Realm of Power

Huacheng Island

In the dead of night, there was no one on the street. Only a group of patrols wearing black armor passed by. Since the lease agreement was signed, Huacheng Island has become the base camp of the Falcon Army. There are not many residents on the island, less than 10,000. Five thousand people, but the army and fleet on Huacheng Island at the moment are several times that of the local residents. Especially the arrival of the prairie people has made the taverns on the island very prosperous. In the cold winter, the prairie people have to drink. I'm used to it. Sometimes I get drunk and cause trouble.

But facing rows of murderous Falcon patrols armed with heavy infantry crossbows, after knowing that these are infantry heavy crossbows that can even penetrate knight armor, even the most courageous prairie warriors will choose to be obedient. stood still and accepted the arrest of the patrol team.

Those who drink and cause trouble will at most be punished with a few whips. Prairie people have been accustomed to it since childhood. If they are shot by a heavy crossbow while escaping, it is not as simple as killing two holes with one arrow. The arrows of the Falcon Infantry's heavy crossbow are all Once the Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrow with a blood groove penetrates the body, it will tear open a long and bloody gash, and it is difficult to stop the bleeding. Regarding this, Xi Jinping, who once fought fiercely with the Falcon Army on the northern grasslands, The people in the court still remember it fresh. How many tribal warriors who are famous in the grassland never got up again after one arrow.

In early spring, the weather is already a bit cold, and there is a faint smell of green grass in the air. This place used to be the villa of Prince Raphael. This weak prince planted all the flowers in his villa with roses.

The fat man stretched, stood up from the pile of documents, picked up the hot towel on the plate next to him and wiped his face vigorously to make himself feel more energetic, then picked up the Kuding leaves extorted from Duoze, and fiercely Take a sip. Kuding leaves are a specialty of the Dorok Mountains. It tasted very bitter, which made him frown involuntarily and put the cup back into the saucer. The slight sound alerted Besukaya who was napping on the sofa next to her.

"teacher!"

Besukaya opened her eyes tiredly and wanted to stand up, but the fat man signaled her not to move with a gesture. Just when she was confused, the fat man looked sharply at the window in the corner. "Since you are here, why don't you come in!" Under Besukaya's confused eyes, the window suddenly opened from the outside, and a petite figure jumped in. . He staggered and seemed to have lost his footing. He fell to the ground. The red blood on the ground undoubtedly showed that this person was injured.

"Really, why are you so careless? It's a ten-day period. It seems to be the eleventh day now!" The fat man walked over, squatted down, looked at the blood-stained shoulder, and squatted on the ground. , the little master stabbed secretly with his face turned pale in pain.

"Yes... I'm sorry!" Meron Rowling, the young master of assassination, lowered her head with an ugly expression.

"Forget it, it's your first mission!"

The fat man held Melon Rowling's shaky body with one hand, it was undeniable. The young master's action attire is very strangely sexy. He wears a tight-fitting black hunting suit, a long dagger tied to his thigh, and a long maroon ponytail. His whole body shows a graceful and sexy look. , probably because of practicing some secret technique, the tight leather hunting suit all over the body is like a female leopard full of power. It was full of beautiful curves like a bowstring being stretched to the limit, which made the fat man secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The fat man asked Besukaya to find bandaging gauze and wound medicine. Mellon Rowling seemed to have suffered a very fierce battle, and the blood on her shoulder was still seeping out. The fat man gave up his position to a professional therapist. Besukaya was tightly wrapped with white bands several times. The blood gradually slowed down, but spots of red could still be seen.

"Information, the specifics are all here! The ninth legion of Gangfei has secretly transferred back to Gangfei Kyoto..."

Mellon Rowling, the young master of the secret assassination, had a weak voice and blood seeped out from the corners of her mouth. With difficulty, he took out a small sealed wooden tube with a waterproof red wax seal. The fat man stretched out his hand to pick up the wooden tube. He couldn't help but be stunned. His hands were stained with Melon Rowling's blood. It turned out that it was not red wax, but red wax. It was stained red by blood. The fat man didn't even look at the information. He put it on the table and waved his hand to Besukaya, "Hel her to the bed first, and find the best military doctor immediately!"

