Realm of Power

Please enter the text. In the capital city of Fezer, black smoke pillars rose from a lit village. Soldiers wearing border guard armor shuttled between the low-rise houses in the village. The edge of a sharp sword flashed by the village from time to time. Occasionally, the crisp clashing sounds of iron weapons and the angry curses of fighting would be heard, but the sounds always disappeared quickly. In the open space outside the village, a group of cavalry sat quietly. There was silence on the horseback, with the snorting and clattering of the horses' hooves. Brandon, commander of the fifth army of the Feizer Border Guard Army, watched all this with indifference. After breaking away from the control of the border guard base camp, Feizer, headed by the fifth army, The Eighth, Tenth, and Twelfth Legions entered the royal capital area one after another. In order to collect the rations needed by the army, the four Feize Legions, totaling 130,000 troops, were like a big net.

"This is the enemy's territory. There is no need for mercy towards the enemy! Capture the capital and you will be rewarded heavily."

Under the clamor and connivance of the superior officers, the lower-level officers became even more unscrupulous, looting all the way. There was black smoke, flames, and blood everywhere, and the villages were burning. The castle is burning, and anything you see can be taken away at will. When a real field force is released from the ropes that have been binding their hands and feet, the destructive power that bursts out is amazing. In a short period of time, the royal capital The cities and villages in the Yallik region, which is adjacent to the region's gateway, have become attack sites for these Fezer border guards.

When the screams and fights in the village gradually became less frequent, flames and black smoke continued to rise from all over the village.

"Sir, the situation is not very good. The noble army took away most of the food. We completely dug up the village, and what we could find was very limited."

Brandon's adjutant, who was leading the search team, was the last to come out of the village. His long sword was still dripping with red blood. Behind him, red flames spread on the roofs of the village, like a group of vengeful elves dancing. It also reflected on him, making him look red. "At this pace, I'm afraid the military rations won't last more than ten days. We must think of other ways!"

Brandon frowned slightly, thinking that he had been eating smoke and dust behind the noble army all the way. He was so angry that he waved the horsewhip in his hand fiercely in the air. It was all caused by those damn nobles. The area in the royal capital was literally scraped three feet wide. By the time he entered, there were very few left. This is far different from what the officers imagined before. We are here to make a fortune, not to pick up the leftovers of the noble army.

"How can some small nobles be superior to the soldiers? On the west coast, these small nobles are not worthy of being used as stirrups for themselves."

Once they realized the huge gap between reality, the suppressed dissatisfaction and hostility in the hearts of the officers became more and more obvious. What was originally just a raid on the village has turned into killing. The officers believed that the nobles had robbed them of their wealth. Now the entire army was full of hatred towards the nobles. Brandon was also aware of this. Brandon was also full of dissatisfaction with the inland nobles, but considering So far, the target of both sides is the royal army, and they still need these nobles to provide logistics, so they can't break up yet. Therefore, after Brandon's fifth army entered the royal capital area. Always keeping a certain distance from the noble army,

"Sir, further ahead is Nulon. Nulon is a place where the royal army has heavy troops. But according to our current strength, ten days is enough. As long as Nulon is captured, we will have the supplies to continue attacking the royal capital, but I heard that the noble army has gone to Nulon..." The adjutant hesitated for a moment. Gazing across the blazing village,

"It's the noble army again, why do these bastards want to take advantage of everything?" Brandon looked solemn, and the fingers holding the riding crop made a clicking sound.

