Power and Empire Chapter 3940: Traces

The black-haired young man yawned boredly and glanced at the outline of the city in the clouds that was gradually disappearing into the horizon, with a bit of melancholy on his face

The nine towers in the dawn light, the towering brick walls are covered with pale ivy, like a weather vane in the distance, there is no rumored box that should be used to store genes, but Putamia has seen the temple After the images on the screen in the hinterland, after knowing that the pope himself may not be a normal human, he put down his original idea of ​​continuing to pursue the Prophet Ferran, and said that he would return to the holy city

"Although the ecclesiastical state has no need to continue, the relics of the past dynasties should be sent to the Tianmiao for preservation. I believe that the great sacrifice of the Tianmiao will be handled properly. This is also the last wish of the popes of the dynasties. ...Pudamia's fascinating pair of sharp pupils twitched on the face of the black-haired young man, approaching and suppressing the voice to an impossibly low level, but the words were still clear and sighing. Lan said softly, "Are you very happy, so that the sect country will be completely swallowed by the empire, and you don't have to worry about whether you want the country or the beauty?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I have never made the idea of ​​the Holy City. Even now, you are still the Lord of the Holy City. Even if you say you want to go back, I will not stop it!" He shrugged his shoulders calmly and said that everything was not planned by himself. Whether it was the holy city or the ecclesiastical state, the empire was treated as an ally at the beginning, and there was no thought of annexation. "What the empire needs is the ecclesiastical state." The South Market, not the land of the ecclesiastical country"

"Even if you are right, what about Harvey Plateau? The Empire must also need the Harvey Plateau market, right"

Pudamia sneered at the imperial emperor’s denial, and said in a clear and muffled voice, "The capital of King Harvey is almost completely destroyed, and the Ikar Army has suffered heavy losses. The empire is only secretly attacking, so it does not cost a single soldier. The last two powers of Nan Eiro were both defeated, and more than 100,000 troops died in vain. I am afraid that the monarchs of other countries will be dumbfounded. At this moment, this is powerless to the old enemies on the Harvey Plateau. It is not what the empire wants. It's okay to clean up. At this moment, whether it is Harvey or Ikal, I am afraid that they only have to follow the imperial mediation. The Harvey paid all their efforts to stop the empire from going south, and the Ikal did it for the sake of self. You can only get closer to the empire. If it weren’t for my personal experience, who would know that all this is the arrangement of your majesty"

"The Royal Capital Earthquake has nothing to do with me!" The black-haired young man curled his lips. Since knowing that the Hokuriku-like earthquake had happened again on the Harvey Plateau, he felt that Putamia saw that his vision was not right, and where he was intervening. , Wherever there is an earthquake, this coincidence also makes the black-haired youth very distressed

"I did not say that the earthquake has something to do with your majesty. Why should your majesty rush to deny it?" Putamia smiled on her pretty face, and sighed with annoyance and hatred. "It's a pity, King Harvey The area is not completely destroyed. In that case, there should be more dead people! There are only a few hundred thousand people now, and tens of thousands of them are Ikars. The Ikars are also bad luck, and they finally hit King Harvey. Under the capital, but encountered this kind of accident"

"Listen to your tone, you know how deeply you hate Harvey's betrayal. I calculated Harvey Plateau, it can be regarded as helping you revenge, what are you dissatisfied with"

The black-haired young man smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth, and looked back from the distant meadow that was undulating like waves under the wind. He knew that Putamia had always been brooding about Harvey’s betrayal, if it weren’t for Harvey’s rebellion. , The sect nation will not experience such a catastrophe, he said coldly, "Of course, if this matter is spread out, I will definitely not admit it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire has long stated its attitude. The earthquake in the Harvey Plateau is not like the Empire In any relationship, as for the grievances between the Harvey and the Ikar, the empire will not intervene"

"I don't believe that the empire will really not intervene?"

