Realm of Power

The Eero pirates outside Cassi Island were all wiped out by the Imperial Navy. The sea was dotted with shipwrecks burning with black smoke, masts burning in flames, and half of the hulls that had sunk into the sea. Standing there Imperial Minister of State Hu Keqili watched the entire battle from the bow of the Dragon-class main battleship. Looking back from the still burning scene on the sea, he turned around, his eyes flashed, and he said in a solemn voice to Admiral Dostronkai, "Can I go to the island to have a look?" "My lord, I want to go to the island now." It is still a bit difficult. If you must go to the island, please wait until we have cleared the island of pirates."

Navy Minister Dostronkai looked slightly stunned and said in a solemn voice, "It's just an island in the sea. Although most of the Eero pirates on Cassi Island have been wiped out, there is no guarantee that there are no other pirates hiding on the island. , so if it is not necessary, it is better not to go to the island." Under the situation of total suppression, the Imperial Minister of State can be injured. If Hu Keqili is attacked on the island, the Imperial Navy will become a big joke. . Moreover, Dustromkai vaguely felt that Hu Keqili seemed to be coming to Cassi Island from the beginning. This is really strange. Hu Keqili is the general person in charge of the Imperial Army and is responsible for the Imperial Army. How could a minister with such a high position be interested in a deserted island!

"I think Commander Dostronkai can take a look at this. This was sent secretly by Feishan Governor's Mansion when I passed through Feishan waters three days ago."

Hu Keqili also knew that his request seemed too unreasonable and too reckless. As expected, it was still difficult to deceive Dostronkai, the Lord of the Navy, on the sea. He thought that there would be greater cooperation between the two parties in the future. , he decided it would be better to reveal something. Hukoqili smiled bitterly and took out a confidential letter from the cuff of his uniform jacket and handed it to Dustrunke

The red lacquer seal on the seal has been cut away, but you can still see the image of a falcon with its wings spread. This is the emblem of the Emperor himself, the Dustan family. As a branch of the Dustan family, Dustrunke is just After taking a look, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he thought to himself that this is indeed the case. Who else but His Majesty the Emperor could mobilize an important official from the empire like Hu Keqili to make a special trip to a deserted island!

The Emperor is interested in Cassis? There is indeed something wrong with Cassie Island. There have been rumors about ghosts haunting Cassie Island in the past, and there were even strange stories of sailors suddenly catching fire while going to the island to fetch water, so that Cassie Island is a symbol of the devil in this sea area. Everyone stayed away, except these because they were afraid of the empire There is almost no one around the Eero pirates who are hiding in the Navy. It’s just that such similar rumors are too much for the Imperial Navy sailing the sea. Who would really care about it, but in general, the Imperial Navy Under such circumstances, we still won’t get close to the thirty-mile radius of Cassi Island.

The sea has spirits, and the islands also have spirits. If it is not necessary, try not to provoke them. The Imperial Navy is not a materialist. On the contrary, any fleet admiral who sails in the sea is a believer in the God of the Sea, because compared to the sea, , human power is really too insignificant. Since we are soaking in the sea, life and wealth are in our hands. What is held in the hands of Poseidon may have been cloudless and whitecaps just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, there are heavy rains and hurricanes, and huge waves are surging into the sky. Even the Imperial Dragon-class battleship is just a struggling leaf in front of the raging sea. Compared to the Empire The army is confident in its own combat effectiveness, while the navy believes that the protection of Poseidon is the first priority

Dostelenko quickly returned to his normal expression, turned around and ordered to the adjutant not far away, "Let the Marines go to the island immediately to clean up the remaining pirates." Dostelenko emphasized his tone and said word by word, "Tell them, Hu Ke Lord Kili will land on Cassi Island in an hour. He must ensure that the island is absolutely safe. "All!" Hu Keqili left the Imperial Capital Ocean City and ran all the way to the seaport of Erro. ​​The emperor's first order turned out to be Cassi Island. This was definitely an important mission. As for what it was, Dus Trenkai was extremely wise and did not take the letter from Hu Keqili, but chose not to ask.

Since the emperor's secret order was only given to Hu Keqili and not directly to the Navy, he should not cause more trouble. Hu Keqili seemed to be proving, but in fact it was more like trying to drag the Navy into trouble!

"Commander, aren't you curious?" Hu Keqili's eyes flashed.

