The latest website: "Sun City, Salt Lake City, Alpine City... three royal legions, 24,000 warriors... sitting in the three southern states, nominally deterring the disloyal Mystec tribes..."

A map of the Talsas River was spread out on the desk. Shulot pursed his lips and stared at the three royal legions, which could go south at any time and cut off the key position of the long river. He was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at Eckart and asked seriously.

"Eckart, where are the Royal Legion of the Alliance stationed now? I want the latest news!"

"Patriarch, there are more than 50,000 direct warriors in the alliance. Among them, there are six standing warrior regiments with 8,000 soldiers, one of which is a bronze armor regiment and the other is a longbow regiment. A noble warrior regiment with more than 2,000 people The regiment is composed of glorious jaguar and eagle fighters. A 4,000-man cut-off guard is composed of elites from various city-states and surrendered troops. The new formation is only two years old. The last one is 4,000 people The temple legion is mainly composed of the most elite elder guards and temple guards, and is commanded by the priest of the war god..."

The head of the guard, Eckart, looked solemn. He took out nine jade talismans, regarded them as nine royal legions, and placed them on the map of the alliance in order.

"After the New Year's Ceremony, three royal legions went south, including the Bronze Armor and Longbow Legion, and stationed in the three southern states. One royal legion went west, sitting in Aurwood City in the west, and also controlling the upper channel of the Leman River. One royal family The legion went north, suppressed Xiajin City, supervised the division and migration of the Xiajin family, and 'persuaded' the last stubborn nobles. There is also a royal army, sitting in Oak City, the land of Tlaxcala in the east, maintaining the alliance to go to the Four Snakes The main roads of the city also ensure the vital food transportation and supplies... In short, one city-state each in the east, north, and west, and three in the south, are the positions where the six standing legions are stationed!"

"As for the noble battle group, the hair-cutting guards, and the temple legion, the most elite veteran warriors of the more than 10,000 alliances are always guarding the capital in the lake. Unless there are special circumstances, or the king personally conquests, they will not Leave the capital."

"Six teams are always prepared to go out to foreign countries, and three elite teams guard the capital. This arrangement..."

The map of the alliance is full of jade talismans, which are the most powerful symbols of force in the world of Central America. After two years of repairs and reforms, it was time for this huge armed force to go out again. And with Avitt's ambition, he will never delay the pace of conquering the world!

"Eckart, the city-state legion of the four northern states of the alliance, have you mobilized?"

"Patriarch! Haven't received such news yet...Since the centralized reform of the **** king, the four-state legion has been disbanded. The Patriarch Xiajin has just died, and the transfer of titles to the nobles of various states is still being vigorously advanced. Not quite done…”

"Witness of the Lord God! So that's how it is... Your first goal right now is still the centralization reform, especially the change and transfer of the great nobles of the three southern states..."

Looking at the map of the world and the layout of the various royal legions, Shulot pondered for a moment, and soon understood Avit's plan. He is a student trained by Avit himself, and he can see very clearly the ambition and plan of his teacher.

"Among the powerful aristocrats in the four northern states, Jinshan City, Suanmu City, and Xiajin City have all changed their city lords and divided the Glory family. And the last reed patriarch Xintel of Weijian City has always been the most obedient , and actively cooperate with the reform of the central government... The centralization of the four northern states has basically been completed! And the three southern states have reached the final time to make drastic moves..."

"The commanders of the legions of the three southern states are all in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and they are also under my command. At this moment, without the nobles and warriors who have the backbone, the three states cannot resist the power of the central royal family. After controlling the three states, the three city-state legions Naturally, I can only bow my head and accept the change obediently..."

Thinking of this, Shulot lowered his eyes, his heart was full of emotion. The three legions went south to the three states, which was actually very ingenious and calculated the hearts of the people!

For the nobles of the Three Kingdoms, the kingdom sacrificed the patriarch of Xiajin, which is one with the alliance. The Kingdom's Eastern Expedition Corps is holding back the three city-state legions at the moment, preventing them from showing any resistance. For the Kingdom of the Lake, these three city-state legions are the dark hands of the alliance. Because once faced with the choice between the kingdom and the alliance, they will inevitably have to vote for the alliance that is stronger, more famous, and controls the three kingdoms.

"If I show some signs...these three main armies can immediately compromise with the nobles of the city-state, recruit the city-state legions, go south to cut off the long river, and even attack east and west along the river!...And if I obediently return to the capital in the lake, the three If you form a royal army, you can become the vanguard of the Southern Expedition to the Mixtecs after the centralization of power and the completion of reforms!…”

"In short, the six royal legions are all suppressing the states. Avit's current priority is still the reform of centralization! And his second goal is, as I once said, to conquer the southern states. Loyal Mixtec!... However, he is also ready to compromise with the local nobles at any time. If I don't go to the capital, then the biggest target of centralization reform, the target of the royal family and the local nobles , it became me!... At this time when my strength is the most scattered and my position is the most dangerous..."

Shulot pondered for a long time, a wry smile appeared on his face, as well as a touch of sadness. He sighed long and whispered to himself.

"Avit, my father-in-law, my teacher... centralization reform, leveling the states, it was my suggestion to you at the beginning, and it was also the plan of your grandfather and you! You ask me if I support it? Of course I support it... After all, centralization The power of the alliance, this is also my political pursuit!"

"But the current arrangement, the three southern states and the four legions of Oak City... you can't believe it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com My promise to you? Are you so afraid of me, afraid that I will withdraw to the kingdom along the long river? ...But how could I do that? At this critical moment when the great cause is not yet accomplished and the situation is about to change!..."

"Sure enough, power will change everything... In the confrontation of power, there are only thorough checks and balances, and there are only plans for a rainy day... Whether you believe me or not, you will block all my other choices, and only leave this one for me to arrange the way..."

"As for your plan, you probably have already thought about it since you asked me to take over the Eastern Expedition and besiege the two snake cities...but then separated the military power of the Oak City in Weisuochenkobang separately! ..."

Thinking of the last farewell to Avette two years ago, Shulot closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before suddenly opening them. At this moment, in his deep eyes, there was no hesitation, no sadness, no unwillingness, only decisive courage!

"My teacher, thank you for teaching me the last lesson, about the struggle of power... Then, let us meet in the capital! I will still be your best student, and you will always need me , the Lord God witnesses!..."
