Realm of Power

The situation of the Southern European Barro War is just like the climate before us as we enter the cold winter. This battle for Southern European Barro hegemony that has lasted for more than a month has increasingly dazzled the European Barro countries. This war has started from falling leaves. The autumn of autumn has ushered in the cold winter, and the war has spread, and the war is raging.

Feize's army of nobles from the Northern Continent moved south to the west coast. The coalition forces of the southern princes of the Eero Empire went north to besiege the former capital of Eero. After Martin's half-million-strong army swept through the Kingdom of Harvey like a hurricane, he was involved in the church with the momentum of a great victory. The territory of the Tuan Kingdom spreads thousands of miles, from the rolling sea coast of Feijie to the fertile land of the Eero Empire, from the western entrance of the inland sea to Port Hérault, the largest port in the eastern section of the inland sea, affects almost half of the thousand-mile coastline to the north of Barro. In the history of Barro, there has never been a war affecting such a huge area. If so, then Such a scene was only seen in the more than ten years when the Holy City in the east of Barrow in southern Europe was divided and the countries came together more than a hundred years ago.

Millions of armies from both sides marched south and north, with surging war horses, ferocious armor, and cold swords. Countless towns were shrouded in the flames of war. With the fall of the Aero Empire, the Martin Liya people have become the psychological resistance of the entire southern European Barrow countries. The Empire's southward movement relied on them, and the Martin Liga people did not disappoint the other countries.

The extremely explosive Martin Liga people were invincible and attacked the Holy Capital of the Order State in one fell swoop. Like a sharp dagger, they were already at the throat of the empire's strategic layout of Barro in southern Europe. As long as the Holy City was captured, With just a little effort, all the benefits the empire has gained in southern Europe in the past two years can be wiped out, leaving the empire unable to launch a large-scale southward march for at least ten years.

The Martin Liya people had deliberate intentions, and the empire was not well prepared, so they could only sit back and watch the Holy City be breached, and then involve the Feize region and the northern part of the Ero Empire.

This is a war without any suspense. The Kingdom of Martinliga is fully mobilized, but the empire is belatedly aware of it. When Martinliga’s army attacks the country from the north, the empire’s military strength in the country of the Order is only meager. There are more than 60,000 people, while the number of Martin Liya people is 500,000, an absolute advantage of almost ten to one. , all countries believe that this war should end before winter comes, and the empire, which has always been arrogant and domineering, will suffer a heavy setback, but in fact, as the first white snowflakes of Barrow in southern Europe fall, the holy capital of the Order's country remains. It is still under the control of the empire and is as solid as a rock, making it impossible for the Martin Liya people to attack it.

Now that the Emperor of the Empire is personally visiting the Kingdom of the Order, countless forces that want to take advantage of this fluctuation in Barrow's hegemony in Southern Europe and grab a piece of the pie are also silent at this moment. The subsequent news that broke out from the west caused many forces to explode. The empire had announced during the west coast auction that any land acquired by any force in Martinliya would be recognized by the empire. Everyone originally just considered this The announcement was treated as a joke, although Martin Li Yajun was still there The Western Front suffered a disastrous defeat, but it still occupies two-thirds of the land in the Order State, and has already reached the Holy Capital. It is only a short distance away from capturing the Holy Capital. Barrow is still at its peak in southern Europe. Although the Empire is in the West The line has achieved a series of victories, but the overall situation is still at a disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to provoke Martin Liya, who has always been fierce and cruel, but someone actually attacked Martin Liya! This was something no one expected. The Eight Central Countries, which had always been regarded as mere losers, suddenly showed their fangs and launched an undeclared war against the Martinliya people. An army of more than 400,000 people pressed into the west of the Martinliya Kingdom. , in just a few days, more than thirty camps in the west of Martinliya Kingdom were captured. Under the crazy advance of 400,000 people from the eight central countries, the entire western part of Martinliya was trapped, and more than eight provinces were captured. Involved, even directly hit the hinterland of Martin Liya

The second wave of 100,000 troops that Martin Liya Kingdom finally gathered on the western front was ambushed by the empire again in Langxibia and the entire army was wiped out. There is no longer any heavy troop group in the west of Martin Liya. Even now The eight central countries, which are most looked down upon by the Barrow countries in southern Europe, can burn, kill, loot and plunder the land of Martinliya at will.

The chaotic situation was like a gunpowder magazine exploding, spreading huge flames across the land of South Europe.

