Realm of Power

Starr, the commander of the Eleventh Army of the Eero Empire, felt that he was about to die. He had been waiting here for two days at the promised confluence of the Karu River, and neither the Seventh Army nor the Ninth Army saw a single shadow. A new order was lightly sent from the base camp. The 7th and 9th armies were unable to merge due to special tasks, and the 11th army was required to defend the Karu River alone! When Starr, commander of the Eleventh Army, saw this new order, he almost fainted on the spot. This joke was too big. There were three hundred thousand enemies on the opposite side. The Eleventh Army only had five to fight. Wan took the initiative, and because it was an active attack, all kinds of heavy equipment did not follow up. With only 50,000 infantry with average equipment, it is not a pipe dream to hold on to the Karu River! If it were not for the strict military regulations of Eero, His Majesty the Emperor actually issued a death order before the war. Anyone who deserted without fighting, regardless of his military rank, would be executed as a deserter. Starr, who was already at a loss, would have taken the third The 11th Legion ran away!

Similarly, after sending out scouts for two consecutive days of observation, the Kingdom of Aden basically determined the strength of the Ero people in the Karu River, which was only one legion. After confirmation, the Aden army was no longer polite. On April 6 , the sky gradually lights up from the horizon, there are no clouds in the sky, and the earth looks even more boundless. In the vast sky, waves of rhythmic drum beats came from behind the distant hills, and a large number of small black dots flew into the air. They were birds that were disturbed in the early morning. The ground was rumbling, and the large amount of smoke and dust was like a typhoon. Rolled up in the same way, it feels like there is a huge beast behind the hills approaching towards the Karoo River.

"Attention, the Aden people are coming up!" Black smoke was already billowing from the sentry tower on the side of the river facing the Aden people. The Eero light cavalry responsible for detecting the movements of the Aden people seemed to be driven by some huge force. , running like crazy towards the Karu River. After a while, I saw black dots on the horizon in the distance, countless shadows emerging from the morning mist, and heads so densely packed that they could not be counted. Boom, boom, boom! "With the drumbeat of the Aden Army, the sound of countless pairs of feet stepping down and lifting up, even the ground was shaking. In the vast white field, the pressure of tens of millions of people gathered, just like this, coming towards us, poor psychological quality A little bit, I'm afraid it will scare you and turn around and run away!

"Quick, get in formation!" The Eleventh Army of Erault ran in panic. The soldiers who arrived at their position rubbed their eyes that were not fully awake. When they saw the situation in front of them clearly, their faces turned pale. How much is this? People are boundless. Thinking of the various jokes made by the veterans in the past few days, the knuckles of the recruits holding their weapons turned a little white. Even though they were separated by more than 20 meters of river, they were facing each other. The wind still carried a lot of smoke and dust from the opposite side, hitting their faces, but no one had the time to wipe it off. They remained motionless in their respective positions. Occasionally there was movement, but they also took a deep breath nervously, and everyone tensed up. After tightening their spirits, the enemies in the distance seemed to be endless. Each of the Eero soldiers couldn't help but lean back slightly, as if they couldn't bear the murderous aura coming towards them.

"It's the Immortal Army of the Aden people!" Already, panicked voices rang out from some queues with veterans.

I saw in front of the Aden Army, countless people in ragged clothes, crowded together, with no end in sight, and their sallow and thin faces were completely numb. These Aden slaves, known as the Undead Army, only held simple weapons in their hands. Iron tools, wooden sticks, and other simple wooden shields were pieces. Only the red eyes showed that the opponent was still alive.

"Crack, click, click" was the sound of wooden wheels rolling on the dry hard ground. Under the surprised eyes of the Eero soldiers, they saw the Aden Army in front pushing out crudely made wooden platoon trucks. Each wooden cart was pushed by thirty to fifty slaves, with animal skins standing in front to block arrows. Under the hard push of manpower, it trudged forward toward the river with an unstoppable momentum. After lining up, , are hundreds of long ladders made of branches and trunks. These long ladders are made of three to four meter long ladders spliced ​​and tied together. They are obviously used as pontoons to cross the river. These ladders are placed on the row cars, and the heavy row cars are loaded with sandbags and large rocks and pushed into the river. , is the simplest floating bridge, but these long ladders have no weighted The base has no grooves that can be fixed, which is obviously a sign that these slaves are not concerned about their lives. For the Aden nobles, as long as the river can be filled, the death of thousands of slaves is really nothing. Even if the pontoon is useless, just fill it with corpses!

