Realm of Power

Normandy, Arcachon

In the early morning on the outskirts of the town, the sky was gloomy and dim. A flock of crows flew over the remaining black walls of the town that had been ravaged by fire, and landed on the charred walls. From the direction of the vast fields, the coolness blows away to dispel the scorching heat.

Next to the town that had been burned to ruins, in the morning light that had not yet fully risen, 1,000 Salander Mamunuk cavalry lined up, the red tassel caps on their heads swaying in the wind, and the black The cloak blows in the wind like a cloud;

"Hissing" On the slope opposite the Salander Mamunuk cavalry, the Normandy scouts' horses in black armor were kicking the ground uneasily and screaming twice in a low voice. They were also conceived in the silence. Suppressed by murderous intent,

The whole team of black lines was spreading across the wilderness from behind the cavalry, and scattered into a slightly irregular quadrilateral. The neatly arranged armors and spears were reflected in the faint morning light, and several battle flags were vaguely visible in the morning mist. , Normandy The main force is entering the battlefield. "It seems that he is still being targeted." Old Duke Oder watched quietly from the horse, his eyes were as cold as snow, and there was a frightening chill all over his body, and his red face was completely different. A very old man,

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Even his old body was trembling with excitement because of the upcoming war. Soon, the main force of Salander led by Nilay arrived. There were crowds of people, clouds of armor, and Salander fluttering in the wind. Rand's golden battle flag is overwhelming,

The unique round shields of the Northern Allied Forces soldiers are like a row of round buckles, spread out along the edge of the earth. Several black spears stand at the forefront of the military formation, shining with an awe-inspiring cold light. , the shining silver armor was like an overwhelming silver arc of light, covering the vast square in front of the town, with an oppressive aura, "Who knows what is going on?" Nilai rode from the white war horse. Come up from behind

The beauty was picturesque, with her red gold-threaded cloak fluttering in the wind. Her appearance caused the whispering Lords of Salander to stop talking and make way for him. After this Normandy landing code-named Revenge, plus the North With the return of the leader of the old school, Oder, Nilai's status in the hearts of the northern nobles of Salander has been raised to a very high level, with a vague appearance that intimidates everyone." We found the enemy's scouts here in the early morning, and then this is what we saw …

"Euder turned around calmly and said, "It seems that we are being targeted by the Normans, otherwise they would not have set up formations here to wait for us in advance." "Can we tell if they are the main force?"

Nilai stopped her horse and glanced at the Normandy army formation in front of her with some solemnity. The opponent's prepared posture made her pair of beautiful eyebrows frown slightly. The terrain here was obviously unfavorable to the coalition forces.

The Normans, who arrived in advance, had already seized the powerful terrain nearby. A slope not far from the center line where the two armies met was the commanding heights of the entire battlefield. Whoever controlled it could watch the entire battle and wait for opportunities. "It's moving, looming as a threat to the coalition's flanks," it should be, Otherwise, there would not be such a scale. "Oder raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed at it, and said, "The day I have been looking forward to has finally come. I am tired of running around. I can just kill someone. If it was a year ago , I may choose to escape, but now... we are enough to defeat them."

"It's really ridiculous that as the vanguard of the army, you can just watch the enemy seize advantageous terrain and put the army into a disadvantageous situation. Now you still have the leisure to say such things. Don't you know what it is to be ashamed?" A cold voice came, " This bastard..."

Duke Oude's face changed slightly and he looked angrily towards the direction of the sound. From the direction of the coalition's left wing formation, several coalition generals came over surrounded by a middle-aged nobleman with a somewhat sinister look. This middle-aged nobleman Wearing gold The pauldron with the lion's emblem and a long black cloak were dragged from the war horse to the ground like a battle flag. The horse's hooves kicked up the dust on the ground. It looked majestic and extremely arrogant, but those eyes were full of aura. Uncomfortably sharp,

With his appearance, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much heavier. He was Enwit, known as the leader of the faction. He was a typical radical among the coalition forces. Originally, the coalition forces had not planned to advance to the hinterland immediately, but it was he who proposed that they should advance to the hinterland of Normandy. Push forward to rescue the many Salanders,

In fact, everyone knows that this guy has been coveting the wealth of the big cities in the hinterland of Normandy for a long time. Otherwise, the first thing he did after landing was not to even hold a meeting of the coalition forces, but to lead his troops to All the villages near the port were plundered. In the previous revenge against the Normans, his and the Russian and German troops were the most ferocious in sweeping away the Normans. It's just that one kills all the people, while the other takes away all the property, and sometimes even changes the assigned targets without authorization, just to attack a more wealthy target. "Enwit, what do you mean? "What does it mean?" Oder stared at him angrily and asked, "I only have a thousand Mamunuks, but the other party has tens of thousands. Do you want me to fight the entire Normandy alone?" The main force?" "Isn't bravery the tradition of Mamunuk warriors? Even if there is only one person, you must dare to attack a thousand people. This is the real Mamunuk." Enwit smiled with disdain. He said, "The purpose of marching with such great fanfare is to attract the main force of the Normans. But now that the main force of the Normans has arrived, we are unable to do so because of the scouting forward." He had neglected his duties and was in an extremely unfavorable situation. Who should bear such responsibility? "Okay, let's argue, everything will be discussed after the war." At the critical moment, Nilai stepped forward to stop the argument between the two and ordered the coalition forces to be on the spot. The formation was set up in front of the ruins of the town of Arcachon, and this place was used as the backing for the Northern Allied Forces to rely on. This staggered battle unfolded in this state.

