Realm of Power

In the camp of the Aden Army of the Southern Allied Forces, the cold wind hit the face of Yamol, the leader of the Aden Army. The leader of the Aden Army stood in front of his military tent and looked at the direction of the fighting in front of him with gleaming eyes. The night was heavy and he could not see. Looking at the specific situation, we can only see the center line of the Holy Capital Army fluctuating violently. It is a wave of fighting. Because of the continuous harassment by the imperial cavalry, the nerves of the entire southern coalition are extremely nervous, so now they hear the sound coming from the front. It’s not just Amol who shouts to kill, Several other leaders of the coalition forces ran out and ordered the entire army to be on alert. What was going on ahead and what was the fighting situation like? They issued orders one by one. The coalition camp that had just rested was filled with excitement, everywhere. They were all shadows of people running back and forth. "What's going on!" "You bastard, what's going on in front of you!" There were all kinds of curses. Shields were pushed to the wooden fence of the camp to strengthen defense. The spears with handles stood up outside the camp,

The Imperial Cavalry had already hit the Confederate Army with several sniper attacks in the past. They were all psychologically affected. Each time, they came like the wind, and the longbows and fast horses fired at random. Although the losses caused each time were not much, they were still frequent. There were not many times, and the most unbearable thing for the Southern Allied Forces was that these imperial cavalry seemed to do it deliberately. Each shooting did not directly cause many deaths, but often caused a large number of wounded soldiers.

That night, they encountered five interceptions, almost once every five or six miles. Because the Martin Sharptooth Cavalry suffered heavy losses, the Confederate Army, which had completely lost its mobile cavalry, was like a man crawling in a wilderness quagmire. Like a turtle, it can only move forward slowly under the back and forth harassment of the imperial cavalry.

In the middle of the night, the Southern Allied Forces suffered only six to seven hundred casualties, but the number of wounded soldiers reached nearly 3,000. This greatly slowed down the Southern Allied Forces' advance northward, and the soldiers had to carefully look at them as they marched. All around, no one knows when deadly clusters of arrows like locusts will fly in, because the only way to do this is to use a group to During the march, the ground was already wet and muddy. After the people in front stepped on it, the people behind were left with pools of mud. The soldiers wore cold and biting iron armor, and it was cold at more than ten degrees below zero in the Atabi Wetland at night. In the middle, he moved forward in embarrassment, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Not to mention tired, it was the cold that made the Southern Allied Forces complain.

Now that we have finally settled down, we are attacked again! "Sir, the situation is clear. There are imperial cavalry attacking and harassing the Holy Capital Army's northward march!" An Aden officer violently reined in his horse in front of Yamor and reported the situation ahead to Yamor. It was the Holy Capital Army that was attacked. The imperial cavalry overran the center of the Holy Capital Army, and most of the center line was shaken. The fierce battle is still going on.

"What are you talking about? The Imperial Cavalry has disturbed the center line of the Holy Capital Army!"

Yamoor's expression changed, and a sharp flash of light flashed in his eyes. Although the Holy City Army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Atabi Wetland, the losses were not great. There were at least 40,000 troops left. As the new Pope's headquarters, The minimum number of troops on the center line should be between ten and twenty thousand. The imperial cavalry was able to defeat the Chinese army's obstruction in such a short period of time and shake the entire center line. The first thing that made Yamol think was that this time it was not a harassment. Simple, isn't it the main force attacking? This thought made his fingers clenched together unconsciously.

Yamor's expression was stern. He had already seen that the number of imperial cavalry would definitely not be large. If there were more than 30,000 imperial cavalry, the famous imperial general Reposti would have chosen to crush the Southern Allied Forces mercilessly. However, the other party adopted harassment tactics, seemingly occupying Taking advantage of the right time and place, it actually exposed the reality of the empire. That is, the empire must have a serious shortage of troops in the direction of the Holy Capital. If there were enough troops, what else would be needed to stop the Southern Allied Forces from advancing north? I'm afraid they would still wish that all the Southern Allied Forces had arrived earlier. You should go to the Holy Capital City and die!

Throughout the night, the imperial cavalry used soft knives to cut their flesh, and kept bleeding them, so that they did not dare to relax. Their nerves were always tense to a certain limit, and they were not even given a break. The other party separated the cavalry and harassed them. Finally, together, as we get closer and closer to the Holy Capital, the real main showdown will come! Is this the moment? "Sir, do you need to send someone to rescue the Holy Capital Army?" The Aden officer looked at the uncertain Amor and asked cautiously, "No, just continue to send people to check the situation of the Holy Capital Army. Send the order and the whole army will enter." War preparation! No one is allowed to act rashly. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!" Yamoor raised his head towards the officer and said decisively, "The imperial army should not choose to do so when our southern coalition forces are gathering together. When the main force is ready to launch a decisive battle, don’t forget that the famous imperial general Riposti, who rose up during the Hungarian Rebellion, should not be so irrational just because of the fluctuations in the Holy Capital Army! I messed up the position first, and the Holy Capital Army has tens of thousands of people, which cannot be swallowed up by the Imperial Cavalry in a short time. The correct response is for our army to wait and see what happens and wait for opportunities."

