Realm of Power

The cold night exploded tonight. The clash of weapons, the fierce screams of horses galloping like lightning, and the tragic screams of being trampled under the horses' hooves, all kinds of sounds and shouts like a flood, resounded throughout the entire land at once, and the black cavalry The swarm was advancing rapidly, and when the Holy City Army discovered it, a torrential rain of arrows had penetrated the night and fell into the crowd of the Holy City Army.

"Puff puff!" The arrow pierced into the soldier's body and into the armor, causing a bright red flash, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh. Like a bloodthirsty beast, violently tearing apart muscles and muscles with sharp teeth, the ground was shaking, and the huge thunder-like sound made the faces of the Holy City Army, who could not see the situation clearly in the dark night, turned pale, and the fools also You know what happened, the cavalry, the imperial cavalry, known as the entire Oppa The number one imperial cavalry in the Luo Continent, during the Civil War, it swept through like a hurricane and massacred 700,000 imperial cavalry of the Southern Allied Forces. When the thunderous sound of horse hooves reached the ears of the Holy Capital Army, various details about the imperial cavalry were revealed. A powerful and invincible thought emerged unconsciously.

"The Imperial Cavalry is coming!"

Under the shrill shouts, the ground was stained with blood and in chaos. Before the exhausted Holy Capital Army could figure out what was going on, they felt that they had been hit hard in the middle by some powerful force. It bites wildly, and the high-speed war horse itself is an extremely terrifying killing weapon. The weight of hundreds of kilograms is like a series of heavy hammers, enough to In order to turn the people who were bombarded in front into a pile of minced meat, it was like encountering a spinning top that was spinning in circles. The body was hit to pieces, and a piece of it was dug out. The flesh and blood stumps were crowded on the ground, and the blood was like being beaten. It sputtered around like bursting tomatoes. For a moment, a thin layer of blood mist even rose at the place where it burst in. "What's going on!"

The new pope's eyes fell to the side, and he was stunned. The enemy's cavalry was as fast as lightning, and the entire group of people was knocked away in one fell swoop. It looked like a large piece of blood had been dug out. Her head was rolling around on the ground, and those who had not had time to stand up were immediately trampled by the galloping horses' hooves and countless feet. People on the sides rolled over like crazy, crowding in front of her horse, and there were even people think When she was about to fall off the horse, the guard next to her slashed her to the ground with a sword, "Your Highness, the situation is not good, please evacuate immediately!" the guard captain shouted anxiously, and there was already a sword light rolling down the side, and it was sharp. The scimitars cut through the shining luster in the dark night. These imperial cavalry suddenly appeared, like wolves rushing into the sheepfold, slashing wantonly. The middle section of the Holy Capital Army was already in chaos.

The exhausted Holy Capital Army was already in disarray. After several hours of fighting at Atabi, they were driven like dogs for more than twenty miles. Their hands were soft without food, their weapons were of mixed lengths, and they were crowded. The people who pressed down on each other huddled together, frightened by the sudden appearance of these murderous gods, so they Some people felt that their scalps were about to explode. What they heard in their ears were the screams from the hacking. The screams quickly spread from the side to a wider area, and some experienced veterans gasped. He took a breath of air-conditioning. Oh my god, how long has it been? The opponent was killed in one breath.

These tiger-like black-armored cavalry are not completely invincible. They are just dismounted black-armored cavalry with ferocious faces. Without their horses, they dismount to fight, their blades flashing with cold light, but they are still not less sturdy and ruthless. He crashed into the crowd who were retreating in fear, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rolling in like a violent wave, and human blood rose up with the smoke and dust.

The Holy Capital Army has never encountered such a tough enemy. Such a fierce and fearless fighting madness frightened other Holy Capital Army troops who saw this scene. In the blink of an eye. Some soldiers of the Holy City Army who were on the verge of fighting had already thrown away their swords and armor and fled. Their middles were penetrated, so why not run away! The Holy Capital Army, which numbered at least more than 40,000 people, was actually frightened by the attack of more than a thousand imperial cavalry. The chaos spread rapidly from the point of entry to the surrounding areas. The dark night sky concealed the number of imperial cavalry. The fatigue of the army is even more... He had no fighting spirit at all, and the hand holding the weapon was trembling. Who would have the heart to rush forward and fight? The Holy Capital Army troops located on both sides of the center line were still hundreds of meters away from the intersection, so they did not care. They dispersed with a crash. "Sir, this Is that good? His Highness the Pope is also in the army! "A young officer of the Holy City Army on a horse looked at the general next to him with a hesitant expression. "Did you see the others moving? Of course His Highness the Pope is there! Protected by the temple guards, we are waiting for you now He can no longer hold the weapon, and rushing forward will only cause trouble to His Highness. It is better to just watch and see how His Highness deals with these imperial people. "The general of the Holy City Army looked at the tragic scene of the fighting in front of him, without any trace of it. Rescue means,

