Realm of Power

The cold rain on a winter night fell on the bare tree trunks in the Holy City, turning the newly thawed ground into mud. The Martin Liga Cavalry of the brigade was patrolling outside the camp. The private flags from the major lords were planted in the sky above the camp. After being soaked by the rain, they clung tightly to the flagpole, making it even more cold. Most of the Martin Liga Cavalry They were all silent and numb, and some looked back unwillingly. Everyone They were all muttering about the horrible weather. They turned a blind eye to some corpses half-hidden in the mud on the road. Their horses' hooves cracked the frozen ice, and there was a gurgling sound in front of them. The tidal flats are covered with such thin ice that the horse’s legs will slip when stepping on it.

"Woo woo" a rousing trumpet sound sounded, and dozens of smaller cavalry teams slightly spaced apart began to gather towards the camp, like open flowers. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud began to gather, and a man with a similar appearance Pretty woman standing on high ground in camp , looking at the changing patrol cavalry in front, his slender eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly. It was already the cold winter, but these Martin Liya cavalry were still wearing thin coats and armor, and they were soaked in the cold rain. I don't know how much. People will not be able to get up at once.

The winter did not put the imperial army in trouble, but instead made the Martin Riya army bear the price.

The strategic purpose of the emperor's deliberate delay was indeed to drag this decisive battle into winter.

A middle-aged General Martin Liya, who looked kind and generous, came up from behind and said in a condensing voice to the pretty figure standing in front of him with a struggling expression, "Your Highness, if you want the army to give up the north and withdraw to the south, please don't say it at the meeting, because this is not right. It's possible. Everyone worked hard to get here. It's only a foot away from the Holy Capital. Even His Highness can't make them withdraw. On the contrary, they talk too much and affect His Highness's prestige.

"Si Green, do you know why I'm here?"

The pretty figure turned around. It was a woman with a heroic appearance. She was wearing a red armor that clung to her graceful figure. Under her slender eyebrows was a pair of eyes full of wisdom. She was Martin Li Ya San. The young master of the Sam tribe, one of the major tribes, Sam Tamara, as Martin Ligao There are few people in the hierarchy who have opened their eyes to the mainland, and they have personally infiltrated the empire and conducted detailed research on the empire's politics, commerce, and military affairs. When they learned that the Western Front army had suffered another disastrous defeat, the emperor also arrived in the northern part of the Order State at the same time. , you know that the empire is ready for a full-scale counterattack

"I heard that the Emperor of the Empire has arrived in the Order Country..."

The middle-aged General Martin Liya hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice that although the news of the Emperor's arrival in the Order Country had spread throughout the continent, it was still blocked by the Martin Liya Army. The Emperor's intimidating power was really It is too powerful. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably cause shock to the entire army. It is only a line away from the Holy Capital. How can the top leaders of Martin Liya shake the morale of the army?

"Not just this, there is also news that I think you may not know yet." The woman took a deep breath and said with flashing eyes, "I got the news three days ago that the Western Front collapsed again."

"Falled again?" The middle-aged general looked stunned, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Your Highness is talking about Spinlian's army..."

"Yes, Spinrian's army was ambushed by the empire and the eight central coalition forces in Wolfsbia. Not only was the entire army wiped out, but also the 20,000 people from the Marquis of Birmingham's army that I suggested were also killed in Wolfsbia. Xibia is over, now the eight central countries are forty Ten thousand troops have invaded the western front of the kingdom." The woman's voice paused, and she said with a wry smile, "You should imagine that the reason why this important news did not come is because someone intercepted the news, but how long can it be suppressed after such a disastrous defeat? Woolen cloth?"

"It's His Highness Spike! He is planning to launch a final attack. If there is anyone who least wants this news to come, then it must be His Highness Spike." A look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged general's face, and he took a deep breath. "It's the Empire." The emperor’s arrangement?”

"Who else can make the eight central kingdoms fall apart, except the Emperor of the Empire?" The woman's eyes wandered, and she said coldly, "This is why I came here suddenly. The Emperor of the Empire has always had no choice but to take action, so he must take action." In terms of killing, you can tell by looking at the brutal North-South War two years ago. After letting the military god emperor prepare everything, how likely are you to capture the Holy Capital? "

"This..." The middle-aged general's expression changed. The Civil War two years ago was a taboo that could not be easily touched for the entire southern European Barrow soldiers.

