Realm of Power

Atrice was wearing a yellow raincoat and a tight-fitting hunting suit that made her figure even more graceful. At the edge of the vast sandy field, Atrice had a complicated look in her eyes: "This is The true face of the south of Hérault. If this rain continues like this, the yellow sand that has filled the earth for decades may really disappear completely. Lost, but the serious impact of this rain was not as good as expected. The rain has been intermittent and has been raining for seven or eight days. Although it is far less than the one that caused the destruction of the entire South Héro. It rains heavily every month, but for Southern Hérault, which has been dry for eighty years, this sudden rainy season can definitely be called a disaster.

Faced with the sudden impact of rain, the flooding area of ​​the river quickly exceeded that of previous years. The flooding area that used to be only more than 100 meters has now become more than 500 meters, and there still seems to be no sign of stopping. Not only did the floods wash away It turns out that a large number of workshops around the river and many towns were also submerged. In just a few days, Over time, the southern part of the Hérault has become a mess. Due to the dry climate, the houses in the southern part of the Hérault are basically built with earthen walls made of straw and clay. In the dry climate, this kind of earthen wall is strong and durable and can last for decades. The cost is It is even more affordable and is very suitable for the yellow sandy environment in the south. The towns of Barrow in southern Europe are basically structured like this.

But now it is soaked by rain, and large areas of dry earth houses collapsed in the rain.

"Only in the territory of the Kentam family, there are more than 20,000 refugees. If this area is expanded to the entire South Héro, it is conservatively estimated that the number of refugees will not be less than 200,000." Atalis's voice trembled slightly He said, "I heard that there are many craftsmen in the imperial army that is going south with your Excellency this time. I wonder if you can lend me some, five hundred people will be enough!"

The black-haired emperor looked slightly stunned. The request of five hundred craftsmen was not too harsh. What surprised the black-haired emperor was that the Kentam family didn't even have five hundred craftsmen?

“Where are your own craftsmen in the south?”

Atrice looked sad, thinking that more than 20,000 refugees were still exposed to the rain, she took a deep breath

"In order to attack the capital of Aero, each family wiped out almost all the craftsmen in the entire southern Aero. Now the major families have not returned yet. We are suddenly faced with such a natural disaster. Without craftsmen, even if we want to repair it, we are completely helpless. The biggest problem is that because of decades of dry climate, the construction craftsmen in southern Hérault may have forgotten how to deal with this rainy season."

"The craftsman can lend it to you, but what can you give in exchange?" the black-haired young man said nonchalantly. In fact, he knew very well that this was a natural disaster, and it was even more serious! Although the sudden rainy season made the south in a hurry, It will never reach this level. What caused this kind of flooding was precisely caused by the princes in the southern part of Héro.

Just after breaking out of the imperial encirclement, the southern princes held a meeting in Po Valley City on the border between the central and southern parts. At the meeting, someone among the southern old-school princes proposed that "just a so-called partition order, the empire will let the aristocratic faction's wallflowers not hesitate to deal with it." The royal family has rebelled. Now with the help of these nobles, the empire will be even more powerful. What if the empire also gives us a division order."

"How can this be done? Even the original Eero royal family has no such qualifications to tell us what to do." The old-school princes in the south immediately exploded. There was pressure from the imperial army in front of them. They did not dare to say anything. Now there is no pressure from the imperial army. , in the south, they are the masters. The southern princes who even dared to resist the Hérault royal family were even less likely to tolerate the empire. As locals in the south of Hérault, they even sealed off the entire south of Hérault on their own for a period of time.

"We must find a way to stop the empire from extending its hand to the south!"

"How to block it? Did you see how the Aden people died! The 30,000-strong army was wiped out in one battle, even with a commander like Poros." Hearing this, someone took a deep breath. The 30,000 Red Dragon Palace warriors of Boros were so well-equipped when they arrived. The Red Dragon Knights riding on armored horses shocked them even more. The South Although the princes were the last blow to destroy the Red Dragon Cavalry, they still admire Boros himself. Although Boros's 30,000 army was defeated by the imperial army, looking at Obarro, he can Anyone who can bring out three thousand red dragon knights under the swoop of the imperial army can definitely be regarded as one of the famous generals in any country.

