Realm of Power

In the gray light of the sun, a gray harrier flew under the vast clouds. Its strong and agile wings whined in the oncoming wind. This kind of harrier is very common on the plateau. Like a swift gray shadow piercing the sky, in the eyes of the eagle, the light yellow earth extends to the distant sky like a carpet, and the excited harrier The eagle let out a joyful cry, and quickly swooped in from the sky, gliding at high speed along the height close to the tree canopy. Under its wide-spread wings, there was a huge surging black iron stream in the sky. The falcon let out a shrill cry of fright, and flew away quickly with its animal instinct. It could feel the smell of blood surging below,

The Oluya local army was completely frightened. It’s not that there were only a thousand imperial defenders in Truni Port, so what was this in front of them? The trembling ground and countless black tumbles enveloped them almost without warning. When the front line The soldiers panicked and wanted to raise their spears, and the imperial cavalry lined up The sharp stabbing spears had already crashed into their bodies, and the impact of tens of thousands of imperial cavalry was like a red-hot knife piercing the ice and snow. The huge impact force threw these Olua soldiers away. , before the miserable voice in his mouth could be shouted out, it was drowned out by the roar of horse hooves, "kill! "Twenty thousand imperial cavalry came overwhelmingly with countless spears, crushing over the Olua soldiers. The Olua regional army on the opposite side was dazzled. All they could see were black armors and red helmets, like fire. Across the slope in front, there were countless imperial cavalry rushing in like crazy. Governor Oluya, who looked proud just now, turned pale. The soldiers in front fell in pieces, stained red with blood. On the earth, Oluya staggered around with a makeshift military flag, shouting loudly for the soldiers to push up, but there were many nobles driving their horses back. The army was defeated like a mountain, and it was just a ragtag group of Olu. The runner-up, there are 20,000 imperial elite opponents who are armed to the teeth. Not to mention organized resistance, just looking at the iron stream rushing in like a torrent, I feel that my calves are cramping. "Captain, it looks like the situation is not good. If we don't evacuate immediately, we will also be involved."

The Templars who entered just now may be considered the calmest, even though there are only thirty of them. However, with their strict discipline and murderous spirit, the Templars' unique white robes and neat queues made the defeated army unconsciously bypass them. One of the Templars looked at him with an ugly face and a long white tail on his helmet. The knight captain said, "You are right. Although I don't know why the emperor's cavalry will appear here, I know that we can judge that this is not something we can stop! The only way to stay is to die, and we will retreat!" That Saint The captain of the Temple Knight nodded in agreement. There are at least tens of thousands of Imperial cavalry on the opposite side. Facing such a large cavalry group, a Templar detachment has no strength to compete. On the contrary, it has remained motionless. They will always be scattered by the defeated army. "What about the Governor of Oluya?" The Templar knight who was talking to him looked in the direction of the group of defeated soldiers in front. There were too many soldiers who were scattered. The soldiers in front were scattered. people. Crowded together with the people running in panic behind, including the Governor, who was completely trapped

"I am the governor. Everyone, get out of the way, guards, let me go immediately." The Oluya governor yelled under the impact of the defeated army, but at this time, who could control him? Gu Ge's Le turned his horse and galloped wildly, even if his own people were in front of him, He stepped on them mercilessly, causing the residents to become even more confused. Everyone could see that this was the main force of the emperor's army. Don't run, just wait for death. At this time, no one cares who is the governor and can survive. That's the most important thing, even the governor's guards ran away "Don't worry about him. Do you think he still has a chance to survive? It is most valuable to bring back the news of the Emperor's attack on Truni right now!" When the Templar Captain saw this scene, a hint of contempt appeared on his lips. , this governor is already a dead man in his eyes,

Don't look at these governors of southern Istanbul who look like dogs and hold the title of governor. In fact, in the eyes of the coalition forces, they have never been taken seriously. They are just a lackey of the coalition forces. There are so many lackeys, and one or two will die. What does it matter? The emperor increased his troops in the direction of Port Truny, and the province of Olua Even if it is over, the emperor lost people in Truny Port. According to the emperor's violent habit of repaying blood with blood and tooth for tooth, even if the governor did not die in the rebellion, he would be hunted down by the emperor and beheaded after being captured. Rather than caring about the Governor, the Templar Captain saw more value in bringing this news back.