During the Great War between the North and the South, among the powerful southern powers, Feize and the Ero Empire were still there, with large armies and famous generals gathered. The Order State also sent a strong main force of the Knights. The Kingdom of Harvey and the Kingdom of Ikar were also at their peak. During this period, the Kingdom of Aden also went to war with all its strength, and the Southern Allied Forces also had the upper hand. When the imperial army fought fiercely with the Feishan people, , they occupied the southern part of the Istan Empire in one fell swoop, and then expanded northward with the support of the south. They even forced the Istan royal family to compromise, and were waiting for the final division of the results. Everyone thought that the empire was unable to recover, but it happened that It is so unimaginable that the emperor took action and only used 300,000 imperial troops to fight against 700,000 southern coalition troops.

There was a disparity of strength of two to one. The situation was that the Imperial Army had just defeated Feishan and had not yet had time to prepare, and the Southern Allied Army had already secured two-thirds of the Istan Plain and was recharging its strength.

The situation at that time was almost like a replica of what was happening inside the Order. The result was that the Emperor single-handedly overturned the entire Southern Allied Forces. He used extremely sharp cavalry to sweep through, and he was stunned with 300,000 Imperial troops. The 700,000-strong coalition army was unable to stand and lost consecutive battles. The base camp retreated again and again, without even the possibility of counterattack.

The last 700,000 coalition forces were like a chain being pulled to the end. They were killed by the empire from north to south in one go. Not only did they lose the occupied southern part of Istan, but the 700,000 coalition forces were almost completely wiped out. In that battle, the empire The emperor slapped the entire southern general group so hard that for more than a year, the entire southern region could only succumb to the power of the empire.

In that battle, the emperor's cavalry surprise attack tactics were like the hand of a god, which inspires generals across the continent to this day.

If we say who is the master of cavalry combat in the entire continent, it is undoubtedly the Emperor of the Empire. But now Spike actually thinks that as long as he pulls the Imperial Army out of the Holy Capital, he can defeat the Imperial Army instantly with the advantage of cavalry in the field. If It doesn’t matter if there is no emperor, but now that the emperor has arrived on the west coast, it is no different from seeking death!

"Your Highness Sam, His Highness Spike sent someone to invite Your Highness to attend today's military meeting." A female attendant came over with a respectful expression.

"Tell the person who is coming that I will be there right away." Samtamara raised her hand and asked the attendant to leave first.

'" Your Highness, please think twice before withdrawing your troops. "The middle-aged general hesitated to speak. He is the commander-in-chief of the Sam tribe in the coalition. He fought all the way north from the Kingdom of Harvey and knows the thoughts of the generals. Withdrawing troops means giving up, means failure, and means humiliation. The staunch Martin Riya soldiers will not accept defeat, not to mention that the general Martin Riya who is now gathered on the northern battlefield of the Order State accounts for all the total number of Martin Riya generals. How could two-thirds, such a huge group, endure such humiliation?

"I know it well, General Si Green, don't worry." Sam Tamara smiled slightly on her pretty face and walked towards the big tent in the center of the camp where the meeting was held.

In the big tent in the middle of the camp, more than twenty generals from the three tribes of Martin Liya were also talking in low voices. Among them, the generals of the Ir tribe all looked excited, and their words were more about discussing the battle situation. Anxi The generals of the Li family had solemn expressions, while the generals of Sam had strange expressions. They already knew that their little Your Highness is here, and he wants to give the whole tribe a headache. Although he has a reputation for wisdom, he is also a model of deviance. The generals of the Sam tribe feel a headache. The good little prince of the Sam tribe actually learns how to do business. , and even went to Barro in northern Europe for a while, which made the generals of Assam feel ashamed.

After all, the leader of Martin Liya should be a brave and fierce general! However, the other two tribes both have several highnesses, but Chief Sam only has one daughter, but he cannot give birth to a son. After all, women cannot be directed in wars! The Sam tribe has been on a downward trend in the past ten years, and there is even a slight possibility of being overtaken by the Anxili family. The biggest reason is that the young royal highness of the Sam tribe is a woman, and is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of cohesion.