"It is impossible to forcibly stop the empire from going south, but that doesn't mean that there are no other means to stop the empire from going south."

The patriarch of the Sisuolo family sneered and said, "Didn't we use the method of digging river channels when we fought against the Ero royal family in the north? We destroyed all the roads, and then dug up some of the tributaries on the periphery of the large river channel, so that The floods in the river directly turned the central and southern border areas of Hérault into a swamp. If the imperial army forced its way south, it would inevitably be trapped in the mud."

"Good idea, let's dig it again." Someone immediately agreed.

""Now is the season when the big river is full of roars, and it is such a heavy rainy season. It is completely unsuitable for the army to move in, let alone the transportation of heavy weapons like the Empire's Thor. This method is indeed feasible, but I'm afraid it won't take too long. How long, at most half a month, what about half a month later? "Some people also said that this method will not play the fundamental role in stopping the empire from moving south.

"Half a month should be enough." During the discussion, Oglini, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, and the discussion suddenly stopped. It can be seen that Oglini's weight in it

Oglini glanced at the surrounding princes and grinned, "Have you forgotten what season it will be in half a month?"

"Hiss!" There was a sudden gasp in the conference hall. After Ogliny mentioned this, everyone remembered that in half a month it will be the June blood season. The so-called June blood season is the violent period of the yellow sand in the south. Name, even if the empire wants to go south, it may not dare to come! The aristocratic factions that have defected to the imperial camp will not fail to remind their new masters of the terrifying nature of June Blood.

It's just that the southern princes didn't expect that this year's hot climate in the south would have a rainy season. This strange celestial phenomenon, which had not been used for decades, came suddenly. The southern princes were caught off guard. Originally, they only dug a small hole of more than ten meters. The gap will only flood an area of ​​more than ten miles at most. Although it is known that under the heavy rain, a huge gap of thousands of meters collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the water in the large river roared like a dragon.

The southern princes are completely out of control

The widespread floods were not just as simple as destroying houses. More than 7,000 people were missing under the floods, and countless livestock animals drowned in the floods. Only then did the princes of the southern Eero realize that they were completely out of control. So many people were missing. The corpses of people and livestock were soaked in the mud after the flood rolled over, and now they are June is the hottest season, and the floods have polluted all water sources. Dysentery has already appeared in the military camps of some southern princes. Just like the catastrophe eighty years ago, the floods drowned only a million people in Southern Elo. A deadly plague that broke out after the floods receded was responsible for the deaths of millions across Hérault.

The princes of Aero have ordered the entire line of Po Valley City to be closed.

"I heard that your people are exploring the changes in the fog at the southern estuary. I can provide a map of the original area of ​​​​South Héro. The original territory of my Kentam family was near the southern estuary, although it is now no longer It is completely shrouded in fog, but I believe that the surrounding islands will not move away yet." Atrice's eyes flashed, her chest heaved and she gritted her teeth.

The scattered stones under the yellow soil layer have been faintly exposed in the front after being washed by the rain. According to Atrice, before the catastrophe eighty years ago, this land was lower in the south, and the gravel was almost covered in front of the eyes. area, but those were the legends of the older generation. People of Atrice's generation have only seen large areas of loess since they were born. Atrice never thought that she would see this land again. The true face of the land One day, if the yellow sand really disappears, does it also mean that the fog that permeates the southern coast will also disappear. The Kentam family's dependence on the empire cannot be changed. So since the empire is interested in the southern seaport, then with the help of It will also be of great benefit to the Kentam family to use the power of the empire to figure this out. If the fog really disappears, the fertile coastline in the south of Hero will also appear in people's sight again.

"Old map of Hérault Sud?"