"Okay, Your Majesty's promise..." Mellon Rowling was panting and covered in blood, but her voice and will were extremely clear.

"I will abide by it!" The fat man put his hands on her shoulders, picked her up personally, and nodded to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mellon Rowling smiled with a hint of relief and took a breath to make her voice smoother. The light spots in her pupils seemed to be dissipating and she said slowly, "It turns out that I want to It is so difficult to get a piece of information. No wonder my sister specially asked me to treat every member of the Undercover well, because they use their blood and life to work for the organization, but I, I think I am using money to trade and let them have everything. All your efforts are in vain!”

The fat man's face was silent. He only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. Although he was the leader of the assassin, he was still a child after all!

In fact, as long as I say a word, the whole situation can be calmed down. I want to say something, but I can't. The empire's army can be invincible on the front line thanks to excellent intelligence sources, and these are silently sacrificed for the empire. How many people know about it?

After the seriously injured Mellon Rowling was settled, the accompanying military doctor reported after examination that the injury on Mellon Rowling's shoulder was not very serious, but her body had been attacked by a heavy weapon, and two ribs on the right side were broken. A rib almost penetrated her stomach. I don’t know what method Mellon Rowling used to miraculously persist until now. According to the military doctor, maybe Mellon Rowling should not have died. She miraculously survived. Survived.

When the fat man quietly walked into the ward, Mellon Rowling was sleeping quietly. There was no sign of a violent fight on her calm face. Her body was covered with a pure white quilt, but her face was beautiful. , like fine carvings. There is an indescribable strength in her fragility, her face is as white as paper, and her breathing is weak. According to the cautious statement of the military doctor who accompanied him, although her life was not in danger, she was severely injured and would need a long time to recover. If nothing unexpected happened, half a year of rest is the most appropriate time.

The third day. Information sources lurking in Gangfei came from the news. For unknown reasons, six intelligence officers from the Gangfei Military Affairs Department were assassinated by a female assassin in their own mansion. Gangfei Kyoto was shocked, and a city-wide manhunt was launched. The whole Kyoto is in a state of panic.

Day five. Duke Puntau, wearing neat and clean ducal clothes, angrily walked into the command post of the Lisbon Falcon Army. When he saw Lidakus standing leisurely by the window, looking at the sea view outside the window, he asked angrily. "General Lidakus, when will your army be willing to leave Lisbonto? The Confessians are no longer able to take care of us, and it is time for us to regain the principality."

"Your Majesty the Duke, although I understand your current thoughts, I cannot agree to your request!"

Lidakus turned around from the window and glanced at the Duke of Putao who had been anxiously holding a meeting just a few days ago because his subordinates were heartbroken and had to hold a meeting. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The changes are really big.

Duke Putau, who was originally in a state of embarrassment due to the siege, was now wearing a new white military uniform, shiny long riding boots, and the cuffs with golden buttons were specially decorated with Duke Putau's leaf coat of arms. Even the original Her chestnut hair was carefully curled with red permed edges by the servant.

It seems that the Duke of Putao, who had not appeared a few times in the battle, had withdrawn his troops in just a few days. Immediately filled with the sense of glory of the victor, they forgot that the core of support in the Lisbonto area was the falcon army in the city.

This rapid change made Lidakus, a former nobleman, secretly amazed in his heart. He slowly said, "I am an imperial governor, and my duty is to stick to Lisbonto. Until I get new orders from His Majesty the Emperor. I My army and I will not leave the city of Lisbon!"

Duke Putau shook his head with disappointment and said to himself, "Well, what a pity. I originally thought that Lord Lidakus would fully assist me in restoring the country! I will lead my five thousand people in the afternoon The army left Lisbonto first, and those in the areas where the Africans had evacuated had already sent people to request. It can be seen that the myth of invincibility that the Gangfei army has painstakingly established over the past few years has been swept away by the storm. If the principality calls me again, I will march bravely to make all the people of Pudao conquer. Look, their Duke is back with a victorious look!"

The Duke of Putao glanced at the silent Lidakus with a complicated look, and then his voice stopped.

