Realm of Power

"Is it the end already?"

The corners of Rila King Owitt's stern mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes fell forward. The cold and biting wind in the dark night cut on his body like a sharp blade. The Rila army gathered on the fourteenth day, and the heavy infantry in heavy armor lifted up. Standing at the front with a steel tower shield, the torches were like a forest, like clusters of flames swaying and dancing in the cold wind, reflecting the Rila army as clearly as the waves.

Behind the heavy armored infantry, there were Harvey archers wearing light armor and holding war bows. They faced the last inner fortress formed by the natural mountain in front. Following the order, they all raised their war bows. Under the reflection of the torch, countless flashing metal arrows twinkled like stars, shooting, and in an instant, countless cold lights passed across the line of sight at a height of forty meters, snap, snap, snap. Clusters of arrows flew across the city wall, hitting the city wall with mud splashing down like raindrops.

"The Biang people will never surrender!" The almost hoarse, but more tragic voice was mixed with the sound of arrows flying down.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, with hundreds of thousands of troops fighting to the death, the Rila people relied on their absolute superiority in strength and finally set foot inside this solid barrier that had blocked the ambitions of the Rila people for decades. The offensive and defensive battle of the Sun Fortress finally came to the final moment. Rilla's army successively captured the outer wall. Of the three inner forts in front, only the last one was still holding on, but it was obvious that it could not hold on for much longer. There are definitely no more than 2,000 Biang defenders in the final fortress. Most of the more than 40,000 Biang defenders died in the battle. Four-fifths of the entire Sun Fortress was occupied by Rilla's army. It can be taken down with just one go, but At this moment, King Owitt of Rila ordered the entire army to repair

"The main force of King Beang's army is marching very quickly. It is approaching forty miles away. The forward cavalry is about four thousand, and it is less than twenty miles away from the Fortress of the Sun."

The news brought by the speeding messenger cavalry caused a sudden silence in the air.

Owitt's face became more and more grim under the light of the torch. Generals Rilla took a breath of air, and they couldn't help but sigh in their minds that the main force of the Bion Army came so quickly. General Rilla opened his lips slightly, I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say it.

A full ten hours earlier than expected, and this suddenly shortened ten hours can be said to be fatal to the current Rila army, because although the Rila army has captured most of the Sun Fortress, But approaching, there was still a fourth level in the hands of the Biang people. The army attacked for nearly a day and a night, and twenty hours of continuous fighting. Even the hardened people couldn't stand it.

It was originally expected that it would have to wait until the afternoon of the fourth day at the earliest, but now it is only the evening of the third day. Under this situation, even if the Ruila army captured the last fourth level of the inner fort, the Ruila army, which had fought fiercely for a day and night, could not even take a breath. There was no chance, and they had to face the rapid counterattack of the main force of Bion's death army. Although Rui The La army still has an advantage in terms of strength, but its own losses in attacking the Sun Fortress are not small. The strength advantage it can occupy is between a few thousand people, and the large amount of physical consumption is enough to even out this advantage. Under the sudden onslaught, Ruila's army may even collapse!

What can be done now is for someone to come out to block the reinforcements of the Biang army, but that will basically mean death.

"Your Majesty, our 15th Army has not yet entered the battle since the attack. Please send our 15th Army to stop it!"

A middle-aged Rilla general with a slender figure and a heavy face wearing yellow armor stood up from the general and stood at attention to salute King Owitt of Rilla. He was Montero, the commander of Rilla's 15th Army. He was the commander of Rilla's 15th Army this morning. Having just arrived at the Sun Fortress battlefield, when they saw Montero standing up to ask for a fight, the other Rilla generals had a strange look on their faces.

Even Owitt himself took a deep breath, and his eyes fell sharply on Montero. After hesitating for a few seconds, he rejected Montero's request, "No, the Fifteenth Army only has 6,000 people, and Both the equipment and the soldiers are far from the configuration of a combat force. I can't let you die, and I also promised you that I won't let you go to the battlefield again."

