Realm of Power

In the Angry Eye Castle, the sound of the horn echoed shrilly in the distance, tearing through the layers of white mist in the rain.

"The people from the alliance have arrived, what can you do to the Kentam family? Could it be that your Kentam family is preparing to start a war against the entire alliance? Don't be kidding. Who doesn't know that the troops of the Kentam family are still in the central part of the country? If the troops in the territory are fully equipped with 2,000 people, then I think you are looking down upon you, not to mention In the face of such a disaster, in order to maintain the continuation of the refugees, do you, Atrice, still have two hundred people in your hands?" Luzegil laughed wildly at the corner of Atrice's mouth while raising his hand towards the Angry Eye Castle behind him." If your Kentam family doesn’t have any, I have a thousand people, do you want me to lend you some?”

Luzegier raised his right hand, like a silent signal. The originally lazy soldiers on the head of the Castle of Angry Eyes immediately changed their appearance. Clusters of heads surged, and infantry wearing chainmail filled the city. Head, there were even dozens of archers who drew their bowstrings towards this side, their swords at war, even Kenta, who was still pretending to be hanging on the top of the city, The flags of the Mu family were ruthlessly torn down, like a falling autumn leaf being thrown down from the top of the city. A flag of the Luze family replaced the flag of the Kentam family. This was a real change. The flag change means that the Luze family will truly separate from the Kentam family from now on and become an independent family instead of a vassal of the Kentam family.

It is conceivable that as long as Luzegil's arm falls, the archers on the city top will loosen their bow strings, completely ignoring the large number of refugees blocking the place, and directly cover the place with arrow rain. There are high mounds of soil, and some peasants caught from the surrounding areas are struggling to transport straw bags into these mounds. Stack these mounds higher. In the muddy water, there are more temporarily recruited militiamen standing on these mounds, which have become quite dented due to continuous heavy rain. The breaches were also blocked with wood and stones. The water level in the trench has soared to more than two meters. In a normal siege, it is impossible to fill this trench without five or six hundred lives.

Atrice's pretty face was frosty. A thousand troops were nothing compared to the Kentam family, which had mobilized eight thousand troops. However, all the main forces of the Kentam family went north, and even two thousand troops remained in the territory. No one is there. In order to maintain the chaos after the disaster, Atrice then sent out all the limited soldiers, and only 200 of them remained in the family. Luzegil insisted that he could not even send out 200 soldiers, which proved that the Luze family had planned this in advance. I am determined to break away from the Kentam family!

Seemingly thinking that the situation was settled, Kentam had to swallow this bitter pill. Luzegil was no longer willing to do the most basic perfunctory, and directly said to Atrice, "For the sake of my former master and servant, I also Don't embarrass you. When the alliance's special envoy comes, you will cooperate with me to complete the takeover ceremony. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the other three cities except your Kentam family's home city will not be like this. Like me, I will break away from your Kentam family."

"The other three cities! You... are so ruthless!" Atrice's pretty face was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became extremely pale and ugly. Her eyes revealed anger, annoyance, and even madness. The situation in front of her It has begun to get out of control, and the Kentam family has become a problem for the new royal family of Eero. The situation has basically been decided. Although I expected to encounter resistance from the old-school princes in the south, I did not expect that the other party would take action so blatantly and directly split the Kentam family from within. Hit the Kentam family's weak spot

The entire south knows that the most important condition for the Kentam family to become the new royal family of Eero is to be able to buy back the capital of Eero from the hands of the empire. Although the Kentam family is considered a wealthy family in the south, they want to acquire the capital from the empire. Spending a huge sum of money to buy back the capital of the Ero Kingdom also requires all the family funds. If you come here, you may even have to collect a tax from the territory. The wealth of the Kentam family is not concentrated in the hands of the family, but a considerable part is in the hands of the four cities in the territory, and from the road From Zegier's words, it was obvious that there might be something wrong with the vassal families in the other three cities!

This is no longer as simple as poaching, this is uprooting the Kentam family from the root! At this moment, even Atrice was in a state of confusion. The other party seized the opportunity of the flooding and suddenly attacked. Even if her father was afraid, he could only bow to the alliance, let alone herself. There was no doubt that the alliance's The purpose is to force the Kentam family to make huge concessions on future treatment of the southern issue before the Kentam family truly becomes the new royal family of Eero. It may even allow the Kentam family to declare the south as a new royal family in the name of the new royal family. An independent region, completely free from the influence and control of the northern empire!

These bastards didn't dare to negotiate with the Empire, so they simply took the idea to the Kentam family and forced the Kentam family to negotiate with the Empire. What kind of skill is this?

