Realm of Power

The sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream makes the forest seem more peaceful

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the tips of the trees, dragging out a long tail

Both the birds returning to their nests and the beasts foraging for food stay away from this once quiet valley

Because the once empty valley is now full of the hustle and bustle of people and horses, this is the temporary station chosen by the fat man

The light cavalry untied the heavy stirrups from the backs of the war horses, allowing the war horses to lower their heads and drink the flowing stream water occasionally and leisurely, and took out various weapons and equipment from the weapon slots on the hips of the war horses one by one, and carefully placed them on the ground,

Gently wipe the bright blade with a cotton cloth moistened by the stream water, and the cautious expression on his face is like admiring his most beloved woman,

"Don't cherish your weapons and horses. The cavalry is not a good cavalry"

This is the most common phrase used by the chief training officer Caesar Solon when training this new light cavalry

The legion commander Marquis Dustan who came to review later made a good supplement to this sentence

"A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a person who does not cherish his weapon is not even a soldier! If you want to establish great military exploits, without a handy weapon, nothing can be said! "

During the day, the news that a scout was besieged and killed by the peasant soldiers under the command of the Zhiwadin nobles had spread throughout the light cavalry regiment. Although the first squad that rushed there killed all the peasant soldiers, the noble was dragged back like a dead dog behind the horse,

but this still could not wash away the shame in the hearts of the proud light cavalry, From the captain who came back, the light cavalry learned something even more shocking.

"Zivadin City rebelled! The legion commander will launch a surprise attack on Zhivadin City tonight to suppress the rebels. The light cavalry regiment will be the first Samoan army to enter Zhivadin and chop off the heads of the rebels with their swords."

This made all the light cavalry ecstatic.

Just after dinner, the light cavalry began to prepare for the action at night.

Some squatted by the stream and carefully sharpened their thick-backed sabers with whetstones, some washed the dirt off their war horses with stream water, carefully checked their weapons, and then put them into the weapon slots of their war horses one by one.

All this was to be in the best condition at night.

The air in the canyon was flowing with An indescribable depression, the originally clear sky was covered with black clouds

This was a sign of the coming heavy rain

The light cavalry were required to untie the bells of their horses and fix all the equipment that might make noises

The 50 most elite guards cavalry responsible for the first wave of sneak attacks were required to wrap the four hooves of the horses with thick cotton cloth, and all the equipment that might affect the speed of the horses was taken off

One person, one horse, one sword, and even the armor on their bodies were taken off, which were all the belongings of these 50 guards cavalry

Speed ​​became the key to this night attack

One after another murderous temporary military orders were read out from the parchment in the hands of the squad leader

Those who make loud noises, kill

Those who talk without permission, kill

Those who expose their whereabouts, kill

. . . . . .

Fourteen murderous military orders were the night attack military regulations that Fatty had just issued temporarily.

The murderous military orders stimulated everyone's nerves.

Tonight,

his sword will swing a deadly cold light on the heads of the rebels, and all enemies will tremble in front of him.

All the light cavalry listened to the military regulations with excitement, and their blood was boiling.

In the "Wartime Decree" just issued by Samor,

the rewards for military merits flashed in the minds of the light cavalry.

Kill one person and reward one silver Luke!

Kill ten people and reward one gold Luke, and be promoted to captain!

Kill thirty people and be promoted to guard cavalry, and you can choose a piece of land in your village that is not taxed, and be granted the status of a senior warrior.

Glory, money, land, the opportunity to be promoted to guard cavalry, the opportunity to marry the most beautiful woman in the village, and the opportunity to get rid of the identity of a peasant forever. . . . . .

All these hopes that were out of reach suddenly surged in front of the light cavalrymen who had just trained for a month.

"My dear Lisa, tonight, I will use you to become a more prestigious person in the village than the new master of Sack."

The light cavalryman Caris carefully wiped his beloved sword on his back for the third time, and muttered excitedly in his heart,

"Men shed blood for fame!"

There are many light cavalrymen with such dreams.

The sky is gradually getting darker, and the last arc of the setting sun sinks into the distant sky.

The hearts of all the light cavalrymen began to get restless.

