Realm of Power

It has been a long time since the capital of Elro has been so lively. The crowds of people on the streets are moving slowly, and the performances of various performance groups invited by the Ikamu family are adding to the fun. The unreal feeling of being intoxicated. The Royal Capital of Hérault was once known as the largest city in Barro in southern Europe, with a population of over 800,000 at its peak. The urban layout clearly borrowed from the old royal capital in the south.

This time Potamia came to the Royal Capital of Aero again. The main reason was to explore the layout of the old royal capital in the south that was no longer inhabited from the layout of the old Royal Capital of Aero. According to Putamia According to the statement, the old royal capital in the southern branch of the Holy Capital still retains some things left behind by the disappearing Prophet Ferran.

"This was revealed by the Holy Temple in the southern part of Hérault, and it is also recorded in the documents of my temple, so I can be more sure of the authenticity of this news. The Great Library of Hérault was once regarded as a treasure house of knowledge by the entire southern Hérault. The place should still be intact at this moment. It was built ten years before Prophet Ferran disappeared." When Putamia talks about old events in the south of Hero, he is often in high spirits, and even his tone is full of respect.

"In the middle of the Holy City, Prophet Ferran left the Holy City and went south to start the Southern Laboratory Project. Because the Great Plains in the southern part of Eero is low-lying, humid and rainy, and there are more swamps nearby, Prophet Ferran dug a lot of soil around the laboratory to get the soil. The formation of a large lake can not only irrigate fertile fields, raise fish for food, but also serve as a practical The natural barrier of the laboratory, and finally connected to the large river crossing the upper and lower Hérault to form a unique water conservancy system, which solved the three major problems of water logging in the southern plains, irrigation and shipping. It is said that these technologies are all collected in the big river. Among the libraries, it is said that the Great Library has a circumference of six miles in the city alone."

"Six miles!"

The black-haired young man was obviously a little shocked. A large building six miles long and wide was unimaginable in this era, and it was left by the prophet Feran. There should be many things recorded in it that could change this era. , not to mention that Putamia is yearning for it, even the black-haired young man is attracted by it.

Prophet Ferran is obviously a remnant of the previous civilization. The black-haired young man is also very curious about the secrets of the previous civilization, and this is more likely to involve the real reason why he came to this era. Prophet Ferran came from Ero The southern strait disappeared and reappeared in Ikadiva. The place where he was originally was also the Ikadiva continent. The black-haired young man vaguely felt that there was some connection here, which made him know more about the big library. With some interest, the secret of my coming to this world may really be solved in the big library!

"Yes, whoever can enter the Great Library can obtain the legacy of Prophet Ferran, so I must go, and the Red Dragon Palace in Aden should also know this, so they have already Someone has been to the Holy Temple of Nanero." Putamia looked pious, with a perseverance on her pretty face.

"The sudden request for cooperation from the Red Dragon Palace of Aden is indeed a bit unexpected. Although it is said that it does not want to see the Aden royal family become the emperor, such a reason is too far-fetched, not to mention that this time it will buy an Aden naval fleet. All of it, just to get Emperor Eero’s ashes!”

The black-haired young man looked confused. The information from the Red Dragon Palace was confirmed, which showed that the Red Dragon Palace was sincere. This weird feeling was like a wolf stealing a sheep, spending a lot of effort to lurk in the sheepfold. On the side, the shepherd dog next to him took the initiative to open the trap door, which was as strange as the trap door. Thinking about the extremely high status of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden alongside the royal family, according to the Red Dragon Palace’s understanding of the country in Aden, the betrayal of the Red Dragon Palace, The black-haired emperor also feels like a dream

On the contrary, Putamia showed a natural look on his face and said coldly, "The predecessor of the Red Dragon Palace of Aden is the Knights of the Holy City. They are responsible for the protection and fighting of the Holy City. When the Holy City collapsed, the priests chose to go south to Eero to search for it. In the southern branch of Hérault, the Knights of the Squire chose to go east across the desert and into the Gulf of Aden because of differences. At that time, the priests still believed that the Knights of the Squire It’s a self-exile.” But now I believe that the Knights of the Squire did not blindly run to the Gulf of Aden, let alone a self-exile. Instead, they went around an arc to avoid the eyes of others. Everyone said that the Knights of the Squire The first leader was once a confidant of Prophet Feran, and he followed Prophet Feran to many places. I didn’t really believe it at first, but now I do.

"In fact, I have just woken up."

