Realm of Power

In the early morning light, the smoke and dust rolled up by the Anser army felt like it was covering the sky and the sun. The looted city of Catu was already a ruins of thick smoke. With the occupation of Edin Reese, Mattingly The gate of the Yaxi Line has been forcibly pushed open. The dry autumn of Martinli Ya Prairie is more chilling than before. The rain that we have been looking forward to for two months has also begun to fall a little bit at this time.

Mixed with the wind of the wilderness, the grass and trees on the vast land were blowing. The wind blew so hard that people felt that their whole body was full of energy. The Anser army that could not be seen to the end was heading west.

Onward, onward, onward!

Facing the Martin Liya western defense line that was so easily opened, the entire Anser high-level staff was already boiling. In just six days, the Anser army had advanced more than 150 miles on the western border of Martin Liya, defeating Martin Liya. The defenders were about 30,000 people, and seven Martinliya gathering places were captured. The number of Martinliya prisoners captured alone reached 110,000.

Especially after the 100,000 Anser army captured Kathu, they carried out a massacre for two full days. In addition to leaving tens of thousands of corpses piled up, more than 30,000 Martinliya women were also robbed. The mountains of golden treasures piled more than ten meters high on Guangping were estimated by imperial merchants who accompanied the army to buy trophies. The price is at least between 1.8 million imperial gold and 2.2 million imperial gold. Of course, this is the result of deliberate exploitation by imperial merchants to lower the price. The actual value may at least be doubled, but for those who are already short of money, they are short of money. For Anse's senior management, whose eyes turned green, he was already ecstatic about the income of more than one million.

You must know that Anse is a tribe with low productivity, and each tribe is in charge of its own affairs. There is no unified concept of taxation at all. Although it currently occupies the southern part of Kalisu, the Hanlu Mountain Alliance composed of Anse tribes starts from each tribe in a month. The contribution award received by the clan is only four to five million yuan.

Anse, a small barbarian tribe that just came from the southern mountains, has occupied the southern area of ​​​​Kalisu, but it is actually quite unstable internally. With hundreds of thousands of people resettled, the output in a quarter is only more than one million. With Jin’s financial resources, there are also a steady stream of new personnel to be accommodated, and there are various expenses waiting for money. To say that they are stretched is an understatement, and it is simply red-eyed.

In order to break through the resistance of the Kalisu people, the financial resources they had accumulated over the past few decades were all spent. In the southern battle of Kalisu, the Anser tribe mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to participate in the war. It can be said that the fourteenth All the men between the ages of sixty and sixty were mobilized, and then they had the overwhelming power of the Anshe army to cross the southern wall to destroy the country.

But with the end of the war in the south of Kalisu, these mobilized troops should return. However, in order to cope with the pressure from the empire, all races have to try their best to maintain peak combat strength. This is okay for a short time, but over time, no one can bear it. The main reason why various ethnic groups fight for territory is because their financial resources are exhausted and the army cannot support them. If they can't afford it, they don't think of a solution from nearby. There has always been a call for expansion within Anse, so the Arno tribe used the hands of the empire to destroy the Dark Tower tribe. No one from other tribes thought of standing up for the Dark Tower tribe. Instead, he immediately sat down on the ground to share the spoils impatiently. He had no choice, he was almost dying, who could care about others?

July is already halfway through, and we can still barely get food through hunting and picking in the dense forest. When winter enters October, that's when it really kills people. We can't solve this problem before winter comes, and we can't cross the southern wall. The number of Anse people must be reduced by at least half. Under such a crisis, even if you bite the bullet, you must give it a try.

It's just that Anse's senior management didn't expect that this move would bring out a big golden pig. Even the leader of the Arno tribe, Arnowell, didn't expect that the harvest this time would be so amazing. No one expected that the so-called Southern European Barrow The most powerful country, the Kingdom of Martinliya, which had just swallowed half of the Kingdom of Harvey and was no worse than the Empire, was so vulnerable to a fight.

The important town of Kathu fell almost instantly, and Edinris, which was garrisoned by 6,000 elites, only held on for three days. The only thing that still caused some concern was the Elun Valley to the north of Kathu, but according to the intelligence sent back Look, the Elon Valley is learning that the two lands have collapsed. After falling behind, they did not send troops to rescue them. Instead, they shrank the tens of thousands of troops in the valley. It seemed that they were too frightened by the invincible fighting power of Anse's 200,000-strong army to dare to come out. The Martin Liya people were nothing more than that. South European Barrow is nothing more than that! In fact, my Anse is still very strong. How can I get enough points in one card map area? I need at least three card maps and four card maps!