"Your Majesty, in this situation, besides our 15th Army, are there any other suitable candidates?"

Montero looked around and said with determination, "Not to mention that all the armies are exhausted, but the Biang people are probably red-eyed in order to rescue the Sun Fortress. It is said that the main force of the Biang army this time is 40,000. There are many people, and there are troops from various places along the way. The total force reached 80,000. Faced with such a large army, it would be impossible to stop it without more than 40,000 troops. If the number is lower than this number, the final possible result is that although it delays time, it will also be annoyed and angry. Bion was eaten alive and skinned alive,

This is a mission of who will go and who will die. The fall of the Sun Fortress is imminent, and the Imperial Minister of State Hu Keqili has already landed at Fort Locke. The countdown to this war may be just these few hours. In the final analysis, We are also Rila soldiers, and it is our bounden duty to go to the battlefield. What’s more, it is also the greatest honor for our Rila soldiers to be able to guarantee the bright destiny of the Rila Kingdom for the last fifty years.”

"But you only have 6,000 troops. Even if I give you all the reserve troops, there will definitely not be 20,000 troops. What you have to face is 80,000 Biang troops!"

Owitt's face was solemn, and he clenched his five fingers together. The predecessor of the Fifteenth Army was the Third Army of the Kingdom of Rila. It was the bodyguard unit that Owitt relied on most. At the time, the Kingdom of Rila led the Central European Barro Allied Forces and the Empire. During the struggle for supremacy, the emperor of the empire used cavalry to raid him, resulting in the death of more than 100,000 coalition forces, including the third army of the Kingdom of Rilla, who fought to the death to prevent the empire from being wiped out.

Later, during the Hungarian Rebellion, faced with the attack of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops, Owitt commanded the Third Army to defend the Kunta Fortress and fought to the death, temporarily blocking the attack of the Hungarian Right Prime Minister. The prime minister was assassinated, and hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops were wiped out by the empire in the first battle. However, Rila's 15th Army had a total of 14,000 people, and the last remaining There were less than 2,000 soldiers. After the Hungarian Rebellion, King Ovit of Rila could not bear to rebuild the Third Army, so he organized the remaining 200 people into the 15th Army of the Kingdom of Rila. The total number of the army was only 6,000, and because it was already It does not belong to the front-line combat order. It is mainly responsible for logistics. Basically, it allows more than 200 veterans to provide for their retirement.

This time, the whole Kingdom of Rila Kingdom attacked the Kingdom of Biang. The 15th Army received the order from King Owitt at the last moment, so it arrived two full days later than the other armies. The reason why King Owitt of Rila Kingdom sent The Fifteenth Army was transferred, partly because the latter The other reason is to let these veterans who have fought countless battles take a look at the rumored Sun Fortress with their own eyes and see the flag of the Rila Kingdom flying on the top of the Sun Fortress. It is the dream of any Rila soldier

Owitt never thought about letting the 15th Army go to the battlefield again, but the current situation is that except for the 15th Army, no one can take on this fatal task! Even Owitt, who is called the cold king by the outside world, is hard to make a decision at this moment.

"Your Majesty, actually we may not necessarily die!"

Montero took a deep breath. From Montero, we can basically see the characteristics of Rila soldiers. They are proud but not arrogant, brave but not reckless, because they are located at the connection point between Barrow and the Congo Empire in Central Europe. The Rila soldiers who have integrated the military ideas of the Opalo region and the Central European Balo region are generally better in quality than the average Central European Balo soldiers. Otherwise, they would not have had the capital to compete with the empire in the first place. Montero said in a solemn voice, "Bion." King** Team Football There are 80,000 people, but the main force is still 40 miles away from the Sun Fortress, and I believe that these 80,000 troops cannot arrive together, so the opponent will choose to wait for the time to assemble. I only need to block the opponent's forward cavalry. , as for the main force of the Biang people, they were able to reduce the scheduled march time from four days to less than three days. I believe that the Biang people will not feel comfortable there. By the time they are assembled, our army should have captured the fourth level of the inner fort. "

