Realm of Power

In the dark night, the cold wind blows in the face. The Sun Fortress is located on the mountain. Logically speaking, the temperature should be lower than the plain area below. But now standing here, King Owitt of Rila feels that the temperature seems to be higher than that under the mountain. , it is said that the Sun Fortress blocked the warm wind from the ocean, which caused the abnormal temperature in the north of the Sun Fortress. It seems that it is not entirely groundless.

"Your Majesty, the Fifteenth Legion has encountered the forward cavalry of the Biang Army. I believe that the Biang Army should have received the same news at this moment." Sulla, who was slightly fatter, came up from behind and looked at him with a slightly complicated look. King Owitt of Rilla and Bion's forward cavalry really walked through the Cullo Hills. Isn't this what was predicted? But Sulag's face looked more solemn.

"It seems that your guess is right. That Lucize III is indeed a master who likes to play tricks and really chose to take risks!" King Owitt of Rilla sighed and put down the gorgeously patterned telescope in his hand. , the eyes depend on However, staring in the direction of the Kuro Hills, the telescope given by the empire is indeed a good thing. If it is a flat area, you can see ten miles away at a glance, but it is dark now. Under the darkness of the night, all that can be seen in the Kuro Hills is ups and downs It was just a line, but this did not affect Owitt's feeling. He could feel that a life-and-death fight must be going on in the Kuro Hills at this moment. The Bion cavalry who were rushing to the rescue were approaching here at all costs, and he was responsible for blocking it. Montero's Fifteenth Army, even with his own reserves, only numbered more than 10,000 people. They wanted to forcibly block the full impact of 4,000 fully equipped elite Bion cavalry without any support. It's almost a bloody massacre.

"Yes, since an hour ago, the Biang scouts have turned from a small-scale collision to a large-scale confrontation. Seventeen squads have lost news, and two squadron leaders have died. This shows that the Biang army has begun Take action! And now even though he knows that the forward cavalry will definitely encounter obstruction, he still orders the forward cavalry. Entering from the Kuro Hills, other than to cover the main force of the kingdom coming at night, I really can't find any reason for the other party to let four thousand elite cavalry die!" Surago's seemingly mediocre eyes, at this moment. But he is so bright that people are afraid of him. He is slightly fat and looks very mediocre, but that does not mean that he is an unknown person.

On the contrary, his other name before restoring the name Sulag was famous in the Kingdom of Biang. Lakovis, the head of the Strategy Department of the Ministry of Affairs of the King of Biang, King Lucize of Biang was the most famous. A trusted think tank, such an important figure, was actually sent by the Kingdom of Rila The spy chief, it was not until the Battle of Sun Fortress broke out and Lakovis suddenly disappeared that Bion discovered the problem, but it was just a guess. After all, as Lakovis, the Rilla people were launching such a Before the war, there is a great possibility of getting rid of the king's advisor first.

As the person in charge of the intelligence network that broke into the Kingdom of Biang, Sulag spent most of his life in the Kingdom of Biang. To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a Biang. At the age of six, he fled with his father from the Kingdom of Rila to the Kingdom of Biang on charges of espionage. Later, he was appreciated by the Biang royal family. The sixteen-year-old Lakovis was recruited into the Biang royal family and became an officer of the local Biang royal family. He was still one of the aides-de-camp of the Crown Prince Lucize. Although his appearance was not outstanding, he showed extremely high talent in strategy. He was once regarded as the shadow adviser of the Crown Prince Lucize, and Lucize became a relative. King of Ang, Rakovis requested to be transferred to the Fortress of the Sun. Ten years later, he became the deputy commander of the Biang Border Guard Corps. Six years ago, he was transferred back to the capital of Biang and became the head of the Strategy Department of the Biang Military Department.

