Realm of Power

The houses are like forests, with overlapping eaves and corners. In the warm night breeze, the lights in the city houses gather into flowing fire. The time for eating has long passed. Even though the night is deep, the hustle and bustle of the city has not subsided at all. There are signs that the casino is open all night long, so there is no quiet time on the streets. As the largest port on the Feishan coastline, it brings together the flow of funds from the entire continent. There are countless nobles and wealthy businessmen from various countries who come here every day.

Even in the quietest hours of the morning, there is a large area of ​​lights lit in the center. The tension in the Central European Barro region has little impact here. The Rila people and the Lobos are fighting for the Central European Barro trade route. They are all stationed heavily on the Sulav Platform, and the war is about to break out. The handicap here has been opened early.

"The Ruela Army still has the upper hand against the Robles Army. Although Ruila suffered heavy losses, they are elites who have fought continuously for several years. The Lobos have not fought in more than ten years, so how can they compare with the Ruela people?"

"But you can't say that. Since the Hungarian Rebellion, Ruila has plummeted. The domestic standing army has dropped sharply from the original 300,000 to 100,000. If the ones sent this time are still domestic veterans who have been in battle for a long time, or there are more But this time the Ruila people sent out newly recruited youth troops, so it’s hard to say whether this battle will be won or lost.”

"The same goes for the Ruila people. They sent some young troops instead of sending elite veterans when they knew they were in the country. Isn't this a trap for themselves!"

After all, it is close to the Central European Barrow region. The Central European Barrow War did not affect the pace of the Feishan area, but it was still more or less paying attention, and it did not cause too much trouble in the city. More people still watched With a lively mentality, it seems that everyone can feel the bloody storm coming from Barrow in Central Europe, but not many people can really clearly understand the inside story. At most, from the mouths of some insiders, it added a lot of talk that seemed to have happened in person, or the prospect of occasional discussions among the nobles who came to Feishan, but there was not much tension or anxiety, because no one I know that the decision on the Battle of Barrow in Central Europe will not affect the Feishan area.

The Feishan coastal area in front of me is no longer as shabby as it was a year ago. Standing on the balcony of a secret attic, blowing the slightly warm night breeze, a pair of fair and beautiful hands put a cup of hot tea on the black hair. In front of the young man, the gauze flower looked away from the window, turned away and smiled. She was dressed simply, with a pure yellow dress and a shoulder strap wrapped around her neck and arms. Her hair was tied into a beautiful bun on her head, and there was another So fresh and beautiful. There is a kind of implicit coldness and arrogance coming from the bones, which is enough to intoxicate everything in the night

The Thousand Flowers shrugged slightly and said, "The Kingdom of Ruela and the Kingdom of Robles barely mobilized the entire country in order to seize control of the China-Europe Barro trade route. Now they just touched each other lightly on the Sulav Terrace and gave way to each other." Open, I also know that this is not within the scope of my Dorok Cloud, but because it involves the control of the China-Europe Barrow Trade Route, I still hope that Your Majesty can tell me what is going on."

"It's actually very simple. In a small forest, both wild boars and wolves want to be the boss, but there is a tiger squatting outside the forest, so the wild boars and wolves dare not use their full strength. Once injured, they may become the tiger's food. So after each stretched out his paw and licked the wound, it was already clear who was the boss."

The black-haired emperor laughed disdainfully, with a flash of light in his eyes. The battle report of the Battle of Sulav Terrace had just been sent. Although the battle process described in it was generally what the emperor had expected, the Rila army quickly evacuated when they realized something was wrong. battlefield, and the Lobos people also let the other side take care of themselves Withdrawal, this is very interesting. Just when everyone thought that the Riela and the Lobos would once again start a bloody life-and-death battle in the Central European Barrow, the two sides actually fought with their non-main forces. After a while, they hurriedly let go, causing countless military strategists to have their glasses shattered on the floor.

"The tiger your Majesty talks about is the empire, right?"

Guansha Huali Bingxue was smart. She understood it immediately after just a few hints. She suddenly pursed her lips and chuckled. She glanced at him and said, "It seems that your Majesty will be disappointed this time. If the Ruila people really fight with the Lobos people, , both sides will suffer losses. Your Majesty will probably not miss this excellent opportunity. It is a pity now. Although the Ruila Army has lost Some, but only more than 10,000 people, and the Lobos used this battle to establish their prestige as the leader of the new Central European Barrow. It is no longer the same as before, just shouting, no one will take him. They take it seriously, but they deserve their reputation. I even suspect that the Rila people are deliberately cooperating with the Lobos people this time."

