Realm of Power

When the northern part of the continent begins to enter spring, the sun is already shining brightly in Barro in southern Europe. For the Kalisu region, where three-quarters of the kingdom's territory is covered with dense forests, the tall trees are bathed in the bright sunshine and enjoy the most wonderful experience of the year. season, because the ecology is well maintained, the land in the Kalisu area is very fertile, and the waterways between the woodlands also bring Abundant water resources and a large number of green plants began to emerge in large numbers after the rain. At a glance, it seems like green silk and satin are gently undulating in the breeze. The endless green makes everyone feel like they are there. People all have a feeling of wanting to shout, but at this time, in this beautiful land, a life and death battle is going on.

The news that the capital of the Kalisu Kingdom was defeated by the Imperial Army finally leaked out on the third day. The first to take action was the Kalisu Army in the direction of the Karu Woodland Fortress. This army brought together the elite troops of the Kalisu Kingdom. , almost all of the middle-level officers were descendants of the Kalisu royal family. After learning that the royal capital had been captured by the imperial army, the angry young officers came to the veteran general Eliot cried blood in front of him and asked for battle. "The royal capital has fallen, and your majesty's life and death are unknown. Don't you feel blushing when you watch with such cold eyes!" "Go back to the royal capital, save Carisu, and save your majesty! Facing a crowd of people who are already red-eyed. Officers, even though veteran Elliot believes that turning to the royal capital at this moment is tantamount to selling his back to the empire, but at this moment, who dares to say that?

"It's okay to return to the capital, but we can't just leave like this, and no one knows how many imperial troops there are. Is it all of them that captured the capital, or just one!" Elliot glanced at the officer with a serious look. Their faces, weathered Ai Liott knew very well that anyone who dared to stop the officers from returning to the royal capital would be immediately labeled as a traitor, and then these officers would drag the army back because it was the royal capital and where their families were. As for the previous obstruction Those who are killed will naturally be killed without mercy! But giving up and giving way to the Karu Woodland Fortress is equivalent to completely opening the door to the Kalisu Kingdom, and the imperial army can move south unimpeded! "As long as you are willing to agree to go back, everything else is fine." The young officers were stunned for a moment. They originally thought that Elliot, who was known for his stubbornness, would refuse to return to the royal capital. The officers had even discussed it. If Elliot did not agree with the army's turn, In the royal capital, just knock this old man unconscious, then tie him to a war horse and take him back. "Okay, in order to prevent encountering the emperor's assassins on the way to the royal capital, I will arrange the troops in a two-headed snake formation..."

"Two-headed snake?"

"It is to place the main force of the elite combat troops at the front and rear of the marching column, so that even if there is a sudden attack, our army can deal with it calmly." Elliott is worthy of being an experienced veteran. This method of his was completely unexpected at the time. He only thought of it when the Imperial Army was responding to the surprise attack. He glanced at the confused young officers and used his hand to He gestured, "Suppose our marching column is a huge snake. This giant snake has a head at each end of its long body. If someone wants to knock down this snake and attack the head at one end, then the other The head at one end will bite the enemy in turn. If the central body part is attacked, the snake heads at both ends will bite the enemy at the same time."

"This looks good, but who will be the leader and tail!" After listening to Elliot's explanation, the officers' faces showed strange expressions. There is no doubt that those who can be ranked as the leader and tail must be the most elite troops. , that is to say, once they encounter a battle, these two troops are most likely to suffer losses. Another meaning of blocking the enemy's surprise attack often means a large number of sacrifices, which means using human flesh and blood to delay time and save time for the army. Adjust the response to buy time, this time The royal capital fell. Although the royal officers have been asking to return to the army, they actually hope that they can stand out in this battle and truly enter the ranks of the royal ministers. For a while, no one was willing to answer Elliot's question." The Fifth Regiment is known as the most elite of Calisu. I think the Fifth Regiment will be responsible for the head and tail tasks." "No, no, the Eighth Regiment is the flower of the army with well-equipped weapons." "The Ninth Regiment, the Ninth Regiment is here. In previous battles with the Imperial Army, the losses were minimal, almost no losses."

