Realm of Power

The long-lost morning light began to illuminate the great plain in front of him. Estant immediately looked at the battlefield littered with corpses, his eyes complicated. Estant, who was a Nord soldier, used to look down on the Kugits with undisciplined military discipline, but now he had no choice but to do so. Admit it, the emperor of the empire is indeed the immortal monarch who knows the Kugit people best, and he can actually It was rumored that the Xiting cavalry did not dare to fight to the death, and they fought with the momentum of not retreating. The momentum of the deadly battle last night turned out to be so terrifying. Under the continuous attacks of the Xiting cavalry who were not afraid of death, The resistance of Martin Liya's infantry group was finally defeated in the early morning, leaving thousands of corpses scattered on the ground and fleeing.

The air is filled with a strong smell of blood that lingers for a long time. The roads along the way are full of traces left after bloody battles. There are piles of corpses, blood everywhere, and there are dead people and dead horses. Especially in the places where the cavalry attacks in the West Court were the most brutal, corpses with severed limbs and arms were piled up to form a hill.

The result of this battle completely surprised Estante. A result that he originally thought was impossible was actually achieved. Moreover, even after he issued the order to withdraw, row after row of Xiting's armored cavalry still remained. He was still fighting fiercely, his belly was rising and falling as the horse was running, obviously he had tried his best. With the last bit of energy, with each impact, the swords stabbed each other, and they nimbly turned to pass the spears that were standing up like a forest. Those who were a little slow to react were stabbed off their horses, and were trampled by countless horse hooves. Their fighting spirit was extremely tenacious, and their determination to fight to the death was no longer inferior to that of the Nord elites at the time.

As a Nord general who dominates infantry battles, Estant has always believed that although the Kukit cavalry with long bows and fierce horses are powerful, they are only limited to flat terrain. Once faced with a strong wall, the role of the cavalry will be greatly reduced. At a huge discount, only the perseverance of Nord soldiers can conquer all the great gates under their feet. But the scene last night completely broke his impression. It turns out that the grassland army also has such a strong combat effectiveness and a perseverance that is not weaker than any soldier.

In the battle last night, nearly 4,000 Xiting cavalry were damaged, 5,000 to 6,000 Xiting cavalry were injured, and 30,000 Xiting troops were disabled. However, the result for Martin Li Ya's army was even worse, with a total force of 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers killed in the battle. A conservative estimate of the number of corpses exceeds 30,000. The remaining tens of thousands fled for their lives, and military flags were discarded all over the ground. And weapons, this means that Martin Liya's largest heavy troop group on the Western Front was completely defeated. This is definitely a strategic winner for the Western Front, and the appearance of the trace was actually due to the Xiting Cavalry. Fighting to the death... Estante withdrew his gaze from a distance and felt a little in his heart.

"Reporting to Sir Estant, there is no Martin Liya Army near the entire battlefield. Please tell me where we should go next." General Xiting, who was responsible for searching the battlefield, looked excited and led a dozen of them. The subordinates rode horses from the opposite side and saluted Estante with a rare sense of recognition in their expressions.

"It seems that your hostility towards me has lessened a lot."

After Estante looked slightly stunned, he sighed and said, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of defeated Martin Liya troops could not have imagined that the Xiting cavalry who fought against them had actually never been able to deal with him, and these Xiting cavalry were still under his command. After receiving the order to retreat, he stubbornly moved forward to defeat them. It seems that the commander of Martin Liya Army was a little unjust. Faced with the strong attack of 30,000 cavalry, the opponent fought with a group of infantry with inferior strength. He persisted for three hours and fought hard until even his own formation was overwhelmed. The collapse of the entire army is, under normal circumstances, a feat that we can be proud of.

But at this moment, in this battle on the Western Front, Martin is destined to play a disgraceful role.

On the Western Front, due to the collapse of the infantry group, there is no suspense. Even if the Silver Fox was able to deceive the Ansers in Stam, it was already in vain. The Ansers were not fools, so they were frightened by the Silver Fox. It's because they don't know the details of Silver Fox's military strength. Once it is known that Silver Fox's real main force has been defeated halfway, the speed of Anse's side turning against him will definitely be very fast.

"I'm sorry, we did have objections to you before, because we thought that the glory of the Battle of Hokuriku was originally won by me in the West Court with blood, but in the end it all fell on you and we were dissatisfied. But now, we have I have no complaints to you, sir." The sturdy Xiting general showed his white teeth and said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Maybe it's because of the war in Hokuriku. I actually think that the Imperial Intelligence Department deliberately misled me, but now your attitude towards me has suddenly changed for the better, which makes me very confused." Estante hesitated and said, Because of the collapse of the Hokuriku Group, the various departments in Xiting had always had a cold attitude towards him. Today, they were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, which really surprised him.

