Realm of Power

Outside the capital of Ero, the black-haired emperor gazed at the clouds in the sky at dusk, which slowly descended, while the water vapor from the ground rose up. The two met and accumulated into spring mist on the ground, making it hazy and misty. This was a particularly lush hilly and undulating mountain range. Except for the raised part, it was all covered with green plants.

Anclo said in the back, "The terrain of the Ero area is divided into three layers. The north is a large wetland. When you reach the Ero capital area, you start to enter the plain from the wetland, then the raised slope of the central hills, until you enter In the southern region, this hilly area will continue to exist, but now the hilly area has also begun to be affected. The severe weather in the south is not just yellow sand, but also drastic changes in climate. The dry temperature has caused the central hills to shrink significantly. From the first time the yellow sand was seen in the central hilly area, a quarter of the central hills have been infected. According to the current situation, it is predicted that the central hills will disappear in forty years at most, and then the yellow sand will blow to the capital of Ero unimpeded, and will even eventually seep into the large wetlands in the north. …

The emperor suddenly showed a strong interest in the Ero region. As the former intelligence chief of the Ero royal family, Anclo naturally did not dare to hide anything. She said softly, "According to my opinion, the southern Ero region is actually not very important to the empire, because there is no way to target the yellow sand, and the disappearance of the central hills is inevitable. On the contrary, the northern wetlands should not be affected much. No matter how strong the yellow sand is, it is impossible to cover the entire Ero area of ​​more than 3,000 miles."

"You saw one side of the yellow sand, but where is the other side of the yellow sand? Have you explored it?' The black-haired emperor looked calm, tapping the marble on the windowsill with his fingers, staring into the distance and asking

"The other side?" Anclo's pretty face was surprised for a moment. This former Ero royal capital's enchanting concubine is worthy of being recognized as the first master of southern Europe's Barrow painting. Just standing there, she is like a painting, with long hair like clouds and waterfalls hanging down to the back of her back, hanging freely and freely, and her figure is even more beautiful, tall and graceful.

"The range of the yellow sand cannot be without edges. If the former Eero royal family believed that the yellow sand was blown over by the wind from the south, then the yellow sand is moving northward. Then what about the southern area that was originally covered?" The black-haired emperor smiled indifferently. He was not a person of this era, and it was even more impossible for him to believe that there was really any divine punishment. This time he decided to come to the Eero capital to take a look. In addition to the war in the south, there was another important reason. That was that the woman from the Kentam family inadvertently mentioned a possibility. That was that the yellow sand was drifting northward. Then the southern area that was originally covered should be exposed. For example, what the original holy city left in the Eero branch. For example, the Eye of God that destroyed the entire southern Ero

"The Aden people's target is the original Ero southern branch! I will immediately mobilize all forces to investigate the news in this regard!"

Anclo's delicate body trembled slightly. At this moment, she finally knew why the emperor suddenly chose to rush south instead of sitting back as usual. Even she was frightened by this bold guess at this moment. She covered her mouth with five white fingers. The figure of the Aden Red Dragon Hall appeared in the south this time. As one of the three major branches of the Holy City, the Red Dragon Hall obviously knew the importance of the Ero branch. If she couldn't even think of this, she would not be the peerless enchantress who was responsible for most of the intelligence of the Ero royal family!

"Go ahead."

The black-haired emperor nodded. He was sure of Mount Etmon's control over the Ero region. The Ero region was originally Mount Etmon's home. From the connection between Mount Etmon and the Kentam family, it can be seen that although Mount Etmon was oppressed by the Ero royal family, it was also a vine on the uncle's side, almost drilling through Ero from top to bottom. It was definitely a tree with deep roots in the Ero region. The reason why the emperor of the empire dared to invest only 30,000 people in the Ero region in the southern war, 100,000 in the Fezer West Coast, and 200,000 in the Holy City battlefield, and finally won the war of hegemony in the south, was because Mount Etmon's report that the princes in the south of Ero would never dare to really attack the capital of Ero

The southern war now seems to be invincible for the empire, but it was definitely a dangerous dance on the edge of a knife at the beginning. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. At that time, even the emperor of the empire, the god of war, could not use big moves on three fronts at the same time

, If even Mount Aitmon cannot get the relevant information, then there is no force in the entire Eero that can do this.

The Eero branch appeared, and the Red Dragon Temple of Aden also chose to intervene strongly at this moment.

The Southern Eero branch is one of the three successors of the Holy City, and the Red Dragon Temple of Aden is also one of the three successors. The only thing missing is the Order.