"Please tell His Majesty Falcon that I will remember his help for Pu Tao! We have proven to everyone that as long as we dare to fight, the Confederate Empire is not as scary as it seems. This is what I want to build anew after leaving Lisbon." An excellent opportunity for the principality to gain prestige! I can’t miss it, please understand!”

Lidakus nodded. The allies who had fought together now felt a little stranger. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Duke, I will tell your Majesty!" Watching Duke Putau leave and close the door of the office, Lidakus took a deep breath. He took a breath and came to his desk.

very good! Lidakus picked up the pen and began to report the situation to the fat man.

Sure enough, as His Majesty expected, the Duke of Putao began to make moves. This was what His Majesty Falcon had expected. The alliance between the Empire and Putao was originally based on responding to the pressure from the Gangfei Empire. Now Gangfei has withdrawn its troops. Lisbonto, although only Even though they had retreated less than fifty miles, for Duke Putao, it was still like loosening the noose around his neck. He had lost the powerful external pressure of the Gangfei Empire, and the alliance between Putao and the Falcon Empire. The fragile nature of the interest alliance was immediately revealed.

The Duke of Putao, who has been oppressed and controlled, is eager to restore his authority. He no longer cares whether the withdrawal of the Gangfei people is a trap. Like withered grass that sees a ray of sunshine, if he can still remain calm, That made Fatty feel impressed. In this split, which was similar to betrayal, Fatty's order to Lidakus was to wait and see what happens.

The Principality of Putao is the core target of the war between the two great empires. Fatty is gradually accumulating enough troops to decide the final outcome. In Lisbonto, the original 6,000-strong Falcon Central Army plus reinforcements of 5,000 Xiting shooters, Reaching 10,000 troops, in On Huacheng Island, there are 30,000 people ready to attack. Among them, there are more than 20,000 cavalrymen from Xiting. The total strength of 40,000 troops is like a fist with five fingers clenched. It is strong enough. Smash the Confederate Empire's current army in Pu Tao,

The reason why Fatty did not choose to attack was precisely because Duke Putao's army made him feel very unreliable.

Because of the rush of time, most of Duke Putao's subordinates were mercenaries. He is the kind of person who works hard for money and is also a double agent. This is like a card table between two gamblers. The Gangfei Empire obviously hides a secret card that no one knows about, and the Fatty also hides something unknown. His true military strength. Taking full control of Huacheng Island, the navy completely cut off the outside access to Huacheng Island, and the Gangfei army was cut off from information. However, when the city of Lisbonto was bleeding like a river, they retreated to advance and let go of the encirclement of Lisbonto.

As a result, a strange situation occurred in the Principality of Putao, which was supposed to be the decisive battlefield.

The Congolese army was supposed to be in a strong position. Unexpectedly choosing a defensive layout, the Duke of Putao was eager to seize the territory where the non-humans had retreated, expand his strength, and began to re-establish his prestige in the name of the principality. In a short period of time, he also attracted An army of about ten thousand people emerged, although the equipment was uneven. The personnel are complicated, but Duke Putau doesn't care about this. This is the public army that he has been dreaming about for several years.

In order to raise more weapons and funds, the Duke of Putao once again sold off several offshore islands and some coastal areas in his name to Fatty. Of course, it was a lease situation in name. In terms of time, it is three hundred years,

The Falcon Army that secured the coastal area did not land, but were busy repairing the dilapidated Lisbonto. They seemed to have a soft spot for this semi-ruined city and wanted to completely turn this ruined city into a new city.

All this can't help but make Gang Fei, who is waiting for the Falcon Army's surprise attack on Kyoto, very depressed.

The original plan was to lure the weak Falcon Army out of Lisbonto and then intercept it on its way to assault Kyoto. Through superior force field combat, we will completely defeat this Falcon Army that caused our own troops a lot of suffering in Lisbon.

But who knows, Lisbon asked the Falcon Army to remain completely unmoved. On the contrary, as the Duke of Putau took away all his own troops, Lisbonto has completely fallen into the control area of ​​the Falcon Army.

The source of information from Gangfei's side that had infiltrated Duke Putau's troops was completely cut off.