"Yes, I understand." The officer immediately turned around. As expected, the sound of fierce fighting began to subside after about an hour, and the leaders of the Southern Allied Forces immediately held a meeting.

"What are you talking about? There were only a thousand Imperial cavalry who attacked the Holy Capital Army?

The news that came back made the Southern Allied Forces, who had gathered together and were shocked, dumbfounded." In other words, the chaos that even His Highness the Pope of the Order almost fell was caused by more than a thousand Imperial cavalry. Joke, this is definitely the funniest joke I’ve ever heard! If it were spread, I’m afraid everyone would laugh out loud.” The corners of Prince Rutelli’s lips of the Kingdom of Harvey couldn’t help but curl up.

"But it would be even more ridiculous for us to assist such an army in counterattacking the Holy Capital." Prince Mavia of the Ikar Army curled his lips coldly, and the military tent suddenly became silent. "Ahem, in fact, the performance of the Holy Capital Army was... If it's not ours, why force them together?" Yamol coughed in embarrassment, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked at several other leaders of the Southern Allied Forces gathered for a meeting. "In fact, if we don't I have seen it with my own eyes, and I won’t believe it. The Potamia army, which is also part of the religious order’s national army, is so powerful. It almost used one army to fight against the entire elite of our southern coalition. And now we see the Holy Capital Army. , and if it is so unbearable, it seems that it is impossible to rely on the Holy Capital Army. In the final analysis, we still have to rely on us to recapture the Holy Capital! "" Our army has suffered serious battle losses, and we still need to rely on it to recapture the Holy Capital! Aden and Hawi! "

Prince Mavia said very rudely that in the previous battle of Atabi, the Ikal army foolishly fulfilled the agreement and desperately resisted the strong attack of the Pudamia army. Later, they went to rescue the Martin Liga people, but under the long-range bows and arrows of the imperial cavalry, suffered losses again, and the Aden Army and Harvey Army, the two strongest Mavia was very dissatisfied and made it clear that in such a hard battle as storming the Holy City, the Ikal Army could only send out 3,000 people at most, and could no longer use more power. "How can three thousand people be enough? Every army is fighting life and death here. Three thousand people are in a place like the Holy Capital." In order to be effective in a high-level siege, at least eight thousand people are needed! "Yamor immediately said that this number is definitely not enough. Although more than half of the Ikar army was lost in the battle, it still has a combat strength of seven to eight thousand people! "Yes." There are no more people in our army. Are you going to let our wounded? Are all the soldiers going to attack the city? "Mavia looked at Amor fiercely. The Aden people were sneaking ahead, and now they want to use all their strength. It is really a daydream. If all their troops die in the Holy Land, Under the capital, even if he returns to the Ikar Kingdom, he will still be hurt because of this battle. And suffered a heavy punishment. "Okay, why are you two angry? In fact, I have a better way than counterattacking the Holy City." At the critical moment, Prince Rutelli of Harvey interrupted them, with a fierce look in his eyes. Brutally, he grinned, revealing a pair of strong white teeth. "What does His Highness mean?" "Amor was stunned for a moment, and Prince Mavia also looked at Rutelli. "Haven't you noticed that the entire army of the Order State is in front of us, the Potamia Army has been completely destroyed, and the Holy Capital Army is so unbearable. In the first battle, everyone thinks that even if we help the Holy Capital Army retake the Holy Capital, relying on the Holy Capital Can the strength of the army resist the southward advance of the Falcon Empire from the north? Prince Rutelli paused, smiled, and looked around with cold eyes like a knife. "Now that we are talking about this, let me tell you honestly. I believe it." When you come all the way north, you shouldn’t just be sightseeing, right? I am afraid that the information collected along the way is almost the same. Since the army of the Order State has been completely destroyed in the battle, and the remaining ones are not of concern, why don’t the four of us jointly send troops to divide the Order State, and then decide the ownership of the northern part of Hello. , such a God-given opportunity is right in front of me. If I miss it, it will be gone! "

"Divide the Order State!"

The expressions of several other leaders couldn't help but change. This idea was too bold. What Prince Rutelli said was right. They mixed in with the so-called prisoners and came all the way north. Naturally, it was impossible to let go of the intelligence of the Order State along the way. , this was originally one of the tasks assigned to them by their respective countries. , if the Order Country really can't help it, then just do it yourself. The southern countries have almost the same idea in this regard. What's more, although the south of the Order Country is a barren mountainous area, there are wetlands and plains to the north, and even more so In the northern part of Eero, it would be false to say that the southern countries have no ambitions!

