Realm of Power

The shouts of killing were overwhelming, and the sounds of battle roared loudly. Roaring sounds, fighting sounds, and the sounds of metal and iron clashing boiled in the rear of the Kalisu army. When countless imperial infantry suddenly exerted force at close range, the gun array met them in front. Coming up, the twisted sound of gold and iron scraping between the spears penetrated the body along the gaps in the iron armor, bringing out a lot of bloody smell. In the sound of the horn, the three long tones indicating the attack continued,

"The Imperial Army is really coming from behind!" This is the overwhelming black tide emerging from behind. The first thought that flashed through the minds of the Kalisu people was even a little vague, "Fight!" the Kalisu border guard officer on the back line shouted, looking at the black-armored infantry swarming behind him, he felt his scalp They all exploded. How many people are there? It is simply boundless. Not to mention ordinary border guards, even the officers feel like they are like a small boat facing the hurricane. "Hold on, otherwise, everyone will I'm going to die here."

"You're kidding, there are so many, how can we fight!"

All kinds of sounds were immediately drowned out by the slashing sound of metal collision. In the suffocating breath, the wolf-like imperial infantry collided with the defense line of the Kali Su army. Specially designed to break the formation. Numerous spears from Nord's polearm collided violently at this moment. The center of Elliot's double-headed snake tactics were two snake heads. Naturally, the most elite and resistant troops were also present. The front, located on the back line of defense, is actually the original snake waist position. How can it withstand Salton's most elite assault front? The dense spear formations of both armies are desperately poking at the opponent's queue. The spears are They were arranged so densely that even the air could not pass through them, and they made various sounds when they poked at the flesh and shields, some were crisp and clear, and some made people's teeth ache. For a moment, there were continuous screams from the queues of both sides. From time to time, a soldier was stabbed in the chest by the long stabbing spear, and blood spattered and rolled to the ground.

'"Come on"

But the more tragic battle was that after all the spears of the frontline soldiers were broken, the number of 80,000 imperial troops was almost drowned. The huge attack line and the black crowd only paused for a moment, and with the help of The absolute superiority in numbers instantly tore apart the defense line of the Kalisu Army that was caught off guard. "The bastard border guards couldn't even stop them!"

Just after running back from the front, the royal officers who were still preparing the army saw this scene and cursed angrily. They had lost their face by being hacked by the imperial cavalry in front of them. If the border guards hadn't resisted the imperial cavalry's attacks, In the impact, the royal army probably lost more than just five or six thousand people. It can be said that the border guards saved them, but it is impossible to make them grateful to the border guards.

The royal officers knew very well that if the royal family had not taken into account the face of Elliot, a veteran commander of the border guard force for 20 years, and needed this last-minute veteran to complete the northern march, the border guard force would have been replaced and abolished. In fact, The royal officers have already received orders. As long as the battle to advance north is over, the royal family will ask Elliot to be transferred back to the royal capital.

When the time comes, the fate of these border guards will be divided up by the royal armies. Naturally, all the old and weak in them will be discarded, and the remaining young and strong will be filled into the royal army. Even so, the officers with the highest military vision of the royal family will also deeply dissatisfied

My subordinates are all elite troops drawn from the Kingdom of Calisu. They can't come just by thinking about it. Why should they accept the veteran soldiers stationed on the border like the border guards? Their weapons are old and the quality of the soldiers is uneven. After filling them into their own troops, , I'm afraid it won't matter if it doesn't form a fighting force, but it will also hinder everyone. How will this account be settled at that time? Therefore, from the moment they arrived at the border guards, the royal officers already regarded the border guards as a piece of fat under their swords, as their trophies. The future fate of the border guards was in their own hands, and they were used as servants. See if those people are still useful, those people should be sent out of the army directly, isn't it normal!

Even if they knew that the border guards were very angry with them, the officers of the Royal Army just smiled contemptuously.

