Realm of Power

Tachem stood on a slope east of the Harvey Army camp, with the Harvey Army flag behind him blown straight by the cold wind.

The military flags of countless Ikars in front were under his sight, and the roaring and killing sounds became smaller and smaller. Countless Ikars holding small bucklers in their hands and wearing light armor receded like a tide under the setting sun.

In silence, Tahem untied the heavy silver helmet and took off the ferocious mask on his face. At this moment, the ruthless Commander-in-Chief of Harvey's Eastern Army disappeared, leaving only a solemn-looking middle-aged man with a pale and handsome face, a thin face with clear outlines, white hair on the temples, and a pair of energetic eyes. Yiyi’s eyes are full of complicated expressions Color, the golden sunset rays in the distance tilt from the horizon to the snow-capped vast ground, the cloud tops are inlaid with a circle of purple glow, the color changes rapidly, an orange-red sunset light shines through the gaps in the clouds, flowing straight down to the earth, making people feel dizzy.

"I feel that the Ikar people are not that concerned about rescuing the Fifth Army. Yesterday they launched four attacks with a force of 10,000 people, but today there are only two teams. The Ikar people are probably waiting for the main force of the army to arrive. The probing attack ahead is to find the weaknesses of our army." A general of the Eastern Army said with a surprised look on his face.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army formed groups from the open spaces of various camps and formed a square formation that was conducive to defense. However, the Ikars only tried it out and then retreated. This made the generals of the Eastern Army feel like they were punching cotton in the face. feeling of powerlessness

"The passiveness of the Ikar people is not necessarily a bad thing for us," a general said in a low voice. To be honest, the thought of facing the heavy attack of more than 200,000 troops from Ikar, just after breaking through Ikar The Eastern Army, which was scarred in the battle of the Fifth Army, has not even been repaired once, and is now being used as a shield in front of other teams. Whoever replaces it will feel resentful in their hearts.

"We were the ones who clearly defeated Ikar's Fifth Army and turned the whole situation around. Why are we placed here? Ikar's Fifth Army has been surrounded, all their supplies have been lost, and they are already eating trees. Pi, how much fighting power does such an enemy have? The Royal Capital Army is simply taking advantage and leaving us with the hard-fought task of facing the Ikal rescue army." Another Eastern Army general said angrily, "Risk of failure will trapped to death It was us who defeated Ikar's Fifth Army with all our strength, but when it was time to gain military exploits, they deliberately excluded us. This approach of the Royal Capital Military Affairs Department is really unconvincing! The most combat-effective unit in the counterattack army, what good steel needs to be used on the blade, obviously does not want us to join the attack on the Fifth Army, and let us block the Ikar rescue army here, what kind of thing is this! "

"If you have any complaints, wait until the battle is over. Letting the Royal Capital Army take care of Ikar's Fifth Army is also necessary to restore the low morale of the Royal Capital Army as soon as possible. Naberei seeks my consent on this matter!" Tahem He looked away from the darkened earth in the distance, turned around and walked back, his eyes as sharp as a knife swept across the faces of his subordinates.

"Sir, the Ikars have added more troops." An attendant ran over from the side with a nervous expression.

"Send the order, and the entire army will maintain combat readiness."

Tahem took a deep breath with a solemn face, secretly guessing that the Ikar rescue army would launch an attack at night. Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, the Ikar Fifth Army might collapse at any time, hoping to tear apart the siege of Ikar during the night battle. The encirclement of Karl's Fifth Army, so if you don't fight or attack, it will be very crazy and fierce. Fiercely, the horn blew wildly. In the blood-red dusk, the last red clouds on the horizon reflected the Ikar people who kept appearing in the mountains and fields in the distance. The grass in the distance also withered under the murderous aura pouring from the opposite sky. The latest arrivals The Ikar army was like a nest of crazy ants, so dark that their momentum was chilling.

"Sir, Ikar's Fifth Army is breaking through, and the inner line seems to be unable to withstand it!"

An Eastern Army general came from the inside of the encirclement and said in a deep voice beside Tachem.

"What! So many troops can't even resist a half-dead Ikar Fifth Army?" Hearing the news, the other generals of the Eastern Army also exploded. They took advantage and ran very fast. They softened instantly when they encountered hard problems. You guys, the Royal Capital Army is all such trash. No wonder the Ikars swept them all the way.

Tahem also turned to look inside the encirclement, and sure enough he saw the sound of fighting coming from the inside of the entire encirclement. Countless boulders and rain-like arrows used to destroy the resistance of Ikar's Fifth Army roared across the sky with a shrill scream that cut through the air. , like a downpour of arrows falling from the sky, they clanked on the heads of the soldiers of Xiangykar's Fifth Army, and on their shields and armor, so densely that it was unimaginable. In an instant, like a card being overthrown by a giant hand, the Ikars in the forefront who tried to attack the encirclement were pierced by long arrows and fell down one after another. The soldiers in the rear jumped over them and continued to move forward, shouting wildly, Without hesitation, this kind of desperate offensive spirit was unimaginable two days ago.