"You are right. According to the intelligence, the main force of the 80,000-strong Biang army was indeed dispersed. The 40,000 troops marched in all the way. The other 40,000 people gathered from various places in Biang. Because of the distance, There is bound to be a time difference between distance and distance, but even if there are 40,000 people, you can't stop it! "Owett's face counts. It was a bit more relaxed. The so-called authorities who were fans of the war knew clearly that as the commander of this war, if we look at time, from the moment he became King of Rilla, he already had the desire to capture the Sun Fortress, and the specifics of this would not be clear. The possible goal became possible, but it was after the Rila Youth Army was ambushed.

Owitt keenly grasped the true thoughts of the emperor, and the emperor acquiesced in the war. For Owitt, it was equivalent to compensation for the death of 20,000 young soldiers.

"The only problem is that I am not familiar with the Biang area where the Sun Fortress is located, which prevents me from determining the most suitable attack point!"

Montero raised his head and looked at the silent face of King Owitt of Rila. He knew that His Majesty Owitt had been planning for the Sun Fortress for a long time. King Owitt of Rila was an extremely cautious person. This time, he would use all the country's troops. If you place your bets on the gambling table, you will definitely not let go of the possibility of losing everything due to a small oversight, so His Majesty Owitt must have a trump card that knows the movements of Bion's army.

"Let Sula each come here!"

King Owitt of Rilla let out a heavy groan, and it could be seen from his tone that he agreed with Montero's view. As long as the main force of the Biang Army did not arrive at the same time, and the true combat strength of the 15th Army could not be judged, this The war may not be without a chance, time, everything finally returns to time, the emperor of the empire is indeed... What to tell his emissary, three days, only three days for himself, if he can't take the Sun Fortress, then Rui Laren himself lost the bet, and the empire has already completed the compensation! This is a precious opportunity that was bought with 20,000 lives. Every minute and every second consumed here is human blood.

"Sulag?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, the faces of generals Ruila were stunned for a moment. Is there such a person in the Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

"Sulagu only returned to Ruila twenty days ago. It's normal that you don't know each other."

His Majesty Owitt said something, but didn't say anything else. It seemed that he was not willing to reveal anything more. Sulag was the chief intelligence officer of the Kingdom of Rila that broke into the Kingdom of Biang. This time, the Kingdom of Rila was about to Sulla is responsible for all surveillance of the movements of the Biang army, and the Kingdom of Rilla has laid another secret in the Kingdom of Biang. A nail, decades of continuous infiltration, Owitt himself didn’t know how many Riela people had eyes on the Biang Army, and the person who controlled all of this was Sulag. If it weren’t for This battle is staked on the fate of Ruila's country, and Owitt will not recruit this intelligence officer who is buried deep in the Kingdom of Biang.

"His Majesty"

A few minutes later, a fat middle-aged man appeared in front of King Rila. He had a mediocre face that you would never remember after just one glance. He had a smile on his lips and wore a pair of slightly inappropriate locks. A, if this wasn't a battlefield filled with dead human blood and corpses, General Rilla's first impression of this middle-aged man would have been absolutely nothing! This is a greasy middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere. You can see such a character in taverns, grocery stores, and auction houses. Generals Rilla are thinking, what does His Majesty Owitt mean by bringing this middle-aged fat man?

"Can you determine the specific route of the Biang army's forward cavalry?" Montero looked hesitant and asked through gritted teeth.

"This..." The middle-aged fat man named Sulag paused for a moment and looked at King Owitt of Rila. When he saw His Majesty Owitt nodded, he continued, "The forward cavalry of Rila should be able to go to the Sun Fortress. The Cullo hilly area on the left is because it is the most suitable place for cavalry to run at high speed. In other directions, there are either rocky beaches or dense vegetation. In the winter wood forest, the cavalry cannot run at all in such an area, and once they encounter our army, they may not even be able to escape quickly. If there is news about the main force of Bion's army, we only know that it has appeared in Forty miles away, if I want to know the specific situation, I need time, and I believe that specific news will come back soon."

