Realm of Power

In the early morning, I stood on a mound. In front of the Tamasu family flag, it seemed like a sea, a sea full of green. The tents in the wild seemed like ships floating on the sea. The cold breeze blows by, as if it is the girl's beautiful hair, and as if it is secretly kissing the earth. The huge mountains block the cold from the south and bring a near-constant temperature to the flat area in front of you.

Putamia, who was flying in his clothes, added even more mystery to the atmosphere.

The female pope of the religious sect, who was very familiar with the Temple of Heaven, whispered in the black-haired emperor's ear with her pretty eyes shining, "The prophet chose to build the Temple of Heaven where the data is preserved not only because of the scenery here, but also because of it. The climate here does not change much throughout the year. Many special materials have very strict requirements for the temperature at which they are preserved. If it were not for the special climate like Tianmiao, the materials from decades ago would have been damaged. If it were not seen with one’s own eyes, See you, I don’t dare to meet you The great plain in front of Xin and the yellow sandy southern part of the Hérault are separated by a huge mountain range. It is said that the southern part of the Hérault, which was rich in water and grass, was definitely not under the Tianmiao area. It has the rich products of the southern part of the Hérault and the northern part of the Hérault. water network River transportation, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of the southern part of Hérault in the past, but now there are only ruins exposed from under the yellow sand." There was obvious emotion in Putamia's tone. After all, the ancestors of the Order State were taken from here. driven out

"You mean, the temperature here doesn't change much throughout the seasons?"

Looking at the great plains swaying and gently rippling in the wind, it was like a huge stretched painting screen unfolding in front of his eyes. The black-haired emperor couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. The impact of the yellowing desertification in the southern part of Hérault is even enough to cause half of southern Europe. The climate of the Barrow continent fluctuates, but the Tianmiao area, which is only separated by a mountain, can maintain long-term temperatures. Constancy, this in itself represents abnormality. The first thing the black-haired emperor thought of was the test site. Prophet Ferran could discover that the Great River of Erault was an artificially constructed relic, so it was impossible for Prophet Ferran not to see what was happening in front of him. Anomalies in this area, the establishment of Tianmiao, or not just to preserve historical archives, but for other reasons

"Yes, did your Majesty find something?" A look of solemnity flashed across Putamia's pretty face.

"No, it was just an accident."

The black-haired young man smiled. Behind this magnificent mountain range represented another world. Other people, different ways of playing. A piece of pure land on earth protected by the arid and vast yellow sands of Southern Ero. There are no wars and massacres here, and there are no intrigues and intrigues between great powers. For a while, I realized the complex situation of Putamia for this land. She is a member of the religious order. The State Pope single-handedly destroyed the powerful The chief culprit of the Sheng Aero Empire, the education instilled in her every day since her birth required her to look for opportunities to come to the south of Aero. After experiencing the astonishing changes in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Temple of Heaven suddenly appeared in front of her. , is more like a beautiful dream!

This is the archives of Prophet Ferran, the source of the Order State. It is better not to destroy this beautiful dream. In fact, the black-haired emperor knows very well that the land in front of him is not peaceful. Last time Tamar When Marquis Su personally came to surrender to the empire on behalf of Tianmiao, he said that the Tianmiao area was being attacked by wild beasts.

"Sir, the convoy needs to be prepared. It will take about two hours before departure."

The caravan leader came to report with a respectful look. Being appointed as the person in charge of this caravan is naturally Atrice’s most trusted confidant. Therefore, although the caravan leader does not know the true identity of the black-haired young man in front of him, It is also known that this person is the main cover of the caravan. Atrice shined at the celebration of the new King of Aero, and used extraordinary means to easily get rid of several people. The competition between the two kings to seize the greatest benefits, and the cleverness and ruthlessness of it shocked the representatives of all forces participating in the celebration. With the return of all forces, the heiress of the Kentam family has been regarded as unwilling to any force. The reputation of a person who is easily an enemy has grown rapidly. He holds the family's military and financial power, and has firmly established himself as the heir to the Kentam family.

"Thank you for your hard work." The black-haired young man nodded.

