Realm of Power

In the light blue winter sky, birds are flying, and the sun shines down from the haze of clouds, forming a layer of light and shadow flowing on the earth. Under this layer of dream-like light and shadow, there is a black army of Eero The queue marched towards Port Hérault, the battle flags fluttering in the wind, and the heavy footsteps echoed from the earth. The Eastern Army of 100,000 Erault rolled in like a red tide with the force of defeating the Order Army. The sharp spears were moving like a forest. The marching queues were like red lines dividing the earth. The attack and defense of the Port of Erault The battle, as the last battle before the collapse of the Ero Empire, showed a scene of mourning troops overwhelming the city from the beginning.

Countless Eero infantrymen wearing red armor poured down like a river from the sky, and smoke and dust rose wherever they passed.

"Go forward, the blood debt must be paid with blood. We will use the Port of Hérault to avenge His Majesty the Emperor!"

"They despicably attacked the emperor's praetorian guard formation, and used despicable means to kill the brave cavalry troops. Now they only dare to hide in the Port of Hérault. These cowards do not dare to fight with us at all!" the officers encouraged! He suppressed the morale of the soldiers and scolded the Imperial Army for its despicable methods. There was no trace of the aboveboardness that a soldier should have. It was as if the Imperial Army would collapse on its own as long as the Eero army appeared outside the Port of Eero.

"Capture the Port of Hérault, and the entire army will be free for three days!"

The order issued by the Legion Headquarters made all the Eero soldiers' eyes turn red.

"Did you hear that, you can have three days as long as you like!"

"Three days, that's the golden port of Elo. Even if it's just one hour, we'll make a lot of money!"

"Go at full speed, why are you still dawdling!"

"What, are you hungry? You haven't eaten since last night, so what else can you eat? The capture of Port Hérault means nothing!"

These Eastern Frontier Army soldiers, who were ordered to come all the way from the Eastern Front thousands of miles away, arrived at the capital of Aero after a long and dusty journey. They originally expected to receive a reward after rescuing the capital, but they knew they had just arrived. Outside the royal capital, I didn’t even see His Majesty the Emperor, and I suddenly found myself in the awkward position of dying in battle together with the entire army due to the slow march.

The emperor died like this, what a big deal! The Eastern Army attacked the religious army with a mournful force. In fact, they were not mourning the death of the emperor, but because the journey was too hard and they actually lost money. Let alone expect any reward now, I'm afraid. It would be nice not to be scolded by the whole Ero.

But now, with such an unimaginable piece of fat in front of him, the military morale is greatly boosted! As the empire's largest trading port in the south of Obarro, the Port of Hérault is almost the center where merchants from the entire south gather. It is said that the transaction flow alone accounts for hundreds of thousands of imperial gold every day. It has the reputation of being a port made of gold. The Legion Department is laissez-faire In three days, if you haven’t made a huge fortune, everything will be worth it.

In this case, even if it is known that the cavalry unit has suffered a devastating blow, the morale of the army is still not shaken. The Ayrault army is still essentially infantry as the main force of combat, and is not very dependent on the cavalry. In addition, the information deliberately modified by the upper management , the death of the five thousand eros light cavalry had little impact on the 100,000 eros Eastern Army. On the contrary, it made many infantrymen feel happy that there were 5,000 fewer people to share the spoils with them.

There is nothing you can do about it. Although they all belong to the eastern frontier army of Hérault, the treatment of the cavalry is obviously much better than that of ordinary infantry. And this time, coming thousands of miles away, the cavalry came on horseback. It was very relaxed. The infantry walked on the soles of their feet. Not only did they need to carry food, they also needed to carry heavy armor. The infantry would inevitably have complaints about the cavalry.

Three huge balloons fly in the sky in the direction of Port Hérault

Even from a long distance away, the three strange balls floating in the air were enough to make the eyes of Kablin, the commander of the Eastern Front Army of Eero, flash in the eyes. The generals of the Eastern Army of Eero were all in high spirits. They captured from The General of the Order State received unexpected news that the Empire's Falcon Emperor was in Port Hérault, and the Empire's total strength in Port Hérault was only 30,000 cavalry.

The command of the Eastern Army of Hérault initially hesitated after receiving the news, but the destruction of the five thousand light cavalry who went to pursue it seemed to further confirm the news. If the Emperor was not in Port Hérault, how could the Imperial Army have done so? Are you so worried about the Hérault light cavalry approaching the Port of Hérault?