"Estant, tell me what exactly your Majesty wants to do?"

Lytle immediately stood on the slope near the road, watching the Anse people's high-spirited army. As far as his eyes could see, a flag was flying like the sea, the sword was like snow, the spear was like cloud, and the new conqueror was as powerful as a rainbow. With his military appearance at its peak, Lytle could not help but frown slightly, and asked Estante next to him in a low voice. As the battle turned one-sided, the Anser's attitude had changed considerably.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he could feel it from the eyes of the Anse people.

If the Anser side was still somewhat hesitant about this battle before, and was afraid of Martin Liya, the first-class power in southern Europe, now it has turned this fear into a sudden expansion of confidence and ambition. The Ser nobles have begun to clamor that the empire is a party to the joint war, and They are still the main enemy of the Martin Liya people, but they only sent two thousand cavalry and more than a dozen catapults to participate in the battle. They were simply sitting back and enjoying the results. The Anser army sent troops from the west to attack the Martin Liya Kingdom. In fact, it was to relieve the empire of the Order State. The pressure on the battlefield, so the empire should provide greater support

"It's not modesty, it's just that I don't know either."

Estante's eyes flashed, he spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what the emperor wants to do. At first, I thought the emperor wanted to let the Ansers go to the backyard of the Martin Liya people and burn them to death." This was used to force Martin Li Yajun to dispatch troops to come back, but over the past few days, I realized that I had also been deceived."

"You mean...that's not the emperor's intention?"

Lytle was shocked when he heard this, because that's what he thought, and not only did he think that, but the Anse people also thought so. It can even be said that from the time when the emperor destroyed the northern continent and cleared the way for the south, From a moment on, the entire continent of Obaro has guessed that the direction of the empire’s counterattack must be the Kalisu region.

"I believe Lord Lytle has made some judgments in the past few days. I believe Lord Lytle knows better than me about the combat effectiveness of the Anser Army. If you were the emperor, how much expectation would you place on the Anser Army? "Estant curled his lips slightly with disdain. After all, he is also one of the famous generals in the mainland. How could he not see that the Anse Army may be able to gain power for a while, but I am afraid it will not last long. Once Martin Liya's army returns, Anse People are afraid that they will be defeated by a bunch of people

In the past few days, he was deeply impressed by the poor command system of the Anser people. A Katu defended by 3,000 Martin Liya troops was actually fought by 100,000 Anser troops for two full days. Except for the Anuo tribe, they did not want to lose too much. In addition to this reason, the main reason is that the tribes do not obey orders. They all want to get benefits, but they are unwilling to contribute. Seeing that others are about to break through, there are also those who randomly shoot arrows behind them to hinder them.

It’s no wonder that the southern wall defense line of the Calisu people blocked the Dark Seers for decades, and the gap in weapons and equipment is even greater. Among the 100,000 Dark Seers, only 40,000 are actually armored, and the other 60,000 Most of them are leather armor, and the weapons are all kinds of. The entire Anser can't even build a catapult. After taking a card and filling in more than 4,000 people, the defense line of the defenders was torn apart. What happened next was even more funny. The Ansers who overran the defenders did not pursue the enemy. The first thing they did was... It was to collect the property from the corpse, so he was killed by the Martin Liya defenders who retreated into the city, and almost drove them off the city wall.

In anger, Arnowell personally ordered the execution of the three Centenarians who returned. If the Arno clan was like this, one can imagine the situation of other clans. Sure enough, when the city was broken, it was almost chaos. Before they were completely cleared, they began to encircle their own territory. No one was willing to give in to the other. At least four tribes started fighting among themselves.

Can such an army compete with the elite Martin Liya?

Impossible

Estante was shaking his head in his heart. If nothing else, everyone knew that the Martin Liya Prairie itself was dominated by the Martin Liya light cavalry. The Martin Liya people were one of the few great cavalry nations among the Barro countries in southern Europe. They were known as The barbaric country with 300,000 cavalry made the Barrow countries in southern Europe hate it with hatred, while the Anse people hired infantry of the same color, and they still had no idea what a light infantry formation was.