Putamia smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "Once some secrets are revealed, you will find that it is actually so simple. It turns out that the Gulf of Aden is so close to the south of Hérault, with only a small cape between them. Doubts, the Knights of the Squire are aware of this, so moving to the Gulf of Aden is indeed much wiser than our priestly group's high-profile escape to the South Hérault branch.

The Holy City and the Southern Branch have not been of the same mind for a long time. The Holy City was left behind by those who did not want to follow the Prophet southward. However, the Southern Branch, from top to bottom, believed that the Holy City was a betrayer of the Prophet Ferran, a mere one who was betrayed. What qualifications does the Holy City abandoned by the Prophet have to lead the Southern Branch?

If the sacrificial corps had had such a consciousness, they would not have been rejected by the southern branch of Hérault because they were too radical, and eventually turned against each other, causing the destruction of the entire south of Hérault, while the squire knights, renamed the Red Dragon Palace, were developing in a low-key manner in the Gulf of Aden. , supported the rise of the Aden people, quietly crossed the cape decades ago, set up a secret stronghold in the south of Hérault, and began to secretly explore the south, and high-level officials visited the temple in the south of Hérault many times, which is enough to show that the Red Dragon The final goal of the palace It is still the southern part of Hérault, but it has chosen another direction to avoid the conflict with the southern branch of Hérault. But there is one thing that I don’t quite understand. Why does His Majesty think that the first thing that the King of Aden should do when he becomes the Emperor of Aden is to fight against the Red Army? The Dragon Palace has taken action. After all, the Red Dragon Palace has been of great help to the Kingdom of Aden. If it were not for the attendant group coming to the Gulf of Aden decades ago, the Aden people would now be at most a regional force. It would be completely impossible for them to span three continents now. territory of power"

"As you said, the Red Dragon Palace chose the Gulf of Aden to secretly explore the southern part of Elero. Do you think the Aden royal family is a fool for not knowing the true intention of the Red Dragon Palace for so many years?"

The black-haired young man curled his lips in disdain and shrugged his shoulders, "After all, the Red Dragon Palace of Aden is not a local organization in the Gulf of Aden, and it only has a relationship of mutual use with the royal family of Aden. If the Red Dragon Palace of Aden really fully supports the people of Aden, it will Jiang Honglong Hall The weapons that were saved were taken out, but the Red Dragon Palace did not. Why? Because the Red Dragon Palace knew that if the Red Dragon Palace took out its own wealth, it would only attract the greed of the Aden people and support the Aden people. Beware of the Adenites again It is too powerful, and sometimes it deliberately deceives the Aden people. The Red Dragon Palace often does things like this. "Why did the Ero Empire suddenly attack the port of Cornonia? It was invincible and irresistible. More than 100,000 Aden troops were defeated in one line." , the Aden army is in The layout of the Corniniya area and the military branch in the Great Desert have been leaked. How did the undercover agents of the Erro people enter Ya's military? Who do you think did it? This is the Red Dragon Palace, not the Aden royal family? Fool, just chose to provoke but not to trigger"

"Originally, this balance could have been maintained, but because the yellow sand in the south of Hérault was about to disappear, the Red Dragon Palace finally made the wrong decision.

"Oh?" Putamia's pretty face was stunned. She felt that what she heard today was like a bolt from the blue. No one would believe it if she told it. The Royal Family of Aden and the Red Dragon Palace jointly rule the Kingdom of Aden. The entire South ◇ Ling Ling Reading Network ◆ Oubaluo is not a secret, and for so many years, the Aden royal family and the Aden Red Dragon Palace have been cooperating with each other. The Red Dragon The Palace has cultivated a large number of military and political talents for the Kingdom of Aden in a short period of time. It is the foundation for the Kingdom of Aden to rapidly expand from a power in the Gulf region to a powerful country across three continents in just a few decades. It is unceremonious that He said that without the Red Dragon Palace of Aden, the Aden people are still fishing in the Gulf of Aden. How could they be qualified to stand among the few powerful countries in the mainland?

Who would have thought that the Red Dragon Palace secretly did so many things to deceive the people of Aden?

"The Red Dragon Cavalry of the Red Dragon Palace was wiped out by the empire in a battle in the south of Erro. ​​The protective power of the Red Dragon Palace was completely lost. But at this time, the Aden royal family jumped out and wanted to be promoted to the Aden Empire. Don't you think Is it a coincidence? The corners of the black-haired young man's mouth were slightly raised, and his deep eyes flashed like a cold light. "The royal family of Aden has tolerated it for so many years, how can they let it go this time?"