The black-haired emperor held one hand around the slender waist of the tulle flower that had been practicing dancing for many years, and the other hand held the delicate and beautiful white jade hand of the tulle flower that could make any man have a daydream. There was a bit of slyness in the corner of his mouth. He said, "You are right. Owitt deliberately staged this show for us and for the entire continent to see this time. Otherwise, why would he only send 30,000 youth troops?"

The gauze flower showed a moving and sweet smile, cinched her five fingers, and gently touched the tip of the emperor's nose with her fingertips. She unexpectedly said, "Acting? Your Majesty is saying that from the beginning to the end, the people of Ruila have not mastered the China-Europe Barro trade route." mean?"

The emperor's eyes became sharp and he grinned slightly. "Do you really think that Owitt, a tycoon in troubled times who almost took control of the Barro hegemony in Central Europe, would be an arrogant person who can't see the situation clearly? Rila It is true that people are proud, but it cannot fall on His Majesty Owitt. Have you ever seen a proud father who is obsessed with marrying everywhere? Have you ever seen a father who would not hesitate to fill in his two daughters in order to annex the small Rock Castle? ? This person Owitt, He is the king first, and then his father, so becoming the princess of the Rila Kingdom is a very sad thing. Only the Robles who have not left the snow-capped mountains for more than ten years would be so stupid. They really think that the Rila people want to Are you going to forcibly control the China-Europe Barrow trade route? "If I guessed correctly, before sending out the Youth Army, Owitt had already given the commander of the Youth Army a secret order, allowing him to take action if he found that something was wrong. Drop everything and evacuate immediately.”

"The moment Owitt knew that the Empire had won the battle for the Holy Capital of the Order State, he knew very well that control of the trade routes in the Barrow region of Central Europe could only be in the hands of the Empire itself. The reason why he deliberately acted arrogantly Domineering, allowing other countries to support the Lobos people covertly and covertly, Owitt's real purpose is only one "", and that is to borrow money. The sword of the empire can only remove the hidden danger of the Lobos people, not to mention that there is a precedent of the Kingdom of Biang raising a flag of rebellion. The empire won the battle in the south. When it draws its hand, it must be to punish those who dare to raise the flag. The Kingdom of Biang that rebelled against the flag was like sacrificing the flag with human blood before the war, and the Lobos were undoubtedly an excellent choice."

"So, the Lobos were sold by the Rila people?"

"It can be said that not only did he sell it, but he also helped count the money. You see, if the empire uses troops against the Kingdom of Lobos, Owitt will definitely stand up and express his righteousness and awe in accepting the punishment of the empire on behalf of the Lobos people. , anyway, the Lobos people only lost some money last time, how can they be fined this time?"

"This is the reason why I don't like to participate in the competition between countries. There is no good person in it. You are plotting against me, and I am plotting against you. But you still tricked Fei Shan into helping you watch the show, right?" After listening to the emperor's words, Gossamer Huali cooed, as one of the three intelligence departments of the empire who had just been given the position, Dorok Cloud is now under the control of Gossamer Huali, but with the Imperial Intelligence Department, which is responsible for paying attention to the situation on the entire continent, and the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department, which is responsible for the Barrow region in southern Europe, Dorok Cloud is within the scope of its responsibilities. There is almost no involvement in imperial military activities, and it is only responsible for monitoring the underground forces of the empire.

Speaking of which, it is really just to help the empire look after the situation, but this area is relatively large, involving the Feishan area, the Istan area, and the northern area of ​​​​Ero, which is fully the area of ​​the original four or five major countries. The Imperial Intelligence Department is in Obarro In the north, the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department is in the south of Obarro, and Dorok's Cloud is in the east of the Inland Sea. The three major intelligence structures of the empire basically cover the current territory of the empire.

The reappearance of tulle flowers is also extremely secretive among the high-level officials of the empire. Even the imperial military knows very little about it. Of course, it does not include Governor Feishan and former imperial adjutant general Plais. The underground forces can be allowed to run rampant in the Feishan area, among which A big reason is that the headquarters of Dorok Cloud has been moved to Feishan. Don't look at Prais's grimace in front of the emperor. It seems that he has suffered great grievances. For those who don't know, I thought this imperial minister suffered so much in Fei Shan

In fact, that's not the case at all.

