Realm of Power

The meeting in the conference hall is coming to an end. Eaglewoods' orders are gradually being read out. The air is filled with obvious fanaticism, a sultry irritability before a storm is coming. The generals stationed in the major oases here are all sweating profusely. . But no one thought of wiping it, they just stared at Eaglewoods... Within ten days, you must gather all the population and materials of the Grand Oasis to Posini. Can you use the will of our soldiers to remove the thirteen The crown of the desert built up of large oases is a gift to congratulate His Majesty the King on becoming the emperor. It is also the strongest blow for our Kingdom of Aden to deal with the desert. It all depends on your performance." Eaglewoods stood up, his voice cold and cold. murderous "Please rest assured, sir." The faces of the Aden generals were excited, their eyes were red, their voices were loud and vibrating, and the hall was buzzing with gratitude. The benefits are huge, and they can also give His Majesty the King a coveted gift for being promoted to emperor. This is a gift that any general can only dream of. It is an honor for Aden soldiers. At the entrance of the conference hall, an Aden general held a report in his hand. Regardless of the obstruction of the guards at the door, he rushed into the conference room of the base camp in a hurry. Before he could stop, he had already shouted

"Lord Eaglewoods, urgent report from Rumchi, the imperial army raided the Boca Oasis"

"What, Rumchi is back! The distance from Boka Oasis to here...it takes at least four or five days."

Everyone was stunned when they saw the people running in, and there were several gasping sounds in the room. It was really Rumchi... Several Aden generals jumped up first, and the chairs were banging against each other, and they were mobilizing The face of Eaglewoods who spoke was even more astonished. The person who rushed in was none other than Rumchi, the commander of the 15th Army stationed at Boca Grand Oasis. He was dressed in rags. Like a beggar on the roadside, he ran desperately all the way, even bypassing the Star Oasis, and finally ran to Rumchi in the Posini Oasis. He immediately asked to see Eagle Woods, but the guard told him that Eagle Lord Woods was holding an important military meeting and asked Rumchi to wait outside the hall. Rumchi pushed past the guards and forced his way in.

"Lord Eaglewoods, the military situation is urgent. My subordinates have no choice but to break in by force." Rumchi's hysterical voice was like a broken drum. "The Imperial Army broke into the Poka Oasis four days ago..., Poka The Card Oasis has been breached, and the following large oases may be in deep trouble. Please ask Lord Eaglewoods to send troops to rescue immediately..."

"The Boka Oasis was breached? You lost the city and the land, and you delayed the report. As the general stationed at the Boka Oasis, you left the Aden Fifteenth Army and ran back on your own? You lost the Boka Oasis, and you came back to do it. What, why don't you die in the Boca Oasis?" In Eagle Woods' wrinkled eyes, a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, he He thought that everything was under control, and he was just waiting to take over the entire big oasis and really leave a mark in the history of the Kingdom of Aden. But now someone came to tell him that someone was taking advantage of his attention. During the few days I spent in the Grand Oasis of Posini, I collapsed my own wall with just one kick, and then I ran in and ate the king's meal by force. How could this be okay?

"Rumchi, you should be executed as soon as possible!"

"Who promised in the beginning that we could withstand the attack of the imperial army with certainty, and that even if the emperor came in person, he would never step into the Boca Oasis? But now he has been fooled by the empire, and was The other generals of Aden could not sit still and stood up and asked loudly.

The destruction of Boka Oasis is equivalent to the door of the great desert being pushed open.

Don't look at the fierce scolding of Rumchi by the generals of Aden, but in fact they are beating the drum in their hearts. Rumchi is the commander of the Fifteenth Army of Aden. The Fifteenth Army of Aden is not a weakling. Not only is it not weak, but it is In terms of combat effectiveness, it is second only to the Aden Eighth Army stationed in the Slam Oasis. It is a powerful force of the kingdom that has truly experienced the test of iron and blood. It is by no means an ordinary fish-belly army. Rumqi's The Fifteenth Army of Aden has a strength of 9,000, but it can definitely be regarded as the combat strength of an ordinary army of 20,000. Moreover, after Rumchi took over the Poca Grand Oasis, he mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to build defenses, which is known as the Lai Ten Army. Even the imperial army could withstand it, but now, this kingdom's powerful force was defeated by the invading imperial army in just one day... If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to defend it!

"What was the situation like that day?"

"The imperial army made a night battle surprise attack. Qiaomusi's army on the flank of our army collapsed without a fight. As a result, our 15th Army was attacked from both sides. In the end, it was defeated and defeated." When Rumchi mentioned Qiaomusi's name, his face was gritted. If not Qiao Musi's army collapsed too quickly, and his fifteenth army would not even be able to withdraw from the battlefield.

Eaglewoods was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran. He quickly calmed down and asked about the battle situation that day. The more he asked, the more frightened he became. To quickly defeat the 15th Aden Army, the empire would have to deploy at least five times more troops. , this is a judgment based on years of combat experience, but judging from what Rumchi said, the strength of the Imperial Army that stormed the 15th Army seemed to be only a little over 10,000, but it definitely did not exceed 20,000.

