Realm of Power

The land shone by the setting sun is dark. In the Holy City, under the towering dark blue city walls, there are large towns that serve as residential areas. Far and near, there are black beacon smoke rising into the sky. The flames dotted up and down the houses are still there. Burning, at this moment in the Holy City, a man wearing Templar armor with a serious face The elderly Templar knight is looking at the movement of Martin's fangs below. He is about sixty years old. He is wearing the heavy armor of the temple. Under his gray hair, his eyes are still piercing, which makes people feel oppressed. The feeling of sex, behind him, the faces of several generals of the Knights Templar became more and more solemn.

He is Husa, the leader of the Templar Knights whom Pope Potamia trusts most, and is also the commander-in-chief of the entire Holy City army. As the head of the three former knights of the Templar Knights, Potamia first ascended the throne. The staunchest supporter of the throne of the Pope, during the more than half a year when Potamia led the army to conquer the Aero Empire, It was even more important to accept the great trust, to overpower the forces of all parties in the Holy City, and to continuously transport the resources of the Order State to the army in front of Putamia. Only then was Putamia able to invade the hinterland of the Ero Empire like a broken bamboo. , reversing in one fell swoop the situation in which the Order State had been passive and disadvantaged under the suppression of the Eero Empire for decades.

Hussa has always been regarded as the leader of the Knights Templar. Even when the new Pope came to power, he only ordered the exile of this former leader of the three knights, instead of the other Templar officers of the Potamia faction. Arrested, detained, and even executed at will, the first thing Putamia did when she returned to the Holy City was to recall the leader of the Knights Templar. Only then did she stabilize the fluctuations caused by the demise of the new pope. Live all over the Knights Templar swing The uncertain attitude achieved the defection of the Knights Templar in the shortest time, minimizing the impact of the papal rebellion. However, after Putamia stabilized the situation, the rift between the two began to grow. "Last night, I ordered all the legions outside the Holy City to immediately withdraw to the Holy City. Why did the 7th and 11th regiments delay for so long?" The old Templar looked away from the tragedy below the city and turned around. He asked an officer behind him coldly,

Only 30,000 of the 50,000 Order State troops who were ordered to retreat from their stronghold returned. The remaining more than 20,000 Knights Templar troops were covered in corpses by the Martin Liga people. Although each regiment suffered losses, However, the 7th and 11th regiments were completely wiped out. More than 20,000 regular troops were killed in the battle. This is especially true for the Holy City, which is currently in urgent need of troops. To make matters worse, the three hours gained by the 15,000-strong Second Army of the Templar Knights in Karajan to block the Martin Liga people, logically speaking, was definitely enough for other troops outside the Holy City to withdraw into the city. The reality is that only 30,000 of the 50,000 people returned to the Holy Capital, and the remaining 20,000 died outside the gates of the Holy Capital.

In the area below the city, dark red blood and corpses intertwined into a tragic picture. The broken military flag of the Knights Templar was trampled in the mud, and the white Holy Cross was completely infected with human blood. More than 20,000 Templar Knights regiment soldiers died in the battle, and about fifty to sixty thousand surrounding civilians were also involved in the massacre. The dead and the undead were mixed together, and the painful moans continued. However, most of the moans had become weak. Countless corpses and dying people were lying on the field. Farther away, although they were not dead, they were still alive. The almost desperate civilian prisoners of the Order and the tents of the Martin Riya Army that are almost endless.

Last night was like hell. Martin Liya's cavalry slaughtered and burned under the city, turning residential areas into seas of fire. When seeing the countless tragic scenes on and off the city walls, people's emotions were no longer pity. The numbness and trembling of the body resonated with the whole world, and the buzzing sound filled the surrounding air. Every inch of the world, the consciousness of death and the fear lurking behind it, and the lingering fear in the heart, all mixed together. "The commander of the 7th regiment, Sarasu, was not at the camp last night, but went to his home. The adjutant commander of the 7th regiment delayed for two hours before ordering the troops to leave."

"The Eleventh Regiment was stationed too far away, and the Eleventh Regiment retreated with more than 20,000 civilians at the time. As a result, some civilians were discovered by the forward cavalry of the Martin Liya people. In the end, the Eleventh Regiment even Let's get stuck together too..." The temple officer who reported back the investigation couldn't help but have a look of unbearability on his face.

"My order is that in accordance with wartime laws, the families of these two people will be detained immediately, waiting for His Highness the Pope's decision." Hu Sa seemed to have not seen it, and said in a cold voice. "The Grand Knight Commander, the 7th Regiment and the 10th Regiment Although the commander of the first regiment made mistakes, it did not disgrace the honor of the Templars. Although the seventh regiment delayed two At 11:00, after being overtaken by the Martin Liya people, the entire army fought to the death on the spot, with no one surrendering. The commander of the 11th regiment, Subia Ling, was captured after a fierce battle and was skinned by the Martin Liya people and hung on the flag pole, but he still shouted loudly. He scolded Martin Liya until he was hoarse and his blood was drained to death. If your Excellency pursues his family members, I'm afraid everyone will be chilled."

The look in Hu Sa's old wrinkled eyes was extremely complicated. He walked aside, picked up the bow and arrow leaning on the weapon rack, and went to the city wall. Looking at the groans below, he aimed for a moment and fired an arrow. Among the piles of corpses below, a civilian from the Order Nation whose hands and feet were broken but was still alive was struck by an arrow in his heart and finally died.

