Realm of Power

At five o'clock in the morning, the winter dusk falls

A group of hurried Congolese light cavalry arrived at the Anse Canyon on the outskirts of Nasda. The young officer leading the team showed the sign from the Congolese Military Affairs Department to the canyon post: "I am the herald from the Imperial Capital, here to settle down." Si Canyon has important business and requests an audience with Captain Yvette immediately.”

"Imperial Affairs Department! What's going on? It's only been a month, hasn't it?" Yvette was woken up from her sweet dream in the early morning. He hurriedly put on the official captain-level uniform, and met the envoy who made him very unhappy in the outpost interview room with sleepy eyes. This was not the first time similar to this situation. Although it was a house arrest policy for the Burrows family, the emperor* *Every third department Yue will come for an inspection, which makes Yvette feel very unhappy. When will these gentlemen who only stay in Kyoto to enjoy their happiness transfer themselves back to Kyoto? This time, the special envoy who came will ask this The beautiful captain with special hobbies was surprised for a moment

"Brother! How could it be you!"

Yvette, with long hair shawl, looked at the handsome and upright young officer walking back and forth in the interview room with dull eyes. As the brother of the family heir and one of His Majesty's personal attendants, shouldn't he be following His Majesty at this moment? Why do you have time to come here?

"If it's not me, who else could it be! Is there any secret place? After all, I am also a special envoy of the Imperial Ministry of Affairs!" The young officer glanced at his sister and looked dissatisfied at the two women behind Yvette. The knight took a look, and the young officer knew very well about his sister's unique hobby!

"Okay. Got it, envoy!" Yvette curled her lips in displeasure. Turning to the two female knights behind him, he said, "Niaroli, you two go down first! Don't let anyone else come until there is no order." After the two female knights left, the young officer took it out of his pocket with a focused expression. A large envelope of kraft paper was displayed in front of Yvette. "It's bad news. The Ministry of Military Affairs has ordered that all troops in Putau be withdrawn immediately."

"Withdraw into the country? You mean..."

Yvette looked stunned, her fingers opened the envelope in disbelief, and she glanced over it with pretty eyes. He kept saying excitedly, "Really, I really want to go back to China this time. Let me just say that, when I woke up in the morning, I heard the chirping of the good news bird on the branch. It seems that I finally don't have to live in this little place where birds don't poop. The place is deserted and boring time!"

The young officer raised his hand with a pale face and looked at his sister who was as cheerful as a bird, with a look on his face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Or now in the entire Putau region, except for the Anse Canyon outpost where my sister is located, the troops receiving orders in other areas will not have such happy expressions, because the land of Putau has changed hands, and the cheers belong to the victors. privilege! Just two days ago. The situation on the Putau battlefield changed drastically. The Falcon Army divided into groups and approached the heart of the empire from the land route. The Imperial Eighth Army and the 11th Army of the Punishment on the Putau battlefield fought fiercely with the Falcon Imperial Army in the Toronto River on the way to the aid. The whole army was destroyed,

The Pu Tao battlefield was the focus of this war. Having completely lost control of the Congolese military, the Ministry of Military Affairs had no choice but to give up the routine and withdraw all personnel into the country.

The Falcon Army, which had won the Battle of the Toronto River, was marching into the northern area of ​​​​Putau like mercury leaking from the ground. Along the way, the Congolese garrison retreated completely in disarray. The queues were in a mess like refugees, and even some There were a large number of convoys dragging their families with them. This evacuation was like an earthquake, shocking every Gangfei person in the Putao area.

Not only the army, but also the Gang non-nobles in Putau. Notices demanding retreat were posted in the city's central square. The Gang, who had lived here for several years and enjoyed various privileges, regarded themselves as occupiers and masters. It is not human to ask to give up everything we have in just one day. In fact, it is impossible to keep it.

