Realm of Power

In the north of Elo, the beautiful morning sunshine shines on the largest port in the eastern part of the inland sea. On the quiet sea of ​​Cairo Port, the light golden color sparkles along with the sea surface.

At the beginning of winter, the Obarro Inland Sea area has cooled down, but the impact on Cairo Port is not great. After several reconstructions, Cairo Port is four times larger than the original Cairo Port, and it is expanding to the surrounding areas with Cairo Port as the center. The business circle covers more than a hundred miles north of Hérault. Stimulated by the empire's various investment and business recovery policies, there are many towns and businesses, and it seems to be the largest coastal area of ​​Barro in southern Europe.

The population gathered in the surrounding area has exceeded 2.8 million, accounting for a quarter of the total population in the northern part of Eero. Although the war in the capital of Eero was filled with wars some time ago, it had almost no impact on the Port of Cairo. Although it is still a The Hérault region is already its own region. This area was demarcated according to the agreement between the Empire and the Order State, and it already belongs to the Empire in terms of sovereignty.

This alone is an absolute guarantee both in terms of politics and business environment. Those gathered in the Port of Hérault are not just imperial merchants, but also a large number of businessmen from the southern European Barrow countries. Although the southern European Barrow countries In the general environment, we are disgusted with the aggressiveness of the Northern Empire, but in the face of naked gold and silver, everyone is still very compromising with each other.

As long as the empire does not prohibit their chambers of commerce from entering, those who should sell things will continue to sell things as usual, and those who should buy things will never decrease. Three-quarters of the northern commodities in Cairo's Golden Port have been purchased by these merchants from many southern forces.

At the chaotic dock, a carriage marked by the Chamber of Commerce was heading towards the exit. Audrey looked curiously at this golden port that was rumored to be full of gold. It was definitely an exaggeration to say that it was full of gold. , but it is extremely appropriate to say that the wealth flowing here is as rich as any country.

The continuous berths outside the carriage are almost invisible at a glance. After large-scale reconstruction of Elo Port, the number of deep-water berths has increased to 140. Cairo Port has been divided into three parts, East Cairo Port, Central Cairo Port and West Cairo Port, and it can also be seen that there are new berths that are being expanded day and night.

It can be seen that even if the number of berths at the port is increased tenfold, it will still not be able to meet the current berthing needs of the Port of Cairo. Especially at the pier that is close to entering the Elero River channel, a large number of transport ships are still waiting to enter. This makes you think you are too knowledgeable Audrey's red lips were slightly open at the scene. At the dozen or so berths in the south, there were more than a dozen very large transport ships docked. Large groups of imperial soldiers disembarked from the transport ships. Their dark black imperial military uniforms glowed in the morning sunlight. The cold colors are reflected in the light. There are also a large number of imperial ordnance being prepared to be unloaded, including heavy weapons such as Thor cannons. The war horses pulling the cannons have also been driven down, making bursts of neighing noises on the dock.

It seems to be reminding others that the war between the empire and the Aden people was achieved through the support of the Hero region.

Audrey narrowed her beautiful eyes into a thin line, and her gaze fell on these rumored imperial weapons. The war between the empire and the Kingdom of Aden is the most concerning event at the moment. The overwhelming power of the Northern Empire and the single-minded thinking of the Aden people The ambition to become an empire is now unfolding in the picturesque Gulf of Aden. A tragic collision, like a gathering storm, the Kingdom of Aden announced its promotion to an empire. This in itself was a provocation to the hegemony of the Northern Falcon Empire. It had never been defeated by the Northern Falcon Empire, Aden, the lord of the Gulf of Aden. Who is stronger between the two? Just such a bloody plot is enough to attract the attention of any monarch in the entire continent.

In this battle, the Kingdom of Aden has an absolute home court advantage, resource advantage, and military advantage. It can be said that the morale is like a rainbow. Both national and military power have reached the peak in history.

However, the empire had to go on an expedition, and the logistics needed to cross the Thousand Miles of Heiro River. The military strength was only tens of thousands. The entire continent believed that the military god emperor finally did something stupid and stupid due to his extremely inflated confidence. , people who think so can be found throughout Oparo. I don’t know how many people are waiting for the empire. With the news of the defeat, the empire has been crushing the southern European Barrow like a strong wind in the past two years. The Fezer Kingdom collapsed, the Martin Liga people collapsed, the Kalisu people collapsed, the eight central countries voluntarily became dogs, the Dark Ministry bowed its head, and the Order Kingdom It was already a semi-annexation situation. Only the Eero Empire did not collapse, but it was even worse than the collapse. The royal family was also gone.

In the face of the general trend of the empire moving south, the South European Barrow army has been defeated. Even the Martin Liga people who had placed their hope have been defeated. The empire's southward movement has been unstoppable. Everyone is calling for a savior who can stop the empire. The Aden people have stood up!