At seven o'clock in the morning on February 2, Year 3 of the Falcon Empire, in Alkave, less than 40 kilometers away from Ilrou, an important town in the east of Normandy, the 24,000 main force of Normandy and Salan were marching towards the hinterland of Normandy. The northern German coalition forces encountered each other unexpectedly. Neither of the two sides expected that the total scale of this confrontation did not even reach 50,000 people, but it opened up a magnificent and passionate era.

"go ahead"

At 8:30, the two sides who had completed their formation did not hesitate much. They ordered the central military formation to advance neatly at almost the same time. The gun array advanced smoothly and orderly. The cold light bursting out of the gun group gave people a sense of mass like mountains. Under great pressure, when approaching the center line, the two armies began to accelerate and "throw"

The first thing to break out was the traditional spear-throwing phalanx of the Salander light infantry. Following the shrill screams of the infantry captain, rows of short javelins with cold light were thrown from the hands of these Salander light infantry to the opposite side. In the sky, the dense light spots instantly covered the color of the sky, "vertical shield"

The heavy infantrymen in the front row of Normandy, with terrifyingly calm faces, neatly raised the heavy square shields in their hands, covering their bodies behind the shields, forming a huge tortoise shell at the front of the military formation.

This was not the first time they had fought against the Salanders. Back on Salander Island, the Nord heavy infantry had killed the Salanders until they were bloody. They had long been used to fighting the Salanders. If you know the palm of your hand, although the salander's spear looks very fierce, the damage it can cause is very limited. For light infantry, the spear will be a fatal blow, but for the heavy infantry with heavy armor and wide shield, Throwing a gun is a big joke,

Sure enough, as the light spots in the sky fell rapidly, the advancing speed of the heavy infantry phalanx was not affected at all. Instead, it was still like a huge iron anchor, slamming into the central array of Salander. Bang bang, the soldiers from both sides almost moved at the same time. The metal collided fiercely, like waves crashing on the rocks, and the splashes of several soldiers were splashed out. Blood, the strength of the Normandy heavy infantry was immediately revealed. "Creak" The long spear of the Salander soldier was fired on the heavy armor of the Normandy heavy infantry, bringing up a stream of red sparks and a cold light flashing. The weapon in the hands of the tall Normandy heavy infantry The giant practice ball was swung violently, and a quick and dazzling cold light flashed through the air.

"Touch" the bodies of the entire row of Salander soldiers were like hit balls. The whole body was knocked over. The armor sewn with iron sheets on their bodies was suddenly torn apart by the huge cold light. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Falling like raindrops from high places,

"Advance, kill." The impact of the Normandy heavy infantry made the coalition infantry formations become a mess. The formations of the first wave of confrontation were like a dug-out river bank, with a huge hole torn open.

"Peng" The first wave of attacks has not yet ended, and the second wave of attacks stacked up with the soldiers in front.

The thick crowd gave no chance for any breakthrough tactics to be used. The two sides in the fierce battle hit each other with shields, their blood-red eyes only a few centimeters away, like goring a bull, trying to overthrow the other's body, "Forward, Forward" figure The tall Normandy heavy infantry were like a solid iron plow. They kept waving the large iron chains in their hands, knocking the charging Salanders to the ground. Their violent image made the soldiers of the Northern Alliance terrified. , it seems that the tragic scene of that day has appeared again,

"That bastard Enwit, he is obviously cowardly."

The old Duke of Russia and Germany, who was in charge of the central army, looked at the chaotic left wing and cursed angrily. The left wing was where the coalition had the largest number of troops.

Of the 14,000-strong coalition, 7,000 were on the left wing.

However, in just one confrontation, Salander's left wing, holding the cross flag of the Enwit family, was forcibly separated from the center of the array by the Normandy heavy infantry, which numbered less than a thousand people, revealing the weak flank of the central army that was fighting fiercely.

According to convention, Enwit, who is in charge of the left wing, should immediately send a reserve team to plug this gap.

But Envite did not send out the reserve troops, but instead moved the 2,000 most elite Mamunuk knights near the gap to the side of the gap, obviously wanting to avoid the Normandy's advance and planning to escape at any time.

His actions may have put the coalition's central army in an extremely dangerous situation, and the entire army may collapse at any time.
