Power and Empire Chapter 3759: Under the sword (24)

"What's the situation!"

"How could the people of Aden be blocked by the imperial army, is this news reliable?"

"Are the losses of the people of Aden serious?" The news brought by the attendant changed the expressions of the southern princes in the entire Great Tent. Whether they were southern conservatives or aristocrats, all their voices stopped at this moment. Although the Aden people abandoned everyone here, it certainly made the southern princes feel depressed, but no one expected that the Aden people would encounter imperial forces. The imperial army’s delay in attacking has already made the southern princes panic, and the Adenites What happened to him illustrates another fact. The way to escape south has been blocked by the imperial army. Otherwise, the Adenites would not be beaten and fled back.

The strength of the people of Aden is not bad. There are more than 26,000 directly under the armed infantry of the Red Dragon Palace. They are well equipped and absolutely not under the imperial army. There are also 4,000 or 5,000 skilled Red Dragon knights. As the backbone of the army, if you want to repel such a force in the wild, conservative estimates need more than twice the force. However, the escape of the Aden people was not even noticed by the southern princes. Could the imperial army be unpredictable?

No one can predict the prophet. Even the southern princes who are allies did not expect the escape of the Aden people. What's more, the Aden people encountered tragic resistance on the side of the empire. The current situation can only show one problem. The imperial army's encirclement has formed. , The way everyone fled south was cut off by the imperial army!

"We have been here for so many days in vain. Now it’s alright. The imperial army has surrounded us. Even if we want to escape back, it’s impossible." A southern prince with an ugly expression of grief and anger, from King Ero When the capital was withdrawn, it should immediately turn to the south, but the Aden and the Royal family of Erot asked the southern princes to get stuck in this position as a bait to lure the imperial army, but the imperial army’s tactics were beyond everyone’s expectations and did not immediately He rushed forward, but launched a surprise scout war, which made the southern princes cry with tears, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the dense forest in the distance will be used as an imperial army

"Don’t make yourself confused. The imperial army has only 80,000 people. If such a large encirclement is really maintained, then there must be weaknesses, and the reason why the Aden Red Dragon Cavalry in Poros was blocked by the imperial army , I think it should be related to Poros leading the Red Dragon Knight to ambush the Imperial Cavalry outside the King’s Capital of Eero. "An old man with abnormally white skin squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table lightly, turning everyone’s attention away. Attracted, the old man looks quite sang, but the fingers exposing his sleeves are white and afraid of others, like a white scar, as if he had suffered some kind of burns.

Seeing the old man talking, the other lords immediately silenced

This old man is called Ogrini. He is the patriarch of the Ogg family of the four great marquis in the south. As the oldest of the southern princes, he can live sixty-three years old in the harsh climate of yellow sand in the south. With a vigorous back and a straight back, Ogrini itself is a legend in the southern princes. There are even rumors that Ogrini, as the second son of the family, is not eligible to inherit the family title, but in the end he can become Ogri The owner of the Ni’s house is entirely because the old man used to be a very famous adventurer when he was young. He used to stay in the land of yellow sand for a period of time, and finally brought out some kind of object from inside, and such a thing was taken by Ogri The Ni family was dedicated to the Eero royal family, which was greatly favored by the Eero royal family, and the Oge family was promoted from earl to marquis,

As for what it is, the Ogg family never mentions it, and there have been speculations from the outside world that what the Ogg family might have found was the eye of the **** that was left by the southern branch of Eero!

The southern area of ​​Eero was wiped out by the great flood 80 years ago, but the countless remnants left behind have made the Southern Obalo region a sacred place for mainland adventurers. Every year, there will be many mercenaries and adventurers trying. As they entered the southern yellow sand zone, some people died within a few days of entering, and some people ran out alive after entering for more than ten days, but they looked broken, but the most famous one was a member of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden. The chief priest hired more than a hundred adventurers and mercenaries to enter the yellow sands. It took more than a month to make the most adequate preparations, and also hired a dozen southern locals as guides.

For people in other areas, the deep yellow sand is a dead place, and it is absolutely impossible for life to survive. But for the native southerners, they have been accustomed to the yellow sand invasion since childhood. After decades, four The bloodlines of the five generations have evolved, and some southerners have developed considerable resistance to Huangsha.