But at this moment, the faces of many royal officers were red with anger. They were bastard border guards and despicable villains. In their eyes, the tragic defeat just now was simply intentional by the border guards. It was like a slap in the face. On their arrogant faces, they could tell that they had been ambushed by the imperial army. The border guards could clearly Those who came out to rescue them, however, stood still in formation and watched with cold eyes, watching the imperial cavalry attack them. In addition to five to six thousand royal troops killed in the battle, more than sixty royal officers were killed or injured. If Not considering that they were on the battlefield now, the royal officers had already taken people to the border guards to arrest them!

Anyway, sooner or later it will be handed over to the Royal Army. What difference does it make if we catch it early? Could it be that the fragmented border guard force could still make the royal family really rebuke itself?

Countless smoke and dust rose up, and murderous intent rose into the sky. It seemed that this murderous intent alone could completely destroy the warring space and shatter all obstacles in front of them. In their eyes, they should have resisted the imperial army's surprise attack. The border guards who came to buy time for them to prepare their troops were defeated in less than a minute!

"Kill!" The thick and heavy-armored imperial heavy infantry looked like ferocious beasts. The outer layer of the armor was densely covered with needles. The long red tassels fluttering on the top of the helmets floated in the wind, and the flexible steel pieces scale The armor is inlaid with joints, and the front is made of a thick piece of steel armor. The swords of the Kalisu army only added a white mark when they slashed on it, and the weapons in the hands of these imperial heavy armored infantry were even more terrifying. Either a two-handed sword with a length of 1.8 meters, or a heavy two-handed ax with a length of 2.2 meters. Anyway, it only takes one round to knock away the opponent's shield and split the opponent's armor. At this moment, the edge of the weapon is All of them had been dyed a shocking red by human blood. Such a ferocious enemy tore through the back line of the border guards in one breath. With a domineering attitude that despised everything, he killed the Kali Su army and retreated step by step, trying to stabilize their position. Can't do it even at once

Fifty meters from the rear line of defense is the middle section where the Kalisu royal army is located, "It's the imperial heavy armored infantry!"

We have to stay steady, we can’t let the other side kill us in one go.”

Almost screaming, the officers of the Calisu royal family gasped with pale faces. How could they stop such a large number of heavy armored infantry? Who can stop it! The royal officers saw swarms of arrows coming from all over the place, drawing brilliant arcs in the sky, and then fiercely piercing into the ranks of their subordinates. The arrows tore through the armor and pierced into the flesh fiercely, bringing them with them. A cloud of blood arose, The Royal Army, which was still preparing, suddenly rolled over. It was not far from the rear line of the Imperial Army's attack. In other words, the landing point of these arrow clusters was exactly thirty or forty meters in front of the Imperial Attack Line. location!

This is the unique shooting method of Nord archers. They follow behind the attacking troops, raise the imperial crossbows at a 45-degree angle into the sky, and shoot out pieces of crossbow arrows. They only need to estimate the distance and prepare for the attack. The advancing infantry line tore open a gap, and a large number of Kalisu royal troops fell under the cover of crossbow arrows, killing through the imperial queue of the border guards at the rear. Blackness spread like an avalanche over the entire rear area, and even a glance could be seen. There is no end

"We were tricked by Elliot, it was a trap!"

Facing the imperial swarm that came like a tsunami and landslide, the frightened royal army could no longer figure out the situation. Someone shouted in the crowd, and it immediately caused an explosion-like effect. They were very dissatisfied with the border guards in their hearts. The royal army officers even believed that Eliot had ulterior motives in placing them in the middle position. Because whether they are attacked from the front or from behind, the border guards only need to retreat slightly to push the royal army to the front line, while the border guards can preserve their strength. With this idea, the royal army will be able to advance the imperial army. The strength of the resistance suddenly weakened. Since the border guards deliberately concealed their strength, there was no need for the royal army to fight to the death!

As the commander of the army, Elliot obviously did not notice this. After receiving the news that the imperial army appeared in the rear, the veteran border guard just snorted with a stern expression, "I know."

The mountain breeze blew his pale hair flying, and his waist, which was no longer young, was slightly curved, but his old and thin cheeks were still as hard as a knife. His sharp gaze swept across the battlefield ahead. All the elite border guards have been mobilized. You can imagine what the situation is like on the back line.

