Realm of Power

The sky that has stopped raining has a clear gray color. Between the thick clouds, the winter sunshine that has not shown its face for seven or eight days shines down from above the clouds.

The floods surged after the rain fell, pouring from the northern estuary into the south-facing fork of the river. The scattered ice floes also rushed here along the river. In front of a destroyed river with only two bridge piers left, stood a figure. The burly Knight Templar Commander, his red cloak was muddy, and his face was even pale. Looking at the river blocking the way forward, "It's over, the bridge is broken, we can't cross!" "Without the bridge, we can't cross the river four times, and those Martin Liya cavalry behind will kill us all!" "Don't run away. , I can’t run anymore, if I oppose you, I will die, I will fight even if I die!”

Behind him, there were about a thousand Templar soldiers, all of them injured, their armor soaked in water, slippery and thick. They were stumbling in the mud. When they saw that the bridge in front of them that they had given hope to was gone, there were many people there. Kneeling on the ground, they really couldn't hold on any longer. They had already walked all the way After running non-stop for more than 20 hours, these Temple troops were responsible for the troops of the Eighth Banner of the Temple at the east gate of the Holy City. The Templar Cavalry Banner originally had a flag force of 5,000 people. The flag captain It was Cubelido, one of the Grand Knight Commanders. This Grand Knight Commander returned after receiving the order to withdraw to the Holy Capital. In less than an hour, while the flag team was still sorting out, the Martin Tooth Cavalry came like a frenzy. Countless Martin Tooth Cavalry dismounted directly to attack the city. They were caught off guard and the Temple Army had already withdrawn many of its defenses. The Eight Banners were directly defeated, and the great knight captain Kubeli fought on the spot. They died, and their heads were hung on the military flag of Martin Liya. In just less than an hour, five thousand Holy Capital troops were on guard. It can be said that the heavily garrisoned east gate changed hands, and the defeated army was defeated by Martin Liya. The Ya people covered them all the way. Five thousand people came here, and only about a thousand were left.

If it weren't for the fact that the Martin Liya people were unwilling to suffer too many casualties after seizing the eastern portal, I am afraid that none of these thousand people would have been able to get here.

In the distance, a dark line also stopped. It was hundreds of Martin Liya cavalry. A young Martin Liya noble looked at the remnants of the Temple Army stopping at the edge of the river with cold eyes, and could not help but reveal a trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. , these temple troops actually want to use the river to block their pursuit, it’s ridiculous , do they really think that two legs can outrun four legs? They have already allowed a light cavalry to destroy the wooden bridge on the river in front of this defeated army. They just want to give these Temple troops residual hope. He trampled this hope under the horse's hooves. How could he scare the people of these sects to the core?

The commander of the Martin Liya Cavalry is called Feng Duohe. He is the squadron leader of the fifth cavalry squadron of the Eleventh Legion of the Martin Liya Army. The Eleventh Army of Martin Liya captured the eastern gateway and did not let go of the Temple Army. The defeated army sent out a group of about 400 elite Martin Liya cavalry, but they hung behind like hungry wolves. With the help of the mobility of the war horses, they continued to consume the physical strength of these temple troops. As long as any of these defeated troops stopped, they would immediately launch an attack. Horses would kick and slash with swords, forcing these defeated Temple troops not to dare to stop and rest. Some wanted to disperse halfway, but it wouldn't take long. He would be dragged behind the horse by Martin Liya's cavalry, and thrown back miserably like tattered linen, until he finally became silent, making everyone feel hairy inside.

These Martin Liya people are basically playing a cat and mouse game. Sooner or later we will all be killed! "The faces of the Templar soldiers were full of sadness. Everyone could see it. Martin's cavalry was just playing tricks on them, forcing them to struggle in this muddy pond, draining their physical strength, courage, and their final victory. The destination will only be death

"Don't stop. After crossing the river four times, we won't be afraid of them anymore!"

"Yes, no matter how powerful Martin's cavalry is, they can't cross the four rivers without a bridge." Someone cheered, giving hope to many desperate defeated troops. There were four rushing rivers in front of them. As long as they crossed the river, Martin The Liya Cavalry could only stare, but they didn't think about it By the time the Martin Liya people had already removed the bridges on the river, without the bridges, it would be impossible for everyone to cross the river. If they couldn't cross the river, an exhausted remnant army would be in trouble when faced with the well-equipped Martin Liya cavalry. Everyone knows what the consequences will be. What else can it be but massacre! Everyone's face was ashen, and their bodies, which had been unable to hold on, were sitting heavily in the mud and water. It felt like they had hope, but were ruthlessly broken. It would be better to have no hope at all! "I don't want to die. My son is still waiting for me at home. I want to go back!" someone murmured in a low voice.