Such a person can be ranked among the top three even in the Biang Military Affairs Department. He has been stationed in the Sun Fortress for more than ten years. He has a good understanding of the military situation in the area north of the Sun Fortress. He later entered the Royal Ministry of Military Affairs and even the entire Sun Fortress. The troops deployed in the area north of the fortress came from The hand of Lakovis was able to weaken the precursor of the large-scale revenge of the Kingdom of Rilla into just a small and predatory revenge, so that the power of the Kingdom of Bion in the north of the Sun Fortress not only failed to strengthen, On the contrary, it also weakened Mr. Bo, which was naturally the role played by the head of the Strategy Department.

"The Ruila people have been severely weakened. They are clearly suppressed by the empire this time. They will never dare to mobilize too many troops. The troops that can be mobilized this time are only 30,000 to 40,000 of their border guards. Even if it is a harassment, it can cause The damage caused is also extremely limited. We, Bion, only need to strengthen the walls and clear the country so that they cannot loot any supplies. As long as the empire comes out. Without intervention, the Rila people will retreat on their own, which will inevitably cause a major blow to the reputation of the Rila people. By then, our Bion army will fully enter the Land of Three Rivers, and we will surely be able to regain the Land of Three Rivers in one battle." Rakovi Si's speech at the royal council meeting greatly satisfied the unwillingness of the whole Kingdom of Biang to fight against the Rila people.

This ambush of the Ruila Youth Army was originally the intention of the empire. Why should the Beon people take the blame for this!

More than 20,000 Rila youth troops were ambushed and wiped out. The Rila people must have rushed over like crazy. Under such circumstances, it is really not worth it to fight with the Rila people north of the Sun Fortress. Moreover, If that doesn't work, isn't there a barrier like the Sun Fortress that is absolutely impossible to conquer! Since the Rila people's revenge cannot shake the foundation of the Biang Kingdom, and can at most only harass the north of the Sun Fortress, there is no need to worry too much! Moreover, the Riela people will take revenge in July, which is more than a month away. There is enough time to respond!

"Since the fact that Isha Kornan ambushed the Rila Youth Army is unavoidable, let's simply characterize this attack as Isha Kornan's private act of revenge. In this way, more than 200 people in the Kingdom of Biang can be protected. The image of being unaffected by major powers for many years has also made the Rila people's revenge unknown! "The entire Biang Kingdom did not realize the seriousness of this invasion, and according to the war, Various analyzes by the Department of Defense have shown that even if the Rila people's revenge will take a long time, the only one among them who is aware of the seriousness of the border guard is the head of the border army, Isaac Kernan, who has not had a chance to speak because of the ambush of the Rila youth. As for why the Kingdom of Biang decided to sacrifice Isha Kornan to protect the face of the Kingdom of Biang, naturally the head of the Strategy Department was behind the push.

"Where do you think the main force of the Biang army will approach?"

King Owit of Rila withdrew his gaze from the direction of Kuro Hills, and looked at Sulag behind him with a shining expression. His eyes were full of trust. This battle of the Sun Fortress would have been impossible without the assistance of Sulag. Until now, the issue of Sulag's loyalty was not a problem at all, because Sulag His previous identity was false, and even his current identity is also false. Surago's true identity is the prince of the royal family. It was announced that he was the younger brother of King Owit who died in infancy. For the sake of the Sun Fortress, the Ruila royal family also completely sacrificed his identity. Not only did he send an important member of the royal family to the Kingdom of Biang, he spent a lot of money.

And it is only now that this most important wedge into the Kingdom of Biang has been really used. If there is no excellent opportunity to capture the Sun Fortress, Sulag's most likely option is to continue to stay in the Kingdom of Biang until End of life, and Owitt believes that the Biang people must have planted a similar wedge in the Kingdom of Rila. It is a pity that a Hungarian rebellion caused the Biang people's line to be cut off in large areas. They want to recover, It can’t be done in less than ten years!

Sulaghe heard the inquiry from King Owit of Rilla, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the large black shadow below the Sun Fortress, sighed and said, "Back then, I submitted a report to the Biang Military Affairs Ministry about the suffering of the Sun Fortress. The response plan for the raid, which stated that if the Sun Fortress was unable to be rescued, Under such circumstances, it is better to simply use the Sun Fortress as a bait... deliberately expose the cavalry in the direction of the Kuro Hills to attract the opponent's blocking forces, and then use the main force group to attack the opponent's flank. The best cover for the main force's advance is naturally here , a winter forest that remains evergreen even in winter!

