Realm of Power

The setting sun is like blood, reflecting on Ye Ruige, which is like a sea of ​​​​blood hell. The magnificent scenery has a hint of desolation.

Yeruige, located on a hilly slope more than 30 meters high, can just see the red sunset, the last moment of its brilliant brilliance as it sets behind the mountains.

The blood-red luster slowly converged on its afterglow, as if it was taking away all the dark red color of the condensed blood on the battlefield, leaving only a sad light on the earth.

The collapsed city gate was the most brutal place for the confrontation between the two armies. The dense weeds under the city wall had long been flattened by the horseshoes of the Kujit cavalry, and the land looked mixed with red and yellow.

A day of continuous attacks and the blood of countless warriors once again dyed the land of this immortal city crimson. Under the cover of the bows and arrows behind them,

Carrying spears and scimitars, they fought through the narrow gaps filled with corpses and advanced over the corpses of their companions. They seemed to be a steady stream of water, attacking the tower of Ye Ruige one after another, as if they were trying to block the people who were blocking them. Everything in front is torn to pieces.

Bodies scattered everywhere, broken spears, broken scimitars, broken bows and arrows, incomplete military flags of various colors, covered the most beautiful place in Ye Ruige, and the Ruidian military flag was broken into rags. , choking in the evening breeze, making people feel an uncontrollable sadness.

In this silent black world, there are only those eagles chasing corpses, rising and falling incessantly, as happily as if they are attending a banquet.

Their food was too abundant, so they had reason to be happy, until the Kukit cavalry, who really couldn't stand it, drove these scavengers away with bows and arrows.

The firelight from the Kugit camp illuminated the ground outside the city like candlelight, putting tremendous pressure on the hundreds of Ruidian soldiers who were still holding on to the city wall.

After a day of fierce fighting, only 796 of the 5,000 defenders were left. The thin men could not even stand on the city wall. If it weren't for the Kugits who were also exhausted and chose to retreat in the evening, there might be no Ruidian people in Yeruige now.

The cold night wind was biting and cold, and piles of fires were lit on top of the city to illuminate this place like a sea of ​​blood and hell.

Bertrand Bonnie chose to sit down at the corner of an incomplete city road. The silver armor on her body looked dim under the dark red stains. She stared blankly at the dark sky outside the city, undulating in the distance. The hills, drawn out a graceful arc in the flickering firelight

"Bonnie, what are you thinking about?" Duke Berlant limped from the opposite side, his right arm bandaged with blood-stained white cloth, with a faint smile on his old but energetic face.

Behind him were two royal guards knights wearing red cloaks and looking haggard.

This is King Haraus, specially sent to protect Duke Berlant for this arduous blocking battle. These two knights of the guard are one named Vidor and the other named Tucker. They are from the Palavon nobles. The best among the Kingdom's Guards Knights. Among them, Vito once won the championship in the Kyoto Knight Competition. His whirlwind knight sword can cut down six arrows at the same time. Even Duke Bertrand can't compare with him.

Tucker is a knight archer. Although his skills are not very good, he is smooth and agile. The knight's war bow in his hand can shoot three arrows in a row. He performed well in the fierce battle just now and inflicted heavy damage on the Kugits who came to the city.

But for some reason, Bonnie always felt that the way the two men looked at her father's back was a bit strange, especially when there was a fierce battle at the city gate in the afternoon.

These two close guard knights actually broke away from Duke Berlant due to the excitement of fighting, causing Duke Berlant to have to deal with three Kugit knights alone.

Although there was no danger in the end, the sharp scimitar of the Kujit cavalry also hit Duke Berlant who was rushing at the front in the chaos. If the heavy armor on his body hadn't resisted most of the force, the entire line would have been destroyed. The arms will be cut off,

"Father, my mind is very messed up." Bonnie raised her head and looked at Duke Berlant who was walking towards her with a pale face. She frowned slightly and said, "Starting from Futu City, we can't pass through the 5-mile-wide Riken Forest. It only takes three hours at most for the knights and horses to reach Ye Ruige, but why haven't we seen our reinforcements until now?"

"Maybe there is some emergency. As you know, the Kugit army going south this time is not only the 30,000 people in front of us, but also the 30,000 Kuangchi Corps led by the famous Kugit general Zamu himself.

That was the real main force heading south this time. If it hadn’t been for this barrage of reinforcements, our northern defense line wouldn’t have been broken through so quickly.”

"I heard that guy is less than 30 years old. Heroes come out of youth. I can no longer keep up with this era." There was an unspeakable embarrassment in the corner of Duke Berlant's mouth.

Indeed, according to the plan, the reinforcements from Kyoto should have arrived in the afternoon, but now it is dark and not even a horse hair can be seen.

Berlant had already guessed the reason for this.

