Realm of Power

"Just being an Aden nobleman shouldn't be enough for His Majesty the God of War, who can calmly deal with 700,000 coalition troops, to have such a reaction, right?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Parstina's mouth, and she picked up the wine glass on the table. He brought it to his mouth, took a sip with his soft red lips, and then placed it gently on the table. The sunlight cast from the window shone on the red wine ring. The wine glass was rippling, and there was only one guest on the second floor of the empty hotel. Parscina still didn't know how important the news she brought was to the current Port of Hérault, but when she saw the expression on the other side, her face had changed. The emperor of the empire also vaguely felt that something was wrong. His smiling face disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Parstina nodded and asked cautiously. The fat man's face was a little scary, even gloomy. The last time he saw such a face was when the fat man faced the rebellion planned by the south of the temple. That time, the first Once the royal power was replaced by the divine power, the first person was selected from among the common people of Salander. The saint, who was a commoner, used the power of secular kingship to completely end the theocratic era of the Sky Temple, causing the Sky Temple to completely lose the capital to confront the empire and become the empire's most important tool for knowledge dissemination and governance. And this time, Pa Erschina already had a premonition that something terrible must have happened.

"No, you didn't say anything wrong. On the contrary, your discovery is of vital value to the empire."

The fat man took a deep breath and apologized to Palstina. His solemn face softened a little. "An Aden noble can't scare me yet, but if the Ero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden secretly join forces, it might be possible now." There are 200,000 Aero troops moving along the East Karabon Mountains towards the capital of Aero Kingdom like a sea wave. Come here, once the National Army of the Order suddenly launches an attack from the side while they are fighting, no matter how good the National Army of the Order is in fighting, the only way is for the whole army to collapse. When the time comes, don’t tell me that you and I want to have a good time in the Port of Hérault. My wish to talk freely was in vain, and the prosperous Port of Hérault in front of me would turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!”

"That can't be the case. Even if the national army of the Order is defeated, why will it affect Port Hérault!"

Parstina's delicate body trembled slightly and her lips opened slightly. Although it had only been more than ten days since she arrived at the Port of Hérault, this period of time was exactly the time when the religious army was storming the capital of Hérault. Even if It was the Port of Hérault, a hundred miles away, and all kinds of news were flying all over the place. Naturally, Palstina heard some of it.

"Because this time the national army of the Order was able to break through the outskirts of the capital of Héro in one fell swoop, the empire gave considerable support. Once the Héro army wins, they will not let Héro port go." The fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head, supporting. The Order State is a national decision of the Empire, and he is not willing to explain it here.

"That's it, I understand."

"But I think that since His Majesty has arrived at the Port of Hérault, he should be fully prepared and will not just sit back and watch the Port of Hérault fall into war, right?"

There was an expression of secret relief on Parstina's pretty and pale face. She seemed to think that when the emperor came to the Port of Hérault, he must have brought a large army. As an avid astronomy researcher, she was determined to write down a book. This woman, who has the most complete geographical and ecological survey on the entire continent under the sky, specially came to Port Hérault this time in addition to holding a new spiritual prayer. In addition, she also came to the Hérault region to inspect the local environment, and one of her goals was to cross the East Capon Mountain in the central and eastern part of the Hérault, a huge mountain range that spreads for thousands of miles, like a curved eyebrow. , the closest distance to the Port of Hérault is only fifty miles, and Palstina has already made the decision to go take a look tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it. This is not an army of two thousand or twenty thousand eros, but two hundred thousand."

"Frankly speaking, the reason why I came to Port Hérault this time was entirely because I received the news that my mentor was in Port Hérault. Originally it was just a precaution, but now I am even more sure that my mentor should leave Port Hérault with me immediately." The fat man looked embarrassed. He shrugged his shoulders, stood up from his seat, came to the window with his eyes like knives, and said coldly

