Realm of Power

In May, the whole world seemed to be in trouble with the Eero Empire. It concentrated its national power on the fight for the Cornelia region. In the end, it only occupied the southern part of the Cornelia region, while a large section of the central area directly became the Northern Hunter. The Eagle Empire's sphere of influence, the army is still reorganizing on the border, The Order State, which had had an truce with the Eero Empire for eighty years, suddenly turned its back. With 100,000 Templar troops, they stormed the Demon Fang Fortress on the Eastern Front, which was heavily stationed by the Eero Empire, in half a day, killing 30,000 Eero. The elite defenders opened a gap from the most unlikely place and invaded the heart of the Ero Empire.

The sky is filled with war and the earth is stained with blood

Although the total number of the Erro Border Guards on the Eastern Front is 100,000, due to the Cornelia War, most of the Border Guards have already been mobilized. The 30,000 troops stationed at the Demon Fang Fortress are already the largest on the Eastern Front. With its powerful military power, I originally thought that even in the face of an attack by the Order State, With the strong defense of the fortress, it was possible to delay it for more than ten days, but the situation was completely unexpected. The Demon Fang Fortress garrisoned by 30,000 troops was not able to sustain even half a day under the attack of the Temple Army. The news came to The Hérault army, the Hérault military headquarters could hardly believe it.

"Are you kidding me? How could a 30,000-strong army not hold on for even one morning? Such a ridiculous report can exist without even a single qualified person!"

A head of the Eero military department who received the report threw the urgently sent report into the trash can with disdain. As soon as he received the report, he determined in his heart that the report was false. , is a cover-up method used by the Order State, but with the military reports from the fallen areas, An envelope came like snow flakes, and the person in charge felt that something might be serious. Because of the short delay and the complete lack of preparations on the Eastern Front by Eero, the Templar Army not only defeated it easily this time Eastern Front, and even devoured the entire Eastern Front in a short period of time,

With the fall of the last eastern fortress, Riya Fortress, the eastern border of the Eero Empire, which has been painstakingly cultivated for eighty years, has been declared to have fallen into the hands of the Temple Army of the Order State.

At this time, the rumor that the Temple Army possessed a terrifying weapon had only reached the royal capital of the Eero Empire. The 30,000 forwards of the Temple Army of the Order State had already penetrated more than 300 miles into the hinterland of the Eero Empire. The Temple Army who followed behind The army infantry group was like locusts, flooding the land and city behind. The flag of the Ero Empire was pulled down, cut off, and thrown into the fire. Soon, the flag of the Order State's wish tree was flying on the wall.

"What the hell is going on, where are the Empire's troops on the Eastern Front?"

News of the fall of the entire Eastern Front spread throughout the streets of the Eero Imperial Capital almost overnight. Many nobles with large assets in the east surrounded the military headquarters, wanting to get news about the war on the Eastern Front, but they They were all blocked out by serious-looking military guards.

Looking at the bustling scene outside the glass window, the deputy director of the military department who was temporarily responsible for the daily operations of the Héro military department was Duke Rufa, who was directly deprived of military power by the emperor on the front line. He turned to look at the adjutant who walked into his office. , said angrily, "How is the situation of the meeting? How long are those guys going to discuss it? I know that the Falcon Empire must be colluding with the Order State, otherwise it will give the Order State a hundred courages, and they will also We absolutely dare not launch an attack on the Eastern Front of the Empire!”

"Unfortunately, sir, Lord Luo Weidaen still insists that we must wait until the army is repaired before it can be transferred to the eastern front to launch a counterattack. Before that, the eastern front can only rely on the garrison forces in various places for temporary delay."

The adjutant stood at attention and replied in a solemn voice, "Lord Luo Weidaen also said that the timing of the Temple Army's attack is very unfavorable to us. Even if the troops stop reorganizing and move to the east front, the army will traverse the entire empire territory for more than two thousand miles. I'm afraid the cluster is not there yet If we have not completed the assembly, we will be swallowed up by the swarming Temple Army. Rather than doing this, it is better to let the troops complete their repairs, prepare sufficient military supplies, and find a powerful terrain for us to start the battle, striving to defeat the Temple of the Order in one go. The main force of the army"

"So, the military generals have decided to abandon the Eastern Front?"