The battle that made Estant famous as a rising star of the Empire was the battle that destroyed the Hokuriku nobles in just half a month. In that battle, the main attacking force was actually the West Court Army. However, under the instruction of the Emperor, the Imperial Intelligence Department Deliberately claiming that Estante was the overall commander, with the sharp cooperation of the Empire's Western Court Army and the West Coast Army, the entire Hokuriku was finally included in the Empire's territory in just fifteen days.

Therefore, all the forces in the mainland naturally regarded the Xiting Army as the subordinate of Aistant. Naturally, all the achievements of the Xiting Army fell on Aistant. However, for the various forces in the Xiting Army, they felt very sad in their hearts. He was the main reason for Hokuriku's surrender, but he was ignored by others.

Without the Western Court landing from the north, the Seventeenth House of Hokuriku would not have collapsed internally so quickly. If it were not for the pressure from the Western Court Army, the heads of the Hokuriku Noble Corps would not have gathered in Ellensburg and were the first to advance into the North. Lu and powerfully crushing the Hokuriku aristocratic group is the Xiting Army, Moreover, the situation in Hokuriku at that time, even if Estante did not launch a counterattack against Hokuriku, Hokuriku would not be able to survive the attack on the West Court for fifteen days. Moreover, in the Battle of Hokuriku, Ai won the victory in the end. All Stant did was wait at the entrance to Hokuriku.

As the commander of the imperial army who entered Hokuriku later, Estante was able to achieve a rare victory in the Battle of Hokuriku. He only achieved the glory of annihilating the entire Hokuriku Group in just ten days by taking advantage of the impact of the Xiting Army. Achievements! How can the rebellious Xiting troops be convinced in their hearts when they have done their best, but their reputation belongs to others? To put it bluntly, the reputation of the famous general Aistant can be said to have been born on the shoulders of their Xiting army.

Although the Battle of Hokuriku was only a local battle, it attracted the attention of the entire Obaro Continent. The imperial army went on a killing spree outside Roston City, beheading 60,000 Hokuriku nobles in one fell swoop, and wiping out the Hokuriku noble group. The core characters were almost uprooted. At the same time, the heads of the Hokuriku nobles collectively sank into the lake unexpectedly in Ellensburg. The hasty surrender of the Hokuriku families was seen as a symbolic event of the empire's cruelty. I'm afraid Estant himself didn't know that what he had achieved in one fell swoop due to the Battle of Hokuriku was actually a notorious one, so after learning King Falcon Khan specially put this Estante in full charge of this battle. The usually brutal Xiting army also felt the pressure.

The leaders of various ministries also secretly discussed how to make this famous imperial general look good, but later they gave up. In fact, the Xiting army also knew that the achievements of the Battle of Hokuriku were attributed to Estant, and it was obviously Falcon Khan. The king meant that, because from the beginning to the end, the West Court Army was not a regular army of the empire, and Estante was the official commander of the empire, and the sinking of Ellensburg was real. It's so unbelievable that no other country would believe it if I told him. Instead of doing this, it's better to acquiesce. Anyway, Estante's reputation has been completely stained with human blood in the Battle of Roxton City. Adding Ellensburg is not enough. At best, he is cruel and perverted, but last night's battle made the heads of the various departments in Xiting give up this idea, or they may have misunderstood this famous imperial general in the past.

"The reason why we respect your lord is because your lord issued a retreat order last night when the battle situation was at a stalemate." The Xiting general gave an answer that made Estante look dull.

"An order to retreat? I don't understand. Is there a problem with issuing a retreat order under such circumstances? And you didn't follow this order." Estante asked with a look of astonishment, "Your Excellency, can you still take care of me in that situation?" The troops in Xiting suffered casualties and issued a withdrawal order. Our Xiting generals are mindful of this. "The Xiting general smiled and said, "Because this is enough to show that you do not regard our Xiting man as a source of income." If you are a cannon fodder with your own military merit, you will never give the order to withdraw. Otherwise, in last night's battle, our 30,000 cavalrymen in the West Court fought to the death. It is only a matter of time before Martin Li Ya's army collapses. I believe your Excellency is very aware of this. Yes, and we have also made preparations for His Excellency to issue an order to fight to the death, but our Xiting side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but we did not expect that His Excellency will issue a retreat order at that time. ""

"Your Excellency, if you can put the damage to our troops first, instead of completely treating my Xiting man as a sacrificial object, it will be enough to gain the respect of my Xiting man."

Hearing the words of General Xiting, Estante showed a daze on his face. He did not expect that the retreat order he issued last night could have such an effect. At the same time, he also felt a little palpitated about the situation of the Xiting Army. If the commanded by the Xiting Army last night It is the other imperial generals who have become accustomed to the tenacious combat style of the regular army, or they would not issue a retreat order at all, but instead order a forced advance.

And not everyone can face such a glorious military achievement at their fingertips and still consider the life and death of the people in Xiting!

