Realm of Power

"If it really succeeds, will the empire directly annex Istan Kyoto?"

Compared with worrying about the outcome of this north-south war, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who has completely given up his imperial ambitions, is obviously more concerned about whether the empire still needs to care about the problems in Istanbul after it obtains a convenient troop transportation route. I heard that After his words, the military undersecretary behind him fell silent. The empire's troops were on the battlefield in Istan. Being at an absolute disadvantage, this is what everyone can see, but it is so incomprehensible that the Southern Allied Forces with twice the strength were defeated and defeated. This war was fought in such a weird way, with the advantage, but He didn't get a decent victory and was at a disadvantage, but he made great progress all the way.

Don't say that the second prince can't understand it, even the generals in Kyoto can't understand it.

Although the coalition's attack on Kyoto has stopped, the young generals of Istan Kyoto still stand on the towering walls of Istan Kyoto and look into the distance, with complex eyes looking at the vast land in front of them, patches of Fewo land, dense The forest is bathed in the sun, and the river is sparkling like a silver ribbon. The war unfolding on this land has nothing to do with Istan. This is the tragedy of Istan’s soldiers.

The elites of the Istan Empire all died in Feishan. Countless imperial generals who followed the former Emperor Thoradin I of Istan and fought in the north and south have been annihilated in a battle similar to the great collapse. New The war pattern and vision experienced by the rising generation are completely inferior to those of the original generation. A battle involving tens of thousands of people People's counter-insurgency wars require the best efforts of the new generation of generals in Istanbul to extinguish them. Just when these new generals thought they could be called famous generals, a war involving millions of people came out of thin air. , 700,000 people from the Southern Allied Forces infiltrated Istan and surrounded Istan Kyoto. The Falcon Empire joined the war.

No one is optimistic about the emperor who only has 200,000 people. But it’s so incredible

In the Battle of Lulan, the Falcon Emperor switched from defense to active attack. The 200,000 Emperor cut into Lulan, which everyone thought was a dead place, and suddenly inserted itself into the node between the main force of the Southern Allied Forces and the Southern Army's base camp. This is a situation where enemies are on both sides. The Jedi, whoever jumps in will die, but unfortunately, the emperor did not die, and he also killed 400,000 Southern Allied Forces in one fell swoop. In one fell swoop, they cut off the retreat of the main force of the Southern Allied Forces and forced the Southern Army's base camp to move, reversing the entire situation. This was still the case when the empire only had 200,000 troops. Once this pontoon bridge was really established, more troops from the empire poured in crazily. , that talented and strategic military god emperor wanted to swallow up Istanbul and Kyoto, and it was just a matter of a word.

Although Kyoto seems to be united now, in fact, internal conflicts are already backlogged and about to explode.

Large numbers of refugees are starving. The soldiers did not receive pensions, and the officers also complained about the hardship of life, the business in the market was stagnant, and the people were struggling to make ends meet. The generals were frightened by the unprecedented scale of the two-party war. Varisien of the Falcon Empire had already used terrifying tactics like magic. Let the generals be stunned, feel great pressure, and feel confident that they are putting themselves in the position of the coalition commander. It may not necessarily be better than the current situation, and this is still with the advantage of three times the strength. If it were a one-to-one strength ratio, this war would have been a disastrous defeat. Varisien is a famous general in the mainland. Wrong, but don’t forget that in the sky over the Falcon Empire, there are even more dazzling stars.

Hu Keqili, the first general of the Falcon, Statunko, the fierce bear of the south, and Salon, the one-eyed killing god. . . These storms that really stirred up the turmoil in the continent of Oparo, these real top generals who carried the cold wind and snow from the north and destroyed the huge Gallic Empire in one fell swoop, and defeated the Confederate Empire, have reached a stage that makes it difficult for the new generation of Istan. It's not even close to the level of the sky, let alone the one surrounded by so many bright stars. Fang Yaoyan Yang, the emperor of the Falcon Empire, Dustin, was a presence that made the entire continent tremble. Even those ministers who swore to defend the royal capital in front of him were afraid that they would be frightened in front of the emperor's military might. I didn’t even have the courage to say a word loudly, so I just knelt down to greet him!

The ministers are unreliable, and the generals are not reliable enough. If the pension is no longer available, the army may mutiny. There are also hungry homeless people all over the streets, congested in the streets, just waiting for the early winter snow. Either riots or the streets are full of people. Floating corpse, this is Istan The current situation in Kyoto, although there are heavy troops stationed there, is likely to be a situation where the whole city is in mutiny as soon as they wake up in the morning. The second prince of Istan is already living like a year. In order to climb to the throne of the emperor of Istan, he has endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden and worked hard for so long, and he has not yet He warmed his butt, and suddenly he changed from an emperor to a king, and now he is even more likely to become a prisoner. Even if the second prince of Istan is stubborn, he has already lost his lost spirit at this time, and now he just wants to muddle along. Save Istanbul , this was his last insistence, but in front of the extremely powerful Falcon Emperor, he felt that he was not much stronger than a trembling rabbit. If the other party asked Istanbul to be incorporated into the empire, he would have the courage to say Say the word "no"?