In a series of rising and falling voices, the royal officers one by one said that others were better than themselves. The officers of the Royal Carisu family, who had vowed to take back the royal capital just now, now became models of humility and humility. In the past, they all thought that they were the master of the world. First of all, at this moment, everyone is not stingy with any words of praise they can say to their colleagues. No one is a fool. Being the leader means sacrifice. It means getting out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in advance, saving the fallen royal capital, and turning the country's fortunes from collapse. What an achievement. Whoever can win will lay the foundation for his future as King Kalisu. The position of the head of the ** department used to take at least ten or twenty years to reach the level. Now I am afraid that I don’t even need one year. How can I miss such an opportunity! "The kingdom is in danger, but these royal officers are in such a mess. What do you think, His Majesty..."

Seeing this scene, veteran Elliot's gray hair trembled slightly, but his heart felt cold. This is actually not because the young officers of the Wang family are too utilitarian, but because over the past few years, the Carisu royal family has been trying to cultivate an absolute army. The group of royal officers who are loyal to the royal family constantly instill in them the concept of the rise of the kingdom and cultivate their ambition and impact. Over the past few years, they have indeed cultivated a group of young officers who are determined to show off. However, the ambition and arrogance of such a group of officers who have not been tempered by iron and blood are far higher than their own abilities. Originally, the Kingdom of Kalisu wanted to use this battle to advance north to complete the final tempering. The Kalisu royal family has even made a tacit agreement to lose half of its officers in the battle. Only the ones that are saved in the end are qualified to become the future backbone of the Kalisu kingdom. If it is really completed, it may not be impossible to forge an elite army. officer,

It is a pity that the northward march and the empire's southward march met unexpectedly. The last and most important process of these high-minded young royal officers was interrupted. These young officers with passion and drive are now more like It was a long sword that was too sharp and thin. No one knew whether it penetrated the target or broke midway due to external force!

"Su An Lilong, the Third Regiment of the Border Guards, you are in charge of the first formation, which is one end of the snake. Your three thousand heavy armored infantry should be able to hold off the enemy even if they encounter a surprise attack!" Elliot Shen said He said an order. After hearing his order, the border guard general A tall middle-aged man stood out, saluted Elliot with a serious face, and said in a solemn voice, "This subordinate will not disappoint your expectations." "The second formation, which is the position of the snake's tail, is personally in charge of me." Elliot nodded towards the middle-aged man.

"Sir, this is too dangerous. How can you personally suppress the rear?" The generals of the border defense army said one after another, "It is too dangerous. What if the emperor really comes from behind? Please supervise the battle in the middle."

"There is no so-called middle in this kind of battle formation. There are only two heads. If we really encounter it, either the enemy will be defeated or we will be defeated. There will be no other choice!" Elliot waved his hands with a serious face and said sternly. , the generals fell silent. "What? It's obvious that he is old and does not have the courage to fight again. He wants to avoid the battle, but he speaks so grandly. The Imperial Army is clearly in the direction of the royal capital, how could it be possible from there? Come back! "Someone in the crowd of royal officers laughed contemptuously. "Anyone who has suggestions for such an arrangement can put it forward directly. I would also be happy to ask anyone who is willing to take on this responsibility!" Elliot's face was livid, his eyes were pale. Glancing over coldly, even though he had been very courteous to the royal officers and even gave up the control of the royal officers, he was still angry at this moment. The eyes of a military veteran who had been stationed in the border all year round were like The fierceness of the old wild wolf was not something that the Royal officers who had not experienced truly brutal fighting could withstand. There was some small commotion among the Royal officers. The Royal officers who were caught by Elliot's eyes lowered their heads one after another, as if they were blown by the wind. "Like a wheat field", the Kalisu soldiers who have always been known for their tenacity and unruliness have become like this!" Elliot felt a sense of sadness in his heart. It was only a few years ago, and even the Martin Fang Kingdom did not dare to take it lightly. The easy-to-provoke Kalisu army is known as the Jungle Red Scorpion. Although it is weak, it is tenacious. Just like the red scorpions in the dense forest in front of you, no Kalisu enemy dares to despise Kalisu. Lisu soldiers, under the monopoly of the Kalisu royal family, in just a few years, completely lost the stubbornness and unyielding that a soldier should have. A group of royal family members with superior backgrounds, thinking about what to do every day to gain greater power

Their heads are filled with the so-called thoughts that Carisu will rise and Carisu will become the overlord of the South. They all think that they are the golden generation born at the times. Who would really regard themselves as a soldier who needs to bleed? ! Because even generals are a thing of the past in the eyes of these royal children, because all officers will eventually be replaced by royal children. With this idea, who will truly respect a royal person!

