Realm of Power

On the front battlefield in Atabi Wetland, the sound of fighting was deafening and earth-shattering.

The cold faces, the collision of two heavy armored cavalry wearing almost the same clothes, the long neighing of the war horses, mixed with the sounds of fierce fighting, it is as if it can break through the clouds and split the sun, and it can stop the Templar Knights from charging to the death. Must also be a Templar, but from the Legion of the Order The Templar Knights on one side had solemn expressions on their faces. They didn't say much when facing their former companions. They just charged forward with their swords firmly in hand, like streams of water flowing into the chaotic whirlpool. Initiate more killings, and more desperate will to die! , mountains of corpses, and blood everywhere. There were dead men and horses, and heavy armored cavalry collided everywhere. The fierce fighting made both sides frown slightly.

They are both Templar knights, but they attack each other because they support different masters. It is a kind of tragedy in itself. What's more, both sides are professional soldiers who have been trained since childhood. The moment they collide with each other, under the sword, it is even worse. Without showing any mercy, I saw in a cloud of smoke and dust, men and horses neighing, and long lances colliding with each other. There was a rattling sound, and the knight's sword in his hand struck the opponent's Wu-shaped shield. Sparks bounced off with a clang, and the heavy Lianjia, with the sound of wind, hit the opponent's shoulder suddenly, even if it was protected by the shoulder armor. It was also dented directly by the beating, and blood exploded like flowers between the bone-chilling heaven and earth.

"kill!"

Some of the Templars who rushed past the blocking array finally collided with the infantry formation under Putamia. Their horses neighed and screamed, and they all fell off their horses like broken sacks. Wave after wave of impact, Like waves of black tide surging, it seems that it is going to sweep away and destroy everything in front of you!

"Asshole, is this guy Raghu also crazy?'

A Templar Commander under Putamia looked with red eyes at an enemy who was almost suicidal. He was hit by the raised spear array of the infantry formation, and even men and horses penetrated in front of the array, bleeding. explode,

Now anyone who is not a fool can see that these Templars on the side of the Order Army are obviously deliberately seeking death. They don't even bother to wave their weapons. They just move forward with their heads held high.

Countless arrows flew in, and the Templars' horses were running wildly after being hit by arrows. The long line forced forward soon turned into an overburdened concave arc, and the scale of the battle was obviously tilted towards Puda. On Mia's side, the Templar knights who were shot by arrows fought desperately to maintain their final dignity. They got up from the ground covered in blood, holding cross swords in their hands, and charged toward the military formation in front of them with staggering steps. As we walked, they fell down one after another.

Such a weird scene made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield seem weird. "These guys are here to die!" "Who says otherwise? They just don't care and just want to rush up!" The soldiers in front of the Temple Army said lowly. They muttered, "The army is firing, no talking!" The officers yelled loudly, "These guys really went to die on purpose! They are really loyal to Putamia."

Looking away from the tragic battlefield ahead, the woman who looked almost exactly like Potamia lightly touched her hair on her forehead, her beautiful lips slightly upward, and murmured in a low voice, "I don't know what Potamia is seeing at this moment." I believe it must be very interesting to see what my most loyal subordinates look like when they meet like this!"

A middle-aged general next to the woman said with an ugly expression, "Your Highness, these Templar Knights are the most powerful warriors of the Order. There is no doubt about their loyalty to the Order. If they continue to look like this, I am afraid they will all be killed." The army was destroyed," Asin Ya, I know you are friends with many of them, but don’t forget that you are the leader of my Skitarii Corps. You should know that if you cannot hold the sharp sword of the Knights Templar, you can still hold it in your hands. It is better to break it on the spot to avoid hurting ourselves! "The woman looked at the middle-aged general with a pretty face and indifference. She turned a blind eye to the loss of the Templar Knights in front and had no intention of rescuing. "But they are also loyal to His Highness..." Axinya's face was pale and she wanted to defend herself. "Enough!" "A trace of anger showed on the woman's beautiful face, her chest heaved, and she waved her hand towards Asinya, interrupting Asinya to continue speaking. "If they are really loyal to me, then they should carry that The head of a woman comes to see me, if I kill Without that woman, it is their duty to die in battle. "His Highness's consideration is not wrong. These Potamia's henchmen are poison that may be fatal at any time. Now that Putamia is on the opposite side, who can guarantee that these saints will be killed?" The Knights of the Temple will not suddenly turn against you! And as His Highness's loyal knights, it is their honor to be able to die for His Highness in the end! Captain Axinya, what are your intentions for protecting them like this?" Another general of the religious group with a thin body and a cold face said coldly.

