Realm of Power

The sun shines through the thin clouds in early autumn, and a layer of milky white mist covers the front. Blow by the breeze, the light mist slowly rises from the ground, and the scene in front suddenly becomes much fresher and clearer. Large tracts of dense forest have turned into rolling slopes, and areas that were once blocked can now see almost anywhere five kilometers away. At the edge where the sky and the earth connect, you can still vaguely see the rolling clouds, which is in strong contrast with the calm and comfortable look here. It is the junction point between the northern area controlled by the empire and the southern area controlled by Anser.

One side is still shrouded in dense forests, and the other side is the fertile land exposed as a large area of ​​dense forests was cut down. The dense forests in the south and the north are like being cut into two pieces by a huge knife. Now What is displayed in front of tens of thousands of Anser troops is such an empty area. Just now The reclaimed land was covered with a kind of light green crops, which were trembling slightly in the wind blowing over the hills. An Anser general with a dark blue scorpion tattoo on his right cheek got off his horse and stepped on it. With such a green color, he quietly observed the area less than five kilometers away in front of him.

"Clan Chief, although the Martin Liya people have sent news that they will start action at noon today, before we get the exact news, it is better not to cross this border for the time being, in case His Highness Alokasu..." An Anse man The officer whispered in the general's ear He said in a loud voice, hesitating to speak, "It's just a tentative border line. What will happen if I cross it? I don't believe that the imperial army dares to fight against Anser just because I crossed the border line. "That Anser A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of General Se's mouth. His eyes flashed and he said, "And that woman will not come back. No matter whether the soldiers of the Martin Liya people can kill her or not, as long as we cause the fact of attacking the border, the empire that has always upheld the principle of blood for blood and tooth for tooth will not take it lightly." Spare her, then we can In the name of uniting with other dark ministries and asking His Highness to save the woman, they marched northward and attacked the Hokuriku noble army from north to south. By then, it would not only be possible to obtain the northern region of Carisu, but also the fat on the west coast. Take a piece of the pie!”

"That said, I'm afraid the words of the Martin Liya people are not trustworthy. Just look at the Kalisu people and you will know that the Martin Liya people are not trustworthy." The officer next to him frowned slightly, still a little uneasy. They were The Kata tribe within the Anse tribe has a total population of 470,000, but This time when they moved into the southern region of Kalisu, the Kata tribe only received a quota of 30,000 people, while the Arno tribe, the largest Anser tribe, had a total of 300,000 people move in, so in terms of distribution, The severely dissatisfied Kata tribe is also one of the main forces clamoring for expansion into more areas and a large-scale expansion to the north.

However, the A'aobu, as the first department, had an unclear attitude towards the requirements of each department, and even sent a team represented by Anokasi to go to the capital of Kalisu to negotiate with the empire. Once the negotiations were successful, the people in front of them would be Now that the pattern is completely settled, what future does the Kata Department have? Everyone worked hard to fight their way out of the battle in the mountains. Is it just for sharing the leftovers?

No matter what, we cannot let this negotiation succeed!

There are many tribes who have this idea. After all, the southern region of Kalisu is too small to satisfy the appetites of the Anse tribes. Decades of war and decades of desire have given the Anse tribes a strong desire to reach the north of the mountains. All kinds of greedy imaginations now tell them that they can only stay in the area south of Kalisu, which is only three to four hundred miles away. After the initial victory, voices full of complaints also kept coming and going.

At this time, the representative of the Martin Liya people in Anser approached the Kata tribe, proposed this method, and clearly informed the Kata tribe that arrangements had been made to assassinate Alokasu in the capital of King Kalisu. For a double guarantee, allowing the Kata tribe to cross the border during the negotiations and launch an attack on the empire on the other side of the border is just a gesture.