Pudamia’s pretty face showed a surprise, her white fingers picked up the red wine on the table, she glanced at the black-haired youth, pursed her lips and smiled, with a hateful air of triumph. "Ha Because of its unique location on the plateau, the Uighur Plateau has always been the biggest barrier for any force to expand to the south. Even the ecclesiastical state did not consider expanding south, but in the end it chose to compromise in front of the Harvey Plateau. The Harvey Alliance is also a last resort"

Pudamia paused, his eyes flashed and recalled, "Although the Harvey Plateau is barren, the high-quality iron on the Harvey Plateau is the dream of any force, and now the Harvey people and The Ikars suffer both losses, and how many forces regard it as the best time to intervene in the Harvey Plateau. All forces must send people to the Harvey Plateau at this moment. The Harvey Plateau is now a big fat.

The Ikal and Harvey who are both hurting both are eagerly eager for help from external forces, and naturally they will come up with enough exchanges. I don’t believe that your Majesty is really indifferent to the high-quality iron ore on the Harvey Plateau. Impossible. Even if I heard that the Imperial Research Institute had invented a machine called a steam engine, this kind of machinery would greatly improve mining efficiency when used in mines. High-quality concentrate iron ore is not tempted

To be able to use high-quality iron ore from the Harvey Plateau to create a magic weapon is the lifelong dream of a forging craftsman, and the Imperial Military Industry represents the highest level in the Obaro region. If you get the plateau stars, The military industry of the empire will inevitably rise to the next level. If your Majesty delays, the big fat of Harvey Plateau will be divided by other forces! "

"The first move is not necessarily the winner, and I just said that the empire will not intervene..." The black-haired young man murmured to himself

"What does this mean?"

Pudamia's delicate body shook slightly. How could the imperial emperor who had always been good at fishing in troubled waters let it go?

But the imperial emperor himself was here, showing that he didn’t care at all. It really made Putamia feel puzzled. This place was 30 miles away from the city of Yunzhong. A few days ago, it was Here, the imperial iron cavalry plowed into this place like a powerful heavy sword, crushing the beast tide approaching Yunzhong City. At the same time, it was the fluke of all the nobles in Yunzhong City. Psychology

"As a pope, you should know that timing is far more important than first hand." The black-haired young man narrowed his eyes into a thin line, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a hint of sly, Pudamia could feel At this moment, the other party’s momentum suddenly changed from a sheep to a tiger, her pretty face could not help but changed color, half of her body was numb, at this moment, she remembered that sitting in front of her was the top strategic man in the entire continent. The imperial military **** that Oubaro is terrified of, the falcon’s claws never fail. The military **** emperor does not take action, and his shot is a killer style, which has always been the whole continent to talk about. , And feel shocked by all opponents, no one wants to be an opponent with such an enemy

The emperor’s flash of sword light has never been missed. The moment the sword falls, it kills the game. No one can avoid it!

"You mean, it’s like this trip to the Temple of Heaven!" Putamia looked defeated and sighed. Killing the emperor Eero’s blade to reverse the tide is different like snow. What the emperor showed in the temple is full control of the whole situation, the mastery of the hearts of all people, and the hand of the Red Dragon Palace to drive the tide of beasts,

Forced by force, it is more profitable and moving. Within a day, the hearts of the people in Tianmiao are turned upside down!

Although the power of the empire’s 20,000 iron horses to sweep everything down makes the tribes of the Tianmiao bow their heads and surrender, it is the Tianmiao itself that really determines the destination of the Tianmiao area

The high priest of the Tianmiao personally appeared to express his welcome to the empire entering the southern part of Eero. The Tamasu family, who had been responsible for the administration of Cloud City for a long time, also stated that they would move to Eero's capital, and the empire announced the imperial region in due course It is free and open to the entire Tianmiao tribe. The Tianmiao is completely integrated into the empire. The tribes in the Tianmiao area can freely go to any part of the empire and enjoy the same rights as the orthodox empire.