After hearing Atrice's words, the expression of the black-haired young man also changed slightly. The southern part of Erault is a mysterious place for the entire Obaro because of the long-term yellow sand cover. All maps about Erault, They are all only in the central and northern parts. Except for a few points in the southern part of Du Yu, all other areas are covered. They are all represented by a patch of yellow. In order to find the previous map of the southern part of Eero, the empire even looked through the King of Eero, but there was no clue at all. Now that I think about it, when Potamia sacked the capital of Eero, In addition to collecting gold, silver and jewelry, it is very likely that he is also looking for Eero's old map.

At that time, the Emperor of Eero, Farouk, had just fallen, and half a million of the Kingdom's elite troops were suddenly destroyed in Lutia Fort. People in Eero were panicked, and the army of the Order State was storming the capital of Eero. In a hurry, Eero The royal family will definitely not imprison Why did he pay attention to the old map of the southern part of Eero? The black-haired emperor is now certain that Putamia must have an old map of the Eero area in his hand. Otherwise, how could Putamia dare to enter the complete area alone with only a dozen guards? Blank Hérault South!

"Okay, let's use the old map of southern Erro in exchange for five hundred craftsmen." The black-haired emperor nodded in agreement. At this moment, the imperial guards came to report that "an unknown cavalry was spotted ahead." Sure enough, there was a team wearing golden battle armor. Helmeted warriors, holding flags, were galloping towards this side in a neat formation. The black-haired emperor could feel that Atrice's eyes fell on the flag, showing a strangely complicated expression. She seemed to know the other party. of,

"It's the golden vine of the Nanpro family"

Atrice seemed to be relieved, and unexpectedly moved closer to the black-haired young man, and whispered, "Being able to pull out a group of cavalry with such a clear-cut banner in a place like the south of Erault is enough in itself." This shows that the status is unusual. Although there are thirty-seven princes in the south of Héro, they have cavalry protection. However, only the thirteen most senior feudal lords were guarded, and even the war horses wore golden armor, symbolizing the brilliance of the sun. Only the Nanpuo family, one of the four major marquis families, was so extravagant, because Nanpuo was so luxurious. Our family is the only family that has discovered a gold mine in the entire southern territory of Hero."

The team quickly approached, and they obviously saw Atrice. Their horse pace began to slow down, and they came to a position more than 20 meters in front of the black-haired young man and stood still.

The leading rider calmly looked at Atrice through the nearly sealed golden helmet, and suddenly said in a clear voice, "I asked why it started to rain even in places like the south. It turned out to be the Kentam family." The ominous man is back. I heard that you single-handedly persuaded the empire in the north this time. If the empire agrees to sell the northern capital to your Kentam family, not only will the entire south be shocked, but even the entire Obaro will know your name. If your Kentam family really becomes the new royal family of Eero this time , you, Atrice, may not be able to win over the future emperor of your family."

"Xiguli, I don't need you to take care of the internal affairs of the Kentam family. Tell me, what are you doing at the Kentam house?" Atrice's pretty face was as cold as frost, and she looked like the other party's. The relationship was extremely bad. At this time, the black-haired young man heard Atrice say in a very small voice, "The wilderness territory you are interested in is in Nanpu."

"I'm here to deliver a message. The alliance has blocked the entrance to the south. From now on, any outsiders found must be controlled in time." The other party sneered, lifted up his helmet, and the clouds were as golden as the sun. Her hair fell down without being restrained, lining both sides of the female knight's beautiful face.

The female knight looked around, took a few deep breaths, looked at Atrice and said coldly, "The south is still the south for southerners. If you, the Kentam family, think that you can rely on the big tree of the Empire of God." It would be a big mistake to be self-righteous. Now the Southern Allied Forces have blocked the entrance. No matter how powerful the empire is, it can't help the Kentam family. You still have to see the situation clearly."

The female knight's voice paused, her eyes swept over the black-haired young man next to Atrice, and she snorted coldly, "Clang!" "A series of golden and iron sounds sounded, and the knight's sword was pointed at the black-haired young man. The female knight's beautiful eyes were even sharper, and she said word by word, "The southern entrance has been blocked. Outsider, how did you get here?" "

"Xiguli, you are too presumptuous. This is a distinguished guest of my Kentam family. What qualifications do your Nanpro family have to interfere here!" Atrice's outline is as clear as a knife, giving people a sense of firmness and determination. , with a particularly slender neck, showing an indescribable grace, his eyes flashed with a cold light like ice and snow, and the Kentam family guards around him also drew their swords.

