solemn look on his face. He could be sent to carry out this narrow escape mission. They are not mediocre people. Don’t look at their toughness on the outside. It would be a lie to say that they are not weak at all on the inside.

The empire has such a vicious reputation. They have always been barbarians who use their fists to reason. If the eyes of all countries were not on the imperial capital, I might have died on the streets long ago. But even so, everyone can feel it now. The emperor The anger has gathered over the Imperial Capital. This is the calm before the storm.

So in the past two days, the special envoys of the four countries simply stayed in the tightly guarded villa, pretending not to see anyone. You know, because the upright prince of the Kingdom of Rila exposed the short-buying of food in public, now the entire imperial military The hostility towards the Four Nations Alliance has become even more obvious, and some imperial military ministers who attended the annual meeting even threatened to kill the special envoys of the Four Nations.

After all, this is the Imperial Capital, the home base of the empire, and the headquarters of the empire’s murderous soldiers. Who dares to say that they won’t be stabbed on the road? And what can I do here? It’s already a state of war, what else can we do? Therefore, the special envoys of the four countries are also very impressive in front of others, but walk on thin ice behind others, fearing that they will become a worthless victim.

Prince Sugar, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, put down his wine glass, straightened his collar and walked towards the door. He muttered, "I'll come back as soon as I go. Let's see what these imperial mosquitoes want to do. It's really annoying!" "I believe it will be good news," Bihari Su said with a smile. Although his head was hairy, his dark red eyebrows and mustache were thick and bushy. At first glance, Bihari looked like the owner of a beer house. Su, whose true identity is Bihari Su, the chief staff officer of King Kalisu, was the core figure in the military reform of the Kingdom of Kalisu six years ago.

The Kalisu royal family was able to seize the opportunity of the rebellion six years ago to complete a major change in the command of the entire Kalisu army. The chief staff officer, Bihari Su, had the greatest contribution.

Because he personally met with several military bosses at the time as the king's emissary, and at the expense of the king not punishing the rebel soldiers, he made several military bosses voluntarily give up control of the army, otherwise the Kalisu royal family would Wanting to reform the army is just a dream, not to mention that as now, more than 1,300 people from the Calisu Kingdom's faction have entered the army to serve in the army, and they have reached 70% of the Calisu Kingdom's army. Absolute control laid a solid foundation for Carisu's rise

Six years of unremarkable military reforms gave the Kalisu Kingdom an opportunity to rise. But even so, compared to the other three countries, the Kalisu Kingdom is still too weak! Therefore, only by voluntarily becoming a pawn can Carly Su get the support of the Southern Alliance. Bihari Su's heart was tumbling, and she looked out the glass window with a slightly gloomy look. The large red spire palace in the distance was reflected in the blue sky, like a red streak. Covering the sky, it looks so domineering and high-spirited. On this continent, only the emperor, who is known as the God of War, dares to use such a building as his palace.

It was a symbol of the empire’s military conquest. It was an existence that the monarchs of the entire continent dared not look directly at. I don’t know how many continent-shaking orders were issued from the Red Palace. It is said that in the Imperial Emperor’s office in the Red Palace, There is a red and blue map hanging all year round. The red places are the empire and the blue places are other countries. In the eyes of the emperor, the world is very simple. There are two types of empires and non-empires, and what the emperor has to do is to turn these colors into one, the red of the empire. Therefore, in five years, the empire destroyed Gaul, swallowed Gangfei, conquered Barro in Central Europe, and was annihilated. The Great Eastern Empire of Istanbul defeated 700,000 Southern Allied Forces in the Civil War. In two years, it brought thousands of miles of coastline along the Barone Sea in southern Europe into its territory.

On that map, red has occupied more than half of it. The territory is as red as blood, and the pressure of the southern European Barrow is so heavy that it can't breathe! This is the enemy the Kalisu Kingdom faces! This is the hurdle that the Kalisu Kingdom must overcome if it wants to rise!

The Southern Alliance is willing to help Calisu because it wants to use the Kingdom of Calisu to attack the empire's prestige. The Kingdom of Calisu's separation from the southern Feizean vassal country shows the world, although this has already affected the increase in power after the annexation of the southern Feizean vassal country. For Kalisu, who has the ability to establish a nation, this is an excellent opportunity to step onto the stage of a great power, but because of this, the Kingdom of Kalisu has been pushed to the forefront! This is a naked humiliation to the empire. The Great Northern Empire has never suffered such an aggrieved loss, let alone watching the Calisu Kingdom, which is like the gateway to the central part of southern Europe, fall to the Southern Alliance.

