Realm of Power

"Shield attack!"

Following Rio Hans's cry, the Vekia heavy infantry were like stacked fish-scale shields, pressing one after another, "crunching" the metal armors of both sides collided directly, making a harsh friction sound. Under the horrified gaze of Knight Salander Mamunuk, the huge shield of the Vecian hoplites pressed against them like an extremely heavy iron wall.

"Thrust!" At the moment when the shields of the two sides collided, the front row siege infantryman of Vecia had already pulled out the long Mitsubishi spike tied to his thigh without hesitation, and inserted it crazily from the gap between the shields of both sides, " "Pfft!" The crisp sounds of armor-piercing sounds came one after another after the collision. While the Salanders were still stunned, there were already hundreds of brave Salander Mamunuks covering their chests, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Down,

Seeing the most elite Mamunuk knights in the first row defeated without even reacting, the Mamunuk knights behind them all showed pale faces. This was too weird. It took only a few minutes to go to the second row. They all turned into corpses again, but there were no obvious traces on their bodies. Only bright red blood could be seen constantly emerging from the corpses of these fallen knights, turning the entire area into a muddy pool of blood.

"There's something weird, everyone, be careful!" Knight Salander Mamunuk behind him used his poor little buckler to protect his heart. His voice contained anger and fear. The advance line of the Vecian heavy infantry had already rushed into the narrow gap. , the dense spears stabbed like raindrops,

There was a sound of metal hitting, and the siege cone in Rio Hans's hand brought out a light and shadow, and hit the head of a Mamunuk knight wearing a red tasseled hat, and blood flowed from the opponent's helmet. When it exploded, the dazzling silver cross helmet collapsed inward by a third. The body in thick armor lay on the ground like noodles. The body was twitching disorderly. It was obvious that he could not survive.

"Damn, these guys are so tough!"

Riohans licked his lips, and a pungent salty-sweet smell stimulated the base of his tongue. This was the taste of blood. He didn't know if it was his own, or it was splashed on him by the enemy opposite. But it is enough to stimulate his adrenal glands that have reached the peak of secretion. This is a siege battle. Either you die or I die. If you don't want to die, you can only keep waving your weapons until there is no standing creature on the opposite side.

"No way, if this continues, everyone will be ruined! Order the front line to retreat and retreat into the inner fort."

The defender of Laiming City, Marquis Braunjavier, looked ugly. In order to fill the small gap, he had already pushed all two Mamunuk Knights, but this obviously had no effect. War Elite, a well-known siege warfare expert in the mainland, could see that even in the face of the Mamunuk knights with superb martial arts skills, the Wekiyans' strict military formation like a black wave still stood up to the wind. Although the advance was very slow, But it squeezed forward slowly and steadily,

A dense crowd of people crowded into this gap less than a hundred meters wide from both inside and outside. Shields were pressed against shields. Various weapons on both sides kept thrusting, hacking, and hitting heavily. Puffs of bright red blood flowed from both sides. The army sputtered out, and behind the falling corpses were more figures rushing forward. Tens of thousands of eyes were staring at this place. This was a contest of warriors. The victory of either side was enough to arouse the morale of the army. high

Seeing these Salander elites being wasted in the gap, Marquis Braunjavier also felt a little unacceptable. The Mamunuk Knights are a military branch that advocates personal martial arts. If they work alone, a Mamunuk Knight can withstand 4 to 5 The combined attack of two heavy infantrymen, but in a narrow and crowded siege battle, the Mamunuk knights, who had never paid attention to teamwork and protection capabilities, were like a wall in front of the hedgehog-like Vecchia siege phalanx. pushed down like a decaying wall

There was a time when Voctus really missed his life as a Guardsman.

That is the real cavalry, galloping freely and horizontally, the big ego is the biggest, the mountains of swords and fires come and go, that is the flamboyant life of a soldier. During the war, they are the most passionate men, bravely brave the mountains of swords and seas of fire, Without even frowning, in his free time, he is the most romantic man and can give everything he has for a beautiful woman.

