Realm of Power

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the view a hundred meters away is blurred.

Under the rich experience of veteran Gan Kefu, the heavy infantry assault of the Twelfth Army was contained. The consequence of gathering superior forces to force a breakthrough was that it also exposed its weakest link to the enemy. The Twelfth Army was unaware of the situation. A breakthrough was exposed below, and it was also exposed to the troops directly under the royal family.

"Daucastle, it's your turn." Gan Kefu turned to look at his adjutant.

"Yes, I understand." The young officer nodded, turned around and walked towards his horse. At the same time, he raised his hand to the cavalry behind him. "The heavy cavalry is ready to attack."

"Brush" the two thousand royal cavalry directly under the formation, and they got on their horses uniformly. These royal cavalry were wearing double-layered mail armor, and the weapons in their hands were not lances used for sprinting, but hanging weapons one by one. The horrifyingly spiked hammer and the collapsed war horse were all covered in armor, like covered hills. When they started to advance forward, the ground shook, and the horses' hooves trampled hard in the rain and mud. Killing intent filled the rain curtain,

The troops in front dispersed one after another, and many troops cheered at the charging heavy cavalry, "Heavy cavalry, our heavy cavalry!"

The armor on the body comes from the Northern Falcon Empire, which is famous for its sophisticated military industry. The edges and joints have been processed with gilding techniques. The front breastplate is polished so brightly that it shows an arc. Even ordinary arrow clusters can hit it. Above, it will also be bounced off directly. The solid front can even It resists stabbing spears, and the joint position and flexible patch protection allow the cavalry to chop vigorously without any scruples. The long red tassel on the top of the helmet flutters in the wind, and the face is covered with iron armor, only revealing the bloodshot Each of the heavy cavalry with eyes is a killing machine poured out of money.

The total number of 2,000 people is composed entirely of the most loyal direct officers. Not only are they superb in combat skills, but they also have an extremely tenacious fighting will and can attack very quickly. The heavy cavalry on horseback turned the spiked hammer in their hands, and while still twenty meters away from the battle line, they smashed it on the heads of the soldiers of Fezer's 12th Army.

The heavy cavalry of steel was already covered in darkness. A large area of ​​the frightened Twelfth Army fell immediately, and the infantry shields were smashed away. Some infantrymen were beaten and rolled just as they tried to raise their bayonet. "Forward!" shouted loud and exciting. The heavy cavalry behind took advantage of the situation and moved forward, their horses' hooves stepped forward, and their long spear points fell down. Like eagles in the sky, they rushed into the collapsed crowd of Fezer's Twelfth Army.

The impact of the heavy cavalry was like a giant hammer smashing into muddy water. Countless blood splashed everywhere. The entire squadron was submerged by the horses' hooves in an instant. Under the squeeze of the cavalry, the human body rolled around like a bloody gourd. Pikemen and archers were squeezed apart in groups, or stacked on top of each other. The densely packed weapons were pointed at this side at the same time, and the blood was like flowers.

"It's the heavy cavalry of the army directly under the royal family!"

Cooley, the commander of the Twelfth Army of Fezer, who was still scolding his opponent for not daring to fight directly, was completely stunned at this moment.

Wherever the horses' hooves passed, there were broken spears and heavy swords everywhere, and chopped-off hands and feet poked out on the muddy ground. The shields and axes of the 12th Army and their flags were trampled by the horses' hooves and were trampled in the muddy water. . The body of a young soldier of the Twelfth Army lay half of his body in the mud, still staring at the sky above where raindrops were falling like countless white lines.

"Evacuate. Evacuate now"

Kure's intestines turned green with regret. Although he knew that the royal family had trained a heavy cavalry in recent years, he never expected that he would be the first to feel the power of the heavy cavalry. That old bastard Gan Kefu had hidden it too deeply. . When the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, they suddenly put heavy cavalry into the formation. They were unprepared. Even the God of War was resurrected and there was nothing he could do. Cooley's teeth bit his lip and blood oozed, but he could only watch helplessly. His own troops were crushed and scattered, and the torrent of heavy cavalry plowed out roads full of blood and meat among the people of the Twelfth Army. If they didn't evacuate, would they all die here?

"Lord Kurei, wait a moment." Unlike Kurei who was already panicking, Anyara, who was wearing a broad robe next to him, suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, and said in a voice that Kurei could not imagine, "The direct subordinate on the other side. The army's rear formation seems to be evacuating in a panic."