The royal family does not want a marshal who holds military power and is highly respected. His current biggest opponent is a Wikiyan. Marshal Berlant is not a native of the country. This is not a secret among the upper echelons of Ruidian. Even in many cases, It becomes an excuse for Ruidian people to show off their generosity.

However, with the series of defeats of Ruidian in Wikiia, not only the loss of troops, but also the loss of several pieces of the impregnable area. I don’t know when, there was a suspicion that Duke Berlant was secretly colluding with the people of Wikiia. The sound, like the cold wind blowing in the dark night, quickly spread in the corners of Palawan, Kyoto

This northern war with the Wikiyan people has raised this doubt to a terrifying level. Some people even secretly suggested that the defeat in the north was simply written and directed by themselves and the Wikiyan Falcon. The purpose of a good show is to weaken Ruildian's national power and let Wikiya replace Ruidian as the new continental overlord.

If it weren't for King Haraus's strong denial, the Berlant family would have been expelled from Ruidian long ago. They are frightening. Thinking that he has served the kingdom with all his heart for 30 years, but got such a result, Berlant The marshal's heart was ashen, and he had already had the thought of death.

"As a warrior, the best place to belong is on the bloody battlefield." This is Duke Berlant's motto. If you are going to die, then die on the battlefield. Such an ending is already expected.

For the Northern Army's last chance to save face, he couldn't say anything. If he did, the entire Berlant family would face disaster.

"Night attack" a shrill cry suddenly came from a distance, a noisy metal collision, and the howl of falling from the city, quickly broke the dark tranquility,

"Quick, throw the torch" the shout of Captain Ruidian came from the distance,

Several torches were thrown down from the corner tower, and by the light of the fire, Duke Berlant saw a scurrying Kujit warrior with a machete in his mouth, trying to climb over an almost undefended crenellation. The heads are like a swarm of ants squirming in the dark night

"It seems that I won't be able to rest tonight."

Duke Berlant raised his head with difficulty, waved to the two royal knights behind him and said, "Vidor, you and Tucker stay to assist Bonnie. No matter what, her safety must be guaranteed."

The two royal knights were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then agreed with strange expressions.

Duke Bertrand stood up unsteadily, took the opportunity to pick up the sword from the ground, and said in his daughter's ear in an almost low and inaudible voice.

"Bonnie, if I unfortunately die in battle, don't hold a grudge against anyone. Just transport my body back to Vecchia. I don't want to remain an outsider after my death."

Bertrand Bonnie's body was shaken. At this moment, she seemed to understand everything. The reinforcements might be watching here somewhere, and the reason why they did not appear was because of a special reason.

"Come to me from the First Squadron, everyone else, hold on to the right tower," Marshal Berlant's hoarse shout came from the distance. Some soldiers got up from the ground and followed. These thin and sparse figures were different from the dense crowds under the city wall. Kugits, completely out of proportion

"Father" looked at the figure disappearing at the corner of the city road, and two crystal tears rolled down from Berlant Bonnie's pretty eyes,

In the distance, behind a undulating hill, a pair of eyes with complex expressions were looking at the fierce battle in Yeruige City.

The howling cold wind here was like encountering a strange black wall, making a sharp whine. In the dark night, countless Rendian knights wearing heavy armor seemed to be entrenched one by one. The huge monster in the depths of darkness is lurking quietly. Under the fallen iron mask, there are pairs of cold and murderous eyes.

"His Royal Highness, this is a signal"

In the distance, the broken battle flag fluttering from the top of Yeruige City rolled down like a kite with its string broken. A Knight of Ruidian with a cross-patterned mask began to become restless.

Beside him. A knight with a long red tassel floating on the top of his helmet, his hand holding the reins tightened involuntarily, and his eyes became extremely hot at this moment

"Everyone, it's time to reap the glory. Swing your swords and chop off their heads."

"Clang...clang" The crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed was like a burst of green sound in the dark night, making a slight trembling sound in the air, and the lingering sound was endless.

The rumbling thunder shook the earth, and the 20,000 Ruidian knights, like a long, fast-moving line, crossed the hills and passed through the flat ground outside Yege City. They were like cold sharp blades, suddenly cutting off the library from the night void. lucky The Te people were still screaming in their throats, and the war horses were like a tide. The unsuspecting 30,000 Kugits were suddenly thrown into chaos, and were torn in two from the middle. The galloping horses brought rolling swords, and the Kugits were like The harvested wheat straw fell in pieces

"Kill no one and don't let go"

The voice of the great prince Aklisas of Redian was trembling with excitement. After this battle, he will definitely be superior to other princes with his proud military exploits.

"The reinforcements are our reinforcements." From the top of the city of Ye Ruige, the shouts of the Ruidian people who were preparing for the final battle and who had survived the desperate situation could be heard.

"Father" was only Bonnie, with tears in her eyes, looking lonely at the place where the military flag fell.
