Realm of Power

"Bury these corpses on the spot, and the army will continue to advance." The fat man's sharp eyes, with a bit of surprise, swept over the dozens of corpses that were shot into a pile of hedgehogs, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

He did not expect that he would suddenly encounter the Black Forest rebels in the dense forest fifty miles away from Umutuo, but it was already past midnight, and he did not have much time to think about it. In any case, he had to see the Black Forest rebels before dawn. The camp of the forest rebels,

"Your Majesty, I feel something is wrong!"

Beside him, a middle-aged general with a tough look whispered worriedly, "These Black Forest soldiers are bringing hunting dogs, which proves that it was a complete accident that these people bumped into us, and their target should be another person." There is someone there, and they just fired rockets into the air. It should be that they have discovered some kind of target or a signal for help. Being able to search here from the battlefield is enough to prove that the target they are searching for is very important."

"You mean Yagelins, commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, the Suk people have failed? No way. Although their total strength is not as good as that of the coalition forces, they also have the advantage of geographical location. If they hold on to Umutuo, they should be at least It can also last for more than 5 days." The fat man glanced at him in surprise. This person is Jagelins, the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army who arrived this morning.

"If the Sukes are really as good as your Majesty thinks, relying on the fortified city of Ebony, I'm afraid they will choose to take the initiative!" Yaglinsi said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, don't forget, it's winter now. It is the season when the Black Forest is extremely short of food. w/ww There are very few animals in the forest. Because of the sudden incident, the Su Ke people must not be able to store enough food.

In order to prevent the oasis outside the city that can provide food from becoming a carve-up of the coalition forces, the possibility of the Sukes taking the initiative is very high! The most likely place to fight should be the Biang River defense line at the entrance to the Umutuo Oasis.

The entrance there is narrow and the river is very fast. For the Suk people of Umutuo. It is a natural line of defense, but they forgot that it is the dry season now, and the entire river is useless. If the water depth can be detected in advance, it is not impossible to swim across it on foot! According to the superior strength of the coalition forces. You can easily defeat their obstruction and then directly suppress Umutuo."

"Bion River?" The fat man recited the place name in a low voice with a solemn face. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly asked in a condensed voice, "How far is the Biang River from us now?"

"Less than ten miles!" Yagelins replied with certainty. As the commander of a mobile cavalry unit, Yagelins needed to know in advance. Those places are areas that are conducive to the cavalry's smooth fighting, and those may become difficult areas for the cavalry to maneuver. Once the governor issues an order to enter the Black Forest, he will want his cavalry to be the first to reach Umutuo. For this reason . It is said that he was able to draw a map of the Black Forest area with his eyes closed.

"So, the enemy's camp is very close to us!"

The fat man carefully touched his chin. He was not familiar with the environment of the Black Forest, but Yagelins, who was a member of the Southern Army, had already had a comprehensive understanding of the Black Forest, and had also taken advantage of trade opportunities to personally accompany the caravan across the entire Black Forest area. The first time I received an order from His Majesty the Falcon, requiring a Southern Army general who was familiar with the Black Forest area to cooperate in the march, the Southern Governor Statunko was the first to think of him.

Yaglins's Second Cavalry Flag Regiment is generally a light cavalry flag regiment with about 7,000 people. Because it is the fastest cavalry unit, Yaglins, who received the order, was the first to join Fatty. troops,

With the arrival of the 2nd Cavalry Flag Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Flag Regiment of Reposti, the number of troops that Fatty can personally command has exceeded 15,000. Considering that the Suks can persist for a limited time, Fatty makes people After sending Statunko a two-way battle plan to enter the Black Forest, he led 15,000 people in advance to help the Suc area. Unexpectedly, he encountered this accident on the way.

