Realm of Power

Baozi sincerely thanks Sha Di for her three monthly votes. Baozi’s writing style is undergoing a transformation, so the updates are very slow. I have never dared to ask for a monthly vote shamelessly. I am very touched and honored to receive three consecutive monthly votes from you!

"Who are you? What do you want to do with me?" The female horse thief's eyes moved around, and finally fixed on the fat man, she asked in a trembling voice,

Although no one pointed it out, the girl's mind was extremely sharp.

It can be seen from the respectful expressions on the faces of the mercenaries just now and the submissive tone that they

The stupid fat man in front of me, staring at him with a lustful face, is the leader of these mercenaries. Thinking of the terrible encounters he may face, with the strength of a young girl, he can't help but tremble in his heart.

"Haha! It doesn't matter who I am!" The fat man grinned and did not answer the girl's question. Instead, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand in an extremely passionate manner.

A pair of shining eyes stared at the girl, making her heart tremble.

"This damn fat guy doesn't know how to..." A terrifying scene flashed through the girl's mind. The fat guy's grin was a bit more ambiguous and hateful in the girl's eyes.

"You, you..." The girl struggled to stand up, but was forcibly held down by two guards. Her face became paler.

"Tell me! Who are you! My patience is not that good!" The Laren warrior dagger flipped in the air and was firmly held by the fat man with two fingers.

"I'm just a lost girl passing by..." The girl's eyes were darting around, and she was obviously making up lies.

"Say!" A striking eye mark passed through the girl's hair bun and penetrated deeply into the soft soil in front of the girl. "Ah" the girl's face was pale with fright.

The flying eagle dagger that the fat man was playing with was inserted only a few centimeters away from her face. It looked extremely cold under the bright moonlight.

If it were a little higher, there would be a bloody cut on the girl's beautiful face.

"Your acting skills are not up to par. I don't like hearing people make up stories!" The fat man's voice was calm and low. It seemed that the dagger that almost cut the girl's pretty face was shot from his hand.

The fat man's indifference in treating murder as nothing made the girl feel even more terrified. She also realized that everything just now was a lie. This silly fat man, who is harmless to humans and animals, is the real powerful master!

"According to the laws of the Kugit tribe, no matter who you are, as long as you steal a horse, I have the right to deal with it as I please!" the fat man said nonsense.

Fatty knows that many Kugit tribes do have similar rules.

Horses are the greatest property of grassland people. Stealing horses from herdsmen is as heinous as stealing cattle from farmers.

The most direct way to deal with horse thieves is to leave the horse to its owner. Even the tribe leader has no power to interfere.

"I didn't steal the horse, I just borrowed it temporarily." Although the girl was scared, the arrogance in her body still made her straighten her neck and pout her mouth in defense.

"I am a high-ranking aristocrat in Yunzhong City. How can I still not be able to pay for a horse? I just came out in a hurry and took it for temporary use. I will definitely return it to you twice as much when the time comes."

"Haha, you are a high-ranking noble in Yunzhong City! You really think you are such a big brand!" The fat man looked at the arrogant girl and sneered contemptuously at the corner of his mouth.

Cloud City is another name for Turga City, because the main body of Turga City was built on the holy mountain Hylar. The houses are stacked layer upon layer, and it looks like a city in the clouds from a distance.

"You..." The girl was also a high-ranking noble of Kujit. Now she met a scoundrel like Fatty, and she almost lost her temper because of these words.

"What! You're not convinced!" The fat man smiled half-heartedly. Looking at the girl's face that was red with anger, he turned to the guard and ordered, "Since you are so stubborn, it is necessary to continue the conversation. You can handle it on the spot according to the old rules." "

"Yes! Sir!" The two guards nodded in agreement, and they cooperated to hold the girl up and drag her away.

"You, what are you going to do...!" The girl struggled with her hands in panic under Konoe's strong arms.

"What are you doing! Haha" the fat man looked at her with cold eyes, pointed to the lake not far away, and said to the girl

"What else can I do! Of course I'll find a clean place to bury you.

I think this lake is great! There is water, grass, and great scenery! I'm sorry for you,

If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, I would have killed you with a knife. Why would it be so troublesome?

The fat man paused and said slowly, "It is said that only the land soaked with human blood can the grass grow exceptionally lush! I look at that lake, and there will definitely be a lot of water and grass next year."

"No, you can't kill me, you can't...I am...I..." The girl's pale face completely lost all color, and she was about to shout loudly,

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The girl's mouth was covered by Konoe's thick hands, and she could only make a vague sound.