At the meeting, Spike pointed at the map spread on the long table and said in a solemn voice, "After half a month of fierce fighting, our army has successively captured seven acropolis outside the Holy Capital. The closest distance to the Holy Capital is only Less than fifty miles away, the imperial army has completely stopped leaving the city, and attacking cities is not what I, Martin Liya, are good at, so our strategy is to pull the imperial army out of the city and use our field advantage, Martin Liya, to annihilate them. "

"Pull the Imperial Army out of the city?" The generals looked at each other. The Imperial Army's defense during this period made them suffer a lot, especially when the Imperial Army put a heavy weapon like Thor on the top of the city. Not to mention shocking, it also had a great impact on the horses of Martin Liya Cavalry. Many horses heard the thunder The moment the God exploded, he immediately collapsed to the ground. Most of the Martin Liya war horses were domesticated wild horses. They had never encountered the Imperial Thor. Many Martin Liya cavalry were killed by their own war horses when they launched a charge. Throw it out. Even if these cavalry try their best to calm their horses, the effect will not be great.

"I object. It is very unwise to draw the imperial army out to fight in the field. The combat power of the imperial cavalry is no worse than that of our Martin Liga cavalry, and the imperial infantry formation is known to be invincible. I really don't see where you are coming from. The confidence to win a field battle with the Imperial Army." Sam Tamara stood up alone and said with a cold face.

"Her Highness Tamara has just arrived at the main camp of our army, and she denies the strategic plan of the entire army. Isn't it too arrogant?"

The commander-in-chief of the army, Spike, looked cold, with a somewhat impolite sneer at the corner of his mouth, "It is said that His Highness Sam is one of the wisest people in Martin Riya, but when it comes to combat, His Highness is too layman, and the Imperial Army has It’s not that I haven’t encountered it before. We all know the combat power of the Imperial Army. If we say that in the same number, our Martin Liga Cavalry may not be as good as the Imperial Cavalry, but at twice the With the strength of our troops, I really can't see the possibility of our defeat! Moreover, our Martin Liya Cavalry is brave and fearless. The previous progress was slow entirely because Silver Fox was timid and did not dare to fight head-on with the imperial army, and Stam was defeated miserably. It proves that His Highness Silver Fox’s plan will not work at all. The Holy Capital is only fifty miles away from our army. As long as we take one step forward, I, Martin Liya, can take the Holy Capital! "

A stout general Martin Liya said very rudely, "Everyone in Martin Liya knows that the young master of the Sam tribe is good at internal affairs and is a complete novice in war command. He has just arrived at the base camp and has given instructions on the entire strategy. This is simply a slap in the face of us generals, Martin Liya.

It’s not like the Imperial Cavalry has never been fought before, there’s nothing they can’t fight!

"Your Highness is too reckless!" The generals of the Sam tribe all turned red with shame.

"How did that guy Si Green teach His Highness? He simply disgraced the face of our Sam clan."

Spike had a smile on his face and didn't speak. He seemed rough and arrogant, but he was actually quite scheming. He finally pushed Silver Fox out of the position of commander in chief. Naturally, he would not let this woman shake his position easily. , since Silver Fox was transferred back to the country, the command of the army has fallen into the hands of Spike, the crown prince of the Il tribe. , the generals centered on the Il tribe have taken command of the coalition forces, and Spike is also planning to launch a major offensive to completely resolve this war. The news of the Silver Fox's defeat in Stam has made many members of the Ansili family The lords were shameless and eager to prove that they were not weak through a battle.

This is related to the big issue of whether their Martin Liya noble title can continue to be passed on to their heirs. Spike believes that these Sam generals will make a decision. Tamara, a woman who looks quite smart, is actually spoiled. Very good, and his image has always been that of a reckless man who lacks thinking, but for For the brave and fierce Martin Liya people, Spike is the most recognized commander in their hearts. Although Silver Fox has unparalleled strategy, it is difficult to get the approval of the Martin Liya generals. The Martin Liya people even more recognize the leader. The army charges forward, overcoming obstacles and being an invincible warrior. Spike is not only not stupid, but also quite smart.