I don't have the guts to say the word "no". It's even possible that the Emperor of the Falcon Empire only needs to frown slightly.

"Stay back first!" The second prince waved his hand towards the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. At this time, he was tired and helpless, but he must persist, for the sake of Istan and for the glory of the Istan royal family, at this moment , an attendant pushed open the door of the room and handed him a letter nervously, "Your Majesty, I just received this!"

The second prince took the letter and just glanced at it. He almost jumped up like a rabbit with its tail on fire. He held the letter tightly and walked back and forth anxiously. What should I do? That person actually came. Bastard, why did he do that? Here it comes!

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" the Undersecretary of Military Affairs, who was about to leave, asked curiously.

"Read it for yourself!" The second prince handed him the letter. The Undersecretary of Military Affairs took the letter carefully, glanced over it, and his face changed drastically. The hand holding the letter felt like holding a piece of red-hot Luotie. It's just as hot to touch. No wonder the second prince was suddenly afraid of becoming like this. The content of the letter was very simple. Single, that is to personally supervise the construction of this pontoon bridge spanning Feishan to Istan. The emperor of the Falcon Empire has arrived in northern Istan. This letter is to invite the second prince to meet. The emperor of the Falcon Empire actually Arriving in northern Istanbul, this is not what it means. The empire's counterattack against the southern coalition is about to begin. Where will it start? Boardwalk? The place where the other party requested to meet is. . . . . . . The Undersecretary of Military Affairs cast his gaze at the end and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but take a breath of air. This emperor is so generous!

Hukoqili's horse's hooves were stepping on a slope in the southern hills of the Istan Empire. Looking at the Istan Empire on a map is another thing than seeing it in person. This is Olua, the southern province of the Istan Empire. The southern part of the province where Porto Truny is located is a semi-plateau. It often turns into an area filled with yellow sand. Even though it is close to the coastline, the sky still looks gray.

On the outskirts of Truny Port, among the towering city walls, temporary barracks made of thatch look like the yellow earth under the grass stems. On the high ground on the left side of the camp, a city wall made of stone blocks forms a circle. . There are many low grass sheds outside the castle. You need to bend down when walking in or out, otherwise you will bump into them, but no one will be hurt. But it’s hard to say whether the shed will collapse.

At this time, bugles were blowing in the direction of the castle, groups of soldiers with simple equipment were forming up, and a small number of cavalry were running. There were tens of thousands of people, densely packed into the vast square in front, with more than a dozen flags embroidered with various regional governors flying. Under the flag are knights wearing various noble armors. All southern Istan has now surrendered to the Southern Alliance, as has the governor of Oluya Province. Since the imperial navy captured Port Truni, the governor of Oluya Province has mobilized the entire province's troops. Pressed on the outer areas of Port Truny in an attempt to retake the port, but attacked Truny twice The operations at the port collapsed due to the Thor bombing of the Imperial Marine Corps. Governor Olua could only order the soldiers to build a temporary camp, hoping to completely trap the Imperial Marine Corps in the port of Truni, but it did not Knowing that tens of thousands of imperial killing gods have landed at Truny Port, they raised their butcher knives in the face of this siege line that seeks death!

"It's a joke. There are only a thousand people. It's good if we don't fight them. They dare to provoke our army! It seems that the beheading of all the captured prisoners last time has not made these guys wake up!" A young nobleman with a red helmet that looked like a huge rooster's comb looked at the thin imperial defense line in the distance with a look of disdain. The imperial guards at Truny Port only had two thousand troops, while the governor's troops besieging the port Then there are thirty thousand, and After the Oluya Regional Army received part of the coalition's weapons, it can be regarded as a war army with ten thousand people in armor. If the huge roar and power of the Imperial Thunder God hadn't frightened the soldiers' courage, the front line of defense would have been broken long ago. Several attacks ,emperor Although the Imperial Guards resisted tenaciously, they suffered a lot of battle losses and were captured. Yesterday, the Ouluya Army beheaded all the dozen Imperial soldiers they captured, and then placed their heads and torsos in a straight line on a wooden board. Let the desert vultures peck

"Ariston, I'll make a bet with you. This time, I will chop off the heads of ten emperors!" Another Istani nobleman beside him said with a sneer, with deep jealousy in his tone. Falcon The emperor's fame is all over the world, but with 30,000 people against 2,000 people, no one thought that they would fail. Even the emperor's resistance was only temporary. In a few days at most, Port Truny would definitely be breached.

