Realm of Power

The afternoon sun seemed a little warm, and the sky in April was very clear, like a piece of transparent blue glass, with a few silky white clouds floating lifelessly overhead.

A black unmarked carriage, led by two cavalrymen, slowly drove into the light of Airey Hall.

The carriage stopped in front of a step on the left side of the ornately decorated Airey Hall. A serious-looking general quickly came down the steps and opened the door of the carriage.

"Sir Salton, it's an honor to see you here."

The general said respectfully to a middle-aged man in the carriage, "Due to some special reasons, there have been some minor changes to the originally scheduled meeting. I hope it will not arouse your suspicion!"

"Who is your Excellency?" Salton got off the carriage and looked at the man in general's uniform with confusion. His eyes flashed with shock. He turned out to be Samsung.

In his impression, the top person in charge of the Airei garrison was just a flag commander, but the person standing in front of him now was definitely not a flag commander.

Based on my knowledge of Falcon officer uniforms, this general with three Falcon badges on his shoulders is at least the rank of Legion Commander. Such a figure is definitely a powerful general in the Falcon Army.

Sure enough, the amiable young man smiled and said, "I am Hu Keqili, the general of the Central Army of the Falcon Dynasty!"

"Falcon Talon, Hu Keqili!" Salton was obviously taken aback, and a trace of horror flashed across his face. This famous general in the Falcon Dynasty was even equivalent to the military department of the Kingdom of Nord. long,

The Central Army under his command is also the most powerful main force of the Falcon Dynasty, known as the backbone of the 100,000-strong Falcon Army. How could such a general with outstanding achievements on the battlefield condescend to open the door for him in person?

"Please come with me!"

Hu Keqili raised his right hand in a gesture of invitation. Salton's face changed and his mouth opened. In the end, he remained silent and followed him up the front steps. He didn't know why he suddenly felt a little nervous. , the central general leads the way, what is the situation with such courtesy?

"Creak"

Several soldiers wearing black armor respectfully pushed open the door of the hall, revealing a long corridor at the back, with gorgeously decorated walls and stunning reliefs. There were marble statues every 20 meters along the road.

Salton secretly counted. This corridor, which is about 100 meters long, is actually occupied by 50 meters of guards. It can be said that it is heavily guarded, no less than the guards of the Nord Palace.

"Follow me, His Majesty has been waiting inside for a long time!"

Just when Salton felt hesitant, Hu Keqili turned back from the front and said,

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the hall and corridor,

"His Majesty!"

Salton's thoughts were a little confused. There was only one person in the Falcon Dynasty who could hold this title, and that was the Vekia Falcon.

He didn't expect that during this negotiation, he would have the opportunity to see the Vekia Falcon in person. Although he was mentally prepared,

But such a big contrast still shocked him and he couldn't calm down for a while.

Bright sunlight shines in from the hollow ventilation holes on the top of the walls on both sides of the corridor, forming a speckled walkway in the corridor.

Salton walked past solemnly, with an inexplicable emotion rolling through his mind. The Vekia Falcon was actually in Airey! This news was so shocking!

Ever since Nord's main force suffered a disastrous defeat in southern Wikiia, Nord's senior leaders have come to the conclusion that this time Nord's 100,000-strong army was not defeated because they were not brave enough or not strong enough.

It's because the opponent they face is the Vekia Falcon, who is famous for his cunning. iThis young star who has set an undefeated record in recent years has once again continued his undefeated glory with his incredible good luck.

Now when Nords talk about that battle, they all feel a little aggrieved, if it weren't for that damn surprise landing, if it wasn't for the arrogance of the coast defense force, if it wasn't for the fleet's incompetence. . . Too many ifs. As a result, Nord's 100,000 elites returned defeated in front of the Silent Victory Gate.

Of course, this is another story in Salton's eyes. As he understood in Kyoto, this war was a mistake from the beginning. The raid on southern Wikiia was not wrong, but it ignored one of the most important issues. , that is, the Falcon Dynasty has consolidated its dominance over Salander Island,

This is an extremely critical layout. Only when you really face it will you find out how powerful this layout is for the entire continent, especially the Kingdom of Nord. The cross umbrella formed by Salander and southern Vikia is Like a sharp blade, forcing itself on the back of the Nord Kingdom at any time.

Now that I think about it, Salton will also feel sincere admiration for the Vecia Falcon that ordered Ken to launch a full-scale war to occupy this island country that seemed to be of little use. What is a master of layout? The gains and losses of one city and one place directly regard the kingdom and the territory of the continent as the flag board for his control, and hold tens of millions of lives in his hands.

