Realm of Power

The cold night was quietly hidden behind the hills. The crescent moon hung high above the head. The moist water on the ground reflected the cold fluorescence of the moon. Behind the hazy white mist, towering into the clouds. The peak of Glenam was reflected in Si Green's eyes. He looked at the bright lights of Glenam and saw the fluttering golden imperial flag floating above the camp. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Highness had that day. The judgment is correct Indeed, as the most discerning top strategist in the mainland, the Emperor of the Empire really sees more than just the fight for a religious order. What the Emperor of the Empire sees is how to turn the southern hegemony he already holds in his hands into the most practical interests. , killing all the remnants of Martin's army will only benefit others. For the empire, this is just a battle on the land of the religious order. No matter how many troops are invested and how many enemies are killed, the final benefits will not be attributed to them. empire

Now, there was no need to hide himself. Si Green, wearing a very ordinary robe, jumped off the horse that was even more tired than him. He only felt that the bones in his body were sore. Judging from his attire, he would only be seen as a lost wanderer. This time he came to the imperial camp without any soldiers. He also made two more turns on the way to make sure that no one was following him. Then I walked towards the light ahead and went down the muddy path on the hillside. Just as he walked down the hillside, he suddenly felt alarmed and looked up suddenly. Almost at the same moment, in the darkness in front of him, three long knives stabbed his chest and lower abdomen at the same time without warning.

Si Green's face changed greatly, and he quickly rolled over to avoid it. Although he was in the dark, the faint smell of blood emanating from the opponent's body undoubtedly did not mean that these people were murderers on the battlefield, but that they were murderous figures on the battlefield. It is not difficult to meet such a person. The empire fought in the north and south and killed countless people. It was so overwhelming. The entire Nordic Barossa stands there. I don’t know how many military experts there are, but it is not easy to meet three of them at the same time, and they are willing to cooperate with each other. You must know that each of these veterans on the battlefield is like a lone wolf. With the same arrogance, under normal circumstances, he will not lower his body to cooperate, unless there is some special situation.

There was a fierce metal collision, and the opponent's huge force directly knocked Si Green, who was not thin, into a somersault. Before Si Green could get up, he felt a sharp and bright imperial arc in front of him. The sword was already placed on his neck. The cold and sharp feeling made Si Green He directly gave up the possibility of continuing to struggle. The opponent's sword was very fast. Everything happened in an instant. A few movements caused the rabbit to rise and fall, without giving himself any chance to struggle. Moreover, the cooperation was perfect, and the surprise attack was in the air. There was a series of powerful chops in front and behind, which completely stunned him.

"Search for it. If it is a spy of the Temple Army, kill it." A cold voice said from inside the figure.

"I am Si Green, the commander-in-chief of the Sam clan. His Majesty the Imperial Emperor asked me to come here." Si Green suddenly realized and cursed himself for being stupid. He actually forgot that if the Imperial Emperor really came to Glen Yamu, then the famous person in the rumors would The imperial guards will also be sealed Locking the area near the lock, especially in the case of such a secret meeting, he looked at the person who made the voice just now, a ghostly figure covered in black clothes. Compared with the two tall and sturdy men next to him, his figure was The slender and short body is particularly conspicuous. Si Green saw that this person seemed to have a very high status, so he quickly said what he said again in the common language of Barro in southern Europe. The other party said nothing. Si Green only felt a coldness behind his back, as if the other person was coldly behind the darkness. Looking at themselves secretly, the other two The strong men in light armor searched Si Green. One of them picked up the Martin Li Ya sword that Si Green had been hit by and handed it to the thin man in the middle. "It's the weapon of the Martin Li Ya people. It looks like it might be a sword," he said. It’s the person Lord Varisien mentioned who brought our attention to it.”

The thin black figure took the long knife, looked at Si Green up and down again, lifted the long knife and handed it back to the embarrassed Si Green, and turned around with the people. This time, Si Green did not encounter anyone else along the way. situation, all the way to the front of the Imperial Army Camp, asked the guards to see Varisien , the guards had obviously received the notice, and without much delay, Siglin was taken to the front of a military tent. Standing at the door of the military tent were several sturdy and armored imperial guards, with their spears shining brightly, exuding a faint glow. There was a cold light, and the body stood as straight as a nail, motionless. The guard leading the way whispered to the imperial guard standing guard at the door. One of the imperial guards glanced at Si Green, then stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the military tent, and groaned, "Come in."