"Report, sir, the news just came back from the scouts ahead." A scout cavalry ran over, "The noble army captured Nulon." "Asshole, you're a step too slow." After hearing the news, Brandon's face turned livid and ugly. As the second largest city in the kingdom, Newlon is also a food storage area in the royal capital. In such a strategic city, the royal family will definitely garrison it with heavy troops. , but reports came back that the royal family had less than 20,000 people in Nulon, and as a result, they were defeated by an army of 50,000 nobles. Next, the royal army quickly gave up after a hasty resistance and lost a large amount of supplies and food stored in Nulon. Thinking that this group of noble soldiers, who were simply a ragtag group of nobles, actually took a bite of the fattest piece of meat in the royal capital area. For For Brandon, who just now was thinking about how to make Newlon his own, this news is definitely not good news! "Sir, what should I do?" the adjutant looked at him "No matter how many there are, go to Nulon and notify the 8th, 10th, and 12th armies to all assemble towards Nulon!" A hint of coldness flashed across Brandon's face. Although the noble army occupied Nulon first, that's not the case. How about it? There are only 50,000 aristocratic troops, and their combat strength varies greatly. They must be the royal army from Nulon. He was caught off guard, but he was different. The full strength of the Fifth Army was 30,000, but if you add the Eighth, Tenth, and Twelfth Army, it would be another matter. In the regular border defense of 100,000 In front of the elite army, Brandon didn't believe that a mere 50,000 noble troops dared to compete with him! "Sir, is this a bit..." The adjutant was startled by this order. This was to suppress the aristocratic army. Although the army had long complained about the aristocratic army, it was not to the point of breaking out. And if the Fifth Army presses forward, it will be tantamount to completely exposing this contradiction to everyone. It will undoubtedly be a naked slap in the face to Ferretri's alliance with the nobles for resisting the royal family's strategy. It is no longer right to split the border guards. Now And openly break the alliance! "What are you hesitating about? From the moment the Fifth Army leaves the border guard base camp, is there any way we can turn back?"

Brandon gave the adjutant a stern look, raised his head, and looked at the dark sky in the distance. In this battle for Fezer's royal power, how many people were putting all their money in the hope of grabbing excess money in this chaotic battle. Benefit returns are like this for Ferretri and the nobles, why can't you give it a try! As the commander of the Fifth Army, Brandon knew that his position in the border army had come to an end. Going forward was impossible because his Fifth Army was not a direct unit of Felletri.

The armies directly under Feletelli are the First Army and the Second Army, an elite military force of 100,000 people. Eighty percent of the military generals who can take charge of Feize's Military Affairs Department are from the First Army. and the Second Army, because the First Army and the Second Army are also called the "Ministry of Military Affairs Reserve Army." This has been a practice for fifty years. When you enter the Ministry of Military Affairs, you will never be placed in an important position. Either to manage logistics, or to hold a position like a front-line combat supervisor. If you are like me, you still won't have the opportunity before the age of fifty. Then the Ministry of Military Affairs will order him to be transferred from the border guard force.

Fifty years old, and Brandon is already forty-eight years old this year. There is secret news that Fei Lieli wanted to mobilize the combat effectiveness of his direct army. He has secretly promised that as long as he can defeat the royal army and ascend to Feize's throne, he will form Feize's new Military Affairs Department based on the senior generals of the First Army and the Second Army. Once this happens, the Military Affairs Department will completely become the first The people who are affiliated with the First Army and the Second Army are naturally promoted. As the commander of the Fifth Army, he can at most become a war supervisor. It is just an honorary position during wartime, with no actual power and no troops to deploy.

Take a chance. When this war is about to come to an end, which is also the most intense and cruel end, make a gamble according to your own wishes and calculations, and use your best efforts to stir up the dust and smoke that fills the earth. In this smoke and dust, Brandon saw ambition and destiny, all tied to this war. Just waiting for the final showdown!

After taking Nulon, they can advance towards the final goal, the royal capital. The royal army is now too busy to take care of itself. Even the second-rate troops like the noble army cannot stop it, let alone stop their own fifth army. There is not much time left for me. Maybe this war is specially left for me by God. Since it is God's will, I naturally have to fight!

Newlon,

The nobles who had just captured Nulon looked at the city in front of them with incredulous expressions. Being able to capture Nulon, the second largest city in the kingdom, made everyone extremely excited. They clamored to let the people in the royal capital learn from the foreign nobles. Brave and brave, but when the royal army withdrew and opened the door to the noble army, Nulon made the nobles dumbfounded. , an empty city, streets where no one can be seen, the nobles swarming into the city in droves, trying to find valuable belongings, but all they see are empty houses, no There are no people or property. If there are any, it is this empty and somewhat scary city, which makes people panic inside.

