Realm of Power

"Lord Aisen is indeed mighty. He can conquer anything he points at with his long sword!"

"Your Excellency, you have achieved such command at such a young age. Lu Gaoling, who is known as the barrier, is completely defenseless in front of Your Excellency. The so-called mainland famous generals, that is to say, people like Your Excellency!" More than a dozen ornately dressed blood sword regiments The senior management of the company was paying flattering compliments to a young man standing alone on a high slope in front of him.

The bright red cloak of the Gallic Guards was draped from the young man's back to the ground. Behind him was a whole team of Gallic cavalry holding the blue lion flag, showing a fierceness that soared to the sky, and the golden sunshine illuminated it. On the golden armor of this blond young man, there is an indescribable perseverance on his slightly dark face.

Although there was only one person standing there, it gave people a sharp feeling. The first impression everyone felt when they saw him was that this person was a gun, a sharp gun that made people feel stinging.

He is Aisen, a man who has just been promoted to deputy commander of the Gallic Guards. He is the youngest deputy commander in the history of Gaul. It is also because of his identity that the Gallic nobles in the Blood Knife Regiment finally decided to bet on In his case, Gaul has been destroyed for more than two years, but there are not a few of the fleeing Gaul nobles who still hold the idea of ​​​​restoring the country.

Because the mountain province had closed its roads, many fleeing nobles came here, and the Blood Sword Regiment absorbed many of them. The original Blood Sword Regiment's senior officials, who originally thought their power had increased greatly, were not happy for a few days before they found that the situation was completely out of control. "Gaul The ZTE will definitely be restored, and you are all ministers of the ZTE." An empty promise from the Shanzhong Province was enough to arouse the fanatical pursuit of these fugitive nobles.

A huge empire that has been entrenched in the north for three hundred years did not completely disappear because of a war of conquest, especially since the bloodline of the Gallic emperor is still there, and there is still a Gallic emperor in the mountain province, although it is only one Little boy, in the final analysis, the former top brass of the Blood Knife Regiment were just thieves in the wilderness, a class that the nobles looked down upon. Only due to the pressure of fleeing, they temporarily succumbed to the Blood Knife Regiment. Now that they have seen the hope of the empire's resurgence, who would be willing to surrender to a group of rubes? Under various inducements, most of the Blood Knife Regiment's power has long been transferred unconsciously. In the hands of these Gallic nobles, how could a mere group of rural thieves be able to resist the sudden force of the Gallic nobles!

"Your Majesty, Marquis Akbi, according to the agreement, I am only responsible for conquering Lu Gaoling. I will leave you with the rest!"

Amid the flattering compliments from the leaders of the Blood Knife Regiment, Eisen's eyes were always like a carving knife falling on the two crossed blood-red battle flags of the Blood Knife Regiment that rushed forward like a wave in the direction of Lu Gaoling. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly before he turned around and looked at a middle-aged nobleman behind him who was trembling with joy.

"Lord Aisen, you can rest assured that my subordinates know what to do. Even if I drive all the people from the Ling Kingdom, I will definitely send enough iron ore to His Highness." The serious-looking middle-aged noble laughed so hard that his mouth split to the base of his ears. He also had to put on a very serious expression to express his sincerity. When he heard him say this, a look of contempt flashed across the faces of several Gallic nobles next to him.

This middle-aged nobleman is called Akbi. Before his escape, he was the former minister of the Gallic Ministry of Interior specializing in mining. He is famous for his ruthlessness. The Gallic Empire generally uses slaves and prisoners of war for mining, but as the Falcon Empire and the Falcon Empire The war in the Gallic Empire became more and more intense, with millions of troops fighting and replacing each other. Especially in the year before the demise of the Gallic Empire, there were several major battles, resulting in huge losses of materials and troops. Unable to keep up, in order to replenish the empire's long-depleted arsenal, Akbi ordered the security forces to send all the refugees to the mining areas to mine iron ore. According to rumors, at least 100,000 refugees died as a result of mining. This controversial mining minister also disappeared on the eve of Kyoto's fall. There are rumors that he was recognized when he fled Kyoto, was besieged, and had all his bones broken.

But now it seems that this rumor is not true

This raid on Lu Gaoling was originally planned for a quick victory. They must withdraw before all the forces in the wilderness pay attention. Otherwise, the mountain province, in the name of war mercenaries, is actually a strategic layout with swords pointed at the wilderness. will be exposed, other forces are not a concern. What scares the Shanzhong Province the most is actually not Zhongbia, but the response of the Falcon Empire.