"Well, if he can take my sword, I will pretend that I didn't see anything." The female knight looked cold and arrogant, her mouth full of disdain. "They say that the imperial warriors are unparalleled, but I didn't expect that they would hide behind women and act like a turtle." "

"Asshole, Siguli..." Atrice's pretty face was livid with anger, but the female knight suddenly let out a squeal, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed forward, her unsheathed sword flying rapidly in the air. It was whirling like a floating cloud, making people completely unaware of the direction of her long sword. Revealing martial arts skills several times better than those of Atrice.

The surrounding soldiers all drew out their weapons and shouted to support their reputation. For a moment, the open space by the river was filled with murderous intent.

The black-haired young man narrowed his eyes slightly and made a gesture secretly. The imperial guard who was already holding the hilt of the sword paused slightly. They were more than 20 meters away. They were so close that they almost moved their hooves. A strong wind hit their faces. The woman The knight's long sword came towards him like a whirlwind, and the angle it took was indeed much more tricky than that of ordinary knights, and it was difficult to block.

Atrice's eyes were filled with anger, and she was about to draw her sword when the black-haired young man moved her hand to the right. At the same time, a faint blue light shot out and came to the black-haired young man's left hand.

"when!"

The blue light is like a long strip, the sharp edge at the outermost bend of the scimitar.

"Crack!"

The female knight's whole body was shaken, her long sword was bounced away, and the second sword could no longer be fired. She was already led by the war horse and rushed to the rear. She rushed more than 20 steps away before reining in her horse and standing still. The female knight did not look back, but just raised the long sword in her hand that was obviously broken into pieces. Her face was full of shock. The voices around her also fell silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a moment.

The female knight turned around, with a look of surprise in her eyes. She stared at the blue soft sword in the black-haired young man's hand for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Is this a sword forged by the empire?"

"Xiguli, you have already lost," Atrice said first,

"So what if we lose?" The blonde female knight first stared, then her expression darkened, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I won't tell him to the alliance, but I can't go back to Nanpuo for the time being. I'm here." I came here to take refuge."

"Escape? Did something happen to Nanpro?" Ates' pretty face was stunned.

"Yes, it should be said that Nanpuo no longer exists for the time being." Tears flashed in the eyes of the blond female knight, but she held back the tears that were about to fall and said in a deep voice: "Just three days ago, I don't know what The reason is that the large rivers in Nanpuo area have exceeded the limit. Even my father Dear, the head of the Nanpuro family was also washed away again when the family fortress collapsed and he was rescuing supplies. It took more than a day to find the body. Now all the towns in Nanpuro are flooded. The Feng Suo family and the Li Lunbo family took advantage of the situation and robbed the Nanpu family. "

"How could it be..." Atrice couldn't help but be moved. The Nanpro family had been coveted because of the gold mine for a day or two. Now that it had suddenly undergone a big change, the surrounding area immediately turned against them.

"What about Huang Ling? Has Huang Ling been submerged too?" The black-haired young man was unmoved and asked coldly.

"The Desolate Territory is still there. For some reason, the flood naturally bypassed the Desolate Territory." The blond female knight unexpectedly glanced at the black-haired young man.

"Who will succeed the Nampulu family now?" Atrice stared at the female knight closely, and suddenly frowned and asked. Although the Nampulu family is one of the four major families, they are responsible for the protection of this special area in the wilderness. So I didn’t participate in the Northward Expedition.

The female knight took a deep breath and said, "Of course it's me, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Nanpuro family, Siguli."

"Haha, if that's true, then you were kicked out, right?" Atrice seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed. Everyone in the south knew that the Nanpro family had no male heirs. If it was normal, , it is absolutely possible to recruit one, but in this emergency, in order to carve up the Nanpuo family, the Fengsuo family and the Lilunbo family will definitely propose to the alliance to take over the Nanpuo family because there is no male heir in the Nanpuo family.