The defeat of the war brought about the disappearance of the privileges of the entire Congo Empire in the Putao occupied area. Because they were busy with the panic retreat of their respective family related personnel, the person in charge of the garrison in the Nasida area forgot in a hurry that they were still there. The five hundred imperial female knights in the Si Canyon, who were responsible for reorganizing these broken armies on the border, were the ones who had just been promoted to military affairs. Iket, the staff officer of the Ministry, the precarious Imperial Kyoto needs every soldier who can fight. Although the combat capability of the local army is worrying, it is better than nothing. As for these imperial officers in Putao, in order to reduce the defeat of Putao, it is necessary for the empire to Under the influence of Kyoto, all inquiries were conducted at a distance in order to trace the so-called spies.

After a whole night of galloping, Iquet finally arrived at the Anse Canyon post where the Burrows family was imprisoned at dawn. Fortunately, everything was calm as usual. His silly sister really knew nothing about the falcon heading north. The army probably hasn't noticed this yet,

After all, this is not an urban area that needs to be controlled, and it is far away from the main road of transportation lines. Even ordinary patrol forces will not find this remote canyon in a short time.

"Everyone? What about the Burrows family in the canyon?" Yvette rolled up the order book and put it into her loose robe. She raised her face and asked curiously. Although she had been looking forward to it, as a soldier, her consciousness There is still some, and Yvette also doubts that this retreat destiny Is Ling Shu his brother, a fake used to deceive him? This kind of thing is very common between siblings who are similar to "brothers". Yvette has grown up as a boy since she was a child. With her beautiful appearance and carefree personality, He has always been the target of his brother's pranks!

"As for the Burrows family, don't worry about it!" Iket nodded anxiously, with no trace of teasing on his face. In fact, his heart felt like he was on fire right now, "Don't delay! Call immediately." Everyone evacuate, we're running out of time!"

"You mean, the war is over?" Yvette looked at her brother with confused eyes, and her face that was excited just now was covered with a layer of chill.

"No, it's giving up. The empire has lost control of Pu Tao and we are defeated!"

Iket's face was so heavy that she wanted to drip water, and she took a deep breath. He briefly told his sister about the empire's defeat in the Putao region. When he mentioned that it was the Falcon Empire that won the victory, he didn't notice a trace of imperceptible shock flash across his sister's beautiful face. More than half a month ago, the fat man named Falcon was so embarrassed. She predicted "a month, or sooner!" At the time, she just thought it was a joke. For some reason, Yvette subconsciously felt that the empire's defeat was somehow related to this powerful man who looked like the God of War.

"Yvette. What's wrong with you?"

Iket looked at his sister with sharp eyes. The quiet and peaceful air outside made him feel a bad premonition, "No, it's nothing!"

Yvette came out of a daze and lowered her head with a rare reddish face. She felt incredible. How could I think like this? How could that man influence this war that led to the defeat of the empire! What a joke. She ran to the door and said to the two female knights standing guard outside, "Come here, gather everyone within ten minutes! We are going back home soon!"

"Assemble! We are going back to China"

As soon as such news was conveyed, the whole camp immediately became excited. Everyone took action. The women were cleaning their belongings like crazy. Looking at the mess in the direction of the camp and the women dragging a large amount of luggage, Iket suddenly felt as big as a drum.

He saw his silly sister dragging a package that was larger than a normal person and struggling to load it onto the only flatbed carriage in the post! What are you doing? Do these women think they are going back home for vacation? Now it’s time to run for your life! Iket was so angry that she almost lost all her aristocratic demeanor and cursed,

"Yvette, this is during the war, do you understand!" Iket almost ran away and grabbed her sister's hand, which was still trying to stuff the package.

"This is all I have accumulated over the past few years!" Yvette said unyieldingly with tears in her eyes.

"Nonsense!" Iket stared at her sister fiercely and said sternly, "This carriage will be used to carry the food and water that are most useful to us. Marching and fighting require maintaining physical strength. We will not stop until we reach the border. Everyone must throw away everything except their combat equipment! We must pass through as quickly as possible!”

"Throw away everything except combat equipment?"

The female knights immediately stayed there one by one, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the captain Yvette next to the young officer.

