The Titan Empire: The Game of Power

Volume 1, Chapter 10

It was all dark by the time Oscar took his leave of His Majesty the Emperor, and the night fog enveloped Turin completely, the stars and lights casting a veil of mystery over the metropolis. Alpha III was very talkative, and it seemed as if he had no end of words for his young nephew. Oscar also grew accustomed to his new status during his free-flowing conversation with the Emperor.

Oscar's thoughts were a bit chaotic right now, the emperor talked to him about a lot of things, his mother, his father, and some of the things that happened when he was a child, and in the end, he even talked about state affairs, although Oscar's views on some things were still very naive, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was still very satisfied with him. Especially! Oscar noticed that especially when he was talking about his father, the Emperor was obviously listening very attentively.

The Emperor was indeed pleased with the boy! He secretly hated himself for not noticing the boy sooner. He had discovered many good things about the teenager in his conversations with his nephew; the teenager was sensitive, calm, and even had his own unique views on poignant issues. Among the teenagers that Alpha III had seen, this child was undoubtedly the best, and his future was limitless. Thinking about this, his majesty wondered whether he had done the right thing or the wrong thing in granting him such a prestigious position.

However, the emperor immediately thought of the child's other status, he was his own nephew and at the same time the fourth son of the Anru family! The emperor was able to make him the heir of the princess, so why not make him the rightful heir of the Anru family! The Emperor was startled by this sudden thought of his!

Yes! Letting a member of the royal family with the title of Prince take control of the Anru family. Wouldn't that be like turning Anru into a branch of the Imperial family? I can't do that! We need to think this over! This is an important matter! The Emperor admonished himself in his mind. In his conversation with the teenager he had found out one very important thing, and that was that the boy didn't have very strong feelings for his father or the family he belonged to, he had left home when he was five years old, and then he had been imprisoned by himself in Domolga! And his father had practically ignored him during the ten years of his incarceration, and the request which the youth had made to himself truly reflected his psychology, Osné . Anru. Morissette's heart was more inclined to royalty.

But why should the Duke do this to his young son? The Emperor got the answer he wanted at once. He guessed that it was largely because of the fact that Osgne. Anru. Morissette was a member of the royal family, and the Duke might not have been willing to accept such a son at all. Since he could think of using this teenager to control Anru, he feared that the duke was watching out for this day as soon as this child was born. That's right! How shrewd the duke was, no father could endure his son being sentenced to life imprisonment, now that I think about it the duke's resistance back then was nothing more than a show, the marshal was simply trying to exclude his youngest son from the heir forever. Why hadn't he thought of this himself in the first place? He had almost done the Duke a great favor!

Alpha III was a bit fluttery, he thought he was a genius! He seemed to have solved the puzzle that had been hanging over the Titan royal family for over four hundred years. Osnee. Anru. Morissette to become the Prince of the Empire was just some honorary compensation that he had given to him, but now it was different! It was not too late, absolutely not! By using every means possible to make this young man with deep feelings for the royal family the rightful heir of the House of Anru, then in the future, or rather several generations from now, the House of Anru would slowly deteriorate in terms of bloodline and thinking! At that time, the Buffy Knights might have become the private guard of the royal family!

Alpha III was sure, his long-term plan seemed flawless, and he decided that he must support Osnee in his lifetime. Anru. Morissette, even if he couldn't master the House of Anru, because his ducal father would never agree to it, then let him divide a part of the family that was loyal to him, so that the royal family would have nailed a nail in the House of Anru forever. Such an Anru family wouldn't be able to do much.

The Emperor was too immersed in his own centuries-old plans, and controlling or dividing the Anru family from the inside was far better than the once self-professedly clever Emperor's approach of eroding the competition from the outside. Alpha III felt that he would become one of the most famous emperors of the Morrissette dynasty, and that his wisdom would be celebrated for all time by his children and grandchildren.

The emperor's thinking was reasonable, but it was only his wishful thinking! Looking at history, it was easy to see that there had been five, if not three, Morrissette princesses who had married into the House of Anru, and almost every monarch of the Morrissette Dynasty had entertained the same thoughts that His Majesty the Third was now spinning, but they had all failed! The reason was that they simply did not understand the Anru family.

Only one Titan Emperor's strategy has proven successful by history, but while he limited the House of Anru, he also directly contributed to his power and growth. Of course, there were things in the world that people simply could not expect in advance!

The nomads evolved from the Bohemians who believed in the true gods, and their rulers utilized the fervent beliefs of their people to form a powerful religious state. This nation was extremely aggressive, and as they attacked westward they encountered the Titans, who also had an extraordinary passion for religion. With different peoples, cultures that could not be shared, and even more irreconcilable differences in religious beliefs, such two nations were thrown into a frenzy as soon as they engaged in battle. The result is known to all, the Borsis Empire, which initially had the absolute advantage, was defeated after the appearance of the Knights of Narcissus, and eventually they were expelled from Titan.