"Sir, it seems that the news is indeed reliable. It seems to be something called a balloon by the Imperial Army. It is also a highly confidential weapon in the Empire. I have seen it on the battlefield in Istan! According to the Port of Hérault , is definitely not worthy of such a thing, unless there is an extremely important person in the Port of Hérault who can bring this kind of thing!" A Hérault general pointed an excited finger at the three black spots in the sky in the distance,

"You mean, the Emperor of the Empire?" Kablin's eyes flashed

The generals behind them immediately fell silent and pricked up their ears. For them, the commanding officers of the Eero East Army, such an opportunity to wash away their own shame represented a great temptation. You know, even if they defeated the cult, The regiment rescued Eero from danger The siege of the royal capital still cannot make up for the cruel fact that Emperor Aero died in Lutia Castle. Unless they can achieve a truly huge victory, they can wash away this shame with the death of an equally important figure from the enemy. Okay, and the Emperor of the Empire is undoubtedly the best among these candidates.

This kind of opportunity is right in front of you, you can't miss it, you have to fight to the death! Just being able to capture His Majesty the Imperial Falcon Emperor, who is known as the God of War, is enough to make all southern soldiers feel proud. He is a powerful figure who single-handedly defeated 700,000 southern coalition forces. He is also the leader of the entire Obarro countries in the north of the Inland Sea. The co-lord, the King of kings!

"Even if he is not the emperor of the empire, he is at least a very important official in the imperial military. If we can capture him, he will definitely be able to wash away our shame even more than Pope Potamia." The face of General Eero turned red with excitement. , said categorically,

"Yes, even if he is not the emperor of the empire, someone who can mobilize 30,000 imperial cavalry should at least be at the level of a legion commander!"

The sunshine that had been a little brighter at noon was now hidden behind the clouds. There are strange balls floating in the sky. The Hérault Eastern Army stopped outside the port of Hérault. Looking around, there is a mass of black heads everywhere, with flags like a sea and spearheads like a forest. As the number of people continues to increase, they spread out to the left and right wings.

The outline of Port Hérault has become increasingly clear, with houses clustered next to each other and a huge blue dome building in the center of the city, bang! clang! ! clang! The sound of the city clock echoed from a distance. Kabulin couldn't help but tighten his grip on the reins of the war horse. He could hear the sound of his heartbeat racing in his body.

"Everyone, no matter how good the imperial army is in fighting, it will be very difficult to defend the Port of Hérault in the face of a strong attack with more than three times the force."

Kablin did not expect that he would approach Port Héro so easily. He originally thought he would encounter obstacles. After all, the Imperial Cavalry ranked first in field battles, which was the consensus of the entire Obarro, so he had been on guard against the 30,000 Imperial Cavalry coming from He fought his way out of the Port of Hérault, but until he could clearly see the ditches and stone barriers outside the Port of Hérault, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Did you think too highly of yourself?"

Kabulin took a deep breath. Port Hérault, which had 30,000 elite imperial cavalry, actually went on the defensive. . . . . . This really made Kablin have the urge to hit the wall. Those were 30,000 imperial cavalry. Just from the fact that they were able to defeat the formation of His Majesty's Imperial Guards, it can be seen that these 30,000 imperial cavalry are real. The elite, on the plain terrain in front of them, simply cannot be eliminated in an organized manner. But now, the 30,000 imperial cavalry have given up their mobility and roamed, and are used as 30,000 infantry to defend the Port of Hérault. This is like tying their hands and feet and waiting for death. What a difference!

The Imperial Army commander who can issue such an order is a complete newcomer on the battlefield!

He turned to the generals behind him, with a ferocious smile on his lips, "You are all experienced generals of our eastern frontier army of Erro. ​​Are you still afraid of the 30,000 imperial cavalry who are temporarily used as infantry? You are all You know, cavalry and infantry are two completely different ways of fighting. The imperial commander didn’t even understand this. Are we bullying the newcomers?”

""Ha ha! "

The generals burst into laughter

"Okay, even if we win without force, we have to fight." Kabulin waved his hand. "Because our honor and disgrace depend on this move. The big man from the empire in the port may choose to fight when the battle situation is unfavorable." If we evacuate Port Hérault, all our efforts will be wasted, so we must! Use a thunderous attack to break through the Port of Hérault as quickly as possible, especially control the Port of Hérault. Only in this way can we get rid of this whirlpool. Everyone's destiny is now connected. Only I Only by working together can we achieve such brilliant results! "

"Yes, sir!" the generals of the Eero East Army responded in unison.

