Realm of Power

The morning on the coast of Castle Rock is like a girl's gauze, giving people a mysterious and hazy feeling. When the white water mist floats on the sea, the blue waves hit the beach of Castle Rock, leaving behind white water foam, which just retreats back. By then, it was already a piece of red like dye The color is so red that the beach is red for a hundred meters, just like a red line is drawn along the coastline. "The speed is too slow, can't it be faster? Can't we add more executioners? Only one hundred at a time More than 2,400 people need to be beheaded. Do I have to sit here all day? "On a makeshift platform on the beach, a middle-aged man wearing a black imperial general's uniform looked back from the execution ground on the beach in the distance with his muddy gray-white one eye. He let out a low, slightly impatient groan. , it was Salon, the governor of the southwestern region of the empire who returned from Barro in South Europe more than ten days ago. For the imperial general who was used to seeing heads rolling in, the execution scene in front of him was really not enough to watch. If the emperor hadn't asked him to personally sit down for the execution, He has long since left the execution ground

"This is what Prentas himself meant. He said that only by executing it in this way can the rebels be frightened."

The adjutant next to him quickly explained that on the beach in the distance, a hundred bare-armed executioners raised their sharp axes and drew cold, crackling cracks in the iron-green dawn light. , the sound of the head being chopped off is definitely not pleasant. The ax chops the bone marrow, and the head is cut off. It rolled to the ground, and the beach was dyed red with blood. Behind it, there were more people kneeling on the ground waiting, their mouths were all gagged with cloth, and they could only let out low and miserable howls. The row in front of them was slashed. After that, the imperial soldiers responsible for execution will push the second row of people up, and then the ax flashes. The executioner said with a dead expression, "Next."

"It's the fifth row. Oh my god, there are two thousand people."

"These people deserve to die. Lord Prentas, a gentle man, was almost killed by them!" Such a large-scale execution is definitely the first time in Castle Rock, which has always been tolerant to the outside world. Almost the entire Castle Rock People came out to watch. It could be said that the crowds of people were blocking the way and five thousand people were killed. The steaming imperial troops maintained order. The chilling, fierce, and strange atmosphere gathered around these imperial soldiers made everyone watching feel chills all over. These imperial soldiers were even more chilling than the execution squad that was beheading. People feel terrible, and they hear the emotionless sound of bones breaking in their ears, click! Click! Click! Every time a head was cut off, someone would put the head on a plate into a big box, check it, and loudly announce the identity and title of the deceased.

"The head examination of Mayor Flo of Castle Staru is completed"

"Inspection of the head of Viscount Mercader, the gatekeeper at Castle Rock"

"Sir, this is the list sent by the Medici family." A young adjutant wearing a black military uniform came over with a list and whispered in Salon's ear.

"List? Hasn't it been reviewed?" Salon looked a little annoyed. What is this Prentas doing? He has to look at more than two thousand names at once. Even if each side only needs to draw a big red cross, that's too much. It’s over twenty pages. Do you really think I won’t have wrist pain?

"Sir, there are only thirty people on the list this time, and they are all the female dependents of the executioners." The adjutant said in a low voice with a strange face. "The executioners in the front are all men, and there are also female dependents in the back. They can be the female dependents of nobles, and they are not bad in appearance." , Prentas adheres to the principle of waste utilization and sends this list to the adults, hoping that the adults will decide whether to give them life or death! "

"Well, this Prentas is still on the road. In fact, I have always thought that rebellion has nothing to do with women. They are just a little unlucky and with the wrong person. If someone can give them a new choice All opportunities can be corrected, right?" Salon laughed, stood up from the chair and reviewed the list again, his eyes suddenly stopped. After a moment, his face turned cold and frightened, he handed the list back to his adjutant, and asked, "Are you dizzy? How dare you bring such a list, you can't see two members of the Ruila royal family." Is the princess inside? This bastard Prentas doesn't dare to do anything himself, so he wants to borrow our hands. If His Majesty hadn't specifically mentioned the names of these two Rilla princesses, I would have been killed by you this time. "

"I'm sorry, my subordinates were negligent, so these women..." The adjutant was also taken aback and quickly nodded to admit his mistake.

"Haha, since Prentas asked us to handle it, it's easy, just let it all go."