This is Plais, the former Imperial Adjutant General and the former Minister of Military Affairs of Ruidian. He is a legendary figure with one foot in the imperial political world and one foot in the imperial military world. He was also a ruthless character who killed many people. Why? Maybe he was a weak person. During the war in the southern part of the empire, in order to frighten the stupidity of all forces in the Feishan area. Just in time to move, Prais has already launched several raids on the underground forces in the entire Feishan area. Any factors that are unfavorable to the empire have been eliminated. More than 20,000 imperial garrison troops transferred from the Istan area have moved in. Fei Shan, with the roster in hand, arrested more than 3,000 people at once, and finally beheaded more than 400 people.

This involved various forces within the empire. Even the imperial military sent people to plead for mercy, but the former deputy chief rudely pushed back. Anyway, he had already risked his life and knew that His Majesty the Emperor had asked him to do something evil. Yes, the evening festival and other things have long been out of Plais’ consideration. As the most qualified person in the empire, One of the most important ministers, even the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, Hu Keqili, had to respectfully call him "Adjutant-General" in front of Plais. He had the emperor's secret order behind him. Even if the imperial princess came in person, he, Plais Si has nothing to be afraid of, not to mention his daughter is one of the princesses, and the entire Ruidian faction stands behind him

After two years of fading away from the sight of the empire's top officials, if he didn't make his return in a high-profile manner, the Ruidian faction who had been waiting for him for two years would probably be disappointed. The more Plais did in Feishan, The more powerful it is, the more it proves that Plais is still the emperor's confidant, the various forces in the empire will be wary of it. The so-called testing often means that there is a huge enemy ahead. Things, and Plais's actions in Feishan really frightened all the forces in the empire. Without the emperor's acquiescence, who would dare to transfer 20,000 troops from the Istan region to Feishan during the southern war? Without the emperor Who would dare to kill more than 400 people and arrest more than 5,000 people in one go during the southern war? You know, there are only 500,000 people in the entire Feishan coastal area!

These vacant positions will naturally be filled by people from Dorok Cloud. In this regard, Plais is not afraid of the emperor's investigation. Dorok Cloud's old business when he was in Dorok was a performance troupe. But now it controls 80% of the entertainment industry in Feishan area. Restaurants and performance venues are almost all the informants of Dorok Cloud. Although the information is messy, the information obtained is more comprehensive.

It is precisely because of this that Shasha Huali was sensitive to the fact that there was something fishy in the battle of Surav Terrace, but she didn't know where the trouble was. Now that she heard what the emperor said, Shasha Huali was extremely shocked in her heart. Even if No matter how smart she is, she would never have imagined that the fight for the Sino-European Barro trade route would actually involve With such intrigues, who would have thought that King Owit of Rila would not hesitate to fight with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers just to dig traps for the Lobos people. The better the Lobos people performed on the Sulav Platform, the more people The more the country sided with the Lobos in the Battle of Sulav Terrace, the more it drove the Lobos to death!

"Haha, do you know that there is a saying called shooting oneself in the foot? Both the Rila people and the Lobos people want to save themselves. They are so naive. Now that they have taken action, what will happen next is not what they can do. It's under control." The emperor seemed to be in good spirits. He stood on the balcony with his head held high, a hint of disdain in the corner of his mouth, and his eyes. Scanning the city like a sea of ​​lights, he said lightly, "The Rila people's youth army will be intercepted and killed halfway, and this will naturally be framed on the Lobos people. They have lost control of the China-Europe Barro trade route. Let's pay it back." Thirty thousand people died. If Yaosun’s fifty thousand Hungarian cavalry were pressing on the border at this moment, even Owit would be in a state of distress.”

"The Empire sent troops to intercept and kill the Ruila Army. Once the news leaks out, isn't Your Majesty afraid that it will cause strong unrest among the Barrow countries in Central Europe?"

"Haha, the one who sends troops to intercept and kill is naturally not the empire, but a country that is eager for the empire to forgive its mistakes. After killing the Rila army, this country will announce that all this is the result of the cooperation of the Lobos people." The gauze flowery face has a blank expression, and her fingers cover her red and attractive lips. In this early summer night, the night fire crisscrosses outlines a dimly lit scene, giving people a sense of beauty that is not like the human world.