"What the captain said is that Truni Port is the most important port in central Istan. It is not only a maritime transportation hub, but also a break-in from here, which is enough to cut off the Istan region at once. If the main force of the coalition is still there, it will not be a worry. , but now..."

A Templar Knight paused with a convinced voice and did not continue, but everyone understood that the other Templar Knights also felt a heavy pressure. The reason why they were sent here was to supervise the Olua place. The army captured Port Truny. Although they were only knights of the Order State, they also knew the current situation. , it is quite passive for the coalition forces. The coalition forces have half a million troops and occupy the absolute advantage on the battlefield of Istanbul. However, under the blow of a series of defeats, there is no victory at all. More than 100,000 people died in the battle, and 200,000 people died in the battle. Ten thousand people were trapped and died in Anlusu, and the 300,000 reinforcements from the south were all withdrawn from the base camp.

It is four to five hundred miles from Kyoto, Istanbul, where the main force of the base camp is located, to Truni. Even with all the cavalry, it will never be possible to get back in less than five or six days. The combined strength of the coalition forces in the center now does not even amount to 50,000 people. Yes, many of them are stranded logistics troops from various countries, and they are scattered all over the country. As long as the empire's army moves quickly enough, they can easily penetrate central Istan and completely cut off the logistics lines of hundreds of thousands of southern coalition forces. The empire exist The sudden attack out of Port Truny at this time is like hitting the biggest weakness of the entire coalition. Now we can only pray that the empire's troops invested in Truny are not very strong, at least until the main force of the coalition comes back, it can still hold on. This is the life and death line that determines the entire battle, but the knights know that this hope is too slim. It can be known from the fact that the emperor is an assault-type war cavalry as soon as he takes action. The emperor is very clear about the importance of swiftness in this battle.

In the direction of the Imperial Army, an Imperial scout cavalry was running up the hillside where Hu Keqili was and jumped off his horse. He trotted towards Hukoqili and reported loudly, "Sir, our vanguard has defeated the Oulu army outside the port."

"Tell Salton to execute the attack plan immediately after taking the capital of Oulua Province!" Hukoqili withdrew his gaze from the front, turned around and ordered behind him. It was just a matter of course to defeat the Oulua army surrounded outside the port. Now, It was the beginning of the battle. One hundred thousand imperial troops landed in Truny Port in three batches, with the largest number of transport ships mobilized in the first batch. The largest number of troops arrived. Since it was a breakthrough, it was the final word. Twenty thousand Imperial cavalry and Salton's twenty thousand Imperial infantry accompanied the landing. According to the intelligence, not counting the so-called private troops in various places, the coalition forces in central Istan There are actually only 50,000 troops, and most of them are logistics troops that are not suitable for combat. This is because most of the troops have been transferred away. In a short period of time, even if the gap in military strength can be used to organize part of the battle, the combat power will be quite limited.

After receiving the order, Salton's Army began to march towards the capital of Orulan. Hukoqili led the cavalry across the Orulan Province and quickly rushed towards Mekgar, a large city known as the core of central Istan. , which is the center of gravity of the coalition defense. It is also an important area for the coalition forces in the central region. According to the combat map drawn by the Eastern Governor Hayela, the Mekgar area is called the core of the central region. In addition to being a node for north-south transportation, Mekgar City has been the center of logistics materials since the Istan Empire. The transportation lines and water networks in the central part of the country are gathered here, and the materials from the entire central and southern parts are gathered here.

This time, the logistics line of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops passed through Mekgar, and countless supplies were also stored here.

The ultimate goal of entering from Truni is to capture Merkgar, or at worst cut off Merkgar's road to the north. This is a task that requires a lot of time. The news of the Imperial Army's attack from Truny was soon will spread to the coalition forces. Not all coalition forces are idiots. In fact, the coalition forces The level of generals in the army is still good, but they have not yet found the knack of fighting against the Imperial Army. However, the most basic vision is still there. The Imperial Army landed from Truny and wants to attack the main force of the coalition forces. Naturally, the first target is It’s Mekgar who has hoarded a large amount of supplies.