"If it is as you analyzed, the possibility that the Black Forest rebels have broken through the Biang River is very high!" The fat man stopped, and said with a cautious expression, "And this time, there is another opponent among the Black Forest rebels. If someone who has studied the tactics of the Suc Chassing Cavalry for a long time deliberately sets up an ambush, it is entirely possible for him to annihilate all the Suc Chasseurs who take the initiative in the Biang River."

"What your Majesty is talking about is the culprit who attacked the transport team from behind?" Yaglins asked hesitantly.

"To divert the empire's attention by attacking the transport team, and then use the Sukes to attack and attack Umutuo in one fell swoop, it was really a perfect arrangement." A trace of killing intent flashed in the fat man's eyes,

He also just learned of the unexpected news. Ferandier, a descendant of the prophet who claimed to be the Son of the Sky, was defeated and arrested in the Battle of Umutuo. He unexpectedly escaped from a tightly guarded prison half a month ago. Although the Southern Governor Statunko has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and has issued search warrants throughout southern Salande, and also pasted Ferrandir's face everywhere, nothing has been found.

The son of the sky seemed to have disappeared from the world. Although Statunko once thought that he might have entered the Black Forest, an empty area in the south, considering the complicated situation in the Black Forest, no search was ever launched. The order was just to secretly send people to search in the forest. According to the news, the punk clan, the most powerful in the Black Forest, found a character with a similar identity and behavior, but he was always covered by a black robe, so he was also Not entirely sure

But as soon as he received Fatty's order, Statunko immediately came to the conclusion that it was this person who attacked the transport team, because the news came back from the punk clan's informants that just a few days ago, this mysterious person The men in black robes took 300 warriors from the Punk tribe out, but less than 50 came back, and all of them were injured. That night, the Punk tribe issued an order to march on the entire Suk tribe army. In terms of time, It was estimated that it was the time when the transport team was attacked.

"Actually, why should we speculate here?" The fat man stopped his horse and suddenly shouted to the Guards Cavalry behind him, "Rita Tang. With your tracking skills, which are the best among Kujit, you can find the opponent in this dense forest." What are you looking for? I want to know what these people are looking for!”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as there are traces, there is no possibility of escaping my eyes." As the response sounded, a 30-year-old Guards Cavalry Captain came out of the queue at the back, with a strong look of confidence on his face. He bowed respectfully to the fat man and said, "But this dense forest is quite large, I need a helper for a while!"

"That's not a problem!" Jagelins turned around and rode his horse to the front of the cavalry column behind him. Shouting, "The first and second scout teams come out! Two teams of light cavalry carrying crossbows obeyed the order and came out of the queue neatly.

"From now on, this man's orders are my orders!" Yaglinsi pointed his finger at Rita Tang and shouted, "Does everyone understand?"

"Yes," the scout cavalry responded neatly.

"Thank you!" Ruitangta nodded gratefully to Yagelins and issued an order, "Everyone, follow me."

Hundreds of light armored scout cavalry who heard the order. Like the wind, he separated from the team from both sides of the group, followed closely behind the Guards Cavalry Captain, and dived into the dense forest shrouded in darkness before him.

The armor on their bodies was very thin, and their horses were extremely fast, like a huge fan combing through the forest. The grass reaching up to the horse's belly touched the crotch of the war horse, and the cavalry shield engraved with the red maple leaf heraldry made a rustling sound.

Facing the cold moonlight overhead, a huge search network. Quickly spreading out from the gaps between the forest trees, the moonlight cast an icy halo on the black armor. Some frightened night birds flew into the sky in terror and turned into countless black birds.

No one spoke, only the dense hooves of horses trampled on the fluffy and dry leaves on the surface of the forest, making low and crisp crackling sounds. The night was full of devastation, and there was a heavy atmosphere in the air.

"Stop!" Ruitang Pagoda at the front suddenly stopped his war horse. He got down from it, squatted on the ground and pushed aside the forest grass. Soon he found a series of messy traces in the grass, one of which was more frivolous. The footprints caught his eye. The bloody spots on the ground appeared dark red in the soil.