"Of course I know that they did not dishonor the honor of the Templars, but the death of more than 20,000 soldiers is an inescapable responsibility, as well as the more than 70,000 civilians who were implicated because of them last night." Hu Sa took a deep breath, He said solemnly, "Just because of the two of them, at least 50,000 to 60,000 lives were lost last night. These people did not have to die in the first place. The 15,000 people of the Second Army fought to stop the main force of Martin's army." Three hours later, just because the two of them had lost all their previous efforts and they were not dealt with, who was going to give an explanation to the Second Army who died in the battle, and to the 670,000 to 70,000 civilians who died outside the Holy Capital last night? "Hu Sa was holding a bow and arrow in his hand. He stood there staring blankly at the pile of corpses below, closed his eyes, and waved his hand: "Give me an order to ask the archer to choose the people below who are seriously injured and can no longer be saved. If they are too painful, just send them away." …”

The generals looked ugly and were silent. Someone punched the solid city wall in annoyance. His eyes were angry, and he didn't dare to touch the bloody hand. It was really the Martin Liya people who came too quickly, and the soldiers were defeated overnight. They broke into fifty miles and spread the flames to the Holy Capital in one breath. The Holy Capital garrison had no time to react and just ran towards the Holy Capital in a mess.

It can be said that a large number of civilians outside the Holy City were directly thrown to the Martin Liya people. I don’t know how many people are tangled in their hearts. They are soldiers, and they are not afraid of death, but why should they run, such as the 11th There must be a problem with the regiment coercing civilians to walk together like this. Civilians cannot walk fast, and they are easily scattered, which greatly slows down the speed. Once they are overtaken, they will be dead, but what can they do? Not to mention that among the civilians, there are many family members of officers and soldiers, including their parents and children. Who can do this to just throw them to the brutal and murderous Martin Liya people? There are more than 50,000 temple troops, After all, the generals brought back more than 30,000 people, but it was already good that more than 20,000 people were involved!

"Lord Husa"

Hu Sa, who was walking down the city wall, saw several imperial soldiers in black armor not far away, guarding a middle-aged nobleman in black uniform walking towards him. The house is being demolished, soldiers and civilians are busy in the field of vision, running back and forth, and further away, there are rows of rows in the Holy Capital City. Kushibi's houses stretched out, and it was about to be a life and death battle. The Martin Liya people had spent so much effort to get close to the Holy City, how could they give up so easily? The lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people were all decided in one fell swoop. The cold wind that comes is still full of the smell of blood and war smoke. What awaits this city is the same unknown fate.

This middle-aged man is called Si Duhan, and he is the representative of the empire in the Holy City. Although the imperial army has withdrawn from the Holy City, the empire has sent a special envoy to the Order State. Although it is not known that this imperial envoy named Si Duhan has What background, but from its ability to get the imperial military to agree to withdraw from the Holy City, we can know that in the imperial The country must be an extraordinary figure. Although Hu Sa does not know the internal structure of the empire, he also knows that the military is definitely the first in the power structure of the empire. And the one-eyed dragon who was able to make one of the five important ministers of the empire's military was able to Salon also sells this special envoy a bit of face, so one can imagine his status. "Martin's sharp fang army is about to attack the city. I have greeted the city guards and asked them to let you leave the Holy City." Hu Sa's face softened rarely, and he said in a serious voice. He has ordered the four gates to be under martial law. Anyone who wants to leave the Holy City Everyone must have his approval. He believed that this imperial envoy must have come here to leave the Holy City. He was neatly dressed and meticulous, but he could be seen no matter the dust on his robes or the look on his face. Tired from the past few days

The imperial military was able to avoid conflict with the Temple Army headed by Hussa, and this was all because of this man!

Husa is a veteran Templar. As the old-school leader of the Templar faction, although Husa is dissatisfied with the Templar Presbyterian Council, it does not mean that he will support Putami as the queen, especially for Putami. Ya fully committed to the northern empire's camp. Hu Sa always expressed strong opposition. The imperial army Being forced out of the Holy Capital was a joint effort by Hu Sa and other Templar officers. Hu Sa did not expect that the Martin Liya people would be so bold and directly raid the Holy Capital, and that he would suffer the consequences so quickly. , if the imperial army had not withdrawn from the Holy Capital, it would never be in such a mess as it is now.

"This is the letter I just received from His Highness the Pope. Please read it." Si Duhan waved his hand to the imperial guards behind him, but they stopped, and then took out a letter from the distance. Hu Sa stopped half a meter away and handed the letter over.

"Why did His Highness the Pope's letter come through the channels of the Empire? Did you do something to His Highness the Pope!" Hu Sa's voice couldn't help but suddenly dropped, murderous intent filled the air, Pope Putamia and the Empire The emperor went to inspect the northern port. Hu Sa had always believed that the empire was ambitious and wanted to annex the religious order country. The emperor was even more interested in mainland China. A famous womanizer, although Potamia is the Pope, she has been treated like a daughter since she was a child. She is also a first-rate beauty. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy was poured into her by this rogue emperor. She has been in love since the war of Eero. He kept close to him, and Husa tried to persuade him many times, but all in vain. Instead, several quarrels broke out between him and Putamia.

"Because the Empire's channels are fast enough, Her Highness Pudamiya's letter can arrive on the same day. If it goes through the Church State, it will probably take one and a half to two days. In this situation, even one hour is enough to determine the life and death of many people!" Si Duhan seemed to have no sense of the murderous intent in Husa's tone, and smiled. "In fact, Knight Commander Husa doesn't need to be so nervous. If the Empire really wants to annex the Church State, the Church State would have disappeared during the chaos of the new and old popes. On the contrary, now everyone is in the same boat. In order to express sincerity, even the Empire's troops were withdrawn from the Holy City. Lord Husa, do you think it is not enough?

"Okay, I'll believe you once." Husa nodded seriously, took the letter from Si Duhan, opened it with both hands, and his eyes swept over it. His face suddenly changed,