Hu Keqili led 20,000 imperial cavalry towards Merkgar in a hurry, and the coalition responded very quickly. Since they could not withstand the attack of the imperial army, they immediately transported the supplies stored in Merkgar northward. Wanting to transport all the coalition supplies before the emperor arrived,

In the Sanchakou river outside Mekgar, the water waves rolled, mixed with the turbid yellow current rolling down, and the rapids hit the half wooden piles stuck in the river water. This is a new bridge that has not yet been completed, and in On the other side of the bridge, near the ferry, carriages of various sizes loaded with supplies were laid out for more than ten miles. It turned out that there was an ancient temple on the river. The old stone bridge, but some time ago, a large number of heavy-duty carriages were overwhelmed and broke from the middle, causing the entire transportation to be temporarily cut off. At this time, in a hut next to the broken bridge, a man wearing an Aden Army uniform The uniformed general looked at the rushing river, his eyebrows almost formed into ravines. Why, it just happened at this time! The Imperial Army has captured Olua, and I believe that it won't take long before it will march towards Merkgar with all its strength. If the stone bridge cannot be repaired by then, what should we do with these supplies? The Aden general didn't know that the emperor's cavalry was rapidly approaching Merkgar, otherwise he would have ordered the soldiers to destroy the supplies now.

"Sir," the adjutant next to him said with an ugly face, "These are logistical supplies that took hundreds of thousands of troops more than a month to transport. There are too many. We have been transporting them for four days in a row, and there are still three. Two-thirds of the supplies were stranded, and now the stone bridge has collapsed. Even if the weather clears up in the next few days, it will still take eight to nine days to completely repair the collapsed stone bridge! " "Do your best! All the troops that can be used to fight are used to block the emperor's offensive in Olua. Under this situation, it is useless for us as the army's logistics to complain!"

General Aden snorted and looked away from the river, but he sighed deeply in his heart. This time the Imperial Army landed, it really caught the coalition forces by surprise, and the Oluya local army was blown away. The general defeat made the regional governors of the entire central province so frightened that they no longer dared to show their faces.

The war between the Imperial Army and the Allied Forces has spread here. Before the situation is clear, premature statements will only cause big trouble, because whether the Imperial Army wins or the Allied forces win, there will be cruelty to the areas that once fell to the enemy. Although they all hold the title of governor of the Istan region, they are nothing in front of the two behemoths of the Falcon Empire in the north and the coalition forces in the south. It is already thankful to God that they can survive this war.

Anyway, as long as they remain neutral, no matter whether it is the empire or the coalition, whoever wins will not kill all the local areas. For these regional governors, they are just changing their loyal masters. With this mentality, adding God ** also sent envoys to governors in various places, making it clear that as long as they remained neutral Without investigating the responsibility, the central region did not experience too many fluctuations due to this war. On the contrary, the coalition issued an order to the governors of various regions requiring all regions to block the advancement of the imperial army. The governors of various regions did not hesitate to regard it as It's a piece of waste paper that even your coalition forces can't stop, but you're here to be stopped by the local army!

Those who can become regional governors are not fools. They know that the coalition forces are seriously insufficient in the central part of the country. At this time, even if they only rely on the coalition camp, the final result will be used as cannon fodder by the coalition forces with insufficient forces. The governors do not think that the regional army they have formed can stop them. The emperor's blow Oluya is proof of the power of the alliance. Even with the strong support from the coalition and the gift of 15,000 sets of infantry armor, he was still helpless in the face of the empire's ferocious offensive. Even Oluya was unable to resist. All the governors died in the defeated army. Who can bear to swim in the muddy water this time?

On the fifth day after the emperor landed at Truni Port, the sky in the distance began to turn gray and bright. At this time, for some reason, General Aden, who was directing the repair of the bridge in front of the broken bridge, suddenly felt that the ground began to shake. At first I thought I was tired and dazzled. So I couldn't stand steady, so I looked down and saw the lights hanging from the carriage on the stone bridge shining on the water below. When I saw the pebbles and sand trembling slightly under my feet, I immediately shuddered. This was definitely not my imagination! He raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he saw groups of black figures suddenly appearing in the distant horizon in the faintly discernible sky. (To be continued...)