This is a dead end that cannot be bypassed. This is a war that must be fought.

It is precisely because of this that the Calisu Kingdom finally decided to fall to the Southern Alliance, even if it would attract the emperor's thunderous wrath. The army went south. The only thing we don't know now is when the empire will launch this war. Fezer When will the 100,000-strong imperial army on the northwest coast, this high-hanging sword that was polished by the nobles of Fezer's Hokuriku for two years, strike at Calisu, who has just annexed the southern land?

This will be a fight to the death! Even with the support promised by the Southern Alliance, Biharisu is also very clear that the power of the Calisu Kingdom is really different from that of the Northern Empire. The difference is huge. The national power of Calisu is only one or two provinces in the empire. , it is also because Kalisu is too weak, so Kalisu is not even qualified to become a chess player. Only through the confrontation between north and south can we have a chance to take advantage of the trend.

Danger and opportunity coexist!

As one of the three countries on the chessboard, Ikar and Martin Fang, even if they lose this game, the losses they will suffer will not be great. Anyway, the ships are full of goods that should be bought, and the task of humiliating the empire has been completed. Well, the special envoys of the Three Kingdoms can completely pat their butts and return home in glory. The country will definitely welcome them with a heroic ceremony, and then wait until they fight with the empire again. With the southern part of the Order Country taking the lead, the south The alliance may not be defeated!

But this is not the case with the Calisu Kingdom. The pawns who have crossed the line cannot go back.

In this chess game, whether for the Empire or the Southern Alliance, the status of the Kalisu Kingdom is the river-crossing pawn with no way back. For the Empire, this river-crossing pawn has already passed the center line, giving the Empire The long-awaited excuse to launch the southward march is an opportunity to once again demonstrate the empire's invincible force to the entire continent, so the empire will not let go of this opportunity!

For the Southern Alliance, even if the small country of Calisu attracts the attention of the empire, the empire will not be able to press more troops into the battlefield of the Order. Regardless of success or failure, it will be beneficial to the Southern Alliance. It only needs to give a certain amount of help to sit down. Why not reap the benefits of fishermen! In particular, the Martin Fang Kingdom can get the sea port that it has dreamed of for decades.

For Carisu, it might be a battle involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

According to the plan, once the imperial army begins to move south, the Kalisu Kingdom will send all the adult men from the occupied Feize southern kingdoms to the battlefield to use it to consume the sharp sword of the empire. Although the southern kingdoms are not large in size, their population is That's three to four hundred thousand, but if several countries add up, half a million men can still be found. No matter how sharp the empire's sword is, it can cut down all the way. After cutting off half a million heads, I'm afraid it will also take A bit blunter

For Carisu, this is enough,

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in exchange for one month. The imperial army would have to wait until after the New Year's Eve party at the earliest to break through the southern vassal country, and come with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I am afraid that the war has entered summer, and the Kali Su army The opportunity for victory lies here. When the time comes, the Kalisu army will drag the angry imperial army into a decisive battle in the dense forest!

In the land of dense forests, the Kalisu people fear no enemy! People who have never experienced a dense forest will not know how terrifying the jungle is. No matter how powerful the imperial army is, if it can exert three or four points of combat power in the dense forest, it will be the best. When the time comes, the Martin Fang Army will enter from another line. In the dense forest, the Kalisu army launched a decisive attack on the exhausted imperial army!

As long as there are no major flaws, there will be no problem with this battle plan!

Bihari Su has already carefully calculated this point! Even in order to ensure that the time for the empire to issue orders would be delayed, he, the brain that King Calisu relied on the most, did not hesitate to take the risk and come to the imperial capital in person, just to personally guard the door for this huge gamble that had the fate of the Kingdom of Calisu. He must The four-nation alliance envoys will be allowed to stay in the Imperial Capital until the end of the New Year's Eve, buying enough time for the Kalisu Kingdom to move northward and annex the southern vassal states.

