Realm of Power

"Is there a problem on the two wings? Or is there a problem within the Holy Capital? Tell me, what is going on?" The new pope clenched his fingers, his pretty face turned pale, and immediately asked the cavalryman who brought the news to be taken away. When he reached his horse, he asked in an angry and cold voice:

"What happened to the Holy City? How could it be breached?" The other generals of the Holy City Army also gathered around. This news was so shocking. As the royal capital of the Order Kingdom, the Holy City itself also has considerable defenses. Even if one of Potamia's troops is missing, they cannot capture the Holy City so quickly.

The first thing the new pope thought of was the civil strife in the Holy City, and those who had not given up on Potamia were stirring up the situation. It was ridiculous that those people did not know that the woman they had placed high hopes on, Potamia, was completely gone. If it fails at all, no matter how big the commotion is in the Holy City, what use will it have?

The new pope has secretly decided that when the army returns to the Holy Capital, he must crucify all these bold guys and set them up on both sides of the Blue Waves Avenue across the Holy Capital for everyone to see. The tragic fate of these Diehards of Potamia will let the entire Holy City know who is the real Pope.

The cavalryman panting in front of the new Pope's horse, his body trembling slightly, said anxiously, "Report to His Highness, just early this morning, a Templar Knight Captain and six guards appeared at the gate of the Holy Capital, claiming to have brought His Highness from In response to the order sent back from the front line, the other party also presented the handwriting signed by His Highness and the exclusive heraldic order of the Templar Commander."

The messenger cavalry paused, glanced at the cold new pope, and continued quickly, "The light is unclear in the early morning, and because of the long distance, we cannot inspect the other party's coat of arms. In addition, His Highness's army is indeed fighting in the front. It was normal for the order to be sent back, so the guard officer did not suspect that there was a problem, and there were only a few people on the other side, so they did not pose a threat at all. Guard officer Ji Yeda We ordered the city gate to be opened, but just as we opened the gate of the Holy City to let the Templar into the city, the Templar suddenly drew his sword, killed the gate guard, and seized the city gate. When they were snatching back the city gate, a large number of imperial cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city and swarmed into the Holy Capital. The defenders at the city gate were dispersed, and the imperial army marched in without any resistance..." "Driven in..."

Hearing the words of the messenger cavalry, there was deathly silence all around, and the generals' faces turned ashen. It was the empire, it was the empire that attacked the Holy Capital! "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Although the imperial army landed on the northern coastline last month, its advance has been very slow, and the Holy City has also deployed tens of thousands of troops to block it. Could it be that these imperial troops just spread their wings and flew directly? "Is it possible to come?" A Holy City Army general said fiercely with an unwilling look. "The other party used the Templar Cavalry to The knight came to trick him into opening the city gate, and the Templar was quite familiar with the guard's inspection procedures. I'm afraid he wasn't a temporary one, but a real Templar. "Another general also seemed to have discovered it!" The problem is, but the generals couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the imperial army pouring into the Holy Capital like a tide.

"What an unexpected move to seal the throat with a sword, and let the two sides' combined troops of more than 150,000 fight fiercely, but the other side succeeded with one blow easily." The new pope's delicate body trembled slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face. With expressions of belief, other Holy Capital Army generals also exploded. One Holy Capital Army general sighed, "Now... The main force has already left the Holy Capital. The two thousand Skitarii left behind at the Presbyterian Church are just troops responsible for standing guard on a daily basis. They are not considered to have outstanding combat capabilities. It is conceivable that the elite elites of the Empire will be attacked after they invade the Holy Capital. In front of us, these two thousand skitarii might be wiped out without even getting a blister!"

The new pope asked in a cold voice with a serious expression, "Where is the Presbyterian Church? How are the elders doing?"

At this time, everyone remembered that there was a Presbyterian Church in the Holy City, which was the real core of power in the Order State. They all asked eagerly. No one noticed that the new pope had a strange look on his face. After hearing the three words of the Presbyterian Council, As he was writing, there was a cold look in his eyes. It would be great if all these damn old immortals died! At that time, all the authority of this religious sect country will truly fall into his own hands! Of course, the new pope cannot say this. She was able to replace Putamia because of the Presbyterian Church, and the generals obeyed her orders because of the Presbyterian Council. "The elders were still hiding in the Holy City. When the younger one ran out of the secret passage in the city, three of the twelve elders of the Presbyterian Council had already been captured alive by the imperial army in the city. The remaining elders probably won't be able to hold on for long!" The messenger cavalry smiled helplessly and replied in a solemn voice, "Listen Three elders have been captured alive by the empire, and the generals are beginning to feel uneasy like ants on a hot pot. The Presbyterian Council is the de facto ruler of the Order State. Once the Empire completely wipes out the Presbyterian Council, then even here How much meaning does victory have? At this time, who is still in the mood to continue fighting?

