Power and Empire Chapter 3737: Under the sword (2)
On the northern coast of Eero, huge waves hit the solid cliffs with impact. Under the bright moonlight, after hitting like a crazy white snake, it turned into countless crystal clear stars. Scattered, the waves behind continued to surging forward in large swaths. The wave heads were basically more than two meters, sometimes even four meters, and even more than five meters at the most severe time. The reefs on the edge were directly covered by the waves. The waves broke apart, and it felt like a reef suddenly emerged from the water. It seemed to be crumbling under the impact of the waves. It could be washed away at any time. The impact made a huge sound, which was even more shocking. Feel
The wind drove the sea and formed turbulent waves. The cold water hit the deck of the Dragon-class battleship. A black-haired young man stood on the bow of the battleship, staring at the undulating contours of the distant coastline
"Your Majesty, ahead is the Ozy Moon Bay that is about to dock"
The former Princess Hérault, Enkelo, came up from behind, wearing a capable and exquisite safari outfit, and her golden and cloud-like hair fell unfettered, lining the beautiful face of this peerless princess. . Her outline is as clear as a knife cut, giving people a sense of determination. The particularly slender neck shows an indescribable grace. Staring at the changing scene in front, her eyes are full of memories.
"Obi Moon Bay? Did you get this name from Mount Aitmen?" the black-haired young man asked curiously
"I made this name myself"
Ancoluo looked up at the starry sky with beautiful glory, and took a few deep breaths. In the direction of the coast in front, a white bay under the moonlight appeared unexpectedly, and there was an old one on the cliff. The lighthouse was deserted because of no one. Only a half-collapsed old tower foundation can be seen standing on the top of the cliff. The moonlight shines on this dilapidated old lighthouse, dragging out a long shadow because it is located in the front Most of the internal testing of the cliff wall is blocked by the cliff wall. If it is not close to a certain distance, or if you know it in advance, almost no one would have thought that there is such a calm bay on this windy coastline
Ancoluo suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, then lowered his head and said, "This is my hometown. Although I was born in Mount Ellimon, it does not mean that I have no parents. My parents are just ordinary fishermen, because The debts were turned into slaves, and I was sold as goods. I was only six years old and didn’t know what was going on. It was Elder Terra of Aitmon Mountain who found me in the slave market. I took Aitmen Mountain, otherwise I didn’t dare to think about what I would become. Later, I became a princess, and I was here once, hoping to find a trace, but I didn’t find anything in the end. I call this place Ozy Moon Bay, because this is the place in my childhood memory, like an obscure moon in the sky, it has appeared in my dreams many times."
"I heard that Aitmen Mountain is looking for people from orphans. It seems that this rumor is true? ‘The black-haired young man turned his eyes to Encoluo’s white and flawless face
"Not everyone is an orphan"
In the eyes of the emperor, Enkelo saw a trace of coldness, thinking of Mount Atmont’s infamous reputation, and quickly explained, "Although Mount Atmont has served the Royal Family of Erot for so many years, it even undertook surveillance. The responsibility of the nobles, but the position of Aitmeng in Eero is extremely embarrassing. Everyone regards us as a vicious dog raised by the Eero royal family, but they don’t know that our status may even be a dog. Rather, the royal family of Eero is ready to give us all kinds of heavy and dangerous tasks, but they only give half a million gold each year. In order not to starve to death, we can only think of other ways."
"Other methods?" The black-haired emperor's eyes flickered.
Ancoluo's pretty face blushed unexpectedly, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly. "In fact, it's nothing to say. This is also known within the Erot Empire. Since Etmund Mountain relies on fame, it can only be sold. Fame, except for the most core personnel, most of the other personnel are the so-called peripheral personnel developed, but these personnel are just a title of Aitmen Mountain, as long as they are in accordance with each year. It is stipulated that a certain amount of fees should be paid to Aitmen. Even if Aitmen is not obeyed, Aitmen will generally not punish them, and Aitmen’s notoriety is mostly due to these people, these There are ordinary nobles, soldiers, and even great nobles, but the most numerous are slave traders and usurers. Although Aitmont’s reputation is not good, it still has a certain role in the underground world, at least backed by the background of the royal family. Many things can be done conveniently, as long as the interests of the great nobles are not touched, the inside of the Erot Empire is also turning a blind eye to the practice of Aitmont Mountain."
The black-haired young man was a little confused, he really didn't expect Aitmen Mountain to be embarrassed to such a degree
The funding of only half a million gold a year, the Royal Family of Eero is so stingy, a country’s secret agency, even less than one-tenth of the empire’s funds for intelligence in a quarter, it’s no wonder Egypt The Luo Empire always lags behind in the report. It turns out that it is short of money. Intelligence is money. If you want intelligence, you must spend a lot of money. On this, the black-haired emperor has considerable confidence and ends with the front. Take the battle of the Holy Capital of the Kingdom of the Order as an example. Everyone only saw the miraculous rebellion of the empire, which was invincible, but few people noticed that in order to obtain information about the Martin Liya people and the internal situation of the three tribes, the Imperial Intelligence Department first Just drop in two million gold in one tone
The black-haired young man hesitated and asked, "This also includes the Marquis of Kentham, one of the three southern marquis?"