"The imperial army, which probably numbered less than 20,000 people, defeated the heavily defended Boka Oasis... The Aden generals in the entire hall were dumbfounded.

Twenty thousand imperial troops attacked the 9,000-strong Aden Fifteenth Army, and it only took half a night to defeat the Aden Fifteenth Army. What was going on! This kind of thing is unbelievable and unbelievable no matter how you hear it. Defeating a large Boka oasis is not a matter of the sky falling. Even if the gate is opened, it will not be so easy for the imperial army to expand the results, because this is a big desert, and every day The distance between an oasis can be as short as tens of miles or as long as more than a hundred miles. Even if the imperial army defeats the big oasis of Boka, it does not mean that it can continue to defeat the garrison of the big oasis behind! But the psychological pressure that the war brought to the Aden generals was what Eaglewoods least wanted to see.

The minds of the generals were wavering, and Eaglewoods' fingers clenched suddenly. The timing of the imperial army's intrusion was too coincidental. It happened to be the time when he was focusing all his attention on forcing the monarchs of the major oasis to sign an agreement. This is definitely no coincidence! Eaglewoods could feel that there was an invisible opponent opposite him.

The name of his old rival Hayela flashed through Eaglewoods' mind involuntarily, but soon, Eaglewoods rejected the idea himself.

It couldn't be Hayera. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Eaglewoods's mouth. He and Hayera had been confronting each other on the border for more than ten years. The two sides had fought countless battles overtly and covertly. Who didn't know the other yet, but he could guess it every time. Yela’s layout is because he knows, Hayala looks like a reckless man on the outside, but in fact, Hayala has amazing awareness of strategic layout, but it also exposes his weakness, that is, Hayala believes too much in planning, and when there is no absolute certainty, Come on, even if I let you go, I won't do anything.

It is precisely because of this that he knew about Hayera's character flaw. During the more than ten years of confrontation with Hayera, once Eaglewoods found something was wrong, he would immediately cut through the mess with a sharp knife. How many times did he get angry. Yela was furious. How many times had Hayela been caught off guard by his own random calls before Hayela's arrangements had time to take effect, and she directly changed from active to passive!

Precisely because he was sure that Hayera would not easily let the Imperial Army enter the Great Oasis without full confidence, Eaglewoods did not expect that Hayera would suddenly order the Imperial Army to enter the Great Desert. This was really unexpected. , completely inconsistent with Hayela’s current identity and situation! Hayela was once the number one general in Istanbul and fell into the arms of the empire. For more than a year, he was lukewarm. This time, he finally got the command of the great oasis because of the emperor's favor. He was replaced by I am Hayela, so I must be cautious. , before we were completely sure, we would never dare to send tens of thousands of imperial troops into the dead land of the desert. But now, in a hurry, tens of thousands of imperial troops were thrown into the desert in one breath. Ha Yela went crazy. Or... Eaglewoods frowned together.

Eaglewoods didn't know that the strategy of the imperial army on the opposite side had changed, so he was confused for a while.

"Sir, you can do whatever you want with me, Rumchi. Please also send reinforcements to other large oases immediately, without further delay, otherwise other oases may not be able to stop me," Rumchi shouted hysterically.

"I will naturally consider the reinforcements. If someone comes, take Rumchi down first!" Eaglewoods' face became more and more gloomy.

"Sir, since the embargo on supplies, our army's supplies have been stretched thin. The supply reserves of many garrisons can barely support a five-day march. If the army is allowed to go to the rescue, the army can go there, but will there still be supplies? I won’t know when I get back! But if we don’t send reinforcements, I’m afraid we will lose the morale of the army and fight to the death of other legions.

The generals stationed in several other large oases close to the Boca Oasis are already on pins and needles.

"Sir, I am suddenly feeling unwell, please forgive me."

Among them, the general who was stationed at the Thamid Oasis behind the Boca Oasis stood up and gave a military salute to Eagle Woods, then left his seat and walked out of the conference hall. The war was already burning, and he had to rush back immediately. Everyone from Eaglewoods The hesitant attitude can be seen as a strong sense of rejection. Although the empire's troops are sharp, judging from what Rumchi said, the empire did not invest many troops this time. This determines the empire's limited strength. In the time, the range that can continue to break in will not be too long! It is impossible to ask Lord Eaglewoods to send reinforcements immediately. It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself!

"Sir, if we don't rescue, our army will not only lose the big oasis, but the casualties will be tragic!" Someone among the generals said eagerly. The troops stationed in the major oasis have a tradition of rescuing each other. If they know that the enemy is attacking, they will not rescue each other. In the end, The result is that each one is defeated! Under the eager gazes of all the generals, Eaglewoods' lips trembled slightly. He really shot himself in the foot!
