Power and Empire Chapter 1622: Northwest (7)

A guard cavalry in charge of requesting instructions, like lightning half rushed into the city gate known as the "New Northern County" in the outer city of Xinhai City, with horseshoes knocking on the stones of the street, one person and one rider seemed to be immersed in the sea The drops of water, a huge urban atmosphere, people are like weaving, there are many shops, and the noise is endless

"This is in trouble!"

The cavalry guards looked at the crowds in front of them, and they were a little dumbfounded. If they hadn't reacted quickly enough, they pulled their hips off their horses violently, and they had collided with a crossing carriage.

And where he can’t see

"Stop"

The fat man raised his hand sharply, and the guards guarded the carriage and stopped together.

There is a stone bridge at the end of the street in front. Under the stone bridge is a huge river. A merchant ship carrying cargo is going down with the rushing river water, swaying patches of water. This is the outermost traverse of Haicheng. On the other side of the river, the dense trade area and residential area are clearly visible on the inland river transportation line passing by, revealing infinite beauty and temptation.

The fat man brought 20 cavalry guards and a carriage to a stop, which may cause blockages in other cities, but entering this new sea city is completely different. The broad commercial road is enough for ten horses to line up. Let four carriages go through, 20 rides and a carriage,

It's like a drop of water falling into the ocean, and the shadows have long been invisible. It is because Xinhaicheng is too big. The huge population of Xinhaicheng exceeded 350,000 in May, occupying the entire northwest. One-tenth of the population of the region, when the fat man planned, it was to build this huge seaport city into the politics of the entire northwest coast. A huge center of economy, culture, and military. Let the influence of the empire spread from here to the entire northwest. It is prosperous and enviable. Once a poet saw this huge dream city and said something that everyone agreed with.

This is a huge miracle that stands alive on the northwest coast,

Huge, unimaginable miracle, in fact. Some people have begun to call Xinhai City a city of miracles, and its reputation has even spread to Kyoto in the Gaul Empire. You know, this is just a new city that has just appeared in the northwest coast area for only half a month. It has a unique location and a lot of goods. Transshipment center, the most important connection point between the two continents.

At the beginning, Xinhai City, which was still under construction, was already the focus of millions of people under Fatty’s series of overt and secret actions. Whether it is from the Northwest or the merchants traveling between the two continents, it is like a huge sponge. Converge here invariably. Even after the Murphy brothers, who went to work from Gaul Kyoto to the southwest, heard the name of this sea city, they also had the urge to take a look in their hearts

"Have you thought about it?" The fat man turned his head and asked, looking at Angelio who was in a trance next to him.

"Well, as long as your majesty is really willing to let them go, I am willing to return to Sende to carry out that plan!" Angelio gritted his teeth. Looking at the stone bridge in front with piercing eyes,

"Don't worry. I can personally let you see them boarding the ship that leads to the other side of the sea, and guarantee that their mother and child will receive the necessary care for the rest of their lives! "Fatty smiles slightly" I know some people say that I am covering the entire northwest. The tyrant, the reckless man who despises the empire, the cold-blooded, murderous king of the barbarian, but I never take it to heart, because in my eyes, the tyrant, the king of the barbarian, and the madman who kills like a hemp Fortunately, it is not as important as being able to bring a piece of paradise to my people. I have never been ashamed of my sword, even if I add a few more ugly titles!

"Go to the port of the Imperial Navy! Tell the navy, send a warship to escort, and you must reach Ikadiva safely!" The fat man waved his hand, and two cavalry guards escorted the carriage and slowly drove up to the accommodation. At Stone Bridge in the district, the fat man looked at the disappearing back of the carriage, and slowly said, "You can see, don't you fear that I will gossip behind you? Instead of sending them away, you detained them?" The fat man looked depressed, could it be that You just look like a good person like this?

"I dare not say anything to others, but if it is Your Majesty Falcon... Angelio shook his head, blinked his eyes and said, "There is no need to worry about this at all"

"Last seeing off is always sad! I believe in His Majesty’s promise." Angelio's face was calm, turning his horse's head, and said in a more serious tone, "Your Majesty, don’t forget, I am the most trusted attendant of the Duke of Ruosende. So I know a lot of inside stories that others don’t know!

"Your Majesty may not know it himself. If the Northwest monarch has the best reputation and reputation in the Northwest, it must be your Majesty!" It seems that he has let go of everything and all his worries, Angelio’s He turned his eyes to the goods beside the street, and said with a slightly ridiculous atmosphere in his mouth

"This joke is not funny!" The fat man was unexpectedly cold

"Not a joke, but a consensus!"