"Yes, the Kentam family used to make several transactions with us at Mount Etmund, mainly to buy iron ore from the north." Enkoro looked at the emperor who was looking at the distant bay, cautiously "Although the southern princes of Eero belong to the Eero royal family in name, in fact, the Eero royal family has always adopted high-handed rule over the southern princes, and it is completely forbidden to sell weapons and iron ore to the south. If the other party I want to send someone to the north to buy these sensitive materials secretly, but also to transport them back secretly. Without my Atmen’s acquiescence, the other party would not be able to do it anyway. This is also one of my Atmen’s important financial sources. This time The other party contacted us again, hoping that our Atmen Mountain would still be the same as before, turning a blind eye to their actions in the north of Eero"
"The other party is so confident?" The black-haired emperor turned around and asked with interest. He had probably heard about the suppression of the southern princes by the former Eero royal family. They all said that the southern princes of Eero were The descendants of the criminals sent by the Eero royal family. For decades, the Eero royal family has been wary of the South, even
"The other party provided important information in exchange for the qualification to fully develop trade in the north, and the other party believed that after reading the information, we would agree to continue cooperating with the Kentam family." Enkoro seemed to think of something, The other party’s words were obviously threatening, but after reading the information, even she, the head of the Imperial Southern Intelligence Department, felt the seriousness of the situation and had to report the matter to the emperor. , Let the emperor decide,
"That piece of information?" The black-haired emperor's mind flashed through the emergency report sent at noon
"Yes, that was sent to the Southern Intelligence Department in Cairo from the Kentam family"
Enkelo gritted his teeth, his ruddy and seductive lips were slightly annoyed and said, "The other party's move is obviously a provocation to the Southern Intelligence Department of our empire. The name of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kentam family is the Cabrus Chamber of Commerce. The people they sent It is the second daughter of the Kentam family, Atris, as long as your majesty nods, I can immediately arrest this woman and completely wipe out everything from the Kentam family to the north."
The black-haired emperor waved his hand and smiled at the corner of Enkelo's mouth. "The information sent is actually not as important as the Kentam family thought. The Adenites and the southern princes of Eero joined forces. , The navy has already confronted the Adenites, but it is not yet known who the Adenites will send this time, how many people have arrived, and what self-confidence they have, so that the southern princes of Eero think that by joining forces with the Adenites, they can stop the empire from going south. ? Since it is proved that the request is true, then the Kentam family may not be able to use it."
"Your Majesty means..."
A different color flashed across Encoluo's pretty face, and her long blonde hair blowing in the sea breeze was blowing in the wind. In comparison, she was majestic and heroic, yet another intoxicating demeanor.
"According to the Kentam's request, but asking them to send a piece of information to the south." The black-haired emperor's eyes fell on the bones of a raging wave hitting the cliff in the distance. His black pupils were like stars under the night. As bright
"Your Majesty meant to send a false information to the South? Your Majesty is really wise." Enkelo's pretty face showed a look of sudden realization. After all, the Kentam family is the family of the three major marquis in the south, and it is also the coalition of the southern vassals. One of the leaders inside, this time the imperial army assembled in the north of Eero, it is impossible for the princes of the south of Eero not to get the news. A piece of false information is enough to make the princes of the south make a wrong judgment. When they react, it is already The imperial army swept south~IndoMTL.com~ If the intelligence provided by others, it may not be adopted by the southern princes, but if it was taken out by Kentam, one of the three marquis, it would be hard to tell
"The intelligence is true. Tell the people of the Kentam family that the Minister of Imperial Affairs Hu Keqili has secretly arrived in Cairo Port." The black-haired emperor shrugged helplessly
"Your Majesty, this is" Ankeluo's body trembled slightly, is the emperor crazy?
"Don’t be nervous, I just want to know what exactly the princes in the south of Eero want to do. The Battle of the Sun Fortress has ended, and the imperial envoy has been changed to Prais, then Hukoqili is not in Central Obaro. There is no way to conceal the fact that the whole continent is now speculating where Hu Keqili has gone. If the princes in the south of Eero suddenly get this news, what do you think will happen to them?"
The dark-haired emperor’s seemingly understatement made Encoluo involuntarily say a clever sentence. There is no doubt that if the southern princes of Eero are not fools, the first time they receive this news, they must give up immediately. The siege of King Erot, before the arrival of the imperial army, was first to withdraw to the south. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the southern princes risked being crushed by the imperial army and refused to stop outside King Erot. If you retreat, it can only explain one problem. The goal of the southern princes to besiege the Eero capital is not to take the Eero capital at all, but to attract the empire to the south!