"but……"

Axinya wanted to continue speaking. Looking at the woman's outstretched hand, her lips trembled. She knew that no one would be willing to listen to what she said at this time. Let these former Putamia's old troops wait. It is the decision of the Presbyterian Council to go to war. The families of these Templar Knights are in the hands of the Order. There is no possibility that these Templar Knights will go back on their words.

Every Templar is a valuable asset of the order, and they are all loyal and brave soldiers. Now because of this papal dispute, they are involved in this dispute, and just sit and watch them fight each other to death. As a former colleague, Asin Ya really can’t stand it! He couldn't help but look away and said in a solemn voice, "Your Highness, the most elite combat force under Potamia's command has been held back. If all the Templar Knights are killed in the battle, Putamia will notice the decline in our military strength." Difference, when the time comes, they will inevitably choose to evacuate. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. Please seize this opportunity, and order the dispatch of infantry. Be sure to hold off Potamia before the two wings encircle her, so that there is no chance of her escaping! "

After hearing Asinya's words, the woman was silent for a while. Although Asinya had selfish motives, she was not completely nonsense. Now Putamia's attention is on the Templars. Once the dust falls, she will immediately find out. The situation here is not right. Once Putamia escapes from the big cage of Atabi Wetland, it will be even more difficult to capture Putamia alive! It can still be judged which one is more serious. She raised her hand with a cold expression and said from her ruddy and attractive mouth, "In this case, just give them a little mercy. Give them the order and the infantry will advance!"

"Infantry, advance!"

"Everyone is up and moving forward!"

The running messenger cavalry flew from the direction of the formation to the two wings. On the side of the religious regiment, just as the smoke and dust from the front were rising, various military flags also appeared behind, like the outline of a large forest that was constantly squirming. The formations were spread out, and there was a sea of ​​people. The military flags rolled across the entire land, and the spear phalanxes stood up neatly. The flags were as turbulent as the waves of the sea, and the army was in full bloom. Shockingly, as the main formation holding back Putamia, this time the religious army came out in full force. The original number of the religious army, which only numbered more than 20,000, was pieced together here and there, and completely destroyed the Holy City. The weapon inventory has been emptied, and a total of 50,000 people have been gathered. The entire military force hundreds of miles away from the Holy City has gathered here. "Where did the Holy City get such a large number of troops?"

The generals of the Temple Army on the opposite side didn't blink when they saw it. They looked at each other subconsciously. They were all soldiers of the Order State. They didn't know how many troops the Holy City had?

The Holy City generally consists of the headquarters of the Knights Templar and the 20,000 Skitarii.

When the Knights Templar were at their peak, there were fifteen thousand Templar Knights, but that refers to all the Templar Knights in the Kingdom of the Order, not just the Holy City. During the Civil War, the Knights Templar came out in full force. , but the result was that two great knight captains were killed in the battle, and the Templar knights were beaten to pieces by the Imperial cavalry. Not to mention more than half of the battle losses, the most tragic thing was that almost all the auxiliary light cavalry were killed in the battle.

As a result, the combat power of the Templar Order dropped sharply, because the 5,000 Templar Knights could supplement it, but it was difficult to supplement the 20,000 auxiliary light cavalry. The Order State was not engaged in production and suppressed merchant trade, so finance and taxation It is also low. Twenty thousand high-quality war horses and the weapons they are equipped with are already quite a heavy financial expenditure for the Order State, which does not engage in trade. In addition, Pudamia suddenly went to war against the Eero Empire. , the Holy City is even more depleted of financial resources, and the idea of ​​replenishing the auxiliary cavalry is far away. Currently, about half of the Knights Templar are in the Holy City, and the remaining half have either died in the north of Hérault, or are in the Most of the troops under Putamia's command were already missing, and they were divided into two because of the two popes. Therefore, the strength of the Holy City in the eyes of the generals was the 20,000 Skitarii stationed in the Holy City.