Salon seemed to have thought of something, and finally showed a ferocious smile. Prentas had played a trick on him, so don't blame yourself. This was a clear intention to take this opportunity to make the Empire and the Rila people completely fall out. It seemed that The civil strife in the Medici family made Prentas hate him to the core, but also, who would have three of his seven wives killed? , because they were humiliated, two people jumped naked from a tall building, in front of the eyes of people on the street. I am afraid they will do this, so this time Prentas went on such a killing spree, and the empire also chose to support it, but Support does not mean that there is no bottom line at all. Killing more than two thousand people is enough. These women will let Prentas go on his own. You have a headache. "Yes, I understand." The adjutant glanced at the smile on the corner of Salon's mouth. He shivered inexplicably. He turned to find Prentas and said to Prentas, "My lord said these women should not be involved in the rebellion." "They are inside, so let them go" "Let them go...!" Prentas raised his head, his face changed, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. With a look of disappointment, he deliberately included the two Rila royal princesses in the list because he hoped that Salon could accept these women. When the time comes, the fact that the empire's major generals have gotten involved with the two Rila royal princesses, even if Rila Even though the royal family was afraid of the empire, they had to choose to break with the empire. Everyone knew the pride of the Rila people.

"Is there a problem, or are you questioning Lord Salon's order?" The young adjutant naturally saw Prentas's expression in his eyes, and his heart confirmed that the other party wanted to harm the superior, and his face suddenly turned as cold as cold. knife

"Don't dare, I'll let them go right now." Prentas had already felt the clear murderous intention from Adjutant Salon. He didn't know where his little thoughts were, fearing that Salon would see through and know that if he behaved If there was any hesitation, the imperial officer would report his abnormality to Salon. Trying to maintain a humble smile, Prentas turned around and asked people to immediately release the women.

For a whole morning, the fine thick steel ax was cut until its mouth was curled up. The shirtless executioner's body was steaming with heat. He replaced it with a new ax and continued to chop, leaving thick blood for three hours. It quickly soaked the executioner's feet. Until the rows of headless corpses were carried onto the carriages that had been prepared long ago, not many people could watch them completely. Most of the people in Castle Rock who were watching did not persist for an hour before they began to vomit secretly, and the ground was covered with filth. , they celebrated all night long for the new head of the Medici family for more than ten nights in a row. The Medici family booked all the taverns in the city to serve all the guests. Everyone was free of charge and everyone had a good drink. However, unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Printas, the former head of the Medici family, secretly returned. Along with Printas, there were a total of 50,000 people who returned to Castle Rock. In the face of the absolute power of the imperial army, the rebellion of the branch of the Medici family was immediately annihilated. More than 2,000 people were killed that night, and more than 5,000 people were arrested.

This is all caused by the numerous branches of the Medici family. The Medici family in Fort Locke has always been a weirdo among the Barro forces in Central Europe. They have spread marriages widely, and they do not refuse members who return to the family for refuge, leaving behind has a pretty good reputation, but also because of marriages with many forces, there are several branches in the family. It is almost like a small Central European Barrow, which always benefits Castle Rock in diplomacy. In its own unique way, it can also have a place in the Central European Barrow where all the heroes come together, but it is also because the branch factions have thousands of connections with other forces. With so many connections, the Medici family itself is full of hidden dangers.

This is the case for this rebellion. The mainstream of the rebellion is the branch of the pro-Rila faction. Just a month ago, Prentas secretly left Castle Rock and went to South Europe Barrow. After learning about it, the Rila faction in the branch immediately contacted the group. The Kingdom of Rila, which peeked at the control of Castle Rock, joined forces. Rilla also secretly sent 1,500 people to sneak into Castle Rock to wait for an opportunity, and then every month At a family meeting, the Rayla faction launched a temporary attack. Before the escort had time to react, they used their power to quickly arrest and imprison Prentas's henchmen, seizing control of the Medici family. At the same time, on the side of the Kingdom of Rila, the 15,000-strong Rila Eleventh Legion entered the border of Castle Rock, making it clear that they wanted to take Castle Rock by force.

When the news came out, the entire Central European Barrow was in an uproar. Who in the entire Central European Barrow didn't know about the Rila people's ambitions for Castle Rock? For so many years, the Rila people were like a vicious dog staring at the fat piece of Castle Rock. Meat and saliva are almost flowing into the sea. If it weren't like this, the Medici family wouldn't have to marry like crazy everywhere.

They are building connections and spreading money everywhere, even if they are treated as the boss of other countries, they still enjoy it. Do you really think that the Medici family is sick? No, the Medici family is trying to save themselves. The only way is to marry more forces. , can make the people of Ruila more fearful, and there will be more resistance if they want to annex Fort Rock. Only under the shock of many forces, the evil dog Ruila dare not take action easily.

