Realm of Power

"Since it's a war, people will naturally die. There's nothing surprising about this!" The black-haired young man stood at the window, his eyes falling on the city scenery in the distance. With his back to Lytle and others, he said, "If you are not that kind of person, , that’s the best, because you need to know that the empire values ​​you, not your country, which means that once the empire’s sword points at Carisu, you must make a choice!”

"You mean, I might become an enemy of my country?"

Lytle's face looked unusually calm, with only his eyes showing a hint of imperceptible heat, and his five fingers clenched tightly. There had long been rumors from the outside world that this legendary general already had considerable hatred for his country. This was also the case with the Carisu royal family. The reason why he did not hesitate to marry a royal princess to Lytle is not only for surveillance, but also for What he wanted was to disintegrate the admiration of the commander-in-chief by Lytle's loyal subordinates. Under pressure from the royal family, in order to protect himself and his subordinates, Lytle dismissed the officers who had followed him for many years, and watched the royal family change in just a few years. The most elite legion under his command was broken up and divided, and finally he was sent to the kingdom to participate in the Fezer Civil War, which was obviously a trap.

"It's true." The black-haired young man did not shy away. He withdrew his piercing eyes like a razor, turned around and said, "If you agree, you will no longer be the legendary general of Calisu, but a soldier with the imperial responsibilities." , if you want to regret it, it’s still too late”

"Can I regard this meeting as your solicitation for me?" After Lytle was slightly stunned, his face turned slightly embarrassed, and he said slowly, "I believe that your Excellency also understands my situation. Regarding the Kingdom of Carisu, I believe that Already I have dedicated myself to death, even if it is a betrayal, I am worthy of my true heart, but I am also a legendary general in the south, so I don’t want to do it if my worth is low! Just tell me how much I, Lytle, am worth in your heart.”

"What if I say it's a priceless treasure?" Fatty said after a moment of silence. The soldier in Lytle's heart is still very appreciated by the fat man. The price given by everyone is not non-negotiable. It's much better than those people who appear to be extremely loyal on the outside and claim to be dead together, but in fact, they will immediately become a loser at the slightest sign of the wrong direction. In the expansion stage of the empire. Fatty has seen too many people like this, even if it is necessary to be gentle and gentle, it will be disgusting if he sees too many people!

"This is a bit exaggerated. I, Lytle, am self-aware of this."

When Lytle heard such comments, he couldn't laugh or cry on his face. Such a high evaluation made people reluctant to believe that although he was a legendary southern general, he was actually only slightly famous in a corner of the barren south. Compared with the Falcon Empire, which had millions of troops, wiped out two empires, and dominated the entire northern part of the continent, and was a truly shining star, what did my meager reputation mean? Think about those famous imperial generals who are so powerful in the Opalo Continent. Which one of them didn't fight vertically and horizontally, and the number of enemies they defeated was calculated as one hundred thousand. The largest battle he fought in the south was only against thirty or forty thousand people. Just kill. It's completely incomparable. If he is a priceless treasure, then what are these famous generals of the empire whose reputation is known even in the remote south?

"You're just bragging. Do you really think you can recruit my father by just saying a few nice words?" Nalin was a little bit disgusted by the people around her. This black-haired guy just told lies casually, which really made everyone confused. Do you think you are a fool who likes to hear good things?

"This is a bit exaggerated. General Lytle is indeed excellent, but there is still a long way to go to be evaluated as a priceless treasure."

Luandria also shook his head secretly after hearing this, but Luandria didn't think that the dignified emperor needed to compliment a general in a remote southern area! After all, the emperor is still a passionate and impulsive young man, and he is still too eager to recruit! In fact, for a person like Lytle who has experienced various ups and downs, real negotiation can gain the other party's trust!

"I said Lord Lytle is a priceless treasure, and of course there is a reason."

The fat man was already thick-skinned, and there was no embarrassment at all. Instead, he laughed, "Is the value of a person just based on his status? Ability, knowledge, and many more things that cannot be summarized. If it is only based on reputation and status, Wright Your Excellency is naturally not able to make such a comment, but looking at it from another aspect, the empire's understanding of Feize's south is almost completely blank, although it has begun to collect information. However, after all, the empire entered the south for too short a time, and there were many obstacles, so the information that could be learned was very limited. But Mr. Lytle is different. He is not only a genuine legendary general of the south, but also has been fighting in the south for half his life. He is simply a The Living Map of the South is a priceless metaphor for the empire that urgently needs information about the situation in the South. It is fully deserved!"

