Realm of Power

North of Harvey Kingdom, White Castle Royales

It is named because the entire city is built with white stone. It was once the acropolis of the former capital of King Harvey. It has a white fortress standing high on the mountainside, dense stone windows, and fortresses extending along the mountain. The city walls, the nine-square archery holes on all sides of the bunker, and more than 95% of the buildings are directly stacked with the strongest granite, which can withstand the bombing of dozens of tons of trebuchets.

In the previous wars, the White Castle has been scarred, but it has always stood firm, and the mottled walls also revealed a dim blood-red color. It often exudes a faint smell of blood under the fierce sunlight, which comes from the blood accumulated deep in the city wall in ancient history. It will also be repaired as quickly as possible after the war is over, because no matter which side captures the castle, it will , the first reaction is to transform it It is more solid, and its unique meaning has even been imprinted on its own coins by the Harvey people. Therefore, the gold coins issued by the Harvey Kingdom are also called White Castle gold coins. For a long time, the White Castle gold coins of the Harvey Kingdom Fort gold coins are a currency widely circulated in nearby countries.

The crazy attack of the Martin Liya people on the Kingdom of Harvey finally ended at White Castle.

King Harvey was sitting in White Castle at that time, personally commanding the last 200,000 troops that the Kingdom of Harvey could mobilize to pull out at the front line of White Castle. In the morning light, dim swords and armor hunted for King Harvey's flag fluttering in the morning wind. Opposite Harvey's army is the attack line opened by the most elite army of 150,000 Martins.

"Forward!" Hundreds of teams criss-crossed, advancing and retreating, colliding and diagonally. Martin's most powerful Il tribe's Second Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army, Twelfth Army, and Thirteenth Army The army and other legions swooped in like a tide. White Castle was the last gateway to the capital of Harvey. Spike, the crown prince of the Il tribe, mobilized the most elite combat troops, trying to rely on the superiority of troops to overwhelm the White Castle in one fell swoop. fort,

"Woo woo, woo woo! Capture the capital of Harvey." Martin Liya warriors roared at the same time, and teams from all walks of life rolled after them. The men and horses were like black dust clouds, rolling towards the pressure. Countless pairs of footsteps fell heavily, covering covered the green ground, just like water flooded the beach

"The Fourth Army has been dispatched, and our Fifth Army cannot be left behind!" Spike was riding on a war horse, raising his sword high. As Crown Prince Spike's own army, he is a famous ace among the El tribe. The peak military appearance of the fifth county is even more shocking. Dozens of cavalry teams are arranged in a straight line, horses are marching forward, and the square formation is as neat as a ruler.

Above each cavalry formation, their respective team flags flew. "Prepare to attack!" Following the command from the cavalry commander, the Martin Liya light cavalry in the front row all raised their small wooden cavalry shields. The other hand held the three-meter cavalry bayonet tightly, accompanied by shouts. The sound of the sound, each cavalry formation marched as neatly as one person, co-authored The horses' hooves move and the dull thump of the horses' hooves rises and falls, causing the shaking ground to tremble. The queue is advancing like a majestic mountain, as if one mountain after another is gradually approaching. As far as the White Castle can see, there is slowness everywhere. Martin's troops were as slow as the tide. There are also catapults, mobile arrow towers, and crowds of people mixed in the middle of the infantry square, with the sound of vehicles and the clanging of armor.

In the Harvey Kingdom, although more than half of the troops are temporary troops, the country's strong spirit of building a country through force is fully displayed in them. Facing the royal capital behind them, which is the heart of the entire kingdom, the Harvey soldiers It's tragic and touching to look at death as if it's home. The wind blows, and the dense spears fall in pieces, without any need. To mobilize, half of the kingdom has fallen, tens of millions of compatriots have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and cities are crying after being massacred. Everyone knows this fact. If the Martin Liga people break through the White Castle, the Kingdom of Harvey will be completely destroyed. Both sides combined A total of more than 300,000 people fought in the small area of ​​​​White Castle, which was only three or four miles wide.

The Harveys regarded death as if they were at home, and marched forward without giving an inch. Facing the attack of Martin's cavalry array, they would not stop fighting as long as they still had breath. The wounded soldiers were holding the legs of the horses that had hit them, and let their horses stand in the chaos of the battle. The horse stumbled, knocking down the Martin Liya cavalry above. The people behind rushed forward and chopped at random. Facing the roaring cavalry charge, the pass below the White Castle became a threshold that swallowed flesh and blood. The Harvey people's light infantry was overwhelmed, and the heavy infantry pushed forward. The heavy infantry was defeated and collapsed. The royal guards and the cavalry escorts of the nobles of the royal capital all filled in.