Su Lago paused for a moment, and couldn't help but reveal a bit of emotion in his tone before continuing, "This forest is extremely dense, with a length of more than forty-five miles, extending from the bottom of the Sun Fortress to where the main force of the Biang Army is currently assembled. When I was in charge of the defense of the Sun Fortress area, I deployed manpower to open a fairly wide road in the dense forest in the name of my hobby of hunting. I believe that even if no one has maintained it in the past few years, it will not affect traffic. exist At night, it is a very difficult problem to use large-scale scouts to fight and deliberately lure the opponent's scouts away. It is a very difficult problem to find the army entering such a dense forest. From the time point of view, I think what the previous scouts said It is false that the main force of the Biang army is still stagnant forty miles away. If the forward cavalry appears in the Cullo Hills, then the main force of the infantry group should not be more than fifteen miles away. Otherwise, the four thousand forward cavalry will be sacrificed in vain. "

"Fifteen miles!"

King Owitt of Rila couldn't help but tighten his pupils. According to the speed of the infantry, which was an hour, he couldn't help but glance at the dense canopy-like forest below again, and there was no dense forest in his mind. The Bion army was swarming towards this side like ants, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb. After a moment, I have to admit that this method is really ruthless. Who would have thought that when the forward cavalry rushed in crazily, the main force of the infantry group would sneak up from another direction. In order to block the cavalry's assault, the blocking troops must have been sent out. , if you are touched again at this time, it is completely impossible not to be beaten and collapsed!

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. To a certain extent, the empire has helped us a lot in this battle. Although I don't know if this was the emperor's intentional act, at least the facts are there. , the empire stationed 20,000 troops at the southern port of Biang. In order to defend against the 20,000 imperial troops, Lucize had to move five Thousands of elite troops are suppressed in the south and dare not move without permission, otherwise this time there will definitely not be only this small rescue force. Because of this, I have always suspected that your Majesty's attack on the Sun Fortress was planned by the emperor long ago! " Sulag raised his head and glanced at the black sky, as if he wanted to find the answer from some kind of fog.

"The emperor's arrangement..."

King Owitt of Rila's face changed slightly. Regarding the imperial emperor, Owitt had always been a taboo in his heart that he did not want to touch. He single-handedly knocked the Kingdom of Rila from its peak, and during the Hungarian Rebellion, He also helped up the Rila Kingdom. Owitt himself couldn't figure out whether the emperor was kind or hostile to him, but at least one thing was certain, that is, as long as the emperor was involved, everything would be the same. It's something that makes people feel desperate,

It is said that the emperor is the number one person in the continent, but how many people can really understand the emperor's actions?

Because what I saw was basically finished. The Gallic Empire, the Gangfei Empire, the Kingdom of Feishan, the Empire of Istan, the Kingdom of Fezer, and the Eero Empire. Along the way, emperors, kings, and famous generals from all over the world were dying one by one. , and what is very pitiful is that Owitt is also one of the people who has seen the emperor take action himself. During the Hungarian Rebellion, Owitt could clearly see how the emperor single-handedly defeated hundreds of thousands of Hungarian troops. Chu,

In order to seize this opportunity, Owitt even endured the ambush of the 20,000 young men. Thinking of the tacit approval that the special envoy sent this time received from the emperor, Owitt also obtained the acquiescence from the other party's high-ranking Sulag. Another meaning came out of his mouth, it seemed that the emperor himself wanted to attack the Sun Fortress himself!

This is impossible, how is this possible!

This kind of thought is growing like wild weeds. Sweat is pouring on Owitt's forehead, and everyone feels confused. Therefore, at this moment, he has basically confirmed this. The person who will benefit the most from taking down the Sun Fortress may not be Rui. Not a kingdom, but an empire! With the fall of the Fortress of the Sun, Rilla would at most get an almost empty land of Three Rivers, and the Biang people would no longer have the pride to fight against the empire, and would eventually have to truly bow to the empire.