Si Green took a deep breath and strode into the military tent. "Varisien has something to do, so I asked them to bring you here." A cold voice made Si Green's face change as he just walked into the military tent. There was a slight change. There was no Varisi in the military tent. Well, on the contrary, there was another young man with black hair sitting leisurely on the bench. He was wearing a black uniform. His appearance was not outstanding, and he had a slightly generous figure. It was just the cold eyes under his eyebrows that made people laugh. Unforgettable at first sight "Who are you, Your Excellency?"

Si Green asked hesitantly. He was actually quite dissatisfied in his heart. This meeting was extremely confidential. It could be said that it involved the life and death of more than 200,000 Martinliya people, as well as more than 30 Martinliya lords, large and small. During the day, he coaxed and threatened to suppress these lords and get them to agree. The danger involved in secretly surrendering to the empire can be said to be dancing on the edge of a knife. However, Vasilion, who is on the other side of the empire, is so irresponsible and assigns such an important matter to a young man. I'm so confused, I actually think that the empire will take this matter very seriously! "I asked Varisien to notify you!" As if he could see the anger in Si Green's heart that was already erupting like a volcano, the black-haired young man grinned slightly, revealing a seemingly generous smile, but this smile made Si Green's calm face suddenly turned pale.

"I didn't know that His Majesty was here in person. It's really..." Si Green suddenly knelt on the ground. He didn't expect that it would be the emperor himself in the military tent. Although Si Green was mentally prepared, he faced this man directly. The pressure from the Military God Emperor still made him unable to suppress the shock rising in his heart: This person in front of him The young man is the emperor of the empire. In just five years, the powerful man who swept the northern European Barro and suppressed the southern European Barro did not dare to breathe. He was so young and could speak so beautifully of the southern European Barro. Although the language has a slight intonation and accent, the pronunciation is very clear. "Okay, time is tight for you and me. Forget all these red tapes, let me tell the truth. Of these 200,000 Martin Liya people, I can only let you take away 100,000. In other words, there are still ten Wan must stay in the Order Country, you know what I mean! "

The black-haired young man's tone was as calm as if he said that the weather is very good today, but for Si Green, he felt an almost irresistible and overwhelming momentum coming towards him, which was a high-spiritedness that would trample the entire earth and swallow up the world. The domineering force, the bone-chilling murderous aura that makes people shudder, the despair and suffocation that make people feel like they are facing the deepest abyss of hell,

"One hundred thousand...isn't this impossible?"

In the cold winter, Si Green said bravely, but sweat broke out on his back. He knew that what was in front of him at this moment was the most powerful monarch in the entire continent for thousands of years, and the most powerful person in the world. The territory he rules is even more vast than the Feiya Empire back then. Under his command, he has the largest and most powerful army in the entire continent. He has millions of fanatical followers. As long as he points his finger, they can do anything without hesitation. They went through fire and water for him. Under his royal banner, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. Millions of people died. The two great Nordic Barrow empires collapsed, and more than a dozen kingdoms were destroyed. All of this was because of He is willing! With his ability, even if his army could kill all the remnants of Martin Liya's army within the territory of the Order State, it would only be a matter of hands.

In fact, in the Battle of the River, this emperor had already proved who was the real number one in cavalry warfare. The empire only used 8,000 heavy armored cavalry to forcibly defeat Martin Liya's 100,000 cavalry, and Martin Liya's army died in the battle. 80,000, and 40,000 surrendered. In the end, even the commander of the army Spike was captured by the empire, and the empire's losses Only three or four thousand people were lost. This was the layout of the top strategic people in the mainland. In front of this emperor god, Si Green really couldn't stand up straight. In the face of such a terrifying momentum, Si Green felt that he could not do anything. He is a lamb to be slaughtered. Life or death depends entirely on the opponent's mood. There is no way to fight against him.

"Your Majesty, if there are only 100,000 people, I'm afraid the other lords will riot because of this!"

In just ten seconds, Si Green felt sweat flowing down his face. He struggled to support himself and forced himself to count slowly. When he reached the tenth count, he leaned forward and his head hit the cold ground heavily. , one hundred thousand lives, even if I can only save one or two thousand more, it will be worth it even if my forehead bleeds.

