Realm of Power

The imperial fleet parked in the uninhabited Bruges Port. A large number of armies disembarked from the transport ships and began to quickly explore around Bruges. Without the Feishan people being completely aware of it, the center of the Falcon Empire The 11,000 men of the Third Banner Regiment of the Army have arrived in Bruges, the Eastern Province, which the Feshan people would never have imagined.

Then the imperial fleet was divided into two, with one part returning along the original route and continuing to transport more troops and supplies from Triland Island as a transit point. The other squadron meandered northward along the Eastern Province. Like a huge curved coastline moving northward, three days later, the fleet entered the northwest waters of the Istan Empire. This "arrow in the back" battle that affected the two empires was talked about by later generations of military scientists. No one paid attention to it. The curtain rises on the Eastern Province!

The nights that are approaching early winter have begun to show signs of white frost. The summer calls in the grass have long since disappeared. In the half-moon night sky, there are only one or two strange sounds of night owls mixed in. The mountain roads at night make people feel a different kind. peaceful.

Dots of starlight pour down from above, everything is enveloped in the soft white light of the moon,

"Pa"

A branch in the mountain made an overwhelmed crackling sound. Heavy marching footsteps came closer and closer. Horse hooves raised mud in the forest, breaking the tranquility of the mountain forest. Mountain birds flew up in panic and flapped. Flying into the air with their wings, below them, groups of black shadows heading west were like a huge snake rolling in the dark night, leaving imprints on the soft and moist ground. These defeats in black armor, without torches, only shine when the moonlight shines through the gaps in the forest. Only then could one see a blurry shadow under the reflected light. There were too many people to count, stretching from the end of the mountain road to an invisible distance.

In the early morning, after crossing the border mountains, a huge plain appeared in front of the Third Flag Regiment of the Imperial Central Army. In the early morning of winter, the land looked like a sheet of white frost. As if the world was frozen at this moment, the central army's light cavalry in imperial uniforms advanced. Like a big net, the horse quickly passed through the weeds as high as the knees,

"Wow!" The entire group of heavy infantrymen holding standard tower shields stepped into the deserted fields in front with determination. Under the wind, the dense spears were like the cold light of the wilderness. Flags were flying all over the sky. As the support supplies arrived in Bruges five days later by the Imperial Navy's transport fleet, the Imperial Central Army's Third Flag Regiment, which had completed its combat readiness exploration, began to move. Its primary goal was to pounce on the enemy with lightning speed. Fort Helena on the Shan border,

"grown ups"

The sound of horse hooves came from the front, and an imperial scout cavalry galloped from a distance.

The war horse was violently reined in in front of an imperial general. Because the speed was too fast, the horse's hooves were raised and it took a few steps back before it stabilized. The scout cavalry reported loudly and respectfully, "Our army encountered a patrol of Fei Shan's army in front."

"How's the situation?"

June Casey, commander of the Third Banner of the Imperial Central Army, withdrew his gaze from a distance. He looked stern and was about thirty-five years old. His stern face exuded a sense of sharpness, and he was wearing the empire's black general armor. Long chestnut hair protruded from the back of the eagle-winged helmet, and his eyes looked at people with a burning feeling. On the chest of the armor, in addition to the white thorn flowers of the Imperial Central Army, there was also a circle of complicated dark patterns and a coiled Dark red gemstone knight's sword emblem. This is the mark of the noble family of Ridian knights.

"There were about a hundred people on the other side, and we killed most of them. But a few still ran away," the scout cavalry said with an embarrassed expression.

"It doesn't matter. At this time, even if the other party reacts, it's already too late! Send the order to the troops in front to start preparations." June Casey waved his hand. In front of his eyes, he could see a sky blue sky in the center of the vast plain. The fortress section stands tall, with the flag of Feishan's army flying from the top of the spire tower.

Behind the fortress is a forest. Sunlight like beams of light casts down from the high clouds, and a milky white mist envelopes the land.

Blowing by the breeze, the light mist slowly dissipated and gradually rose from the ground. Countless falcon flags flying along the horizon reached the front of the fortress like mercury. The attack line of the Empire's central army began to stop, and the wind blew through Overhead, the battle flags flapped unfurled,

The first troops in the attack were all well-equipped heavy infantry, wearing helmets with long red tassels and thick black heavy armor all over their bodies. They were densely arranged among the dense grass, like a surging tide that wanted to submerge those in front. everything,

The first row is of traditional heavy shields and spears, and the second row is of heavy axemen holding two-handed axes, looking at the fortress with murderous eyes. These heavy axemen are all Nords, tall and strong, Wearing heavy armor is like thick walls of steel covering the front.

On the left side of the fortress, the sound of a large number of rumbling horse hooves came like bursts of muffled thunder. Groups of black cavalry, mixed with the neighing of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests, stopped neatly on the flanks of the fortress.

"Hurry, there are enemies, get on the city wall immediately!" On the fortress side, Fei Shan's soldiers were driven into the fortress in a swarm. Most of them didn't understand the situation yet, but they were just called out in panic. They waited until the sky became brighter to finally see Be clear about the situation ahead,

"Asshole, is the opponent really the Istanbul Army?" Fortress Guard Officer Mojavero looked at the sea of ​​black armors below the fortress and swallowed hard. When did the Eastern Province have such sophisticated troops? equipment?

The low neighing of war horses, metal armor and spears flashing in the mist,

What really made him gasp was the cold and murderous aura that this army exuded. Mojavelo was the commander of Helena Castle, which was the center of the border and had been stationed on the border for many years. His vision and knowledge were naturally not comparable to those officers stationed in the rear. He had also seen real bloody battles. A legion of more than 10,000 people suddenly appeared in front of him. The black armor did not look like the old rivals of many years, the Istan people.

The cold, bloody, and mysterious aura of the other party made people extremely uneasy, not to mention that from the beginning to now, the queue of tens of thousands of people on the other side was still as strict as one person, which was enough to make people feel dangerous.

This was a real elite who had fought in hundreds of battles on the battlefield. Mojavelo secretly complained, not knowing what bad luck he had encountered. It was said that the Istan people were now short of troops and had no offensive power at all. So what was appearing in front of him now?

"Come here, send someone to Nurem for help immediately! The Istan people are invading in large numbers!" Mojavelo shouted to the adjutant behind him. Due to insufficient troops, the Feishan Army adopted two lines of defense on the border. The first line was the 5,000 border guards centered on Helena Castle. The second line of defense was based in Nurem, ten miles away from Helena Castle. It was the headquarters of the Feishan Border Guards and had a main force of 17,000 people, the 17th Feishan Border Guard Corps (to be continued)
