Realm of Power

In early September, the weather becomes cold, and the last breath of summer completely disappears.

The earth is white in autumn, and a huge white carpet is spread out under the hooves of the fat man. The early winter cold wave rolls in with the cold air from the north. A closed fortress appears in the distance, and the figure of the black cavalry appears in front of it. In the eyes of everyone, there was a cheer as they squatted up and down in the fortress His Majesty the Emperor's personal visit to the Eastern Front was like a shot of stimulant for the Third Banner Regiment of the Imperial Central Army that had defeated Helena Fortress and surrounded Nulon. The morale of the whole army was high and they were waiting for the order to attack. The emperor came with a support force of 27,000 people.

The two flag regiments of the Empire's Central Army and the Emperor's Guards Corps are both units with outstanding combat capabilities. Their well-equipped equipment can definitely be ranked among the top ten in the Empire, not to mention the Imperial Thunder God 150 pulled by two horses side by side. Shimen also arrived with the army, which heralded that the Falcon Empire's attack on Feishan's eastern front would really begin at this moment.

Newlon was the first to feel the pressure. The Empire, which was originally in a siege situation, began to change its tactics. Groups of Empires wearing heavy armor entered the battlefield, with battle flags flying, and the black armor sparkling like the sea, swaying like fire in the wind. The red tassel on the top of his helmet,

The black thunder gods lined up in the distance made Nuremberg Commander Gradat's eyes turn red. He stood at the top of Nurem City and looked at the black army pressing in like a tide in the distance. His palms were all sweaty. , finally figured out what the emperor did to Nulon after he broke through Helena a few days ago. %∴The reason why they were surrounded but not attacked was that the opponent was too cunning and actually wanted to use Nulon as bait to lure out Fei Shan's last troops. This was because the base camp knew its intentions, but they could only do their best. Put Fei Shan's last remaining fighting force here.

Just as the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs said, Nulon is already a barrier to the east of Feishan, and it is currently the only place east of Feishan that can be defended, once Nulon is lost. The emperor entered the hinterland of the kingdom from Nulon, and the danger of the kingdom's overthrow was right in front of him.

Thinking that the life and death of the entire kingdom rested on Nulon and on his own shoulders, Gladat could only secretly pray that Duke Pastanon, who was the reinforcement, could move faster.

Moreover, he had a very bad premonition that the time limit for the Emperor to besiege and not attack Nulon was probably coming. With the arrival of such large-scale reinforcements and the arrival of a large number of thunder gods, the Emperor's true combat power had almost been restored. I probably don’t have the heart to continue spending time with myself here.

Tomorrow should be the time to attack Nulon. According to the current defense of Nulon, can it be blocked? Gladat also plays drums at heart

The Falcon Emperor is known as the number one in the mainland in terms of attack power. Under the God of Thunder, both jade and stone were destroyed. I heard that the Kyoto of the Gauls in the north of Obarro is said to be a city that can never be captured. The Falcon Emperor also broke through the defense line and was finally forced to surrender. Choose to surrender. How long can I persist as a small Nulon?

Gladat's guess was correct. In fact, the emperor's attack began before the sky was completely clear. The emperor's military flag was erected high, the generals' enthusiastic troops were neatly organized, and the somewhat tired Third Flag Regiment of the Central Army was temporarily withdrawn, and the attack task was handed over to the Fourth Flag Regiment of the Central Army, which had been recuperating for a long time. After everything was ready, the Imperial Thor began to slowly raise the muzzle, and the huge sound of "Boom!" began to shake the morning in Newlon. The huge fires spurted out by the thunder gods caused the dry early winter grass and broken sand and gravel on the surrounding ground to begin to vibrate and shake violently. The sand and spirit stones in the grass seemed to be dancing, and they were constantly shaken. Jump up, then fall back down. Just like there are many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down again, like boiling water,

In an instant, there was chaos above the city of Nulon, and black smoke rose up one after another, as if scars and cracks were torn apart between the sky and the earth.

Feishan's soldiers instinctively covered their ears, but many of them were shaken by the sound of the explosion like a thunderbolt. Their faces turned pale and they almost fainted on the spot. "Everyone disperse," the officers said. Before he could even shout out, he was overturned by a huge wave of air, and his eardrums were buzzing. No matter who it was, the first reaction was The whole person squatted on the ground, and for a few minutes he couldn't hear anything. The only thing he could see was the black military formation coming out of the fog that filled the air in the early morning. The fog seemed to be under huge and inexplicable pressure. The clusters of red fire shredded into pieces, and the dazzling flames seemed to illuminate the entire vast wilderness, increasingly showing the bright red fierceness of the fire.

"Rumble"

After a series of explosions, new flames kept rising, sending debris and ashes into the sky, making people feel the indestructible and destructive power of flames. The shelling continued for an hour, and the bright light clusters drew beautiful and cruel arcs representing death in the sky, and a series of muffled thunder swept through the city walls of Nulon.