As a senior Kujit scout, Ruitangta knows very well that the prey being chased is often extremely weak or injured, although the opponent conceals his whereabouts very well and searches as intensively as possible. weeds to cover up traces, but this does not It can escape his sharp and experienced eyes. In the freshness of the forest, the faint smell of blood is difficult to cover up, and Ruitangta's nose is very famous in the entire Xikujit. There are rumors that even if Even from a distance of 2 kilometers, you can sensitively distinguish the scent of a male wolf and a female wolf.

Following the traces of discovery, the scout cavalry began to close the range and closed the large net. A few minutes later, news of the discovery of the target was quickly sent back from the front: "Your Majesty, we found a fainted woman 140 meters ahead."

"I'll go take a look!" The fat man's face was as gloomy as water after hearing the report. He quickly urged his war horse to rush to the location where the scouts reported. In front of a dense weed pile, the scouts formed a circle, and Ruitangta came towards him. After saluting, he carefully pushed aside the weeds used to cover the ground.

Pointing to a figure inside, he said, "That's her. She had already passed out when she found her! There was blood on the ground, but it shouldn't be a fatal injury! It was probably due to over-excitement, fatigue and hunger, so she fainted briefly. "

Ruitangta said with a very professional analysis, not noticing at all that His Majesty the Falcon was cautiously squatting down and using his hands to lift the messy red hair of the woman in the grass. His eagle-like pupils narrowed slightly.

"It's really a Suk Bailing!" Under the moonlight, the woman's beautiful face was reflected in his eyelids. The fat man took a breath of air and his hands trembled slightly. The prediction was confirmed. The Black Forest Allied Forces had broken through the Suk defense line. , and severely damaged the hunting cavalry that the Su Ke tribe is proud of, otherwise Su Ke Bailing would not have been hunted down,

"Come here, take her to the military doctor right away!" The fat man stood up and shouted sternly that although this woman had met him by chance several times, he couldn't just watch her die slowly like this. The scouts quickly took Su Ke to the hospital. Bai Ling carried a war horse,

"Your Majesty, look at this..." Yagelins, the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner, approached carefully and asked. Even a fool can see that this woman has some unclear relationship with His Majesty Falcon. As for what the relationship is. . This is not important, what is important is whether His Majesty Falcon continues to march.

"Tell Reposti. The combat goal has changed. Encircle the Biang River! I will launch an attack before dawn." The fat man took the reins of the war horse from the guard, got on the horse, and said with a stern face.

"Come, let's drink to the capture of Umutuo tomorrow!" In the military camp on the river beach, Punk Pasteur, the leader of the Punk clan, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted excitedly to the clan leaders sitting in front of the roaring bonfire. .

Surrounded by reveling soldiers, the coalition forces suffered 3,000 casualties in a day-to-day battle, but they also completely wiped out the resistance of the Suc people. What is now in front of everyone is a defenseless people. Ebony, like a beautiful woman who is about to be stripped naked. About to face a group of thugs armed to the teeth, the morale of the coalition forces has been greatly boosted. From a certain situation, this war has ended early.

In the camp, countless burning fires lit up the sky, eclipsing the stars in the sky. The entrance to the largest tent in the middle of the camp was filled with red cuckoos symbolizing victory. In the huge tent, the lights were brightly lit and people were noisy, with toasts of "Long live Monsignor Pasteur" mixed in from time to time.

The burning firelight illuminated the red faces of the soldiers of all ethnic groups, and the military band of the Talxi Military Academy was playing a melodious march. Several bass voices with rough voices were singing along to the tune, winning bursts of applause from the officers. Full of fun and fun atmosphere.

"Cheers. For the Black Forest!" The excited and muscular Chief Speas raised his glass and shouted loudly.

"For the Black Forest!" The clan leaders of all clans responded in unison, raising their glasses and drinking down the wine in one gulp, and everyone laughed together.