"How can you be so sure that the opponent's cavalry will definitely take the Cullo Hills? If the Biang cavalry takes another route, do you know what it means!"

Montero emphasized his tone, showing an even more aggressive tone. Although he was determined not to be afraid of death in battle, it did not mean that he had to seek death. Moreover, if the route was intercepted incorrectly, even if he died in battle, his death would be in vain! The other generals Ruila also had doubtful looks on their faces. Is this Sulager reliable?

This is a major decision related to whether the Kingdom of Ruila will succeed in one battle or whether it will overwhelm the country in one battle! More than 100,000 troops have fought bloody battles until now. How could this person be so rash!

"I have lived around the Fortress of the Sun for thirty years. I can be sure that the opponent's cavalry must have taken the Kuro Hills. I personally determined and mapped that road because we sacrificed four people when we encountered the patrol." Sula said with different expressions. His calm eyes flickered for a moment, changing from just ordinary In a strange state, there was a sharp feeling like a sharp weapon being pulled out of its sheath. The expressions of generals Rilla changed one after another. They were all rolled out from the pile of dead people on the battlefield. If you can't feel the aura of killing people, , and he has killed many people. Who is this Sulag! The generals of Rilla didn't know that the moment they captured the outer wall of the Sun Fortress, under Sulag's arrangement, a thousand Rilla scout cavalry formed into countless small teams and headed towards the Kingdom of Biang from the Sun Fortress. It was spread out like a fishing net in the direction of the Fortress of the Sun towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Biang. The area of ​​50 miles was already covered with Rayla scout cavalry.

In the dark night, under the black sky, the cold wind seemed to be rolling in from the sky, and the wind was blowing and the grass was dying. Whining past the hills littered with stones and weeds, three miles ahead, there is the Fortress of the Sun, and you can still see the blazing flames in the direction of the fortress. Pushed by the strong wind, thick black smoke rises from the horizon to the top of your head, until Cover the entire sky It became a dark world. In the originally silent environment, there was a rolling sound of thunder, and the earth trembled violently. It seemed that there was a heavy force swinging, turning the newly thawed ground into mud, and black shadows came from far away. Emerging everywhere,

Standing on the slope, Montero secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Biang cavalry actually chose to go through the Cullo Hills. Two minutes later, Montero yelled "Fifteenth Army, raise your guns!" in his ears. The horses' hooves rumbled loudly, and the ground beneath their feet trembled violently. Seeing the long black line rushing towards them without stopping, getting closer and closer, the hearts of the soldiers of the 15th Army were beating so nervously that even their hands were trembling. ! They held the spears in their hands tightly, which was the only support they could feel. Three neat rows of spears pointed diagonally forward, and the densely packed spear tips shone with the terrifying edge of metal even in the dark night. The spear heads are like a forest!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred and a half!

Fifty and a half!

The black shadow in front began to reveal the lineup. It was a galloping armored war horse. The knight on top had drawn a sharp cavalry sword. The soldiers of the 15th Army felt like they were facing a black iron wall that was rushing towards them. The ground is pressing down! This iron wall is still expanding rapidly, even occupying the entire field of vision! It was an iron wall composed of countless armored cavalry densely packed and arranged. It was close enough that you could clearly see the steaming white breath of the horses, and it was close enough that you could see the blood marks on the long swords. Everyone seemed to have a feeling of shortness of breath, and everyone's nerves were at their limit. "He rushed over with all his strength." There was a short and thick Bion call from the opposite side. In less than three seconds, the two armies collided fiercely. Thousands of spears were thrust out at the same time. Amidst screams and exclamations, the first cavalryman who collided with the dense spears was instantly cut into pieces. , but the cavalry behind them pressed forward fiercely without fear of death, and there was a sound of broken spears, and more iron hoofs and long knives hacked and killed the soldiers of the 15th Army indiscriminately.