The Kingdom of Rila has almost used up all its funds and supplies in this battle. Although some were looted from the north of the fortress, if they want to develop the land of Three Rivers, they must borrow more funds from the empire, and in addition to the battle of Sun Fortress The meaning on one level is even more obvious, that is, setting a benchmark. Rilla and Bion are They are two sides of the benchmark, allowing the entire Central European Barrow Kingdom to see what the consequences will be for the Biang people who raise a flag of rebellion against the empire. Even if the empire does not send troops, it can still break the backs of the Biang people and play to the death. For Riela people who are good at admitting their mistakes, the empire can continue to support them regardless of past grudges.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to go against the empire! As for the previous attitude of all the countries, I am afraid no one will dare to do so after this battle.

In this battle, the empire was able to overwhelm the Barrow countries in Central Europe and surrender without sending a single soldier, a single pawn or a single thing. The most powerful countries, Hungary and Rila, have become veritable watchdogs of the empire. The Lobos people completely retreated into the snowy mountains, the Biang people lost the Sun Fortress, and the southern ports were controlled by the empire. In the following years, it can be imagined that the previous situation of the coexistence of various powers in Central Europe in Barrow has been completely flattened by the empire.

"Actually, the empire's truly terrifying killer move is Fei Shan! What the empire is doing now is also to squeeze the Central European Barrow funds into Fei Shan."

Su Lage saw the huge change in Owitt's face, and thought it would be better to speak clearly once and for all. As the head of the Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Biang, his eyes obviously looked further than others. Fei Shan's The rise cannot be ignored, and a little analysis can conclude that “this After the war, the Barrow royal families in Central Europe will inevitably take a new stance, and with the lessons of Rilla and Bion, the royal families will not only move closer to the empire collectively, but also put forward ideas because of the current problem of inability to obtain benefits from the ports. To open the empire and allow all The emperor will definitely agree to the request of the royal family to invest in Fei Shan. When the time comes, the funds of the Barrow royal families in Central Europe will be invested in Fei Shan. The empire will have effortlessly grasped the lifeblood of the Barrow royal families in Central Europe. This It is at the economic level, that is Even if the royal families knew that this would be the result, they would still choose to invest funds in Feishan, because the rise of the Feishan region has begun to replace the commercial status of the Barro region in Central Europe. If they do not want to sit back and have nothing, investing in Feishan is the right choice. The only choice!"

"So, we have no room to struggle anymore?" Owitt's face turned pale and his body swayed slightly. It was obvious that he was hit a bit seriously. He thought of Rila's desperate efforts to conquer the Sun Fortress and develop the land of Three Rivers. The last possibility is to make a wedding dress for the empire, and I feel quite sad inside.

"Are you struggling? At least we got the Sun Fortress and the Land of Three Rivers. Compared to the Biang people, we have already made a lot of money. As for the other things, I don't think we need to think about it now." Su Lage smiled bitterly. In the Kingdom of Biang, his heart is complicated. If he was not directly related to the royal family of Rila, he might choose to become a Biang completely, but he is a member of the royal family of Rila, and the blood of the royal family of Rila flows in his veins.

"That's right, just take down the Sun Fortress. There's no point in thinking about anything else!" Owitt is worthy of being a hero of his generation. He suddenly burst out laughing. After a brief moment of imbalance, he immediately adjusted his mentality.

"Send the signal and order the 16th Army and the 21st Army to enter the fortress area." King Owitt took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of weakness in his heart, and loudly ordered to the attendants behind him.

No wonder Sura insisted on transferring the last two corps left in the country to the battlefield of the Sun Fortress, and these two corps did not participate in the battle, but stayed ten miles away from the Sun Fortress. Just now, when Montero of the 15th Corps volunteered to fight, King Owitt almost told the two corps about it, but he finally held back. He didn't dare to take the risk. Although the Bion intelligence network was gone, no one dared to say that there were no Bion eyes among General Ruila. Why did he secretly transfer the two corps later? It was to avoid the eyes of the Bion.