Originally, everyone wanted to see the situation first, but now the opportunity was placed in front of everyone. The leaders' breathing became faster. They could feel that the God-given opportunity to annex the land in front of them was right before them. A place that can be picked by just reaching out and picking it up! The Battle of Atabi Wetland made them stop despising the Order National Army. However, they did not expect that in just a few hours, the Holy Capital Army, which was also composed of the Order National Army as the main body, turned out to be this Awesome! "His Royal Highness Prince Rutelli is right, the Holy Capital Army is unreliable! Since the Pope is so eager to take back the Holy Capital, there is no need for us to stop him!" This is Prince Mavia's eyes flashing After a moment of hesitation, everyone knows that he is right The female pope had a favorable impression, but in the end he chose national interests, which showed that he had been tempted and stood on the stand of carving up the religious order country. "Although His Highness the Pope treats us well, we are an alliance army, so of course we must obey It’s everyone’s decision”

The burly figure of Cesi of the Martin Tooth Army shrugged his shoulders and did not express his position. It was not that he did not want to take a stand, but because the status of the Martin Tooth Kingdom was sensitive. For the southern countries, the extremely aggressive Martin Tooth people , not much better than the empire to the north. If Cesi expresses his position, it will This caused a change in the attitude of the leaders of the other three countries, but Cesi also played a trick. There are only four countries in total, two of which have expressed their approval for the division of the religious order countries, and they have also expressed their submission to the majority. The only one left is the Aden. Regardless of whether the people of Aden agree or not, the outcome is actually decided! "Since everyone agrees, why should I object!" Yamoor, the leader of the Aden Army, smiled naturally and cursed in his heart that Martin Liya was really nothing. He obviously wanted to take advantage and pretended to obey the overall situation. "Okay, it's settled! Please send someone to send the news back to the country immediately!"

Seeing that everyone had passed, Prince Rutelli looked overjoyed. Although they were all southern coalition forces, the one bordering the Order State was the Kingdom of Harvey in the south, and the Kingdom of Harvey had already made preparations and was just waiting for the news. The army marched into the southern hills of the Order State, unlike the other three countries. It took less than half a month to wait until the message was paged and the entire army moved in.

Half a month is enough for the Kingdom of Harvey to take advantage of everything." His Royal Highness Prince Rutelli, forgive me for asking. The Kingdom of Harvey and the Order Country have been allies for many years. This time you are inciting the southern countries to carve up the Order Country. "Isn't there a little bit of pressure?" Yamoor took a deep breath and looked at Lutelli sharply. "Pressure? What is this loss for me, Lutelli, in front of the suffering civilians!"

Prince Rutelli smiled disdainfully. He knew that the other party was saying that he was not trustworthy. He said without any secret, "Although the Kingdom of Harvey and the Order State were once very close allies, they also wanted to resist the aggressive Egypt." The Luo Empire and the Ero Empire are now dead in name only. In essence, such an alliance has been automatically dissolved. Naturally, we, the Harvey Kingdom, cannot stand by and watch the innocent people affected by the civil war between the two popes within the Order State. Since the Order State itself does not cherish them, then giving me the Harvey Kingdom will not treat them badly." Rutelli said With a righteous and arrogant expression on his face, it seems that the Harvey Kingdom participated in the carving up of the Order Country in order to save the civilians of the Order Country who were affected by the civil war!

Seeing such shameless Prince Rutelli, Amor, who originally wanted to ridicule him, was speechless.

Yamor knew that the Harvey people, as a powerful country in the central region, had been crazy about wanting an outlet to the inland sea for more than a hundred years. The reason why they had a close relationship with the Order State was not only because they jointly fought against the Ero people, Also because the Order State is willing to serve as the Kingdom of Harvey outlet to the sea, but others are others after all. Although the Order State promised the Harvey people, it has always imposed heavy taxes on the Harvey people's caravans. This has always made the Harvey people hate it, but Unexpectedly, the Harvey people would fight back like this this time!

The golden sun finally jumped out from the horizon, illuminating the land in front of him. Reposti stopped his horse at an adobe location, and his eyes fell on a slightly raised black outline on the ground in front of him. The Holy City was just ahead. The position of ten miles away is no longer possible here He retreated again, and behind him, groups of imperial cavalry began to gather. A gorgeous battle flag embroidered with golden tassels fluttered in the sun. "My lord, the noble army came to report that they are less than ten miles away from the Southern Allied Forces. ! "A cavalry hussar came galloping in.