Win! The success of the Kalisu Kingdom has attracted the attention of the mainland. From a vassal kingdom at the beginning, it has become a powerful country in the south! If it loses, the Kalisu Kingdom may not be destroyed, but its national power will be exhausted for decades. After all, even the imperial army dare not penetrate into the unique rainforest area of ​​the Kalisu Kingdom, but the human resources suffered due to this battle With the huge loss of wealth and wealth, coupled with the invasion of the southern Anser people, it may take at least twenty or thirty years of recovery time to recover. In such a long time, the empire may have conquered the entire southern European Barrow. What hope does the Kalisu Kingdom have then?

With the heavy burden of the rise and fall of the kingdom on his shoulders, how could Bihari Su be as relaxed and content as the other envoys from the Three Kingdoms! Every day in the Imperial Capital was a calculation for Bihari Su. The more prosperous he saw in the Imperial Capital, and the more he saw the trade of millions of imperial gold passing before his eyes, the more Bihari Su became distraught. Su unconsciously converted the imperial gold in his mind into the number of imperial troops that could be equipped, whether it was fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand...these funds. In the end, they will all become part of the powerful national power of the empire. In the eyes of Bihari Su, they will all become the shining swords of the empire that kill Carisu, the imperial cavalry that surges like thunder, and the imperial thunder god that destroys everything! "Bang!" The door of the hall was pushed open from the outside. Prince Sugar, the special envoy of Harvey Kingdom who had just gone to meet the businessman, walked in with a livid face, and was still cursing in a low voice, "A bunch of despicable people, I told you earlier." Merchants can't be trusted." "What's wrong?" Prince Slogan, the special envoy of Ikar, looked stunned. "Did the empire start to fight back?" Duke Sukwa, the special envoy of Martin, put down the wine glass in his hand with a solemn expression.

"Those merchants were so bold as to ask us to pay the full amount, and also said that if payment is not made within three days, they will cancel the order." Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the credit of the empire's merchants. Haha, ridiculous credit, I actually believe this."

"Did the empire official come forward?"

Bihari Su glanced at the red sky shadow in the distance, and said with a slight frown, "It shouldn't be, such a method is really not very clever. Could it be that the top officials of the empire only have this little ability, and they don't dare to move towards it?" Our special envoys from the four countries came, but they faced a group of businessmen Applying pressure, if this spreads, I am afraid it will make the current mess of the empire even worse. If the emperor is not in the imperial capital, this possibility is also possible, but with the emperor who is the best in the world with his layout power, you Do you believe the Empire could be so stupid?"

"It's not the top officials of the empire, it's the Princess from Central Asia who is trying to undermine us. She actually asked those chambers of commerce to buy food in full. Damn it, tens of millions of dollars. How could a down-and-out princess from the East be there?" Haha Su Ke, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Wei, said angrily that the imperial merchants' request for full payment disrupted all plans. How could it be possible to pay the full amount? Although the food is very good, there are not many ships from the four countries to transport such a large amount of food back. Even if it is transported to the south, how many transport carriages are needed to bring all the food back before the rainy season. It is impossible. The special envoys of the four countries secretly made a calculation. All of a sudden, they all denied this! "Since you can't pay, then just cancel the order."

In the silence, Bihari Su suddenly smiled, "We were not planning to buy it all. This incident has been exposed and has made the empire lose face. We can completely blame the empire for the reason for the return of the order. In this way Not only does it shake the empire’s so-called reputation as a merchant, but it also serves as an opportunity for us to take the next step, doesn’t it? suddenly light up

"Yes, this is really appropriate." Duke Sukwa, the special envoy of Martin's Tooth Kingdom, took a deep breath. "Haha, the empire has now made it clear that it will strongly support Fei Shan. This will have a great impact on the Central European Barrow countries. They are already not full, but the empire still wants to support a person who shares the food, and his appetite is greater than that of the entire Central European Barrow. The big one, what would you do if you were the monarch of Central Europe? "Bihasuri's gaze?" A chill flashed through his mind, and he tapped his fingers on the table. "Now that the Empire's bad reputation is brought out, as long as we push it a little, Central and European Barrow will inevitably cause trouble. If Central and European Barrow is unstable, the Empire's annual meeting will be even more... It’s lively, isn’t it? As long as we disrupt the Empire’s New Year’s Eve, we will take the greatest credit.”