"There are many things in the sea that can make people curious, but most of them can kill people. If you want to live a long time, you have to be more curious." Dostronkai shrugged his shoulders, and it was obvious from Hu Keqili's face. Seeing the disappointed look, Hu Keqili really wanted to drag himself into the water! I don’t know what the emperor asked Hu Keqili to do, but it actually put the murderous imperial minister of affairs under great pressure.

"Yeah, if possible, I don't want to go to the island."

Hu Keqili's expression was strange, more like a depressed sigh. The secret letter was written by the emperor, and the content was from the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department. It mentioned that there was something on Cassi Island that the Eero royal family had wanted to obtain. Thing, especially means that this thing is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will suddenly explode... The predecessor of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department is Mount Edmund, who has served the Eero royal family for decades. This time the Empire wants to The southern part of Héró used a large number of troops to deal with the Hérault side. The Southern Intelligence Department, which is well-versed in the matter, will naturally be involved, and this former lackey agency of the Héro royal family specifically mentioned that things on Cassi Island seem to have extraordinary effects in changing the weather. According to the intelligence, the four southern parts of Héro Three-thirds of the area is composed of arid salt-alkali land and desert. The Hérault royal family once wanted to use this kind of thing to change the climate in the south. In the end, it seems that the things caught fire halfway before they were transported to Hérault, and six ships were burned. The ship was all ablaze

Seeing such a description, how can Hu Keqili not be afraid? Even if he is the invincible general of the empire, he cannot be indifferent to evil. The more mysterious these mysterious powers are, the more frightening they are, and the above indicates that it is sudden... The fire suddenly broke out without any warning. What kind of bad luck did he have? What Hu Keqili regrets most now is that he did not kill these guys from the Southern Intelligence Department of the Empire in advance!

"Understood, Commander!"

When Adjutant Bolando heard what Dostelenko said, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then answered in a deep voice, the commander meant to eliminate them all, what on earth is going on! Adjutant Bolando also muttered that only dead people can guarantee the absolute safety of the island, and the navy is different from the army. Under normal circumstances, after the battle, the navy will not kill all the enemies who have fallen into the water. They will not surrender until the other party surrenders. Under the circumstances, they will try their best to rescue the other party. This is an unwritten rule tacitly agreed by both sides of the navy. Unless there is hatred between the country and the family, they will generally not commit such a massacre.

"Commander, we rescued a prisoner from the wreckage at sea." Ten minutes later, a naval officer came to report

"Prisoners? Not all clean up..." Dustelenko looked over with cold eyes, and his face was cold and scary. The safest people are dead people, and the best able to keep secrets are also dead people. These Eero pirates are on Cassi Island. After staying for more than two months, I am afraid that I am here because of the secrets of Cassi Island. Naturally, I cannot leave any survivors. "Is he a senior member of the Erro Pirates?" Hu Keqili walked up from behind with a solemn expression. , going to the island put a lot of pressure on him

"The other party claimed to be the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Affairs of the Errodian Empire." The naval officer trembled slightly under Dostronkai's gaze and said quickly.

"Undersecretary of the Ministry of Affairs of the Eero Emperor!" Hu Keqili and Dostronkai couldn't help but look at each other.

"The other party also claimed to have important information about Cassi Island and asked us to give equal treatment," the naval officer said cautiously again.

"Where is the person?" Hu Keqili's eyes lit up and he almost screamed. His luck seemed to be good. He really got what he wanted. A deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Erro Empire was in Cassi On the island, it is enough to show that these Ero pirates are not real pirates, but people who are running for things on Cassie Island just like me. You can know the secrets of the island with just an interrogation, and you don't have to risk going to the island. Hu Keqili felt that he was almost ready to shout long live.

The one who was rescued was naturally the former Undersecretary of the Ministry of Affairs of the Eero Empire, Arcibia. When he realized that the Imperial Navy was obviously going to kill all the Eero pirates, the former Eero who had injured his right arm The Undersecretary of the Imperial Ministry of Affairs, struggling and shouting with all his strength, finally escaped under the cleanup of the Imperial Navy.