"This guy is simply..." Nalin's pretty face was completely blank. She didn't expect that the black-haired young man's gaze would be so unique and majestic. It directly set the pattern between the male lord of the north, the Falcon Empire, and the south. From a perspective, compared with it, my own shallow and pitiful short-sightedness is so ridiculous! Is this guy human? Or is it true as the rumors say, the generals of the Northern Falcon Empire have become monsters one by one?

"If you look at it this way, General Lytle is of extraordinary value to the empire."

Luandria pretended to be calm, touched his chin with his hand, and said in a deep voice, he is not a soldier, but he has been with the fat man for more than a month, and he does know how eager the emperor is for news from the south, and he has even talked to him about the south many times. , but the empire’s exploration efforts in the south are too small. Such large-scale exploration cannot be completed in a short time, and I don’t know much about the south, and I have long been ignored by the emperor. It's all said and done,

After all, I am from Fezer, and I have only been to the south once. In the literature research, the information about the south is even more pitiful. Fezer is not a kingdom that respects knowledge in the first place. In the previous conquests against the south, A lot of documents have been seized, but no scholar has really studied them for more than a hundred years. Compared with documents, the Fezer people prefer the wealth of the south, but if there is assistance from Lytle who is familiar with the situation in the south, then it will be another time. thing

Under the guidance of Lytle, a southerner, the empire's exploration in the south will be greatly accelerated, and the collection of information will be more purposeful and targeted, instead of being completely confused like before, which may have taken a year or more. It will take a long time for the empire to have a general understanding of the south, now. It only takes half a year at most to get a clear picture of the situation in the south.

"Ahem, it seems that I, Lytle, have indeed found a great new owner!" Lytle coughed dryly and stood up suddenly. Kneeling down on one knee to the fat man, he said in a deep voice, "From now on, I, Lytle, am willing to be loyal to the Falcon Empire and become a soldier of the Falcon Empire. I will follow the imperial flag. Even if it is Carisu, I will not No hesitation at all”

He may have recovered the fastest among the three, and he was also shocked by the words of the black-haired young man. Such a pattern, such a gaze, what is the identity of the young general of the empire in front of him! However, Lytle still felt a little relieved in his heart. Even Lytle himself might feel embarrassed about how much feelings he still has for the Kingdom of Calisu.

It is no longer just a day or two that the royal family wants to put themselves to death, but it is only due to the pressure of many colleagues in the past. He has not taken action for a long time. In this battle of the royal capital, all the troops participating in the war of the Kalisu Kingdom were slaughtered. Only if he goes back, even if he is not executed immediately, he will be put under house arrest again. Compared with the oppression of the Kalisu royal family. , the solicitation of the young people in front of him obviously made him feel more excited,

If the other party only values ​​​​his gimmick as a so-called southern legend, then Lytle will not recognize the other party too much. But what the other party valued was not the false reputation, but his understanding of the South, and he made it clear that this was his real value. Not to mention other people, even Lytle himself felt the urge to kneel down and worship him. An important minister of the empire who could truly appreciate him. This kind of opportunity simply fell from the sky. How could it be that everyone had it?

"Okay, as long as you are loyal to the empire. The empire will not let you down." The fat man helped Lytle, who was kneeling on one knee, with a serious face, took out a document from the drawer of his desk, handed it to Lytle, and said with a smile. "You just said you can't do it because the price is low, so this can be considered part of the reward."

"What is this?" Lytle looked at the document in his hand with confusion on his face.

“Is the command authority of a hundred thousand troops enough?”

The fat man grinned indifferently, but almost scared Lytle to the ground.

The fat man said, "The empire originally planned to recruit six garrison flag regiments from the slaves released on the west coast to form the Empire Jersey Coast Legion, with a total of hundreds of thousands of people. Although they are not the regular army of the empire, they can be guaranteed to be young and strong, with high morale and weapons." Fully equipped and currently Four have been recruited, and the full strength is 67,000 people, which is enough to deal with general battles. Now I leave it to you! The remaining soldiers should be recruited within ten days. You should prepare, maybe, very soon. A war will break out soon. "One hundred thousand troops... a war will break out!"