"Asshole, what's going on?" a noble yelled.

"Where are the people in Nulon? Where are the wealth and supplies in Nulon? Did we just capture an empty city after fighting fiercely for more than two hours?"

The nobles had grim expressions and cold hearts, as if they thought they had bitten into a piece of fat meat, only to find that it was just a shriveled piece of firewood. It was embarrassing and boring. However, there were also smart people among them who proposed to interrogate the captured prisoners of the royal army to find out the situation. , and soon, the real news about Nulon City was sent as a report to the urgent meeting,

"My lords, we interrogated the prisoners of war captured by the royal army and got the news that one day ago, the entire citizens of Nulon had been forcibly moved to the direction of the royal capital by the royal army. The reason why those royal soldiers had no intention of fighting was because they were originally from the rear. , the order has been issued to evacuate! "The person in charge of the interrogation was a subordinate of a great nobleman, who was known for his ruthless methods. He was known to be able to make anyone talk, even if it was an animal. talk

"You mean it's only been a day since you evacuated?" The nobles who were a little downcast suddenly became energetic when they heard this. Even Khalil stood up immediately. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's catch up immediately." The nobles could no longer sit still. Now, the entire Nulon wealth is in front of us, who can still sit still!

"Assemble the troops immediately, let's go to the royal capital." The nobles shouted loudly, and they went to gather their own troops excitedly. The entire city of Nulon had 400,000 people. Such a huge number of people, with their children and their children, also brought a lot of belongings. , how far can you go in one day? Thirty miles? Forty miles? It is a hundred and thirty miles from Nulon to the royal capital, and these lax Nulon people may not be able to arrive at all in less than four or five days. If they set out now, they should be able to catch up with the evacuation within a day.

Feize King's Capital, Leah Forest, there are almost no yellow leaves caused by winter, and the green coniferous forest is in this pale sky and earth.

A woman wearing white armor stopped on a high slope and took off the helmet covering her head, revealing her pretty eyes like a charming blue pool, a lock of beautiful hair flying slightly, and slender eyebrows. , a pair of charming eyes, a face as crystal clear as jade, and a skin as clear as snow, with a strangely beautiful complexion, refined elegance. The knight's helmet on his head hangs two long strings of pom-pom ear protection, which looks like a forest fairy descending to the world. Under the woodland on the slope where she stands, there is a dark mass of Fezer cavalry wearing mail armor. Both men and horses are wearing armor.

"Tata" followed the rapid sound of horse hooves from a distance, and the figure of a Fezer King's Army scout appeared outside the woods. He quickly jumped off his horse and ran to the woman, panting to report. "Your Royal Highness, the noble army has passed Langshukou and is less than five miles away from here."

"These guys are really here"

Princess Oona of Feize picked up the riding crop inlaid with pure blue gemstones with her fingers. Princess Oona is the youngest princess of King Feize. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she once cut off her fiancé's pair with a knife in public. The feet shook the entire Feize, even in the martial Feize, such a princess It is also difficult for most men to accept, and the unlucky fiancé's family is the Geng Di family, the northern wealthy family that is currently the most noisy. In addition to such a thing, the marriage between the royal family and the Geng Di family is naturally cancelled, and the Geng Di family The old Duke's personal crusade against the royal capital this time has a lot to do with this matter.

"General Lan Rute, are you sure about this battle? You also know how many spies are watching every move in the capital. In order to mobilize these three thousand cavalry, I even used myself as a cover." Oona paused. , turned around and asked a middle-aged general behind him

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. This place is more than fifty miles away from Nulon. Even if the opponent has 50,000 people, the team that has been dragged away by now is exhausted. It only takes one blow to repel it." General Nian replied respectfully, with a faint feeling of metal rust in his voice. His name is Lan Rute, from Feize Imperial Guard Palace. The commander of the army, the captain of King Feize's bodyguard, was so arrogant and domineering in the royal capital area that even the royal capital could not bear it. In order to lower the morale of the other side, King Feize personally sent his own bodyguard to the throne. Three thousand cavalry were mobilized in the name of escorting Princess Oona to Shia, another large city in the royal capital (to be continued.)