Gang Feiren couldn't notice that inside the tall city wall of Lisbonto, the troops were secretly being exchanged. The original Falcon Central Army was becoming the cavalry of the West Court. The balance of military strength between the two sides, which was originally relatively balanced, was changing in the decisive battle. The general set of the field has completely tilted towards the Falcon Army. After figuring out Gang Feiren's trump card, the Falcon Army finally started to take action.

Border of Ptau Principality, small fortress of Bliss

White raindrops slipped from the black sky, dripping on the ancient and vicissitudes of the dilapidated city walls, splashing on the hard stone in all directions, like large tracts of crystal clear flowers blooming on the city walls covered with green vines. The green suspension bridge was washed in the rain like an old watercolor.

A group of black figures slowly walked towards the moat controlled by Gang Fei's army in the heavy rain.

"Stop, who is it?"

The shouts of the soldiers guarding Gangfei came from the top of the fortress. The brazier at the city gate was lit by a gate guard with a tired look. In the light of the fire, the black shadow in front seemed to have no intention of stopping. He only stopped in front of the suspended suspension bridge.

"We are the patrol team under Lord Remshat! We encountered heavy rain, and I hope we can go inside to take shelter."

At first, a tall black figure lifted his hood, revealing a young face. He raised his head and responded with a straight Gangfei accent. Only then did the defenders on the city wall see clearly what was on his face. Behind them is a group of cavalry, all covered in waterproof cloaks. They are unusually tall. The war horses were covered with light mail armor. Under the light of the torch, the metal plates on the cavalry mail armor shone with a blue sheen that was not armor. Unfortunately, these knights lowered their heads, and the rainwater flowed on the ground along their cloaks. The ticking sound gives people a cold feeling,

"Lord Remshat's conquest army?"

The guards on the city wall opened their eyes wide. Since the troops outside Lisbonto retreated, the Bliss post near the border with Congo and Africa has become the front line of the war. However, half a month has passed and no movement has been noticed.

"Crash!" A flash of lightning shone on the face of the cavalry below, making it impossible to see their appearance. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the cold gaze, letting the downpour of raindrops hit the armor, which was torn into pieces. A piece of white water splash, and in the silent silence, only the sound of raindrops falling on the ground can be heard.

"Let them come in!" The cold night rain made the guard lose interest in watching. He waved listlessly towards the direction of the sentry tower, and ordered the people over there to pull up the suspension bridge, "cluck" and pull the suspension bridge. The iron lock was slowly lifted, making an unpleasant metal friction sound in front of the cavalry.

"Bang bang" A few minutes later, the cavalry's heavy hoofs slowly stepped onto the suspension bridge.

The queue moved very slowly, but the dozen or so cavalrymen walked for a full seven or eight minutes. There was a burst of laughter from the city tower, obviously laughing at these patrolling cavalry. They must have frozen both men and horses, "Pa" Silver Lightning flashed across the sky, leaving a curved trace,

"Rumble" There was a faint thunderous vibration in the sound of water droplets. Just as the thunder god rolled overhead, a light cavalry standing in front of the crane suddenly pulled out his scimitar, raised it high in the lightning, and slashed it down. , a crisp sound of metal breaking sounded in the rainy night, and the suspension bridge iron was broken from the middle.

"Pa" hung on one end of the suspension bridge, hitting the bridge deck like a broken tail.

"What's going on?" Several non-defenders on the sentry post were completely dumbfounded when they saw the broken rope. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed before his eyes, and then a sound of metal collision came from the city gate below.

The guard accidentally glanced at the city gate, and his whole body suddenly became cold. His hand holding the torch unconsciously loosened, and the torch fell from the city wall to the ground below.

Under the illumination of the torches at the door, cavalrymen in iron armor emerged from the darkness not far away like black ghosts.

The light that flashed before my eyes just now was the reflection of the cavalrymen's armor when the lightning flashed across the sky.

"Shoot!" A row of black cavalrymen in the distance raised their composite bows to the sky.

"Enemy attack!" The guards shouted at the top of the city in an instant, but the sound of the strong bowstrings vibrating below made the shouting guards feel very strange. A dense and terrible black cloud instantly covered the raindrop sky. The metal arrows flashed a chilling light in the air, and then turned into a whistling rain of death! (To be continued.