"Damn it, risk it all, you will die anyway. It is better to drown and freeze to death than to be hacked to death!" A Temple Army soldier tore off his broken armor and stood on the edge of the rapid river, gritting his teeth. With a shout, they jumped into the cold river ahead, splashing water, and others gathered around them. This was their last hope.

"Stazi, come on"

This Temple Army soldier was very good at swimming. He struggled to swim in the cold river, and swam to the middle of the river under the gaze of everyone. Suddenly, an ice floe crashed down from the river and hit hard, causing the ice floating on it to sink. After a few moments, they were swept away by the torrent and disappeared. Seeing this scene, all the Temple Army soldiers held their breath. The one with the best water ability among them, but even he couldn't get through, and it was even more impossible for the others. If it was summer, they might still be able to swim by water, but now it is winter, and a large number of ice floes have poured in from the northern estuary. It is full of rivers and also rises and falls on the river. If you jump in, it is basically impossible to survive in the cold and biting river water.

"What do these wastes of the Order Nation want to do? Do they really think that a river can save them? It's so ridiculous!"

In the distance, the Martin Liya men riding on their war horses burst into laughter, and some had their eyes shining. Most of the Martin Liya cavalry's horse bridles had a string of blood-colored things hanging on them, all of which were human ears. Each one is the right ear of a Temple soldier who was killed and cut off. There are as many as a dozen, as few as four or five. They are enjoying the feeling of despair that the people of the Order have. This feeling for them, Already an addiction

Entering the Order Country along the way, there are no one knows how many people from the Order Country have been killed in this way. Although it is pleasant to kill them with a knife, it is meaningless to cut too many people. Moreover, the knife has curled the edge, and it needs to be sent to the Sam tribe. Go over there and repair it. The blacksmiths of the Sam clan are all toothless. The price of private repairs is The price is three to four times that of ordinary repairs. It is really expensive. The repair cost of a good knife is enough to buy two or three delicate female slaves. You can’t spend this much money, so it is best to cut without a knife. Okay, driving a large group of people to jump into the river for fun is one of the most worry-free and labor-saving ways.

What happens when people are desperate? It will be crazy! As long as someone takes the lead in jumping, more people will jump. At that moment, there is no reason as much as the desire to survive. At most, they drove more than 50,000 civilians from the Order Nation to jump into the river. It was a river that was 100 meters long. The wide river, even in the Martinliya Prairie, I have never seen such a large river. Seeing the round heads on the river, seeing countless people being swept up by the waves, and the rising and falling corpses even blocking the river, what a spectacular sight it is, just like Martin A scene similar to the large-scale migration of bison herds on the Liya Prairie

The pleasure of the strong controlling the life and death of the weak is such an addictive pleasure!

"Okay, let's work harder and drive all these wild slaves from the Order Country into the river!"

Captain Martin Liya, who led the team, licked his chapped lips ferociously, and raised his hand to the four hundred Martin Liya cavalry behind him. Wild slaves are the Martin Liya people's term for slaves in the Order. They are wild slaves, just like the wild grass and wild flowers on the roadside. Anyone can step on them a few times, and anyone can pick them and throw them away at will. These are the lowest among slaves.

This is mainly because the gap between the Martinliya people and the Order Kingdom has lasted for more than a day or two. The people of the Order Country believe in temples, ****, and often regard themselves as the people of God, while the Martinliya Kingdom has never believed in gods. , but claimed to be the Son of the Prairie, so the Order State has always called Martin Liya a heretic, and even organized two opposition The most intense alliance between the Kingdom of Martin and the Kingdom of Martin was nineteen years ago. Due to the border conflict between the Kingdom of the Order and the Kingdom of Martin, the two sides encountered the main forces in the Staler area of ​​the Kingdom of Harvey. The Kingdom of Wei's backer, the Kingdom of the Order, which has gradually recovered its vitality, dispatched the Knights Templar based on the Holy City Guards.

Although there were only three thousand, the heavy armored cavalry's piercing attack at the critical moment still caused the light cavalry of the Martin Liya people to fall off their backs. The flag of the Chinese army's main formation was washed down by the heavy armored cavalry, and the army commander Sa After Mdele fell from his horse, his guards fought desperately to rescue him, and the army command fell into chaos. In the chaos, Harvey's army advanced in infantry groups. Although Martin's cavalry had mobility, they fought independently. Moreover, the battlefield terrain selected by the Harvey Kingdom was also an undulating area that was extremely unfavorable to the cavalry. They had always been arrogant and domineering. The Martin Liya people suffered the biggest defeat in fifty years.

