Realm of Power

In the alluvial plain to the west of Kurma Fort, three large rivers across the northwest of the continent converge into a huge lake. The water light fluctuates, the mountains are reflected, and the clear water and mountains are aligned.

When Caesar Sauron arrived here with hundreds of trusted cavalry, it happened to be evening. He couldn't help but stop his horses by a lake. He looked far away, with the breeze blowing on his face. The men and horses were bathing in the beautiful autumn colors of the nearby mountains and rivers. In the rays of the setting sun,

The edge of the broad lake in front of you is almost invisible, and the sparkling lake surface is shining with intoxicating golden light. Flocks of white waterfowl flapped their wings on the lake, and schools of red fish swam in the clear blue water.

After half a month of brutal fighting, suddenly seeing such a peaceful scene made a professional soldier like Caesar Zoro a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the miles-long military camps in the distance that brought a murderous killing that filled the world, he even had a feeling. I feel like I want to go fishing in the river,

In the vast mist in the distance, a milky white dome of three castles is reflected in the lake. Generally speaking, this fortress is extremely majestic. The three main castles are all built with solid granite strips. The square fortress is hundreds of meters long and wide, and the city walls are more than 20 meters long. It is solid and solid, like three giants standing by the lake. But as the distance gets closer, Caesar Zoro also discovers the anomaly of the Kurma Fort.

"This is miserable enough"

The sight of Fort Kurma made Caesar Zoro grin his teeth. He hadn't noticed it when he was far away just now, but now he realized that the Fort Kurma in front of him was completely unrecognizable. The surface of the fortress was full of craters left by the thunder god's bombardment. There were traces of the city wall, and half of the city wall collapsed. Of the two auxiliary forts next to the main fort, one had a large hole nearly 20 meters wide in its abdomen, while the other even collapsed at the top.

"Is it Lord Caesar Sauron of the Northern Army?" Sensing the approach of a cavalry unit, a group of Guards Cavalry rushed out from the camp stationed by the lake.

"I am Caesar Sauron, and you are..." Caesar Sauron stopped his horse and looked at the approaching Guards Cavalry. The person who asked him was the leader of the cavalry, a Guards officer with two silver stars on his shoulder armor.

"I am Scotil, captain of the third squadron of the Guards. I am here to wait for you, sir." The Guards officer gave a military salute to Caesar Sauron with a respectful expression. He responded with a smile on his face,

The squadron leader in the general army only has one silver star, and only the Guards who accompany His Majesty the Falcon are eligible to wear two. This is because the Guards are an elite collection of troops. When many local officers were transferred to the Guards, their ranks exceeded the level of squadron leaders. Therefore, His Majesty Falcon granted them the original retention period in the Guards. level, but his position is naturally lowered by one level. Just like the squadron leader in front of him, if he were placed in other units, he would be a captain.

"Where is your Majesty?" Caesar Sauron stopped his horse and returned a salute to the guard officer. As the legion commander, he did not need to return a salute, but facing the personal entourage of His Majesty Falcon. It's always good to be cautious

"Your Majesty is meeting with the Commander of the Western Army, Crolissart." The guard officer with two silver stars hesitated for a moment and said with a strange expression.

"Clorissat? Is that guy out of trouble? He must be scolded by His Majesty." Caesar Zoro's face was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at the camp in the distance and thought to himself.

"It's no wonder why this officer has such an expression. The Western Army made many mistakes in this battle. Not only did they lose ground in the battle, but it is said that even Crolisat himself was forced to hide in the mountains by the Doroks. It can be said that it was extremely embarrassing. If Hu Keqili of the Central Army did not rush to the rescue of Palaven in time and supported by His Majesty's secret message, I am afraid that this battle would have been lost. The entire Western Army became history.”

"Your Majesty has given instructions that if you come, you can come in directly without waiting," the Guards officer said with a respectful look.

"Come in now? This is a bit bad, isn't it..." Caesar Zoro smiled and said possibly bad words, but without any delay, he followed the guard officer and walked in. In the center of the camp, generals from other legions were already standing outside the big tent of the military camp.

"Legion Commander" When the generals saw Caesar Sauron, one of the military bosses, coming, they all consciously made way for them.

"Everyone...Long time no see." Caesar Sauron waved to the generals around him. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he walked onto the red carpet leading to the central military tent, which was the key area of ​​​​guard defense. The two teams Guards wearing heavy armor and holding swords were lined up on both sides of the red carpet, their murderous auras enough to frighten anyone with evil intentions.

Even though they are only less than 20 meters apart, the meanings they represent are worlds apart.

Only the legion commander is qualified to walk 10 meters away, and other generals can only wait 20 meters away. This is for the safety of His Majesty Falcon. If everyone can stand outside the tent at will, the timid comments will be heard. This is enough to make His Majesty the Falcon in the tent feel worried, not to mention that he can rush in and assassinate His Majesty with a single step, and all the guards will block anyone who comes to see him 20 meters away.

And when everyone saw Caesar Zoro crossing the 10-meter line and walking straight into His Majesty Falcon's tent, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and whispers of discussion rang out among the generals. Being able to meet His Majesty Falcon directly without waiting is enough to prove that the Northern Army is still the confidant of His Majesty Falcon, and some of the rumors that were unfavorable to the Northern Army in the past will be self-defeating.

"It's amazing, the Northern Army is going to be reused this time," a general from the three northern counties said in a low voice.

