Realm of Power

The cold fog in the early morning is like a layer of meadows meandering on the wilderness. The ground is moist, as if a haircut has been pushed through it. The 8,000-strong army of the Tam family was in a dense formation that looked like squares. The golden rays of the Kentam family were swaying in the wind.

Under the flag, Atlicon looked proud, and the red cloak behind him was blown by the wind like a cloud.

"Your Highness, this is the declaration document that has been drafted." The attendant came up from behind and handed a document to him. Atlicon took the document from the attendant's hand with a stern expression and flipped through it. As the eldest son of the family, he has been taught since he was a child that he is the future heir of the family. After more than 20 years, Atlicolon has already regarded the Kentam family as his own in his heart.

Just like a hunting dog guarding its food, how could it be possible for others to get involved?

What's more, she is a concubine who is not even a core member of the family. If it were not for the support of the empire, the concubine would be nothing. And this time, the empire has promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kentam family. If this were not the case, how could Atlicolon dare to rectify the entire Kentam family and pull out any forces that were partial to the concubine?

The Kentam family wants to become the royal family of Ello. For a concubine to shine, it is not an honor for the Kentam family, but a shame. All the major families in South Ello are probably here at the moment. Look at the laughing stock of the Kentam family, but all this will be over soon. As long as he takes over the new camel city in front of him, he can have everything in his hands again!

Atlicon had even thought about the charges. The first was to avenge a private vendetta, which caused the Yoshizawa family, one of the four major vassals of the family, to be unbearable and rebel. In order to cover up the truth, all the more than 300 people in the Yoshizawa family were killed. Silencing is extremely cruel, and the second is holding the family hostage. Knowing that none of the core members of the family are in the south, they still He went to war against the Confederacy without permission, thereby taking the power of the family into his hands. He gained the support of quite a few vassals within the family. He also spread rumors in private that another heir should be established. He wanted to take this opportunity to ascend to the throne. He had really sinister intentions. If he hadn't returned in time, this concubine's cunning plot would have almost succeeded!

Satisfied with the announcement in front of him, Atlicolon handed it to his attendant again, "Just follow this and send it to all the major families in the south. The woman incited the family to rebel in New Camel City, and the Kentam family announced that the woman would be expelled." Outside the family, what that woman did has nothing to do with the Kentam family. The Kentam family still hopes to maintain peaceful and friendly relations with all major families and work together for the future of the south."

"Yes" the attendant took the document, nodded and left.

"It still looks very hot today." Atlicon glanced up at the fiery red sun, grinned slightly, and pretended to slowly raise his right hand, like a flag being erected, surrounded by chaos. The voices suddenly quieted down, and the more than a hundred family cavalry behind them began to straighten their bodies.

Each cavalryman carries a flag on his back, fluttering neatly backwards in the wind.

The three thousand infantrymen who were the main attackers in front were like a huge thorn and began to gather. These were the real elites of the Kentam family. The eight hundred heavy armored infantrymen with iron barrels and the two thousand six hundred assault infantrymen were already full of real Armor, not the so-called leather armor. The armor on the body comes from imperial merchants. The inner ring armor and the outer tube armor are like human pillars surrounded by steel. Just looking at it, there is a sense of hostility in the face of an inhuman existence. The entire Kentam family is like this. He only had 5,000 soldiers, and this time the Marquis of Kentam gave him 3,000 Atlicon in one go.

On both sides of the 3,000-strong main force were more than 2,000 light infantry and two 600-man shooter squadrons.

"The fifth and eighth teams begin to attack," Atlicon shouted in a deep voice. The cavalrymen carrying the flags on their backs galloped forward, just like the tail of a meteor flying across the sky, passing on the order.

"Young Patriarch, please suspend the attack. We have just received news from the city. In order to encourage the adventurers of New Camel City to fight against us, Astanak from New Camel City claimed that our army will massacre the city after breaking it. If this happens now, Attacking will definitely make one adventurer in the city think that this rumor is true, which will be very detrimental to us!"

A middle-aged general with a thick appearance and a slightly thin body hurriedly came to Atlicon. He was the general who accompanied Atlicon back to his family this time. His name was Slam, and he was forty years old. One year old, he is one of the most famous generals of the Kentam family. This time, the nominal commander of the Kentam family's army is Atlicolon. , its actual commander Slam, the battle in the Xintuocheng river in front allowed Atlicolun to attract the attention of Xintuocheng, but at the lower reaches, he broke in from two locations, using only a thousand The remaining troops defeated the obstruction of more than 2,000 adventurers in two hours and had a final say in the entire battle. It was he who commanded it.