The iron hooves of the Borsis cavalry had once painfully ravaged the lands of their enemies, and to be defeated by the once weak pagan believers was something that the Borsis powers that be absolutely could not accept, and their national pride and fervent religious beliefs were both hurt. They kept on attacking as they sought to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors back then. But their natural enemies were just as persistent, yet more tenacious, and the Anru did not allow the Possis to push one step forward from their borders.

The war slowly deteriorated over time! Countless bloodshed brought about bitter hatred, and hundreds of years of fighting then piled up millions of unjust souls. The Bosnians have gradually forgotten their religion, ethnicity, etc. etc., and now they can't let go of just hatred, which drives the Bosnians to continue attacking, and the attacks continue to be hit hard by the natural enemy, Anru, and the injuries deepen, and the hatred becomes even more bitter. Time passes, hatred continues, killing in a cycle.

The Founding Emperor's goal was achieved. Anru had no time to spare, and he faced the rotating attacks of half of the Porcius military force with one family, as he had for centuries. Through these centuries of blood and fire, the Anru family had developed into a powerful and pure fighting group, and members of the Anru family were born to command thousands of troops! It was as if they were born with a military rank.

The young men of the Anru family only like to use their energy on their troops and defenses. Politics in their eyes was something that only family heads and patriarchs would play with. They were soldiers, and they were instinctively averse to politics.

Many of the ancestors of the Anru family had led their armies into the territory of Porcius, but they did not receive any support from the empire, and those in the top echelons of the empire were accustomed to living in peace and quiet. They used the so-called "political factors" to suppress the Anru, not even allowing them to take the initiative to attack. These adults deeply understood that the deep meaning of politics was balance, if Anru lost the war, Borsis would surely destroy them, but once Borsis was overly weakened, then Anru would surely deal with them with their hands free. Only by keeping the balance would they be able to live a few more days of peace in the capital, which was very far away from the front line.

The historical House of Anru aroused the extreme fear of the then reigning Emperor of the Titans during their sixth expansion, and this Majesty felt that the House of Anru must not be allowed to continue to grow. Intermarrying, sowing dissension, bribing, bribing, the Emperor realized that there was little to be gained by working from within the Anru, so the only option was to be restrained and combated from the outside. The emperor spent his entire life cultivating another military force in the eastern border, that is, the Netagabo family, the emperor gave the Netagabo family another province immediately adjacent to the territory of the Anru, the Netagabo family adhered to the emperor's will, they continue to cause trouble for the Anru, they continue to drag the Anru family's legs, the Anru, although it is very angry about this, but they still have to face the real enemy.

In this dangerous collision the Netagapo family finally made a serious mistake. In a joint military operation between the two families, the commander of the Netagapo family slowed down the march for the sake of the family's usual policy, knowing that the troops of the Anru family were waiting in front to join them and then both sides would jointly guard a section of the defense line, he just wanted to make those Anru boys suffer some more.

When his troops arrived at the border he was dumbfounded! An entire cavalry division of the Buffy Knights and a division of Buffy warriors had been completely annihilated! From the traces of the battlefield it could be seen that they were surrounded by superior enemy soldiers and gathered and annihilated, and now the enemy was gone, they disappeared into the vast forests of the west.

The Possessives were smart, they bypassed Anru's territory, their hordes appeared in Netagapo's territory, in their eyes, the Netagapo family's army were simply these dolls, they hacked and slashed madly, the desire to kill that had been suppressed by the Buffy Knights for hundreds of years erupted volcano-like, they swept through the province as fast as they could and besieged the Netagapo family's provincial capital. Netagabo had to ask Anru for help, their foundation that they had built up over the years was about to collapse.

The warriors of the House of Anru came, not overly hostile to the House of Netagapo who had done them so much harm, the harshness of war had taught Anru more than anyone else the importance of unity. Their forces blocked off the torn apart lines as they always did, and they shut down and ate this invading band of Borsis cavalry.

After the battle the psyche of the Netagabo family changed drastically, the population of the territory plummeted by 30% in just one month of fighting, those wonderful towns turned into ruins overnight, the family's army was already in name only, they had suffered so many deaths and injuries that those that remained didn't even dare to leave their homes, the people's scorn would drown them out. Netagabo finally realized what kind of enemies Anru was fighting, without Anru, the entire empire would become the same as their family's territory within a month.

