Realm of Power

The massacre in Custa City lasted from noon to evening. It was originally scheduled to be completed within three hours. After all the more than 100,000 coalition troops were released, it became an impossible goal.

"We have been delayed a lot of time and must leave immediately. Once the emperor breaks through Maitan, we will be in a very bad situation!" Great Andrus glanced at the generals who had gathered back from various countries with a serious look on his face, and looked at him with some worry. Looking at the unclear sky, it has been more than three hours, but the coalition troops in the city have not come out at all.

"There are 100,000 troops on the Maitan side. How could they be so vulnerable? Moreover, with 200,000 troops on the Anlusu side, the emperor would not dare to go south." A coalition general who was summoned murmured in a low voice, with a smile on his face. With an unfinished expression, he licked his tongue unwillingly. Even though Cuesta was only a medium-sized city, it was still very interesting. Evacuating the entire city was enough for them to make a fortune. This A battle between the North and the South, the United The army lost its soldiers and generals, and there was no benefit at all. How could it be easy to let go of such a fat piece of meat after finally catching it? As for the time limit that Andreus said, who would really take it seriously? The coalition soldiers surrounded and blocked the four city gates. The Istani people in the city had no possibility of escaping. Many people hid in their rooms and were then rushed into the rooms and killed by the coalition forces for fear that someone would hide. The coalition forces set fire to these houses, and saw one or two fish that had slipped through the net running out of them. The coalition soldiers guarding outside hacked them to death with amusement on their faces.

The entire street was covered with bloody corpses. The coalition troops spread out too widely, and the soldiers did not have a clear range. There were also situations where the teams fought each other to snatch food and supplies, resulting in casualties. In the chaos of hundreds of people, the order from the coalition base camp to end in three hours was automatically ignored, even though Custa City was just a mountain city that was not considered wealthy. But it was still tens of thousands of people. In order to obtain enough supplies to escape south, the coalition forces were eager to scrape the ground.

"General Sutava is right. Even if Anlusu can't stand it anymore, the main force of the empire will not fly to the central part of the city at once. To thoroughly search this city, a mere three hours is obviously not enough!" General of the coalition forces! They all expressed that they could not take back the troops, and some shouted, "You Darius Anshi is the regional monarch, and the troops are all private troops raised by you. Your troops were the first to rush into the city. Grab the troops." It's your people who have the most. You have a lot of food. What about us? Faced with everyone's accusations, Great Andius also had to soften his tone. The name of this massacre was for the supplies for the coalition forces returning south, but in fact it may not be so. He had no intention of plundering something before leaving, so he brought out tens of thousands of troops and gained nothing in return. He didn't want to make the people in the country laugh to death.

Andrius could not stop the anger of the people. He knew that he suppressed the coalition forces fleeing south all the way. After being defeated one after another and being chased by the imperial cavalry all the way, I don't know how much anger and hostility I have accumulated in my heart, if I don't find a place to vent it out. It is also possible for soldiers to mutiny;

The generals of the coalition forces are smart people and know that there is no benefit. Who is still willing to obey orders under his own command, so he acquiesces to the order to massacre the city. The troops of the coalition forces do not need to worry about the bottom line at all. Whoever robs belongs to whom, and whoever robs the most will be able to follow them when they return south. Guarantee, among the things snatched, only part of it is really material, mainly property. Under such an order, if you want to It is impossible to exercise restraint. There are only so many things in the whole city, so there is no need to worry. Whoever robs less will have trouble with him. Blocking people and money is the most taboo. Although they will soon go their separate ways, each will go back to his own country and go his own way. , now is not the time to break up, he said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, how about I give you three more hours!"

"Another three hours won't be enough, at least five hours are needed!"

Some people among the generals were still unhappy. They were robbing Kaixinai in the city. They could easily grab all the property and women in the city, and suddenly they were found by the base camp. Who didn't hold a breath in their hearts? Some even thought, if the big flow Anshi forced the troops to withdraw and immediately announced his separation from the coalition base camp. The situation was already like this anyway. Everyone knew that after taking this robbery, they immediately parted ways. Do we still need to give this nominal commander some face? I obey everyone's wishes and call you Lord Andrius. I want to cut off everyone's opportunity to make a fortune. Don't say that everyone doesn't recognize you. Anyway, in the entire coalition base camp, the number of soldiers belonging to you as Great Andrius is only 40,000 to 50,000 people. Really? If we are to break up, who is afraid of whom?