Even the biting cold snowflakes did not extinguish it in the slightest. But in a short period of time, the eyes of many Barrow forces throughout southern Europe were shining, and their hearts were as eager as a cat scratching. Two years ago, they were not qualified to participate in the North-South War. Two years later, in the battle for southern hegemony, the Empire gave them the power to participate

Why can even the Eight Central Countries be able to steal territory, population, wealth and make a fortune from Martin? Why can't they themselves? Greed and jealousy are most likely to arise in the human heart. The combat power of the Martin Liya Cavalry is powerful, but now all the main force of the Martin Liya cavalry are trapped in the Order State. Even if they want to escape, the empire will not easily agree to this. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will lose it. The loss was huge, and the news of the Emperor's arrival in the Order State was a severe backlash against the restless ambitions of the various powers. With the Emperor, the God of the Continental Army, personally sitting in charge, the Martin Liya people still wanted to It is even more difficult to transfer the army back from the Order State.

The main force of the Martin Liya people has been trapped in the country of the Order. Let alone withdrawing, it is probably difficult to persist. The production capacity of the Martin Liya people, who have rich products and mainly a slave economy, is It's extremely bad. Since the invasion of the Order's country until now, the Order's country has been conquered by 7788 people. Martin Liya's The lords transported the plundered loot and slaves back to the country in large quantities. Hundreds of thousands of Martin Liya troops were held up in the Holy Capital for more than a month. There were 70,000 to 80,000 war horses alone, and the amount of horse food consumed every day was incalculable. , and some people eat horse chews. With the arrival of winter, the logistics line of hundreds of thousands of Martin troops will face the most cruel test.

Outside the holy capital of the Order, Getaiyam Mountain

The snow-capped top of the mountain and the towering independent peaks are like a flagpole erected under the entire huge plain terrain. As the tallest peak in the holy capital of the Order, the name of Getaiya comes from the temple. It means the top of the sky in the classic text. The headquarters of the Knights Templar of the Order State is located here.

The terrain of the entire Holy City is like a low-lying and concave shoal. The white snowflakes that have just fallen cover the entire city below. As a small city with a backing, the scope of Getaiyam City is not large. It is a sky-blue city. The colorful church is located in the center of the city. The large and small streets make this city, which is only six or seven miles long and wide, like layers of mountains leaning against each other. It is made up of piles of bodies, just like a natural defense. The stone wall on the outside of the city has a charred black color that has been burned by the war. Its location also determines that its military status far exceeds its normal purpose. It is just on the outside. On the choke point leading to the Holy Capital, it is only twenty miles away from the Holy Capital. Together with Greenbrand and Batoya, it is known as the Three Guards of the Holy Capital.

Every wall has countless arrow marks, which are traces of previous wars. The road was also completely blocked by obstacles. Under the bombardment of the catapults of Martin Li Ya's army, a huge wall of several hundred meters collapsed and fell across the street. The residential area lying beneath the city wall, It has been turned into ruins, and all residents of the Order State in the city have long been evacuated. Since the papal dispute in the Order State, the headquarters of the Knights Templar located here has also been moved to Warsaw further north, and all the people here have The houses were turned into fortified fortresses Cyprus, the Battle of the Popes, the imperial cavalry attacked and captured the Holy Capital in one fell swoop, resulting in the new Pope's tragic defeat and death. The whole situation was reversed. Although Pope Potamia had a good relationship with the Empire, she felt sad every time she thought about it. Yes, so I simply Getaiyamu City has become a real military fortress. If someone raids the Holy Capital, Getaiyamu City's troops can fight back to the Holy Capital in the shortest possible time. At worst, they can also cut off everything in the Holy Capital. news to buy time to deal with the situation

It’s just that Putamia didn’t expect that the Martin Liya people would advance northward in a large scale. The Getaiyamu City that she specially reinforced became a barrier to the Martin Liya army. Mountain, there is enough spring water flowing from the mountain It solves the drinking water problem of the whole city, and the special plants on the mountain can also be eaten as miscellaneous grains. Especially the three hillsides with an altitude of less than 100 meters extending from the main peak just form a "pin" shape, forming the most powerful support. point. These hillsides are covered with fortifications, and the black muzzle of the Imperial Thunder God can be seen at every support point. With the range and height of the Imperial Thunder God, it is enough to cover most of the city, giving enemies who are attacking the city A head-on attack, in order not to affect the view from high places, even all the trees and weeds outside the city were burned away, leaving only the charred soil, which was even more mottled under the white snow, "Varisien, when will you Have you also learned to play defense?

