Realm of Power

"The whole army forms a unit"

"Quick, don't mess up"

"Stay steady, as long as we hold on, we still have the ice wall defense line. We are not totally without victory! The imperial cavalry cannot get past the ice wall defense line!"

There were shouts one after another, and the situation was extremely chaotic. Looking at the falcon army stopped in front of them, the faces of Feize's soldiers were almost desperate. The fire in the direction of the royal capital was still burning in the sky. No one knew what was inside the royal capital. What's going on? I heard that the royal capital sent people, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a fierce fight with swords and swords in the coach's camp.

Prince Albert has always been a practical person in Fezer's military circles. He believes that a real soldier can only be considered a soldier if he has experienced life and death fighting. His Royal Highness the Prince dared to say bluntly in the capital, "The Royal Guards are just a bunch of people." Worms, cowards who can't go to the battlefield at all, can either be pushed to the front line and be worthy of the glorious double-headed eagle flag again in the bloody battle, or they can simply stay on the battlefield and serve this glorious army. prove!"

Under this situation, the Royal Guards really lacked trust and goodwill towards the unfavorable Prince. Prince Albert, who was regarded as the backbone of the army, did not appear at such a critical moment, except for a few generals. We knew that Prince Albert was being bandaged because he was seriously injured. How could the other middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers know how the coach was doing? In this case, it was difficult for the generals alone to suppress the situation. Seeing that There is a danger of a mutiny on the verge of war

Where is His Royal Highness?

Where is His Royal Highness? "

"The **** Albert must have returned to the capital, we were abandoned!" Under the sudden pressure of the imperial army, some officers of the Imperial Guard who originally did not want to fight to the death began to shout randomly. ,

"Damn it, you bastard, you are talking about living and dying with everyone, is this how you live and die together!"

Some of them cursed without knowing the situation. No wonder these Guards officers were so angry. When Prince Albert arrived at the front line with his first order, he immediately asked all Guards officers to join the front line of the battle. However, It is conceivable that once the Imperial Army launches a full-scale attack, the first line will undoubtedly be in front of them. Under the swooping attack of more than 100,000 Imperial troops, even if there is a solid ice wall, To block it, the Imperial Thunder God and incendiary bombs will rain down like rain. The first line is a dead line. Among the ten people filling in the first line, it is lucky for one to survive, not to mention Prince Albert. A death order was also issued. Without an order to evacuate, any officers and soldiers who retreated would be beheaded in accordance with military law. If they were nobles, their families would also be implicated.

"Tell all the generals to do everything possible to curb the chaos. Anyone found spreading rumors without authorization will be killed immediately regardless of their status."

Prince Albert whispered an order to the attendant behind him, holding one hand tightly on the hilt of his sword in such cold weather. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He swayed and appeared in the eyes of everyone with the help of his attendants. The commotion around the soldiers stopped one after another. They saw the prince's figure. The panic on every soldier's face suddenly disappeared. The prince Your Highness is still here, and Your Highness the Prince has not left, then there is still hope!

"It's His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"His Royal Highness is still here!" cheers rang out from all around, spreading from the main camp to the periphery like a storm. After a chaotic night, the entire army seemed to see the direction in the fog.

"I just received news that last night, some Imperial troops broke into the capital and set fire to it. Now they have all been extinguished. Please don't mess up." Prince Albert raised his right hand and shouted to the surroundings with a confident look, "The Empire The army has reached the point where it is necessary to resort to such despicable measures, which shows that they no longer have confidence in victory. As long as everyone does not mess up their positions, they can win! "

"Victory!" Someone shouted,

"Victory!" More soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, the sound overwhelming.

"Victory!" Prince Albert raised his hand high, but his teeth were biting on his lips. The wounds on his body burst open due to the influence. The soldiers must not see the blood-stained areas.

"Oh, the other side looks very energetic!" On the side of the Imperial Army, a black-haired young man showed a hint of ridicule on his lips, opened his mouth and yawned. "He turned to the strong man riding behind him and asked, "Do you have the latest? News? "

"I just received news twenty minutes ago that the opponent's three thousand light cavalry have passed Ruva, which is only ten miles away from here. The others are infantry, so it should take more than two hours." Crolisate took a deep breath. Thinking of the emperor's arrangement, he felt even more chilly at this moment,

"Ten miles?"

The fat man played with the goose-yellow pendant on his riding crop with his right hand. His eyes were like sharp swords looking at the red cloud that had not yet dissipated in the direction of King Feize. He heard the overwhelming cheers coming from the opposite side. Victory, how ridiculous. The fat man smiled sarcastically at the thought, and said, "Send the order, the army will be fully assembled, and Lytle's troops will also come up, so that the other side will be happy too."