"Okay, I'll give you five more hours!"

Great Andres had a smile on his face and acted very talkative. The situation was pressing. He could see that if he didn't follow these guys, there might be an internal conflict. When he left Maitan, he had already kept his selfish motives and would Among the six countries, the Harveys who were most likely to oppose the massacre stayed in Maitan to pave the way for this massacre. If the Harveys, who were always known for their fairness, were here, it would be difficult to launch a massacre, but they gave up this opportunity. , there will be no chance again,,

This is the last chance to be on the land of Istan. Whether to run back empty-handed and make people laugh, or to return home with a car full of loot and belongings, there are exactly two results. The coalition forces can be in Istan Defeat, but the monarchs are good-looking. Defeat or victory is nothing more than a matter of argument. As long as the army returns to the south, it still brings the victory. It is not a defeat, but an equal victory at most. Andrius believed that the generals of other countries could also understand the importance of this massacre. In fact, he was right in his bet. The generals of other countries, even the most authoritative Ali Duke Stuart was silent. Except for Rowan who didn't open his eyes, everyone else understood what he meant, but they didn't say it clearly.

But even Andrius didn't expect that once the coalition forces started massacring the city, it would be like opening the devil's prison, which could not be taken back in a short time. He couldn't help but secretly curse the greed of these coalition generals, each and every one of them looked like a dog. When it comes time to reap the benefits, no one has planned for the entire coalition. If you want to seek death on your own, don't blame me for not warning you.

While allowing soldiers from other countries to continue to wreak havoc in the city of Kutas, Great Andius strictly ordered all his troops to withdraw. His move was seen by other coalition generals. It is undoubtedly a sign of stupidity,

"Don't worry about those cowards with sharp teeth!" Looking at the groups of Andrius' soldiers withdrawing from the city. The other coalition forces were only happy. With less people to share things, everyone would get more. They had swept through most of the city block and had reached the edge of the noble district. The regional garrison was guarding there. More than 5,000 motley crews relied on the nobles. The mansion was resisting as a barrier, and because everyone was busy raiding other blocks, these motley troops actually held on for three hours, and now the other blocks had almost been harvested. Naturally, each team will start to gnaw on this hard nut. Now if you want the coalition forces to withdraw, who will do it?

"The whole army turns south, the target is Crow Pass!" Andrius gave the order to the completed troops. These are his private troops and they are absolutely obedient to the master, so although his eyes showed his concern for the black smoke of Kus Despite the infinite nostalgia for Tacheng, Martin Sharptooth's army quickly moved towards Crow Pass. Great Andrus didn't know that just when he issued this order, on the other side of the horizontal line, one hundred thousand imperial cavalry were frantically rolling up smoke and heading towards the same goal from the direction of Mekgar. Crow Pass, a mountain pass in the black, drags out long and strange shadows in the moonlight, and the undulating mountains are reflected in the moonlight. The fallen leaves in early winter trembled on the semi-protruding rock wall with the footsteps of groups passing by. The cold wind from the bursting valley roared into the corner in front, like hitting a huge wall, making a fierce whirring sound. . Turning in one direction and rushing out, making bursts of hissing sounds,

"Speed ​​up and the whole army will pass quickly!"