At this moment, a young man with black hair was standing silently at the top of the hillside, raising the lookout glass in his hand and looking to the southeast. The camp of the Martin Liya people was in that direction.

"My subordinates are completely following His Majesty's orders. Didn't His Majesty say that you are not allowed to attack without permission without receiving orders?

Behind him, the famous imperial general Varisien said respectfully, "Your Majesty, since Silver Fox was transferred, Martin's army has changed its previous step-by-step approach and has continuously sent cavalry to cut off the connections between various points of our army. In just one day, we lost eight strongholds and four hundred imperial soldiers died." This It’s not surprising that Silver Fox has been transferred away. Now the commander of Martin’s Liya Army is Spike. This man may seem rough but is actually very meticulous in his heart. He knows that it is almost impossible to attack the Holy City by force. The only way is to transfer you out. Come to fight in the wild, and you, Varisien, aren't you the famous imperial general who likes field fighting the most? "The black-haired young man put down the observation glass in his hand, turned around and smiled disdainfully," Do you dare to say that you have never thought about mobilizing the cavalry to fight fiercely with the Martin Liya people? ""My subordinates really wanted to mobilize the cavalry to fight, but found that the other party was obviously prepared. Under the unknown situation, I temporarily ordered the troops in the peripheral strongholds to be withdrawn to the three acropolis of the Holy Capital." Varisien looked stunned, deeply He took a breath and said

"In other words, you discovered the ambush of the other party, or did the other party deliberately let you discover the ambush?" The black-haired young man's eyes flashed and he murmured in a low voice.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Varisien's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized that the other party had cut off contact with the stronghold, not necessarily to lure him out, but also to deliberately arrange an ambush for him to discover.

"Spike, it seems that he is no longer the commander opposite. Although I don't know who it is, I can feel it." The black-haired young man's eyes fell on the far north, an endless stretch of land, and there was a person in the middle of this vast land. Point, that is the Holy Capital. Under the weak sunlight of the afternoon, standing alone on a high place silently watching the front line is the emperor who arrived in the Order Country.

The battlefield of the Order Kingdom is the main battlefield of this battle. This has never changed. Although the empire reversed the trend on the western front, it even encouraged the eight central countries to invade the western part of Martinliya and burn, kill and loot in the hinterland of Martinliya Kingdom. , beating each fiefdom to a river of blood, but the Martin Army still gritted its teeth and persisted on the battlefield of the Order State, because For Martin Liya, the people know very well that the main battlefield is the Order State. Everything the empire does on the western front is actually to force the army to return. If the Holy City can be captured, the empire will be driven out of Barrow, southern Europe. At that time, Martin Liya had enough time and energy to rectify the eight central countries, and even destroying the eight central countries was not a big deal.

But if the Martin Riya Army withdraws from the Order State, it will be truly doomed!

The most terrifying thing is not the sword, but the human heart. Sometimes the human heart is like this. Facing the powerful Martin Liya, all countries are in awe and no one dares to touch it. However, if Martin Liya is defeated miserably in the Order Country, and the eight central countries are raging , others will step on it without hesitation. This is the human heart, the general trend, and the cruelest law between countries.

At this moment, we can see the horror of this announcement issued by the empire. No matter how strong the Martinliya Kingdom is, it is impossible to face all the critical forces at the same time. The Martinliya people have always put their interests first and specialize in cheating their allies. Tradition has made the relationship between the Martinliya Kingdom and surrounding countries extremely poor, especially in winter, in order to resolve territorial disputes Due to the lack of food in the country, the lords of Martin Liya often regard other surrounding forces as warehouses for their own needs. But now if the surrounding countries find out that the Martin Liya army has suffered a disastrous defeat in the Order State, the first thing they will do is absolutely He declared war on the Kingdom of Martinliya, so he rudely took a bite of a piece of meat from this fat prey!

Therefore, even if Martin's army knew that the Western Front had been beaten to mud and that the hinterland was already filled with smoke, they could only grit their teeth and not take a step back. However, the situation seems to have changed now. If the emperor gave Mattingly The Yaman put on a huge condom, and at this moment, someone on the Yaman side of Martin Li Yaman was quietly untying the condom.