The Fifth Army of Ikar obviously realized that if they did not fight to the death this time, the Fifth Army of Ikar would no longer have any possibility to continue to resist, because the reinforcements were coming! The more reinforcements from Ikar arrived on this battlefield, The more there are, the more determined the Harvey Army is in its determination to completely annihilate the Ikar Fifth Army before the main force of the Ikar people arrives to see!

Tonight is the last chance for Ikar’s Fifth Army

Even the Harvey swordsman, who was famous for his bravery, faced the onslaught of tens of thousands of Ikar troops who were forced to death. He did not dare to be careless when looking at the black crowd. The order echoed far away in the empty night: "First formation, retreat!" Nearly ten thousand troops formed a battle formation one mile wide. The archers in the first line ran back quickly. Twenty meters behind them, there was a neatly arranged bow and arrow formation. . Countless strong bows were drawn into a half-moon shape, and the bowstrings were "creeping". Only the word "release" was heard, arrow clusters were shot towards the opposite side at the same time, the shrill "whistle" of the wind continued, and another burst of howling ghosts and wolves came from the darkness. After two rounds of shooting, this column of archers also gave up their position and ran towards the back. They passed through the gaps between the formations of the third formation of archers and quickly lined up at the designated place. At this time, the third formation of archers had already set up. After catching the arrow, twenty meters behind, the archers who had withdrawn from the first group were quickly forming their team, bending their bows and loading arrows.

Eight layers of defense, the entire front is collapsing, scattered, and retreating in chaos layer by layer, and then regrouping to form a new front at the rear. Multiple retreats lengthened the charging distance of the Ikars. The tactics were simple but effective. The constantly disintegrating and constantly forming front lines were like a thick stack of absorbent paper, each piece of which fully absorbed the fifth Ikar army. The blood of the first royal capital In the attack battle, the advancement of the 300,000 Ikar army was exhausted little by little by similar tactics. The enemy was always close in front of them but untouchable. This made the enemy feel powerless and frustrated. This is what the defense master said. Burley's famous tactics.

But after all, the charging speed was much faster than the "retreat" of Harvey's army. After the formation changed several times, Ikar's army finally reached the real line of defense.

"Array of Spears"

Officer Harvey gave the order with a stern face, and all the archers withdrew from the gaps in the rear row. What appeared in front of Ikar's Fifth Army were thousands of spears and spears as neat as brushes. Points all forward. The fifth army of Ikar shouted ferociously, "Long live Ikar! Kill! Rush forward,

"Papa pa pa"

Tens of thousands of people from both armies began to collide like two equally fierce waves. Thousands of bodies fell down in the light of white-bladed swords, and thousands of blood spattered. A thin layer of blood rose on the battle line between the two armies. In the fog, Ikar's Fifth Army was on the offensive. The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour. Under the twinkling stars, the ground was soaked with blood. The spears of soldiers on both sides shone brightly in the dark night. The fifth army of Ikar attacked the right flank of Harvey's army with a fierce offensive. Along the way, they cut through the Harvey army's defense line like a sharp ax chopping wood. An Ikar officer rushed to the front holding the military flag high. In an instant, he was hit by countless arrows, and he shouted heartbreakingly, "Follow the military flag—charge!" Harvey's army was holding on to the defense line, and on the other hand, it was still killing people with stones and bows and arrows. The enemy tried their best to resist the crazy attack of Ikar's Fifth Army, and the rolling flow of people rushed in like a mountain torrent and a tsunami.

The knife was curled and the gun was broken. The Ikar soldiers rushed forward with their bare hands. They struggled with the Harvey soldiers on the ground and rolled into a ball. They strangled their necks, poked their eyes, tore their hair, and bit their throats, whether they were Harvey or Ikar soldiers. , at this moment, everyone has become a beast that only survives instinctively. There were horrific and fiery battles everywhere, with the clang of weapons being blocked, the horrific screams of the injured before they died, and the sound of the dead falling to the ground. In the whirlpool of the fierce battle, under the flying flags of both sides, blood flowed. Such as channel. The final madness of the Ikar Fifth Army erupted with terrifying savagery, forcing the encirclement to be pushed back by more than a hundred steps. Amidst the sharp whistling wind, countless Harvey Army soldiers and Ikar Army soldiers who were still fighting in the melee were shot instantly. Became a hedgehog,

The wind was blowing and the clouds were dancing, and the military flags were flapping overhead. The white-haired Nabori stood quietly, with two fires burning in his eyes. Behind him was the encirclement of fierce fighting. In front, between the lines that divided the sky and the earth, thousands of Tens of thousands of fires covered the entire plain, interspersed with the stars in the sky, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance── It was the torch of nearly 100,000 Ikar rescue troops who had gathered outside the encirclement. Looking down at the earth gave him the illusion of being superior to all things, as if the earth was a banner set up by someone, and the fighting of these hundreds of thousands of troops was just someone. As the battle situation changed, this feeling became more and more serious in Naberle's heart.

