Realm of Power

The door of the camp was closed behind her again. Pope Putamia couldn't help but take a deep breath after entering the camp. In the center of the camp was a huge red bonfire, which was constantly sending out hot air to the surroundings. The reflection of the bonfire Below, an imperial general wearing black heavy armor stands in front of the bonfire. While waiting, the imperial officer leading the way saluted respectfully in front of the general. I don’t know what he said. This imperial general has a rugged appearance. Although he is not very tall, his long hands and feet give people a feeling of extreme agility. On both sides of the imperial general, there was a team of black armored cavalry.

The metallic luster of the black armor showed a dark red color under the reflection of the bonfire. The bonfire was blazing, not only the heat, but also the smell of blood was spreading. This was a phenomenon seen in people who had recently been killed on a large scale. It was the smell of the human blood splattered on the armor melting and evaporating before the heat of the campfire.

Such a strong smell of blood is enough to show that these black-armored cavalry have killed many people in the past few days!

After hearing the report of the imperial officer, the imperial general raised his head and looked here. With a murderous gaze that was honed by many killings on the battlefield, Putamia suddenly felt a pressure on her face. , it seems that what he is facing is not a person, but a ferocious beast that is sizing up its prey, following The twenty-odd Templar knights behind Putamia also reacted. Their bodies trembled slightly unconsciously, and the hands holding the reins of the war horse began to sweat nervously. A Templar knight with long hands Pressing the knight's sword, he was extremely nervous and stood directly in front of Potamia. "Is this the Templar of the Order State?"

The Imperial General took this situation into his eyes, and his face was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the Templar Knights of the Order to be so careless. It seemed that after a night of chasing and killing, they were already frightened. It was ridiculous that he had arranged such a scene. It was really in vain. Thoughts, the corner of his mouth grinned slightly as if he was mocking himself, and then he continued.

"Your Highness Potamia, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I am Varisien, the governor of Feshan and Istan joint regions of the Empire. I am here to wait for Your Highness on the order of my Majesty. Considering that Your Highness has been working hard all night, I came here specially Someone set up this camp.”

"It's King Destroyer Varisien, the governor of the Feishan and Istan regions of the Empire. I heard that he cut off Emperor Aero's head with his own hands!" As the imperial general said his name, the Templar Knight here was There was an uproar, and the guarding Templar Captain looked nervously and whispered next to Putamia, "It turns out to be Governor Varisien. I am deeply touched by the fact that I can see His Excellency, a famous general from the mainland, here." Feel honored! “

Hearing Varisien's name, Pudamia's pretty face showed a trace of surprise. Varisien, a general under the imperial emperor, was the commander of the imperial army in Feishan and Istan with one person, with 200,000 men under his command. The army is the sword of the empire that the emperor uses to suppress the entire southern Europe Barro. The name Varisien itself has a long history in South Europe Barro. It represents strong strength, and in the battle of Lutia Castle a few days ago, the powerful attack of the imperial cavalry like a rolling tide was obviously the work of this famous imperial general. The two regions of Feishan and Istan are not within the Order State. Your Excellency, as the joint governor of two regions, just in terms of status, he is not actually under the Pope himself!

"If His Highness is really eager to go to Port Hérault, you have to wait until I clear up the uninvited guests!"

Varisien smiled indifferently. His Highness the Pope is really good at pretending. With the original intention of attracting the main force of the Eastern Army of Erro, how could he be willing to spend several hours here in vain? This alone made Varisian Sean was a little impressed, you know. Once the attention of the Erro East Army is not turned, the fighting religious legion army will inevitably be defeated. Every moment and second now is extremely precious to Putamia, but this woman actually has a face on her face. Not showing any signs of anxiety! If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor, I probably wouldn't have thought that this woman was leading hundreds of thousands of Eastern troops towards this direction! "My lord, the prey has entered the corridor!" At this time, an imperial scout galloped into the camp and reined in his horse a dozen meters in front of Varisien.