"Help...help...oooo..." The girl struggled for a while, and her body suddenly collapsed completely.

"Sir, she passed out!" A guard knelt down, probed the girl's breath with his fingers, stood up and reported,

"Such a stupid girl still imitates others and becomes a horse thief! It's really..." The fat man shook his head with a depressed face. He didn't expect that the first horse thief he met would be so unintimidated.

The fat man turned his head and gave instructions to the captain of the Guards team beside him.

"You guys carry the person to the vacant carriage first! Go to the doctor and try hard to find some medicine for stab wounds. If she continues to bleed like this, there will only be a corpse that bleeds to death tomorrow!"

On a cold morning, the sun has not yet come out. The eastern sky shows a faint fish-white color, and a few thin clouds set off the light red morning light.

A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the depths of the grassland, and hundreds of black spots turned out from a rolling hill in the distance, quickly approaching the caravan camping by the lake.

The rumble of horse hooves woke up the merchants in the camp.

"What, what's going on?" The leader of the caravan, Maumo Wenlis, was completely frightened. He stared dumbfoundedly at hundreds of fully armed Kugit light cavalry, sweeping towards the camp like a sudden hurricane. Come,

"Surround this place for me! No one can be left out." A muscular Kugit man wearing mail brandished a machete and shouted to the hundreds of rangers behind him.

"The Kugits are Kugits!" The camp was in chaos for a while. No one knew what happened. Everyone was frightened when they saw the murderous Kugit cavalry outside the camp with sharp scimitars. broken

Could it be that he met a horse thief? Thinking of the cruel and bloody horse thieves in the legend, the merchant's face turned pale and terrifying.

The noisy shouts and panic also woke up Fatty from his deep sleep.

"Sir, it's the Kugit Cavalry!" The captain of the Guards nervously opened the curtain of the carriage and reported to the fat man, "They seem to be looking for someone!"

"Oh?" The fat man's expression changed, as if he remembered something, and asked the captain of the Guards, "Where is the horse thief?"

"My subordinates have hidden her in a secret compartment in the belly of the carriage. As long as the Kugits don't investigate carefully, it's impossible to find her out!" the Guards Captain responded.

"Well, you did a good job!" The fat man nodded approvingly and walked out of the carriage.

His sharp eyes swept over the messy situation in front of him,

A group of Kujit cavalry kept wandering outside the camp, surrounding the entire camp.

30 guards dressed as mercenaries had drawn their swords and gathered around the fat man's carriage. "Sir, do you want to take action?" the guard captain asked in a low voice in the fat man's ear.

Although there are hundreds of Kujit Rangers,

But for these guards who fought their way out from the battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it was completely childish.

Seeing these mercenaries in front of the powerful Kujit cavalry group, not only did they not show any fear, but they looked eager to try.

The Kujit Rangers who surrounded the camp were also terrified and did not dare to forcefully enter the camp to search.

The fat man also saw that the crazy girl Mao Mo Allen was timidly hiding in the back of a nearby carriage, revealing a frightened pale face and covering her chest with her little hands, like a frightened bird.

"Is it the Kugit regular army?" The fat man's sharp eyes saw through the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves that the Kugit cavalry's horses had the brand of the Kugit regular army's horses on their crotches.

The rigorous and orderly cavalry formation does not look like the legendary prairie horse thieves who killed people and looted goods.

"Don't be impulsive. Let's take a look at the situation first," the fat man said, gently waving his hands to the guards who were all on guard around him.

"Sir, we are a caravan from the Maomo family in the west." At this time, the leader of the caravan, Maomo Wenlis, boldly stood up from the crowded crowd and said,

With a timid expression, he took out a document and said, "This is a pass issued by the Royal Court. Please believe that we don't have any malicious intentions! We are all regular businessmen."

"The caravan of the Maomo family in the west?" The sturdy Kugit man took the pass from Maomo Wenlis. After looking at it carefully, his expression softened a little.

He immediately returned a salute to Maumo Venlis and said in a loud voice, "I am Rahul, the captain of the third squadron of the Kujit Palace Hurricane Flag Regiment. We are arresting an important fugitive.

Please forgive me if it disturbs your rest! The arrest of this fugitive was personally ordered by the adults of the royal court. Please cooperate! "

"Of course, of course! Since it is an order from the royal court, just search!"

When Momo Wenlis heard that it had nothing to do with the caravan, he finally let go of the mention. His true nature as a long-sleeved dancer soon showed, and he said confidently, "I can guarantee that there is absolutely no one in my caravan that you want!"