Atrice's pretty face was livid with anger. She immediately guessed the dirty work of the Southern Alliance. The destruction of the 30,000-strong army of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden really frightened the old-school princes in the south. No one dared to clamor for the use of force. resisted the empire, and the southern aristocratic factions collectively defected to the Kentam family, which greatly shocked the old-school princes in the south. , although these southern aristocratic factions do not have much influence in the south, they have been in the south for so many years, and their understanding of the south is not inferior to them. There is no doubt that once the empire goes south, these aristocratic factions will be the vanguard of the empire going south. , just changing the border into a Zeguo can only delay it for a while.

With these noble factions who are familiar with the south leading the way, even the bloody sand may not be able to stop them much.

"Since the Kentam family can influence the empire's division of the central part, then it may not be impossible for the empire to agree to let our south be independent." There are not a few princes in the south who are jealous of the Kentam family's sudden soaring good fortune. Originally, everyone was jealous. It’s the bitterness of living in the south, haha. We have stayed together for so many years, and the Kentam family The reputation is still good, but now the Kentam family suddenly has the opportunity to become the Eero royal family. It's like a phoenix popping out of the henhouse. Anyone else would be unbalanced. Without money, The Kentam family is like a phoenix that sheds its feathers, not as good as a chicken. As long as the financial resources of the Kentam family are blocked, the Kentam family will have to bow their heads.

I have to admit that there are powerful people among the southern princes, otherwise the powerful Eero royal family would not be able to do anything for decades!

"I said, as long as you give me the map of the south, even if the Kentam family has no money, the capital of Eero will be yours."

At this time, Atrice felt her hand being touched by a gentle big hand. It was the hand of the black-haired young man next to her. He was just wearing the armor of an ordinary guard. There was no sense of sharpness in the black-haired young man in the crowd. When did he stand next to Atrice, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing, rather than deciding the future life and death of the Kentam family.

"It's not that your empire is being poached, of course you can say that." Although Atrice struggled with her hands, there was an obvious breath of joy in her tone. Thinking of the arrangement when she came, her inner anger suddenly disappeared. Sweeping it all away, looking at the place where the horn sounded in the distance, there was no trace of it. Fear, this is what you have come to for yourself. Don’t say that the Kentam family does not appreciate everyone’s kindness for many years. As for the Luze family who are willing to be the vanguard of the alliance, I hope you still have the opportunity to seek happiness for yourself, otherwise we will wait. Come down, it’s not that I, the Kentam family, don’t care about the relationship between master and servant, it’s that you have hit the edge of the knife!

"Woooo" The horn representing the ceremony sounded again in the distance. The distance was obviously much closer. In the distance, a group of people and horses galloped down the long slope. The fluttering flag is embroidered with an extremely majestic palace that dominates the plateau. It is the symbol of the Southern Guardian Alliance. The palace on the flag is the former holy city, although it was already decades ago. It's an old thing, but the Southern Guardian Alliance still claims to be a descendant of the Holy City. "It's the flag of the Carey family in the alliance who is responsible for adjudicating disputes!" Atrice's eyes fell on the flag, and her face was ashen.

"The Kaili family?" The black-haired young man looked confused.

Atrice explained to the black-haired young man in a low voice, "The Kaili family is a very special existence among the southern princes. It is mainly responsible for ruling on disputes between alliance members. Under normal circumstances, the Kaili family rarely arbitrates disputes." They left the base camp, but this time they actually asked the Kaili family to come directly. It was obvious that they were not going to give us any time to prepare. As long as the Kaili family separated the Angry Eye Fort from the Kentam family, they announced that Angry Eyes The separation of Fort from the Kentam family is completely in line with the alliance regulations. Even if my Kentam family protests to the alliance afterwards, the alliance can directly refute our objection." Atrice looked at the approaching team with complicated eyes. He glanced at the black-haired young man, sighed and said, "Fortunately, you were prepared, otherwise even if my Kentam family is not poached by the alliance this time, we will no longer have the possibility of becoming the Eero royal family because of the betrayal!"

As the team approached, the faces of the people began to become clearer. The leaders were one old, two young and three nobles. The sun symbols on their shoulders were all blue. They were followed closely by more than a hundred cavalrymen from South Héro, whose speed was not very fast. , it seems that he obviously saw the flag of the Kentam cavalry that was blocked outside Glorious Castle,

The middle knight, who is in his fifties, has a short, stocky build and a dignified appearance. The two generals on his left and right are both in their thirties, but they both look proud. The older knight has a lot of badges on his chest, which makes him look very handsome. Knowing that his identity must be of no small importance, people looked around carefully with burning eyes. After meeting, he moved it to Atrice's face, and twitched the corner of his mouth with disdain. If the old fox Kentam was here, it would still be difficult to make the matter of Glorious Eye Castle breaking away from Kentam's house a reality. , now that she is just a daughter of the Kentam family, the difficulty of this matter is almost equal.