"Escape, Anyara, you are wrong! We are the ones who are running away. The opponent's heavy cavalry will soon crush them." Kure couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. What is this Anyara doing? He slipped up at the critical moment. , just before his words were completely finished, there was an emergency horn sounding through the rain curtain on the opposite side, representing the retreat, which made Kurei stunned.

This is... Kurei's expression was inexplicable, and he looked to the opposite side unimaginably. Sure enough, it was not his side that blew the retreat horn, but the side of the direct legion. He only saw black smoke pillars rising directly in the direction of Alec Fortress. In the sky, even hundreds of meters away, you can see red fire coming out of the fortress. The fortress doesn't know what it is. At what time, it was set on fire, and it was able to burn such a big fire. I was afraid that the logistics supplies in the fortress would be set alight anyway. No wonder Gan Kefu ran away. It turned out that the old nest was burned down. The direct troops who heard the horn The heavy cavalry turned around one after another, not even looking at the collapsed soldiers of Fezer's Twelve Army, but running towards the fortress in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Kurei looked confused, and Anyala shouted unabashedly on the side of her face. "Although I don't know what happened on the other side, the other side is in chaos now. If I press forward now, it might be true." It’s hard to say that we can capture the Acrylic Fortress in one fell swoop!”

"No matter how hard I press, my army has basically been scattered. I'd better wait until the main force arrives!"

Cooley glanced at his subordinates who were running all over the mountains and fields, and coughed with embarrassment. This battle has been lost. Now he is just thinking about how to save his face. If he wants to mobilize his troops to rush forward again, that is It's absolutely impossible. The opponent's heavy cavalry is in hand, so charging forward like this is not looking for death! Seeing that the arrogant Kurei might have been broken by Gan Kefu's heavy cavalry, Anyara looked at the burning fortress in the distance and could only shake his head with a wry smile. Such a good opportunity was wasted like this. If it were You have to give it a try no matter what. If you just had the idea of ​​testing the combat power of the direct army before, then now you are really wasting your chance! "Order the entire army to withdraw thirty miles. Although the result is not very satisfactory, it is at least a draw."

Kure had no intention of caring about Anyara. This battle cost his Fezer Twelfth Army at least 10,000 people, which had already damaged their vitality. If he couldn't find those little nobles to make up for it later, it would be a loss. Big. Gan Kefu, an old fox, was better left to Feletri to deal with. With this idea in mind, Cooley's Fezer Twelfth Army withdrew thirty miles back.

The next morning,

"What, are you telling the truth?"

Kure suddenly stood up in his military tent and received the investigation report sent by the scout in great shock. It seemed that the supplies had been burned. The royal family's direct troops stationed in the Bikoya Fortress were completely wiped out overnight. This was almost like handing over the gateway to the royal capital area. Who dares to believe such a good thing? Kurei doubtfully sent the scouts again. Go out and send someone to find Anyala. "This should be a trap. The royal army will never give up Alek Fortress easily. We can't be fooled." Anyala looked at the report sent by the scout and frowned. The glass ball prosthetic eye makes people look a little embarrassed. "The fire yesterday was very strange, and now the king's army has directly abandoned Alec Fortress." "It may not be a trap, the scouts reported that all the materials inside the fortress were burned. And yesterday In the battle of Tianyi, the king's army also suffered a lot of losses. "Kurei licked his dry lips with a displeased expression. What does this mean? Abandoning the fortress is a trap. Where does this put the bloody battle of the Twelfth Army? , using Alec's Fortress as bait. This is even more impossible, that is the gateway to the royal capital, the most important strategic location on the road to the royal capital, if it is a trap. So the Royal Capital is playing with fire. For both sides, the Alec Fortress is like an adjusting lever on the scale. Whoever occupies the Alec Fortress will have the initiative, so Cooley firmly does not believe it. What conspiracy will the royal family use as bait to implement?

At this time, the second batch of scouts responsible for the investigation brought even more shocking news.

"The king is critically ill! The royal capital is in chaos."

Both Kure and Anyala felt a little dizzy. If that were the case, it would not be difficult to explain the sudden fire yesterday and the sudden withdrawal of Gan Kefu. The current king has four sons, except for the eldest prince who is fighting with the army. Papt, now detained at the border At the military headquarters, each of the remaining three princes has impressive supporters. The royal capital must be in chaos now. Gan Kefu, as a confidant of the king, leads the most elite field force of the royal army. Naturally, he is the third For a time, the king's capital was in charge of the situation,

Moreover, the scouts also swore that the Alek Fortress was indeed an empty city. The traces of the royal army's evacuation were very obvious. A lot of debris was discarded along the way. The entire fortress area was thoroughly surveyed. There is no possibility of an ambush." ​​commanded The whole army, enter the acrylic fortress"

Cooley immediately ordered the entire army to move out. It was luck! As for yesterday's fiasco, he has long forgotten it. The battle process is not important, what is important is the result.