With an autographed letter from Algernon Julia, Eisen entered the Blood Knife Regiment incognito, and finally convinced these nobles. Eisen also remembered that the content of the letter was roughly "This wilderness is a combination of the Gallic forces and the The strategic buffer zone formed by the mutual pull between the Chinese and Libyan forces for three hundred years, the rise of the Northern Falcon Empire, and the powerful Even Zhongbia can clearly feel the power of military power. The nomads in the northern grasslands were also defeated by the Falcon Empire, not to mention Zhongbia, which was suppressed by the nomads. Once this strategic buffer zone disappears, There will no longer be a buffer zone between Zhongbia and the Empire, and Zhongbia may face the front of the Falcon Empire! "

"Based on the current situation in the Central and Asian courts, this is definitely not what the Central and Asian sides want to see! This is also the opportunity for resurgence as mentioned by Her Highness Algernon Julia. "The Central and Asian sides do not want to be adjacent to the Falcon Empire. , but if it were replaced by the Shanzhong Province, it would be another matter. After all, the Shanzhong Province is nominally a province of Zhongbia, and it still bears the banner of Zhongbia."

"Now the Zhongbia court has been defeated one after another by the nomads in the northern grasslands. The most important central and northern areas have been lost in the suppression. The morale of the military and the people has been low to a considerable extent. If the mountain provinces march into the wilderness under the banner of Zhongbia , have you ever thought about what would happen? Algernon Julia believes that you are well aware of the pain of national subjugation, and you also know that a nominal victory in occupying the wilderness of China will be very difficult for you. What does it mean for the Zhongbia court that wants to win so much? As long as it occupies the wilderness, Zhongbia will not only not stop it, but may even demand that all the Zhongbia forces in the wilderness come under our management. If we can get a big In this large area, you can still get the powerful Zhongbia Tianlang Army. You only need to make enough determination to get it. The position of the Empire's Zhongxing Minister is waiting for you! "

"These guys are just like grassroots. When I joined the Blood Knife Group anonymously six months ago, a few people took a look at me. If I hadn't come up with something that was enough to impress them, how could they be so presumptuous about me now?"

Taking the expressions of the nobles into his eyes, Eisen pressed a dry lip to his lips. His Royal Highness Julia was right. Just like what the man said, power is the basis of everything. In the face of real power, all Conspiracies and scheming are all a joke! Now that Lu Gaoling is captured, His Highness will be able to obtain enough weapons to form more troops, instead of having to be restrained by China and Libya at all times! If not, why does His Highness need to go to such trouble to support these greedy guys to control the Lugaoling mining area?

"Order to return to the team, we must leave!"

Aisen looked arrogant and raised his hand to his subordinates who were holding a flag behind him.

"Woo"

A burst of passionate horn trombones resounded through the sky, and soon, groups of elite cavalry wearing Gallic Guards armor were galloping towards the direction of the military flag like small streams flowing into the sea. The men and horses were sturdy Like a rolling dragon, the lances radiating cold light have turned red, and they are still teasing each other about their respective results.

This time, the Blood Sword Regiment was nominally attacking Lu Gaoling. In fact, the main attackers were two thousand elite Gallic Guardsmen from the mountain province. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to defeat the Ling garrison on Lu Gaoling in such a devastating manner. Lu Jin As the military force that Algernon Julia relies on most, the Guards suffered heavy losses in the war with the Falcon Empire, but those left behind are truly elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, and they can fight against the small forces of the Ling Kingdom. More than enough.

The two thousand troops garrisoned by the Kingdom of Qianling were completely killed by the light cavalry of the Gallic Guards before they even realized they were under attack. The other troops of the Blood Knife Regiment were only here to take over the battlefield.

"It's my duty, I won't delay, and I also need to deal with some things regarding the Blood Knife Regiment." Eisen waited until the troops were assembled, turned around and saluted the others. He felt impatient to continue to deal with these greedy nobles, so Found an excuse to lead the troops to leave

Lu Gaoling is inconspicuous in its strategic location. It is located in a semi-wilderness. Most of the surface vegetation is low shrubs. The climate is unpredictable and

Under the unique plateau climate of hot and cold, the Luowei Mountains across the wilderness gradually come to an end here, which is where the Lugaoling Mine, which is famous throughout the wilderness, is located. The Lugaoling rough iron ore produced here contains very few impurities, even if It is also a first-class source of concentrated minerals in the core area of ​​Gaul. In the Gallic era, the Lugao iron ore has always been an excellent ore used to forge officers' armor.