Angelio looked into the distance with bright eyes, and slowly said, "In the Northwestern Rebellion, everyone thinks that the Julius family's renunciation and the rebellion of the relatives are gone. Even the big tree is destined to do it. When they fell, everyone had already decided that the pattern of the Northwest must have undergone tremendous changes. At that time, even those forces standing on the side of the Julius family had actually lost their determination to continue fighting. On the northwest coast, as long as you look on, you can grab the greatest power in the northwest after the fall of the Julius family"

" But your majesty took the wrong shot." Angelio's voice stopped, with a trace of admiration on his face. "Ignore the benefits at your fingertips. Ignore this northwest power that can be easily obtained without hands. Does your majesty know? When the leaders of the coalition army knew that it was his Majesty who led the army and fought thousands of miles alone, the expression at that time was not only shocked, but also a little respectful. Then the nightmare of the coalition began. The battle of Oacha opened up the entire coalition. In the backyard, looting Bangor, destroying the coalition forces that the Atwood Navy set off northward, and then not giving the coalition a chance to breathe, destroying half of the city of Atwood,

"Your Majesty’s intrepidity, stupefied is to bring the Julius family back to life, which has already been defeated! The coalition forces are in a good situation to reverse"

Angelio seemed to think of something, and a smile was rarely seen at the corner of his mouth. "The panic inside the coalition forces was still shaking before my eyes at this time. Many people called your Majesty a fool, yes. The benefits will not be picked up. But I don’t know how many people secretly admire the Julius family may be embarrassed, the people betrayed their relatives, but they are lucky enough, because at the most desperate time, they have a firm attitude like your majesty, regardless of An ally of profit and loss! As for the reason of marriage, in this troubled world where interests are paramount, what a woman does! This is why the coalition rarely believed that His Majesty would abide by the contract during the subsequent negotiations! If the contract was signed by Julie Fort Svogel, even if they fight for another war, the coalition forces will never sign on it!"

"Actually, I'm not as good as you think! Sending troops is not only to fulfill the promise, but to occupy the northwest coast is the center of gravity." A fat man as thick as a city wall. I am also a little embarrassed,

The two unknowingly came to a cliff on the west side of the city. This is the lighthouse of the navy. They saw that it was a guard. The guards leading to this road did not stop it.

Stop the horseshoe. What appeared in front of the two of them was a huge city with eight channels, like a man-made river running through the city.

The entire city transportation line is connected with the trade harbor leading to the sea, and water transportation is extended to the extreme here. Freight ships can come directly in, 46 river mouths. One hundred and thirty-four bridges, the entire inner city area is like a super huge beautiful hanging chain, layer by layer spread out to the fan,

There are white seagulls in the sky,

The slopes on the periphery of the inner city gradually climbed up, forming four cliffs that are 100 meters above the city. Now one of the four lighthouses on which the two are standing, presents an outwardly expanding arc-shaped division, like covering the outside Each of the backs of the two occupies an area of ​​five li, and huge walls stand up,

Passing through three city gates in a row, the inside is a dense network of inner city roads. This is the largest empire-level seaport city in history. It adopts the customary design of the Falcon Empire, with one main city and four guards. The main city is twenty miles long and wide, including seven large trading ports and two naval ports.

The former city of Atwood, in front of it was like a little country nobleman who could not get on the table,

The dividing line between the military zone and the urban area. Four guard towns guard the periphery of the city. Each guard town was built with a capacity of 50,000 troops. The four guard towns are 200,000, plus the wide main city behind. At least one-half of the 200,000 northwestern army is stationed here as a natural barrier formed by the river.

The commercial area is lined with shops and residential houses on both sides of the road. It is adjacent to each other. There are densely densely packed houses with spires. Goods from two continents gather here. The port is located. The harbor is like a crucian carp crossing the river. It is densely covered by the sea and docked. The white sails in the port are even more ten miles of white sails that people on the northwest coast are also proud of. This miraculous city is enough to make anyone who sees it for the first time feel that there really are miracles in this world

Angelio is like that, but his eyes are full of tears. He knows that this is the last chance for His Majesty Falcon to see him

His gaze searched for the port location below. Although he said lightly, it is not easy to put it down! But the city is too big. There are thousands of merchant ships calling at the port, even if there are not ten thousand. Now there are dozens of ships that are slowly leaving the port.

"Don't look for it, they are on an imperial warship!" The fat man raised his whip and pointed to the rare bend of a ship on the left side of the huge harbor, where a strangely shaped dragon-tooth battleship was heading toward the open sea. "Raising Sail" their identities will no longer be known and remembered. On the land opposite the sea, I can’t guarantee that their mother and child will be rich in their lives, but at least they will be able to live a normal life, but they will be fulfilled. life! But don't you go and send it? I can see that that woman seems to care about you very much, this may be the last of your life,

"It is estimated that in another 20 years, the youngest son of the Duke family for whom you desperately protected may not even remember your name and appearance! After all, for such a small child, your escape all the way may be just your childhood A flash of trance in my memory!"

"Isn't this very good?" Angelio reluctantly retracted his gaze from a distance, let go of everything, a trace of determination flashed on his calm face, and smiled bitterly. "For the youngest son of Lord Duke, cruel In the past, the less you can remember, the better! It’s best if you don’t know your identity for a lifetime.

"Well, can your Majesty tell me now how this plan has been implemented?