"You humble animals, if you don't get out of here right away, it is your greatest honor to be able to serve your master! For lazy people, only punishment is the most effective."

Behind these numb-looking Aden slaves, the Aden cavalrymen held their riding whips upside down and galloped back and forth on both sides of the crowd, shouting fiercely and urging the slaves to move forward. The riding whips in their hands were swung loudly, and they saw those who were lagging behind. , the whole thing was just a beating, regardless of age or child, for the slave who fell on the road, he directly raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed the opponent's stomach with one knife, and the war horse passed by Under the acceleration, a person's stomach can often be broken open with one knife, and the heart, lungs, and intestines will be mixed out in an instant. No matter how much the opponent covers it with his hands, a lot will always gush out from between the fingers and be mixed with the messy dust outside. , seeing the opponent unable to die for a while, rolling on the ground, wailing in pain, the Aden cavalry who dropped the knife often laughed. Being able to break the belly of an animal with one knife is considered a good swordsmanship! Because there was a lot of gravel on the ground, many barefoot Aden slaves had shocking bloodstains under their feet.

The people of Aden were completely cruel in their control of slaves. If one person resisted, they would kill an entire team of people. Their daily food was only one meal of water soup so thin that you could see the shadow of it. Every time they set out to move, they were only given out for two days. Food, that is to say, if someone escapes, he will starve to death on the way to escape. If he is caught, it will be even worse. Beheading and disembowelment are considered minor, and peeling off human skin is just a common punishment. Cutting off limbs is the most severe punishment. Basic, still There is a favorite punishment among the Aden nobles, which is to tie the limbs of slaves to one-meter-large rolling stone bombs, and then throw them heavily with heavy slings. Under normal circumstances, the slaves on them will be rolled back and forth by the rolling stones. It turned into a pile of flesh and blood residue, and even the internal organs and flesh of the body were squeezed out, leaving only a thin line of human skin, which became an object used by the Aden nobles to show off. Some leaders of slave rebellion were often treated like this!

"Respected His Highness Bi Khan, why is this small Karu River worth coming in person? All you need is a charge, and my subordinates promise to take it down for you!" He looked away from the chaotic situation of the Ero army in the distance and said, General Aden, wearing a red cloak behind his back, riding a big black horse, and wearing an exquisite patterned armor, raised his head and said with a flattering face to his master who was having fun behind him,

It was a bed cart pulled by eight ornately decorated horses. The wind blew the curtains on the bed cart, revealing several Aden women wearing only a few pieces of cloth to cover their key parts. Their graceful figures made people squirt. Impulsed, Bi Khan was half leaning on a long-haired woman, with his right hand around the waist of another woman, and he was leaning on several female slaves. After being served, he happily swallowed a purple-red grape into his mouth. Hearing the sound outside, his eyebrows slightly frowned in displeasure, and he snorted in dissatisfaction, "Lin'erla, dogs that can only bark often live." Not long, because the owner’s favorite is a dog that bites! I’ll give you half of the people and you can’t take down the Karu River. Look how I’ll deal with you!”

"Your Highness can rest assured. I promise that at noon, Your Highness will be able to go to the other side of the Karu River to watch the beheading of the prisoners of Elo." The Aden general smiled and turned around. The flattery on his face completely disappeared and replaced it. His eyes were extremely cold, and he took a deep breath, "Everyone has heard your Highness's order, so let's begin!"