But in front of them, the generals' eyes were fixed on the front where the noise and waves were shaking. It was really difficult to connect with the motley crew of skitarii. At this moment, even a blind man could feel the number of enemies from the cold wind blowing from the opposite side. It is absolutely impossible for the army to have only 20,000 troops as the intelligence said.

Potamia's two embroidered eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the fingers holding the reins of the war horse were clenched, and they were already pale and blue. Many of the Templar knights who committed suicide were her most loyal subordinates, but at this moment, she But he could only choose to let them die with dignity, and he had to pretend to have an expression of indifference on his face. You don't need to think about it to know that these Templar knights have already "Has been seized and threatened by the Holy City side, most likely her family members." Even if the opponent's military strength far exceeds the 20,000 people reported in the intelligence, we still have the advantage in terms of military strength. This sister of mine is so obsessed with success. Sure enough, it still hasn’t changed. I really thought that as long as there were more people, it would be the winner. It’s ridiculous. We were the ones who killed Emperor Aero.”

"Ha ha"

Hearing His Highness the Pope's words, the generals burst into laughter. Yes, they did not have the slightest fear when facing an army of 200,000 eros. But now this is nothing. They were ridiculed by Potamia's half-truth and half-false words. , some of the nervousness I had just now is gone.

"Okay, everyone, it's time for the other side to see what is the real trump card of our Temple Army!"

Putamia raised her hands to the generals behind her and said with a smile. As the order was issued, there was a sound of rollers crushing the ground. Amidst the bursts of neat shouts, the black Thor muzzle came from Putami. Appeared in the gap between Ya's main formation, these bulky Imperial Thundergods were flanked by two The huge wooden wheel crushed deeply into the soft soil underfoot. The opponent wanted to drag Potamia to death. Potamia also believed that she had the trump card in her hand. The empire supported Potamia's five The Ten Thunder Gods did not play a big role in the attack on the capital of Aero, but now they have become an important bargaining chip in the balance.

"Target, two hundred meters ahead!"

With a loud sound, the muzzles of the fifty Thor cannons began to slowly rise towards the same height. The black muzzles were raised. The firing team members took out the Thor bombs from the barrel placed next to them. The flag bearer standing on the side Raising the flag in her hand high, the air around her became silent, and Putamia's hand held the riding crop even harder,

Although these thunder god shooters trained by the empire are not yet proficient, they already have the preliminary ability to operate and shoot. What they lack is shooting experience. There is no way to do this. The empire gives Putamia every A Thunder God bomb costs money, and the price is high. That is to say, Pudamia just made a fortune in the capital of Elro, so she can be so wealthy and equip each Thunder God with a hundred Thunder God bombs." go ahead!"

The Crusaders in front were not aware of the Thunder God who was aiming at them. On the contrary, the retreating Templar Knights boosted their morale even more. They began to run faster and pounced towards Potamia like a landslide and tsunami. Coming, the Temple troops stood silently, rows of spears raised. , the tip of the gun at the front was dazzling with cold light, "Pap, crack", tens of thousands of feet stepped hard on the mud in front of Jin's eyes, splashing up a large piece of white water spray, because at the same time they crowded in front of the white line formed on the edge, bringing up the ground. The soil turned the ground under our feet into a ball of mud, and the military flag fluttered in the wind.

"Preparations are complete, Your Highness." From the position of the Thor artillery array, the signal of preparations being completed came.

Potamia stared at the graceful figure in papal attire in front of her, with a cold look of disdain on her lips. She raised the scepter in her hand high, and there was a "rumbling" sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and the red firelight came from the God of Thunder. The muzzle of the gun sprayed out violently, and white smoke filled the air. In the middle, one sharp whistling sound after another, under the blank gaze from the opposite side, quickly tore the sky between the two armies. Dozens of things like shooting stars with long black tails were trailing, as if they were densely packed with sparrows rising into the sky. The block quickly flew into the air. It started to fall in mid-air. "What?" The woman opposite and the generals under her command were stunned for a moment. The next second, boom, each light group exploded in the group of Crusaders, as if they were hit by a pair of The invisible hand suddenly opened the ground, and the red fire that exploded instantly dyed her retinas red.