"Ah!" The screams one after another were mixed with the explosion. Countless bricks, debris, and soldiers were thrown heavily into the air. Many people were directly lifted away by the huge rolling wolf that exploded on the city wall and fell from a height of more than ten meters. The city wall fell heavily, and the miserable sound coming out of his mouth was shocking.

"Bang!" The military flag of the new 17th Corps that had been planted on the top of the city was dropped nearby by a thunderbolt. The wooden flagpole was severely broken into two pieces from the middle. The military flag also circled like butterflies flying in the air. Flying down from the heights of the tower

Gladat was a little frightened, his face was deathly pale, and his whole back was leaning against the battlements made of stones. His face was hurt by all kinds of flying gravel, and his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't stand up straight. , I can only watch all this happen in front of my eyes in extreme pain,

Although I have heard how powerful the Imperial Thunder God is, I finally saw it today. Such terrifying power is almost like the power of a god. The sentry towers on the city wall are strong enough. However, in front of the Imperial Thunder God, these solid stone houses are just like Like children's toy building blocks, they were broken into pieces one after another. There were even cracks in the city wall that collapsed. When the air waves picked up the wind and blew across the ground, a lot of powder fell down. How could this happen? Receive it? Gladat found in his heart frustrated that if the emperor's offensive had been so fierce, let alone holding on until the reinforcements arrived, it would have been a miracle if he could hold on until noon without collapsing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Feishan's reinforcements have passed the Furlong Pass." An imperial black-armored scout flew up to a raised mound behind the black military formation outside Nulon City.

"Thank you!" The fat man put down the observation glass in his hand and nodded to the scout. Sure enough, he came!

The generals behind him all paused for breath in unison. His Majesty the Emperor said that Feishan's reinforcements would bypass Nulon and attack Helena. Unexpectedly, he was right.

The city of Nulon is not in the eyes of the emperor. The reason why he came in person was not only to cheer up the entire army on the Eastern Front, but also mainly because of Helena. At this time, the Falcon Empire set the battlefield in Helena. It is really revealed. It is backed by the eastern provinces and coast, which can be said to be a natural location.

The terrain from Helena to Newlon is even more flat. It has always been a bloody battle ground that is easy to attack but difficult to defend. The geographical location is very critical. It is like a passage throat. It has always been an area that cannot be lost, no matter which kingdom controls it. Here, they are all strategically important nodes.

For more than a hundred years, the Kingdom of Feishan spent countless efforts to build the two defense lines of Nulon and Helena. There were never less than 100,000 troops stationed in it, so they could hold off the Istan people's troops. During this period, they fell three times, all of which were A disaster that is enough to shock the entire Feishan,

Compared with Feishan's heavy troops gathered in the mountainous area of ​​Bavaria, which is convenient for home defense, and compared with the coastal area where the Feishan people wanted to turn over the ground, the emperor finally chose to set the battlefield in Feishan's army. Helena, who had never imagined that the loss she had to bear would be much lighter.

The so-called weight loss refers to places like Helena.

Because Fei Shan responded in a hurry and lacked preparation, the key node of Helena was lost. The advantage that belonged to Fei Shan was now reversed due to the loss of Helena Fortress. On the other hand, the empire had Helena as the center point, with the Eastern Province as its back. and coastlines, armies You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Even if you enter a long-term confrontation, you will not fall behind. The empire can afford it and can wait for the opportunity to charge up for a strike. On the contrary, Fei Shan, in order to fill this gap, has to rush forward in a hurry. The last troops were thrown in,

If Helena cannot be taken back, this gap will be open forever. Fatty believes that Fei Shan knows this very well. If Helena cannot be taken back, rescuing Nulon will only add fuel to the fire, and will only reduce the number of troops. Being devoured by the emperor here,

So Fei Shanjun’s real target should be Helena.

The roads connecting Helena from the hinterland of Feishan are one through the official highway of Newlon, and the other is through the dangerous Furlong Pass, which is not convenient for the army to march. Moreover, the pass is covered with snow all year round, and there are many heavy rains during the year. The mountain has been closed for half a year. Except for some bold smugglers, generally no one will pay attention to this road. Unfortunately, for the merchants of the Falcon Empire, that road is a golden line of huge profits, so the Empire Intelligence Only I know this road

This is also the reason why the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army still adopted encirclement tactics even though it was capable of capturing Nulon. His Majesty Falcon will use Nulon as bait and Helena as a mouthful to swallow Feishan's last strength.

According to intelligence, the Feishan Kingdom has mobilized a private army of about 40,000 nobles and is rushing here. The leading general is the famous Feishan general Pastanon. The Furlong Pass was unsealed in June, snow began to fall in September, and it became difficult to travel due to the snow at the end of October. In other words, the Furlong Pass is still passable. As long as the commander of Feishan Army has a little bit of brains, he will not be able to pass it. Letting go of such an excellent fighter opportunity, bypassing Nulon, and heading straight for Helena is such a tempting idea that any general will not be able to help but try. If he finds that the enemy is still trying to kill Nulon, Then this desire to try will turn into brave decision-making,

The Feishan people really chose Furlong Pass! (To be continued...)