Under the sweeping sweep of the Martin Liya cavalry group, the Anser Army may not even be able to gain a foothold.

If the emperor ordered the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in the Kalisu area to move in, it might be possible to suppress Martin Li Ya, but until now, the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Kalisu area have not made any progress. I mean, if you still can’t see that the emperor’s strategic goal is not on the Western Front at this moment, then it’s not Estante!

Estante didn't know that the emperor had used so many methods to make everyone think that the empire's counterattack was in the direction of Callisu. What did he want to do? "Estant really couldn't understand. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Lytle, "Forget it, it doesn't matter that Vaughan can't understand. During the Battle of Hokuriku, the emperor is probably already thinking about us. As the emperor, The leading layout master in the entire continent, the Emperor God, wants to People always see through their thoughts, and I am afraid they will become angry. Otherwise, although they did not say anything about the final failure of the Battle of Hokuriku, they brought themselves and Lytle to the side of the Anse Army. , it’s clear that you and I are going to suffer a little bit.

Don't think about it either. What kind of person the emperor is and what kind of eyes he has. Can he see that the Anse people will be defeated if they send troops?

There seems to be no use in inserting myself and Lytle in. Letting myself show off the might of the empire in the strategy of Edin Reese is nothing more than expressing the attitude of the empire as an allied force. What can we achieve by giving us two thousand imperial cavalry? The only effect is that the 30,000 Xiting cavalry sent to the Elun Valley are the emperor's real trump card. As long as they capture the Elun Valley, they are condescending and an imperial sword that can intervene at any time. But this imperial sword I'm afraid it's not just Martin Liya people who are targeted!

"You mean, the emperor is going to attack the Anser people?" Lytle's eyes were bright and frightening, and his fingers holding the reins of the war horse made a rattling sound.

"The so-called thunder in silence, this is the emperor's usual method. If the emperor does not take action, it's fine, but once he takes action, it's a sure kill!" Estante took a deep breath, glanced at the nervous Leiter, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't think about it at first, but the emperor actually sent you here, so I have to think about it. Although I don't know what the emperor's real intention is, I can feel that the emperor is waiting, waiting for the Martinliya army to return, waiting for the Anse army to be defeated, and waiting for the 200,000 Anse troops to be defeated like a tsunami and landslide. If the 30,000 iron cavalry of the West Court of the Empire suddenly swarmed southward and cut in, then, as long as the retreat of the 200,000 Anse defeated troops is cut off , forcing them to return to fight the Martinliya people

At that time, your role will come out. You are a Kalisu people. The Anse people killed so many Kalisu people in Kalisu. Your eyes are red when you look at the Anse people. Let alone using force to force the Anse army to fight the Martinliya army to death, even if all these 200,000 Anse people died in Martinliya, I believe you would not frown at all! "

"Indeed, it would be better if all these Anse people died. They owed me too much. If the emperor wants me to cut off the Anse people's retreat, I will definitely agree without hesitation!" Laitel said with a ferocious look and gritted teeth, "I originally wanted the emperor to send me to assist the Anse people. I am quite dissatisfied, but when I hear you say that, I know that such a person is the lord who is truly worthy of my loyalty."

Outside the capital of Kalisu, the land that had just been irrigated by rain, the fertile soil exposed after the large-scale rainforest felling was crushed by the speeding wheels. Sam Tamara's pretty face was livid, and she tightly squeezed the report in her hand. The fall of Katu and the two-day massacre caused at least more than 100,000 casualties. All the efforts that Sam Tamara had devoted in the past two years turned into ruins. The Anser army was advancing along the western line towards the hinterland. As expected, the Anser people launched an attack on the western part of Martinliya, but Sam Tamara did not expect that since "Your Highness, although I have written a letter to Lord Lusi, the guard officer of Katu, Lord Lusi does not think that the Anser people will turn against us so quickly. What's more, there is Edingris in front. It will not be too late to start evacuation after Edingris issues a warning. No one expected that the Anser army would bypass Edingris and rush straight to Katu. Lord Lusi led his troops to fight to the death, but finally failed to hold it!" Sharin reported cautiously on the opposite side. "Forget it, the fall of Katu is not all bad. At least no one will doubt my Sam tribe anymore." Sam Tamara's eyes flashed, and she took a deep breath with her chest heaving slightly. "For the future of the Sam tribe, sacrificing a Katu is nothing."
