Realm of Power

"Be careful and don't mess up." During the roaring explosion, Austin officers hid behind the half-collapsed wall with pale faces while shouting loudly to the messy soldiers around them,

"Boom!" Several Austin soldiers huddled timidly behind a wall. The flashing light from the explosions around them shone on their pale faces. Their shouts were amplified by the increasingly dense explosions. so insignificant

Not far away, a thick black smoke fell like a falling meteor, and rubble flew everywhere. Half of the house that was hit was torn off by the violent explosion, and the soldiers behind were also lifted into the air at the same time, with their bodies covered in blood. , stumps and broken legs, like toys thrown away by naughty Xiao, were scattered and tragically spread over the nearby streets. The streets were dyed red with blood. Even the cold in the north did not have time to remove the heat and pungent smell. The smell of blood solidified

There was chaos everywhere, and the soldiers looking for their own queues were trampled in bloody water, because large areas of houses near the port were bombed and collapsed, and many low-level Austin officers were buried inside. The troops under their command were in chaos. Threads of black smoke were rising, and the North Sea Fleet's attack range had moved from the initial port location to the center of the port where houses were densely packed. If it weren't for the dense housing blocks, countless two-story buildings in the center of the port would have been hit. times

[Shared by netizens] The sound of explosions came from a distance, and the dust on the beams fell. In order to avoid becoming a conspicuous target, Owaru moved the command post to an inconspicuous building about a hundred meters away from the port. Inside the private houses, this place is far away from the range of artillery fire, but you can still feel the feeling of the earth shaking.

"Sir, the opponent's attack was too fierce. Baron Suder who was guarding the port requested to withdraw from the port defense line." An Austin officer covered in dust and mud stumbled into the temporary command post, opened the door, and looked extremely expressionless. said ugly

"Are you kidding me?" Owalu turned around and saw that the eyes of this adjutant, who was previously known for his bravery and fearlessness, were as full of hesitation as his own.

Looking over the shoulders of this shivering subordinate, you can see the port that was almost completely turned upside down.

The fire shot into the sky, and countless meteor-like black smoke dragged down its long tail.

It was simply a hellish scene that could only be seen in dreams. Aowaru took a deep breath of cold air. It was true that he was a warrior, but the attacks he was facing now were completely beyond the scope of what he could understand.

He didn't know what was going on with these explosions that made him dizzy.

But this did not affect his judgment. The main target of these enemies' attacks was the port. Especially after the port fleet was completely annihilated, he had realized that the opponent's purpose was to occupy the port.

This thought made him shudder. He sternly rejected the request of his officers to temporarily withdraw from the port. Instead, he issued an order for each team to defend, saying, "Tell Thord, as a warrior of Austin, that Even if you die, you will never be able to evacuate the port. The supplies piled up on the port are all used by the Duke to win over the Lupine people.

The Duke spent a lot of effort to get it together from thousands of nobles in the main city of Austin. In order to get it together, the Duke almost offended the nobles in the city. I will never allow it. lost in my hands"

After hearing Owaru's order to stick to his guns and looking at his boss with an almost decisive look on his face, the Austin officer gave up and continued speaking and defended with a solemn expression.

"But if we don't withdraw and the enemy lands in large numbers, all the soldiers we deployed at the port will die, and those supplies may not be able to be saved."

"If the other party really lands according to the order, I will go to support it personally." Owaru scolded the officer unceremoniously.

"As soldiers, we are already prepared to die the day we take up arms. Your Excellency, the Duke, treats everyone well, otherwise he would have been crushed by the navy.

Now is the time when the Duke needs assistance the most, and these supplies can bring 7,000 Lubang reinforcements to the Duke. As long as the main city area of ​​Austin, which has the most abundant resources, can be stabilized first, the Duke will definitely be able to rely on the advantages of the main city. , gather more strength to launch a counterattack against the other two forces."

"But" the deputy wanted to continue.

"I know it's very difficult for Sood to hold on, but please tell him to hold on." Owalu's voice stopped, waved to the deputy, and said in a more serious tone.

"Don't forget the purpose of our rebellion. We want to make Austin stronger. We once swore in front of the Big Ben clock tower in the main city of Austin that if the rise of Austin requires us to sacrifice our lives, we will not do it at all. Donate without hesitation,

Now is such a moment. Owalu sighed and said slowly, "These supplies are the future for the Duke, and it is also the future that we must fight for even if we bear the name of rebels. In a sense Said, the garrison at the port can be sacrificed, you can be sacrificed, and I can be sacrificed, but these materials must not be sacrificed. This is the future, do you understand?"

"Is there really no other way?" the officer asked unwillingly, "If this continues, we may not be able to hold on even if we defend to the death."

"Keep on guard until dark." Waoru hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "When it gets dark and the opponent cannot see clearly, the attack will stop, and we can take the opportunity to move these supplies out."

"That's all. I hope God will bless Soder." The officer turned around slightly and disappeared from the gate of the command post. In fact, everyone knew very well.