"Any strategy must be based on what is known. No one is a real god. It is impossible to wave a hand casually like the legend, and let the 200,000-strong army of Eero be wiped out. This time in the capital of Eero It can be said that the overall situation of the battle has been decided. If it was previously thought that the Ero army took the initiative to fight out of the royal capital or it was an accident, then it can now be definitely believed that this was not a sudden move, but a truly coordinated effort. A decisive blow, and now the religious legion has been He was nailed to Lutia Fort, and he was completely unprepared for the 200,000 eros of the frontier troops who were coming from the side. It is conceivable that when the two armies were fighting in Lutia Fort, countless eros suddenly The Luo army swooped in from the east, and the national army of the religious group What else could he do but flee immediately! The King of Hérault, who was already on the verge of bankruptcy, could not afford to reward the soldiers, so the Port of Hérault, which was rich and under the management of the empire, was undoubtedly the best thing that King Hérault promised to give to the soldiers after the war. Just a trophy”

"Spoils of war. I didn't expect that His Majesty would use such adjectives to describe the Port of Hérault under his rule!" Parstina's pretty face was cold and her body swayed. Parr, who had experienced the tragic situation when the Normans invaded Flanders, How could Stina not know the meaning of the trophy? She could no longer maintain her composure and elegance, her face was as pale as paper, looking at the flow of people coming and going outside the window with flickering eyes, looking at the enthusiastic smiling faces in the store, the travelers driving the caravans, clanking, clanging, and the newly completed eastern branch could be heard outside the window. The melodious bells ringing in the temple, everything is so peaceful and shrouded in the current warm golden sunshine,

"This is a port managed by the empire. Shouldn't the empire send troops to rescue him?" Parstina looked at the fat man with a look of unwillingness.

"The empire's garrison at the Port of Hérault does not exceed 5,000 people, and it is not a real front-line combat force. Even if it has some rudimentary city defense projects, it is still unable to withstand the onslaught of the huge Hérault army," the fat man replied with a calm face. , indicating that this is simply a dead end. The bounty on both sides is huge, and there is no possibility of a confrontation. Even if a small force is urgently invested, it will only fill up the port in vain and add a few more casualties. ,

The only thing that can be done now is to order the nearby Imperial Navy fleet to start evacuating the Imperial personnel in the Port of Hérault. "In fact, it is not completely impossible to save the people in the Port of Hérault, as long as they leave the scope of the Port of Hérault, I believe that the Hérault army I have no intention of launching a large-scale manhunt. I’ll wait until everything calms down before returning to Port Hérault!”

"As far as I know, the main force of the Imperial Fleet is in the Eero Sea. If there are 10,000 to 20,000 Imperial regular troops to cooperate with the Imperial Navy Fleet, I believe Eero would not dare..."

"I can't risk the lives of tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers!"

"I understand, I was too self-righteous. I always thought that although you have a reputation for cruelty, you actually care about the people at heart. But I found that I was wrong. You are a cold-blooded and ruthless king." Parstina His face turned red. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stood up. He bowed in a priest's robe and saluted, and said in a cold voice, "Maybe this is my fate. I'm sorry to disappoint Leia." Sorry, your trip to Port Hérault was in vain. I have decided not to leave Port Hérault for the time being. Although I know it is dangerous, I will try my best to save everyone here and fulfill the duties of a sky priest. Even if it ends up becoming one of the so-called trophies!" Parstina glanced at the fat man, turned around and walked down the stairs, walking out of the Swan Dance Hotel with a look of absolute despair!

"You are despised. Would you rather choose this most difficult and thankless road than beg me?" The fat man watched Parstina disappear at the door. He could only smile bitterly in his heart and wanted to take her away directly. It's hard for the stubborn Palstina, so I told this most difficult method, hoping to make Palstina overcome the difficulties. Retreat, but I didn’t expect Parstina to be so determined to ask these people to leave the Port of Hérault. In other words, these people’s industrial wealth is in the Port of Hérault, and now she wants everyone to leave the Port of Hérault just based on a guess. Luo Gang, I'm afraid that even Parstina, as the Grand Master of the Sky Temple, will still be scolded as a lunatic by everyone!