"Don't worry, there will be an assassination from the royal capital and an attack from our Katas tribe. It's a certain death situation. With the empire so angry, it will be too difficult for Alokasu to survive." Katas glanced around and suddenly became The open terrain is not He smiled knowingly and said coldly, "As long as Alokasu dies, the Alo tribe, which is the largest and most powerful, will have no choice but to go to war with the empire. As long as it can drag down the people living in the Kalisu area, One hundred thousand imperial troops, let the empire We are unable to mobilize troops to join the battlefield of the Order State. When the Martin Liga army breaks through the northern obstruction of the Order State, Martin Liga promises to hand over all the northern areas of Kalisu to our Kata tribe, and even the west coast of the empire can be considered. Yes, you must know that by then, the Martin Liya people who defeated the empire will be the southern overlord. A mere northern area of ​​Kalisu is nothing. With this southern overlord supporting our Kata tribe, even the Arnold tribe will have to weigh it. "portion"

At this moment, a cavalry galloped from behind and reported to Katas and "Head of the clan, the Siran tribe, the Gabia tribe, and the Silitai tribe are coming."

Sure enough, following the direction of the cavalry's finger, we saw soldiers from several tribes coming towards the border. There were 20,000 soldiers in total. However, they were only on one side of the border and did not dare to move forward. They just watched helplessly. The more than 10,000 troops of the Atta tribe who crossed the border line all had envy in their eyes. Crossing the border line meant going to war against the empire. Don't Seeing that the morale of Anse's various ministries has soared after defeating the Kalisu people, it's like a newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's fierceness. However, if they were to confront the most powerful military country in the Obarro continent, they would destroy the Kalisu in a week. The Kingdom's Northern Falcon Empire is like a wild boy in the countryside facing the rich man in the city, and is quite speculative and uneasy in his heart.

"Atabe's crossed the border?"

"Awesome, Katas and Ji are determined to embrace Martin Liya's lap, and are willing to be Martin Liya's pawns" x

There were waves of low-pitched discussions, and the leaders of several tribes had serious faces. Their fingers were holding the reins of their horses tightly, and their eyes were cold and bright. They were different from the tribesmen who did not know the inside story. They knew the Atta tribe very well. Who is behind the line? It is a test of the empire by several major officials. It has already begun in the entire south. The strategic layout of the Martin Liya people has soared into the sky and became the hegemon of the south. In this war for continental hegemony that has almost involved most of the south, a mere secret agent is nothing. As for them, they are just here to take a ride. As a little pawn, this sideline is the boundary river. As a little pawn, there is only one way to move forward after crossing it!

If you are a Martin Liya, you must hope that the Anse tribe can advance north, at least to prevent a hundred thousand imperial elites from participating in the main battlefield of the hegemony, at least to plunge the empire into chaos in the most important area of ​​​​Baro in southern Europe. With this alone, Martin Liya has gained half of the balance of southern hegemony. Of course, if the Martin Liya people win the southern hegemony in the end, the Ata tribe will also gain a soaring momentum. It is not impossible to replace the Aluo tribe and become the main tribe of Anser. This is a battle. A big gamble risks the future of the entire Kata Department. Not everyone has such courage or is crazy.

Behind the scenes, there were countless heads of ministries who had not come, but they were all staring at this place with wide eyes. The empire was now in a critical situation, and even its home base on the west coast was about to be seized by the nobles of the Hokuriku, but these 100,000 The imperial army is like nails on the line north of Kalisu. Are they really not afraid of losing the west coast and being attacked from both sides? This situation really stirred up the ambitions of Anse's various ministries, but they did not dare to be the first to reach out. Anokasu's intention to go north to negotiate was actually for the purpose of spying on the empire's reality.

"I want to take advantage, but I don't even dare to cross the border. If they don't need to put pressure on Arnold, who cares whether they live or die!"

Katasji looked at the big group of people stretching their heads and shrinking on the sideline. He couldn't help cursing at the corner of his mouth, just wait and see, isn't it the Empire? I'll show it to you on the sideline. , how did our Katas tribe defeat the imperial frontier army? Katas raised his hand, and the infantry behind him moved forward in a queue, the swords were cold and murderous. To the sky, the empire has always attached great importance to the border and has zero tolerance for border crossing. A few days ago, more than a dozen Anser soldiers who crossed the border were killed by the imperial border troops and their heads were hung on wooden pillars on the border. The border was only twenty meters long. Some Anse soldiers tried to cross the border to remove the heads of their compatriots, but they were all shot dead on the spot by imperial shooters.