With full of joy, the Gallic nobles of the Blood Knife Regiment stationed themselves on Lu Gaoling. From now on, this huge mining area that makes the entire wilderness jealous is theirs. Being able to take over such a large piece of fat without a single blow will make these people who were originally relatively untouchable. The nobles who complained about their escape life were excited

If the Mountain Province can really occupy the entire wilderness, even if the empire cannot be revived immediately, it will at least have the territory of a not weak medium-sized kingdom. By then, the glory of their respective families can be restored. I have to admit that Algernon The short-term plan and long-term plan proposed by Julia, a woman The early vision was quite tempting and executable. In the minds of the nobles, a scene in which their respective families regained their glory had already flashed in their minds, with carriages, horses and servants, crowds of people, and dazzling luxury. With such a Thinking about it, the desolate Lu Gaoling in front of me is not so unbearable.

Between the towering city walls, the thatched houses are like the yellow land under the grass stems. On the high ground on the left side of the camp, a small dilapidated castle stands on the high ground as a sentry tower. On the semi-plateau where storms often arise, It will turn into an area full of yellow sand, especially when the plateau wind blows in the summer. Under the hot air pressure, the gray dust blew past the ears, and there was a deafening rumble. In order to avoid the dust, the nobles hid, so that no one could see it, and they were covered. From the end of the earth in sight, there was a muffled thunderous echo mixed with the sound of wind and dust rolling in.

It was a black line on the gray horizon between heaven and earth, jumping out like a black wave. This black line spread at an alarming speed. It was the echo of a huge group of cavalry stepping on the earth. Under the horses' hooves, there was Like an eagle, suddenly rising from the wasteland The smoke and dust that swooped down from the slope obscured most of the sight ahead. Otherwise, the sentry would have noticed that the cloaks of the imperial cavalry were fluttering in the wind. The taizhen were as red as if they were stained with blood, like a dazzling stream of blood. It's coming in waves,

It wasn't until the slightly trembling ground turned into violent vibrations, and amidst the roar of the earth, that moment when countless black cavalry swept forward from high places, there was no sound from the "enemy attack" sentry tower, but this sound was so weak , has long been drowned out by the constant sound of horse hooves to the point of being indistinguishable.

"kill!"

In the swirling gray smoke, the cavalry suddenly jumped over a trench outside Lugaoling, like an endless black wave, slamming into the chaotic crowd of Blood Sword Regiment. Shocking shouts rose from the sky, and the overwhelming cavalry group rushed forward like a frenzy. Entering the mining area, Rui The sharp scimitar of the prairie cavalry was slashing at the people around them wildly. Many soldiers of the Blood Knife Regiment who ran out in panic did not understand the situation. They were either hacked to death piece by piece or trampled by the cavalry commander who came down quickly. Turned into a pile of minced meat that no one can recognize,

"Oh my god, it's the Imperial Cavalry." After seeing clearly the identities of the cavalry who rushed in, the shrill shouts from the front have not disappeared, the tragic sound of flesh and blood bodies being knocked away by the horses has not stopped, and the cold light flashes in the rows. The imperial cavalry's spears have been pushed forward like a bloody wall of killing.

"Kill! Leave no one behind!"

The Imperial General Likelon of the Ninth Banner of the Empire who led the team was the deputy general of Mu Lihe, the leader of the Ninth Banner. He was also a general from the West King's Court. He was a murderous figure at the beginning, and he was destroyed by him. The small grassland tribe had more than two fingers, and it was considered that it had restrained its blood after joining the empire. However, the scene in front of him made him feel violent in his heart. He suddenly exploded, raising the prairie scimitar inlaid with a ruby ​​hilt in his hand, pointing forward with a cold light. A large number of bloodshot eyes looked at the soldiers of the Blood Knife Regiment running all over Lugaoling. Their faces were full of anger. These bastards, He actually killed all the Ling Kingdom garrison on Lu Gaoling. Did he want to slap the empire naked in the face? Although it was not stated explicitly, some of the top figures in the wilderness forces did not know that the Ling Kingdom was covered by the empire.

If it weren't for the backing support of the Empire, how could a popular mining area like Lu Gaoling have been controlled by the weak Ling Kingdom (To be continued.)