"Yes, you heard me right, it's a battle. If you don't pay attention, someone will die. We are in the enemy's battle area now!" Yvette swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty. How should I put it? We are now in enemy-occupied territory, and it will take a long day to return to the country from here. Along the way, we may encounter the rumored cavalry troops of the Falcon Empire at any time. . . . . . . Before she could finish her words, chaos was already happening below, and the package in her hand fell to the ground from her dull fingers, revealing all kinds of gorgeous clothes, souvenirs, and snacks inside. . . . . These delicate beauties just received the order and thought they were returning home. But now it sounds like that is not the case at all.

"What, God! We are in the enemy's war zone." The female knights' faces were pale and they were in a mess.

Yvette looked embarrassed above, not knowing how to deal with such a mess.

"That's enough, you are soldiers!" When the situation was chaotic, a cold, delicate and stern voice unexpectedly stopped the chaotic situation.

"As a soldier, you are naturally likely to encounter such a situation. Moreover, as long as you act quickly, someone may not die! Sir, I don't know if what I said is right!" The speaker was Vice Captain Liya. , the most beautiful woman in the entire knight squadron, Riding on a shiny black war horse, this was the mustang king that Fatty had tamed. His long, beautiful platinum hair hung on his shoulders, and a cross sword with a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle of the hilt was slung around his waist. The horse's Lying on the weapon hook is a silver knight's lance.

Liya threw her luggage bag on the ground with a bang and said coldly, "As long as we act quickly, we can return home safely! Is this what you mean!"

"Yes, as long as we are quick enough!"

Iket's guilty eyes did not dare to look at Liya, but glanced at the beautiful faces of these female knights, feeling increasingly troubled. There were only nineteen people in his guard. Although they were all powerful imperial servants, he had to lead Traversing an area that may be cut off by the enemy with five hundred messy women is a very dangerous move no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, these women are all pretty good-looking, for the brutal Falcon Barbarian Army. These beautiful women are simply beautiful prey that seductively bites and won't let go. As long as they are exposed, they will pounce on them like wolves smelling blood. They have no other choice but to die in battle, or the person in charge of the local garrison. With such an idea, that’s why I forgot it on purpose! But that fat pig actually forgot my baby sister here. She should be locked up in the interrogation room until she dies!

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's set off immediately!"

Hear the young officer's reassurance. The confused female knights threw away their packages and hurriedly climbed onto their horses. Except for weapons and combat preparations, all items were thrown away. An hour later, everything was ready, and the female knights were all fully armored. The weapon configuration is complete and looks similar. The fighting spirit is high. The only carriage is filled with the food and water necessary for the march. Everything is back on track. There is a commotion in the military camp. It also attracted attention inside the canyon, but no one knew what was going on. Some servants of the Burrows family stood far away and looked here.

"Let's go!" Iket raised his hand and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead on the horse, finally it was over. Facing five hundred women in a mess is simply more tiring than fighting a war. Ten minutes was just a verbal order, and it would be great if he could get it done in one hour. In fact, he himself knew that the situation ahead was unclear, and it was a complete gamble, but there was no way. If these fragile female knights did not exert pressure but gave hope If you do, you don't have to encounter the enemy's cavalry, and you will be in internal chaos!

The door of the "Glug" outpost slowly opened, and the outside world began to unfold before everyone's eyes.

"clang!"

The bell representing the time suddenly came from the watchtower overhead. The heavy metal vibration sound echoed in the canyon, like a heavy blow in everyone's heart. Iket's nerves immediately tightened. "What's going on? Didn't you say everyone is here?" He looked angrily at Yvette next to him who was as nervous as him.

"It's an accident, that's not one of ours!" Yvette answered innocently, because it was just a formality. The clock on the watchtower is usually taken care of by the two servants of the Burrows family in the canyon. I think they I didn't know what was going on in the camp below, so I kept watch on the watchtower very responsibly. They just told the time! And it only knocks once

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The rapid bell rang again, as if mocking Yvette's statement of only knocking once, and it became more and more urgent,

"What is that!" There was a horrified shout from the female knight,

I saw on the distant horizon, a group of mail cavalry with bows bent in an arc. These cavalry were wearing black armor, wearing pointed round hats, carrying powerful compound bows, and standing on their waists. The crescent-shaped curved sword has a strange feeling.

