Realm of Power

"Wang Ting Wolf Head Token!" Seeing the silver three-star token with wolf head patterns engraved in the opponent's hand, the guarding ranger captain shivered in fright.

This is the wolf head pattern token that represents the identity of the royal guard.

The wolf head represents the prominent status of the royal court, and the three-star wolf head represents the rank. The three-star wolf head indicates that the royal guard in front of him is at least the rank of squadron leader.

If this is calculated according to the rank of the local army, it needs to be raised by half a level, which is at least equivalent to the status of a deputy commander.

According to the Kugit military system with the tribal system as the core, each tribe is divided into regions according to its own sphere of influence, and tribal leaders hold different levels of military positions according to the number of tribes and regions.

A tribal leader with tens of thousands of people is the commander, and a tribal leader with tens of thousands of people is the flag leader.

Extraordinarily large tribes with more than hundreds of thousands of people can organize their own regional legions with the permission of the royal court. Military positions at all levels are responsible for the defense and government affairs of the region according to their scope.

For example, the Zuowei tribe that once marched southward to Wikiya is the largest tribe in the western part of the Kugit grassland.

The tribal population ranks third among the hundreds of Kugit tribes, reaching 280,000. At its peak, its military strength even reached 50,000.

Over the years, Fatty has been the biggest thorn in the side of the Royal Court. Fatty inflicted heavy losses on the Zuowei tribe in the southern part of Wikiya. It can be said that he did the Royal Court a great favor. This was the reason why the Royal Court and Fatty reached a certain tacit understanding of peace in the later stages of Kujit's southern invasion. premise

Although there is a huge difference in the numbers of the Kugit tribes, their military orders are extremely strict and unified.

According to the balance of strength among the tribes, with the main force of the royal court as the center, adult men from each tribe will form the local army in the area.

Each region has a general commander, and Wang Ting dispatches inspectors to be responsible for liaison.

This seemingly scattered power structure,

Since the independence of each tribe is preserved, the royal court can achieve a certain degree of control through the inspectors arranged by each tribe.

To the outside world, the Kujit cavalry gives the impression that they gather and disperse randomly, like clouds floating in the sky, completely impossible to figure out and grasp.

Often, as soon as the enemy is discovered, they are surrounded by Kujit cavalry from all directions.

These rangers were originally grassland hunters from various tribes. They had already formed the habit of hunting in the grasslands. In their spare time, they guarded the tribes and herded animals on the move. In wartime, they responded to the call of the royal court to form an army.

They often seem to have a small number of troops, but once they are assembled, they can gather sand into piles and rivers into seas, quickly forming an extremely powerful fighting group, like a pack of wandering wolves on the grassland.

"Princess Scelis!" The cavalry captain shivered in fright when he heard that it was a royal princess. He looked nervously at the beauty behind the royal guard, and quickly sent a small team to report to the fortress in front.

Soon, a group of Kugit cavalry rushed out from the fortress in front.

At the front is a cavalry general wearing fine mail armor, with tall cheekbones on both sides of his dark, skinny cheeks, and a bare black and reddish forehead that shines in the sun.

Under the thick eyebrows, there is a pair of bright eyes,"

This is a typical northern Kugit man. The cold climate and exposure to ultraviolet rays have caused red spots like burns on his face. His stocky figure makes him look extremely powerful.

A long bow made of precious white rhinoceros horn was hung on the crotch of his horse, which made Sceris retract her slightly contemptuous gaze.

The white rhinoceros is a specialty of the swamps in northern Kugit. It is over half a ton in size and runs like a heavy rolling stone. Its leather is hard enough to withstand swords and is the best material for making close-fitting inner armor.

Among the Kugit tribe, only the bravest men are eligible to use white rhinoceros horns and leather armor. Most of them are mounted on their own horned helmets to show off their bravery and prowess in battle. This is the first time Scellis has seen someone use white rhinoceros horns to make a war bow.

One is already rare, let alone a pair to make a war bow!

"What a luxury!" Even Sceris, a princess, cursed secretly when she saw the opponent's white rhinoceros horn and bow.

"Hello! Noble Princess Scerlis!" the fortress guard officer stopped his horse in front.

After carefully looking at the token in the hands of the royal guard, he gave a military salute to Scellis, "I am the defense officer here, Pogu Altai, what are your orders?"

"Potani Altay?" Upon hearing the guard officer's name, Sceris's face changed slightly, as if she remembered something. He asked nervously, "But Gu Altai, known as the Wolf Fang of the Wasteland!"

"Go back to your highness, Princess. This subordinate is indeed Bogu Altai of the Awentai tribe!" The Kugit guard officer opposite looked stunned and said calmly.

Sceris said with an ugly face, "I heard that your Awentai Department is responsible for the defense of the Rutoda Mountains this time. Why did you come to the Western Front?"

Mount Rudato? "Altay was stunned for a moment by the question, and then quickly explained.

"Princess Scelis may not know yet, but our Awentai tribe sent a total of 3,000 people this time. The royal court divided us into two parts.

One is stationed at Mount Rudato as the princess said, and the other is our western border outpost in Vikia! "

When Sceris heard that there were still Aventai tribesmen staying on Ludato Mountain for defense, she finally relaxed and looked at the light cavalry patrolling around with her bright and pretty eyes. Suddenly asked "How many people do you have in your hands now?"