Everyone was busy. The guards in mercenary uniforms folded the tents. They dismantled the tent frames and stacked them neatly on the cart where the debris was placed. The cowhide blankets and cashmere rugs were laid on the On top of the largest carriage, and one that really belongs to the Kentam family’s caravan Some people are busy packing utensils and utensils, what needs to be put outside and what should be put into boxes. For caravan travelers, the carriage is their home, and the young people are among the horses, choosing the best. Strong horses, they would be responsible for towing heavy carts. The leader of the caravan is probably the busiest person here. He has to inspect every large car, and there are countless detailed tasks waiting for him to arrange.

The temporary fire set up by the blacksmiths accompanying the team was burning extremely brightly. Three tough men were clanging around the fire, swinging the heavy hammers in their hands, reforging all the damaged carriage items, and leaving them with them. time and Not long, when the sun in the distance completely rises above the horizon, it is the time for the caravan to set off. When the rich and peculiar fragrance of milk mixed with tea leaves wafts in the camp, the busy preparations are finally over. finished

The woman in the caravan carried a huge copper pot and distributed bowls of milk tea to the people who were resting next to the cart. A group of red-tailed birds were spinning on the river looking for food. On the opposite side of the river, the director of the bank It was covered with small yellow flowers, trembling in the morning breeze. At first glance, it looked like a wriggling tree. Yellow soft cloth Yesterday, the female knight of the Tamasu family came over from the other side with a cup of milk tea, her face dusty and tired. According to the guard's report, the team of female knights of the Tamasu family did not return until midnight last night. Resting near the camp, it can be seen that the damage caused by wild beasts has reached a certain level.

"How long is it from here to the Tianmiao?" the black-haired emperor asked with interest.

From entering the Taimiao area yesterday to here, I haven't seen a single gathering place on the journey of more than 30 miles. The Tianmiao area is neither big nor small. Just in terms of area, it is among the southern princes. It can be ranked in the top three in the territory, but because of its special status and the fact that there is a section in front of it separated by yellow sand, the actual area should be ranked first.

"When the journey went smoothly before, it would take about two days, but now it's a bit hard to tell. If a herd of beasts is discovered, we have to take a detour, which will delay it for a day or two, or even more," the beautiful female knight said with a complicated expression. As the current protective force in the Tianmiao area, it is mainly the Tamasu family's army. There are only two thousand people. Facing the ferocious beast disaster, nearly half of the Tamasu family's guard troops have been killed or injured. The female knights of the Tamasu family stationed at the Tianmiao It can be seen from the need to protect the caravans coming and going in the border area that the Tamasu family's guard strength has been really exhausted. No wonder Marquis Tamasu asked the empire to dispatch troops to the Tianmiao area to eliminate wild beasts last time. It was really It's serious enough

"A herd of beasts!" The black-haired young man heard the other party take the initiative to mention the herd of beasts. He deliberately showed a curious look on his face and asked the female knight about the situation of the herd of beasts.

"Did you come from the other side of the mountain range?"

"It should be so. It was initially discovered that the villages and towns that were attacked were near the mountains. Originally, there was yellow sand blocking the way, and wild animals could not get through. But for some unknown reason, in recent months, the yellow sand has rapidly reduced over a large area, and it turned out that There were even continuous heavy rains in the arid areas, and the sudden floods drove out the wild animals in the mountains. The Tianmiao area is different from other areas. The villages and towns here do not have earthen walls, and most people mainly graze cattle and sheep. , we are completely unstoppable in front of the sudden appearance of a large number of wild beasts."

As he was talking and asking, he heard a burst of shouting from the distance, followed by noisy shouts.

"Captain Luo Xinla, traces of an attacked caravan were found ahead."

A subordinate of the female knight hurriedly came to report. The female knight's pretty face changed. She apologized to the black-haired young man and quickly led a dozen of her subordinates to the east slope. There were several black smoke pillars rising into the sky. , the long fleet of caravans drove slowly past the still burning carriages, as if they were a huge fleet sailing on the green ocean.