More than 70,000 people were killed or captured in the battle. Two great lords of the Sam clan died in the battle. A lord of the Ansili family and a great lord of the Ir clan were captured. In the end, two border provinces had to be ceded. The Kingdom of Harvey was given as a truce condition. In that battle, the Knights Templar of the Order State rose to fame, and the Order State moved from a second-rate kingdom to a first-tier power! It can be said that the Order State stepped on the bones of the Martin Liya people to embark on the road to becoming a powerful nation. Now that they have the opportunity to retaliate against the Order State, the Martin Liya people will naturally be merciless, especially towards the temple that once caused them a disastrous defeat. Knights of the Knights were killed and skinned in countless places along the way.

If this were not the case, the Knights Templar in the Holy City would not hate Martin Liya so much. Even if they die, they will bite off a piece of Martin Liya's flesh! If the Martin Liya people really conquer the Holy Capital, the civilians may be able to continue to live as slaves, but they, the Knights Templar, will definitely die no more, and they will not die well!

"Go forward and drive them into the river!"

The captain of the Martin Liya Cavalry squadron screamed, and the raised hand fell violently. The four hundred cavalry put down their spears and swooped towards the river like a flock of eagles leaping down from a high place. Their horses' hooves were heavy. The ground shook, the mud was thrown away mercilessly, the spears were cold, and the horses were like a tide. The Martin Liga Lancers were called intestinal piercers in Barro in southern Europe. In addition to talking about horses, In addition to the ferocity of the Dingliya Cavalry, it also shows the speed of the attack of the Martin Liya Light Cavalry. The horses of the Martin Liya Light Cavalry are all domesticated wild horses from the Martin Liya Prairie, and many of them are still preserved. The wildness and vigor of the wild horse even surpass the various excellent horse breeds of the Nordic Barro in terms of explosive power. It is the most explosive horse breed in the entire Barro continent.

The exhausted remnants of the Temple Army still have the strength to fight Martin's light cavalry! I saw the Martin Liga cavalry crashing into the backs of the Templars like arrows, and the sharp cavalry spears penetrated the human body without any hindrance. The momentum of the war horse's forward movement was shaken, and blood burst out from the front end, "Martin Sharptooth is coming!"

"Oh my god, run!" Some of the scattered Templar soldiers near the river struggled to hold on to their weapons, especially around the Templar Commander. There were about two hundred regular soldiers of the Templar Knights surrounding him. She made a circle, and a spear was silently placed on the shield. The lower end of the shield was deeply inserted into the soil under her feet. Although Putamia expanded the original Knights Templar to Two hundred thousand people, among whom the real Knights Templar are There are only 30,000 to 40,000 regular troops, and the other hundreds of thousands are temporarily absorbed refugees who were incorporated into the knights after a short training. If the order country did not have the knights before the civil war, Spike would not dare to formulate Coming up with such a daring battle plan, seeing the regular army gathering, more soldiers looked at the Martin Liya Cavalry with numb expressions as they crashed in like a hurricane. They waited until the opponent rushed in fifty meters before they reacted and were frightened. Turn around and run away!

"Pfft!" There was a sound of flesh being pierced by a spear. The running man found that his feet had left the ground and was violently knocked away by the Martin Sharptooth cavalry behind him. The soldier's flesh and blood was left in the mud and was knocked over by the horse. On the ground, before he could stand up, he was trampled by more war horses. At this time, courage, Life, death, and glory are completely out of control here, and the frightened people can't even tell the direction. The severed limbs and broken arms of their companions mixed with mud and water are thrown on their faces. The smell of blood in their noses goes straight to their minds. The cold light of the cavalry The stabbing spear quickly expanded in the pupils, and the body was provoked in front of the masses of cavalry and horses.

"Ah, save me!"

"I don't want to die!" Some of the people who were not dead struggled and screamed on the pierced spears, but it was all in vain. The dying people in the watery quagmire were still crying and struggling, and they were trampled down randomly. The horse's hooves were trampled into pulp,

"Everyone, hold still!" the Templar Lord shouted, swallowing nervously. At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed at the top of the river and shouted! Look, what is that! Right now. The sound made everyone turn their heads and look over, only to see a corner upstream of the rolling river. There are a large number of small black dots flowing down the river. Because they are too far away, they cannot be seen clearly, but these small black dots are expanding very quickly, and the number is even more amazing.

"That seems to be... a ship?" a soldier stammered. Even he felt ridiculous when he said it.