Originally, the Ikar Army and the Harvey Army had just concluded a battle in the royal capital, and both sides were undergoing repairs. It was conservatively estimated that the main battle would not break out until the spring of next year. However, only ten days later, an unexpected fighter plane appeared. In front of both sides, the two sides once again fell into a decisive life-and-death battle. If the previous battle only decided the outcome of the war, then this moment is a life-and-death battle that will determine the future of the two races.

In this battle, both sides have no choice but to fight to the end!

There is no winner in this battle. Whether they are the Ikars or the Harveys, they are just chess pieces pushed into the arena.

Ikar might not be aware of this, but he must be like himself and have no choice!

The main force of Ikar remained stationary, which worried Naboré. Although the commanders in various parts of the front line repeatedly begged for reinforcements, he resolutely refused. "The main force of the army must be used like a knife at the most critical place. The Fifth Army of Ikar The sudden counterattack is definitely not accidental, as long as our side cannot bear the pressure and will The main force is invested, and the Ikar Army behind it, which seems to only have 100,000 people, may double in number in the blink of an eye. At that time, there will be an attack from the 5th Ikar Army in the front, and a flanking attack from the 200,000 Ikar Army behind. The main force of Harvey's army, which has a strong camp and has not been repaired since the war, may not be able to withstand it.'

"Ikar's Fifth Army is already a mad dog, and the momentum of the attack is very fierce!" A general who came back from the battlefield said quickly, "If there are no new troops, and we only rely on the current strength of the defense line, our army will fight too hard. !”

"no!"

Naboré said categorically, pointing to the fire in the distance, "It's not yet time for the reserves to be dispatched! Their main force is still standing still. In terms of total combat strength, our army is not dominant." All along, Naboré Accustomed to the pre-emptive combat method, this has unknowingly formed his mindset. As the commander-in-chief of the Royal Capital Army, Naberle We know that the Harvey Royal Capital Army is far from being as effective as what we see before us. How many troops are just new recruits, and how many troops know that they are not even equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment. These superficially invisible scars will become real once they are real. Facing the full counterattack of the Ikar army, he will be turned over and become a fatal injury to the entire Harvey army at that moment!

"Report, the Ikar people have sent someone to deliver a wooden box!"

The messenger quickly ran to the bottom of Naboret, jumped on his horse and ran towards the heights where Naboret was. At the same time, the flag bearers on the outside waved torches and used semaphores to inform the ground commanders of the order. The signal was repeated three times in a row. Watching the city torches dancing, Naberle's stern old face showed a trace of confusion. He slowly took a deep breath and looked at the reserve phalanx composed of tens of thousands of main forces standing quietly like a mountain behind him, silently. Breathing pressure is felt. Naberet knew that as long as he gave the order, the tens of thousands of tigers behind him would rush forward and push back the Ikar Fifth Army that was trying to break into the encirclement.

Naberet groaned in a hoarse voice, "Let the messenger cavalry bring them here."

A heavy wooden box was quickly carried in front of Naboré by two messenger cavalry. It was a lacquered wooden box with brass edges. It was half a meter high and about one and a half meters long. The dark pine wood was painted on the material. It has a purple paint surface and copper-colored handles. It has nothing to do with luxury. It looks more like it just came from the home of a country noble. Although the clothes box that was grabbed to pack the clothes was not opened, a strong smell of blood was already wafting out. Naberli and the other generals frowned slightly, their eyes were extremely cold. After coming for more than ten seconds, Nabori Lei Cai raised his hand and commanded in a solemn voice, "Open it and see what the Ikar people want to do!"

"Pop!" The copper buckle of the wooden box made a crisp sound. Two messenger cavalry lifted the lid of the wooden box back. The contents inside did not surprise Nabori. There was a pile of bloody things, and several torches shone on the wooden box. , the things inside became clearer, and there was a sound of cold breathing.

"That's Roland!'

"Roland's head, what are those boxes full of ears?"

"A scout cavalry under Roland's command..." General Harvey murmured with an expression on his face. No general noticed that when he heard that the head was Roland, Naberet's hand suddenly covered his chest, and his expression suddenly changed. Pale, what he was most worried about finally happened!

A full-scale attack on Ikar's Fifth and Eighth Armies is a gamble.

The army is pouring out, and the royal capital is the biggest gap. But for the Kingdom of Harvey, this is the only chance to make a comeback. People always take chances, especially when faced with huge temptations, they will naturally and actively ignore it. There are certain fatal points, and Naboré is no exception!

"Send the order, the army is ready to retreat!" Naberle shook his figure and said through gritted teeth.