The majestic division of the Twelfth Army defeated the rebellion of the royal army in one fell swoop, and captured Alek, the most important gateway to the royal capital area. Glory was waiting for him in front, and the royal capital area behind the Alik Fortress was calling him enthusiastically. Well, although the royal capital area is not as prosperous as the west coast, it is still the royal family’s business. The core of the hinterland where the camp has been for centuries is densely populated. The military has coveted this area for a day or two. The west coast is lost, but it can be taken from the royal capital area. This kind of compensation is not bad. The west coast is the military area. Kure did not dare to take action, but the situation was different in the capital. As an enemy, how could he be soft-hearted!

Although her heart was still filled with uneasiness, Anyara had no choice but to move forward with Kure's Twelve Army, looking at the huge fortress that was becoming clearer and clearer in front of her. Anyala was riding on a horse, looking at the Twelfth Army's spears. The queue entered through the open door of the fortress. I don't know why but I felt an inexplicable trembling feeling. Was it really because the king was critically ill that he had to give up? If not, what kind of conspiracy is there in the royal capital?

"Hail, for victory!"

At Feize Border Guard Base Camp, a brightly lit banquet is being held. Countless wine glasses are raised high. The officers of the entire Border Guard Army and the nobles who have surrendered from all over the country are toasting to celebrate the good situation in the future. The Border Guard Army is moving towards As the Royal Capital marched into the capital, its military strength continued to expand rapidly. From the initial 150,000, it has now grown to 200,000. In comparison, the 100,000 directly affiliated legions huddled in the Royal Capital area look like that. negligible,

No one here doubts that the military will fail, because the disparity in strength is so great that even the royal troops in some areas surrendered collectively. Now the army just needs to wait for enough rations. We can press forward with all our strength towards the royal capital, and the military generals stay up all night Surrounded in front of the map of the combat situation, cavalrymen were constantly coming and going. Even the hundreds of running horses were exhausted. More than 200,000 troops were ready to prepare. Everyone believed that the king's army was in doom. Now they only need to work together to push forward. , can cause it to collapse, and Fezer's new era is about to come.

"The Marquis of Moracai, I would like to wish in advance that Sir Feletri will enter the royal capital as soon as possible and ascend to the throne." A middle-aged noble with a fat head and big ears raised the wine glass in his hand with a red face and pointed towards the whole audience. The partygoers shouted,

"Marquis of Slian, I wish Lord Ferretri to be crowned king as soon as possible and to create an immortal legacy for Feize. Long live, long live." Cheers came one after another, and the nobles from all over the country expressed their support for Lord Ferretri. With support, the atmosphere of the entire banquet was extremely boiling. It seemed that in the cheers, the army was marching forward, and the king's army fled in panic.

"How is the preparation of our army rations going?" Feletelli squeezed out from the group of nobles gathered around him and came to his adjutant. While toasting to the surroundings, he asked in a low voice, "It's not going well. Those who have joined The nobles are too greedy and their demands are too high. If they are completely met, I am afraid that the entire Feize will not be enough."

The adjutant held the wine glass, looked left and right, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "For example, in the Kutaya territory near the royal capital, there are Marquis of Morakai, Marquis of Andoria, Marquis of Feitu, etc. If they don't meet their demands, they won't provide food! ""That's what these guilty nobles are like, bastards who only want to get something for nothing."

Feletelli's face was calm, but he said gritted words, and hesitated for a moment, "I agree to their request first, and getting food is the first priority. Two hundred thousand troops are hoarded here, but food is being lost in large quantities every day." It’s meaningless consumption, I feel scared just thinking about it.”

At the door of the banquet, an attendant held a report, looked inside for a moment, and walked towards Feletelli.

"Sir, the latest battle report of Fezer's Twelfth Army" "Battle report?" Feletli was stunned for a moment, took a look at the report, and suddenly took a breath of air. "How is it possible? Cooley's Twelfth Army took "Going down to the royal capital's portal, Alec!" Logically speaking, this is an excellent news. He breathed, but there was no smile on Feletelli's face. Instead, the hand holding the battle report felt as hot as a soldering iron. It was originally expected to take a month to prepare, but the portal to the royal capital opened unexpectedly, and the entire But not even one-third of the rations for the army were collected.