And Anclo didn't know that just three days ago, the black-haired emperor suddenly decided to go straight to the Eero capital, mainly because of a top-secret intelligence from the Order. The Pope of the Order, Pudamia, suddenly left the Holy City twenty days ago and his whereabouts are unknown. According to the report of the Empire's secret line in the Order, Pope Pudamia first went to the destroyed southern temple branch. After staying in the ruins of the temple branch for two days, the Pope suddenly turned east and disappeared from the sight of the eyeliner. The identity of this imperial eyeliner is definitely not low, and can even be regarded as Pudamia's confidant, holding control of one-third of the army of the Order.

Even with such an identity, Potamia did not choose to take him with him. It is enough to show that Pope Potamia probably only brought a small number of close followers with him this time, having learned the lesson of the internal chaos in the religious order. Every time Potamia leaves the Holy Capital area, he will leave some of his generals to stay in the Holy Capital. Unfortunately, this imperial informant is the one who is left behind.

After noticing the abnormality of His Highness the Pope, the informant immediately reported the situation to the empire. At the same time, because the emperor left the Feishan area at that time, twenty days had passed by the time it was delivered to the emperor. Calculating based on the distance, Potamia should have entered the Hero region for more than thirteen days, and in the Hero region, because the southern princes blocked the road to the south of the royal capital, it was impossible for the female pope to go south quietly. , the greatest possibility is that this female pope is in the capital of Aero at this moment,

The three major successor forces in the Holy City all set their sights on the southern part of Erro at this moment.

"What is the secret of the Southern Division of Aeron?" The black-haired emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly. The plan to attack the Gulf of Aden unexpectedly collided with the Southern Division of Aeron, and even the Aden fleet. Appearing at the northern entrance to the sea of ​​​​Hérault, the entire combat plan now has to be revised, otherwise the Imperial Navy may be noticed by the Aden before it enters the southern waters of ​​Hérault.

Where would Potamia be hiding in the capital of Aero?

The black-haired emperor's eyes were scanning the map of the capital of King Elro on the wall, and finally landed on a point. If he wanted to find a place that was safe and could avoid the investigation of the imperial army, then in King Elro There is only one place in the city, the Sky Temple branch.

According to the relationship between Potamia and the Sky Temple, it is easy to obtain the protection of the Sky Temple.

Since the Order State was included in the Empire's camp, Pope Potamia has frequently visited the Empire's Sky Temple headquarters and branches along the Inland Sea under the pretext of communication. As Pope, Potamia has great religious significance. He has considerable influence, and he is also the pope of a country. He is the leader of a large southern country that truly holds power. The Sky Temple was naturally extremely happy to be visited by such a person. Of course, as a black-haired young man who knew the nature of this religious female gangster, he naturally knew the purpose of His Highness the Pope's frequent visits to the Sky Temple and what he was communicating about. are all fake, it is true to seek material help from the Sky Temple.

When it comes to making money wisely and making the best use of yourself, this goddess learned the essence from the black-haired emperor.

She is the pope of the Order State and almost became the leader of the most powerful country in the south. Even after defeating the Ero Empire, she was crowned with the glory of the Valkyrie. With the fall of the Holy City War, she has actually become Barrow is truly the number one figure in religion, military, and politics in southern Europe. Being able to invite such a person to visit him is simply a blessing for the imperial merchant class who hold a large amount of wealth in their hands but are extremely eager to gain prestige. Goddess descended from heaven,

Potamia went to visit the Sky Temple branch, but those who funded the invitation were the imperial businessmen. Naturally, with the visit of His Highness the Pope, the reputation of these big businessmen who funded the project also increased, and everyone just got what they needed. , Putamia has long been accustomed to the behavior of businessmen taking advantage of her. As long as the other party can afford the money, she doesn't mind going there, because nominally, the one who invited her is the imperial state religion, Sky Saint. Damn, she just invited her normally.

She is no longer the Putamia who regarded herself as God's choice a few years ago. Just look at her experience in the past two years and you will know that because of the appearance of the ruins of the Holy City, she sent her sister to death, and then took advantage of it. The Luo Empire and the Kingdom of Aden suffered heavy losses, and launched a large-scale war between the Order State and Eero. Before they could get over the joy of taking over the capital of Eero, When Yuezhong woke up, he experienced the cruel betrayal of his own sister and was almost annihilated in the Holy Capital Rebellion War. Before he could take a breath, he was involved in the hegemonic battle between the Empire and the Martin Liga people. Five hundred thousand Martin's fangs invaded the area of ​​the Order. Large areas of towns were destroyed and the people were massacred. Only the front line of the Holy City was still struggling to support itself.

After the empire defeated Martin Fang, Potamia only expressed dissatisfaction with the empire, and was severely punished by the emperor. Although the huge religious order state was recovered, the power of Pope Potamia was It has been greatly reduced. Orders can hardly leave the Holy Capital. Even coming to the capital of Aero is like being a thief.