"What are you going to do, your Excellency? Those are thousands of Eero light cavalry, with elite combat power, and they come and go like the wind!" Putamia said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we have prepared good things for these unfriendly guests. I believe It won't take long for His Highness to be on the road. The camp is safe and His Highness can have a good rest! "Varisien! After getting on the horse, he saluted Putamia and others, turned around and said in a deep voice to the two groups of imperial black-armored cavalry behind him, "You stay here to protect His Highness the Pope. If something unexpected happens, you won't have to see the sun tomorrow." "Yes, sir!" The two teams of imperial black-armored cavalry said in unison, their voices ringing in Pudamiya's ears.

As Varisien left the camp and disappeared into the darkness, the two groups of black-armored cavalry dismounted in unison, skillfully began to unload the bow-like imperial crossbows from their respective horses, and quickly occupied the position on the outer wall of the camp. The gleaming imperial crossbows were exposed from the gap between the wooden rafts. Two groups of imperial cavalry, each with two hundred men, came from behind. There are more than a thousand Imperial crossbows unloaded from the war horses, turning this small camp, which is only fifty or sixty meters long and wide, into a hedgehog. The Imperial crossbows with their bowstrings drawn are neatly and orderly leaning on the wooden rafts. Leave it alone. The crossbows of some imperial soldiers are at their feet. They only need to pick them up to shoot. According to the scale, almost each person is equipped with three crossbows.

"Such a luxurious battle is only possible for the Imperial Army!" a Templar whispered with an angry expression.

Potamia heard a gurgling sound, and then she was stunned to see that in addition to the far greater number of crossbows, there were actually more than twenty metal-framed Imperial heavy ballistae vehicles being pushed down by the Imperial cavalry in unison. Coming up, this scene made Putamia and the Templars collectively stunned. Is this a break? This clearly shows that we must face a storm of attacks.

"I knew there was a problem, bastard, we have become bait again!" A Templar knight smiled bitterly. There is no doubt that the first target of the Eero light cavalry must be the camp in front of him, "Forget it, you Do you really think this is for us to rest? It is obviously It is used to set up positions for these imperial heavy ballistae." A Templar knight next to him sighed. His Royal Highness the Pope wanted to plot against the Imperial Army. The Eero Army plotted against His Royal Highness the Pope, and now His Royal Highness the Pope was plotted against by the Imperial Army. , this chaotic situation makes people feel headache just thinking about it,

Putamia sat in front of the bonfire, blowing the cold wind all night. Although her words were tough, her body was still very honest. She was shivering from the cold. She was still holding on. As for her face, she continued to pay He ran away after three-quarters of his companions When they got here, they no longer cared about face. Putamia's eyes looked around, but in the end she stared at the imperial heavy ballista that perfectly combined the curved beauty and mechanical structure and refused to move, as if It lights up like a light bulb,

This is the Imperial Heavy Ballista. It is indeed a violent murder weapon. How does such an evil thing operate? , who can take such a close look at the imperial heavy ballistae, which is rumored to be indestructible, looking at the entire southern part of Oparo, how many people can there be? The Imperial Heavy Ballistae is an important military weapon in the Imperial Army and is a strictly protected combat unit. Even if they can see the appearance of the Imperial Heavy Ballistae, few know how to operate it and how to shoot. , just like the religious legion has obtained fifty imperial thunder gods, but its use is completely chaotic! Otherwise, how could he have been killed all the way back by Ero's army?

This makes Putamia deeply ashamed

"Isn't this kind of thing just a large bow and arrow? Can it really have that kind of powerful power?" The eyes of the Templar Knights were also full of complex looks. During the Civil War, the Templar Knights were once defeated by the Empire's heavy crossbow. The carnage was so littered with corpses that half of the Templars fought. "Death, the heavy ballistae is also to the point of being ridiculous." It actually uses all-metal heavy arrows. It's no wonder that not only the temple's heavy armor was shattered, but also the body was... "A saint When the knight saw the piles of arrows and crossbows, his face turned pale, obviously thinking of something.

"Boom" a faint sound came from a distance, as if something huge was rolling slowly.

Putamia stood up nervously, and the other Templars also looked outside the camp. They couldn't see anything in the dark night, but intuitively, everyone clearly felt that there was a huge force there. The power rushed towards this side, even suppressing the wind, and the Eero light cavalry began to attack! Can this camp be stopped?