For three full hours, the Martin Liya cavalry charged more than 20 times, but still failed to break through the White Fort's defense line. The White Fort, located at a high place, continued to bombard the Martin Liya cavalry with dense scattered stones. The cavalry and hundreds of slingshots from Harvey's army came down from the White Castle and fired wildly at the Martin Liyas below. Smashing, it is said that almost all the gravel on the hill where White Castle is located was thrown away, which caused considerable trouble to Martin Liya Cavalry. When charging, they had to always pay attention to the dense rocks falling from high places. If they were hit , even if you are wearing armor, you still can't stop it, and sometimes the severed finger parts will be blown up directly by the beating.

With such tenacious resistance, so fearless of death, so barbaric, and so cruel, the Harvey people behaved more like barbarians than the Martinliya people. With such a cruel and savage fighting style, even the ruthless Il tribe Crown Prince Si Pike had to be moved. When the Harvey people were in danger of life and death, they were like wild wolves forced into a corner. They roared and the battle started from the morning. Until the afternoon, corpses lay everywhere under the White Castle, corpses piled on top of each other. More than 50,000 Harvey people died in the battle, and the injuries were incalculable. More than 10,000 elite cavalry were killed in the Martinliya people, and more were injured. There were more than 20,000 people. Spike replaced the attacking troops four times in a row, but still failed to capture the pass below the White Castle and enter the royal capital.

Through the pass that was littered with corpses, Spike held the riding crop in his hand and rattled, his eyes were even redder. He could already see the huge outline of King Harvey's Doona in the distance, but he just couldn't afford to pass the distance, which was less than two meters wide. 100 meters entrance

"Assemble all the troops, I don't believe that Harvey people are made of iron. Even if they are really made of iron, I will crush him with my horse's hooves." Spike roared angrily, and when he personally drove and prepared to launch a general attack, from Later, news came that "His Royal Highness Silver Fox of the Ansili family has intervened, and the Kingdom of Harvey has promised to give up all the areas west of the royal capital, and is willing to compensate Martin Liya for fifteen million Harvey White Castle gold."

"What, is this true?" The Martinliya lords who were shouting slogans paused.

"The Harvey people originally intended to cede all the land west of the royal capital. That is half of the entire Harvey Kingdom."

"His Royal Highness Silver Fox is still very powerful. He allowed the Harvey people to voluntarily offer so many benefits without spending a single soldier. This is much better than us rushing around here stupidly." When the news came, he was about to prepare. The attacking Martin Li Ya army suddenly lost the motivation to attack. They spent so much effort to attack here just to capture the Harvey Kingdom, but the Harvey Kingdom is a famous mountainous area in the entire south. , the Harvey people are originally a mountain people, and generations of monarchs of the Harvey royal family have been hard-working and simple. They have been working hard for decades and turned most of their wealth into military expenditures. The royal family is famously poor. , the same applies to the situation. The capital of Harvey is not that big, with a total population of about 400,000. When placed in the ranks of Barro, an ordinary big city in Northern Europe, it cannot match the name of the capital at all.

"Your Highness, since the Harvey people intend to spend 15 million White Castle gold, we don't need to attack them."

"Yes, Your Highness, even King Harvey is made of gold. If you search them all, I'm afraid it will only be about 10 million Empire gold. The value of 1,000 Empire gold is 12 million Harvey White Castle." Gold, and now the Harvey people originally intended to give out 15 million Harvey White Castle gold, no matter how you look at it, they have made an extra three million. Webberburg, why are you guys still arguing with the Harveys here? Although Spike was upset in the face of the sudden news, he had to admit that Silver Fox had done a good job, and he was the one who joined the army to attack. Having paid a heavy price to capture the capital of Harvey, I'm afraid it won't be as much as the silver fox's lip service at the negotiation table.

In the end, the Martinliya army stopped at White Castle, which was only eight miles away from Harvey's former royal capital. White Castle naturally became the dividing line between the Harvey Kingdom and the Martinliya people. According to the agreement between the two parties, although White Castle was still divided The Harvey Kingdom is on the side, but the Harvey Kingdom cannot station any troops there.