On this point, the tribes are already cheering. Although the Tianmiao area looks beautiful, it is actually relative. The thunderstorms in the Tianmiao area cause many tribes to die in the wild every year, and the Tianmiao area itself is not It is suitable for farming and can only be used for grazing. The limited area and resources also limit the development of the tribes. The opening of the areas under the rule of the empire allows these tribes who have been trapped in the Tianmiao area to see new hope. The tribes are all packing their bags and are going to take a look outside the Tianmiao area. The powerful influence of the Northern Empire is like the early spring when the Tianmiao area began to turn green in just a few days. In the shortest time It spread throughout the Tianmiao Tianmiao area,

At this moment, the southern region of Eero fully agrees with the rule of the empire, both politically and spiritually.

This is also the place that shocked Pudamia. The Temple of Heaven in her heart is a sacred place away from the world, and the stubbornness of the southern part of Eero is well known throughout the world. Although it is part of the Eero Empire, it is stubborn and stubborn. The center of the Eero Empire has fought for decades. The southern princes are like a piece of iron. How many times have the Eero royal family ruined, and the harsh catastrophic climate in the south of Eero has been used as a barrier, even Putami. Yadu believes that the southern part of Eero will be a very difficult bone. The empire can easily conquer the northern part of Eero, but if it wants to make the southern part of Eero surrender, unless the emperor leads a large army southward and kills all the stubborn resisters. Light, or can make the stubborn Eero South yield. In this case, it will take at least fifty years for Eero South to regain its vitality

The fact is that the imperial emperor did not personally lead the army to the south, but cleverly used the decoy of the old capital of Eero to disintegrate the monolithic Eronan, and had to surrender to the empire in less than two months. , And the Tianmiao, which has always been regarded as the spiritual sustenance of the southerners, has only persisted in front of the emperor for less than a month. Conquering by force is not difficult, but it can completely regain the hearts of the southerners. The empire only took less than half a year

If this kind of achievement is known to the successive emperors of Ero, who had spent countless efforts for the South, they would vomit blood!

All this confirms the importance of timing

Three days later,

The diffuse white mist gradually became clear, and the huge mountain range that I saw when I first entered the Tianmiao area began to appear in the front, like a giant dragon lying in front, the giant dragon collar, this is the name of the mountain range, encountered the sky in the south Before the change, there was even a complete road traversing this huge mountain range, but as the sky changes in the south, this rumored road has been covered by countless weeds and shrubs because it has been abandoned for decades.

A hundred-man imperial cavalry drove into the front to clear the road. The horses' hoofs stepped on and made a rushing sound. Because there were too many weeds, the cavalry could only dismount the horses and chop off the weeds with knives.

The tent was raised and quickly covered the entrance of the mountain trail.

"This is the main commercial road that once connected to the direction of the Royal Capital of Eero. It was originally abandoned because of the yellow sand. If we return from here, we can save at least four days." The pope squatted by the fire pit, examining it. While holding the map obtained from the Tianmiao, he explained to the black-haired youth on the opposite side why he had to take this road. It can be seen that the female pope had a very bad impression of the old road. At the beginning, in order to protect her, at least ten Several loyal Templar knights are buried there,

"It's not bad to get through here, at least it will save future caravans from taking the original route." The young black-haired youth stood up and stretched out.