The general raised his hand towards the waiting army in front, which was a total of 20,000 Aden nobles. The armor of these regular Aden troops was very gorgeous. Even the archers had light soft armor, and the camel cavalry horses had Wrap in felt. Carrying a sharp scimitar on their waist, there is also a group of armored cavalry wearing heavy armor. Their horses are armored, and they are murderous with cold light. They are the heavy cavalry of the Aden nobles. They are the personal guards of the Aden nobles and are also the most powerful in the Aden army. Although the number of warriors is not large, among these Behind the armored cavalry, there was a tall blue flag. The flag was blown by the wind and looked quite spectacular. No matter how the woman* gasped from the huge bed behind them, these The faces of the Aden knights were as cold as hungry wolves facing the front.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be silent for an instant

"Woooo!" The horn indicating the start of the attack was blown by thirty strong men from Aden lined up with their cheeks full. The slaves in front began to charge towards the river in front like a landslide. At this time, the Aero soldiers It was clear that the hands of each group of running Aden slaves were tied together with ropes. In this way, even if someone wants to escape or pretend to be dead, they will be dragged away by their companions moving forward. Many people run too slow and are dragged forward on the ground. It is extremely tragic. When countless such Aden slaves simultaneously Moving forward, apart from the numbing footsteps, not even a single cry or cry could be heard.

"Archer!"

There was a lot of shouting from the Ero army. After two days of various propaganda, the Ero soldiers knew very well that if they were approached by these Aden slaves, they would be lucky to die. I heard that many people were bitten to death by these slaves. Although it is hard to believe such a statement, at this moment, what else can I choose besides believing! The faces of the Aero soldiers were extremely ugly. There was a commotion, and the fingers holding the bowstring were trembling slightly. Although they knew they might face this day, they had no choice. The infantrymen in the front row rushed to the riverside, and their gazes were hidden under their thick helmets. , with a hint of trembling, the hand holding the spear seemed to have a thousand pounds of gravity, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, beasts, there are all beasts on the opposite side, even if you are hacked to death, don't be eaten! These heavy infantrymen were whispering to themselves to encourage themselves.

"Long live Eero!" In the extremely depressing atmosphere, Starr, the commander of the 11th Legion wearing a rear armor, shouted loudly. No matter how you heard it, there was a sense of despair. As the commander of the corps, Starr stood At the front of the river, even though he was blocked by more than a dozen guards, his body was still trembling. His adjutant and brother-in-law, The person next to him said something hurriedly: "Shout a few more times. At least it will prove that you were on the river before the Aden people rushed up. Even if His Majesty the Emperor pursues him, you can still come to the front line in person and be seriously injured." You can escape punishment with such an excuse! Otherwise, even if everyone can escape alive, they will be taken out and beheaded one by one!"

"shoot!"

At this moment, the archers of the Eero Army released their fingers, and countless arrow clusters flew out, like a large black field that turned into raindrops in an instant. Metal waterfalls roared from the sky, and countless arrow clusters were like A pair of huge black hands shot him down from high in the sky, and the Aden slave suddenly fell down miserably. Lie, the queue of slaves who were still running suddenly became chaotic. Because of the relationship between people, if one fell, the other would be dragged down. If several people in a team were hit by arrows, the whole team would roll to the ground. Countless blood exploded, and the crowd was tumbling as if they had been hit in the front by a huge palm of some kind.

"Yes, that's it, don't let them get close." Such a scene made Starr, the trembling commander of the Eleventh Army, look happy on his face, but before he could even finish his shout, he immediately swallowed it again. Going down, he realized at this moment that he was wrong. The Aden slaves were hit by arrows and rolled over a lot, but for the densely packed Aden people behind, it was just a drop in the bucket. The people coming up from behind suddenly seemed like the front was covered. The river was already covered. It's crowded , as if no one was hit by the arrow at all, the undead were indeed too terrifying. They seemed to be stimulated by the smell of blood, but instead aroused the ferocity of the Aden people. The Aden slaves, who were originally numb, Change all of a sudden He was like crazy, holding the cluster of arrows falling above his head, and jumped down the river like dumplings. He didn't care about the rapid flow of the water and swept people away. People were rolling and pushing people, and there were so many people. There are so many that even the river can’t accommodate them.

"Hold it down, we must not let them come up!" The Erro heavy infantry standing on the river shouted frantically. The spears in their hands stabbed at the Aden slaves coming up from the opposite river. He stabbed out through the gap, and saw the spear falling suddenly like a wall, like splitting mountains and seas, and "swish" a sharp burst of force. The sharp whistling sound penetrated through the gap between the simple shields of the Aden slaves. At this moment, the Aero soldiers who were fighting hard seemed to hear a strange buzzing sound, which even faintly covered the rapid raindrops. With the sound of heavy hammers and drums, the sky suddenly darkened, (To be continued.)