Estant himself has this mentality. Before last night, Estant still looked down on the West Court Army, because in the eyes of most regular soldiers of the empire, the East and West Courts are expendables, although the East and West Courts are in the Imperial Army. Her status is not low, her combat power is absolutely fierce, and the forces of the two courts definitely have a place in the empire. Among the eleven princesses, three are from the two courts, which is unique in the harem of the empire.

In terms of the various forces within the empire's territory, the two courts are huge. The total number of cavalry exceeds 200,000. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the largest cavalry group in the empire. The empire has allocated the wilderness thousands of miles to the north to the two courts, but in In essence, after all, the two courts are not the true subjects of the empire. After all, they are not purely affiliated with the empire. The empire has given the two courts great autonomy. At the same time as the power, the identity also prevented Liangting from being on an equal footing with the regular army of the empire. It has to be said that the emperor knew the ferocious beasts like Liangting too clearly. Liangting was like a vicious wolf raised at home, and he could give it Feeding meat can drive people to bite, but it is absolutely impossible to do so with loyal dogs, because wolves have to eat meat, and wolves can also hurt their owners if they are not managed properly.

"Gather the whole army, let's go to Stam!" Estante drew his sword and pointed to the east, took a deep breath, and shouted. Countless West Court cavalry just looked at Estant's tall figure and watched the mountain wind blow him away. His cloak was rolled up high behind him.

Stam,

The late autumn sun has lost its heat, and the humidity is still quite high after Gastam enters the rainy season. A layer of white mist like water can be seen flowing on the ground, and the silver fox is sitting on the watchtower raised high in the camp. Then, playing with a few small stones in his hand, his eyes fell on another special envoy of the Martin Li Ya Army who was slowly coming towards this direction, with disdain on his lips. With a slight glance, Anse seemed to be unable to control it internally. After he put forward the conditions for letting the Anse army leave, although Anse had not responded yet, some Anse tribes could not help but go their own way. "Send an envoy here." Please give our clan a certificate that will allow our clan to leave Langxia, and our clan will withdraw its troops from Stam immediately."

The special envoy knelt on his knees in front of the man who was feared by the entire southern European Barrow. He said with a trembling voice. There was a violent trembling sound in the air, and a small stone hit the pale man. The head of the special envoy bounced up and rolled a few times after landing on the ground. The special envoy's face was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the blood on his head. He held the stone in his hands as if he was holding some treasure.

Silver Fox said coldly, "Take this and leave Stam within an hour. I can promise not to attack you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Taking the small stone that the Silver Fox picked up casually, the envoy left with a million thanks. At this moment, in the eyes of Anse's ministries, it was extremely stupid to continue to stay in Stam. , was almost defeated last night. That was because the main force of Silver Fox did not arrive. Once the main force of Silver Fox arrived, Anse's entire army collapsed.

Don't look at Anser's efforts to reinforce the camp and assume a posture of fighting to the end. In fact, everyone knows that from the moment the imperial cavalry turned around and walked away, Anser's military morale was shaken. Arnowell sent his personal guards to Leaving the camp to boost morale is just to save some face. We are not fools. It is of little use if the military mental calculation can be maintained for a little longer. Stam can't stay any longer.

Not to mention that there are still 300,000 Martin Liya people in Stam City who can counterattack at any time. Facing the army of Martin Liya's first wise general Silver Fox, it is also the result of ten deaths. People are panicked, and various ministries have begun to secretly withdraw troops,

"The Esta tribe just evacuated without permission."

"Those bastards from the Stanland tribe have also escaped!"

"Lord Slick from the Buta tribe sent word that the Sta tribe is weak and would be a burden to stay here. Please allow me to evacuate."

Arnold's face was ashen as he listened to the report, and he looked at the flags flying in the camp with cold eyes. The bodyguard behind him gave him a scented kerchief, but he didn't care to appreciate this thing that only the high-ranking nobles of Martin Liya had, and just wiped his face hard twice. Throw the kerchief to the ground. Stand up and stamp your feet hard

"These bastards don't have the brains to think about it. Once everyone disperses, Martin Li Ya can defeat them one by one!"

"Sir, the situation is now like this. In order to escape for their lives, the ministries still have so many things to do there." The generals of the Anuo tribe also asked for an evacuation order. Whoever can leave early will have a greater chance to escape from Lang Xiya. He jumped out as fast as he could, because even if Silver Fox broke his promise and started chasing him, he would definitely be the last to be the unlucky one. In the final analysis, the sooner he ran away, the better. Lang Xia would never come back to this place again!

Arnovel spoke forcefully, but in his heart there was a continuous cry of distress. He did not expect that the people of the various departments would disperse so quickly. The main force of Silver Fox had not arrived yet, and the departments were already scared out of their wits. Could it be that two hundred thousand people secretly lost their courage? Anse's army is not as good as two thousand imperial cavalry. Is Anse really so far away from this powerful country on the mainland? He snorted heavily between the wings of his nose, "You bastard, it was such a good fight, why did it end up like this!"