The ground was shaking violently, and the black-armored cavalry raised smoke and dust all over the sky, as if a storm had set off on the earth, shaking everyone's hearts. The terrifying pressure brought by the rushing cavalry legion, accompanied by the terrifying The sound of hooves is like a demon emerging from hell, rushing towards you on the black clouds overwhelmingly!

"It's the Falcon Empire's prairie cavalry group! Quick, everyone go back and close the door!" Iket's face turned completely pale, and he shouted urgently to anyone who was stupid. Such a large-scale cavalry group, in the The northern part of Putao is only found in the Falcon Empire, and judging from the number of visual inspections, the number of the opponent's clusters is at least more than ten thousand. Now I can only pray to the sky that the opponent just passed by accidentally.

But the rapid ringing of bells above his head reminded him of something.

Stop knocking, if we attract the Falcon Empire’s cavalry, everyone will die! But unfortunately, it backfired. The rolling waves brought by the horse's hooves were getting closer and closer like muffled thunder. Even the ground began to tremble. You could clearly see that the small gravel under your feet was vibrating and beating.

Iket was extremely depressed. He could feel everyone's hearts trembling. He didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​fighting. How could he fight against tens of thousands of brutal enemies?

"Get ready for battle! Everyone go up to the wall of the outpost! Likas, you lead your people to guard the east wall, Alxa, your people are responsible for the west wall!" After a brief absence, Iket quickly reacted. After all, it was an experience. An emperor's attendant who had experienced a brutal war, he immediately asked his The subordinates ordered, and then looked at the other female knights who were scared and pale, "I know it is difficult to ask you to fight tens of thousands of enemies, but you must know that in this battle, you must choose, Is it humiliation to death or fighting to death?"

"Fight, let's fight!" The female knights below began to come to their senses. Some bold female knights began to run towards the city wall, while the timid ones were responsible for carrying supplies for guarding the wall. The sound of horse hooves rumbled outside the outpost. suddenly stop at this moment

"Attention, the enemy is about to attack!" Iket shouted from the wall of the outpost, looking down at the cavalry group like black clouds pressing down on the city. The morning sky was gray, and the gray clouds were very low, covering the city. the sun. It was freezing to the bone, and in front of the neat and solemn military formation, a huge golden falcon flag was blowing straight in the wind!

"Well, what's going on?" Iket was a little surprised to see the huge wing-spread array of dense black cavalry suddenly spread out neatly to both sides, and a knight in black armor emerged from the Falcon Empire like a separate black sea. The cavalrymen came slowly from the middle of the column,

The iron hooves clang, the black armor shines with a dark luster,

"How is it possible!, that... that is..."

Iket looked at the rumored golden Falcon flag, his eyes almost bursting out, his mouth wide open, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. Iket, who once served as the attendant of Emperor Gangfei, had no idea about this face. The military flag I had only heard of but never actually seen was too familiar;

That was the military flag of the Falcon Empire Emperor. It was this man who slaughtered just over 150,000 northern border guards in one fell swoop! Destroyed the Empire's Northern Fleet, defeated the Gangfei Empire's ambition to advance northward, and made His Majesty the Emperor almost faint from anger!

"Brother, who is that person?"

Next to him, captain Yvette and vice-captain Liya were also looking curiously at the black knight below, with a black eagle-wing helmet, a night-black exquisite armor breastplate, and a white thorn flower shape on the chest. The shoulders are full of sharp edges and corners,

He couldn't see his face clearly, but he stood there with a strong murderous aura all over his body.

For everyone, that feeling is like a demon god, overlooking all the living beings below. The faint pressure is enough to make anyone feel the urge to worship from the heart.

"If I'm not wrong, he should be the emperor of the Falcon Empire, a man who calls himself the Vekia Falcon!"

Iket gritted his teeth, stared at the black knight who seemed to have the power to be worshiped by everyone, and said slowly and solemnly.