From their position, they can still clearly see the approximate number of Imperial cavalry. There are only a few thousand cavalry. At most, it is a temporary surprise attack. It cannot move the tens of thousands of troops. On the contrary, who knows whether there will be more people behind this Imperial cavalry. There are more imperial armies waiting for opportunities. The generals of these Holy Capital Army are all old foxes, and they have long had objections to the arbitrary actions of the new pope.

"Just watch. If you rush in, you may be seeking death! Since His Highness the Pope believes that his army is unparalleled, then go face this raid yourself!" The corner of the Holy City Army general's mouth curled up slightly.

Matlen, the seventh captain who commanded the imperial cavalry, was not aware of this unexpected situation, and the Holy City Army did not expect that the imperial cavalry, with only a thousand men, would dare to attack them like this. Originally, Matlen was just preparing He immediately evacuated after the attack, only to find that the Holy Capital Army on both sides did not move closer to surround him. He immediately ordered the imperial cavalry to charge in again.

The Holy Capital Army in the middle was in chaos. The location of the new Pope was exposed. The Imperial Cavalry looked at the Templar Cavalry gathered in one position and quickly realized that important figures from the Holy Capital Army were here.

"Order the entire army to move closer to me!" Matlen's eyes flickered and fell on the cross flag representing the Pope in front of him. He didn't know what it represented, but the huge cross pattern that could be embroidered with gold thread was huge. The flag must not be an ordinary person. He ordered the imperial cavalry to think about him, and then charged towards the cross heraldic flag. "Wooden Rally, I don't care what you do, don't let the enemy get close!"

The new pope was completely in disarray. In front of her eyes were fierce imperial cavalry swarming in. She could only see a dark area with densely packed heads. The nearest position was only twenty or thirty meters away from her, and a stream of arrows It almost rubbed against her white and tender cheek, and blood flowed down her cheek.

The new pope felt that he was really going crazy. He was the pope, the holy pope. These ordinary soldiers did not fight to protect themselves and allowed the enemy to rush to such a distance. These despicable people deserve to die! Damn it! , she hysterically ordered her guard captain to drive a large number of soldiers forward to block the imperial cavalry's assault.

"Supervise the battle team to go out,

The guard captain Mu Lalisai immediately drew his sword and shouted an order. Following his order, more than a hundred temple guards dismounted from their horses, holding sharp two-handed cross swords in their hands to block the retreating people. The soldiers who retreated back were slashed mercilessly with a flash of cold light. The soldiers wailed and screamed. A row of them was chopped down and stabbed over. Human blood spattered on the faces of these cold temple guards.

"Why are you killing people!"

The soldiers of the Holy Capital Army all around were confused. They were killing their own people. What was going on! Temple guard captain Mu Lalisai came out from behind the supervising team, holding a bloody human head in his right hand, and threw it heavily on the ground. It was the head of a middle-aged man, with an expression of disbelief on his face. It was very unexpected that I would be killed.

"It's the Temple Guard, it's General Sibyl!"

Some people recognized the human head and exclaimed, while more people looked at the blood-red cross on the wooden rally temple guard armor and couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The Temple Guards of the Blood Red Cross can be said to be notorious in the Order Country. They are cannibal demons under the Presbyterian Church. The Temple Guards are often associated with the Temple Inquisition within the temple. They are all responsible for purging those who are rebellious. Special department, for ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that many ordinary people have died in the hands of these temple guards, even demons one by one.

"His Majesty the Pope's command, from now on, anyone who retreats without permission will face the consequences." Mu Lalisai looked around and shouted with a stern face. The temple guards behind him all raised the large cross sword in their hands again. The edge of the sword is still dripping with red human blood!

In front, large numbers of black cavalry quickly pressed in, "woo woo". The horns were blowing crazily in the night. The black armor that filled the field of vision was even more ferocious and bloody under the light of the torches on the ground. The pressure caused huge clouds of smoke and dust to collide, causing human bodies and horse bodies to fall to the ground. Rolling and twisting, the Holy Capital Army soldiers had to turn around under the swords of the Temple Guards' war team. In front of them were the imperial cavalry's crazy slashes, and behind them were the war team's merciless sword swings, accompanied by one by one. The defeated troops continued to fall, and the Holy Capital army that retreated in the darkness finally stabilized.

