Realm of Power

As far as the eye can see, there are endless hills, dense forests, criss-crossing rivers, flat-roofed two-story houses, painted in bright brown, and large tracts of green as the dividing line between the Upper and Lower Hérault regions. From here, you can already see the Upper and Lower Hérault. Luo area Differences have begun to appear in clothing, customs, and culture. To the north of the royal capital of Aero, as a civilization that later migrated, due to the decline of the influence of Aero in the south, in the following decades, it has gradually merged with the European civilization north of the inland sea. Barrow's main civilization moves closer

In the area north of Erault, the black-haired emperor felt that he had nothing to do with the area in the northern part of Obarro, but the style of the central and southern areas of Erault in front of him was completely different. In the distance, the large river shimmered and extended towards the south. There will be large expanses of emerald green around the river, which looks like stretches of emerald carpet.

"That is the sludge area that is revealed after the floods of the big rivers recede every year. The foundation of the agricultural civilization in the Hérault region will be established in the red flood area formed after the floods of the big rivers every year. The fertile soil of humus in the floods recedes. And it was revealed that the land was fertile and naturally irrigated, so the wheat yield was twice as long as that of ordinary dry land. It is said that Hérault was The sun in the south shines longer than in the north, so the two crops of grain a year in the north can reach the miracle of three crops in the south. "Anclo, who was born in the Ayrault royal family, stood next to her, and the setting sun in the distance illuminated her. Like a completely flawless statue, its beauty can only be described in four words: "extraordinary". A pair of beautiful eyes focused on watching the large river flowing south in the distance.

“If the southern part of Hérault can achieve three crops a year as rumored, then the Hérault region will no longer have to suffer from famine.”

The black-haired emperor sighed and said that Ankluo was born in Mount Edmund. Mount Edmond had vassalized the Elo royal family decades ago, so Ancloo should be considered a native of Elo, and Mount Edmund Most of the fresh blood absorbed are orphans from wars and famines. Ankluo is undoubtedly an orphan. He doesn't know whether it was war or famine, but it definitely left an unforgettable impression on Ankluo during his childhood.

"Let's talk about the situation of the southern princes. It seems that at the beginning, the southern princes were conflicted. Although they sent their troops to march north, they stopped in front of the capital of Aero, wasting the last minute of negotiations with the empire. It’s a good opportunity. If during the Holy Capital War, the princes in the southern part of the city of Ero put forward the request to divide the upper and lower Ero from the empire, even the empire would have to bear this tone and agree.” The black-haired emperor looked far to the south. place, he said in a condensed voice

Sure enough, when His Majesty the Emperor said this, Ankluo's delicate body trembled slightly, showing an expression of silent thinking, his eyes were shining, and a look of disdain appeared on his face unconsciously, "The princes in the southern part of Aero are all a bunch of rigid people." Stubborn, one thing your Majesty said is correct. These people were unwilling to come to the north in the first place, and they are even less likely to come to the north now. The possibility of being taken advantage of is extremely high."

"At the beginning, the Eero royal family intended to divide them into two factions. One group was the nobles who chose to stay in the south, such as Atrice's Kentam family. This faction considered itself the southern Eero people and had always been with Eero. The royal family does not get along, but the royal family still respects these princes, because to a certain extent, this faction can be regarded as conservatives. When I was doing trade with the south in Mount Edmond, I mainly chose these people.

The Eero royal family also turned a blind eye to this matter because they knew that these people had no ambitions for the north.

Anklo's voice paused, his pretty face became serious, and he continued, "The other group is the convicted nobles who were exiled for decades after the Eero royal family moved north. These people are more mature than the original southerners. He was ambitious, was not welcomed by the royal family in the north, and had difficulty integrating with the southerners. He soon became divided internally. Of course, there were also the most far-sighted careerists inside, who had been waiting for the opportunity to return to the north, and this time they attacked King Aero. In all cities, this faction is also the most demanding."

"Then I have a rough idea of ​​what's going on."