"Are you saying that the Red Dragon Cavalry was betrayed by the royal family of Aden?"

When Potamia reacted, her pretty face couldn't help but change. There were many rumors about the reason for the collapse of the Red Dragon Cavalry, but most of them said it was because of the arrogance of the Red Dragon Cavalry. He went to provoke the emperor's rebellion, but then he became too stagnant without hesitation. As a result, he was swatted to death by the military emperor from a distance of hundreds of miles like a fly in the hilly area south of Erault.

Because of this incident, the phrase "the red dragon who doesn't know whether to live or die" has even become a new proverb in Obarro. It is used to describe someone's arrogance. It can be said to be the face of the Red Dragon Palace of Aden, which has always been mysterious and lofty. They were all beaten and swollen, and who was behind the spread of this rumor? In the past, Putamia thought it must be the Imperial Intelligence Department. Fatty could do such a thing.

But now, Putamiya is quite sure that this is the Aden royal family who is behind it. The purpose is to severely attack the god-like status of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden in the hearts of ordinary Aden people, so that the promotion of the Aden royal family to the empire will be more contrasting. It can be proved that the power of the Kingdom of Aden is because of the power of the Royal Family of Aden and has nothing to do with the Red Dragon Palace.

Of course, hearing the person involved describe what happened back then is completely different, because the black-haired young man was the planner and commander of this battle.

"Although it was not the Aden royal family who actively betrayed them, they deliberately provided wrong pre-war information, and later deliberately arranged to detour the evacuation route by twenty miles. It was intentional. I really can't think of other possibilities." The black-haired young man He stood up and looked down the street with his back to a group of cavalry wearing heraldic cloaks entering the street. He said, frowning slightly, that coat of arms turned out to be from the Kingdom of Rila. Although he didn't see the specific appearance, the black-haired young man had already felt the presence of an acquaintance. He said in a serious voice, "I have to say that the Aden royal family used this move to kill someone with a knife." He did a great job. Even though he knew that he was being used by the Aden royal family, our empire also chose to cooperate!

"Once the King of Aden becomes the Emperor of Aden, there will no longer be any force in Aden that can hinder the royal family. It is imperative to eliminate the Red Dragon Palace, an existence that has been gnashing its teeth for the Elo royal family. Moreover, the King of Aden knows very well that the Kingdom of Aden will become the Empire of Aden. In the end, it will fall on the road of foreign war. The rise of an empire must be forged with iron and blood. The Aden Empire needs We need more powerful weapons, more powerful enough to fight against our new ordnance, and the Red Dragon Palace must have kept the blueprints of such weapons but did not take them out. Destroying the Red Dragon Palace would also significantly increase the country's combat power. If it were replaced by I, I will not hesitate to take action against the Red Dragon Palace in Aden. "What is that?" Putamia also saw the cavalry passing by on the street downstairs and made a surprised sound.

"An old fox, King Rilla Owitt." The black-haired young man pointed at a middle-aged knight in the second row in the middle of the team. He had slightly gray hair and seemed ordinary. His figure was straight on the horse. Like a sword, there was a knight in front and behind him, vaguely covering the middle-aged knight. Potamia had heard about this hero of the Kingdom of Rila for a long time, but this was the first time he saw him in person.

"I heard that His Majesty has a hobby of marrying everywhere, and his two very beautiful daughters were in the car with His Majesty for three days last time..." Potamia smiled half-heartedly, looking at the black-haired young man with a pair of charming eyes. "The people of Biang have been jumping up and down in the capital of Aero for three days, just to show their misery in front of the royal families. Secretly, a large army has been assembled, preparing to launch the second battle for the Sun Fortress."

"The Biang people were caught off guard by the Riela people last time. They lost tens of thousands of troops and lost the Sun Fortress. This time, they are trying to fight back. I thought this old fox was busy repairing and preparing for war. , but I didn’t expect that he would come to Egypt King Luo, but judging from his attire, he probably didn’t want to reveal his identity. This time in King Luo, it was really unexpected. Not counting the princes and dukes, there were only four kings here, and they were all Come sneakily"

The black-haired young man coughed dryly and pretended not to hear what Potamia said. Instead, he said to himself, "This is the advantage of choosing this two-story building. The streets here are leading to the palace of the capital of Eero." The only way to go, in order to show other Elo people that they are recognized by the royal families of various countries, the Ikamu family The Old Palace of Hérault is specially used as a reception place for the royal families of all parties. In other words, just sitting here, you can easily know which royal families have sent people and who they have sent. This place is not inconspicuous, but it is the best. The Southern Intelligence Department also took a fancy to this point, so they simply bought the entire building."