The fat man took a deep breath. Instructor Parstina staked his entire body in Port Elero. What else could he do? Moreover, he used the blood of 300,000 people in Port Elero in exchange for the empire's excuse to send troops to Elero. , although the strategy is undoubtedly impeccable, but can he really sit back and watch 300,000 people under the empire's management being slaughtered and remain indifferent? As a king, he may be cold-blooded, but since he is among these 300,000 people in Port Héro, how can he issue such a ruthless order? His fingers clenched into fists, and the bursts of stinging pain from his palms calmed down his confused mind. When did he start to become so cold and arrogant? When faced with the menacing 700,000 Southern Allied Forces, he was not He fought as he was told, and what he faced now was an exhausted frontier army of 200,000 eros that had traveled a long distance. If the opponent has undergone complete repairs and waited for the troops from the front and rear to arrive one after another, it can be treated as a combat force of 200,000. However, if it has not been repaired, it will be thrown into the brutal strangulation with the National Army of the Order intermittently all the way. The 200,000 A combat power of at most one hundred thousand would be considered good. After a forceful attack on the national army of the Order, how much combat power is left?

"Pass my order. The main force of the Imperial Navy fleet will assemble towards the Port of Hérault. At the same time, I order Feishan's troops to begin crossing the sea with all their strength. Within three days, I will see Varisien standing in front of me!" the fat man's cold voice said. Showing a strong fighting spirit, Parstina's contempt touched the hidden pride in his heart,

In Lutia's Fort, the National Army of the Order and the Army of Eero have gathered to a considerable extent. Since the fierce confrontation on the first day, both sides paid tens of thousands of casualties. After realizing that the main force of the capital of Eero has actually After being dragged out to fight with her in Lutia Castle, Pope Putamia suspended the attack on Lutia Castle. attack, I have to admit that the Eero Army's proactive attack also disrupted the attack rhythm of the Order Army. The current situation is like two snakes entangled with each other. The Order Army trapped Lutiazi. Fort, while the Hérault Army formed another line outside the encirclement line of the Legion Army, which looked full of funny feeling.

"Ero's troop strength has exceeded 87,000. Just yesterday afternoon, four infantry regiments were mobilized in an attempt to approach the besieged Lutia Fort from the right line, but they were all blocked by our army. The obstruction was just a slight collision. It can be seen that Erault is testing our army to surround the Lutiya sub-fort. The weakness of the line, but it is more likely that the opponent is paralyzing us." A General Ayrault stood in the army camp with a solemn face and said to a red line drawn on the map. "And the opponent dug a large number of pits for use. To defend yourself, even if the thunder god is used, the shake it can cause is minimal."

"Jacquettede, you always say that the Eros want to use Lutia's fort to completely drag us here, and then use their inferior troops to surprise us. This ridiculous conclusion has delayed us in vain. Two days!" A general interjected. This feeling of mutual restraint made the generals of the religious sect who had already gained the upper hand very unhappy.

"Your Highness the Pope, I also know that this conclusion is ridiculous, but it is a clear situation in front of me. Although I don't know what the Elo people want to do, my intuition tells me that the Elo people are very concerned about rescuing Lutiya. Bao was not interested, but he We still choose to fight with our army..." The general standing in front of the map took a deep breath and turned to the general. Blue armor, sitting like a Valkyrie Pope Putamia, who was staring at the map on the table, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Highness, this is the first time I have encountered such a strange battle situation in the more than thirty battles I have experienced in my life. Although the Ero army is now severely weakened, , but that disease The dying Elosha Lion is still recognized as a master of tactics. Since he has placed his last trump card in Lutia Castle and used this last battle to achieve the glory that is about to return to the dead, he will definitely not be what he sees in front of him. It’s so easy to see!”

"Grand Knight Captain Jacques Teide, I feel very confident that you can personally come to help in the battle. As the most experienced general in the Order, I believe that your judgment must be correct, but an army of hundreds of thousands cannot always If this delay continues, I'm sorry, but I will have to issue orders that are not in line with your views." Pope Putamia frowned for more than ten seconds, then walked slowly to the front of the map, and clicked on the location of Lutia's Fort on the map with her slender fingers. "No matter what the Erro people want to do, but I believe that as long as we lift the lid of Lutiya Castle, we can see the true thoughts of the Erosa lion."

"Your Highness the Pope, a person who claims to be your old friend is asking to see you." Just when Putamia's beautiful face showed a hint of ferocity, a knight of the order hurriedly walked in holding something.