Lytle's face was in a trance, and everyone took a breath of cold air, "Hey, darling, one hundred thousand troops. The entire Kalisu Kingdom does not have this number of troops. Although it is not a regular army of the empire, it is fully equipped with weapons. In terms of the south, , which is on par with the regular army. Lytle did not expect that when he paid his respects, he would be an army of 100,000 people! The so-called war breaks out, even with your knees you can imagine what it means. The West Coast is obviously ready to attack. With just one order, a hundred thousand troops will become the sharp arrows fired by the empire towards the capital of Fezer, piercing through the Fezer people in one fell swoop. heart!

Blue Moon Mountain,

The west wind is blowing, and the smoke and dust kicked up by countless horses' hooves are billowing upwards.

The black cavalry emerged from both sides of the mountain. Their horses' hooves stopped heavily on the edge of the cracked ground, trampling up large swaths of smoke and dust that looked like morning mist. Their numbers were densely packed, conservatively estimated to be around 40,000. They looked fierce and fierce, as if they were looking at their trapped prey. The black cavalry's tens of thousands of horses' hooves were lifted and lowered uneasily, bringing up the soil on the ground at the same time. Turn the ground beneath your feet into mud,

"Sir, what should we do now?" the adjutant asked Laliac with a pale face, his teeth were trembling. The entire battlefield had basically stopped. The surrounded border guard cavalry began to withdraw. Soldiers from the Fourth Army of the Directly Affiliated Army He looked to both sides with fear in his eyes, and unconsciously began to gather his formation.

"It doesn't look like the border guards." Laliac tightened the reins of his war horse nervously, looked back from a distance, and said to himself, such a number of cavalry is two or three times our own, even if the entire border guard is Counting all the cavalry of the army, there is absolutely no such a large number of cavalry groups, so Laliac is also a little confused. Is it an enemy or a friend?

At this moment, woo woo, a loud trombone sounded from the high ground on the side, and a group of black armored cavalry was seen running out of the separate cavalry ranks like iron towers. These running cavalry made the entire Fezer directly belong to the fourth The army all took a breath of air-conditioning. They saw these heavy-armored cavalry with long visors attached to their horses' heads. Their thick bodies were like a thick hill. Their bodies were unusually strong and they were fully armored. The cavalry above are also wearing heavy armor. Just this posture is like a ferocious beast trampling on the ground. With uniform movements, the cavalry spears are like a cold light surging in front and spreading out. Forming an inclined surface similar to a concave, the simple and clear lines reveal a razor-like killing effect, which can cut the entire Fourth Army directly in front from the middle at any time.

"Oh my god, heavy cavalry, it's heavy cavalry!" The adjutant was completely panicked and even spoke incoherently.

"What's going on? Why are there heavy cavalry?"

Just like him, there were commotions among the soldiers of the Directly Affiliated Fourth Army who had gathered together, and the soldiers' voices of fear came one after another. The Directly Affiliated Fourth Army was not a heavily armed force, and it would be difficult to face an ordinary light cavalry assault, let alone face the so-called battlefield. The heavy cavalry of the meat grinder! , not to mention the frightening appearance of the heavy cavalry, just the orderly formation of these heavy cavalry is already like a mountain falling apart, making people completely unable to resist. In front of such a battlefield sweeper, as long as it is a Normal people, all they think about is running away!

"Who is the other party and what does he want to do!"

Laliac's eyes were fixed on a black-armored heavy cavalry who was slowly coming from the queue. His teeth were biting on his lips and blood was flowing. Tens of thousands of troops were trapped here and there was no real confrontation yet. He was so courageous. Since the day he became a soldier, in the past twenty years, there has never been such a hopeless and depressing situation.

The black-armored cavalryman who came out alone from the opposite side stopped about a hundred meters ahead. The cavalryman firmly planted the white flag raised in his hand on the ground, and his eyes swept over Feize, whose faces were as white as paper, with contempt. The man suddenly smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, "Within ten breaths, surrender or die!"