A smile appeared on the corner of the black-haired emperor's mouth, "The southern part of Eero is about to be revealed. The royal family of Eero must know it, but the local faction in southern Eero may not know it, otherwise they will definitely not move north. I can feel it. The royal family deliberately encouraged the southern princes to move north. It may not mean that they did not want to use the sword of the empire to wipe out all the southern natives. With the plan of eradication, the Hérault royal family can easily unite with another faction to gain control of the south. For those Hérault nobles who were originally exiled, even if they cannot return to the north, they can gain the recognition of the Hérault royal family. Seizing control of the entire south from the native factions is no worse than returning to the north."

"How about I immediately send someone to tell the southern native princes that they were sold by the Eero royal family!"

There was a trace of unbearability on Anklo's pretty face. When she talked about the inside story about Eero, she seemed to have returned to her original identity as a princess. She was graceful and charming. Every word she spoke was full of a sense of unbearableness. She has a condescending charm, except when facing the black-haired emperor, she occasionally displays the mood of a little daughter, and has a serious and gorgeous demeanor towards others.

"Not yet. I ordered the strangulation of the scouts of the southern princes' coalition forces with all their strength, just to create a situation where everyone in the southern princes is in danger. Now telling the local faction that they were sold by the royal family and the Aden people is completely meaningless to these local faction. , because under the pressure of the imperial army, the only way they can take is to stick together to survive. At this time, it is useless to say anything."

"Yes, I understand." Ankluo nodded.

I have already seen the strangulation war launched by the empire against the coalition forces of the southern princes along the way. The corpses of the coalition scouts in the southern part of Héro can be seen almost at intervals. The appearance of the people in the south of Héro is very different from that of the people in the north. , I don’t know if it’s because of the harsh environment, but the skin of southerners is darker. And it is rougher, so the beauties in the southern part of Hero are called black pearls. Like Atrice, they are obviously half-southern and half-northern. Otherwise, they would not be sent to the north by the Kentam family as the head of the Chamber of Commerce. , otherwise, just because of the unique black color, it is enough for everyone to know that this is a southern beauty

"Don't worry, the empire will not be cruel and easy to kill. The empire doesn't have much ambition for the southern Eero. Otherwise, it would be full force to press forward instead of adopting this slow strategy." The black-haired emperor looked at the hills in the distance. The outline of the city was retracted. Others said this was a bit exaggerated. On the opposite side, the princes of Aero in the south had their scouts hanged. The logistics troops account for half of them, but the main force still has over 100,000 troops. There are also nearly 30,000 professional Red Dragon Cavalry Regiment supporting from the side. Anyone who wants to pounce on them must consider that the attack will last for a long time. Later, there is the danger of being attacked from the side by the Red Dragon Cavalry, but if it is the black-haired emperor who says this, it is another matter.

Because he is the emperor of the Falcon Empire, a military god who has never been defeated on the battlefield, and he is also the number one in the strategic layout of the mainland.

And Ankluo knew better that it was this black-haired emperor who stormed into Lutiya Castle with 20,000 imperial cavalry, and killed the Ero Emperor Farouk on the battlefield of an army of hundreds of thousands, leaving The Eero Empire, which was at its peak, turned from prosperity to decline in just one year, and directly withdrew from the array of powerful Baron countries in southern Europe.

"And I also asked Atrice to bring a message to the southern princes. The goal of the empire's southward movement is not them, but the Elro royal family and the Aden people. Ambush the Aden Red Dragon Cavalry of the imperial army, and the empire can let them return to the south safely."

Ankluo's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide, and his breathing was slightly trembling. The emperor was indeed the number one in the mainland. Before the actual battle, a stone had already been smashed into the pool of the southern princes' coalition. If the imperial army was pressing the border, Forcing the southern princes to stay together for warmth, otherwise Otherwise, they would be crushed one by one by the imperial army. Then the condition that the emperor asked Atrice to take back would simply be a heavy blow to the newly united southern princes, betraying the Eero royal family and the Aden people. , although it is still difficult for the southern princes to make a decision

But as the imperial army presses closer and closer, who knows that the southern princes will not choose to throw out the Ayrault royal family and the Aden people!

The emperor's words were obviously not only told to the southern princes, but also to the Elo royal family and the people of Aden. In the end, the relationship between the Elo royal family and the southern princes was extremely bad. The extreme suppression of the princes almost caused the southern princes to rebel. Now they are only connected because of interests. Who really takes an exiled royal family seriously?