That is the life of a true warrior. Even though he paid the price of being punished for being romantic, Vectus did not feel any regret. What real man is not romantic? If you look at the Grand Duke, you will know that he is destined to be a prostitute.

It's a pity that as his position gets higher and higher, this flamboyant life seems to be getting further and further away. Although he is now in charge of nearly 6,000 elite soldiers, he finds that he no longer has that flamboyant feeling, but seems a little bit... He is walking on thin ice with fear, because any decision he makes may lead to tens of millions of casualties... Sometimes, he himself doesn't know whether this should be something to be happy about or something to regret?

"Siege the city on the spot and advance forward!"

Seeing the heavy infantry that had occupied the city wall in the distance, Vectus turned around and gave orders to the messengers behind him. The inner fort of Leming City was made of solid granite. The towering four-corner fortress was thirty meters high, only in the A small iron gate under the castle can can enter, but it is also under the surveillance of countless shooting holes. If it is attacked by force, the price paid will not be less than capturing the city wall, but its weakness is also extremely obvious, that is, the water source is insufficient. As long as the water source outside the inner fort is cut off, the people inside It is difficult for people to stick to it.

People can go without eating for several days, but they can never go without drinking water for several days! Therefore, retreating to the inner fort is often only done when you are forced into a desperate situation.

Vactus did not want to force his opponent into a completely deadly battle. After all, the opponent still had more than 2,000 soldiers capable of fighting. Moreover, the Grand Duke had issued an order to reduce the number of troops fighting in Salander as much as possible while completing the mission. The massacre of the Salanders, he He handed over his orders and suggestions to the messenger behind him, and asked him to immediately deliver them to Grand Duchess Nilay in the rear army. After all, she was the commander-in-chief of this army, and the order she received was to assist Nilay. Grand Duke, instead of taking over the guests, which is a taboo of Grand Dukes

After receiving the report of Walker Tustu's advance, Nilai, who was standing on the hill watching the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her pretty face was a little pale, the mountain wind blew on her silver armor, and her long golden hair was like a coiled waterfall. Stretched to the waist that she couldn't hold, the battle ended so quickly, which made her a little unexpected. Although this was not the first time she saw the Vecian army fighting, she still couldn't calm down the shock in her heart.

This army was so powerful that it conquered the outer wall of Laiming City, which is known as a fortified city, in one afternoon. The resistance of the knights of Lima Munuk was almost like a prairie fire, sweeping away any obstacle with unstoppable momentum. The opponent before them,

"Tell the leader of the Walkertus Banner that I will send a negotiator immediately!" Nilai held the report in her hands, but she was inexplicably moved in her heart. She knew that this was a favor sold to her by the fat man.

If the opponent is the Vekians, the defenders of Lemingburg can only choose to die with stone to show their final resistance, but if they negotiate in the name of the Salander Northern Army, the defenders of Lemingburg should not choose to die. in the end. After all, surrendering to his own people is something that the heroic Mamunuk knights can accept.

The envoy who went to Laiming to negotiate soon set off. He was the former Mamunuk knight Yesug. Because he was deprived of his Mamunuk identity by Kyoto, the sky priest did not take him with him when he returned to the capital. Instead, he took him Entrusted to his disciple Nilai,

The embarrassed defenders first refused to negotiate, and after the Wikians put the dark siege thunder god on the city wall, they put the silver-haired knight in with an embarrassed look, and pulled the heavy iron gate. The iron chain slowly twitched, and the iron gate was stained with blood. Only a crack in the door was exposed, just enough for one person to enter sideways, and then it quickly closed again, like the closing and collision of the gates of hell echoing outside the castle, which seemed so heavy.

Under the guard of four Mamunuk knights wearing red cloaks, Yesug walked up the granite steps leading to the main hall of the castle.