"You will be sent back to Ruosende! Go back in the name of betraying the master and killing the son of Lord Duke." The fat face began to become serious. Looking at the invisible sky in the distance, he said, "I will help you find two corpses to cover up. There is also the capture team, and the order to hunt you down in the entire region. You are the old duke's most trusted attendant. Many orders of the Duke are issued through you. You are very useful to them, so the other party will be very happy that you are willing to take refuge in them, and then look for opportunities..."

"Look for a chance to kill Lord Duke. Die?" Angelio said flatly

"It doesn't necessarily need to be this way, but Rendezvous must be messed up by himself! It's best if someone raises troops to rebel." The fat man suddenly sighed. "As a senior attendant, I believe you must have many ways to achieve this effect! "

"Yes, sometimes, a few humble secret letters and some hints can be done! "Angelio nodded." I know that the guards of several counties are all diehards of the Duke. The Duke When they were the heirs, they had a very good relationship with them, especially for HRH Locke's mother's move to abandon the Duke that year. If they knew that the Duke was controlled, HRH Locke was about to inherit the Duke, regardless of whether or not he could fight with His Royal Highness. They will surely raise troops to fight against His Royal Highness Locke. At that time, there will be internal strife in Sender, and Your Majesty will have a reason to send troops!"

The fat man's eyes lighted up, and he realized that talking to smart people is really easy, so he can react. It is no wonder that he can become the confidant of the Duke of Ruosen, and he touched the mane of the war horse. An unknown luster flashed in the fat man’s eyes. "Suddenly I found that you are a smart person who knows the secrets of Send. It is too worthless to lose. If you want to regret it now, you still have time!"

"Your Majesty’s joke is not funny! "Angelio replied the same sentence as the fat man" I only ask your Majesty to let peace replace war after he controls Ruosende!"

"I took this request down!" The fat man nodded his head

Just as the two of "Tata" were about to turn around, a rush of horseshoes came from behind, and a guard cavalry galloped over. "Your Majesty!" The guard who sent the letter jumped off his horse panting. , After asking all the way, finally found the whereabouts of your majesty,

"A woman wants to see me?" When the fat man heard the report from the guard, his face changed slightly, and there was too much debt. Now the fat man is trembling when he hears a woman want to see him.

And Angelio next to him showed a touch of joy and said, "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity. Rather than sneaking back, I have to explain it. It's not as good as a capture team going back with me. , The proof they made is more useful than a thousand sentences I said!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ignat was strapped to the war horse in pain, his eyes were full of blood, and the cracked corners of his eyes formed a hideous bloodstain. Hearing Gwendolyn’s offer to meet the heads of these soldiers, it was even more violent. Struggling, Hu Keqili impatiently shot a guard at a guard,

The guard understood with his heart, and walked over with a knife handle and knocked Ignat out to death. If he moved like this and the broken ribs were inserted into the heart and lungs, then he would really have to take the corpse to explain to your majesty. Not far away, the cavalry guards looked at the scene, Gwendolyn looked at this scene with a cold face, tears streaming down, and the friendship was fully revealed,

Hu Keqili walked back and forth. He was waiting for a reply. He looked up at the sky. It has been more than an hour. There is nothing wrong with it!

The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, Hu Keqili's serious face finally relaxed, the guards who reported the news finally came back, and the guards who reported the news stopped the horses beside him, whispered a few words, Hu Ke Qi Li's face suddenly became very jealous, what, your Majesty really confessed so?

Hu Keqili glanced subconsciously in the direction of Gwendolyn,

At this glance, Gwendolene's face became paler and paler, her hand gripped the handle of the dagger, slowly loosened it, stood up, and walked out

She said that she wanted to see the fat man completely temporarily. She was very confident about her beauty. In order not to cause trouble, she usually covered it with a hood. She wanted to be able to save Ignatius with her sacrifice. Fate, but in fact, there is still a trace of luck in my heart, not desperate, after all, there are fantasy and hope, but the other side's fierce general's glance broke her luck. The meaning of this look is so obvious, that fat man I agree, otherwise, the other party will not look at himself with that look

"What are you going to do?" Hu Keqili looked at Gwendolene who came out murderously, as cold as a sword

"Don't you want to see me?" Gwendolynne has a graceful figure~IndoMTL.com~ she stroked the long hair on her forehead, smiled sadly, beautiful and heartbreaking

"I do want to see someone, but unfortunately, it's not you!" Hu Keqili grinned slightly and waved his hand. The guards once again raised the assault crossbow in their hands. The metal on the crossbow was cold, making Gwen Doreeni was in a trance, this. . What's going on? At this time, she heard Hu Keqili coldly saying, "Except for this woman, kill everyone else!"

The arrows came out like blood, and the cavalry crossbows made the sound of shattering the air at the same time. Gwendolene was completely stupid. The arrow clusters whizzed from all around her to the rear. There was a cruel scream, very I soon fell into peace,

‘Why, why is this happening! "

Gwendolene’s eyes are dull, like a puppet, she slowly turns around, and all the blood that catches her eyes is full of blood,

A dozen companions, lying on the ground in all directions, with arrow clusters of white feathers stuck in them, under them are summer flowers that have been infested with blood,

The cruel death and the earth of early summer merge together. (To be continued...)