As an old man who has experienced the ups and downs of South Europe and Pakistan for decades, Eliot knows that the word rise has never been related to greatness and grandeur. The rise of any nation is not as simple as a sentence. It is a war with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the pinch, the challenge to the powerful enemy that has occupied a larger space is an extremely brutal expansion of the living space! In every stroke of the seemingly beautiful scroll of the kingdom, every stroke is human blood and sacrifice! How could these young royal officers know this!

After a few minutes of silence, Eliot seemed to look a little older. He waved to everyone and announced that the meeting would be temporarily adjourned. He walked out under the attention of the saluting border army generals.

In the afternoon, the gate of the Karu Woodland Fortress opened heavily. Countless spears towered, and battle armor was like a sea. The first one to launch was the Kalisu Border Guards, followed by teams one after another, marching towards Kalisu in a formation of two-headed snakes. King Su drove into King Kalisu's capital. Fifty miles away from King Kalisu's capital, bursts of muffled rolling sounds of thunder began to be heard in front of him. A black line appeared on the woodland mound in front of him. Now under the eyes of the Kali Su Army is a group of black-armored cavalry. These light cavalry stand on a high place and look coldly at the Kali Su Army in the distance. They directly look at tens of thousands of Kali Su Army. This The boldness of the imperial light cavalry, which only had a hundred or so riders, made all the Kalisu people who saw this scene feel frightened. The marching team actually made a slight commotion, "Don't be chaotic, they are just the scout cavalry of the empire!"

After a brief moment of distraction, Su Anlilong, who was in charge of the snakehead in front, shouted loudly. Because they had been fighting infantry all year round and the Kalisu army had almost never left the Kalisu forest area, he did not notice that the only relatively flat area on the road from Kalu Forest to the capital was the edge extending from Kalu Forest. There had been a forest fire here. Although it was finally extinguished by rain, it also caused the loss of more than ten miles of forest. There were only large areas of low shrubs here. Without the advantage of the forest, the disadvantage of the Kalisu army, which was only lightly armed, was exposed.

"What do these imperial people want to do!" "How arrogant! They dare to provoke us with such a small number of people!"

"Assholes, come down and fight if you have the guts!" The officers of the Kalisu royal family broke into a loud curse

"They put the heavy infantry in front. It seems that the other side is also prepared!" Bai Dan, the commander of the 8th flag of the 2nd Army of the Southern Empire, swept his eyes over the Kalisu army below who were cursing. Although he could not understand what these Kalisu people were saying, it must not be good words. He raised his hand to the subordinates behind him and said, "Okay, give them the gift of meeting." "Yes, "Sir"

The captain of the imperial squadron, who was a longbowman, took a round object from his warhorse and hung it on an arrowhead. He pulled the two-meter-long longbow in his hand suddenly. With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the arrowhead wrapped in it drew a graceful arc and was thrown from a high altitude to the bottom, and then landed about 30 meters in front of the Kalisu army. Seeing that the imperial cavalry actually shot an arrow in this direction, the Kalisu officers were all shocked. As a result, when they saw that the arrowhead was still so far away from the ground, they immediately let out a burst of mocking boos. Haha, it's really ridiculous. What? Is this the famous sharpshooter of the empire! "Go get the stuff up there," Su Anlilong's face was still serious. He said to the adjutant behind him. He didn't believe that the imperial cavalry would risk such a risk to appear here just to show off their power. His eyes unconsciously fell on the package, and he was secretly amazed at the long distance of this arrow. With a package, it can still shoot 150 meters. If there was no package, it might really shoot here. It is said that the imperial crossbow is unparalleled in the world. The power of this bow is even more terrifying than the crossbow. If the imperial side is full of such powerful archers, how can this battle be fought! 8)