House Anru had won badly this time as well. With a large number of Borsis cavalry running around internally, and an enemy regiment of over 200,000 men storming the various fortresses and defenses on the border day and night externally, the Anru family sacrificed as many warriors in a month and a half as they had in the previous ten years combined. Fortunately, winter came early that year, and Borsis finally chose to fight another day after Anru's tenacious blockade and his own enormous consumption.

The commander of House Netagabo, the man who had made it all happen, was sent by the family to Anru, where the Buffy Knight flayed him and threw him into a cask of wine, the culprit ending up dying of living pain. And the head of House Netagapo killed himself shortly afterward, right in front of the Duke of House Anru. This head of the family spoke at the end of his life.

He said, "Don't pay any more attention to that emperor's majesty, if the descendants of the family still want to keep the territory, then they have to honor Anru and integrate into Anru. Without Anru, we simply cannot survive in the Eastern Frontier."

This was the end of what history calls the "Red October Incident". But the impact of the incident was far-reaching. First of all, the attitude of the Anru family towards the Titan royal family changed drastically, the previous loyalty became superficial, instead, Anru revised the first article of the ancestral motto, the long declaration of defending the family was replaced by two simple words, that is, "be careful of your back"! Pithy and concise. Secondly, and most crucially, Anru won the full development.

The Netagabo family had faithfully carried out the last words of their suicidal leader after the "Red October Incident". They secretly swore allegiance to the Anru family, and then they intermarried with the Anru family, "madly"! For the first few generations, the ladies of the Netagabo family did not marry outside of the family, they frantically searched for husbands in Narcissus County, and as long as the man's last name was Anru, they married him, no matter what else they had to do! Have a son for him, and crown that son with Netagapo in his last name.

The two families continued to intermarry for nearly two hundred years, until four years ago today, the Anru and Netagapo families held a grand and solemn wedding for their two young men, which, although neither of the young men nor the young women were very high in their respective families, earned them the nickname of "the wedding of the century" at the time! All the members of the two families attended the wedding, and the two young men were the least related pair within four generations of each other in the genealogy of the two families. With their union! Anru and Netagapo had become one family in essence, and the wedding heralded the official merger of the two great families in the eastern border territory of the Titan Empire. Along with the merger came the territories, armies, power, and wealth of both families.

The Emperor's strategy became the biggest joke in the history of Titan, and it could be said that he indirectly created a more powerful Anru that owned the entire eastern part of the Empire.

In fact, the sons of the Anru family didn't care about these things at all, what they despised the most were those cowards of the Morissette family, at the same time, they kept a high level of vigilance against that emperor who could only play tricks and the politicians under him. But in this clan, whether you have Morissette or Netagapo in your family name, the only duty of an Anru family member on the eastern border of the Empire is to lead the troops that shake the family territory, and most of them have never left the family territory in their lives.

Education from childhood, countless martyrs around the word of example, the family's glorious history of honor, Narcissus people's generations of support, blood into the river of life and death of the killing field, the Anru family's unique spirit of the world is gradually formed in such an environment, this spirit of cohesion of the Anru family members, they are stoic, they are loyal, they are courageous, they are able to fight, they worship the blood and sacrifice.

Historians have described the spirit of the House of Anru as "the catalyst for aggression", and it was, indeed, a catalyst for aggression when Osne... It was indeed true when Othniel Anru. When Osne Anru Morissette successfully defeated the Borsis Empire and caused it to disintegrate, the Knights of Narcissus, accustomed to bloodshed and battle, had no more battles to fight! They occupied a large portion of the former Porcius Empire, and their leader, Osne... Anru. His ambition was rapidly expanding, and the spirit of the family was quietly changing, expanding the space for Anru to survive, and for the head of the family to be able to unite the entire Western Continent, the Buffy Knights cheerfully set out on the road once again, and they have more courageous fighting strength than their arch-enemy, the Porcius Cavalry, and they have more perfected strategies for multi-component group combat than any other country, and the entire Western Continent is subjugated to their military might! The entire Western Continent is subjugated under their military might.

Anru's desire for aggression was even more persistent and intense than that of the former Porcys. To the north, Anru fought to the foot of the icebergs; to the west, Anru fought to the edge of the sea; to the east, Anru didn't stop until he saw the beacons of that vast eastern empire.

These are all afterthoughts, but it is true that no one can truly understand the spiritual world of the Anru family.

At least, in the year 791 of the Bright Calendar of the Titans, no one really knew what the spiritual power of the 200,000-strong army led by the House of Anru was. Therefore, the tricks of Alpha III of the Morrissette Dynasty could not be effective at all, and the "spirit of Anru" assimilated everyone who came into contact with him in a very short period of time. Ossigne. Anwaru. Morissette will soon be able to experience the first signs of this magical power.