"Which one of you is from the Luze family?" The old knight ignored Atrice with a stern face, but looked at Luzegil, who was full of joy.

"I am from the Luze family, the current owner of the Angry Eyes Castle." Luzegil saluted the old knight respectfully, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"I am Kaili Suoluo from the Alliance Heavenly Temple. The Luze family requested that Raging Eye Castle join the alliance. After discussion with the alliance, it is believed that it is still necessary to seek the consent of the Kentam family of the Luze family." The old knight looked at him. At this moment, he glanced at Atrice and continued, "The Kentam family can send someone to the alliance headquarters to explain the situation. Otherwise, after three days, the alliance will regard the Kentam family as agreeing to this matter."

"Three days! It's absolutely impossible." Atrice's pretty face turned pale.

"This has been a rule of the alliance for many years. If you don't believe it, you can ask the alliance headquarters at that time."

The old knight spoke every word with a stern expression. He looked fair and stern, but in fact his tone was full of ridicule.

The three-day protest period is quite tight under normal circumstances. What's more, now that the floods are widespread, many areas have turned into swamps, and most of the roads have been destroyed. It is very difficult to reach the base camp within three days, and even if you reach the alliance, So what about the main camp, preparations have been made over there, and no one will receive the Kentam family at all. After three days, it became justifiable for the Raging Eye Castle to leave, and it could even be said that the Kentam family I wasted my time, who’s to blame!

In fact, it is very dangerous for a vassal to leave his family. In fact, when a vassal declares his separation from his family, the family's army will attack the territory almost on the same day and kill all the rebels. Everyone knows this kind of thing. The so-called The statement was nothing more than a show, so no one has actually fulfilled this rule for many years.

But this time it was taken out, and it was made clear that the Kentam family was incapable of suppressing this rebellion!

Three days later, Raging Eye Castle broke away, and then other vassals of the Kentam family would follow suit and separate from the Kentam family.

It was clear that the Luze family was on the rebel side, but the Kentam family, as the main family, was asked to explain the situation. This ruling barely concealed the Luze family's preference, but the old knight insisted that this was the rule of the alliance, and even Said: "Atrice, when I saw you, you were still willing to The little girl next to Tam has grown so beautiful now that time does not leave anyone behind! But rules are rules, even if I wanted to give him a favor, I can’t say anything. If I were you, I wouldn’t continue here! It’s a waste of precious time, three days is not a long time!”

"Yes, if the Kentam family does not agree with the Luze family's separation, please go to the alliance headquarters to lodge a complaint. Don't waste time here!" One of the two young knights next to the old knight said with a cold expression, "But I I just don’t know, what qualifications do you have, Atrice, to represent the entire Kentam family? Don’t forget, there are two other Kentams? Son, they are the heirs recognized by the alliance, not you, a daughter born of a concubine. It is already a great honor to be given the surname Kentam. Now you want to interfere in family affairs, this is the real trouble. The source of this, the dignified Kentam family, one of the four major southern marquis families, how could they tolerate such a rude woman’s mischief?”

This can be said to completely eliminate the possibility of the Kentam family wanting to appeal!

"Haha, does a woman want to represent the Kentam family?" A burst of ridicule from the Luze family's subordinates came from the opposite side.

"The Kentam family will not go to any alliance headquarters to lodge a complaint. Since there are still three days until it takes effect, I hope your Luze family will still exist in three days!" Amid the laughter, a deep male voice said, which didn't sound like much. It was loud, but it overpowered everyone else's voices, causing the entire audience to be silent. Only the long wind from Raging Eye Castle was blowing... Only then did everyone realize that there was actually a black-haired man next to Atrice. guard,

"What do you mean?" The old knight's eyes were solemn and his lips trembled slightly. "Young man, talking big can't solve any problems. It will only make people feel that you are overestimating your capabilities!"

"Are you overestimating your own capabilities? Haha, who knows, maybe it is, and I can't learn from it!" The black-haired young guard smiled nonchalantly, and under the eyes of the old knight opposite, he turned around and walked away with Atrice away. On a dirt slope, in full view of everyone, the camp was set up, and a red-dyed Kentam family flag was hung. It was a blood flag, symbolizing immortality!

"This woman is crazy, leave her alone." Luzegier smiled nonchalantly, and the others also looked as if they were watching a joke. The Kentam family wanted to express their separation from Suppression of Angry Eyes City, but now the Kentam family Are there any troops left? Women are indeed impulsive and shameless creatures! This is not suppression, this is self-humiliation!