Looking at it in the past few days, it has really made Potamia stare straight. Not counting King Owitt of Rila, King Harvey, King Ikar, King Bion have already passed before... If you include yourself. The Pope of the Order State, and the Emperor of the Empire, then the old capital of Eero has one emperor and five kings, and there are also many local forces, such as the Anser people, the Martin Liga people, In Feishan area, that one is not a real power figure, but most of these figures choose to hide in the mission and push them to the stage. Instead, they are just some unknown figures. Otherwise, the Isam family would know about their royal ceremony. There are so many heavyweights gathered here, I'm afraid they will go crazy. If even one of these same figures in his King Eero has an accident, it will be a big deal!

"Did His Majesty also arrange the sale of the Ikar people's iron ore to the Kingdom of Aden?"

Putamia took a deep breath and finally asked the question that was almost hurting her heart. "Now Aden is in urgent need of iron ore. If the Ikar people don't come to it, the Aden people will definitely try their best to get it from other ways." High-quality iron ore, the Ikar people promised to provide them with high-quality iron ore. Before the high-quality iron ore that the Ikar people said arrived in Aden, the Aden people should not look for other ways. If we delay, the people of Aden will waste at least a month. The current domestic situation in Aden, let alone a month, even wasting ten more days will have a huge impact on the entire situation. It will take a month for Aden to realize I have been fooled by the Ikar people, and it is already difficult to find a way to remedy it. Your Majesty's move is indeed powerful, but the Ikar people are not trustworthy, so your Majesty still needs to be on guard."

"I said that I have nothing to do with the Ikar people. Do you believe it or not?"

The black-haired young man's black eyes sparkled, giving people a profound feeling like seeing the starry sky on a summer night. Only a scheming woman like Putamia would naturally sell the Ikar people to the Aden iron mine. The matter was regarded as a conspiracy, but Puamia was right, the black-haired young man said He said that he had indeed considered using the Ikar people, but Aden took this matter very seriously. Naturally, he would not easily believe that the Ikar people came to sell iron ore at this time. If the empire intervened, there would be no traces. If it is too heavy, it will be easily investigated by the Aden authorities.

"Since it was not arranged by His Majesty, there is no problem. Otherwise, if a problem occurs, it will affect the reputation of the empire."

Potamia unexpectedly showed an expression of relief and said softly, "Although the Gulf of Aden where the Aden people are located is rich in products, because it is too close to the bay, there is not even a high-quality iron ore, so Aden The army has always been slightly inferior in armaments, so thirty years ago, Aden The kingdom is devoting all its efforts to conquer the northern desert in order to open up the mouth of Corninia in the eastern part of the inland sea and obtain cheap and high-quality ore from Obaro. The combat effectiveness of the Aden army has been greatly improved. In 2004, the ore in the Obaro area was embargoed by the empire, and Aden There is another large-scale military deployment in Central and South-Bia, resulting in great losses. The domestic ore stockpile is probably used up. At this time, if the Ikar people sell high-quality ore to the Aden people, even if the Aden people want to refuse, It can't be done, but the credibility of the Ikar people is really bad, capricious, and many times Conflicts broke out with other countries over trade issues, and only the Harvey people dared to use them. However, the Harvey Kingdom took advantage of this to exploit the Ikar people, which ultimately led to Ikar stabbing the Harvey Kingdom in the back. Son, Barrow’s reputation in southern Europe is synonymous with cunning and shamelessness.”

"Fortunately, I don't think this is a good thing to do, otherwise I might really push him." The black-haired young man laughed. Suddenly, the laughter suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the street below like a knife, in the heated atmosphere. , a team of horses without any flags passed through. There were only about 20 riders, but it gave people a feeling of loneliness and vicissitudes of life.

The leader was a woman. Even though the other girls on the street were all dressed up like butterflies, this woman was still as unique as standing out from the crowd. Her beautiful face was as still as water, and she just raised her head slightly unintentionally. Looking at the second floor where the black-haired young man is, this is completely a subconscious professional instinct, which is enough to prove that this woman was once an extremely good espionage agent.

"Algernon Julia, why is she here too!" The black-haired young man sat down in time.