The Aden people are even more unreliable. The Hérault region has been at war with the Aden people for decades. More than a million soldiers from both sides died at the hands of the other side. Just over a year ago, the two sides fought for the eastern entrance of the Inland Sea. If they fight, the southern princes themselves may not believe that the Aden people are here to help them. If the Aden people had not brought the powerful Red Dragon Cavalry, the southern princes would have immediately turned around and entered the Ero. Kill all the Adenites in the south

This iron triangle is not strong to begin with. No matter whether the southern princes are tempted by this move of the emperor, they will never be able to return to the original situation of uniting.

With one word, the three-point alliance on the opposite side became a reality in name only. The mountain breeze blew, and Ankluo sighed inwardly, only to realize that his back had become cold. The emperor had left, and the setting sun shone into the forest, creating an illusion. In such an unreal and beautiful world, under the hills, tens of thousands of imperial cavalry are galloping forward from the hills like several long dragons.

The imperial eagle flag stretches over seven or eight hills, illuminating the imperial army from light to dark, with an offensive line stretching for several miles. The bright armor flows and emerges in the deep mist, as if it is added to the earth. a glowing river

The empire's 80,000-strong army left the capital of Hérault. The original war situation in Hérault suddenly changed. The 200,000 coalition troops of the southern princes of Hérault showed their intention to run away before the battle. If it weren't for the empire's attack on the southern princes of Hérault, The scouts began to strangle, causing the southern coalition forces of Héro to lose the right to know the entire battlefield because the scouts were gauging their losses. They were afraid that they would have fled south long ago!

This is the empire of Barrow that has swept across the entire Nordic world! In comparison, the so-called coalition forces of the southern princes are more like clowns

"Your Majesty, we have hit the target in Gutian Forest!"

Hu Keqili galloped from a distance on horseback with an excited expression, reined in the horse in front of the emperor, and said with admiration and excitement, "After we have successively killed the scouts of the southern princes' coalition, we have set out our army and are about to launch our full force." After the illusion of attack, the Aden people really Unable to sit still, they quietly abandoned the flank of the coalition forces of the southern princes of Hérault, and chose to evacuate to the southeast. Although the opponent's cavalry ran fast, the infantry stayed behind, just in front of the fourth flag of our Central Army. Encountered, the fourth flag has been bitten now."

"Gutianlin?" The black-haired emperor curled his lips slightly. You want to get out of my hand? You want to run away after biting us. How can such a good thing happen?"

"What should we do now?" Hu Ke asked with a strange look in his eyes. How could he not know the main reason why the emperor launched the scout war? On the one hand, it was to put great pressure on the southern princes. On the other hand, it was to allow the two cavalry groups to enter without anyone noticing. The Aden people would not be willing to stay and fight the empire with the southern princes. This was something that could have been predicted long ago, but how could he know the time for the Aden people to evacuate? The emperor's approach has always been simple and violent. Since he didn't know the time for the Aden people to evacuate, he would force the Aden people to evacuate directly, turning the passive into the active!

Sure enough, the Aden people could not bear the pressure and fell for it. If the Aden people were to stick together with the Southern Allied Forces, after all, they would have a combat force of more than 100,000 people. The Empire would be afraid to attack directly with 80,000 troops. However, if the Aden people chose to abandon the Southern Allied Forces, then the Aden people would have 30,000 troops, and the Empire’s army would have an absolute advantage.

The blood of thousands of Imperial soldiers, the attack on the Temple Branch of the Ero Capital, blood for blood, tooth for tooth! The Empire chased all the way from the Ero Capital, how could it forget the tragic ambush outside the Ero Capital!

"Immediately let the Sixth and Ninth Flags of the Central Army move closer to the Fourth Flag, and tell Tukulit and Vegeta that if we can't keep the Aden cavalry, it's fine. If we can't keep the infantry, let them commit suicide." The black-haired emperor snorted grimly. The Sixth and Ninth Flags were both cavalry flags of the Central Army, with a total combat power of 13,000 imperial cavalry. Such a highly mobile force is definitely an advantage over the 30,000-strong Aden army. As long as they bite, subsequent imperial troops will continue to come in until all the Aden people are chewed up!