"This..." Bogu Altay looked hesitant for a while and responded with an embarrassed look.

"Your Royal Highness, because the Western Front is close to Vekia. The main task of our garrison is to protect the safety of the caravan rather than fight, so I only have 150 level 2 horse archers and 600 level 3 rangers."

"No matter how many people there are, I want them all!" Scellis heard that there were nearly 800 people here, and nodded with the riding crop in her hand with a joyful expression.

"I have an urgent mission to go to Rudato Mountain, but now the outside of Aichemore is full of Ruidian troops. I need your help! I want to rush over from the Ruidian military camp."

"Eh? Attack the Ruidian Army Camp? I'm afraid..." Bogu Altay looked ugly. Leaving the defense zone without authorization is a major crime in any country.

What's more, taking a pitiful few hundred men to attack the Ruildian Army Camp with more than 100,000 people,

Now outside Aichemore, the Ruildian Military Camp stretches for more than 20 miles. It can be said that the military is at its peak, with a forest of spears. Looking from a distance already makes people feel chilly.

There are also a large number of cavalry constantly patrolling outside the camp, which can be said to be impregnable in defense.

It is impossible to rush through forcefully. Even if there is a chance to rush in, as long as you are not careful. He might be entangled by enemies surrounding him from all sides, and then he would really be dead and not even a scumbag! "

"I didn't expect Wild Wolf Fang to be afraid of death! Seeing Bogu Altai's hesitant expression, Sceris knew what he was thinking, and her face suddenly turned cold.

Sceris took the three-star arc-moon flag from the hands of the royal guards beside her, stretched it out in front of Bogu Altai, and asked in a cold voice, "You should recognize this, right?"

"It's the three-star arc-moon battle flag of the Royal Court!" Altai looked at the battle flag in Sceris's hand, with a hint of embarrassment on his dark face. He felt a little ashamed of his timidity and said with a trembling voice.

"Haha! As long as you know each other," Sceris sneered. With her right hand, she pulled out the Blue Moon Saber from her waist and placed it on the neck of Altay.

The sharp blade of Fenghan carried a refreshing murderous aura, which made the still hesitant Bogu Awentai turn pale.

"Ah! Princess, what are you doing?" Altay, including his men and horses, was frozen there, not daring to move! From Scelise's face as cold as ice,

What Altay saw in the wave valley was cold-blooded murderous intention, and it seemed that even the blood in his own body was frozen.

This is no joke,

In addition to their forthright character, the Kugits are also direct in temperament.

Altay had no doubts. As long as he hesitates any longer, the beautiful princess in front of him will definitely slash his throat with a scimitar without hesitation.

Fights often occur in the army, and killing generals before battle is also common. Generals who fail in battle are often beheaded on the spot.

Sceris looked at the pale-faced Bogu Altai and said sternly

"Since you are the general of the Awentai tribe, you should know that according to the royal court's decree, the royal court battle flag is in my hands, and I have the power to restrain all Kugit tribes I encounter.

Since I brought this matter up, I will take full responsibility!

What you have to do is, just like you swore to the Immortal Heaven at your coming-of-age ceremony, follow the flying royal court battle flag and launch a charge. Otherwise, I can chop your head off for disrespecting the battle flag!

"Yes, my subordinates must obey the battle flag! The place pointed by the battle flag is the direction of my charge." Seeing that there was no room for reversal, Altai nodded firmly.

Bogu Altay felt that instead of carrying the shame of not respecting the battle flag, it would be better to fight to the death.

It’s not a success, but at least it didn’t disgrace his reputation as a wilderness wolf.

Now Altai feels that he can only place his hope in the noble Princess Sceris in front of him.

Since he is qualified to carry the three-star arc-moon battle flag that represents the identity of the royal court, his status and dignity and power should be definitely not that of ordinary members of the royal family.

As long as he follows the battle flag, he might still have a chance of survival.

Although Pogu Altay doesn’t know why Sceris went to the Rudato Mountains, as a Kugit warrior, he has an innate respect for the royal flag.

"Gather! Our time is very tight!" Sceli ordered firmly

"Gather! All the troops follow the banner of the Royal Court!" Bogu Altai shouted loudly to the messenger behind him,

"Woo!" A loud and unique call, sometimes high, sometimes low intermittently, is the call of the white-headed thunderbird unique to the Kugit grassland. This is the unique contact method of the Awentai tribe.

After hearing the tribe's signal, the rumble of horse hooves on the ground gradually sounded. Hundreds of Kugit Rangers were like the bow of a ship splitting the waves, and like high-speed moving black lines, they galloped out of the distant shrubs and grass.

They quickly moved closer to the high-speed moving flag in front, and soon formed a high-speed moving cavalry group behind Sceris's three-star arc-moon flag.

"Well done, you are all our bravest warriors in Kugit! The grassland will always remember everything you have done for today!" Sceris saw more and more cavalry gathering behind her, and her bright eyes flashed. water vapor,

Although these Kujit Rangers are not the most elite warriors, they are the most courageous people. If a few hundred people attack a camp of more than 100,000 troops, I am afraid that only a few will come out alive.

He suddenly raised the big flag in his hand high into the air, and his long black hair was blown away by the wind. The three-star arc-moon flag was fully unfolded, and the flag surface was blown fiercely by the oncoming prairie wind.