The light was very dark due to overcrowding. Under the light of the flickering torch, Yesug took a deep breath of air-conditioning. He saw that the entire inner fort was filled with wounded soldiers, and painful wails came from inexplicable directions from time to time. , like the shrill screams of the devils who are being roasted in hell,

Because I didn't expect to be defeated so quickly and so tragically, the entire small space in the inner fort was filled with injured and bleeding soldiers. The pungent smell of blood hit their faces. Some soldiers with tattered armor looked at them numbly. The dark walls seemed to have even their souls dissipated in their trance-like eyes. From time to time, someone would carry dead wounded soldiers past them, and despair was spreading.

"Dear knight, give me some saliva!"

I saw a high-ranking Mamunuk knight wearing a red cloak walking by. A veteran over 50 years old used his pale palms full of bones to hold the leg of a knight who had just stepped on his palm. , the palms of his hands were bloody and frightening to see. In response to his pleas, the Mamunuk knight had no expression on his face, but pushed him away.

Passing through the corridor of the castle, the smooth granite steps in front of the lord's hall no longer look so gorgeous and perfect. The bright red blood drops extend from the steps to the bottom, like a red blood line, so dazzling under the light of the torch. At the top of the steps, hundreds of Mamunuk knights were half-kneeling on both sides of the steps with heavy faces. In the defense line where they knelt down, a burly corpse covered by a white cloth was dug there.

"What's going on?"

Yesug's face was stunned for a moment. These bright red blood drops just now gave him an ominous premonition. Different from what he had seen before, the color of these blood drops was so red. They were completely fresh blood that had just left the human body.

"The Marquis of Braunjavier is dead. Just when you were going out, the red knight Jerry Reese assassinated the Marquis of Braunjavier on the steps!" A Mamunuk knight who was obviously the leader walked over from the front, more than forty years old. Years old, with thick stubble standing upright like an arrow, he looks majestic. Yesug, who was born in Mamunuk, knows him, the commander of the Sixth Mamunuk Knights, the Marquis of Sokrisei

"You mean Gerhardo's second son, Red Knight Jerryris!" Yesug's face turned gloomy. When he was still called Eagle Knight, Red Knight Jerryris was his competitor. He originally thought he had already Fleeing back to Kyoto, I didn’t expect to hear this name in Laiming

"Yes, that's him. He was appointed by Lord Berrent as Lord Braunjavier's aide-de-camp," Marquis Socrisse responded.

"So how is he now? Killing a commander should be a serious crime?"

Yesug continued to ask a little coldly, with a hint of ferocious murderous intent in his eyes. Although they were both Knights of Salander Mamunuk, many of the actions of Red Knight Jerry Reese made the two of them stand as mortal enemies.

"Of course, we executed him secretly in accordance with the Mamunuk Knight Code!" Marquis Socrisse pretended not to see it, and shook his head with regret. "A very nice young man, why can't he think about it like this? The current situation is as simple as this. If you don’t surrender, you will die! In fact, we have already expected such a result from the day we learned about the fall of Kulonze.”

When the news that Ni Lai's Northern Army occupied Laiming City reached Fatty, Fatty was standing on a hill and staring at a city in the distance with a solemn face. The moon was exceptionally bright ≈ the fullest moon in the month. At that time, there were stars in the sky, but there were no clouds at all. The cold moonlight spread unrestrictedly around the entire city, reflecting the surrounding mountains with a faint light.

In the past, such a bright moonlight would bring strong inspiration to countless poets, and would also make people bathed in the moonlight feel joy and tranquility. Unfortunately, tonight's moonlight brings only the legendary Horrible and weird.

As the falcon battle flag of the Wiki runner-up appeared around the city ▲ Letek City fell into a cold and murderous atmosphere ≮ The wide and high city wall, the Mamunuk knights in armor were standing ready, from the battlements Behind his back, he looked at the Wikiyan military camp with eager eyes, looking very angry and a little bit scared.