"It's no longer possible. I can't hit it anymore! If I keep fighting, I won't be able to move even if I want to!"

The eyes of Matron, the seventh captain of the Imperial Cavalry, were red, but that was all. More and more enemies were crowding in front. After all, it was only the impact of more than a thousand Imperial Cavalry. Facing an army of tens of thousands, the effect it could have was In this way, Matlen looked around and saw the holy capitals on both sides. The number of troops was still astonishing, but for some unknown reason they did not encircle him. Matlen did not dare to entangle him anymore. He glanced at the vaguely white sky in the east, raised his hand, and loudly issued an order to evacuate to his subordinates. " It’s going to be daybreak, stop attacking and evacuate everyone.”

"Rumble" The imperial cavalry began to turn away from the rapidity and quickly disappeared into the distant forest area like the receding tide.

"Sir, the Imperial Cavalry has withdrawn!"

The young officer of the Holy Capital Army saw this scene and let out a cheer of relief. Fortunately, the number of imperial cavalry was not large. If there were tens of thousands, tonight would not be a false alarm, but a real collapse. Young man While the officer was happy, he didn't notice the livid face of his superior, the saint. The general of the capital army's eyes had narrowed into a thin line at this moment, and the hands holding the riding whip were tightly clasped together. These bastards of the Temple Guards, in order to encourage the defeated army to counterattack, they probably killed four or five people in one go. Hundreds of people, if I was the one who stopped the army from rout at the beginning, then I wouldn’t treat the soldiers as human beings at all! He is so red-blooded that he will kill anyone who comes close!

Like this general of the Holy City Army, the other generals of the Holy City Army also looked unhappy. The casualties were quickly counted. In the short raid of less than two hours, the Holy City Army had more than 2,000 dead and more than 1,500 injured. The entire middle section was penetrated. Looking at this report of casualties, the generals' eyes were blazing and their faces were ashen.

"His Highness the Pope ordered the army to continue to move forward!"

A cavalryman who rebuked the Temple Guards came to the generals with dejected faces, threw down a letter of command and left.

In silence, a rough-looking general of the Holy City Army looked at the letter of command, and angrily murmured in a low voice, "What on earth is this? The number of dead and injured is only 3,500, and one-tenth of them were killed by their own people. It's really incomparable to others. In the same situation, Her Highness Pudamiya remained calm in the face of battle. Even when the swords were about to cut her body, she still shouted loudly and refused to retreat. Even soldiers like me would be ashamed of her. But our new pope was in such a mess with just a surprise attack of more than a thousand imperial cavalry. Not only did he not have the ability to suppress the situation on the battlefield, but he also let the notorious Temple Guards go on a killing spree. Hundreds of people died not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own people. There was not even an explanation afterwards. What kind of thing is this! "

"To be honest, I really don't know what we are doing now." A general of the Holy City Army shook his head with a look of dejection and smiled bitterly.

"What can an army like ours do in the Holy City? Everyone saw the combat power of the imperial army last night. I saw that only a thousand cavalrymen defeated the central army. Although a large part of it was due to the surprise attack, the enemy only had a thousand people, a thousand people, and our entire central army had 18,000 people! As a result, the enemy lost only 300 to 400 people at most, while we had 3,500 people. The force was 10 to 10, but we fought 10 to 1. Even Sibyl of the Eighth Army died. To be honest, I don’t think this counterattack on the Holy City will succeed at all! ! "

"I heard that Sibyl was not killed by the Imperial Cavalry!" Someone whispered

"Enough, Rocknar, the mouth is out of control!" The oldest general of the Holy City Army quickly interrupted the voice

"Why can't you say it? Don't forget that the Holy City is not in their hands now. Why should we And listen to them!"

There was a dead silence. They were not the Temple Guards who obeyed the orders of the Elders. They were soldiers, soldiers of the Order. Their duty was to protect the country. There was a balance in their hearts. They obeyed the orders of the Elders and followed the new Pope to stop the northward advance of Putamia.

But the battle of Atabi shook their hearts. The miracle of the Putamia army using flesh and blood to resist the siege of the elite of the four southern countries was a miracle. Even if they were generals of the Holy City Army, they would still give a thumbs up.

Didn't you see that the attitude of the elite of the four countries changed? The arrogant and domineering attitude that did not take the soldiers of the Order in the eyes before was completely gone after that battle. But the battle last night brought them back to their original form!

Compared to this moment, they felt that the Putamia army, which fought to the death in the Battle of Atabi, was obviously more worthy of the term "soldier of the Order".