"Then, let's start!" Kablin raised his hand

"All troops, come forward!" The voices conveying orders one after another were like a red wave starting to move forward, and thunderous footsteps suddenly exploded on the ground!

"Your Highness, the Eros are coming up!" A Templar knight walked into the temporary house with a heavy face. Putamia came to the window with a pale face, wanting to see the scene outside, but other The house blocked the view here, but in Putamia's mind, the impact of a hundred thousand troops was like a wave of people rolling and killing people, and the sound of people fighting came with the wind, and the ground was shaking slightly. At this moment,

"Crossbow, shoot!" A stern commanding voice was like a sudden opening of huge wings, and there was a burst of taut sound of bowstrings in an instant, and countless cold lights suddenly filled the sky, so densely packed. Even the bright sunshine dimmed at this moment, and headed straight outside the big port like a large black cloud.

"It's the Imperial Crossbow!" This is not the first time that Putamia has seen the power of the Imperial Crossbow. Just last night, she saw with her own eyes how the Eero Light Cavalry, known as the Wind Cavalry, was killed by the Imperial Cavalry with a crossbow. Absolutely, but in view of the magnificent scene of the imperial crossbow volley, I still couldn't help but clench my fingers together as they turned white.

"Let's go to the battlefield and see how the Imperial Army fights!" Putamia turned around decisively.

On the defensive line outside the port of Hérault,

The Erro infantrymen who pressed forward across the entire line roared at the top of their lungs. Many soldiers were hit by the terrible rain of arrows on the dusty and bloody ground. The essence of the empire's sophisticated military industry, the sharp Mitsubishi arrows of the empire's front-line combat troops, Just like tearing apart cardboard, the armor of the Erro infantry was torn apart. Penetrating into their flesh and blood, the arrow clusters came so suddenly that they immediately rolled on their backs. Smoke and blood exploded in front of them. They fell to their knees on the ground. The bodies hit by the arrows jolted and trembled, and countless arrow clusters were shot into the flesh. The tear caused by it caused a large pool of blood to be squeezed out from the fallen corpse and flowed along the ground.

"Go forward, rush over!" After a group of tumbling Erro soldiers, more Erro soldiers rushed up like a tide. Facing the sharp imperial crossbows, they moved forward tragically, and were cut into blood all over the sky by countless arrow clusters. rain,

"My lord, the casualties of our army..."

The adjutant looked at Kablin, whose face was a little livid. No one could have imagined that the density of the imperial crossbows could reach such a level, and the crossbow's penetration power into armor also surprised Kablin. This man had been squatting on the eastern border for twenty years. Having been commander of Aero for many years, he knows more about the imperial army from military reports. This is the first time for a real battle.

The attack line of 100,000 people could not be shaken by a slight setback. The Erro infantry fell one by one, and the other soldiers in the queue moved straight forward. The dense crowds are surging. Anyone in such a scene will no longer be able to follow him or her in life and death. Even if you don't want to move forward, you will be pushed by the people around you. The shortcomings of not having siege equipment are revealed at this moment. If they had siege equipment, the casualties of the Eero army would be reduced very little, but now, they can only use human lives to fill the gap.

"Onward, only forward!"

This huge attack line can be said to be overwhelming, almost filling the entire perimeter of the Port of Hérault. Countless Hérault soldiers are running. In all areas where the land can be seen, piles of Hérault infantry are holding shields in their hands. Rushing over with long swords waving, the ship-borne infantry from the Imperial Navy holding heavy shields and spears, with helmet tops as red as flames, pressed down on the metal coverings.

"Heavy guns at the forefront!"

Following an order, Shuashua stood neatly on the front line, and the heavy tower shield as tall as a man slammed into the soil beneath their feet, artificially building a metal wall on the soil barrier.

"Pah!" The sound of impact, the roar of weapons hitting the tower shield

"Hold on! Don't mess up!" This is the cry of the Imperial crossbowmen at the top.

On the roofs of the houses in Port Hérault, gray cloths were opened, revealing the metal structure of the Imperial heavy ballistae underneath. The Imperial Navy heavy crossbowmen stared closely at the enemies rushing towards them like a tsunami from the line below. The captain next to them also said: While shouting loudly, "Put it closer and shoot! Move it closer and shoot!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Dozens of long metal wires plunged into the dense group of Erro soldiers at once. It was like being suddenly pushed flat by a large piece of silver sickle. Suddenly a large piece of it trembled and fell. The screams could not be suppressed, and there were people everywhere rolling and falling on the ground. The blood burst out, like a shocking wave of blood.