Cassie Island is over. Asiabia saw three warships from the Imperial Navy squadron pressing down on Cassie Island, and six transport ships full of landing infantry heading towards Cassie Island. She knew that the Empire must be the same. Coming to Cassi Island, he didn't know how much the empire had mastered, but as the person in charge specially sent to Cassi Island by the Eero royal family, in more than two months, he had almost brought the entire Cassi Island. Read it all

The gains are huge, but the losses are also huge. The secret of Cassie Island is basically no secret anymore. Under the deeper soil of Cassie Island, there are large tracts of unknown mysterious soil. This soil is white and will burn itself once exposed. , even with water, it cannot be extinguished, and wherever it is contaminated, it will burn out. In more than two months, more than 200 Eero soldiers dressed as pirates died, most of them at night. Sudden spontaneous combustion while sleeping, basically Basically starting from three to four times a day, the Eero people who dug this soil on the island fell into a huge panic. In the end, they found that only hiding in the cold tide caves on the island could reduce the possibility of spontaneous combustion. This is why the Imperial Navy The island launched a bombardment, which is why the Eero pirates immediately left the island in droves. If they did not leave Cassi Island, the biggest possibility was that they would not be killed by a random bombing by the Imperial Navy, but that a large-scale spontaneous combustion would break out again after leaving the cave. die!

"Pass my order to immediately withdraw all the troops on the island and give up the search temporarily."

After listening to Asia's description, Dostelenko's face turned pale and ugly, and he quickly said to his adjutant that it was a good thing that he caught the deputy minister of military affairs of the Ero Empire, otherwise the soldiers would have died. I don’t know, who would have thought that there would be such a thing on Cassie Island? Hu Keqili's face was also hesitant. It was too dangerous to go to the island. It would be fine to bury something like this that could spontaneously combust in the ground. From what the prisoner meant, it seemed that the Eero people would dig such things out of the ground. Come out, once the searching landing troops are found, the consequences will be disastrous! Thinking about countless soldiers suddenly starting to burn, even Hu Keqili felt his scalp numb.

At this moment, a naval officer walked over from the deck in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand. "Sir Hu Keqili, the Sulan Clippers just sent your Majesty's letter." Hu Keqili took it. I quickly cut off the paint on the letter, opened the letter, glanced at the contents, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no need to go to the island. His Majesty ordered everyone not to go to Cassi Island for the time being. And... the commander should take a look for himself. His Majesty gave it to the navy." Hu Keqili handed the letter in his hand to Dust Lunkai

"Thank God!" Dostelenko's heart fell to the ground after mentioning it. After taking a look at the letter, his face suddenly became serious. Has the battle time been advanced? One day later, Dostelenko's naval flagship arrived in the Hérault waters. The huge Dragon-class flagship parked on the offshore sea, with waves lapping against the side of the ship.

"What is the commander calling everyone to do?"

"I don't know. I only know that the army seems to have successively sent 60,000 people from the Order State into the northern part of Hérault. It seems like there is a big move."

"Are you going to attack the south of Erro? Those bastards should have given them a hard beating long ago, but this has nothing to do with our navy, right?"

In the conference room of the flagship, the admirals of the Imperial Navy squadron were sitting on the benches and discussing. Although there were only five admirals of the naval squadron here, this was already the entire strength of all the Imperial fleets in the eastern part of the inner sea. The Imperial Navy admirals who gathered orders were full of speculations about this full-scale assembly. Fully half of the Imperial Navy was already in the inland sea. There has not been a large-scale battle for more than a year. Regarding the battle that broke out in the direction of Cassi Island two days ago, the other squadron admirals sounded envious. Although there were only more than a thousand Aero pirates on Cassi Island, No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Many Thors of the Imperial Navy have not fired their cannons for several months. It would be nice to be able to have a few bursts of volley fire in the waters of Cassi Island.

All the speculations and doubts were revealed the moment the Imperial Navy Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Dustrunkai, opened the door. Dustrunkai, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Navy, asked his adjutant to put a map of Eero in front of him. The conference table was spread out, with a slight smile on his lips, and under the confused eyes of everyone, he announced to the navy admirals, "The emperor has agreed to the battle reported by the Navy Department. The plan is that from now on, the Imperial Navy will sail into the Eero estuary. "When the Imperial Navy Admiral Mo Mo heard the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, they all screamed in surprise. First they didn't believe what they just heard. After the feeling of astonishment, bursts of cheers followed. Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement, and the war started. The birds have almost faded away in the past six months! No matter where it is, just start a war!

Then, Dostronkai continued to speak, "Our ultimate goal is, of course, not just to defeat the princes in the south of Hero. The real meaning of our sending troops to the south of Hero is to use this battle to completely open the door to the southern mist." The road of the sea! Through the Sea of ​​Mist, we will launch a comprehensive attack on the Gulf of Aden."