In order to increase their worth, these so-called guides often bring back bad information about Huangsha. Some people say that there are still many southerners living in them, but they have become non-human monsters. At night, they would go out to wander, and some people said that it was the dead zone of the whole city. The silence was terrible. People became blind and deaf as they walked. Many people who had entered before could never get out again, but Many people mentioned one thing in common, and that is the sun. It stands to reason that the yellow sand covering the sky is invisible to the sun, but many guides have vowed to say that they have seen the sun in the yellow sand. Some people have guessed that it should be. The Eye of God that the Eero royal family discarded on the southern site at the time. It is said that the high temperature of the Eye of God melted half of the city and dried up the large lake outside the old capital of Eero, leading to the result of King Eero at that time. More than 80,000 people in the capital were wiped out in an instant,

Ogrini, who was one of the adventurers at the time, was undoubtedly also moved by this legend.

The Eye of God not only represents the power of Eero up and down, but also a powerful force that all monarchs covet. The search for the Eye of Eero’s Southern God has never stopped for decades, and that The chief priest is undoubtedly the one with the largest number of people, and the one most likely to be found, because everyone knows that if you want to find the Eye of God, in addition to the original Eero royal family, you will teach the Tuan Nation and the Red Dragon Palace. , And this chief priest is the senior person in charge of book management in the Red Dragon Temple. This time he suddenly came to the south of Eero and undoubtedly found some clues, but he was eventually found lying on the edge of the yellow sand belt.

The whole body of this priest is covered with white scars that have been burned by some kind of heat, and the entourage has no life. Finally, the chief priest of the Red Dragon Temple just said "Land Kingdom of God" in his mouth. Sentence died, and from the edge, he found the chief priest of the Red Dragon Temple, who was Oghini

Of course this is Ogrini’s secret

Everyone thinks that what he presented to the Eero royal family is the Eye of God. In fact, what he presented to the Eero royal family is the corpse of the priest who can no longer see the human form. The white scars are not due to human deaths. The end, on the contrary, the corpse of the sacrifice that died became completely white after three days, the characters are lifelike, there is no corruption at all, and it is more like a long sleep

In fact, it wasn’t just the chief priest of the Red Dragon Temple who saw him. When Ogrini and his father went to the northern capital to meet the Emperor, he unexpectedly saw a very similar white color in the hands of the Emperor. Scar

Although it is not as terrible as this sacrificial ritual is dyed all over, it is a secret that everyone knows that the emperors of Eero are less than 40 years old, and every emperor’s body buried will be required to be clothed with white cloth. Wrap the whole body, even the face will be covered with a golden mask. According to the narrative of the Eero teachings, the Eero emperors regarded death as long sleep. When their whole body is covered by the white god, they will sleep forever. I woke up in the middle, but who would dare to say that it was not to cover up the white scars all over his body, and every generation of Emperor Eero died, his concubines would also be buried, and none of them were spared! And some of them may be the mothers of the next Emperor Eero

It is not that the new emperor who did not succeed to the throne opposed this system, but they all ended up without success

Emperor Eero will not be resurrected from death or not, but Eugrini has no way of knowing, but then some white scars also appeared on his body, or he was scared to death. Maybe he was infected by the corpse. Ogrini was inexplicably horrified. He thought it was the only possibility. He was infected by just transporting the body to the northern capital. It is conceivable what happened to the chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace

Fortunately, these white scars did not expand rapidly,

And Ogrini also unexpectedly discovered that over time, his energy began to surpass that of ordinary people, and his attention and vision surpassed that of ordinary people. Even in the past forty years, in addition to gray hair, it looks His face is vicissitudes of life, in fact, the spirit is the same as that of his youth. It seems that time has lost its effect on him. Even his head turns much faster than others. If he knows what radiation mutation is, then he knows that he belongs to mutation. For one, the chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace did discover something incredible. After being exposed to intense radiation, he fled to the edge. Although he died in the end, the corpse itself was one of the sources of radiation.

"Master Eugrini meant that the imperial army was only aimed at the people of Aden, not against us?" The southern princes breathed a little bit. Everyone knew Master Eugrini had the first wise man in the south. 'S title often makes some surprising predictions, and they have all been fulfilled,

"I don't know, I can only say so guessing!" Oghini glanced at the desktop

"What's the basis?" Someone gritted his teeth unwillingly. The imperial army may be overwhelmed at any time, and the fiasco of the Adenites proves the strength of the imperial army. As long as there is a slight possibility, no one wants to fight the imperial army.