Duke Rufa's face was gloomy. He was also the commander of the front-line main battle regiment. He was well aware of the cooperation required for large group operations. This Templar Army's raid was quite swift and violent. It almost attacked the entire eastern front in one fell swoop. The morale of the military was Morale must have reached its highest level at this moment. As Luo Weidan worried, if troops are mobilized from the Cornelia border in the west to fill the eastern front, if there are not enough strong troops, filling in will only be in vain for the Holy Temple Army of the Order. If we want to truly fight against If the entire battle situation is to turn around, we must fight against the large swarm with a large swarm.

But thinking of the impact of the fall of the entire Eastern Front, Duke Rufa couldn't help but clenched his five fingers. Since the southern part of the empire is no longer suitable for crop growth, most of the empire's food is supplied by the east. Cornelia The war has severely weakened the Eero Empire. , the grain stocks for many years have long been depleted. If the grain-producing areas in the east are now falling into the hands of the Order State, thinking of the signs of a severe drought that has appeared in Hérault this year, Duke Rufa's body trembled suddenly, and he I finally understand what Luo Weidaen meant by giving up the Eastern Front.

Due to the severe drought, the agricultural production areas in the east may not have a harvest this year, so it is unwise to hastily invest the troops in the battle for the east at this moment. On the contrary, the Holy Temple Army of the Order, which has already invaded the east, will not be able to harvest due to the severe drought this year. The logistics that need to be borne must be quite tight, and the millions of people in the occupied eastern areas will become a heavy burden for the Temple Army of the Order. It is not wrong for the military to have such considerations, but what about the people on the eastern front?

"The generals are preparing to report this battle plan to Your Majesty tomorrow. Your Excellency is standing up to object now, I'm afraid..." The adjutant stood at attention, his respectful tone suddenly stopped, and there was a bit of sternness on his face, which seemed to mean, this This matter is a matter for the generals. The deputy chief is no longer responsible for military work, so there is no need to bother with it.

"Do you also think we should wait two months?" Duke Rufa took a deep breath with a solemn expression.

"I don't dare," the adjutant said calmly, "It's just that my subordinates believe that because of the failure of the Cornelia War, there are quite a lot of complaints in the military. The failure of investment in war bonds has caused a great loss to the generals' wealth. Even if you hear it at home, It is said that we almost lost money and almost had to sell our family property to pay off the debt. People in this situation are no longer rare in the military department. Count, what everyone needs most now is a war, a war that can make up for these losses. The Temple Army of the Order State has come to the door. Naturally, it is what they want. They just defeated the Temple Army in one fell swoop at the beginning of the war. How can they be rich? Is there any spoil of war? This should be the main reason why the military generals do not agree to an immediate eastward counterattack."

"Just for these reasons, you are ready to sit back and watch the east fall!"

Duke Rufa's face was livid, and he punched the desk hard. He was a well-known land-keeper in the Eero military community. He always believed that heads can be cut off, blood can be shed, and land must not be lost, so in It was only during the Cornelia War that he was pushed out by other generals, only to be killed by the emperor! Having become the target of killing chickens to scare monkeys, now that I think about it, Duke Rufa still feels like he has been betrayed by everyone, so after he came to the military headquarters, he felt more or less the sting of betrayal towards the other generals. , which made him increasingly isolated in the military.

"This is a decision made by the military generals. It has nothing to do with my subordinates. I am just here to convey this news! If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first." The officer tilted his head unnaturally. , the unruly look on his face is so obvious, facing this military boss who is destined to be a has-been, this rookie in the military with a profound background and great future, naturally he will not take it too seriously. Deputy Commander Lufa is Being punished by the emperor for speaking out His Majesty was angry and was transferred back to the military. This has long been a secret in the military. If the Cornelia War can achieve the expected victory, or if the emperor is happy, he will reinstate Duke Rufa to his military post. But now The Cornelia War ended disastrously. The two hundred thousand troops suffered casualties in exchange for only a piece of occupied territory less than three hundred miles away. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor suffered from a very serious illness. The whole country was concerned about this. including disappointment,

At this time, it is too late for everyone to take care of themselves. Who will think of Duke Rufa? In other words, Duke Rufa is destined to be unable to return to the position of front-line army commander in a short time. A leader like a front-line army commander is very popular. Once he leaves his important position in the military, his chances of coming back in a few years are almost slim. A has-been old man will only have the right to roar a few times!