The black-haired emperor's eyes flashed for the first time, but he remained silent. The powerful and suffocating aura suddenly disappeared, and the tense atmosphere in the tent eased. The fat man only wanted Si Green to leave Ten Thousands of people actually want to know whether this Si Green is a bold speculator, or whether he really wants to find a way to survive for the more than 200,000 Martin troops.

If Si Green is the former, then Fatty will not hesitate to order Si Green to be executed on the spot.

Because the reputation of the Martin Liya people in cooperation is really bad, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best scumbags. In the past, they cooperated with the Kalisu people, but they stabbed the Kalisu people in the back. Later, they cooperated with the Harvey people. Cooperate and turn against the Harvey people behind their backs. The Harvey Kingdom has not yet recovered. A complete Utilitarians, selfish ambitions who only seek personal benefits, will inevitably choose to agree to give up the condition of 100,000 people in exchange for the strong support of the empire. However, once such people have overcome the embarrassment, they will become ruthless and even become ruthless. There is absolutely no possibility of cooperation with such a person who attacks the empire from behind.

And Si Green's performance is obviously the latter. In order to save more of Martin's remnants, he will not hesitate to fight against his will as the emperor of the empire. If you want to know Si Green's life and death, just one word, even if he kills Si Green, he will not hesitate to fight. It will become one of countless historical mysteries, which is barely qualified. If I continue to test myself, I am afraid that the sweaty Sam leader will faint to death. Anyone who dares to offend me under such circumstances must at least not be the kind of selfish careerist. , because the Sam leader’s proposal to secretly surrender to the empire is really too involved, too much.

In the short term, this involves the conflict that is about to break out between the Empire and the Templar Army. It involves how to end the war between the Order and the State, how to divide the interests, and how to turn the hegemony that the Empire has finally grasped into actual interests. This is Si Green's The vision is not without cruelty, leaving the empire with absolutely no possibility of rejection.

From a long-term perspective, this involves the power collusion in the Martinliya Kingdom after the war, and the rise of the Sam clan after becoming a royal family. These lords who secretly surrendered to the empire were actually equivalent to selling themselves to the Sam clan. With the Il tribe and the Ansili family suffering heavy losses, these remaining lords basically include most of the power and military strength of the Martinliya Kingdom. Once these forces are gathered in the hands of the Sam tribe, who knows what will happen. What's going on?

Even to a certain extent, this secret surrender can be described as a stroke of genius. Although the Sam tribe was also defeated, it actually enjoyed the results. Although the empire, as the victorious country, gained the hegemony of the southern European Barrow, it would not be able to do so for a long time. Judging from the results, it may be the Sam clan who has benefited the most, because the Sam clan has the first opportunity to end the rotation of the three clans that has lasted for decades and truly become the royal family of Martin Liya.

The fat man smiled lightly and said, "I heard from Varisien that your eloquence is very good, but your eloquence alone cannot convince me. Since you are not willing to keep a hundred thousand people, let you go like this." Even when I go back, I can't convince the generals under my command. , after all, they have been fighting with you for three months, and now they have finally seen victory, but you have to ask them to stop. Even the emperor cannot issue such an order unless there is enough reason for them to recognize your value." Is it worth it?”

Si Green raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "I understand what your Majesty means, but although our Martin Liya army still has 200,000 troops, all the materials were destroyed in the later period. The reason why it did not collapse is because of the empire." Willing to accept their surrender Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for me, Martin Liya Army, to show value..." Siglin stopped and hesitated. The meaning was obvious. Without food or drink, even if the empire wanted to let him Martin Liya, let’s show off. You can’t do it on an empty stomach.

"Since you are so aware, it will be easy to handle." The black-haired emperor narrowed his eyes into a thin line. "Two days later, I will order the Imperial Army to recover, and the Temple Army will go south from the Holy Capital. You should know the rest. How to do it”

"Your Majesty wants us to stop the Temple Army?" Siglin took a deep breath. Although he knew about the conflict between the Empire and the Temple Army, he did not expect that the Empire would kill him. However, he did not need to consider this kind of thing.

"This time the Temple Army is out in force, the supplies in the Holy Capital will inevitably be emptied." The black-haired emperor picked up a letter from the table, threw it in front of Si Green, and said in a solemn voice, "The position in the letter has enough support. Five days of food for 200,000 people and some of the weapons captured from you. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a way to survive. One hundred thousand temple troops were exchanged for one hundred thousand of you.”