"This woman... come, prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Sky Temple!" The black-haired emperor glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth, and snorted with a stern face. If he wanted to know the secret of the southern branch of Erron, he naturally wanted to It’s best to ask the rightful owner. As the current pope, Potamia is definitely the first person to know the inside story. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, what would he do if he quietly came to the capital of King Aero, leaving the time to establish the country? !

The carriage was quickly prepared, and the black-haired young man stepped onto the carriage. Before he had gone a hundred meters, he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him.

"Stop, please……"

The black-haired emperor had a slight shock on his face. He moved to the window on the other side, pushed the window open, and saw a graceful shadow tumbling like a bird three times in a row. On the road in front, three imperial guards had already drawn their swords. Prepare to rush forward

"I don't mean any harm, please stop."

Atrice held a silver-white long detailed sword in her hand, and was wearing a hunting suit. She was tall and graceful, but she also had a coldness that penetrated her bones, and her frosty expression added a touch of sadness between her eyebrows. When she saw that the person in the carriage was not from Mount Edmon, but the black-haired young man she saw in Cairo Port, Atrice also had a look of surprise on her face.

"Stop, let her come over"

The black-haired young man stretched out his hand to stop the imperial guards who were drawing their swords. He narrowed his eyes into a line. He did not think that Atrice could follow him all the way with his help. The most likely possibility was that the other party knew that this was Edmon. As expected, there are disadvantages to having bigger trees and deeper trees in the mountain industry, that is, everyone knows where you are...

"Is it you?"

Atrice was somewhat out of breath, her eyes fell fiercely on the somewhat honest face of the black-haired young man, and her undulating chest was trembling.

Being able to escape from the swords of three Imperial Guards is enough to show that he has extraordinary skill, but the swords of the Imperial Guards coming from a bloody killing field are not so easy to hide. If the black-haired young man had not raised his hand, Atrice would have From the numb feeling in his sword-holding hand, he knew that he would never be able to escape the second time. Who are these people? Are ordinary Imperial soldiers of this caliber? Atrice was horrified in her heart. Although she looked soft and beautiful, she was the most proud disciple of Bolu, the master of swordsmanship in Ello. Otherwise, she would not have been able to independently support the largest smuggling guild in South Ello.

Ever since she learned that the empire promised to sell the capital of Elro to the Kentam family, but on the other hand marched its army southward without mercy, Atrice had already determined that the special envoy of the imperial military in front of her was definitely not a good person. High, otherwise how could the imperial army be about to move south, and what impact would it have on this transaction? She didn't know what the fatal impact would be. In order to restore the possible influence, she had to rush back to the capital of Eero overnight. However, due to the martial law, she could not find a way out of the city, so she wanted to come to Mount Edmund in the hope that The other party was able to see that the friendship for many years had sent him out of the capital of Elro.

"I'm going over there, do you have any ideas?" Atrice took a deep breath.

"The imperial army has moved south. Is your agreement with our Kentam family still valid? If it is still valid, please send me to the Southern Allied Forces, otherwise this agreement will be invalidated." Atrice Qingyue said softly. The voice in this forest road, although trying hard to use the common language of the empire, still has a slight foreign accent, forming an exotic and soft style.

"Now a war is imminent, and a war broke out last night. If I send you there right now, wouldn't that mean you are collaborating with the enemy? I shouldn't be so stupid, right?" The black-haired young man spread his hands, with a half-smiling expression on his lips, Seeing Atrice turn around and prepare to leave, he added, "Of course it's not completely impossible. The military is now in control of the capital of Elro. I still have some face, but before that, at least I have to know, you How did you know I was here?"

"I didn't know you were here. It's just that most of the transactions between my Kentam family and Mount Edmund were completed here, so I just came to see Mount Edmund. I didn't expect to meet you." Atrice glanced at the dozens of imperial cavalry beside the black-haired young man's carriage. She took a deep breath with cold eyes, and her long eyelashes were as beautiful as the crescent moon. Her slender and bright eyes are sparkling and even more breathtaking. The soft eye sockets make her eyes bright and shiny. The two cherry lips under her straight nose are plump and bright red. The hand holding the sword has a white complexion. , The fingers are slender, delicate and beautiful. If you eat them alone, they seem to be a pair of delicate and delicate hands. No one would have thought that they could wield a sword so fiercely and skillfully.

"Then get in the car. You don't want to walk out of the capital of Eero under the gaze of tens of thousands of the empire's troops." The black-haired emperor smiled with shining eyes, stretched out his right hand, and the guards got out of the way. a road