"Yes, I understand." Crolisate smiled when she heard the corner of her mouth. She couldn't help but glance at Fei Zejun opposite, who looked excited. There was a trace of pity on her face. This was for such a murderous man. For Croissant, it was an absolutely impossible expression, but at this moment, Croissant truly felt pity for the Prince Albert opposite him. No matter how hard he struggled, he still could not escape his destined fate. ! In three days, the Imperial Army did not launch an attack, but its strength was no longer the 100,000 at the front, but with Lytle's troops, it was close to 200,000.

"Woo woo" bursts of fierce imperial trombones tore through the heavy snow in front of me,

I saw the endless torrent of people and horses from the Imperial Army. Dense clouds of stabbing spears quickly spread out along the front and both sides. Behind an attack line, there was a dense imperial military formation that almost covered the ground. The top of the helmet, which was as red as blood, danced in the wind. The color of the black armor has replaced the original snow-white earth. Countless team soldiers and horses are crowded together and it is difficult to distinguish them. The gathering queues are endless, and the crowds and horses are so dark that the edges cannot be seen with the naked eye. These densely packed soldiers and horses are like mountains one after another, majestic and heavy undulating lines.

"This is!"

The cheers of Feize's soldiers stopped suddenly, and they watched the mighty appearance of the Imperial Army with bated breath, and their hearts couldn't help but beat wildly. The number of people is so large that it is like an endless ocean. There is no doubt that the Imperial Army has not been completely inactive in the past two days. At least, its troop strength has increased by one-third from the previous two days, which is even more obvious. The momentum is like a rainbow, and the atmosphere is free and unrestrained! Just the pressure in my eyes is like a huge mountain pressing down on my heart. The urge to shout victory just now is like being poured down on the head by a basin of ice water. Victory? This joke is too big! Even a fool can feel at this moment that if so many imperial troops attack, even the ice wall will be knocked down! Even if the opponent uses a sea of ​​people, it is enough to overwhelm this side, not to mention the rows of heavy catapults pushed to the front line, the thunder gods carrying the black cannons, and the imperial heavy ballistas with huge steel arrows. These rumors The sharpest fangs and blades of the Chinese Imperial Army can unleash a massacre on their side at any time and at any time!

Whether they were officers or soldiers, looking at this unprecedented army, the heads undulating like the sea, the mountains of swords and swords growing up like dense forests, and the flags fluttering like clouds, their faces all turned pale, and their eyes were filled with tears. Showing a look of horror, he was thinking about the same question in his mind: "How long can I live?" The huge pressure made Fei Zejun, who had just stabilized, begin to commotion.

"No, there's no need to fight. We're just waiting to die here."

A guard officer murmured in a low voice with a desperate expression. This was a contest between a child and a strong man. The two were not on the same level at all. As soon as the officer turned around and ran away, his head was cut off by a sword light.

Prince Albert held back the blood boiling in his heart, rode on a snow-white horse, raised the bloody head of Officer Fezer high, and shouted to everyone around him, "We have no choice, behind us is The royal capital is where our relatives and children are, and behind us is our home. No matter what, we cannot let them fall into the hands of the cruel imperial people!"

"Yeah, we have no choice!"

After hearing the prince's words, Feize's soldiers trembled, and their trembling hands stopped shaking. His Royal Highness the Prince was right. This is the last line of defense for Feize's capital. According to Feize's official special promotion, the Empire The cruelty of the people has reached a heinous level, and the imperial people favor the humble slaves. Slaves, slaughtering nobles and slave owners, they allowed slaves to torture nobles and slave owners to death, and they legitimately took over the properties, women, and manors of these nobles and slave owners. For most Fezer soldiers, they harbored slaves. The empire is their destined enemy! What would happen if the Empire invaded the Royal City? Their relatives and children will also be humiliated and tortured by the slaves who joined the empire until death. For more than a hundred years, the Fezer people have seen many scenes of cruel killings of slaves. Now this scene is likely to happen to them. Above their heads, this kind of inner fear is enough to arouse the soldiers' desire to fight to the death!

"Come on, let's fight!"

"Fight!" There seemed to be only one voice left in the world. The soldiers rushed towards the ice wall. The logistics troops carried piles of arrow clusters up. There were also a large number of slingshots of various types. Following the command of one, two and three, they clucked. The soldiers struggled to pull them apart, and the archers were ready! Rows of bows are raised towards the sky, "a bit interesting"

The fat man's gaze went beyond Fei Zejun's ice wall defense line, and instead looked farther away. Amidst the tense situation between the two armies, there was a faint sound of rolling thunder, and a large piece of snow dust in the distance was moving rapidly towards this side. Attacking, a group of light cavalry quickly approached from behind Feize's army. Feize's army also noticed this situation. Before they could react, they saw Feize's light cavalry begin to stop.