In fact, the Medici family really made the successive kings of Rilla hate it. It was obviously a big fat piece of meat, but it couldn't be eaten. So this time, His Majesty King Owitt of Rilla simply took the initiative to directly control the Medici. Although all the countries in Central Europe and other countries denounced the annexation of Fort Locke through their own methods, none of them really dared to stand up for Fort Locke.

Because there was no way to get ahead, the internal rebellion of the Medici family was ultimately the Medici family's business. The Kingdom of Rilla put heavy troops on the border, but after all, they did not send troops to Castle Rock, just as the Rilla people claimed. "The troops are pressing the border, just because we don't want other forces to intervene in the internal disputes of the Medici family. The affairs of the Medici family should be decided by the Medici family themselves. "Such a statement was shameless to a certain extent, but it caused other forces to suddenly cease their efforts, because of the fact that they did not directly send troops to Fort Locke, even if other countries in Central Europe wanted to do it. Castle Rock could only stare blankly if he said a word.

Who said Prentas, the head of the Medici family, couldn't defend himself? This kind of power struggle has been commonplace for everyone. It can only be regarded as an internal dispute within the family. On the contrary, there are really other countries fighting for the Medici family. If they speak out or support Prentas' return to the family, the Rella people will definitely protect Medea. In the name of the Qi family, they marched the army into Castle Rock, because the Rila people were justified in doing this, because the Rila people were the representatives of the empire in Barrow, Central Europe. When disputes broke out in Castle Rock as a force, as representatives of the empire, , it is the most normal thing for the Rila people to send troops into Castle Rock to control the situation.

The Empire has already won the war in the Holy Capital of the Barrow Order of Southern Europe, and the army may return at any time. Who dares to say that there is no shadow of the Empire behind the Medici branch's seizure of power?

At this moment, except for the Biang people who are still holding on to death, who would dare to touch the emperor's tiger beard for a small Rock Castle. Everyone has seen the miserable situation of the Biang people, and they want to take advantage of the southern part of the empire. It rose during the war, but more than 200,000 people starved to death in one winter. The domestic economy was completely bankrupt and the fields were barren. Once the imperial army returned, there was no telling what would happen. No matter how it has been repaired, even if the country is not destroyed, it will probably be weakened to the point where it is unable to resist. When the emperor of the empire tramples the Biang people to death, he feels that he is still unsatisfied and may repair other countries. In the empire In the eyes of the emperor, Central Europe Barrow is like the backyard of his own home. Too many weeds are not enough. Touching or rubbing them is a serious matter.

If not for this, the Rila people proposed to seize the Barro trade line between China and Europe, and the other countries did not dare to express their opposition, so they secretly pushed out the Lobos people who had been living in the snowy mountains for more than ten years and could not see the situation clearly, but Sulav In the Battle of the Platform, even though the Lobos people won the victory, they still allowed the Rila Youth Army to withdraw from the battlefield, which also shows that the Lobos people actually realized that they might have stepped into a trap.

"The affairs of the Medici family should be decided by the Medici family themselves." Just when the empire's notice about the change of Fort Locke was delivered to the monarchs of the Barrow countries in Central Europe, the 20,000 Swiss people who had returned from the Sulav Terrace retreated. The secret news that the La Youth Army was ambushed and destroyed in the Land of Three Rivers also spread wildly through the intelligence networks of various countries.

This is amazing!

The countries were shocked. Everyone knew that the Land of Three Rivers was a flat land, and it was also an area controlled by the Rila people themselves. However, in the area controlled by the Rila people, the Rila army numbering as many as 20,000 people was ambushed. After several hours of fierce fighting, they were almost completely wiped out. The meaning here is quite terrifying. This is definitely a premeditated and prepared ambush. To annihilate all 20,000 troops in an open field, it cannot be done without more than three times the strength of the troops. Arrived

Looking around, who else but the Empire could have such power!

The first thing everyone thought of was the Empire, but this conjecture was quickly overturned, because at the same time that the Empire quelled the rebellion at Fort Locke, intelligence from all forces stationed at Fort Locke stated conclusively that all 50,000 of the Empire's 50,000-strong army Helping the Medici family quell the rebellion at Castle Rock, I have definitely never been there The Land of Three Rivers, and Yaosun's 50,000 Hungarian army is on another border of Rila, more than three hundred miles away from the Land of Three Rivers where the Youth Army was destroyed. Even the cavalry cannot run in one day and one night. A back and forth, that is to say, it was not the empire that took action, but besides the empire, who else has such power?