"How are you going to deal with those two women? Although you promised that the high priest of the Temple of Heaven will send Zhang Ling'er back to Zhongbia, the Zhang clan wants to restore the previous status, it is bound to be inseparable from the support of the empire, I I believe this is the reason why the high priest entrusted Zhang Ling'er to you. The other is that the Celine swordsman looks cold, but those eyes that look at you are hotter than flames. Look at you, they are all I can’t wait to swallow you. If it weren’t for her who knew you’re abandoning the sword stone to point you, I would have thought you’d do something to other people. It’s all a woman. Can you hide this from me!" Putamia turned to the black hair The young man blinked playfully. In the center of the camp, there was a vigorous figure and an imperial guard facing the sword. The sword light was like snow. Although the figure was a woman, it did not fall on the battled imperial guard at all. Below, it was Tamasu Celine who went with the caravan to the old capital of Ero this time

This time, I still returned to the capital of Ero in the form of a caravan. Varisian stayed in the temple temporarily to clean up the remaining beast force around the temple area. The area swept by the imperial cavalry has calmed down a lot. , Along the way, you can’t even see a wild wolf, but the accompanying cavalry guards increased to five hundred. Five hundred well-equipped imperial cavalry plus the number of previous caravans, a total of seven or eight hundred people, is not lost. In a small army, it is enough for any bandit to dodge

Of course not all of them are avoided. For example, the special products of the southern Eero area will not be avoided by adventurers who go to the yellow sand area. The southern yellow sand has faded, and a large number of southern relics have been exposed. Many valuable properties and Objects are often found, and rumors of getting rich overnight have been heard from time to time. This has attracted adventurers who went to the south to find a wealth of money. At the beginning, the Eero royal family gave up the south to go north. Many southern cities were evacuated in a hurry, and many things that were too late to move were all Abandoned in these ruins, handicrafts, jewelry, and some adventurers returning from the ruins are used to following large caravans to ensure their safety. It is normal to be attacked on the way back, and there are even special ones. Bandits rob adventurers from the ruins of the South

And this team of adventurers was lucky. They happened to run into the caravan passing through the mountains. The caravan with the king flag of Kentam showed that this caravan was a genuine caravan of the king, and it was accompanied by a guard. The five hundred imperial cavalry was even more of a regular army posture. After following for a day, the adventurers also began to let go of their worries

There can only be one female sword saint in Cloud City. When Lina Muya stays, Celine must leave. Fortunately, the Tamasu family has no previous enthusiasm for the female sword saint. This time it is the emperor. She promised to go to the old king’s capital to assist in the management, so she naturally took Celine away. I have to say ~IndoMTL.com~ After the baptism of abandoning the sword stone, the temperament of a female swordsman became more and more obvious. The sword is like snow, and the beauty is like jade. Although the graceful posture under the sword dance is not as good as Lina Muya's unique and outstanding style, there is also a moving charm. I saw the long sword drifting down, and a set of swordsmanship was stunned. After taking a look at Qingcheng and then Qingguo's glamorous dancing, even the black-haired youth sometimes finds it difficult to look away from her. Other imperial guards couldn’t help but applaud again and again

"He just looked at you three times, and counting the previous ones, there are eleven eyes in total. Congratulations, you are one step closer to your goal." Zhang Linger smiled and passed the towel in her hand to Celine, who came to rest, has been friends since childhood, and now they are heading to the capital of Eero together

"My swordsmanship, will he really see it?" Celine took the towel and wiped her face, whispered.

"Hehe, the sword dance technique on the abandoned sword stone, not to mention the man, even this woman like me is tempted to see it, not to mention your sword dance technique is still instructed by him, even the teacher will treat yourself Students care about it." Zhang Ling'er curled her lips and comforted Celine to continue. This was her idea. The emperor was the person with the highest martial skills among all the people. Every time Celine won an opponent, she was close to the emperor. The challenge is one step closer

For the Imperial Guards, after Celine, the female swordsman, has turned eleven people in a row, even the murderous Captain of the Imperial Guard has put away his underestimation. In fact, everyone I know that Celine is attracting the emperor’s attention, so naturally it is impossible to fight against this charming female swordsman.

Just when Celine once again defeated an Imperial Guard and plucked up the courage to go to the dark-haired youth to challenge her, she saw the dark-haired youth suddenly stand up

"Your Majesty, the adventurer has a confidential matter to see the manager of the caravan" a guard walked to the black-haired youth and whispered.