It is just noon now. Under such a fierce attack, it is a luxury to persist until dark. But as Waoru said, even if all three thousand soldiers are filled in, these supplies Must also be preserved

"The commander of the other side seems to be very ignorant of the rules of port warfare. We met a newbie who doesn't know what a gate is." Urcondo slowly put down the lookout glass in his hand with a sneer on his face and looked from the deck where he was. , a thick black smoke rises straight into the sky. Different from the dense smoke in the port, the place where the thick smoke rises is so lonely.

This is a line of black smoke located on the cliff on the east side of the port. In fact, all the shelling was aimed at this point. Under the fierce artillery fire, the panicked Austinites completely forgot about this east guard tower guarding the entrance to the port. , the existence of this sentry tower prevented Urkando from issuing the order to land the troop carrier. This obstacle was removed so easily, and it even gave Urkando no sense of accomplishment at all.

"Order the troop carriers to prepare." Urcondo waved to the messenger behind him, and the four troop carriers in the fleet began to leave the queue. These troop carriers were twice as large as ordinary warships, and their heavy hulls split open the port. The waves that recoiled from the outside crashed into pieces, and the entire sea surface boiled under the push of this long line.

An assault group composed of four large transport ships rushed out of the turbulent waves. On the left side of the transport ship, four smaller Dragon Tooth Fleet escorted the flanks. The flying waves wet every Falcon on the ship. The soldier's armor, the huge hull, the ferocious angled bow, and the hull covered with baffles on the sides change light and dark on the white sea.

Falcon infantry wearing black armor stood densely on the deck of the transport ship. The dense spears were like a forest pointing to the sky. Their faces were a little pale due to the long voyage, but their faces were full of the imminent danger. Enthusiasm for fighting, the distance to the port is rapidly approaching,

"Everyone squat down and lean against the side of the ship." On the deck of the troop carrier, the infantry captain burst out with a powerful shout. The Falcon soldiers on the deck squatted down skillfully to reduce the fluctuations caused by the collision at the moment of landing. Influence

Discovering the remaining Austinites on the port near the troop carrier, they sparsely fired arrow clusters, but this weak counterattack had already fallen into the sea lightly before it reached the side of the ship, and followed the tide in the rain of arrows that crossed the sky. , 4 troop carriers rushed into the port. A small fishing boat floating in the debris on the water surface of the port was broken into two pieces on the spot. The huge troop carrier rolled over from the front like a giant beast.

"Papa pa pa"

The four troop carriers were like four sharp knives pressing heavily on the docking point of the port. The baffles were lowered, and the Falcon soldiers swarmed down from the side of the ship.

The Austin defenders in the "attack" port rushed out from the ruins inside, and the two black lines collided fiercely. The Falcon soldiers invested this time were the heavy infantry of the Falcon Central Army, and the one who was responsible for the assault was a Heavy siege squadron. The soldiers in this squadron are all veterans from the north. Most of them have experienced more than two siege battles and have rich combat experience. They are equipped with double-layer heavy armor used to deal with Ruidian cavalry.

This is a standard type of heavy armor specially designed for close combat. The double-layer armor is an improved version of heavy infantry heavy armor. Thickened rebars are added to the chest, joints and other parts. In battle, as long as it is not If someone pierces the throat or head, even if the outer layer of heavy armor is pierced, the inner thickened layer can still protect the soldier from fatal injuries.

They are responsible for the most brutal vanguard in the battle. Under the confrontation between the two armies, only the brave will have a chance to survive. Especially at the moment of close combat, the crowds in front and behind will make it impossible for the soldiers to dodge the enemy's attack flexibly. ,

To "kill" the heavily armored Falcon infantry, they often adopt a sword-to-slash strategy. Whoever has thicker armor and sharper weapons is the winner. Therefore, this kind of double-layer armor is comparable to the defensive power of important parts. The double-layered armor of the elite knight, as the two attack lines collided at the same time, pieces of cold light flickered, the sword light flipped, and the shields collided with each other, making a clattering sound.

"Hold up, hold up"

The Austin infantry, most of which were just leather armor, were completely weak in front of the Falcon assault infantry wearing double-layered heavy armor, especially the five-meter-long spears of the Falcon army. A meter-long spear stretched out from the back of the enemy in front, and bright red blood splashed out from between the arrays. The Austin soldiers reached the next area in an instant.

"Advance." The Falcon heavy infantry stabbed out the horizontal spear in their hands with blood-red eyes. With an indomitable momentum, they forcibly pushed the corpses of the Austinites in front of them forward. These are veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. His timing and proficient fighting skills have become perfect,

"Pfft" the sharp weapon penetrated, and blood flew everywhere. The long tip of the sharp five-meter-long spear penetrated the back of the Austin man's body, and then stabbed into the body of an Austin behind him.

"Ah" a whole row of Austin soldiers were shouted unprepared and pushed to the ground. The Stian soldiers, who were only wearing simple leather armor, were like squeezed biscuits. The five-meter gun wall was pushed back, and the Stian soldier who was pierced through the gun let out a shrill scream.