"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Please order the army to return to the Holy Capital immediately!"

"Your Highness, please return to the army immediately. The imperial army traveled a long distance to raid the Holy Capital. Although they succeeded, their foothold must not be stable at this moment. As long as our army returns to the Holy Capital, the imperial army will definitely flee. Once the imperial army is allowed to gain a firm foothold, according to the The imperial army has the strongest combat power in the world to defend the city, and our army will never be able to recapture the Holy Capital!"

The generals were so excited that they wanted to shout, and they persuaded the new pope to return to the royal capital. The war in front of them was just to stop Putamia from advancing. The royal capital behind them was their foundation. There were their families and them there. If the imperial army goes on a killing spree in the Holy Capital City and destroys their family's property, Humanity and property have all been eradicated. They don't dare to imagine what will happen. The generals all want to grow wings and fly back to the Holy City. How can they have the intention to continue fighting here? You must know that capturing the Holy City is an empire. Even if the army captures Putamia here, it has nothing to do with the empire!

The holy capital has been lost, why should we capture Putamia!

"Immediately send the order, everyone retreats, we must take back the Holy Capital!"

The new pope had an expression of gnashing her teeth, but her eyes were full of coldness. Compared with the temptation to capture Putamia alive, she chose to take back the Holy City. This was the best opportunity to take over the Holy City. It was the best time. The empire is forced to jump over the wall and kill all the Presbyterians. At that time, he will become the truly powerful Pope of the Order. , such an opportunity has come across once in many years. I didn’t expect that I was so lucky, but I just happened to meet it. Even if the Imperial Army did not kill the Presbyterian Council, I would have arranged for people to kill the Presbyterian Council. I only need to postpone everything afterwards. Just blame the empire. Who doesn't know that the empire is cruel? It is completely normal to kill all the Presbyterians in anger!

Thinking of this, she didn't want to stay here anymore. Just when she was about to raise her hand, a rumbling sound began to be heard in the distance, and a black line came. The new pope's eyes were focused on this growing line. The more obvious black line is a line of black armored cavalry galloping towards them. The cold light of their weapons shines in the sunlight in a frightening way.

The dense cavalry is like a large black cloud floating towards this side.

The vibration of the rapid running made the stones on the ground tremble slightly. These black-armored cavalry finally stopped at a distance of three to four hundred meters, almost blending into the earth with a subtleness, like a war bow pulling out the bowstring. For a moment, it seemed that even the wetland wind in front of me stopped for a moment, the cold light of the armor, the military The flags fluttered in the wind, leaving no one in doubt. As long as an order was given, these imperial cavalry would turn into a huge frenzy and rush in from behind the coalition forces. The earth was wrapped in the heavy metal armor. The horse's hooves trembled, and a ferocious fighting spirit filled the world and filled everyone's vision.

"It's the Imperial Cavalry!"

The generals of the Aden and other armies who were engaged in a fierce battle also shuddered and were frightened. Almost unanimously, they immediately made the same judgment: withdraw everyone! The Imperial Cavalry has its sword on its back vest, and if it doesn’t withdraw its troops, then it’s really looking for death.”

The fierce combat power of the Imperial Cavalry. During the Civil War, only 100,000 Imperial Cavalry defeated an army of 700,000 troops. This has cast a shadow over the entire South. The Southern Allied Forces have been completely frightened by the Empire. The Civil War in the front, the Fezer Kingdom War in the back, wherever the imperial cavalry goes , all swept across like a whirlwind. If the empire had previously been separated by an inland sea, the southern countries felt like they were seeing flowers in the fog. They felt that the empire's achievements were so exaggerated and that the northern empires were really vulnerable. Only when you actually encounter it do you know what it means to be crushed! The Kingdom of Feize was so powerful, but it was divided and collapsed in just a few months. The Kingdom of Feishan was so powerful and arrogant that it was pinned to death in Bavaria by the empire.