At this moment, on the once tragic battlefield road, a dozen Harvey Kingdom cavalry escorted a carriage passing the edge of White Castle. Inside was the news of the return of Harvey Kingdom's special envoy Duke Slyer, Sam Tamara. Naturally, the news also reached the Harvey Kingdom. The Harvey people, who were already suffering from the Ikar people's betrayal, immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity. The Harvey Kingdom was nervous not only because of the Ikar people's attack, but also because of the Ikar people's attack. The frequent mobilization of Martin Liya people on the border in the past month has caused the Kingdom of Harvey to divide its limited troops into two. As a result, both sides are stretched thin. Now the Kingdom of Harvey urgently needs to touch the border. It is clear that the Martin Liya people will advance the attack. If necessary, it is okay to cede some of the interests. They just want to stabilize the Martin Liya side, and then allocate troops to fight back the Ikar invasion.

On the Samatamara side, they must have the same idea. No one is willing to consider whether their back is in danger when they need to face the enemy with all their strength. Samatamara and the Harvey Kingdom each give in. One step is a win-win result! The carriage of Duke Slyer, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, was discovered by Martin Li Yayou Sentry just after it passed the border. After explaining his request to see His Highness Sam Tamara, Martin Li Yayou Sentry took Duke Slaier with him. Arriving at Kusuo City, the city where Samtamara is located

Kusuo City is not a big city, and the lord still belongs to the Ansili family in terms of strength. Shatu City was partially collapsed by the Empire's Thunder God and is under repair. For some unknown reason, Sam Tamara chose to come to Kusuo. City, if it weren’t for the fact that Kusu City is the closest city to the border, no one would believe that Samtamara would think Kusu City is safe.

"You want to see His Highness Young Highness Sam? What a coincidence. Young Highness Sam went to Sussos City and stayed here first. When His Highness comes back, I will report it personally. Come. Arrange this immediately The special envoy goes down to rest."

The lord of the Ansili family in charge of Kusu City saw that Special Envoy Harvey asked to see Sam Tamara. Naturally, it was impossible for him to agree. However, considering the example of Shatai City, the lord of the Ansili family did not dare to kill him quietly. If he wanted to get rid of Slaer, he would simply be put under house arrest. For three days, no one had any contact with Duke Slaer. Even the servants who brought the food were on guard, but Slaier was not worried. In fact, he had expected this situation, so on the day he arrived in Kusuo City, there was Haha News of the arrival of the Wei Kingdom's special envoy in Kusu City has spread. If Samtamara is really serious, she will naturally come to see him.

The servant brought lunch, I had a few bites and then let it go. He was placed under house arrest. Of course, he had no appetite, and the servants around him all had silent faces. Suddenly, he heard violent footsteps, and then saw a dozen Martin Liya officers rushing in fiercely. The guards at the door When he tried to stop him, he was severely whipped by the other party. The others hurriedly got out of the way. It seemed that they did not know the other party. Soon, under the leadership of a fierce young man named Martin Liya, more than a dozen people The man came to Duke Slyer. The strong murderous intention emanating from them

"What do you want to do!"

"We are here to send you on your way. Don't think that you can do whatever you want by relying on His Highness Young Master Sam. You must understand that this is the Anxili family, not the Sam clan." The young officer said fiercely, looking at him coldly. Slaer's eyes were like sharp knives, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces, and said expressionlessly, "Lock him up." "Several tough Martin Sharptooth officers immediately tied up Slaier. From their skillful and strong strength, you can feel that they are battle-hardened soldiers. The soldiers slammed Slaer to the ground. Suddenly, Slaier was so stunned that he almost fainted. He felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. The corners of his mouth were rubbed and blood flowed out.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? Why do you want to see Mr. Sam?" The Martin Liya officer took a few vicious steps back and forth. Slaer's eyes were cold and he ignored the officer's roar next to him. He was completely unresponsive, his head hanging down. Don't say anything. This matter is related to the life and death of Harvey Kingdom. How can you say that even if you are dead, you must not disclose it. Otherwise, even if Sam Tamara originally agreed to reach an agreement, it would have to be because the news was leaked. Passive and choose to refuse

"It seems he is unwilling to speak. Take him away." The officer said angrily with an annoyed look on his face. He raised his hand and stuffed a ball of smelly socks into Slater's mouth. Several guards lifted Slater and left. . No one nearby dared to stop him. Obediently, he hid nearby and watched Slaer being forcibly taken away. Slaer was stuffed into a carriage.

Slaer was lying on the bench of the carriage, looking at the Martin Liya noble sitting opposite in surprise, and reached out with one hand to pull out the smelly socks from his mouth.

"Your Excellency, Duke of Slyer, you are well."

"Sir Si Green, you..." Slaer sat up swaying,

"There is no other way. There are too many people and many eyes are crossed. In order to avoid trouble, His Highness can only adopt this method to meet with Your Excellency."