However, with the elites of the royal army standing in the way, I hope to buy a little more time. Although the performance of those so-called elites is really not very good, but the so-called trapped beast is still fighting, and now it is forced into such a situation by the imperial army, even the royal family who has not been trained in iron and blood The army should also be able to unleash its own fighting power.

As an experienced commander, Elliot knew very well that the only way to survive the attack from the two fronts of the empire was to forcibly damage the front line. The number of imperial troops blocking him was only two or three. Thousands of people, and his own border guards also With 30,000 filled up, even if the imperial army in front cannot be defeated, it can at least severely damage the opponent's strength. As long as it once again penetrates into the dense forest area that stretches for hundreds of miles in the Kalisu area, even if the imperial army has the advantage in strength, it will only be able to defeat the enemy. To be able to look forward to oneself and sigh,

When he heard the low horn sound coming from behind, Elliot turned around in shock. The advance of the imperial army had actually reached a hundred meters away. The royal army in the middle was scattered in panic. The most realistic royal army The fifth regiment began to evacuate towards the entrance of the valley, followed by the soldiers of the eighth regiment of the royal army. Under the influence of the unauthorized withdrawal of the two infantry regiments of the royal army, more of the royal army was wavering and showed signs of collapse. , the front is on the verge of collapse. The royal army, which he had given high hopes for, almost got out of the way. Not to mention blocking the advance of the imperial army, they directly abandoned the border guards who were still fighting for them in front, and let the border guards act as targets to attract the imperial army. In this way Only then can the royal army have a chance to evacuate safely

His Majesty the King is dead, and it is of little significance to return to the capital at this moment. How to preserve one's strength is the most important. The royal officers have similar ideas. Faced with a two-front attack by the brutal imperial army, who will care about the border guards? , the backs of tens of thousands of border guards were completely exposed to the imperial army!

"Carisu is finished!" Elliot's eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. He was extremely disappointed with the performance of the royal army. At this time, these royal members still only consider personal interests. This is the painstaking efforts of the Carisu royal family. The so-called royal elite cultivated, and such commanders have now almost controlled Carrie Among more than 60% of the troops of the Su Kingdom, if His Majesty the King is still there, he may still be able to suppress the tyranny of these officers. But now the royal capital has been breached by the empire, and His Majesty the King has died. It is conceivable that Once such news spreads to the south, what will happen to the Kalisu army in the south!

'"Order the border guards to withdraw across the board!"

Elliot ordered with a cold look and a bitter voice. The royal army had completely sold his back, but these stupid guys didn't know that when they turned around and ran away, they really sold their back! If there is a big piece of fat in front of you, who would be willing to gnaw on a hard bone, and what I have to do now is to tell the imperial army that this hard bone of mine is not easy to gnaw on! Although the border guards suffered some losses, there were still more than 20,000 people in total. They had just experienced a bloody battle. Although they were very tired, they were all full of energy. As the order was issued, the frontier guards attacked the slopes. Withdrawing like a tide, the experienced Elliot immediately retreated the border guards to a position in the valley that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Sure enough, as he expected, the imperial army did not attack this side with all its strength. Instead, it sent all the cavalry towards the fleeing royal army. The horses' hooves roared and smoke filled the sky. The rushing imperial cavalry rushed towards them. Hundreds of people are crazy for one team Moving forward, they completely turned a blind eye to Elliott's border guards who were thirty or forty meters away. The sturdy cavalry in black armor drove down from the heights in groups, pulling out the blood-stained swords in their hands, like hungry wolves. He pounced towards the royal army running towards the entrance of the valley.

"What should I do, just watch the royal army being massacred?"

"Make it clear, we are the ones who are abandoned, not the royal army. If we don't do this, we will be the ones who are massacred!" "But if the royal army dies, it will be our turn!" "I heard that the imperial army does not kill Prisoners! "There was also a cry from the border guards. There was a low voice of discussion, and then there was silence among the more than 20,000 border guards. They were local border guards, not from the royal army near the royal capital. Their wives and children were all in the Balua area, and now the Balua area is obviously has fallen into the hands of the Imperial Army