If the huge layout is simply unheard of, the Nord Kingdom has been unknowingly trapped in a terrible trap. When it comes to facing it, it suddenly turns out that all its efforts are in vain. The other party has already opened its arms. Waiting for me with a bloody mouth,

Just like this battle that seems to be a sure thing, even if everything goes well and the army captures Dillon, cutting off the connection between southern Vikia and Salander in one fell swoop, it will also be trapped between Salander and Jelberburg. An all-out pincer attack from all sides,

This is a reckless gamble, just like the warrior who only sees the front, always hoping to crush the enemy with his own bravery, but forgets that the real danger often comes from behind. A light landing can completely reverse the situation. The entire battle situation was over, and the bloody fighting of more than 100,000 soldiers at the front could not withstand the impact of the turmoil at the rear.

"Crack"

Just when Salton was full of thoughts, Hu Keqili, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in front of a room and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Salton is here!"

"Come in! The door is unlocked"

A somewhat honest but wise voice came from the room. Salton walked into the room nervously, and his eyes immediately focused on a fat figure standing in front of the window sill.

"I've heard the name for a long time. Although we are enemies, we can also be regarded as old friends!" The fat man turned around calmly, sat down on a chair in front of the window, and waved to Salton, who looked nervous. "Sit down." Sir, we are here to discuss business, aren't we? There is no Governor Su Luo or His Majesty Falcon here, there are only you and me, two businessmen who both hope to gain something!"

"Don't be sorry, I was a little rude just now. I just thought that I would see His Majesty under such circumstances!" Salton sat down opposite the fat man with a serious look on his face. He looked a little restrained, which made the fat man opposite smile. " It’s nothing, I’ve said it before, you and I are just businessmen, there is no His Majesty here! If you need to see that His Majesty, please send formal diplomats.”

"This..." Salton's face was slightly ugly, and he hesitated to speak in embarrassment. He didn't know what to say. Although he had heard that the Vekia Falcon had some unique characters, he never expected it to be so unique. There is simply no sense of a monarch’s consciousness at all,

Saw Salton's hesitant look. The fat man picked up the water cup from the table without taking it seriously, blew the hot air from the water with a calm expression, and then said, "Since you are the guest and I am the host, I will not be polite. 1 million gold coins, the seniority of the squadron leader will be counted separately." , when you instituted the embargo in Su Luo, didn’t you just want to redeem these soldiers?”

Salton's face was stunned for a moment. When he saw the fat man talking about this kind of thing as if he was defending some kind of justice, he couldn't help but feel deep contempt in his heart. He sighed secretly. Such a guy might be more like the man who was in power. In the war, the mainland God of War does not suffer any losses and is too lazy to wait for the enemy to fall into his own trap.

But he still pretended to be in awe of him, sighed, and said, "It turns out that His Majesty has guessed it a long time ago. Yes, I embargoed the goods in Suluo because I wanted to contact the Falcon Dynasty's military through the business alliance to discuss redemption." Regarding the return of prisoners of war, the kingdom owes them this time, but such a high price is really hard to accept! "

The fat man said with a sad look on his face, "I am also a soldier, and I don't want to embarrass these soldiers who have been abandoned by the motherland, but they are 40,000 elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time. If the price is unreasonable, I think it is unfair to them." An insult! So I will get a suitable ransom money for them."

"But, I really didn't bring that much money!" Salton was not a good person, and immediately put on a pitiful expression. He was not an extremely serious guy to do such a thing. It's quite handy

The fat man hesitated for a while, then saw that nothing useful could be squeezed out, and then he raised two fingers again.

He said with a sad face, "Okay, because of your sincerity in coming to Airei, I will give you another face.

Subtracting 200,000, 00,000 is already the bottom line! Think about it, those are 40,000 elites who can form combat power when they return.

With the funds to form a new corps, you can get so many veterans. Where can you find such a good thing!"

The fat man put on a sincere attitude and wanted to say directly, "You made a profit."

"The most I can offer is 600,000! And it's to redeem everyone." Salton gritted his teeth. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also agreed with Fatty's statement. These are 40,000 veterans. For those who are in need of troops, For Nord, it can be said that where to live is very important, so I had to tell the bottom line in my heart.

"Okay, deal!" The fat man agreed without hesitation. He immediately reached out and grabbed Salton's right hand while he was still in a daze, and then said, "I have one more thing to ask Mr. Salton. I need to meet with His Majesty Yagrolk, and I think only Lord Salton can do this!"