The black-haired young man also pretended to drive a carriage among the team. The female knight and the cavalry, which numbered only fifty or sixty people, spread out around the caravan with a tense expression. This was a group that had been attacked. A small caravan, seven or eight swaying carriages with corpses hanging on them. The ground was full of dumped goods. The human blood on the ground had turned dark red. The female knight jumped off her horse and came to a corpse. She squatted down and rummaged around for possible traces. clues

"It doesn't look like it was done by a wild animal," Pudamiya whispered curiously.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen the claws of a beast with such neat cuts? It was obviously chopped to death with a sharp weapon." The black-haired young man just glanced at it and snorted in an annoyed and funny voice. You, Potamia, are also a mountain of corpses. Climbing out of the sea of ​​blood, would you be able to tell whether these corpses were hacked to death or bitten to death?

After a while, the female knight came back with a solemn face. She glanced at the captain of the caravan and said in a solemn voice, "The caravan must speed up. The smell of blood will quickly attract the beasts. If we get entangled, we will be in trouble." "

Regarding this suggestion, the black-haired young man immediately agreed. The speed of the caravan was indeed too slow. This was mainly due to the strong request of the female knight, because the female knight's duty was to gather all the caravans on this route and then move them The caravan was brought back safely. The caravan of the Kentam family was obviously human. The largest in number and scale is a guarantee of strength in itself. Even a herd of beasts would not dare to attack a caravan of hundreds of people without a large-scale gathering, so the female knight wanted to use Kenta The Mu family's caravan gathered other small merchants along the way, which caused the caravan to slow down greatly.

It was like a huge containment team, and we encountered two small caravans joining the team along the way.

The drivers were leaning back in their chairs, with bows and arrows hanging on their right and a pot of thick milk tea on their left. Oil lamps were hung on both sides of the cart. There were no terrifying herds of animals nearby, only a few inconspicuous ones. The wild wolves were wandering around, but they were also frightened and everyone in the two small caravans turned pale. Now that they heard that they could follow the big business pair in front of them, everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Your Majesty, the attackers in front are obviously not a herd of animals. Under such circumstances, I feel that it is too unreliable to leave safety to these female knights. Please allow me to take action."

A strong man like an iron tower knelt on one knee in front of the black-haired young man. Nagwaya, the captain of the third regiment of the Imperial Guards, formerly the captain of the fourth regiment of the second flag regiment of the Imperial Central Army, Kujit's most famous pursuer. One of the hunters, he was the one who slashed away the young man from the Red Dragon Palace. As a hunter on the grassland who had experienced many battles, his sensitivity to danger had made this hunter sniff out the wind that was blowing in his face. To the taste of more blood,

There is no doubt that there will be more corpses waiting for the caravan ahead

If the caravan continues to move in the set direction, it will be like stepping into the opponent's trap. Those female knights of the Tamasu family cannot be said to be incompetent, but they have just made these female knights who have been guarding the temple all year round suddenly become like this. The hunters in the vast killing field were obviously too reluctant. Only real hunters can see the enemy's true purpose from the scene of the attack just now.

The deceased were all killed with their hands tied. When they could have been killed with one knife, the other party adopted the bloodiest method of killing. Not only did they cut off the victim's limbs, but also disemboweled them. It was obvious that To get as much blood as possible, this huge caravan is too conspicuous, and the opponent dare not take action directly, but it does not mean that the herd of beasts cannot be attracted,

"Do it cleanly!" The black-haired young man looked towards the east as if he knew something, and then looked back. There were a few inconspicuous little black spots there, and there were bursts of chirping in the distance. The sound seems to be bidding farewell to tranquility. This is the second team that discovered the Aden Red Dragon Palace. Aden There must be a certain connection between the Red Dragon Palace and the herds of beasts that appeared in the Temple of Heaven. Just as the female knight of the Tamasu family said, the herds of beasts first appeared at the border of the mountains, but for some unknown reason, the herds of beasts quickly Expanding in the direction of Tianmiao, if someone didn't deliberately guide it, then it would be a ghost!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do."

Nagwaya licked his dry lips excitedly, turned around and walked towards his horse. A dozen imperial guards followed him in unison. These were Nagwaya's most elite men, all hunting for Kujit. or, dull loud noises and sharp violent The wind exploded at this moment, and the horse's hooves splashed the mud and sand on the ground high into the air. Just this extraordinary Kugit Stalker's unique horse control method made Tamar, who was still searching for clues around him. The eyes of the female knights of the Su family bulged when they looked at each one.