"Whoosh!" A burning rocket traced a red trajectory and flew from the camp towards the distant sky, immediately illuminating some shadows below. They were countless Eero light cavalry swarming like wolves in the night. The scene that came was that the horses' hooves rolled up the dry and hard soil on the ground, and then threw it out heavily. The formation was like an open fan, and the feathers on the top of the helmet were blown back by the wind at the same time. They approached quickly like lightning, and their hands His feet skillfully and powerfully hooked the horse's belly,

The camp in front is not big, only fifty or sixty meters wide. Under the light of the campfire, you can vaguely see the guards running in panic.

clang! clang! files! "The warning bell signaling an enemy attack came from the direction of the camp.

"Capture the Pope alive!"

The squadron leader of the Eero light cavalry who led the team grinned, raised the knight sword in his hand and pointed forward. The Eero light cavalry who followed him were already at full speed. In this case, anything in the way would be trampled by the war horses. Broken, the cavalry rolled into the corridor like a torrent, like a huge rolling dragon. , at this moment, for the Erault light cavalry, it does not matter whether they are exposed or not. For the cavalry, the distance of several hundred meters is the time it takes for the fireball above their heads to flash out. No one will take the fireball to heart. , I heard that the Imperial Army’s fireballs will explode, but what’s the use of having only two? "Pa" The second rocket exploded in the air. At the moment when the fireball's light flashed out, three hundred meters away, the front row of the Eero light cavalry had converged into a huge arrow.

The captain of the Eero light cavalry squadron who led the team had a sinister smile on his lips! Suddenly, he saw more than twenty rays of cold light flying towards him. In a stunned moment, there was a series of sounds of metal exploding. The Eero light cavalry running in front seemed to have suddenly encountered a heavy hammer and was hit. The cold light that flew from the sky was instantly involved, and the target hit first was directly hit. Penetrating, tearing, and the unabated cold light soon shot into the position of the second and third light cavalry. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, fragments of armor were hit in the face, and the war horses neighed tragically and their limbs were broken. The arms were twisted into the air by the cold light, and the head with bulging eyes was full of various expressions of reluctance.

More than twenty rays of cold light intertwined and crushed the front end of the Ero Light Cavalry. It was like a tree branch hit by a storm, and was violently shot down from the warhorse. The body of the Ero Light Cavalry was torn into several pieces by the huge force. Even if it was dead, it still flew back more than ten meters, twisted in an unnatural posture in mid-air and nailed to the ground. Blood and flesh seemed to explode on the horse's back. Both the man and the horse were crushed to pieces in an instant. "It's the Empire Heavy Crossbow Cart, everyone speed up and rush over!"

The Ero Light Cavalry heard the captain's scream and unconsciously dispersed the team. Looking into the distance with strong fear in their eyes, everyone knew that the Empire Heavy Crossbow Cart, which was powered by a powerful spring, was strong enough to penetrate a steel shield within 300 meters. Not to mention the light armor of the light cavalry, even the brave Ero Light Cavalry would unconsciously panic when facing such a weapon. After all, they were all flesh and blood. No matter how strong their willpower was, they could not control the fear instinct of their body!

Two hundred meters

The second batch of heavy crossbows from the camp again knocked down countless Ero light cavalrymen, but for the five thousand Ero cavalrymen, such losses were still within the acceptable range

One hundred meters

"Shoot!" The crossbows from the camp began to fall like a waterfall... The crossbows shot rapidly, and the Ero light cavalrymen were thrown off their horses. The Ero light cavalrymen charged under the arrows, and the front position was only fifty meters away from the camp. On both sides of the corridor of the camp, Varisien, wearing heavy armor, overlooked the entire battlefield in the dark. Behind him, there was a metallic sound of armor leaves hitting each other. The imperial cavalrymen in iron helmets and red tassels were like a long black line. Because of the undulating hills, the Ero light cavalrymen in the low-lying areas could not see the scene behind the hills. If they could see, they would find that the densely packed imperial black armored cavalrymen were pulling towards the corridor, and the imperial battle flags were rustling in the cold wind.