"Is this coming? Ten miles, this speed is a bit slow!" The fat man grinned, raised his right hand, and ordered the cavalry behind him, saying in a cold voice, "All troops, retreat five miles."

"Yes" the cavalrymen who ordered the order nodded and rushed towards the armies one after another.

"All troops retreat!" The cavalry conveying the order ran in front of the entire group of imperial soldiers. Regarding the retreat, the imperial generals had obviously already received the order, and the queues began to turn around in an orderly manner, like a huge line. The black dragon is entrenched on the earth Slowly stretching his body, the empire's 200,000-strong army gradually disappeared into the wind and snow, and the surroundings suddenly became silent. In the wilderness that has lasted for thousands of years, goose-feather-like snow was flying in the wind, and Fei Ze's army on the opposite side was even more so. Looking at this scene with dumbfounded eyes, this is nothing! The Imperial Army just withdrew? Just when everyone was stunned, a large rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.

I saw countless light cavalry emerging from the wind and snow, and stopped their horses more than a hundred meters away.

"Stop, who are you?"

Officer Feize, who was in charge of the rear formation, quickly ordered the soldiers to line up with spears, and at the same time shouted to the cavalry. These light cavalry were wearing the armor of Feize's army, and the weapons in their hands were also weapons of Feize's army, even the ones fluttering in the wind. The military flags are all Feize's double-headed eagle flags. They really don't look like enemies. What's more, the direction the opponent is coming from is actually the direction of the royal capital.

"It's me, Kurai, don't you even recognize me? A leading cavalryman came over from the queue, took off the helmet on his face, and revealed a face that is very familiar to most soldiers in the royal capital. ,

"Lord Kuredia! Weren't you ordered to be grounded? Why are you here?" Officer Feizer saw the cavalry general clearly, his face was stunned, and he quickly asked the soldiers to put down their array spears.

"Albert has conspired to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. On the order of His Majesty the King, the rebel will be arrested and executed on the spot!" Kuredia took out an order with a stern expression, raised it to the Fezer officer, and said sternly. "What are you still doing? Get General Kabra immediately!" Kabra is a general in the Guards and also The officer's boss, General Kabra, soon appeared in front of Kuredia. After taking the order from Kuredia and taking a closer look, he still asked in disbelief, "Kuredia Master Ya, is this true? His Highness made a secret agreement with the Empire and sold the royal capital to those Hokuriku nobles?"

"Isn't it true? You can't see it yourself!"

Krudia's expression was extremely angry. He took out another letter from his arms and threw it to Kabra.

"This is it!" Kabra opened it dubiously, his hands trembling immediately. After a while, he raised his head and said with a trembling voice, "This can't be true!"

"The evidence is conclusive. What else can be denied? This is what I found from Albert's mansion. The private letter between Albert and the Falcon Emperor. The coat of arms of the Falcon Emperor in the lower corner of the letter can also be counterfeited!" Krudia was furious, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to "They want to eat people." The Hokuriku nobles raided the royal capital last night. If the royal palace army had not fought tooth and nail to protect the palace, His Majesty the King might have encountered something unexpected. But even so, with the internal and external collusion of the royal capital's nobles, the entire royal capital was still Suffering a brutal looting, the Hokuriku nobles not only Killing civilians, even the royal family dared to offend. Two princes were killed in the mansion, and the adjudication meeting was also bloodbathed. Of the 163 members of the royal family, more than 120 people had their heads chopped off, and others Either he was not in the royal capital, or he was lucky enough to escape the disaster. In order to destroy The evidence is that the Hokuriku nobles even set fire to the entire royal capital. The fire was raging, and countless people were injured and burned to death. The only one who did not suffer any damage was Albert's mansion. Doesn't this explain the problem? "" But! ..."What else does Kabra want to say?

"This is His Majesty's decree. Do you want to violate His Majesty's decree?" Krudia waved his hand with a sad expression.

"Death!" Kabra's eyes flashed when he heard this word

"Although His Majesty did not die at the hands of the rebels, he was seriously ill for a long time. Coupled with the stimulation last night, it has... This is Your Majesty's last order. No matter life or death, I will carry it out!" Kuredia looked angrily. He raised his hand, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled from behind. Snow dust filled the sky. Three thousand light cavalry began to advance towards this side. It seemed that no matter who was blocking the front, they would rush over.

"Hey!" Kabra was silent and waved to the troops behind him. The soldiers quickly got out of the way. Krudia's loyalty was unquestionable, but His Highness the Prince's determination to resist the imperial army was also obvious to all. The biggest problem was Yes, His Majesty King Laurian is dead, which means that the imperial army’s eager gaze has not been eliminated. , the whirlpool of the struggle for royal power has arrived. If not for this incident, Prince Albert would be the best candidate to ascend the throne. But now Kuredia insists that he is a traitor and is the mastermind behind the Hokuriku nobles' attack on the royal capital. This kind of chaos will always be a fierce battle between swordsmen and soldiers. It is better for me to remain neutral and wait and see what happens!