The military battle plan reported to Emperor Aero was approved...

The summer wind in early May was already starting to get hot. Princess Mingyue's carriage drove into the manor in front of her. High stone walls surrounded a majestic mansion in the forest. Imperial guards wearing black armor stood side by side on both sides of the five-hundred-meter-long road from the gate to the mansion. The aura of the empire hit their faces. Opposite Princess Mingyue, Li Yuehua organized a document.

A few minutes later, the carriage came to a stop in front of the white marble steps in front of the mansion. An imperial guard captain walked down the steps and opened the door of the carriage. Li Yuehua got out of the carriage, followed closely by Princess Mingyue. Tekelin stood on the last step and waved to Li Yuehua below.

“You arrived a day earlier than expected.”

Turrit Colleen looked at Li Yuehua who was walking up the steps, but her eyes were looking up and down at Princess Mingyue behind Li Yuehua. Her beautiful long hair was flying slightly, her eyebrows were like light smoke, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of hope. She is somewhat charming, her skin is slightly red, and her delicate lips have a crystal-like texture. It is said that the Li family, the first family in Zhongbia, has a very close relationship with the royal family of Zhongbia. Princess Mingyue claiming to be Li Yuehua's cousin may not be involved in it at all. The look of the two women standing together is really a bit... The illusion of flowers blooming at the same time is just that Li Yuehua’s face shape is more beautiful She shows a bit of resoluteness and a fierce aura, while Princess Mingyue is like a hibiscus on the clear water. In terms of beauty and beauty, the two girls have their own characteristics and it is difficult to distinguish between them, but Princess Mingyue has such a beautiful look. This unique Central and Asian style makes people feel a strange beauty.

"Bon wind and smooth sailing, it's naturally a safe journey, but I didn't expect to see my sister here."

There was a joyful look on Li Yuehua's face, and he hugged Turrit Colleen unceremoniously. When he was deprived of his position for review some time ago, he was assigned to temporarily assist Princess Turrit in handling foreign affairs. He was originally the director of the Southwest District. Foreign affairs is a half-hearted job. Only this time This can be regarded as a real hurdle to enter the empire's foreign affairs. Turrit Corinne, who is very clear about the emperor's thoughts, will naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends with the empire's full-time person in charge of Central Asia. During that time, the two women Not only do they get together harmoniously, but they also treat each other as sisters.

After exchanging greetings, Princess Mingyue only made some mistakes in Imperial dialect on the way, and then she realized that the extremely beautiful woman in front of her was actually an imperial princess, and she was also solely responsible for the empire's external affairs. This surprised Princess Mingyue. With the Prairie Princess in front of her, she thought that Western University Emperor Lu's women are all heroic queens, but the one in front of him is completely on the other extreme, with eyebrows of suitable shades, a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, the skin exposed outside the clothes is as frosty as snow, and the figure is graceful. , she looks very beautiful, that kind of charm is completely revealed from her bones,

He hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by the clear-minded Turit Corinne with a wave of his hand. He took Princess Mingyue's hand and said, "Sisters, don't say such lies. Since you said you are Li Yuehua's cousin, then I will take it as such." It's true, the road is close this time After a month, I'm afraid you're tired enough, so don't stand here anymore. The rest room has been tidied up and the bath water has been boiled. You'd better get rid of the sleepiness on your body first and then say ""Isn't this... "Princess Mingyue is still hesitant

"His Majesty has not come back from attending the meeting. You don't want to let His Majesty see you in such a dusty state, right?" Turrit Corinne smiled at the corner of her mouth and her eyes flashed brightly.

"Just do what my sister said. To be honest, I'm really exhausted." Li Yuehua said with a chuckle at the corner of his mouth. His waist was so slender that it could only be held with one hand, and he stretched out for a long time. It was so tempting that it made people full of reverie. , returning to the empire this time has already shown her attitude of completely breaking with Zhongbia. Du, and Turrit Colleen also said just now that she did not ask about the identity of Princess Mingyue, but just regarded her as Li Yuehua's cousin. This means that the empire will not pursue the identity of Princess Mingyue. According to her understanding of Fatty, she basically It is already certain that Fatty must have some kind of plan for Princess Mingyue.

With a bit of uneasiness, Princess Mingyue followed Li Yuehua into the door. A huge crystal candlestick made Princess Mingyue feel bright. (To be continued.)