"Now, Patriarch Pasteur should be able to tell us, is the prophet's treasure really in Umutuo?"

Duane Nukas stood up from his seat and asked in a drunken manner. As soon as he said these words, the patriarchs around him suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the wine glass. Punk Pasteur, the half-empty punk patriarch,

Many of the clan leaders here are here for the rumored treasure of the prophet. When Prophet Ferran was expelled and exiled from the temple, it is said that the place of exile was the Black Forest, and the first generation builder of Umutuo also accompanied the prophet that year. It was built by several exiled tribes. Judging from various relationships, the saying that Umutuo is the burial place of the great Prophet Ferran is not groundless!

"It's absolutely true!" Sensing the attention of everyone, Punk Pasteur showed a smile on his cunning face very promptly, and said very seductively, "Everyone should still remember that a few months ago, the Sky Sect launched a massive attack on Wumutuo. , and call it an incident in the Holy Land. Don’t forget that the Sky Cultists are fanatical believers of the Prophet Ferran, and Umutuo is the final burial place of the Prophet. Earth, that’s what he told me. Aren’t the ancestors of many of you the vassals of the prophet? Everyone should be very clear about how terrifying the power the prophet possessed back then was, and Ferranti, the direct descendant of the prophet Ferran Your Excellency, we are in our military camp right now! Even if we ignore these things, the wealth of Umutuo for hundreds of years is enough for us to survive this winter!"

"Ferrandir is also in our military camp. Is this true?" Duan Nukas's face changed and he continued to ask, "I heard that his arrest notices are posted everywhere. If we take him in, , will it attract the attention of the Falcon Army? After all, with our strength, we still can’t really compete with the empire.”

"There is no chance." A slightly hoarse voice interrupted his speech, giving people an unpleasant feeling, "Although the Falcon is powerful, he is not an omnipresent god after all. As long as we advance fast enough, when we wait When they noticed, they had to admit the fact that it had been completed. Unless the empire went to war with the Black Forest, the possibility was too small. If the empire wanted to go to war, it would have started long ago, and it would still wait until now! In ten days, the eyes of the empire will not come here!"

"Why are you so sure?"

Duane Newcastle's voice stopped, and his eyes shot like lightning at the mysterious man in black robe next to Punk Pasteur. Because he was always covered by a black robe, the patriarchs did not know his identity, they just knew that this was A strategic genius, this time the ambush of the Suk hunter cavalry and the breakthrough of the Biang River defense line in one fell swoop was the arrangement of the man in black robes. Hearing what he said, the tension in the hearts of the clan leaders was reduced a bit.

"Haha, three days ago, a transport team of the empire on the border was attacked. This should be enough to keep them busy for a while!" The man in black robe sneered from the corner of his mouth, and the pride inside was clearly revealed.

"What a bold and effective plan!" After hearing the black-robed man's explanation, the clan chiefs shouted excitedly, "Come on, let us work harder to take down the Ebony Tow tomorrow!" The rapid water of the Biang River slapped Against the warm stones on both sides, the water washed and collided, making a brisk sound of water, which also covered up some abnormal sounds.

The moonlight was pouring down like water. In the darkness, the boundary between light and darkness was in the forest not far from the river beach. As a black line advanced, it was divided into two dark sides. On one side was a dense forest illuminated by the moonlight. The branches swayed in the gentle night breeze, forming a dreamlike tranquil scene. On the other side of the forest, the black shadow was gradually expanding, gradually covering the sight of the moonlight like a black cloud. It was a dense black with a thick and suffocating breath.

Occasionally, a few deep black reflections could be seen. If someone looked from a high place at this moment, they would find a dense forest less than a hundred meters away from the brightly lit camp. It was like an island reef that was gradually submerged by the black tide.

Due to the large number of attacks on the server, the access was abnormal in recent days. The attack is still continuing, but it has been roughly resisted. Please forgive me if the access is slow!