The fat man held a dry grass root in his mouth and leaned against the fork of a crooked tree. At the root of the tree lay Caesar Sauron with a leisurely face.

The fat man was waiting for the Eighth Heavy Infantry Regiment of Krolisat,

2000 light cavalry can easily crush 1500 light infantry on the plains,

but in urban street fighting, 1500 light infantry relying on defense can easily block the charge of more than 3000 cavalry

The city's solid buildings and well-connected layout

It is destined that this is the world of infantry

The fat man will not do such a stupid thing as using expensive cavalry to fight urban street fighting with infantry

Suddenly, a strong mountain wind whistled past the fat man,

The branches swayed up and down, but the fat man was as gentle as a small branch, and his fat body miraculously did not slide off the small tree trunk,

This strange scene made Caesar Sauron, who was resting below, stunned. He did not expect that the stupid fat man in his mind had such a magical side.

A drop of water fell from high in the sky onto the fat man's nose and shattered before his eyes

A dull thunder sounded faintly in the sky

The fat man looked at the sky above which was almost completely dark, jumped down from the crooked tree branch, spit the dry grass in his mouth on the ground, and smiled proudly at Caesar Sauron

"Hehe, you see, I was right, God is on our side, there will be rain when there is wind, and there will be a heavy rainstorm here soon!"

Caesar Sauron looked at the dead fat man with an excited face, and was about to stand up and argue with the fat man

"Boom!" Thunder exploded in the sky, and a sharp lightning flashed across the sky

A figure entered the canyon under the leadership of the Royal Guards Cavalry. It was the messenger sent to contact the Eighth Heavy Infantry Regiment of Krolisat at noon

The messenger came to the fat man, put his right hand flat on his chest and saluted, Respectfully reported

"Commander, the 8th Heavy Infantry Regiment of Colonel Krolisat has arrived at the Sakir Forest, ten miles away from Zhiwadin, as required. As soon as we see your signal, we will immediately lead the army into Zhiwadin City!"

"Good, good, good, what a dark and windy night for killing!"

The fat man laughed arrogantly when he heard the words of the herald, and excitedly said three good words in a row, then turned around and said to the guards beside him

"Immediately tell the whole army to assemble! The first wave of assault troops is going!"

"Woo, woo"

The low and long assembly bugle ignited the fighting fire burning in the hearts of all the light cavalrymen

The light cavalryman Caris excitedly inserted his beloved "Lisa" into the scabbard, and heavy rain fell from the sky. The big raindrops hit Caris' face, and the unextinguishable passion was in Caris' chest. Burning

"Tonight, I will become a real cavalryman!"

The sudden storm not only made the sky darker, but also drenched the defenseless defenders of the Rivadin city wall.

They hid in the arrow tower or the passage inside the city wall to avoid the rain. Large raindrops hit the stone slabs of the city wall, and white water splashed.

The dense raindrops were like beating war drums. All the guards left the battlements to avoid the rain.

Naturally, no one noticed that there were strange noises mixed in the dense raindrops. In the distance, a group of dark shadows rushed towards Rivadin like a pack of hungry wolves.

Since Rivadin is a commercial city, merchants often transport goods at night, so the city gates are not closed at night according to convention. Only a dozen ordinary guards in leather armor are arranged to guard.

The dark shadows in the rain hid in the shadows of the outer city wall. Moving at high speed towards the north gate of Riwadin, this was the route that Fatty had sent people to explore long ago. Since there were no guards on the city wall, and the outer edge of the city wall was a blind spot for the city gate, moving in the shadow of the city wall, no one could find this cavalry that suddenly appeared.

The leading captain of the guards cavalry, Saheen, saw that the corner was the target of this raid. He could even see from an oblique angle that two city guards were chatting listlessly in the city road. Excitedly, Saheen drew out his thick-backed sword and pointed it at the city gate passage. He turned his head and shouted to the guards cavalry following closely behind him,

"All-out attack, we must seize the city gate!"

"Shua" a flash of light passed by, and the sound of drawing swords came from behind, "Enemy...

Before the two gate guards had time to shout the alarm, they were chopped to the ground by the swords in the hands of the light cavalry.