"Isn't this letter from the top empire in front of us justified? How do you know that the people of Aden weren't deliberately rushed back by the empire?" Ogrini's fingers fell heavily on the table and his eyes revealed. A sly, as he said this sentence, a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded in the big tent. No one had thought about it before, but when the name of Ogrini was mentioned, everyone's hearts were full. It's all shocking, isn't it? The people of Aden were intercepted by the imperial army, and this letter from the imperial was also sent at this time. To say that this is a coincidence, it would be too self-deceiving,

The empire made it clear that it was to block the Aden people back and let them kill themselves!

"Kill the people of Aden, everyone can live"

Such thoughts throbbed in the minds of the princes in the south. The people of Aden ran away and directly abandoned us. Why should we bear the empire's anger for the mistakes of the people of Aden? If the people of Aden didn’t take the initiative to ambush the imperial cavalry outside the capital city of Eero, and then send out assassins to slaughter the sky temple in the capital of Eero, how could the empire go crazy and kill the scouts. , And now everyone is trapped here, what is the reason? Isn’t it the so-called strategic plan designated by the Aden people? Seeing that the situation is not good, it is the Aden people who ran away, and the Aden people who attacked the imperial army, and the Aden people who slaughtered the temple, and now they are the Aden people who are attracting the imperial army!

Everyone's eyes are red, and the heavy breathing can be heard

"How many troops do the Aden people still have?" a lord asked with a vicious snort

"The 30,000 Aden troops, even if they are blocked, there should be half of them." Another prince hesitated.

"In other words, 15,000 people, we have 200,000 people, there should be no pressure to eat 15,000 people!" The hideous lord punched the table with a punch

"Yes, these people in Aden are not pleasing to the eye for a long time. Those who point fingers are about to regard themselves as the masters of Southern Eero"

"Don’t be impulsive, you guys, you have to know that the only people who can help us resist the empire’s southward move are the people of Aden. We can’t kill each other, let the empire take advantage of it for nothing." A nobleman’s face almost burst into tears. ,

"But if the empire is not allowed to take advantage, can everyone live?" The Marquis of Kentam who had been silent finally spoke. He glanced at the princes around and sighed and said, "For the empire, we are the best The chess pieces that can't be used on the table are nothing more than the difference between a little useful and useless. If the imperial army wants to attack us, it may have attacked long ago. Now if we don't even show its usefulness, then there is really only a dead end."

"The Marquis of Kentam, you running dog of the empire, what qualifications do you have..." A noble with an angry red face glared at the Marquis of Kentam

"Enough, Lord Ajidi, what's the point of only venting anger, unless you can prevent the imperial army from attacking us, that's useful" A southern lord directly interrupted the nobleman, and he was not polite "I agree with Lord Kentam's statement, kill the Aden people, the imperial sword has been put on our necks, what are you still arguing about here"

In the silence, another lord said, "I agree to do something to the people of Aden"

"The people of Aden had bad intentions, but now they are just taking the blame!"

"Yes~ IndoMTL.com~ hands on! Everyone has a way to survive"

On the side of the southern princes camp, the Aden people who fled back have just camped. Poros went to the camp of the southern princes, but the southern princes refused to meet him

"These idiots will pay the price one day" Poros left the southern coalition camp with a sullen face. At four o'clock in the morning, a red dragon knight awakened the sleeping Poros. "My lord, come from the southern princes." Now, ask to see the adults!"

"Well, I see, please wait a moment, I'll come right away"

Poros sat up abruptly from the bed. The fierce fighting and running in the middle of the night made him exhausted. He walked out of the tent. His eyes became more sad. By the campfire, some red dragon knights did not rest. , The fiasco I just experienced, and the guilt of discarding 20,000 infantrymen, causing some red dragon knights to make terrible roars, like crazy, some crying, those red dragon knights and infantry who died are all red dragons Friends who get along with each other day and night

"Seize first, don't let others read the jokes" Poros said coldly. Suddenly, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of weapons and iron armor colliding with each other, as well as the voice of the guardian knight. "You What are you doing! It's so rude!"

A rough voice said: "Don't bother Master Poros to come out, we can just go in by ourselves!"

"Bastard! You don't understand the rules, this is the camp of Aden, the trespassers are dead-come here, there are assassins!" Then there was the sound of scolding and fighting weapons, and the guard knight muttered deeply, apparently already affected. Hurt. Hearing this, Poros already knew that something was wrong, and quickly drew out his saber and blinked his eyes. The gate of the camp had been kicked open, and countless torches swarmed in. Ying Ying Chuo Chuo didn't know how many people there were, sharp blades. There was a cold light of metal flashing in the crowd.