"What's going on?"

While the Austinites were still stunned, there was already a cold light in front of them. The five-meter-long spears of the third echelon were all lowered, falling from the shoulders of the heavy shield soldiers in front, and another row of Austin soldiers were stabbed. fell to the ground,

"Immediately order all archers to support the port"

Owaru, who came to the front line in person, was also shocked by the sight before him. He had never seen such a powerful army. It simply swept through the defense line near the port with a crushing attitude.

From the opponent's aura like a torrent of steel and the extremely luxurious double-layered armor on his body, we can know that these fierce enemies in front of him are definitely not Austinites. If any Austin princes had such a number of elite men, they would have already It is a decisive force in Austin. Even among the forces in the current tripartite structure, there is absolutely no such force.

"Archers and Archers" Countless Austin archers wearing linen clothes and holding elm single-handled bows and arrows were running on the streets. They scrambled to climb up the ruins of houses near the port, squatted down, and drew their bows from a few Drawing the bow and arrow in a panic in all directions

"Crack!" The arrowheads hit the shield of the heavy infantry, making a crisp sound like raindrops. The Falcon Heavy Infantrymen, who were all covered in thick black armor, held up the chilling five-meter strange spear like a wall amid the oncoming arrowheads. The sharp thorn wall pushed forward. This mighty posture scared the Austin archers who had just gathered behind and dispersed.

Because of the shortage of troops in the main city, most of the rebel archers were fishermen along the coast. These archers, who had not even been trained, did not even aim, so they loosened the bow strings in their hands, and each one was powerless. The arrowheads flew into the air in an arc, and were blown crookedly by the wind and fell in the distance, completely unable to cause any harm to the Falcon Army wearing heavy armor.

The situation was collapsing, and Owalu added another squadron of spearmen in his hand.

"Bang bang!" The simple wooden-handled spear hit the armor of the Samorian heavy infantry. The iron spear head brought up a stream of sparks and was directly deflected by the Falcon heavy infantry armor. Austin was heartbroken when he saw it. He did not expect the enemy's attack. The heavy armor was so thick that the Austinites in front of them kept retreating, but they were pushed in front by themselves behind them. For a moment, they could not move forward or retreat. Owaru personally waved his long sword to drive the soldiers forward.

As more and more Austinites entered the battle, the growing resistance finally stopped the moving wall of guns. At this time, on the road trodden by the Falcon Hoplites, right next to Austin Just when people thought they had finally stopped this bloodthirsty beast,

"Bear up the shield!" A sudden shout came from the military formation on the opposite side.

"Pa" The shield hit the shoulder armor of a companion in front. All the heavy infantry neatly pressed their shields on the shoulders of the soldiers in front. This made the Austin soldiers on the opposite side feel a little bad. They had been beaten to the core. All broken

I saw two rows of strange spears that had been standing straight on the opposite side suddenly shrinking back, like poisonous snakes that suddenly stood up. The Austinites were all stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition enveloped their hearts, as if they had sensed Something like that, the Austin soldiers on the front line subconsciously chose to retreat, but the people behind blocked their retreat.

"Pfft" A row of unprepared Austin soldiers were pierced through the chest. The strange spears in front suddenly pierced the chests of the companions in front, and stabbed out at the same time as the two rows of spears that had just been withdrawn. At least 100 people were stabbed. The corpses of many Austinites were hung on the five-meter gun wall, which was shocking to see.

"Push over," the Falcon heavy infantry shouted, shield to shoulder, shoulder to shield, gathering everyone's strength to push forward, "Forward, forward, forward" The Falcon troops continued to move forward with their high morale, and the heavy infantry continued to move forward. The armors made a squeezing sound against each other, and the strong cohesion made the entire military formation crash into each other like a steel monster.

The chaotic Austin soldiers were pushed over three or four rows in succession, and the heavy spearmen who followed behind stabbed the enemies rolling on the ground with their spears.

Ah," the Austin soldiers wailed. The Falcon Army formation was like a bloodthirsty monster. Bright red blood spurted out from their bodies, turning the hard soil under their feet into a blood-red mud. The tragedy ahead These temporarily recruited Austin soldiers were frightened. No one had ever seen so many people die at once, and so much blood dyed their eyes red.

“The port is over”

Owaru looked at the overwhelming enemy advancing all the way, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The morale of the soldiers was collapsing rapidly. These ordinary fishermen were already in disarray before they came into contact with the enemy. Although they had nearly double the number of the enemy, they were like a group of fishermen in the opponent's strong attack line. A hard stone smashed into a basket of eggs, but the yolk turned into blood dripping all over the port.

This was a massacre, a naked massacre from the beginning. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. On one side were the real elites who were armed to the teeth, while on the other hand, not only were the soldiers on our side poorly equipped, but about half of them were temporary. The recruited fishermen usually don’t see much difference, but once they actually arrive on the battlefield, such a gap is enough to have fatal consequences (To be continued)