The news that the Wikiya army has been fighting in the north of the kingdom has made Kyoto very angry. As the last fig leaf on the periphery of Salander Kyoto, in order to stop the rapid approach of the Wikija army, Salander Kyoto will use all the 30,000 troops at the bottom of the box. Pressing on this line of defense,

In the dark night, Zaretec City looks like a tiger lying in the mountains. Therefore, Zaretec City is also known as Tiger Hunting City. It is surrounded by surrounding mountains leading to the Kyoto Plain. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend. Its unique curved and irregular walls are absolutely unique in the entire Salander.

This kind of irregular water chestnut wall can inflict different damage to the enemy from multiple directions, and the condescending terrain and sliding angle are conducive to the defense of heavy trebuchets in the city. Due to the solidity of Salettek City, in Salander During the many wars in the kingdom's history, it was a battleground for military strategists from the north and the south. Every battle would leave large tracts of corpses here.

Legend has it that the reason why the land around Salatek City turns red is that it is dyed red with blood. [There is another saying that whoever can control Salatek City is equivalent to strangling the most critical throat of Kyoto.

However, the most famous thing about Sarandek City is not its important strategic location or its solidity, but its spring water. ▲The hot springs of Sarandek City are definitely one of the most famous resources of the island country of Sarande. According to previous records, the city of Zaletek was located near a volcano, which caused the underground water source to heat up and gush out, thus forming wonders of large and small hot springs.

Looking out from inside the battlements, they could clearly see that under the bright moonlight, the Vecians, who were wearing black armor as the main color, were setting up camp and digging trenches to surround them. Many trenches were easing the process. The ground extends gently but unstoppably to the bottom of the city wall, less than twenty meters away from the moat.

There are rumors circulating in their ears, that is, some people say that the Vekians are mobilizing an extremely terrifying new weapon, and this is how Leming City was destroyed. No one knows whether the rumors are true or false, but every Salander Be mentally prepared to live or die with the city.

In fact, they didn't know that the only ones who showed up at the gates of Salatek City were the 4,000 Guards Cavalry led by Fatty himself. The other 10,000 cavalry were divided into groups and penetrated into the peripheral towns of Salatek City, which was weakly defended. Various defeat tactics left the city of Zaletek completely isolated under the siege of the Vecian army.

Slowly putting down the observation glass in his hand, the fat man showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. According to the intelligence department, the number of Salander troops currently gathered in Zaletek City is between 60,000, among which the 30,000 Royal Forest Army reinforcements from Kyoto are the most adept at fighting.

The other 30,000 people appeared to be a mixed bag, including coalition forces from local lords and defeated troops retreating from the front line. The person in charge of military affairs was a Duke named Feishite.

It is said that he is the brother-in-law of the contemporary Sultan Salander and is the most loyal to the royal family. Of course, there are some unpleasant rumors in private, such as the two people having an unexplained friendship with a woman at the same time, and it is the kind of one woman and two men. According to the situation, some nobles even swore that the woman was the noble queen.

Fatty didn't have much interest in such rumors. What he focused on was that the biggest feature of this physically demanding talent was that he seldom made mistakes. A cruel, ruthless, complex and ever-changing war is a competition between the two sides to see who makes more mistakes. The more mistakes the two sides make, the greater the possibility of failure. On the contrary, the fewer mistakes they make, the more likely they are to win. It is also the choice of the fat man. The reason for temporarily attacking the outer towns first

From this point of view, Fatty would rather Duke Berente stay in Zaletek City◎because with his personality, he will inevitably interfere with Feishit's command and prompt Feishit to make mistakes.

But now if the Vecian army forcibly breaks through Salander Kyoto, the Vecian army will definitely become an invader in the hearts of most Salander people, and the good image and good friendship established previously will be in vain.

"Besiege it and wait for it to change!" This is Fatty's attitude towards Salander Kyoto. It may be difficult to attack Kyoto by yourself, but isn't there a Normandy squatting next to him!