For these young nobles from southern Istanbul, being sent by their families to participate in this war is more like attending a fun banquet. They constantly show off who has killed the most and who is the fastest. These are enough to show off. , in the last battle, Ariston from the Aris family killed three emperors alone and got the favor of the Governor. He was highly praised and was called the "Tiger of Olua" by the governor. Naturally, there were many people who were unconvinced. This Istan noble was one of them. If Ariston hadn't possessed an extremely strong fine iron shield, he wouldn't have been able to do so. There would be a chance to break into the Imperial defense line, not to mention killing ten Imperial soldiers and forcing one of the Emperor's squads to abandon the defensive line.

"Ten? I don't know who it was last time. I almost fell off my horse when I heard the sound of Thor's explosion!"

Ariston, a young nobleman wearing a cockscomb helmet, sneered at the corner of his mouth and raised a shield with his iron-gloved hand. Naturally, he would not take this dude seriously. A guy who could even breathe while swinging a sword was talking shamelessly. I'm afraid that one ordinary Imperial soldier is enough, and I want to kill ten of them. What I really need to worry about is the guy from the Thomas family. The shooters from the Thomas family have always been the archery captains of the Oyalu Governor's Mansion. Others need to risk the Imperial crossbow. To charge with a bow, the Thomas shooter only needs to draw the bow string dozens of meters away. In the last battle, Ariston saw that guy shoot an arrow through the chest of an Imperial soldier from more than fifty meters away. Throat, I killed three of them with all my strength. The guy just followed leisurely and picked up three. Compared with swinging a sword, the long-range shooter seemed too shameless. If possible, the person he wanted to kill the most should be this guy

"Salute, the Governor is here!" The voice of the great knight came from the front of the queue. A group of cavalry wearing full iron armor came rolling in smoke. These cavalry were wearing white battle robes, and two cavalry were holding white weapons in their hands. The pole flag, the front end of the pole flag is a series of white pom-poms, fluttering in the wind, giving people a feeling of flying in the wind.

"It's the Templar Cavalry!" The nobles gasped, and their eyes turned red. Who doesn't know how excellent the Templar Cavalry's armor is, and it is said that there is also a Pope's prayer bath. Whether you believe it or not, it is useful, and it is always quite good. something valuable

The Governor of Olua Province was at the front, raising his hands to greet the nobles and soldiers who lined up. The Templar Cavalry behind the Governor even made the young nobles stick out their tongues and lick their chapped lips. The Templar Cavalry is a real cavalry. The whole body of armor flashed in the dust, like hills made of heavy armor. Although there were only thirty people, their combat power was outstanding. Once they started running to help, they would be enough to flatten any object in front of them. Xiao Xiao The imperial defense line is naturally broken.

"You read that right, this time the Southern Allied Forces Base Camp specially sent the Knights Templar for us. We will win this battle." The Governor of Olua Province felt the commotion nearby and said to the nobles with a joyful expression.

"With the Templars here, we will win!" The nobles suddenly became excited when they heard that it was not the Templars, but the higher-level Templars.

"Yes, we must win."

"Long live victory!" Cheers came one after another, the wind blew the military flags, and the cheers spread around, but soon the cheers stopped, and a rumbling low voice began to spread among the cheers. Come, the cheers stopped, the rumbling sound became louder and louder, like a kind of rolling thunder pushing,

What's going on? "The nobles looked at each other, and the governor of Olua also looked surprised.

Everyone's eyes looked forward in unison. Suddenly, a black wave jumped out from the height of the slope where the emperor was. This black line quickly spread to both sides at an alarming speed, extending endlessly. That was The echo of the cavalry group trampling the ground, and under the horses' hooves, something like an eagle suddenly swooped down from the wasteland slope. The smoke and dust that filled the sky covered most of the sight ahead, and the cloak was fluttering in the wind. It was as red as if it were stained with blood, as if a dazzling blood stream was rolling in, until the slightly trembling ground turned into a violent The moment the earth shook and roared, countless black cavalry swept forward from high places,

Someone from the "Imperial Cavalry" finally came to his senses, but his voice was so weak that it had already been drowned out by the rolling sound of horse hooves and could not be distinguished. In just a short minute, the black cavalry with strong momentum had already crashed in fiercely.

'Papa' Before the stabbing, the person was lifted up high and impaled in the air. The melee sword slashed so fiercely that heads and broken limbs flew all over the crowd. The scene was extremely tragic and terrifying. The speed and level of killing completely stunned the Olua regional army.

Why did the emperor become so fierce? Their minds went blank, their sights were filled with leaping and colliding war horses,

Countless long swords and stabbing spears like the scythe of death came like a tornado, rushing into their bodies with great force, crushing their entire chests into pieces. The blood was like red flowers on their bodies. The front exploded. (To be continued...)