"Thank you to the Maumo family for your cooperation!" Rahul also knew that the Maumo family in the Western Wilderness had a special relationship with the royal court and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

He first put his right hand on his chest and performed a noble tribal salute, then waved to the cavalry behind him and said, "Hu Luole, lead a small team in and take a look! That woman doesn't have a horse, so she can't go far!"

"Yes, you guys come with me!" A dozen Kugit cavalry entered the caravan camp under the leadership of a squad leader.

The caravan was not big to begin with, only a few dozen carriages in total.

The Kugits searched very carefully, checking the goods in the carriage one by one, as if they wanted to take out the goods one by one.

As the search progressed, the Kugits discovered that most of these caravans contained special furs and some medicinal materials from the west. Many of the bags containing the goods were stamped with the seal of the Maumo family.

Now that the battle of Aichemor is about to break out, these hard animal skins and medicinal materials that can be made into leather armor are in short supply. The Kugit people have long been accustomed to this.

The leader of the team squatted down and carefully measured the hooves of the horses pulling the cart.

He is a master at tracking,

Rahul, the commander of the Kuljit squadron, sent him to search, so he naturally had too much trust in his ability.

There are no roads on the prairie, but the herdsmen have their own methods. The direction of the fallen grass, the remains of the fire, the location of the horse manure and the residue inside are all the best information.

Chasing all the way from Turga, although there was a slight mistake on the way, which delayed the woman's carefully arranged suspicion for some time,

But Hu Luole believed that he was definitely not wrong this time.

Because if that woman wants to go to Aichmore, this is the most inconspicuous but safest road. From here, she can easily bypass the royal court and the defense areas of various tribes.

If it were you, you would also choose this path.

"She must be here!" Hu Luole secretly thought. This is the only lake on this road, and it is the caravan's favorite camping spot.

If it were me, I would also choose to lurk nearby, take the opportunity to steal a horse from the camped caravan, and then escape. With the skills and skillful riding skills of that woman's Sanji Laren warrior, this is just a matter of stretching out her hand.

Otherwise, there is no way two legs can run as fast as four legs!

Hu Luole carefully measured the thickness of the horseshoe with his hands, hoping to tell something from the wear and tear of the horseshoes, but he was soon disappointed.

No problem! Everything looks exactly the same

These horses have indeed traveled long distances. Not only are their horseshoes badly worn, but their heights are basically the same. Judging from the heights they have worn, they indeed come from the western wilderness.

Hu Luole even saw with dismay that on the top circle of the horseshoe, there were two Wikipedia characters of Maomo engraved,

"What the hell! Did you get tricked by that woman again?" Hu Luole cursed secretly and stood up with a frustrated expression.

No matter from the Maomo stamp on the cargo pocket or the many details, Hu Luole didn't see any big problems.

Except for a silly fat man who seemed to be particularly interested in his own testing methods.

He is always asking questions around him, like a smelly fly that makes noisy noises, disturbing Hu Luole and making him restless.

"What are you looking for? Can it be hidden in the horse's hoof?" The silly fat man looked at Hu Luole who was squatting on the ground and measuring the horse's hoof prints, and asked with a curious look on his face.

"A woman! A woman who makes the entire royal court uneasy!" Hu Luole was upset by being disturbed. He just wanted to get rid of this annoying living treasure as soon as possible.

"Can that woman hide under the horse's hoof?" The fat man looked at the Kugit man who was carefully measuring the horse's hoof, blinked, and continued to ask,

"Damn it! Can't you shut up, you fool?" Hu Luole was already so angry at Fatty's question that he almost ran away. If he hadn't been concerned about the relationship between the Maomo family, he would have had his subordinates give this fool a beating.

"Hey, this world is really not peaceful anywhere!" The silly fat man sighed with a sad look on his face, and continued, "You know, I lost one of my horses last night, and I spent ten silver coins on it. What a great horse to buy!”

"A good horse for ten silver coins!" Hu Luole was completely speechless. He looked at the fat man with a sad face and wanted to tell him that the ten silver coins in his eyes couldn't even sell the hair of a good horse.

"Wait a minute!" Hu Luole suddenly felt something was wrong. He grabbed the fat man's shoulders with excitement, shook him eagerly, and said loudly, "You said your horse was stolen last night?"

"Yes! That's a good horse worth ten silver coins!" The fat man looked confused, and soon showed pain, acting appropriately, like a miser who had just lost his treasure.

"Quick! Report to the royal court immediately! That woman ran away, war! War broke out!" Hu Luole's face became extremely ugly, and he shouted and ran towards Rahul v