What's more, these imperial cavalry are also in full posture, ready to launch an attack at any time. The number of these black-armored imperial cavalry is about ten thousand. They lowered the bayonet in their hands with murderous intent. The sharp metal spear head was bone-chilling. , the murderous intention is mixed with the smell of pine wood and moss, mixed with the bloody wind, it looks like it has been battle-hardened for a long time. For the elite of the formation, it would be fine if this was a mountainous area, but this is the Atabi Wetland, the flat Atabi Wetland. On such a terrain, no one dares to say that they can stop a ten thousand elite cavalry from charging swiftly, let alone the south. The coalition forces all have their own agendas, and no one wants to be the first target of the Imperial Cavalry. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

As anxious as fire, all kinds of trumpets sounded one after another representing the retreat of the army. After more than three hours of fierce fighting on the battlefield in front of the Atabi Wetland, for the first time, the Southern Allied Forces had to take the initiative to retreat, layer by layer. The soldiers began to move back in an orderly manner, revealing corpses all over the ground, broken and With swords and guns, the central battlefield appeared strange, like petals blooming layer by layer, gradually revealing the stamens inside. It was the completely exhausted and blood-stained Temple Army. "What's going on?" "How did the enemy retreat?" "The eyes of the Temple Army soldiers were red, and their bodies were already stretched due to the loss of strength. At the beginning of the fight, he was going crazy, but his body was exhausted and there was nothing he could do about it. More and more Temple soldiers fell down, and the corpses were piled up so much that he couldn't even step on them. There was a soft feeling under his feet, that was No one thinks they can survive when they step on a corpse, but after being beaten, The enemies on all sides retreated strangely. The Temple Army soldiers were all covered in blood, as if they had suddenly seen something they couldn't believe. They looked blankly at the enemies retreating to both sides, holding long swords. His hands were still trembling slightly. At this moment, no one knew what was happening.

Then they saw the black-armored cavalry appearing in the distance like a group of hungry wolves. The familiar black armor was full of fighting spirit. A Templar knight rubbed his eyes in disbelief, making sure that he was not the result of losing his powers. Illusion, I immediately took a breath of cold air, raised my hand and pointed into the distance, shouting hoarsely like a broken drum, "Imperial Cavalry! It's Imperial Cavalry!"

Embarrassed, listening to the cheers from the Temple Army, the armies of other countries were completely silent for a while. The arrival of the Imperial Army disrupted all their plans. The commander-in-chief of the Martin Tooth Cavalry, Chesi, looked in the distance. The queue of the Imperial Cavalry swayed, and they reluctantly asked all the cavalry under their command to withdraw. If the enemy was really the Imperial Cavalry, Cexi knew that his own Martin Sharp Tooth Cavalry would be chopped up by the opponent.

On the Aden Army side, an officer asked in a low voice, "Sir, what should we do now? Should we fight?"

General Aden was riding on his horse and glared at him fiercely. He grunted with annoyance on his face. "What else are you fighting for? The Imperial Army has appeared. Who knows if there will be more behind!" Although the number of Imperial cavalry that appeared is not that large, who knows if there will be more Imperial troops behind. Once the Imperial troops launch a surprise attack when they besiege the Temple Army, we will be attacked from both sides! General Aden glanced at the swordsmen of the Kingdom of Via not far away with slight disdain. "It's even more unreliable to count on the Via people. Don't forget that just three months ago, we were charged with smuggling." We have wiped out all the Viyas' shops in the Gulf of Aden, and the Viyas have suffered huge losses. Once the imperial army really starts to attack, I dare say that those Viyas will take the initiative to get out of the way and let the imperial army directly attack us."

At this time, the news from the Holy Capital Army also reached the generals of each army, and there was an uproar. "The Holy Capital was captured by the Imperial Army?" General Aden's body on the horse was slightly shaken, and the corner of his mouth suddenly smiled bitterly. "That's true." It's the empire. By the time we fight life and death here, the other party has easily made the final decision!

"The purpose of capturing Potamia was to make her spit out the northern part of Erlo before the empire was paying attention. But now the imperial army suddenly sent troops to the Holy Capital, which shows that the empire has been prepared for a long time.

At this time, whether or not Putamia was captured was of little significance, because the empire must have gathered heavy troops in the north of Erault. Once the Southern Alliance advanced north, they would encounter the front of the empire!

General Aden felt that in the cold wind blowing against his face, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also the murderous intention of a long sword unsheathed. Is the empire ready to go to war with the south?

In this strange silence, someone suddenly shouted unwillingly, "All the troops, listen to my order and annihilate this imperial cavalry! I don't care about the Holy City or Potamia. I just want the imperial army to know. I, Mavia, will make them pay the price!" The one who shouted was the blond-haired Prince Mavia. The prince's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes as he stared at the imperial black-armored cavalry in the distance. , raising the command sword in his hand high