"Massacre the city?" Atlicon's face was stunned for a moment, and then a chilling smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Although this is a rumor, it is very close to my heart. How can I seize the opportunity to show my Kentam The strength of our family was originally a headache for me, but Sir Slamu made me feel relieved a lot with just one sentence. Well, since Xintuo City has made the decision to rebel against the family, those who are still in the city should leave immediately. But they continue to stay in Xintuo City, which is enough to show that they are all accomplices of the rebels." After Trigoron said this, he subconsciously licked his lips, with a hint of madness on his gloomy face.

Didn't Atrice establish her position by slaughtering the entire Castle of Angry Eyes?

Killing sometimes represents power

Could it be that I am not as courageous as a concubine? If Atrice hadn't decisively slaughtered the rebellious Raging Eye Castle, so many people in the family might not have chosen to support her. Some family vassals even praised her, which is enough to show that in this In the fight for the family heir, brutality itself is synonymous with powerful power. Compared with the Raging Eye Castle, New Camel City is obviously more in line with the symbol of the orthodox heir of his family. He has an army of 8,000 in his hands. How can even a concubine who has rebelled against her relatives and abandoned her family be killed? Incomparable!

"Your Highness! New Camel City is not a glaring castle. There are not only adventurers in the city, but also huge properties purchased by dozens of families in the south..." Slam looked at Atlicolun's red eyes and kept saying He knew that Atlicon was eager to find an opportunity to show that he was the heir to the Kentam family, but he did not expect that Atlicon would really put his mind to this. Come

"Lord Slam, you also know how much the flooding in the south has hit the family's financial resources. The family's financial resources have reached the bottom, and the family still needs a large amount of funds to be transported to the north to complete the purchase from the empire back to the capital of Eero. Agreement, another reason why my father asked me to come back this time, originally Among the four vassals who come to the family to raise funds, Xintuocheng is the richest. It is said that there are six so-called gold selling caves and 17 casinos. According to the laws of the south, the family has the right to take back the rebels. All its territory and property, and I just follow these regulations."

Atlicon laughed and said that in order to collect the three million imperial gold to redeem the capital of Eero, the family was almost selling everything, so after stabilizing the family, the first thing to do was to directly accuse Xintuo City deliberately forced Xintuo City to drive away adventurers. This will inevitably cause Xintuo City to After a strong rebound, Atlicolen had the opportunity to take action against New Camel City. However, Atlicolon did not expect that New Camel City would be so straightforward and directly announce its separation from the Kentam family. It was really a desperate move. I will die. I originally wanted to make up a reason, but now I have omitted the reason!

"Why is Your Majesty so sure that Atlicolon will really massacre New Camel City?"

Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar Fort Sunny, the main fort of the Kentam family in the distance, Atrice turned around with a solemn face to look at the black-haired emperor on the side, wearing a white knight's armor, showing his outstanding appearance. Her graceful figure is perfectly highlighted, with her long hair like a waterfall, and the fiery red velvet cloak hanging on the ground behind her, in the morning light. She was like a flame burning under the light. She was as tall and cool as a lily. The moment her eyes fell on the black-haired emperor, her bright eyes flashed unnaturally with a trace of heat. Her status as a concubine was her biggest weakness, but If Du Atlicon, as the heir to the family, did something outrageous, that would be another matter!

"I just asked the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs to tell Marquis Kentam that if the money for the purchase of the Royal Capital of Eero cannot be raised within two months, the empire will find another buyer for the Eero royal family." The black-haired emperor did not take it seriously. plain expression

"Within two months... this is simply impossible." Atrice's face suddenly changed, and she let out a low exclamation. She was responsible for part of the property in the Kentam family, and she was quite clear about the financial situation of the Kentam family. The final price for purchasing the capital of Aero is 2.5 million imperial gold. If you follow the normal In terms of the financial resources and income of the Kentam family, it would take the Kentam family a full ten years to achieve this, not to mention the huge flood. The entire territory was a swamp, and nearly 80,000 refugees needed to be resettled and fed. , even if it is the simplest relief, it is completely impossible to obtain without 100,000 imperial gold.

Atrice is almost certain that the possibility of Atlicon plundering and massacring New Camel City, the richest city, is close to 80%! Even if it were him, in the same situation, he would probably make the same choice as Atlicon