Great Andrus ordered loudly. Although he arrived at Crow Pass safely, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart because the mountain pass in front of him was too long. After marching for more than an hour, the army had just given way. The former army passed the pass. On the map, he had already noticed this key point connecting the Custa Plateau and the southern hills of Istan. Only by passing here safely can it be said that it is completely free from the danger of the imperial cavalry, because southern hills of istan The terrain of the mausoleum is complicated and there are dense rivers. Even if the emperor catches up to the south in one breath, facing an area with complex water network, the cavalry's mobility will be greatly reduced. Crushing the map in his hand tightly, Andrius raised his whip and urged The team speeds up. Where he sees it, at the end of the winding mountain road is an exit with a width of only twenty meters. For tens of thousands of troops, it is still a bit too narrow. Not to mention, once this place is cut off by the emperor, it will be difficult for the entire place. It's a disaster for the coalition

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, Andrius thought to himself, watching the last group of infantry leave the long pass that looked like a beast opening its huge teeth, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and left, his figure disappearing into Iraq. In the black hills of southern Stan, in order to pass smoothly without disturbing anyone, the entire army did not even dare to light a torch.

He didn't know that the front line of the imperial cavalry was less than twenty miles away from here at the moment. The imperial cavalry was like a turbulent wind in the dark night. When they arrived at the pass, Great Andrus's army had already left the pass for more than an hour. The soldiers' army was still exposed and dangerous when they lit torches, but just a little bit, the emperor's generals intercepted and killed all the troops in the coalition base camp and arranged them here. It was completed. An hour later, the fat man stopped his horse in front of the pass and looked coldly at the black mountain road in front. Through the moonlight, the fat man focused his eyes and saw clearly the twists and turns of the mountain road in front of him. He took a deep breath and said, "Trouble." , there are messy traces everywhere on the mountain road. It is obvious that someone has passed through, and judging from the level of mess, there are at least tens of thousands of people. Didn't I catch up?

"Let's go south!" The fat man's face was solemn, and the hand holding the riding crop crackled. He did not expect that the coalition base camp would be so fast. Just when he was about to give the order, the scouts from the front were already flying over, and they were discovered at the other end of the mountain road. traces of the coalition forces, In fact, no need to tell the scouts, everyone saw it, and saw countless torches emerging from the horizon of the distant mountains. They were so dense that it was impossible to count, just like the stars in the night all fell to the mountain road in the distance at once. , discovered Mattingly The Ya army actually withdrew without hesitation. Among the remaining generals in the coalition base camp, there were also a few who were not overwhelmed. After breaking through the noble district and looting, they immediately asked the soldiers to withdraw south. The other generals also I felt something was wrong, a soldier. Their intuition reminded them that they had wasted too much time. Under the hasty order, the soldiers did not even line up and approached the Crow Pass in a chaotic manner. The main force of the coalition base camp, which numbered more than 100,000, began to rumble towards the Crow Pass. A piece of pressure is coming

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" An imperial guard captain came over and asked. The cavalry could not deploy on the mountain road. Once they were stuck, it would be a hard fight. The fat man's eyes fell on a forest to the left of the mountain road exit. At this time, Even a temporary retreat was too late. Fortunately, the opponent's sight was not that far away, and there was no fire on his side. Without hesitation, the fat man ordered, "All troops, go to the woods!"

Although I don’t know how many people left in front, it can still be seen that the coalition forces that appeared behind are quite strong. On the long and winding mountain road, the length of the torches dragged out by the coalition forces is like a huge fire dragon rolling. More than 100,000 people The coalition forces could not pass through all at once, so more troops gathered behind, waiting to enter the mountain pass.

"Are we too nervous? Even if the emperor can fly, he can't be in front of us!" The coalition general Urakata looked at the groups of coalition soldiers entering the mountain road, and couldn't help but think about the other general next to him who was teasing him. road

"That's right, it's always better to be on the safer side!" The general next to him hesitated and replied, "But there shouldn't be any problem. The Great Andrus just passed by not long ago. If there is a problem, how could it be like this?" Quiet!"

"It's a little quiet. It's so quiet that it's chilling!" Urakata curled his lips and suddenly cast his eyes towards the side of the mountain road. He said in surprise, "It's not that quiet. Otherwise, why would all the birds in the forest be hovering above it?" ! "

"Huh? Hovering? Are you kidding? How is that possible, unless it's in the woods..." The colleague next to him laughed. He was just about to mock him, but in the direction Urakata pointed, he suddenly He was stunned, and then his face changed drastically. Before he could finish his words, he saw a dazzling cold light rising from the forest like a waterfall and heading towards the mountain pass. (To be continued...)