"What happened next?"

Hearing the chaotic sound from the rear, Prince Albert's eyebrows knitted together. He originally thought that the Fezer cavalry was reinforcements sent from the royal capital, but the inexplicable withdrawal of the imperial army had left him confused as a monk. When I thought about it, the rear formation was filled with roaring horses and snow dust. I saw a huge rolling dragon rushing towards me. The troops scattered along the way.

With his sharp intuition, he could feel that the opponent was charging directly towards the central army, and that the attacker was evil! Thinking of the assassins who suddenly arrived last night, Prince Albert turned to a confidant general behind him and ordered, "Aimu, no matter what, stop them!" Aimu is the captain of his personal guard and the most outstanding cavalry general under his command. He has five thousand cavalrymen under his command. The direct troops brought back from the southwest were first-class in terms of combat power and equipment. They were originally intended to be used as a sea-fixing needle in the battle. If necessary, they would be used to block the imperial cavalry that broke through the ice wall. But unexpectedly, It’s actually used here!

"Yes, Your Highness, everyone mount up."

Aimu licked her lips excitedly, pulled out her handy weapon, an iron tool like a bone, and said hello to the cavalry arrayed behind her, "Swipe!" There was a neat sound of mounting horses. Most of these southwest soldiers were not tall. Their sturdy bodies climbed onto the thick southwest horses. There was actually a trace of murderous intent in their faces.

"Everyone, follow me!" Aimu shouted, rushing out first. A large number of cavalry behind him rolled down like thunder. In front of him, these embroidered pillow-like light cavalry actually had the nerve to call them cavalry. They were covered in armor. It weighs less than ten pounds, and the war horse has never weighed more than ten pounds. Horses that have experienced real battlefields, no matter how good they are, without special training, will behave like a mess when encountering arrow clusters flying in the sky and rolling stones that come like blasts of wind. Let alone charging in array, they can't help themselves. It’s a blessing that the queue of people dispersed! It's not that Feize doesn't have cavalry, it's just that the real cavalry are all in the southwest swamp. Don't look at the horses produced in the southwest swamp as they are not as tall and strong as the horses in the north. However, the squat horses in the southwest swamp are famous for their good endurance and their running speed is not very fast. , but it is definitely stable and one of the horses most suitable for Feize’s terrain.

"kill!"

Most of the weapons equipped in the hands of these cavalrymen who followed Aimu were iron bone weapons like this. The length was closer to a mace. The barbarians in the southwest swamp had thick skin and thick flesh, and ordinary cavalry machetes might not be able to cut them. If you kill him with one knife, the other party will seize the opportunity and pull the horse off violently to hit you on the head, so attack this Some of the barbarian Feize cavalry have replaced their machetes with these raised iron tools. No matter how thick the skin is and how tenacious the vitality is, the broken head will fall down even if the bones are broken. Moreover, the front ends of these iron tools are densely packed with holes. With the sharp spikes, when the horse is running, with a hook and a pull, a large piece of flesh and blood will be pulled off. If it doesn't hang to death, it will hurt to death, or it will bleed to death!

These warriors who followed the prince from the southwest were all the elites who suppressed the barbarians in the southwest. However, in the eyes of the people in the capital, they were just a bunch of bumpkins. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to fight against these so-called imperial guards. It's just that the prince has been suppressing both sides. How could he let it go when he had such a good opportunity today! As the horse's hooves flew, everyone's blood boiled.

"Attention, cavalry ahead," a royal palace officer shouted to Kurudia

"It's Albert's southwest cavalry, kill them!" Krudia recognized the identities of these cavalry, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red. This time, he had no intention of going back alive. The royal capital has been destroyed, and the king His Majesty is also dead, and the royal family has withered away with only two or three kittens left. Feize has no future, so what escape route does he need? "Boom" the horse's hooves flew into the sky, and the broken ice under the hooves formed a confused ice mist in the air, turning into a white rainstorm.

"Go forward, kill!" Opposite, Ai Mu looked ferocious, and the two iron cavalry torrents collided ferociously, "neighing!" The horse that was knocked sideways and fell to the ground let out a shrill scream. The huge impact made the people in the front row of both sides turn over, almost The whole platoon was overwhelmed

The surrounding Feize soldiers were all at a loss as to why their own people were fighting!

"What's going on?"

"I heard that the prince colluded with the Falcon Emperor and sold the royal capital to the Hokuriku nobles!" Some soldiers who heard the news whispered among themselves.

"No way, how could His Highness..." Most people looked in disbelief.

"It's hard to say, otherwise how could the imperial army evacuate suddenly?" There are also some remarks with intentions that are rapidly expanding!