Audrey narrowed her eyes and asked in a solemn tone to the old man in formal dress opposite who was opening the documents, "Father, this time I represent the Feishan region to participate in the promotion ceremony of the new royal family of Eero. Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?" After all, my Hakara family can only be regarded as a newcomer among other forces in the empire, not to mention that there are many real royal representatives participating."

"Don't worry about anything. You just need to be present when the time comes." The old man smiled slightly, pressed the documents in his hand on the table, looked at the dock outside the window and said, "Although the Feishan area can only be regarded as a newcomer among the imperial forces." , but if you look at the background, the apparent support of the six imperial princesses Even if you look at the empire, except for a few very few forces, no one dares to really look down on you, let alone that although they are not sure, they can vaguely guess. Who is Fei Shan's real backstage? Unless they are crazy, they will never be your enemy."

"In that case, I understand. I'm a little confused and I don't know if I should ask?"

Audrey was obviously secretly relieved. After all, she was still too young to suddenly gain power in the Feishan region. But when it came to being a talker for a regional power, she was still a little younger after all, and she had not experienced What a big storm, the emperor directly pushed it from the backstage to the front stage, now When I think of facing the representatives of all the forces in the empire, it’s a lie if I don’t feel nervous. The territory of the empire is so vast. Countless cities and countries have been massacred. There are also countless forces who have chosen to surrender to the empire. Those who can be invited must be from one side. Giants and even the royal families of more than a dozen kingdoms also sent people to come

Compared with these people, I, a mere spokesperson for the Feishan area, really can’t get on the stage.

"You want to ask, the Eero royal family has long existed in name only, and now a so-called new royal family has suddenly been erected. It is just a small family at most. Why should it be so grand?"

Plaice, who was sitting opposite, smiled and tapped the table with his fingers. He had already seen through Audrey's mind. He had accepted Audrey as his adopted daughter in name, which was considered to be a good thing for Audrey. In terms of formal status, Plais himself is the former adjutant of the empire and a giant in both the military and political circles. His daughter is one of the official princesses of the empire. Who dares to look down upon his adopted daughter?

The carriage left the port area and entered the city streets, taking a walk, breathing the cool and fresh air, and admiring the picturesque forest scenery of red, yellow and green. On the city streets, young people going to school pass by the carriage in small groups, joking and joking, waving goodbye to each other. There were some luxurious carriages and some ordinary carriages, carrying people of different statuses among them. The store is crowded with people and there is a dazzling array of products. Here, war seems to be an irrelevant thing.

"It's true. The Eero royal family has been finished for a long time. It's a foregone conclusion that the empire will take control of Eero. Why should we set up a royal family on our own? It's completely unnecessary." Audrey expressed her inner confusion. Her mind was still echoing the memories just now. From the scenes of a large number of transport ships, one can imagine the scene of these transport ships carrying a large amount of war preparation supplies sailing like an assembly line in the Grand River Hérault. It is said that the logistics department of the empire has even established several large hub ports in the large rivers, which will greatly enhance the safety and stability of transport ships in the large rivers, and ensure that these imperial transport ships will eventually cross the rumored yellow sand sky of Eero. In the southern region, because the news about the dissipation of yellow sand in the southern region of Hérault is still unknown to the outside world due to the deliberate blockade by the Empire and the Southern Alliance,

So Audrey doesn't know that the south of Hérault is now open, so she can't even understand the meaning of a so-called new royal family in Hérault? Even a puppet seems a bit redundant!

Plais laughed, and he suddenly understood why the emperor chose Audrey to be in charge of the Feishan Special Administrative Region, because Audrey is a pure businessman and prefers to look at things from a businessman's perspective, such as Audrey. In Audrey's eyes, the Luo royal family is worthless. In order to prompt Audrey to understand the emperor's true intentions, Plais took a deep breath, "This time the promotion of the new Luo royal family is obvious. On the surface it is just a Jinfeng ceremony, but in fact secretly But here is the establishment of the empire's hegemony over the southern European Barrow region. The empire has continuously defeated the obstruction of the southern European Barrow countries. The purpose is to establish the empire's authority in the southern European Barrow. Your Majesty wants to let the entire world know that the empire wants to Establishing a royal family in Barro, South Europe, and it is also the royal family of the once powerful Eero Empire. This is a manifestation of the hegemony of the empire, and it is also a display of the empire's authority in Barro, South Europe. Your Majesty just wants to see who dares to stand up. !"

"Your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to shock the entire South European Barrow!" Audrey's delicate body trembled slightly and her breathing paused slightly.

"Of course there is another important role." Plais raised his eyebrows pretending to be mysterious. "That is to slap the Aden people hard in the face. Aren't the Aden people going to be promoted to the empire? If no one in the entire southern European Barrow dares to stand up. Support, the Aden people’s self-directed and self-produced promotion empire is a joke!”