"Who says it's not the case? Strictly speaking, in this battle, apart from the Central Army, the Northern Army had the greatest military exploits. Our fleet is just taking advantage of the opportunity." This is from the Imperial Navy Department.

"Isn't there another Western Army? I heard that they fought very bravely," said a discordant voice. The generals were silent. Everyone glanced at this guy who didn't understand the situation. He was a thin but handsome man. The middle-aged general was very energetic. The epaulettes on his armor indicated that he was a general from the newly formed Second Army of the South. Everyone looked at each other again. That means that, sure enough, there are only the Lods from the south, and they still don’t know some of the circumstances of this battle.

"What's wrong? Is it wrong?" The middle-aged general of the Southern Army was full of astonishment. Even according to the military regulations of the Rohde people, although this battle was a failure in the early stage, the victory in the later stage was still remarkable.

Holding back 80,000 enemies with 30,000 exhausted troops is a great victory no matter how you look at it.

But these Falcon Army generals. It seems that this point is completely ignored. They only care about whether they have lost their position and suffered heavy casualties. This may be the terrifying background of the Falcon Army, which is known as the elite of hundreds of battles. Under the influence of the peerless commander, Vecia Falcon, this army has formed a unique concept of victory.

But also, considering the past achievements of the Falcon Army, it seems that it has become a tradition to use less against many.

Looking at the confused expression of the Southern Army general, a general from the three northern counties with a flashing face coughed dryly, "Ahem, the Western Army did fight bravely, but that was originally their defense zone. It was really embarrassing to fight like that." It can't be described as victory. It would be great if His Majesty Falcon doesn't punish..." The general's voice stopped, but the look on his face undoubtedly showed that he was not optimistic about the Western Army.

"That's true"

The expression of the general of the Southern Second Army changed. He was none other than Salton, the adjutant general of the Southern Army. The Princess of Rhod, Yaghelen, was entrusted by the Fat Man to use her dual identities as Falcon Princess and Princess Rhod to rebuild the Southern Second Army, which was mainly composed of Rhod soldiers. However, due to her special status, she was not responsible for actual military affairs, so the Southern Army Adjutant General Salton is undoubtedly the person in charge.

This time, I received an order to lead the Southern Army north to the Palavon Plains. The person responsible for leading the army was Salton. In the eyes of this former famous general, this battle was quite thrilling. The Falcon Army and the Dorok Army plotted against each other. , especially the wisdom and sophistication shown by the old coach Anto of Dorok, even Salton felt inferior to him, but even such a character did not escape the plot of the Falcon in the end.

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

In the military tent where everyone was watching, Caesar Sauron looked at the situation in front of him in confusion.

"Weird, so weird." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Caesar Sauron would never believe what he saw. His Majesty Falcon, who should have a serious face, was sitting on a bench with a relaxed look at this moment. Go up, and Croissant, who thought she would be severely criticized, is sitting opposite the fat man.

The two of them were talking about the autumn hunting with relaxed expressions, and laughed a few times when they were happy. It wasn't until Caesar Zoro walked into the military tent that the fat man turned his head.

"Come, come and sit down." The fat man waved to him and asked him to sit down on a chair next to him.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty," Caesar Zoro responded with some pity, his calf spinning slightly. As a confidant of His Majesty Falcon, he certainly knew that the more smiling his Majesty the Falcon was, the more sinister he would be without compensating anyone. He didn't know His Majesty Falcon is trying to make a bargain, but considering that he revealed his intention to let Crolisat guard the Dorok Mountains in the previous conversation, it seems that Crolisat has already jumped into the trap.

"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it sounds so unfamiliar."

The fat man pulled Caesar Sauron over with enthusiasm and sat down. He said with emotion, "It has been five years in the blink of an eye. I remember when I raised the army in Samor, you two were my right-hand men. I fought against the Kugits in the north and the south in the south." Conquering Dardanelle, how many times he was born and died, We live and die together. Without you, there would be no Samor, let alone the current empire. Sometimes I feel a little sorry for you, like the Southern Army stationed in the southern part of the plump Vekia, but you still guard the bitter cold border on behalf of the empire. "

The fat man stopped his voice, looked at Caesar Sauron, and said with steamy eyes, "Especially your Northern Army, from guarding the northern border to guarding Airey, they never even had a good day. Think about those in the Northern Army who once followed us. As an old brother who fought in the South and the North, I was also ashamed, so I thought about it. The Northern Army is all from Vikia. Now Statunko’s Southern Army has been transferred to the southern part of Salander and the southern part of Navekia. The burden of my life can only be left to you."

"I'm in charge of southern Wikiia"

Caesar Sauron looked at the fat man with bulging eyes. This news was like pie in the sky for him and even the entire Northern Army. If the entire empire was a huge machine, southern Wikiia would be the core of this machine. Hunter By entrusting this place to him, His Majesty Eagle is tantamount to entrusting the lifeline of the empire to him. Such trust has already made Caesar Sauron speechless.

"As for the important northern town of Airei..." The fat man looked thoughtful.

"Let me come, Krolisat." At this time, Caesar Solon heard Krolisat's cheerful voice from the other side. "To be honest, places like southern Vikia and Paraven are really not suitable for rough people like me. Compared with those places, I like to appreciate the majestic mountains."

"So, that's the principle." Caesar Solon blinked his eyes and seemed to have an epiphany (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets,