This incident caused an uproar within Anse, and even triggered various dissatisfaction with the imperial frontier troops in various departments. The shouts for the north were even more constant. If this incident had not stimulated the top management of Anse, his Kata Department How could I cross the border with acquiescence and test the empire's reaction as a pawn? Your empire doesn't allow people to cross the border, so what if I cross the border now?

Today's vision is so good, and there is no obstruction from the dense forest, so many Ansei troops have gathered. Unless the eyes of the imperial frontier sentries are blind, how could they not notice the abnormal situation here! All that's left is to wait.

Sure enough, very soon, a dozen small black dots appeared on the slope in front of them, heading this way. They were wearing fine, eye-catching black chainmail, with dark red helmets on their heads, and mounted on their horses. Wearing cavalry bucklers, although there are only a dozen men and horses, the rush gives people the illusion of strong winds blowing on their faces. The falcon military emblem on the cavalry shields, what else can it be if it is not a ranger sentry of the imperial frontier army?" Here comes, It's the Imperial Frontier Army! "

Tens of thousands of people on the Anse side of the border started to commotion, but the heads of the other tribes subconsciously changed their expressions. You must know that the Anse army on the side of the border is tens of thousands, and a dozen cavalrymen from the empire Dare to come directly? For the Anse tribe leaders, it was so shocking that they couldn’t believe their eyes.

A dozen people versus tens of thousands of people, what do these imperial frontier troops want to do! "

Katasji's face was even more frighteningly livid, his teeth were almost broken, and his eyes were fixed on the imperial frontier cavalry that was getting closer and closer. They all said that the imperial army was very powerful, and they didn't know it north of Oparo. How many powerful armies from various countries have been defeated. The 200,000 main force of the Fezer royal family's army on the west coast was killed by the imperial cavalry in one battle, and those who were able to be selected into the Ranger Sentries, They are generally the best of the best, but even the best cannot be so arrogant. Just a dozen cavalrymen dare to attack the more than 10,000 infantrymen of their Kata tribe. This is no longer a battle, this is naked. Contempt, these dozen imperial border troops are obviously despising their own existence. "You are looking for death. Archers are ready, shoot them to death for me!"

Katas and gritted his teeth, fiercely pulled out his saber, pointed it at the dozen imperial cavalry running towards him, his face turned red and aggrieved, he shouted "brush" the thousands of Katas' archers, and they pulled out their bowstrings nervously. , they also saw blood in the battle in southern Kalisu, and the Anse people have always been warlike. They have participated in tribal wars since they were eleven or twelve years old. It is not that they have never killed people. They have seen blood, but they don’t know why. , their Looking at these dozen imperial cavalry, there was a feeling of being burned. Everyone held their breath and waited for the arrows to be fired. When the sharp arrows pointed at the running imperial cavalry, the metal arrows flashed in the sun. It flashes brightly, waiting for the opponent to enter the range of the bow and arrow, and then fires thousands of arrows. Even the so-called sophisticated empire armor, even if the opponent is really made of iron, cannot block so many arrows! "Woooo" Suddenly there was a loud and long horn sound, like a sharp sword piercing the sky. After hearing the horn, more than a dozen imperial cavalry running towards this direction finally began to disperse towards both sides. Looking at the dozen imperial cavalry who no longer wanted to fight with him, Katasji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Under normal circumstances, a dozen imperial frontier cavalry could be crushed to death with one finger, but now under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, the leaders of Anse's various ministries standing on the other side of the border , I don’t know how many people are waiting to see their own joke. The Kata tribe, which has an army of tens of thousands, was despised by more than a dozen imperial cavalry. This is nothing, to the Anser people who always admire bravery. , if this is reported back, it will definitely be the biggest laughing stock of the entire Anse.

How could Katas and others raise their heads in the Anse Department in the future? Even if Martin Liya took advantage of the spring breeze and took over the power of the Anse Department, how could all the ministries be convinced? Katas and others were about to be furious. Could it be that the battle in which he faced the future of his entire clan was fought against a dozen imperial cavalry? No such joke!

But before the slight smile on Katasji's lips disappeared, it suddenly solidified at the corners of his mouth. In front, on the left and right lines, there were black lines like a tide. He was definitely at the level of the main force of the imperial frontier army. This matter was serious. Seeing this scene, the other Anse troops on the border suddenly retreated hundreds of meters back.
